OF young men into an organization which
he called the st. Andrews Brotherhood,
the purpose of the organization being to
bring other men TO church, and it had
two rules. the rule Of prayer and the rule
OF service. The rule Of prayer was that
each member should pray each day for
the spread of Christs kingdom amons
men. and the rule of service was that
each member should make an earnest
effort each week TO bring some man un-
der church influence.
From this small chapter, starting twen-
ty-hve years ago in Chicago, has grown
ono of the most powerful organizations
or the Episcopal Church. numbering at
the present time between 1900 and 1S,-
O0i members.
Great preparations are being made by
the Providence Brotherhood men 20 make
the coming convention one Of the great
Z est ever held.

"quiet hour" at o'clock on Wednesday

SUNDAY SALE
UNDER THE BAN
Law And Order Society to
Prosecute ViOIatOrS of Sum
day Closing Laws
POLICE WILL GIVE
AID IN MOYEM- INT

That the Law and Order Society pro-
poses 10 close all stores in the city do
ing business on Sunday where such
business is not a necessity, was evil
dent from the remarks made at a
meeting of that organization held in
the Ford Building last evening.
Preliminary steps We're taken looking
forward to the ultimate closing on
Sunday of all candy stores, TOBACCO
stores, and other places Of business,
which arc not a necessity.
As drugs are a necessity, drug storea
win not be bothered except those in
which articles other than medicines
are sold. MIX wagons are also con-
sidered a necessity, but newspapers CD.
Some members of the society do not
consider them a necessity and other ad-
mitted at the meeting last night that
they bought newspapers on Sunday.
Newspaper publishers, however, Will
not be bothered for the time being,
the object of the society at this time
being TO see that all laws relating to
the observance of the Sabbath are
enforced.
The question of Sunday selling was
brought up by the sabbath observance
committee and everybody at the meet
ing participated in the discussion
which followed. It was pointed out
that the Sunday laws were being
violated all over the city. by to-
bacconists. candy dealers and drug
stores. the last named selling cigars
and candies
Following the adoption of plans to
proceed with the movement. there will
doubtless be prosecutions.
William Z. Hawkins. a member of
the Law and Order Society. said to-
day that Chief of Police George Black
had informed his society that he would
work hand in hand with them. and he
thought the chief would, yet, he said,
the people themselves are much to
blame for existing conditions. "Chief
Black is often criticised when he is
not deserving of criticism" said Mr..
Hawkins, "and he can do little without
he has public sentiment back Of him
