WITH 1HE EPISCOPALLANS.
The annual open-air service, marking
the beginning of the twelfth year Of the
peoples open-air evensong. will be held
on the afternoon of Ascension Day,
Thursday. May 25. at 4 q. m. on the
Cathedral close. The bishop will preach
and many of the clergy Of the diocese
are expected to be present.
ton was made by Rev. Enoch NJ. Thomp-
son, rector of the Church of the Nativ-
ity. which was perhaps the most impor-
tant motion made on the floor of the
convention and which. strangely enough.
seems to have escaped public notice.
The motion was as follows:
Resolved That II is the Of the convention Of
the Diocese of Washington that the word ''protes-
ant Is not essential in designing branch Of
the holy Catholic Church and might well be drufTel
from the title page Of the prayer book and from
the fornularies Of our cummunition.
On account of the lateness of the hour
when the motion was introduced it was
withdrawn by the mover in response to a
very general feeling that the subject re-
Quired a great deal more time for its
discussion than the convention could
give it. However. it is curious that so
important a motion should have been
entirely passed over in all notices Of the
work and discussions of the convention.
General attention of Brotherhood OF
st. Andrew men throughout the city and
the eleventh tri-diocesan convention in
nue. and Twelfth street, at II a. m. to-
day, to continue in session all day and
followed by appropriate services to-mor-
row.
Special attention is asked to two things
in connection with this convention. First,
the change of hour of the corporate COM
munion Tomorrow morning. II was
originally announced that this would be
at s a. m. 1t has now been decided to
hold it at I a. m. instead. Second. the
mass meeting at 8 p. m. Tomorrow. At
announced. DR.. Hubert Carleton. gen.

What the brotherhood stands for after
twenty-eight years experience" and

ture of the brotherhood"
Realizing that If the prisoners aid de-
partment is to be supported by the ef-
forts of the church so as to continue its
good work, the committee in charge has
secured the Rubenstein Club for a musi-
cale1 next Wednesday at $50 at the New
Willard. There Is deficit Of $500 to be
wiped out. For the work II is doing no
organization is costing so little financial
ly, and 1t will be a shame If this paltry
sum is not secured, and much more.
The authorities of the Episcopal Home
for Children. at the head Of Talbert
street. Anacostia, have issued a cordial
and general invitation to all the friends
and well-wishers of the home to go out
next Saturday and look at the new home

grateful If the visitors would take with
them donations Of money, clothing, gro
ceries, remnants Of all goods, linens, &c.
They also ask for donations toward q
horse they greatly need.
