The local assembly OF the Brotherhood
OF St. Andrew will hold Its first meeting
Of the fall on the evening OF Monday,
September q, at O'Clock, in the parish
hall Of St Johns Church, In Sixteenth
street near II. Every effort is being
made to bring the full membership to-
gether at this meeting. Its importance,
aside from being the first meeting OF the
fall, lies In the fact that the program Is
calculated to elicit ideas for the winters
work. All members are earnestly re-
quested to give serious consideration TO
the subject and to attend the meeting
prepared to state their ideas.
Another matter for consideration at
this meeting Is the proposed change In
the constitution, permitting the eXecu-
tive committee to choose the officers OF
the assembly from among all the mem
bers, instead OF from the members Of
the committee only, as heretofore.
The details of the approaching tri-
diocesan convention. to be held at st.
