Bishop Harding Sounds Keynote.

The keynote of the meeting was
sounded by Bishop Harding when he
said:
when the Provincial Synod in Pitts
bur-h unanimously adopted the report
OF the standing committee on missions,
backed as it was by the equally unani-
nous voice of the Wonlan's Auxiliary
of the Province of Washington, it COM
rnitted every baptized member of the
church to this great altruistic Christian
project.
who can refuse to do his share in
bearing the banner of Christian sacri-
ice, Christian loyalty and Christian
service? The world says this war
proves that Christianity is Il failure
Christian men, women and children, let
US show the world, by the action pro-
posed, that on the contrary the war
has increased the flame of our Christian
spirit. SO that in its light we can see
beyond our own selfish interests and
behold the Savior's vision of the uni
verSal brotherhood of man in the TEL
lowship of Christ
The report to which Bishop Harding
alluded as having been adopted by
the synod of the church declared that
the standing committee is empowered
to enlist as far as possible all mis-
sionary organizations within the prov
ince- especially the diocesan men S
missionary committees, the Woman s
Auxiliary. the Sunday School Auxiliary
and others, ito the end that not only
every one of our 204, 900 communicates
be given an opportunity to make a
weekly offering, but also in addition
the largest possible number of our ad-
herents who are not communicates"
Bishop Harding declared I'VE are
here tonight to do something" and
Immediately afterward. although it
was announced that no collection
would be taken up at the meeting. an
nouncements were read from the plat
form that anonymous givers in the
audience had pledged themselves, re-
spectively, one for $4,000 and another
for 81, 900 for the cause of the Chinese
missions in particular.

Bishop Talbot's Address.

In an epiSramnatic address, filled
with word pictures, Bishop Talbot de-
clared that the missionary idea is like
the idea aninnating great army--it
succeeds by virtue of it's conquests. He
made plea for national protection and
patriotism, and pointed out the danger
OF falling to spread the doctrines of
christianity among the thousands of
immigrants who will come to this
country, he said. as a consequence of
the war in Europe.
We must share our Christianity" he
said, with the foreigners who arc
rapidly making UP the population of
TINS country. The missions are not the
side shows of the church. They are not
addenda They are vital and funda-
mental to the whole world. II has been
said that Christianity is the ONLY re-
igion in the world not founded upon a
book or dogmatic statement. 1t is
founded upon Il life. Tho only way Won
can keep your Christianity is to give
II away.
We have been wondering in the
hoard of missions what the next call
would be from England. and now We
have heard the remarkable storv that
the English church has done more for
missions during this year than ever
before in its history. II this war lasts
much longer, England-s resources must
be used up. and we shall be called upon
10 help out over there. If il lasts much
longer we shall be obliged to help out
Germany and France and all those
other countries at war
We must get ready, now There is
enormous wealth in the Episcopal
Church. and We must face this crisis
al this time"
Conditions in China.
ReI. Arthur VI. Sherman told of con-
ditions in China, declaring that Euro
pean statesmen are looking with long
ing eyes on that country. He described
ist vast natural wealth and resources
and contrasted these with the poverty
of the great majority of its population
both physically and spiritually.
China will one day be one of the
greatest forces for Christianity in the
world" Mr.. Sherman said when
China is Christian the end of the work
of christianizing the world will be in
sight. The opportunities there for
Christian missionary work are double

Bishop Brown Tells Of Brazil.
Bishop Brown of Virginia, who is the
president of the board OF missions
and who spent many years as a mis-
sionary in Brazil. advised that what

But our natiye clergy in Brazil. ! dare TO
say. are far and away the best educated
native clergy of any missionaries in the
world. Our church in Brazil has done
more in the way of Self-sUIport than any
mission in the world. Last year we re-
reited less assistance from home than
any mission in the world with the eXcep-
ton of Porto Rico, yet tie young Bra
lillian church gave more than twice as
much last year than it has ever done to-
ward its own support.

