I'VE recommend that greater attention

In obedience 70 Tie instructions OF the

ses;ed 70 the councils of other National
Brotherhoods that the rule Of service
should be confocmed to the terms OF the

wards such restatement as may Ultimately
be agreed upon. The Washington bosls
reads: .'The Rule OF Service is 10 make
an earnest effort each week TO bring at
least one young man within the hearing
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
THE only definite reply IS from the Eng
Nsh council which is adverse to the sus-

unwise to make any temporary change In

tension of the cause of the Lord among
men. Bishop Gibson began by expressing
his pleasure al being p rnltted TO adoreS
the Brotherhood men and to welcome them
70 his own home He said he had re-
ceived such cordial greetings i'll other
cities where the annual conventions OF
the brotherhood had been held. that he
regarded it high privilege TO be able TO
return the greeting.
Gut / am before you to-day, BISHOP
Gibson continued, '.for another purpose
1 am to deliver to the great brotherhood
OF St. Andrew a charge. This is a hard
task, and may Gods grace assist me to
its faithful performance. In the first
place I want to say 10 you OF the Broth
erhood. that Richmond is glad to see
YOU: that Virginia is honored in having
YOU within her borders. We know our
people are not all they ought to be. but
they are a Christian people. they be-
lieve in missions and in Sunday-schoois.
Bishop Gibson then went into little
history OF the Episcopal Church IN Nir-
GINA making specially interesting ref
erence to the primitive conoltlons that
prevailed one hundred years ago, wnen
communion services were held at old
St. Johns but three times year lie
pathetically described the burning OF the
old Richmond Theatre. which resulted IN
such a carnage Of blood and tire and
death, and the erection on Its site OF
the much-b loved Monumental Church.
The Bishop declared that great chanse
had been wrought in the Church IN the
past century: that the name OF Jesus
was honored in Virginia; that His teach
ing were accepted in all homes, and that
His person was adored by the people.
CHARACTER OF MEN.
..It is this city, my brethren added
Bishop Gibson, ''that says today these
Brotherhood men are men after our own
hearts; we have much IN common with
them, and we are glad that we can mingle
with them, for it is for our mutual
good
The Bishop dwelt at some length on the

that the Church was beng revived, and
