The two resolutions on the sub.

on an antipathy to women,s political

For instance, Clarence Cooke. who

WHY EPISCOPAL LEADERS
WITHDRAW THEIR SUPPORT
In UNITED MISSIONS EFFORT

The united missionary campaign, TAX
ing in Canada as well as the United
States. representing all Protestant home
and foreign missionary societies, save
the Episcopal, has placed its admins
trative work in the hands of the Lay
mems Missionary Movement, and its edu-
cational work in those of the Mission
airy Education Movement. The first
named is districting the country and
placing trained leaders in large cities.
Some Of these leaders will give a few
weeks, others several months. to organ
ization Sufficient numbers of leaders
are available. it is said, to enable the
movement TO place one in every city and
district the whole of the territory. The
Educational Movement is preparing to
issue literature in vast quantities, and
will take up a vigorous newspaper ad-
vertising and publicity plan.
This summer conferences are being held
East and West on methods to be en-
ployed in the campaign. The regular
conferences are to begin in the early fall
and continue until March Of next year.
Then is to come systematic canvass,
thoroughly organized by men. to induce
every Protestant in North America to
give at least 81 to missions. 1t is claimed
that not half of the 2o.0O0,oo0 in the
United States give to missions in any
form Within the last half dozen years
many mission boards have seen their re-
ceipts double, but they propose to double
them again If they can.
Essaying to lead in church unity plans,
the Protestant Episcopal Church has, in
fits general mission board, which repre-
sents both its home and foreign work,
pulled out of the united missionary cam
paign, and the president Of that cam
paign, Bishop Lloyd, Of tht Episcopal
board, has resigned. The united mis-
sionary campaign represents all other
Protestant missionary work in, America
and is getting ready for large meetings
that are to start early in the fall and
conclude with a united appeal to all
members Of all churches for money. 1t
claims to be the greatest effort yet made
for missions, and the best expression OF
real church unity yet given.
Reasons for the withdrawal of the
Episcopal Church are said to be several.
One is that while some of its leaders
are for church unity, it is not,-.as a
whole, ready itself to put unity into
practice. Another reason is that the
Episcopal Church hopes, in course Of
time and by persistent education. to in
huence Roman and Greek Catholic
churches, and it fears such influence may
be lessened IL it Identifies itself wholly |
with Protestant movements, Just as 1t |
might weaken its influence with Prot
estant bodies If it went wholly into
Catholic plans. Rev. Arthur J. Brown, |
Of the Presbyterian foreign board, has
been elected president in place Of Bishop /
Lloyd. 1t Is said that bishops of sew
eral dioceses will cooperate locally with
the united missionary campaign.

Speaking of the day, Roman Catholic
authority says:
I'VE have little authentic information
of the details of St. Swithun's life. The
early biographers of our saint. Lanfred
and Wulstan, gave practically no par
ticulars of him. and to the life by Got
zeIin we must look for such as we give
''Gotzelin was a monk, who came to
England with Hermann, who was Bishop
of Salisbury from 1865 to 1913. This cru
dite writer embodies in his work all the
traditions that remained to be collected
concerning the saint in his time.
est. Swithun was born of noble parents
in the reign of King Egbert, and early
displayed a leaning toward the religious
life. He was ordained priest by Helmis-
tan. Bishop of Winchester, in Ss. The
fame Of his learning and sanctity of life
going abroad, the king appointed him
guardian and tutor to his son, Ethelwluf,
and -.eld him in the highest esteem. In
the reign of Ethelwulf he was raised to
Grated by Seolnoth, Archbishop of Can
terbury.
The zeal of the new bishop knew no
bounds, and his love Of the poor and
charity toward all were in marked con-
trast to his harshness toward himself
and the austerity of his life. His biogra-
pliers emphasize his tireless energy in
building new churches and renovating old
ones, and We read that he had 20 much
influence over Ethelwulf that this mon
arch. at his suggestion, bestowed a tenth
OF his lands for the use Of the church
and for religious purposes. William of
Malmesbury tells US that Bishop Ahlstan
of Sherborne was Ethelwulfs minister
Tor temporal and st. Swithun for spirit
ual matters
His humility and austerity were SO
great that he always undertook his do
cesan journeys on foot, irrespective of
the season of the year and the climatic
conditions, and his charity toward the
poor is best illustrated by the fact that.
though he frequently gave banquets, at
his table were to be found not the rich
and powerful, but the halt, the lame, and
the blind of his flock
He built a bridge over the Itchen,
near the eastern gate of his cathedral
city, and SO substantially was the work
done that when Gotzelin wrote the stone
arches still remained. The same biogra-
pher tells pretty story in connection
with this bridge. A market woman in
crossing it fell and broke some eggs she
was carrying in a basket St. Swithun.
pitying the poor creatures misfortune,
blessed the basket, and the eggs were
found whole and unbroken.
'St. Swithun died the I'd Of July. $50,
and was buried. at his own request, with
out the church-'outside. in, vile, un-
worthy place as he pleaded.
Zone hundred years later, when St
Dunstan and Ethelwold of Winchester
were supplanting the secular canons by
monks. the new Cathedral of Winchester
which they built was dedicated to St.
Swithun. the former one having been
under the patronage Of ss. Peter and
