 The members of the Guild of St. Bar nabas for Nurses who are attending the annual council in this city were busy nearly all day yesterday attending meetings and visiting about the city. The reception Monday night at Mrs. George F. Newcomb's house was great 1y enjoyed and was a fitting opening or the council.
 The business session of the council was held in St. PauPs church at $40, following a communion service conduct ed by Bishop Whitehead, pr, Samuel Hart and pr. E. 5. Lines of St. Pauls church Bishop Whitehead of Pitts burg a Yale man of the class of 1865, presided over the council. All who are in attendance in this city were at the meeting.
 Reports of the secretary, treasurer and numerous committees were heard and accepted, and routine business was transacted. Reports showed that the guild is steadily growing and IS now one of the largest of it's kind in the east. Its financial condition is also inn proved since the last meeting, and In every particular the guild is flourish ing.
 There are eighteen branches of the guild, and delegates from the branches located in the following places attend ed the council: Boston. Brooklyn, New York, Pittsburg, Utica, Hartford, Or ange, Washington, New Haven and Fall River.

 Bishop Brewster and Dr. Hart gave brief addresses and the meeting ad- journed about 11:30 o'clock. The mem bers and visitors were entertained in the parish rooms of the church shortly after the meeting, when lunch was served. The ladies of the different churches in the city did the entertain ing. In the afternoon the members of the guild visited the New Haven hospi- tai and were served a light lunch there. The members were shown about the campus and through some of the Yale buildings by Rev. B. s. Lines, clos ing a most entertaining afternoon. Some of the delegates have never had an opportunity of visiting the college buildings and the hospital, and to these the visits were most enjoyable.
 Last evening at 7:30 there was a meeting at St. Paul's church at which Rev. Dr. D. Parker Morgan of New York delivered an interesting sermon. His text was taken from Exodus xxi, 5: q love my Master: I will not go out free" Dr. Morgan said the pass age from which he took his text deals with what are called the judgments" or legal rights" of a slave or bond man. He said many had experienced surprise at the existence of slavery un- der the Mosaic law, but that it must be remembered that the laws of. Moses did not make slavery, 1t found 1t. Slavery is really an universal institution. In the most civilized communities in the world to-day, there is a large class of slaves. We do not indeed call it slav- cry, but it is so nevertheless.
 "You may remember that the Master is said to give to every man his ork. Yes! in his service there is a variety of work-work suited for all conditions of life! The trivial round the common task will furnish all we need to ask. Room to deny ourselves, road to bring us daily nearer God. It is to inspire its members with this spirit of service for the Master and to assist them in real izing the greatness of their calling and in maintaining high standard of Christian life and work that this guild of St. Barnabas for Nurses exists to- day.''
 After the service there was a recep- ton in the parish rooms at which Mrs. E. S. Lines and Mrs. Kidder received. The ushers were B. R. English, James E. Smith, F. S. Weld and W. o. Par dee A light supper was served and a most enjoyable reception was held
 Some of the local clergymen present were Rev. Dr. Baker, Rev. MT. Sco- vile, Rev. MT. Means, Rev. pr. Mor- gan. Rev. MT. Anderson and Rev E. s. Lines There will be a sermon this morning at 9:30 when some unfinished business will come up before the ,coun- cil.
