The menu card, designed by George

used by the club. Its cover was of
Manila burlap add the inside sheet, of
dark brown, was tied to the cover with
Irvine, the idea being as a compliment
TO Bishop Henry q. Potter, who re-
gently returned from Manila, and who
was expected to attend the dinner. But

me sent his regrets. He may be here at
isometime in the near future.

At the conclusion Of the menu, Bishop

appropriate opening remarks by MIR

AS TO the subject for the evening
Bishop Coleman drew attention to til
early history of the municipality, whe
the clergy largely controlled it. tn
meaning of the term is the organization
,of men for the welfare of the individus
chuyehmen should be deeply interests
act for the good of all. In the peginnin
of municipalities in this country tn
Infusion of churchmanship was pal
of the royal cnarter. Two-thirds of ii
signerA of the Declaration of IndepenC
snce and of the Constitution wei
chutohmen. 1t was Henry Clay WI
said that in two things he felt sure
the perpetuity Of the republic, in Il
Episcopal Church, and in the Supren
Court OF the United States.
1t Is just as necessary, said the bi
hop, to have the municipality clean
il Is to have tina church and the fami
clean We are ever to remember th
the standard of public life will never
diyidual lives which make up the cor
munIty. A ohurchma should determil
what things belong to God and VIII
belong to Cesar Unfortunately mode
Interpretation of that text might b
Render unto Cesar the things th
are CAESARS and uuto God the thin
that Caesar don't care to have.
1t il futile for ohurchmen to
aroused at the last moment, when tn

how he aud another man attended

list OF nominees, and after that prima
elections were held on time.
NJ The bishop expressed the hope I'll
citizens would have more enthusiast
for truth and less for selfishness, q
work for the commonwealth. He 81
kested the ancient oath as good for m
Of the present day, that when they {
they leave their fatherland not less tn
but more than when they found it. 7
sentiment was warmly applauded
Hon. David I. Marvel was the M
speaker He said in part:
Profound thinkers have long sir
stated that the most severe test OF I
ability of the people to govern the
