1t is Rev. w: D. P. Bliss, and he comes un-
der the auspices of the Brotherhood OF St:
Andrew. =:
The reverend gentleman is highly rec.
omimended as lecturer on the subject TO
which he devotes his attention, as is evil
denced not only by complimentary no.
tfces in the religious press, but references
from such church authorities as Bishop
Huntington of Central New York, Bishop
Potter of the diocese OF New York, Rich
ard T. Ely of the University of Wiscon-

Mr.. Bliss has evidently made life-long
st udy of the literature of his faVorite
theme. This knowledge manifests itself
in his volume entitled "a Hand book OF
Socialism" He is considered by DR.. New
ton the greatest exponent of the principle
|. of Christian socialism in the country.
at present Mr.. Bliss is clergyman of
the Protestant Episcopal church. His
/ travels, both in America and on the Con-
tinent, have been varied and extensive.
He will be heard for the first time in
/ this City at st. Luke's Protestant Episco-
| pal Church, corner of Van Ness avenue
and Clay street, tomorrow morning at IL
O'Clock. During his stay his headquarters
| will be the Occidental Hotel. Speaking
of the distinguished visitor, Dr.. Moreland
rector of st. Luke's, said:
bliss is a man who deals wholly with
the social side of Christianity. His labors
to assist the rich and the poor TO nnder-
stand each other have been vast, and. I
may add, fruitful.
Though born of missionary parents in
Constantinople, he comes of ankee stock.
/ In.his travels. he has crossed. the ocean
thirteen times.
I '''He has become deeply convinced that
q. new social order is needed and that CO.
| operation has come to take the place of
com petition. This he is advocating along
purely Christian lines.
'"Some time this month, he.will return
! East by way. o. Salt Lake City, Denver,
/ Omaha and Kansas City, and at all these
places will probably deliver series of lee
lures: The times and places of lectures
are under the direction of the Church So
cial Union.
81 might add that the origin of the
Christian socialist movement is largely
due to Mr.. Bliss. For a long time he has
been prominently identified with labor
reform movements during the course of
which he edited the Dawn and then the
American Fabian. Both these are edited
in favor of educational and institutional
Christian socialism"
