cred in conference at st. Paul, among
them was a certain we'll known colonel
from Philadelphia of high church pro-
ciivities and ritualistiC tendencies. III
a speech he said:
"On coming ont west l have seen some
heights which it makes even me dizzS
to climb"
The national convention Of the Brother
hood of st Andrew is assembled in rs
lWeuty-third session at the base OF one
of those dizzy heights" and yet nothing
startling in services has been eXperlenced.
Whatever their views, the people OF the
west dwell very tremendously

hundred mon and boys. The boys are

Pittsburg was elected permanent chair
man.
The general conference upon THE Chap
ter in the Parish was conducted by Mr..
Gardiner. president of the brotherhood'
Mr. English and G. Frank Shelby. New
York district secretary. The point of
importance and insiStence was that ac-
tivity in brotherhood in direct ratio

in the parish so he was a live and active
worker in the brotherhood.
Bishop Woodcock's Address.
At the Pabst Theater. in the monday

manner which draws and charms. differ
entiated faith from belief. demonstrating
that all the relations OF life. man with

the Brotherhood" and James l.. Hough-
telling. the founder. upon The Method of
ST. Andrew" have been much the best
thus far. Mr.. Powell is a young man.
but he is deeply imbued with love for his
fellows. The cruX of his speech was the
hungriness of man for the love of his
fellow man. and that love should be given
in full measure: that each should realize
that his fellow man has like feelings
with himself and has the same desire and
yearning for the love and sympathy of
his brother men.
Mr.. Houghtelng narrated the simple.
Straightforward method of ST Andrew in
dealing with the several situations given
in the Bible in which he figured and
urged that the brotherhood man of today
should pattern therefrom and act simply
and directly in the work or the brother
hood.
