FIRST NOON MEETING
Rev. Percy Weber Conducts Service at
st. Marks Procathedral,

An audience nearly equally divided
as to men and women greeted Rev.
Percy G. Weber today at the first
monday meeting at st. Marks pro-
cathedral. Bishop Samuel G. Edsall
conducted the service, which was ex-
tremely brief and simple in its char
acter.
Mr. Weber announced that he would
be in the vestry daily from 1880 to. I
pm. to give an opportunity to any who
wished to see him personally.
The address today concerned man s
attitude toward his brother and the
preparation for brotherly, Christian
service. The main thought was sug
gested by newspaper reference to me1
who had to work at $35 month, day
in and day out, with no Sabbath, a cir
cumstance which comes from a wrong
attitude Of man to his fellow. 81
He would ask the question, "How

that shall leaven the whole lump said

brother.'
