parish and the baccalaureate Sun
day of the graduating class OF Brownell
hall. The cathedral was full to overflow
ing. many people having to give up get
ting even standing room. The center pewr,
some twenty back. were reserved for the
graduates. When they marched in in their
white gowns and caps, preceded by the
members OF the under classes, all in their
white dresses and little black velvet head
pieces, the effect was undescribably dignt-
fed and lovely. The cathedral itself now
10 so beautiful that 1t makes a rare and
fitting setting for any ceremonial. Every
detail OF this particular one was carried
to perfection. Apart from the actual serv-
ice the depender upon artistic atmosphere
found a restful and absorbing Joy. The
music was such as l have not heard in
the cathedral for many moons. Mr.. STAN
ley deserves a crown for getting II back
where II used to be in the old days. If he
would always take the conscientious pains
which he did last Sunday, none Of the
miserable sinners who go to church mostly
for the gladness of the music would ever
be absent. The singing of the "old quar-
tette," which for so many years kept the
standard at Trinity a hard one to rival
was full of the old time sweetness, and
brought tears to many eyes. Memories
stirred, and vistas long faded rose again
Mrs. Kountze said afterward, and her
voice was sorrowful, I'm afraid II is the
lest time Wen ever get together" Nj.
wilkins is the only one still at his post
Miss Bishop is now the contralto in the
Presbyterian choir: Mr.. Lumbard claims
Chicago as his home.
Mr.. Gastaf HolnQuist sang the offertory
solo, 1T is Enough" What a glorious voice
he has He uses Il with vonsummate art.
To students of singing that one song was
worth as an object lesson more than 70
weeks work In a studio. 1t was a liberal
education. The exquisite sweetness, bound
with a magic thread to strength and
sorority. Mr. Holmquist Is a man TO
watch and pattern after.
Dear Bishop Garrett put the crowning
touch upon the morning. Tall and straight
and silver haired-a true soldier OF the
Lord. He preached a scholarly sermon
upon the development of education. When
God L oks down from heaven and sees a
man like Bishop Garrett gcing about doing
his work, he must feel that his kingdom
is surely coming. The man has such
glorious breadth. / don't believe he would
ever cast an earnest worker into outer
darkness because he denied the virgin birth.
Most likely he'd tell him to go to sleep
O. nights and store up strength to minister
TO the crippled and the wretched and the
remorseful Of his own time and baillwiclV.
I remember so well now l was told that
I must believe in the apostolic succession
before l could Join the Episcopal church.
Three different classes went through
one in Stamford. one in New York and
one here-neveT could finish with the others
because this tenet stared me In the face
At last after about fifteen years / said to
myself II believe God would like to have
me in his church upon earth. even IL j
can't say yes TO all the doctrines" so one
beautiful summer afternoon about o'clock
when the sunshine was pouring through
the stained glass windows. Bishop Mills
paugh Of Kansas confirmed me all by my,

me no questions
