Late Bishop Hopkins.

Late Bishop Hopkins.
To the Editor of Tie Evening Star:
In the second column, first page, of your
issue of October l find the following:
Rival Claims. Archbishop Lewis of
Canada, who is in the city, claims he was
the originator of the Lambeth conference,
although Bishop Hopkins insists that he
was the prime mover. Secretary Hart of
the house today was unable to throw any
light on the subject but he said he had
heard that the proposition originated in
Canada"
AS two of Bishop Hopkins daughters
and several of his grandchildren are in the
city of Washington at this time 1t seems
to them well that this erroneous state
ment should be corrected. 1t probably
never would have been made in Bishop
Hopkins lifetime. (He died in 1861

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
Topics Discussed at Meeting I'm st.
Johns Church.

The Evangelical Educational Society met
last night in St. Johns Church, Bishop
Whitaker of Pennsylvania presiding.
Bishop Randolph of Virginia. in his ad-
dress, said:
The association opens the doors to the
worthy who desire to enter the Christian
ministry and closes them to the unworthy.
1t elevates the tone of religious thought in
people and through It the old distinction
between mat which is secular and that
which is sacred is passing away, and men
and women are brought closer together in
religious thought From pulpits and by
books congregations are taught that they
are dong Gods calling. Every man who
stands steadfastly at his post of duty dig
niles his position and he is truly a minister
of God.
The association is partly responsible for
raising up ministers to eNtol Christ's king
dom abroad. 1t also aims to enroll the
services of those of every calling. Whether
man is lawyer, a physician. or a mer-
chant, he can teach Christ in his daily
routine of business. A politician can ele-
Vate his calling and benefit his fellow man
by advocating honest and fair measures.
The thing to do is to always serve Christ
IN Your secular calling, no matter what it
may be.
