him claim all that was pure, all that was
beautiful, for the Christ in whose name
he came. That, he said, is the call of the
church to-day. The Bishop declared that
he might point out in young men, if re-
ports We're true, much that was not fair
and beautiful, much of wrongheadedness
and wrongheartedness. But the average
man does not need To be told that he ought
TO live 4 better life than he does. What
he needs TO be told is that he can live d
better life, how TO live it. and where to
get help to live it, To deliver this mes

and said the older men Of the Brotherhood
should welcome to their aid the younger
men of it. The latter might make mis-

their faults and not let them or their con-

field by the Lord. He declared that the
battle was on ana that the tine had come
when there should be no hypocrites or
