Bishop William Lawrence in his address
save:
so far as statistics can shaw, it is
doubtful II the church is more than keep
ing pace with the population. The minis
try is not apparently increasing in num-
bers or power. great portion of the
intelligent men and leaders Of our COM
munities have 10 active interest IN the
church. There is a great mass of fine
character and Of Christian temper out
side the church, infdelity, sincere and
insincere, is all about US
more than that. the interest in com
mercial, material, social and intellectual
life is gaining a stronger hold on the
people. The tests of life and among
many are N social and financial success.
Sport and amusement have made great IN
roads on our Sunday congregations. Be
low all these influences are the lower
standards Of taste and the grosser I'M
moralities The power Of strong drink
has its clutch upon our cities. their peo-
pie and government; lust is firmly in
trenched gambling is unsetthng habits OF
industry; many forms of temptations are
undermining the characters Of hosts OF
youth. All these influences are potent
enemies of the Christian faith"
In view of such conditions, the bishop
deprecated the discussion now going on
in diocean conditions where the name Of
the church should be changed.

Victoria, B. c., May 13.-According to
adyices received by the steamer Empress
of India, japanese arsenals were being
worked day and night, provisions were
being concentrated. coal stored on Tspima
Island and on all sides it was evident
that Japan, doubling the extent Of Rus
sia's withdrawal from Manchuria, was
preparing for war.
The Hon. Sidery Fisher, Canadian Min
ister of Agriculture, who was one of the
passengers by the steamer and who had
been in close touch with japanese royal
ty and oficialdom, says the war feeling
in Japan is very strong and warlike prep
arations were in view. The massing of
Russian troops on the banks of the Yalu,
on the pretense that protection is being
accorded to timber concessions, was caus-
Ing strong feeling in Japan, this being
regarded particularly as a menace to
Japan.
The destruction by fire of the powder
factory at Tokiofu has led to sinister

Russia continues making extensive mill
tary preparations. The North China
Daily News reports that there has been
a continuous flow of Russian troops trav
elling by train from Harbin to Port Ar
thur, while other large bodies have been
moving to the eastern borders of Manchu-
ria, camping in the vicinity of the Yalu
River which divides that country from
Corea. The war-like movements are caus-
ing great alarm to Chinese officials and
an unnamed Chinese official is quoted as
saying that the Russians are preparing
for the inevitable struggle with Japan,
day which all Chinese officials believe to
be not far distant.

Building = EsA8
Especial to News and Observer)

Wilmington, n c., May 13,-Morning
and evening sessions and trip to Wrights-
vile Beach on special suburban cars of the
Consolidated Railways Light and Power
Company made up the programme Of exer-
cises for the second days session of the
Grand Lodge of o Hellows here today.
A.>.vlonal representatives and others quail
flied to act as members Of the State body
arrived on nearly every train during the
day, swelling the number in attendance to
more than 200.
The morning session was made notable
in the annals of Odd Fellowship by the
adoption of a resolution providing for the
establishment of home for aged and in
digent members in connection with the
orphanage at Goldsboro The project has
been up in Grand Lodge since 1897, when
it was championed so strongly by Rev
Chas o. Durant and Richard n. Hackett.
A fund of something over $500 was raised
at that time as the nucleus for the estab-
lishment for a home, but succeeding ses-
siOns of the Grand Lodge allowed the mat
ter to drop until the present committee,
consisting of Grand Treasurer Richard J.
Jones, S. H Taylor and T. NJ Stephens.
took the question and reported it favor
ably
The committee recommends that begin
ming with this term for three years a per
capita tax of seven cents per term be lev
led and set aside as the Aged and Indi-
gent Fund" that upon approval Of the
Grand Lodge at its annual meeting in 1906
the fund with the nucleus now in hand be
expended in the erection of a suitable
building on the groat5s Of the Orphanage
Home at Goldsboro; that the building upon
completion open for admission of aged and
INDECENT Odd Fellows and the helpless
wives and widows of such; that a per cap
tia tax be levied each year thereafter for
the maintenance for the institution that
the control and management of same sha II
be vested in the board of trustees of the
Orphanage. and the superintendent OF the
orphanage shall be superintendent ex-of-

gent. agaE Enw
The recommendations were unanimously
adopted, and upon suggestion of DR.. j. A.

the chaplain brought tears to the eyes Of
the members.
Messrs. c. B. Edwards, c. A. Stephens

METHODS OF LORENz
Warm Discussion at Congress
of Physicians and
Surgeons.
CBy the Associated Press,

Washington, May 13.-The methods of
Professor Adolph Lorenz, the Austrian
surgeon, in the treatment of congenital
hip disease and club feet furnished the
feature of general interest at the meet
ings of the American Surgical and Ortho-
pcdic Associations. To the surgical asso-
citation the case of Charles Willett. op-
Grated upon last November by Dr. Lorenz
for club feet, was presented. Although
one of excessive difficulty the operation
was pronounced a perfect success.
No discussion specially condemnatory
of Lorenz's methods was elected, but
some of the more conservative members
Of the association were adverse in their
criticisms The statement was made that
the operation of DR.. Lorenz upon Lolita
Armour, daughter of J. Ogden Armour of
Chicago, to perform which the Austrian
surgeon had come to the United States,
had not proved entirely successful. 1t was
evident from the tone of the discussion
that a majority of the surgeons in at
tendance were supporters of the Lorenz
methods. No action, however was taken.
The storm center of the discussion of
the Lorenz method was at the session of
the American Orthopedic Association, be-
fore which DR.. A. ]. Steele, OF St. Louis,
cited the case Of boy s years old, af-
ficted with hip disease who had been
operated on by the Austrian surgeon and
subsequently, had died Of meningitis He
did not attribute the death directly to
the operation, but warn his colleagues
that the Lorenz methods ought to be en-
rIoyed with great care.
A,1ur1sfYyc XVilccu IF tho TaffaT-
sor Hospital Philadelphia, presented a
report upon % cases abserved in the hos
pital eight of which were operated on by
Dr.. Lorenz Dr. Wilson made defense
of the Lorcnz methods and, as he had
assisted the Austrian surgeon in all the
cases presented, his judgment carried
great weight.
Dr. w NJ. L. Coplin, of Philadelphia.
reported the case of a seven year old girl
who died after DR.. Lorenz had operated
upon her; death, in the view of DR.. Cop
lin, being due to the shock.
Dr. Gwilym G. Davis, of the University
of Pennsylvania. read paper in which
he maintained that the Lorenz methods
were too severe and tnat they had been
accompanied by injuries, paralysis and
death.
DR.. Roswell Parke, of Buffalo, one of
the surgeons who attended the late Presi-
dent Mckinley, did not approve of the
breaking of bone and the impairment of
tissues incident to the operations OF Prof
Lorenz.
DR.. Moore of Minneapolis. thought the
term "bloodless surgery applied to the
Lorenz method was unfortunate, as it
appealed strongly to parents who wished
their children to be cured without the
use of the knife The fact was that a
clean incision would be less bloody than
operation by the Lorenz method.
Thomas D. Coleman, of Augusta, Ca.
was today elected one of the vice -presi-
dents of the American Genealogical So
ciety.
