Andrews day.
The first address was delivered ny Hr
Edward S. Elliott, secretary OF ne state
council. His subject was the ninth an
nual convention of the Brotherhood of
st. Andrew, which was held at Washing
ton, d. c., in last October. He spoke of the
speakers and their addresses and gave
brief resume of the incidents of the
convention.
Mr. f. T. B. Glenn of Americus presi-
dent Of the diocesan council of the broth
erhood of Georgia, which now includes
fourteen chapters in the various cities Of
the state. spoke at some length on the
subject, FISHERS Of Men"
He first thanked the Savannah chapter
for its kindness and hospitality in inviting
him. to participate in their meeting. He
said he was surprised when elected presi-
dent of the state council la az
alluded modestly to the duties of the Of
flee and his unWorthiness and how the
Savannah brothers had encouraged him
He was "tremblingly trying to blaze the
way, he said $50 that his successor
might at least take advantage of his err
rors, and like Joshua Of old, lead the
brotherhood to that success intended by
God" He spoke of how strange it was
that in this Christian land, it's thousands
of churches, able ministry and education
al facilities, it Is necessary to have such
an organization, to bring men to God;
how that II the name of the order We're
ever changed, no name would be so appro-
pirate as Fishers of Mem" how appro-
pirate that Christs first missionary was
a fisherman. A great similitude exists he
remarked, between fishers of waters and
fishers of men God never intended that
men should carry their religion locked in
their breasts or care nothing for the spir-
ingratitude Of men to God.
He urged dull and listless brothers to
ask Gods guidance, and not endanger the
spiritual lives of their chapters, ''as dead
limbs sap the life of a growing plant"
Cali upon them, he said, to launch out
boldly into the deep waters of this sinful
world and become fishers of men, He
paid glowing tribute to the early teach
ings of his mother, whose one demand
was performance of duty and thorough
ness in all things. He described in an
amusing way, how, as a child, he hated
the word thoroughly" and closed with
a touching account of the death of a gal
liant North Carolina officer at the battle
of South Mountain, picturing the fidelity
of his servant, and pointed out the ex-
ample set by master and slave, which
should be an encouragement TO the broth
erhood Mr.. Glenn was not at all well,
but one could hardly realize it from his
delivery. His closing lines were that beau
tiful quotation:
BE true. my friend. and let who will be
clever.
DO noble things. not dream them all day
long;
