Episcopaliam

Tho Bishop Of Washington and Miss
Douglas sister Of the late Mrs Harding.
were at home Wednesday last at 8
O'Clock at the Episcopal reeidence. in
Massachusetts Avenue. to the clergy Of
the city and their friends. also to some
of the laity. to afford them all an op-
portunity to meet the Lord Bishop of
Winchester, Right Rev. Edward Stuart
Talbot. and his family.
Perhaps the one clergyman who looked
forward to meeting the Bishop Of Win
chester with q very personal interest
was the rector Of ST. Stephens Church.
Rev. Canon Dudley. who knew Bishop
Talbot very well a. Dr. Talbot, warden
of Keble College. Oxford. when Canon
Dudley himself was student at Ok
ford.
Apropos of the remarks OF the Lord
Bishop Of Winchester relative to Chris
tian socialism versus socialism Of the
Karl Marx type the following will be
appreciated: The present Lord Arch
bishop Of York. At that time Bishop
Cosmo Gordon Lang. Of Stepney. London.
was engaged In conversation with the
late Queen Victoria, when, using the
same term-Christian socialism-which
Bishop Talbot has Just used. her majesty
said: what Is the difference between
Christian socialism and any other social
ismT The difference II very great"
replied the Bishop. IAN other kinds Of
socialism say: What is yours is mine
Christian socialism says: What 10 mine
IL yours"
Emmanuel Church. Anacostia, Of which
Rev. W. q. Davenport is Rector. Is one
Of our most active churches and one too
that early gets its full forces together
for the fall and winter campaigns.
On Tuesday last the Ladies Guild Of
the church met for business connected
with a rummage sale II IL going to hold
and also with the bazaar which the
parish church will hold some time next
month. Mrs. E. King, the president OF
the organization. was in the chair.
In former years the guild has always
met on Monday but for this year II will
meet on Tuesday. which 1t Is believed
will prove a very much more conven-
lent day.
On Wednesday the Embroidery Club Of
the parish: Of which Mrs. Edward Null
lett has charge. met at the residence OF
Mrs. Harry Dewalt is Pleasant Street.
A couple Of years ago the vestry Of
Emmanuel parish sent out an appeal for
Sacrifice Offering" to be used for
ordinary expenses and. IL enough could
be raised. as was earnestly hoped. to
procure the services OF a curate. The
amount received was insufficient to pro-
vide a curate but the rector has this
fall been able personally to secure the
help Of a competent and experienced
parish worker. q graduate Of the Dea-
coness' School OF Philadelphia. who Is
most highly recommended. She has been
ofliciaIly transferred to Mr.. Davenport's
spiritual care by the Bishop Of Utah.
She will do the work of a deaconess in
Emmanuel Church and parish and as
such hold an ofncial position therein.
Last Monday several Of the clergy met
ct the residence Of Rev. d. s. Elmer
Smith, to discus the situation, ~ II now
presents itself. with regard to q change
IN the church's name. II was decided to
invite expressions Of opinion from the
various clergy and lay delegates Of the
diocese, As to how far and in what d.
rection a change Is desired.
