that many of the colleges in the coun-
 try look to Yale for inspiration. He
 paid a splendid compliment to the uni
 Versity for the meritorous work which
 it is doing
 He then said that his topic was a diff l ficult one He related at some length numerous personal experiences which i aptly illustrated what the modern ' preacher should not be- But the rector | that is always needed the one who
 has laid aside all personal ambitions, and one who pays particular attention to the building up of the character of his people. He said that he feared the churches would sooner or later suffer, as some of the colleges are now, and that is of organization. There are so many clubs and other organizations
 that the studies are taken on as a sec
 ondary matter. This should not be, but
 we should put the first thing first
 The rector of to-day should be one
 who moves about among the members
 of his parish with sympathetic helpful
 ness and helps to build up the hearts
 and hopes of his people. This is duty,
 and it should be to him his loving task.
 
 The second speaker was the newly
 elected bishop to the Philippines the
 Rt Rev. Charles H. Brent of Boston,
 who is to leave soon to take up the
 work in our new fields. He said that
 this appointment of a bishop to the
 Philippines was largely a layman's
 work
 Captain Alfred T. Mahan of New
 York was the next speaker He spoke on the topic National Work in All It's Aspects" He said that the individual Christian character of the men of to- day was one of tn most potent forces in the life of to-day and the culminat- ing feat ure in the public questions of | the day. Church clubs have a relation | and they might assist in the building | up of the individual Christian charac- ter by force of close personal relation l ship, He urged the carrying out of | more of the military spirit among the | workers for the church and that we should carry it into our daily life and | work, thereby the better enabling us to put up a good fight, We should carry some of the aggressive spirit that char acterizes the men of our military com panies. There is a lack of fire in our Christian work, It is hard sometimes to tell whether we are fighting the bat tie of God as we would carry on war fare or as we would conduct funeral. The cross of Christ is an emblem of warfare and suffering. We are too much given to look upon the Christian life as a subdued one We should en- I I, | .ude and not the weakly one which pre- yalls in our Christian community.
 The Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, the leXt speaker, was assigned to speak on he topic of ''The Pulpit and Manhood" put he changed it and spoke at some ength on the College and Church" He related the many phases in which Yale university is brought in close ouch with the Episcopal church to-day ven though 1t is a Congregational in- titution and most of the members of he corporation are Congregational ,, lergymen. He gave number of illus ratiOns of this important fact by nam ng the percentage of men in Yale who re EplscOpalians and also of the nu- |, nerous prominent clergymen in many :, arts of the world who are graduates f Yale and yet preaching in Episcopal ! hurches.
 The last appointed speaker for the I vening was Hon. Robert Treat Paine Boston, who was to speak on the 1pic "A Vision of the Church's Flu Ire Success" He said that he would | lange this and talk ahout team work. Q e said that there was nothing to be p aimed by an athletic team by indt- - dual work but that organized team c ork was absolutely necessary to gain @ le desired victory. He said that this r as the condition of affairs in the -a lurch work and that there was crying ? eed for cooperation and self-sacri- II e. This spirit is becoming more and u ore thoroughly apprecited in all con- h ereial life throughout the world and p was necessary that the church should II cognize the need and follow it. The It lurch has lessons to learn from the he, There must also be reconcilia- IT on of the individual and then and then oi fly can success be attained. He said H
