Diocese of Washington in Session.
bishop Satterlcc the Presiding Of
Papers-EveninE Program.

A convention of the Sunday school work
ers of the diocese of Washington was be-
gun shortly before noon today in the chapel
of the Church of the Epiphany, Rev. DR..
r. H. Mckim, rector.
Previous to the opening of the convention
religious services were held in the church
proper. during which an appropriate SER
mon was delivered by DIR. McKim, followed
by holy communion.
The convention was called to order at
II o'clock by Bishop Satterlee, who made
fve-minute address. during which he
told of Christ's love for children, and de-
plored the neglect Of them in some coun-
tries. He had himself. he said. seen in the
holy land skeletons of children who had
been left by the wayside to die. He urged
his hearers to have a high aim in their
Sunday school work. He felt distressed. he
said. that there were such large number
of persons present, paradoxical as that
seemed to be, because he feared that
where so many were assembled the pres
ence of Christ would not be felt as mucn
as If there were fewer. If. however, all
we're earnest he would feel rejoiced that
he had been disappointed.
