Because Of the general consensus
throughout the Episcopal Church that S.
Andrew s-tide be adopted as a time for
prayer for missions Of the church. and
because OF the request Of the archdea-
conry OF Washington. Bishop Satterlee has
set forth a special form Of prayer and

with a card Of intercession containing the
special objects TO be remembered and
prayed for. The bishop has also for

which Bishop Montgomery has made, and
which are being pOndered by thousands
Of clergy this week. both IN England and

An interesting fact has just become
known concerning Mr.. Robert r. Gardi-
ner. the president OF the Brotherhood OF
st. Andrew in the United States Mr.
Gardiner is so far as we know the only
man in America VINO has in his control a
living in the sense in which that term
is used in the Church Of England 1t ap-
pears that one Of Mr.. Gardeners ancestors
acquired a large tract Of land in Maine
at Gardiner and on his death entailed the
property. making provision that the es-
tate should pay an annual stipend 10 the
rector Of the Episcopal Church at Gardi-
ner. provided that the member Of the
Gardiner family then holding the estate
should name the rector. This is precisely
the arrangement which obtains in hun
dreds Of parishes in England
Two changes are announced among the
clergy which will be o. much interest
Rev. DR.. ". NJ Pettis is not going to
leave us after all but Is settling down,
we are glad to say. as one Of the clergy
Of St Andrews Parish. Rev Dr. Pettis
was rector Of Grace Church, Georgetown.
which charge he resigned a few weeks
ago with the intention of going to St
Louis.
The other change is the appointment Of
Rev. Edward H. Ingle as second assist
ant at Epiphany Parish. Mr.. Ingle. whose
name still appears on the roll of Virginia
clergy. and who has been doing duty as
chaplain at Luzerne in Switzerland, will
now. Of course. be numbered among the
clergy Of Washington diocese. TO most
OF whom he is already well known, and
by whom he is much appreciated.
Il Is not at all commonly known. even
by those most interested In the cathedral
of IS. Peter and Paul. as IL should GER
tainly should be known. that by common
consent Of his profession Mr.. Bodley was
England's foremost ecclesiastical archi-

buildings which he built or planned will

Die of their time. Among these churches,
