THE BISHOP OF QUEBEC
IN ST. THOMAS PULPIT
Every Mans Vocation Should Prepare
Him for Higher Work, He Says.

Right Rev. A. Hunter Dunn. D. D.,
Bishop of Quebec. preached the morn
ing service yesterday IN st. Thomas
Protestant Episcopal Church, in honor
Of the feast day of ST. Luke.
Bishop Dunn took his text from Colos-
slams IVA. The various life occupations
Of the apostles had fitted them for their
evangelization of the world. he said. and
pointed out that while Christ selected
many Of his intimate followers from the
ranks OF the ignorant and uneducated
he did not hesitate TO avail himself Of
the talents Of men Of high eduatiOn.
AS It was then, so IL is now. declared
the bishop, and no matter what a mans
vocation may be he should use his op-
portunities and abilities as preparation
for still higher work.
Bishop Dunn drew attention TO the
rapid spread of the English language
and the inhuene OF English-speaking
people. The spread Of the language had
placed the Anglican church in a unique
position, he said. affording II excep-
tioinal opportunities for good. This had
placed a great responsibility upon the
members of the church which Bishop
Dunn urged the congregation TO bear
well in mind.

ADDRESS
BY BISHOP OF MAINE.
DR.. Goldman Speaks at st. Marks on
Lesson of Suffering.

Through suffering. we may learn TO
serve God best and we should rejoice,
because through 1t we are brought near TO
Him." These thoughts were expressed at
St. Marks Episcopal Church last night
D.. bishop OF Maine, one OF the most
eloquent prelates attending the Pan
American convention Of the bishops of
text was St. John iV:2. Jesus said unto
her, woman what have i TO do with
thee? Mine hour is not yet come
The Words said the bishop, in
spite Of all attempts TO explain them,
were startling. They conveyed a rebuke,
the difference between her son and her
God.
1T was a warning 70 her Of the i'm
pending separation when lie must give
himself to His mission and sever the
tender family relations of his early
youth. There is no record in the Bible
of the Son Of God addressing the virgin
mother Even at the foot OF the
cross. when the agOnized mother knelt
a his bleeding feet, with sword OF
sorrow piercing her maternal heart. he
addressed her as woman and gave her
10 the keeping Of another son that the
contamination should be accomplished.
The condolences and communion be-
tween mother and son, creature and
God. in those quiet days Of His child
for the coming separation As these
gifts were given her, so also are they
poured down upon us. We never know
what may come to US. We must submit
our wills to His will and by frequent
communions and constant prayer
strengthen ourselves to support what
ever temptations and sufferings may be-
fail US"

Far More Important Than Erec-
tion Of Edifce.

An addition 20 the northeast corner of
the close Of the cathedral of SITS. Peter
and Paul has been made. The pur-
chase OF this property practically com
pletes the rectangle. The cathedral close

and forty acres.
Architectural plans for the cathedral

Bishop Satterlee says the time for con-
sideration Of such plans is still far
away.
Il place the cathedral work before
the actual construction Of the cathed-
rail- said the bishop. Until this work
is firmly established. the work on the
cathedral will not be begun. In the
meantime. we have the open air ser
vices. the small chapel in the close. and
the girls school"
The erection Of the boys school. for
which special bequest was made by
the late Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston. will
not be begun for some time
Bishop Satterlee has been Informed
that delay in the work of makingg the
baptismal font in Italy will prevent its
completion in time for the coming Pan
American conference of bishops here.
The new font will be Of marble. and will
be large enough for total Immersion.

CALVINISM IN ACCORD
WITH IDEA OF HEREDITY
DR.. Radcliffe's Second Discourse on the
Teachings of John Calvin.

The second Of a series Of sermons on
John Calvin was delivered last evening
at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church by the Rev. DR.. Wallace Rad
cliffe Dr. Radcline's theme was "Cal-
vinism as distinguished from Fatalism."
Calvin was in the habit Of closing his
sermons in the Genevan Cathedral"
said the pastor, with the Pauline cry,
If God be for US. who can be against
us?' God. absolute. sovereign, omnipo-
tent-this was the dominant idea In the
man, the life, and the system.
"Au is not CaIvinism that IS called
Calvinism. 1t does not mean every re-
Hgious sentiment he uttered, nor the de-
tails of unessential features Of mis- sys-
TEN, nor the system itself a he an
nounced it, certainly not the distorted.
exaggerated, and one-sided views of the
unthinking 1t might well pay some
times 10 be delivered from it's friends.
1T is not fatalism. 1t does not separate
effect from cause. 1t does not doom any
man 20 hxity and caste. 1t does not en-
slave the human will. 1t does not de-
stroy human responsibility. 1t does not
retard intellectual progress. IL teaches
the REORGANIZATION of all events inclu-
sive Of second cause and personal free
dom. 1t is not theoretical, but practi-
cal.
1t Is in accord with the last true word
OF science concerning evolution and
heredity. 1t declares that II man pro-
poses. God dispOses. 1t deifies God. II
humanizes man. II asks questions II
Acknowledges mystery. II proclaims
emancipation. 1t fights for liberty. 1t
Is the supreme comprehensive force Of
oil true evangelism. All men are Cal
yinists on their knees"

SEEKS HISTRIoNIC FAME

LONDON, Oct. 19-Attentively con-
sidering an allur!ng offer from America.
the Marquis of Anglesey. Britain 8
stage-struck peer. IS Of two minds
whether or not to yield 10 the blandish-
ments Of prospective histrionic fame
and sell his accomplishments for the
delight of the public
An American theatrical manager
thinks that he can make a fortune from
the marquis art. Money does not ap-
peal TO AnRlesey, because he has plenty
Of II. but the prospect of appearing pro-
fessionally behind the footlights is said
by his friends to be very attractive.
Supported Entire Company.
Anglesey's passion for acting has
made him famous and subjected him TO
a high degree of criticism from those
who view with disapproval his antics.
He has several hundred thousand
pounds invested in costumes and jew
elry. He is wont 20 load himself with
gems when he participates in elaborate
representations in his private playhouse
on his estate.
one Of his most ambitious produc-
lions was that Of Aladdin and His
Wonderful Lamp" To aid him he en-
ployed a complete company OF excellent
actors, and fed and lodged them at
Anglesey Castle for weeks.
Wore Costume of Diamonds.
In the final scene the marquis wore a
costume composed almost entirely OF
diamonds. He sings well and his act
ing is admitted to be not bad. even by
those who deprecate his fad.
Not long ago the marquis was robbed
by his valet of 100000 worth of Jewels.
British theatrical managers have for a
long time sought to get the marquis
name on a contract

DR.. R0BINSON'S SERMON
ON PERSECUTION OF PAUL

The Rev. Robb B. Robinson, of Alex
andria. Va, preached a special sermon
at the II o'clock services in Miles Ne
mortal Church, Third and L Streets
northwest, yesterday.
He said in part:
THE Jews charged the Apostle Paul
with high crimes. and they employed
Tertullius, an orator, TO bring accusa-
tons against him before Felix the gov
ernor. Tertulius flattered Felix and
abused Paul; but produced no proof Of
guilt in the holy apostle. The answer of
Paul was manly. correct, and cOnvinc-
ing. He had nothing to fear. His conduct
had been pious and circumspect; for he
had exercised himself TO love always
conscience void Of offense both toward
God and man"

the President TO a close guard around
him.
The President was accompanied 10
