Rt. Rev. Walter A. Guerry, bishop OF
the Protestant Episcopal church, do
cese of South Carolina, was the guest
!. OF honor last evening at the Church.
mans club of Grace Episcopal church.
Anderson, and delivered talk to the
, members of "The Work OF the Law
and Order League" of Charleston.
The meeting was held at the beauti-
ful home OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Godfrey,
III Webb street, and the splendid hos
pitality shown to the guests by that
household made the evening pass
quickly. Music and refreshments were
features that were highly -ioyed by
all present. Porter A. Whaley, was
chairman of the meeting.
The bishop was formally presented
TO the club by Rector J. H. Giboney, of
Grace church. or rather the club was
presented to the bishop, the visiting
.pre]ate already having recognized
most of the members and called them
by their FIRST names. Bishop Guerry
said that he had made no special prep
nration to deliver formal address on
the subject, but would just talk in a
general way on the work OF the Char
lesion organization as he had observed
st.
Non.Politieal Orga nlzation.
Il am going to talk said the bish-
op, ;aDour GnarIeston, Dut 1 am not
going TO condemn Charleston, because
4 never had any use for q man who
went about criticizing the town where
he lives himself. i may criticize some
things about the city. but IL do .
shall make the criticism to Charles
ton audience and it will be for the
benefit OF the city, as / seeit.
Il may state that the law and order
league of Charleston is not political,
but is an organization OF the church
people mostly so that they may the
better work out the civic betterment
program for their city--a city, histori-
cally great and whose very fiagstones
have been baptised with the blood Of
her patriots time and again. Her past
is SO great tffRt we are confident that
she VIII rise Phoenix like from II to
a matehlesE grandeur that will make
her the pride OF the South, of the state
and OF the nation. ~
The bishop told about some Of the
!: obstacles met in gettinB the .organiEa-
g ti0n to work and how some OF the re-
bluffs TO the workers came from unex-
pected sources. = But we feel that We

Speaking again OF the obstacles, or
rather revertina to that subject the
bishop said that many high class citi-
gems quibtled. over signing the card of
membership, which read that the Sign

make his neighbof honest. He said
the interlocdng of interests of those

strata was startling to most people, It
reminded him, he said, OF what mo-

the evil conditions of o certain strata
OF society being governed by those
