ISAIAH'S VISION
SUBJECT ADDRESS BY BISHOP
WOODCOCK LAST NIGHT.
Pays Compliment TO Grace Church
and Its Rector--visitors All
Are Pleased.

Isaiahs vision that senthim forth
ON his ministry for God was the sub
ject of Bishop Woodcock's address
last night at the Grace Episcopal
church. That each of us sooner or Ia
ter had vision which revealed our
relation to the truth; that no one
could fall short OF the standard Of
that vision without feeling In him
self that he was a hypocrite; that
reverence for the truth was the d.
vine law and human intuition; that
the irreverence OF today as evidenced
in lax moral conditions was the re-
suit of our not living UP to what we
have plainly seen as the right; were
few of tho principal points Of hls
fine and clear-cut address.
Bishop Woodcock in his sermon
paid a high compliment to the Rev.
David C. Wright and his congrcga-
ton of Grace church, "as parish
where spiritual matters had been
more stressed than financial during
the past year. and yet 1t had proved
the best financial year of the parish
as we'll"
Visitors Pleased.
A special car carried those dele
gates to the Episcopal Council who
were in the city today. to their
homes in Louisville and other parts
of the state When seen at the depot
this morning the delegates all ex-
pressed appreciation Of the care that
had been taken of them while here,
especially by the city traction oou1-
pany, and for Che consideration
shown by the newspapers.
Yesterday afternoons session was
brief and occupied by routine bust
ness. At s p. m the bishop closed
