unappreciated was evidenced by the ap-
plause which greeted the conclusion OF
his speech; applause which was scarcely
diminished when the Bishop 'of Wash
his welcome 70 that already expressed.
Welcome BIZ Bishop satterlee.
Bishop Satterlee welcomed The broth
erhood in the name OF the Episcopalians
Of Washington. He said that as much
as he pitled the man without a coun-
try. much more did he pity the man
without Christianity, and said that the
Brotherhood Of St Andrew was seeking
TO furnish Christianity to all who de-
sired it. He dwelt on the necessity for
self-sacrifce, and said that sacrifice
meant love, without which no man was
happy.
The bishop then gave place to Rev.
Samuel H. Greene, pastor of the Calvary
Baptist Church, who on behalf OF the
Baptist Brotherhood welcomed the or
sanization, and said shat in such con-
venticns all else should be forgotten
save the "Crucifcd."

The National Capital is proud 10 well
come you, and I am proud 70 offer its
welcome All Americans must feel at

other lands viii be made 10 feel at home.
Not only the executive government. but
the best citizenship Of the District OF
Columbia welcomes you and expects from
you instruction and inspiration far great
ct in value than anything our hospitality
can give.
Lauds Its Purpose.
MANY conventions come here. It IS
the most appropriate place for national
and International gatherings. All Of them
have laudable and important purposes,
but none can be so laudable or SO i'm
portant as yours the spread Of Christ's
Kingdom among men For this contains
the hope Of the world. The pet word Of
our time seems TO be 'problem;' the pet
phrase. the solution of the problem.
They are almost hackneyed. But what
they represent. the questions OF the hu-
man spirit as It looks upon It's relations,
these are ever present in all ages"
Responses to the speeches Of welcome
were made by G. A. King, OF England,
who urged cooperation, and by Bishop
Nuttau, who said in part:
Il viii speak plainly Of my feelings and
convictions during the horrible CatastrO-
phe which visited the island Of Jamaica.
I knew perfectly we'll what the American
admiral and American ships came 10 our
island for. They came to express the
sense of sympathy which beat In the
hearts Of every American, and TO do
what might be needed for our succor, and
10 give that assistance which was tend
cred TO Us and not accepted.
Lost sixty Churches,
over and above all the losses to our
islands. I sustained the loss Of over
sixty churches and buildings Since the
earthquake. I have been living in
coach house, and I have hopes soon Of
being promoted 10 a stable Little harm
can come from being stripped of COM
Portable things.
Il am living in the hope that this
viii do much to break down
the division between man and man, and
that the trouble between nations which
arises from misunderstanding will be
made less frequent through the 'lnstTu-
mentality Of such organizations as this.
y. FarraT Davidson made the response
for Canada. and made a respectful ref

Gently. He said that the brotherhood
In Canada was In a hourishing condition,
and that it would be heart and soul with
