CHURCH SUPPERS UNDER BAN
Bishop Williams Condemns Money
Raising This Way as Unchurchly.
PRIESTS WARNED ON DIVORCE
Head of Diocese Tells Rector. to
Council Sees Deacon
Ordained.

The practise OF ~..-..hes in giving en-
| tertainments, suppers and affairs of the
kind for the purpose of raising money
was attacked by Bishop A. l.. Williams
in an address before the forty-thiry an
nual council of the Diocese of Nebraska
at Trinity CathedI al rday afternoon.
1T seems to me an unchurchly appeal,
when effort is made to give con-
tributOr to the cause a material return
for his money" said the bishop. The gift
without the giver is bare "
Bishop Williams also took occasion to
call the attention of the clergy of the
diocese to the regulations concerning the
marriage of divorced persons. He de-
manded that they should adhere strictly
to the canon of the church.
While the bishop offered criticism in no
uncertain terms his address was marked by
note of optimism. He spoke with earn
estness of the material and spiritual prog
ress Of the church in this state.
There is a growing sense of the duty
of the wealthy to leave in their Wills
requests for church and charities" said
the bishop. THE time is close at hand,
when it will be deemed as much a duty
| as to provide for ones family"
The council session opened in Trinity
Cathedral with an ordination service,
Johr d. Rice being ordained deacon by
Bishop Williams, who also preached the
sermon.
At the close of the service, the council
began its business session in the crypt
Of the cathedral
