This fact was impressed upon the
bishop and the settlement workers in a
startling way one morning. Perhaps NJ
one incident that winter shows more
plainly how much Of a momentum had
already grown ont of the movement Of
Nazareth Avenue church and the action
of Dr. Bruce and the bishop that fol-
lowed the pledge to do as Jesus would do.
The breakfast hour at the settlement
was the one hour in the day when the
whole resident family found a little
breathing space to fellowship together
1t was an hour Of relaxation There
was a great deal of good natured re-
partee and much real wit and enjoyable
fun at this hour The bishop told his
best stories DR.. Bruce was at his best
in anecdote. This company Of disciples
was healthily humorous III spite of the
atmosphere of sorrow that constantly
surrounded them In fact, the bishop
often said that the faculty Of humor
was as God given, as any other, and in
bis own case it was the only safety
valve he had for the tremendous press
