EPISCOPAL.

The next meeting of the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew of the Diocese of Wash
ington will be held in Emmanuel parish
hall Anacostia. 1t will be the last meet
ing of the brotherhood of this diocese be-
fore the convention Of the brotherhood
in New York City October l, just one
week before the general convention Of the
church.
1t is therefore important that every
chapter in Washington be represented
at this meeting, which will take final
action with respect to the sending OF
delegates to what will probably be the
greatest convention in the history of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew.
The new rector of Anacostia, the Rev.
William Oscar Roome, was a brotherhood
man for many years before he entered
the ministry, and has been the director
of several large and effective chapters.
1t is fitting that this meeting should be
held in the parish hall of his church.

Europe has just held a Baptist con-

thousand registered delegates from prac-

fifty from the British Isles, and a dozen
from the United States. The leading
subjects OF the congress was that of
evangelization.
1t was pointed out in addresses and
discussions that in countries with estab-
lished State churches conditions make II
difficult for Baptist churches to gain
headway, but the conditions of social un-
rest are favorable. 1t was the belief
that there should be less of proselyting
or making of sects, OF which Baptists
are charged, and more CT an effort To
uplift all religious agencies and to mani
fest more of federation and charity.

METHODIST.

President Crawford, Of Allegheny Col
lege, with committee of helpers, carried
ont a unique campaign covering the Erie
Methodist Conference during July, visit
ing the rural churches and communities
in an evangelistic way, by the use Of
church workers in automobiles. Owners
OF the cars offered their machines in
great number in response to DR.. Craw-
ford's appeal, and more than three hun
dred gospel workers travelled in teams
about the entire conference, preaching
and singing and conversing with men
everywhere The figures summed up at
the end of the month were something
like this: Teams engaged to the number
OF 90; speakers, 163; singers and musi-
clans, 163; other workers, 70; total work
ers, 33S; churches visited, 1S2; automobiles
in service, SO; total of auditors, H,6S5, Of
whom were members, 1884, and nom
members 1854; recorded conversions, 50.
The design was seed sowing, rather than
an effort 10 win instant decisions. The
teams visited every part of the district,
the different ones driving president
Crawford himself from 800 miles down
to fifty miles. The evangelists succeeded
in accomplishing an interesting combi-
nation of recreation with real Christian
service, and the purpose of the campaign
was thoroughly carried out, viz: To
arouse rural churchmen to greater inter-
est in the work; to assure pastors of fel-
lowship in their difficult problems; to
reach nonchurchgoers, showing them the
value of the church as an institution of
social betterment, and to report back to
the city and town churches an inspira-
tional service.
Plans have been completed for the in
teresting program of services to be held
tomorrow at the Southern Methodist
camp meeting at Great Falls. Vice
President Marshall will speak at the aft

Model Of 0etoplane VIII Be One Fea
ture at Benning Labor Day
Celebration

One Of the features Of the Labor Day
celebration at Benning will be the exhI-
bition Of the seven-foot model octoplane
OF Carl Dryden Browne. Of Common
veal Castle" Napa County. Cal, invent
or. artist. Socialist. originator, organizer.
and chief marshal OF the famous march
to Washington in 1894 of the great army
of unemployed, officially designated as
THE Commonweal OF Christ" but famil-
iarly known as Coxey's army.
The model is now in a Fourteenth Street
garage being tuned up for the occasion.
It is furnished with a half horsepower
constructed. The machine will be flown
on = wire.
The object in constructing the model.
which has cost a goodly sum, has been
to demonstrate in a safe yet satisfactory
manner the practicability Of the machine
and to vindicate the principles upon
which the construction is based.
Army aviators. Signal Corps officers.
and Smithsonian officials have examined
the model and have shown much interest
in the machine. which Is novel and orig
inal. Until recently the model was in
the yard adjoining the residence Of Rep
resentative Kent of California, who is
backing the inventor.
The propeller of the machine is placed
in the front as a sort of puller, and Is
technically termed a tractor. The planes
are arranged in three sections of eight
planes each. Two Of these sections
flank the tractor and the other one is
placed just above the rudder. These Sec
tions have something of the appearance
of paddle wheels and the planes are free
to revolve when the wind strikes them.
Browne claims for his machine absolute
automatic stability.
The octoplane is equipped with a para
chute which may be opened by the avia-
tor /at any time. Although nigh on to
the three score and ten milestone,
Browne is determined to fly his own
machine. He says it will be as safe as
a roller coaster.
