| Rev. T. Herbert-Jones Col. Truesdell,

| ington a Clean City" Quite good deal
of interest was shown In the discussion.
| An interesting fact has just been made
| known by the Rev. T. Hubert-Jones in,
connection with the splendid new parish
hall of Epiphany Church. No less than
5000 people have been in the building
since October last. The hall is. In fact,
busy hive of industry. In the gym
nasiums alone, between two and three
hundred people are present every day.

| Woodley Road, on the 18th instant, at l
o'clock. About forty clergymen were
present, including several guests from
Washington and from Alexandria. After
lunch very lucid and helpful presenta-
ton or the philosophy Of Bergson was
delivered by the Rev. j. j. Dimon. rec
| tor Of st. Andrews Church. MIR. Dimon
entitled his subject "The New Emphasis
or the Value and Scope of Experience
as Developed in Henri Bergson's Phi
| losophy." 1t developed quite a debate on
the limits of the development of truth
and the relations of developing and
evolving thought to the finality of the
| revelation in Jesus Christ. DIR. Will
iamson Smith. Mr.. Dunlap. Canon Nelms.
DIR. Childs, DR.. Sterrett, and Dean Craw-
ford were the chief debaters.

among the Indians in the far West, I'M
der the Bishop of Wyoming, delivered a
lecture last night in the Parish Hall or
the CHURCH.
OnsSunday morning next DIR. c. Ernest
Smith will preach on the speech of
Gamaliel, which is commonly regarded
as fine piece of statesmanlike modera-
ton. 1t may indeed be that, but a closer
inspection and study Of the speech rather
indicate the reverse. The subject, how
ever, presents In any case, very inter-
esting topic, and a field for study on the
part of a student of Scripture. At night
the assistant, Rev. c. Herbert Reese,
will preach on Job.
Under a canon Of the diocese the bishop
Of the diocese Is directed to send to
rectors and vestries. three weeks before
the annual meeting of the diocesan con-
vention, a statement of the conditions,
needs, and prospects of the mission work
in the diocese. The bishop has just sent
out this letter:
Reports from the parishes throughout
the diocese are, with slight exceptions,
uniformly good. The manning ot the
parishes which were vacant last year
has been accomplished. and they are all
supplied with energetic and competent
rectors, and the results of their work
are beginning to be shown The confir-
nation classes are good, the tone of the
services is excellent. and the financial
conditions are favorable. Reports from
several Of the parishes state that the
offerings at Easter were greater than
they had been for years.
THE needs of the missionary work in |
the city were never so pressing as at
present. With the ten stations, at which !
services are being held and work being |
vigorously conducted, the problem of |
support weighs heavily on your bishop, |
on whom rests the responsibility for |
their maintenance"
