Strength of Brotherhood.

The strength of the Brotherhood OF st.
Andrew is said to be in its strict observ-
ance of the corporate communion held
each month, and a custom which is grow
ing in many parishes in number OF the
cities throughout the country TO develop
into a corporate communion for the men
of the parish instead of being confined. as
formerly. to the men of the brotherhood
chapters. The annual report of the coun-
Gil at the recent National Brotherhood
convention speaks of the monthly cor
porate communion as the pulse of the
brotherhood chapter and urges its faithful
observance by every member of every
chapter in the land.
