The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-29

older days, when Rome did not rule
Bishop Gilbert referred in a facetious
vein, to the honor conferred upon him
in placing him on four important COM
mittees, and thereby depriving him Of
the briefest opportunity CT fishing or
hunting. The English church, Gishop
Gilbert thought, was more benefited
by the conference than were the Ameri-
can or colonial churches. New blood
was injected, and welcomed by the
English bishops.
Bishop Gilbert told of his visit to
ireland and of the condition of the
church there Roman Catholicism was
almost enthroned there, but he believed
that the Church of Ireland was more
strongly installed there today than it
had been at any time since it's dis
establishment
Bishop Gilbert spoke enthusiastically
of the home life in England. That
home life was anchored to its religious
principles and therefore the nation
could not degenerate
Rev. Charles Andrews, of Christ
church, who attended the conference
as the coadjutor bishops chaplain, re-
lated some interesting observations he
had made in England. He was i'm
pressed with the morality of the Eng
llsh people, and maryelled at the little
profanity he had heard in London.
Rev. H. P. Nichols, of ST. Marks
church, Minneapolis, made a brief and
felicitous speech and then Judge Mel
son introduced Justice Brewer, of the
United States supreme court, ''whe,"
he said, lis a Congrega tionalist, but
the church is open to all SUCH
Justice Brewer admitted that he was
Congfegationalist, but declared that
his sentiments regarding the Apostolic
succession were like those of the wom-
an, who, when Bishop Potter asked
her what she thought of it, answered:
I've got nothin' agin' it." Here Justice
Brewer paid an eloquent tribute 10
Bishops Whipple and Gilbert.
justice Brewer expressed his appro-
val of what Bishop Whipple had said
OF Christian unity. He was convinced
that there was a rapid tendency in that
direction, and that the nineteenth CEN
tury would pass into the history of
ChFISt's church as one of denonlina-
tional warfare, butter and severe. But
that spirit was dying out in these later
days of the century, and the twentieth
century would be known as one of
continue to exist, but like the clothes
man wears, they would form no part
of his life
Justice Brewer concluded with a face
tious reference to Judge Nelson, who,
he said had violated his promise not
to call on him for a speech
I'll wait said Justice Brewer, Gun
til [ have him on the hip, and then,
like Shylock, TIL feed fat the ancient
grudge I bear him.
