getting acquainted, and there was a
busy hum of conversation in the corri-
dor as men renewed acquaintance or
met men whom they had long desired
to know. The general reception was
held in the corridor, but through the
parlors were little groups of men en-
gagged in animated conversation. In
one of these partlors Bishop Whipple
was the center of distinguished
group, as he received the greetings and
well wishes of his friends. With him
were Bishop Gilbert, Judge Nelson,
Hon. J.. F. Norrish Hastings, vice
president; Frank o. Osborne, st. Paul
secretary, and E. H. Holbrook, Min
neapolis, treasurer of the Church club.
At one time Bishops WhippIe and Gil
bert were the center of a group of
business men as prominent in the fin
ancial world as the two Minnesota
churchmen are in the religious, and
among these were James ]. Hill, Col.
Clough and others. During the re-
ception Kleist's mandolin orchestra
played a pretty programme.

JUDGE NELSON'S WELCOME.
When the cigars had gone around
| Judge Nelson arose and raped for
order, and in 9. very happy speech well
coined the guests of the evening. In
his speech he paid a high tribute to
| the beauty and diction of the Prtyer
| Book, which Lord McCauley, he o.
| clared, had formed the diction of
| every English writer of any promi-
| nence in the language" He spoke OF
| the efficacy of a good dinner in the
| settlement of even doctrfnal questions
and not infrequently settI( over can
| Vassed back ducks and well-baSted
| prairie chickens "And so 10 you one
and all a hearty welcome" said the
| judge. 'I now have the pleasure of in
| PRODUCING the distinguished bishop OF
| New York, Henry c. Potter, who is
far-famed as one of the ablest church
speakers in America, who will respond
to the toast, 1.-THE Church in the East"
BISHOP POTTER'S ADDRESS.
Bishop Potter made the most humor-
Gus address of the occasion, relating a
number of extremely witty stories that
kept the house in a roar of laughter.
He began by saying:
81 had hoped that the chairman and
president of this club would make it
plain to you that when / was assigned
to speak on this occasion it was in de-
fiance of my own wishes. l found in
Minneapolis bishop from Maine, and
I think he is the one who should speak
on this question, or If not he, then
the bishop from Cairo. When anybody
starts for the East with an empty
pocketbook, of course we all know he
Is heading for New York. Qaughter.)
A clergyman entered the office of one
of our wealthy men of New York one
Qay ana asked MIN IOT Il SUBSCRIPTION
to some church affair. Sir. l will pro-
ceed to give you one down. said the
financier after some little debate over
the matter. The clergyman walked
over, sat down at the desk and began
writing.
What are you doing?' asked the
financier.
u am putting down your subscrip-
tion.' Gaughter.>
"The result was that the financier
had to give $1,000 to have him take off
the subscription. When the clergyman
returned to the bishop and handed him
the 81, 200, the bishop said; Good boy,
I shall send you again..
''I have been asked to say q word for
the church club. Surely you need no
comment from me as to the benefits of
occasions such as this We go home
with but one complaint, and that is in
attempting to Introduce us to the peo
pie by means of photographs. The re-
suit has not always been f1attering to
the subject"
