which was given while the Bishop
was in Egypt But he was mindful of
us and sent his congratulations" r.
marked Mr. Hatton. Reference to the
interest taken by the late Bishop in
the club prompted Mr.. Miller to cali
on the Rev. Mr. Hamm for few
remarks Of eulogy. Replying, Mr.
Hammond paid a high compliment to
the sterling Christian character of the
late prelate. "The watchwords OF
his life were love and duty. Let us
honor his memory by showing 10 the
church he loved our love and our
duty" Mr.. Hammond said.
To Draft Resolutions.
Following Mr.. Hammond's eulogy
Charles NJ Curtis offered
resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee of three
to draft suitable resolutions on the
death of the Bishop. "He loved the
club and never lost an opportunity to
meet face to face with the men of his
diocese. He was our leader and it
is only fitting that our minutes should
record the great loss his death has
caused" Mr.. Curtis said. The speaker,
d. M. Bates and Lausatt Rogers were
appointed the committee.
Charles b. Dubell of the New Jersey
diocese. then informed the club that
Episcopalians of that State are sub
scribing money for a Bishop Coleman
memorial chancel to be placed in the
church at Pittman Grove Mr.. Dubell,
said it was in the Episcopal Church
at Mullica HILL New Jersey, that the
late Bishop read the liturgy of the
church for the first time, and it was
for this reason that Episcopalians Of
the State have decided to honor h's
memory. In closing Mr. Dubell VINO
as former Wilmingtonian had come
to know the Bishop intimately. eN-
pressed personal sorrow because of his
death.
Then the club briefly considered a
proposition looking to an extension Of
the usefulness of the organization. II
is the idea to have a church club home
where the members can meet one anoth D.
er more frequently, and out of which
nome greater influences for good might
eminate. Up until this time the chief
function of the organization has beeh
to eat, was the remark of one mem
Der who discussed the subject. A mo-
tion that a committee of twelve be ap-
pointed by the president to report on
the proposition at the next meeting
was carried unanimously.
Rector Discusses Future Of Church.
Then Mr. Miller introduced the Rev.
Mr. Mitchell as one of the speakers OF
the evening. The clergymen referred
to the present as a time Of great ac-
tivity and energy in all walks of life.
"The church has begun to feel thu
push and the strain of the forces that
are working in the world around us
The church is like a net sunk in the
sea. It feels the pulse Of the sea about
it and as IL is also a net in the sea OF
life we ought to expect it to feel the
activity and strain of modern condl-
tons"
Mr. Mitchell then remarked that the
church on earth was never intended
to remain STILL" continuing he said:
Man is not here for rest life is a
struggle. The church has been in tUr-
moil since its earliest days. The
church at peace with the world is a
dead church. If we are to grow we
must expect unrest and must expect

necessity.
"To bring peace some say we ought
to have more authority What we
lneed is love for the church Then there
will be few differences about the
clergy, the canons or the prayer book
| I have no fear of the ultimate success
of our church. She is too well ground
ed What we need is less complaining
less criticism, more intelligent think
! ing and more enthusiastic doing to
make good our talking.
"Have no fear Of the safety of that
net Of the Kingdom of God which is
cast down in the sea Of life. The cur
