Sermon for the Diocesan Conference.

At Christ church, yesterday morning at o'clock, a communion service was held and at 1030 the sermon for the diocesan conference of the Brotherhood was preached at Christ church by Rev. Edwin s, Lines. Sixty or seventy young men from various parts of Con- necticut were present in the congrega- ton. The text of the sermon was from Nehemiah's account of the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. They which builded on the wall and they that have burdens, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work and with the other held a weapon, etc"
 After speaking of the captivity, the restoration, the great work of Nehe miah as builder, the preacher drew the lesson from Nehemiah's division of the laborers, some to bear arms and keep watch, some to build up the walls. He said that in some such way men are divided in doing the worlds work and that the peace and happiness of men depend largely upon the recogni- ton of the two kinds of workers and the relations between them. The neces- sity of carrying weapons meant for Nehemiah's servants limitation in re- spect to efficiency and working power. So all men have to accept limitations, seeing and planning more than they can do. Men hardly come through the long period of preparation for work, when they begin to feel that power is failing and that limitations must be accepted.
 The two-fold duty required of those who built the wall suggests the two parts of Christian duty required in the Broth erhood of St. Andrew-worship and work, prayer and service. A man must keep himself, care for his own soul, be on his guard against his spiritual foes and he must also do positive, definite work. A man must keep close to God and he must keep close to men. And before a man can do the best work for men he must have been much Tn com munion with God
 The sermon closed with the exhorta- tion to men to keep distinctly in mind the two thoughts of the brotherhood promise-prayer and service. The hope of the brotherhood lies In Keeping these simple duties in their place. The broth erhood is now scattered among all Eng lish-speaking peoples. It has brought out and developed the work of laymen. It has in thousands of parishes associ- ated helpful companies of laymen with the clergy in Christian work Let men guard their own lives and remember their duty towards other men.

 comes alone:

BROTHERHOOD ST. ANDREW

General Discussion of Aims-Extension

 Annual Address Delivered by Rev. Mir.
 Lines.
 The annual conference of the Con- necticut Diocesan union of the Broth erhood of St. Andrew was opened Sat urday evening at St, Paurs parish house at p, m, with one hundred dele gates present, President w. c. Sur giss of this city called the session to order, Reports were made by the treasurer and secretary, showing that the Brotherhood was prospecting, ex- cept in one or two districts. To stimu- late interest and extend the work of the organization a travelling secretary is needed, No definite action was taken, however, on the matter. There are now in the state thirty-five chap ters, three of which were organized during the year. The total member ship is 300, number of Bible classes, six teen.

Last Eyeninr,s Saryice.

At o'clock last evening a conference was addressed by Hon. Rathbone Gard ner of Providence, R. I. The address was an admirable one and made a deep impression on the conference. Mir. Gardner spoke of ,'Mens Duty to the Church" He referred particularly to the sympathy that should exist be- tween the rector of a parish and his laymen. He believed that the clergy man Is apt to lose the masculine point of view from the lack of cooperation with men in parish work women being in the main his coadjutors. The clergyman may be starting out on a wrong course of action. At such a time he ought to feel free to call on his churchmen for kindly advice. It is furthermore the duty of laymen to carry the work of the church to men whom the minister cannot reach-to men in the stress of business life, on the street or elsewhere.
 It is the duty of the laity to formu- late and express the voice of the church on matters of law and state; to protest against unjust social conditions, the liquor traffic and the other problems that vex our economy.
 Rev. R. Fl. Gesner, rector of Christ church. West Haven. was the last speaker. He spoke of the reciprocal relations between the church and it's communicants. He said:
 "The ministration of the church is to be the ministration of Christ; the re- presentation of Christ to mankind We are to minister as Jesus ministered to | the lost. the wearied and the disheart- ened. The church, through the holy sacrament, is to give the strength of Christ to men. It can scarcely become the purpose of the brotherhood to build | churches and hospitals, but personal 1 ministration must ever be its watch- word"
 The officers elected for the ensuing year are: w. c. Sturgis, New Haven, president; M. K. Thomas. Wallingford, secretary; T. D. Russell, New Brit ain, treasurer.
 They, together with the archdeacon- ry secretaries, constitute the executive committee of the dioceson union.
 New Britain was chosen as the place for holding the conference of 1898. l After the conference adjourned MT. l J. W. Wood, the general secretary, | spoke with reference to the first Inter
 national Brotherhood convention at Buffalo. He prophesied an attendance of 1,5OO delegates, gathered from all over the globe.
 The bishop of Rochester will be one of the English prelates in attendance. He will deliver the Berkeley sermon at Trinity church, this city, in October.

The Fifth Session.

The fifth session of the conference was held at St. Pauls church at 2:30 D. m yesterday. About seventy-five delegates were present.
 w. c. Sturgis of New Haven spoke on "Brotherhood Aims" He said in part:
 Before the Brotherhood of St. An drew was formed there was a general spiritual laxity among the laity of the Episcopal church. The men centented themselves with attending church once on Sunday and seldom or never during the week. The rules of the brother hood binds members to support all the services of the church so far as they can.
 "Furthermore, Bible study was far less usual among the Episcopal laity than among the other Protestant de- nominations. This was the principal
