He Declares.

In the aftermath Of the departure Of
the Brotherhood OF St Andrew, 1t was
announced yesterday that Bishop Ingram.
Of London. who in the past has not
given much support 20 the organization
in England, was greatly pleased with the
gathering here. and had given his as
surance that he will do an IN his power
10 encourage the brotherhood in his own
country.
II has long been the Lord Bishops
opinion that, while America is a fertile
field for such organizations. there Is but
little room for it in the mother church
In England, as there are already many
other organizations which are in some
ways similar But the impression made
on Bishop Ingram and the other Of the
Anglican clergy who visited here. was
most favorable. and they realized for the
first time what the Brotherhood Of ST.
Andrew is doing and what il is capable
Of
Bishop Ingram told some of the officers
of the brotherhood that on his return
home he would give his entire support
10 the organization.
With this encouragement the secretaries
of the brotherhood met IN the red parlor
Of the Ebbitt House yesterday morning
and discussed the future work OF the
organization. The meeting was presided
over by Hubert Carleton, general secre-
tary, who in a brief speech, outlined the
programme Of work for the next year
He summed up what had been accom-
plished thus far. and said that the con-
- af.H-
most successful and the most encOurag-
ing since the foundation Of the brother
hood.
The society in the United States was
found to be in a hourishing condition,
and Il was said that it would be given
an added impetus by the wide publicity
that it had received through the recent
convention. Plans were made for the ex-
tension of the various chapters in all
the States. and each secretary was in
structed to make efforts to obtain
larger representation.
The work was found 20 be progressing
in Canada, after a hard time, but the
brotherhood IN England has not been
all that it might be in the way of num-
bers. With Bishop Ingram's encourage
ment, however, Il is thought that by the
time of the next convention this condi-
ton will be improved
Most Of the delegates left here yester-
day morning for their homes, but
great number took the night boat for
the jamestown Exposition. President

Bishop Ingram lunched at the Chevy
Chase Golf Club yesterday, and took a
turn on the links in company with Chief
