II. IT. Blogg of New Haven, said that
the Protestant Episcopal church in this
state would flourish because it was old
and Well-established and fashionable
But except for the Brotherhood the
church would not flourish In the west.

here. More earnest, personal work Is
needed in the spiritual line. The sub

lived UP to the rule of service. He

kept alive by one man. He went to
Waterbury and the Meriden chapter
died.
