tribute TO the women of ST. Alichaeis
n Hospital who had labored so hard to
] provide the dinner with a view Of aid
ing the hospital work.
The bishop said that the layman
9 should not conhne himself entirely TO
matters referring directly to his own
parish. He should consider that it was
his duty to assist i'm the great work OF
the diocese made up OF the many par
lshes The help extended by the lay
men must not be confined to the par
ish. and the bishop called attention TO
the fact that fund OF $4,000 should
j be provided for the disabled clergy.
] Duty to Parish.
, The Rev. John b. Harding, of Frank

d Laymans Duty to His Parish"
r The speaker proceeded TO point out
the duty OF the layman to his parish
= and il was along the line OF loyalty TO
- 81. e.. I,. .aI.r nd l.xr
the fixing of a standard as between
the rector and the layman. To love
: your parish is the germ Of parish life"
D, Inc said. And he said much else in the
same line. all OF which was direct and
TO the point, and his sentiments We're
frequently applauded
Woodruff on Arbitration.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, OF Phila-
delphia, spoke Of international Arbi-
Df ,ration as a Manifestation OF Chris
,r tianity" He reviewed briefly the
, changed conditions OF men and ma
lions, and pointed to the fact that just
as disputes between men are no longer
settled by force Of arms, just so is it
. becoming to be in respect to the set
. tlement OF disputes between nations.
y The growth was toward a better ap-
il probation Of the duty that nations owe
to each other and he noted the fact
that il was during the nineteenth CEN
tury that the principle of international
arbitration really began to grow. Dur
ing that century two hundred internal
Z tional disputes were settled by arbitra-
N ton, and Of the whole number fifty
v were those raised by the United States
& and fifty by England. There is now,
he said, no longer a feeling of indiffer-
NJ ence in respect to international arbi-
II tration, and what was once looked
upon as a mere dream has become a
fact There is no longer a resort to
arms on the slightest provocation, but
arbitration has come to be recognized
as the rational way of settling disputes.
He referred to the establishment of the
international court of arbitration at
The Hague and applauded it's creation
IN He said that it took nearly two thou
To- sand years TO bring about a recogni-
nd tion of the Golden Rule by the nations
ul' Of the world but the outlook was in
De- deed bright. The court at The Hague
al was a manifestation of Christianity.
r1 THE Iayman's Duty to the state
on was the subject of the toast of the
rly Rev Norman " p. Lewis. of Philadel-
ith phia. He said that religion must not
,al be confined to church work alone but
rt- as applied to mans intercourse with
Ter man. Every man. he held. should have
an a vocation. and il is the layman's duty
tlv to be manfully-humble unselhsh and
nd kind.
The toast "The Layman's Duty tc
His Neighbor" was responded to b,
M Archdeacon Richard P. Williams Of
-, washington, ID. C. He said "rhs
~ neighbor is not the man who lives nexi
door. but every man. He referred Il
the fact that in demanding cheapnes'
~ i'm the matter OF what the people buy
-, there was forgetfulness OF the wages