Help Country to Recuperate.
While il is true that the s3,0on,oo0
to be paid to Nicaragua under the
treaty will not satisfy all her debts.
yet it is equally true that half this
amount will be used in paying 1000
claimants among the common people
there, in the shape of awards of the
mixed claims commission: also the
moral influence of the treaty will open
up the vast natural resources of the
republic and increase the customs re-

country on a paying basis and enable 1t
to negotiate loans on much better

 On Sunday breakfast Is served at z. Later the students go to the various Sun day schools and churches in Camp Hill and spend the afternoon as they like. After an early supper the girls usually have a musicale In the library of their dormitory. and the boys so into Camp Hill for church service.
 On Monday the school week begins. The boys on duty are up at 4. and breakfast Is at s. An hour later study hour and recitetions begin. The boys work in groups. certain ones working on given days of the week, so that all attend school and also help on the place. Chapel service Is held in the middle of the morning. and recitations are then contin- ued until noon. For those who are work
 ing the dinner bell rings at l o'clock and for those who are in school if rings again half an hour later After din- nor recitations continue until late in the afternoon. After school there are classes
 in physical culture, rehearsals of the cho- rus glee club and orchestra. There Is time to help pupils who need special work Just now the boys who play base ball are putting all their spare time on that Supper is served at 6. and after the work of the kitchen and dining room Is done. the pupils study for the next days lessons. All students are in the dormitories at night md are not allowed in town.
 For the teachers there Is much work beside that of the classroom. The class room work does not represent the sole purpose of tho school Rather it is one of the parts of composite whole that makes of the school place where boys and girl may spend year or four years or moro in developing all their talents. The school this year feels the loss of one of It's students--one who was typical of the kind of boys for whom 1t exists. He was a man who learned to read after he was 2l years old. Why he wanted to learn. we do not know It may have been due, to the spirit of present times. 1t may have occurred to him that he could earn more and be more useful if he were educated; 1t may have been the inspira- ton he found in a little mission school taught near his home in North Caro- lima. Perhaps. says Mir. Ward, 1t was all of these working together. He once told Mir. Ward that he could not get a position as a locomotive engineer. be- cause he could not read. He could run the engine, but he could not read the orders.
 He attended the the little school in the mountains, and then he went to Camp Hill to the Industrial school. He was 2

first days is told. Then there is the old blacksmith shop from which came many tools is mended and made usable after they had been considered worthless.
 In the early days in the classroom de- partments, it was not unusual to find the teachers helping almost grown boys to learn to read and write. They had spent their earlier years in mills and in the mountains, and the wonder IS that their ambition had not been lost. Among the first students were boys and girls of all ages, from to 26-a mother and child in the same class, four great grandchildren of one of the presi- dents, little boy who said he sure had learned a heap" and girl who said it made her happy to be in sight of the school Tt was more like home than home sure enough
 The days were filled with work in the schoolrooms and without. A two- story frame schoolhouse was built, principally through the activity and the financial support of the late D. A. G. Ross of Camp Hill. one of the best friends of the school. In his honor, this school building was named Ross hall. It was built by the boys, under the carpenters direction, and contains class rooms. large assembly hall. and the principals office.
 The next building was Alabama hall, built by the boys In it are rooms for 30 students and teachers. and also the shop and the printing room. All cata- logs, stationery and other printed matter used is from the school print shop. The boys learn this trade and the work they send out is creditable.
 Girls Dormitory
 Later. after those days of pioneering, the girls dormitory was built. This is

good blacksmith. and made for the school several vehicles from old buggies and wagons that had been thrown away. He repaired the heavy trucks and the carts and drays and mended and snarpened the farm implements. Soon he learned plumbing and did much of the work on the schools new water system. He was one of the best carpenters among tho boys There seemed to be no work that his hands could not do. and he found real pleasure in all of 1t. When new we'll was to be dug, 1t was found that on account of the caving. shifting, sides 1t would be necessary to work at night as well ss during the day. In order to make progress He was the first to voun- teer for night work. and he led the boys who worked with him.
 Mr. Ward says he never knew this boy to do a mean thing, and that he was his aide-de-camp.
 But though he could figure on lumber or on excavation and could do any work with his hands. his school work was hard for him to master. He learned geography because hls lessons were read to him from day to day.
 He had some natural talent for mathe- matics. but his reading was hard, and so his English and history meant littlo 10 him. After trying for three or four years. he decided to VI back to North Carolina and to give up further attempts to learn, from textbooks. In less thau a month he found himself longing to be back and was to have returned last fall to try again.
 To earn money he wns working in a logging camp. and operated "slidder - a machine for hauling logs out of wet and swampy places. One day something went wrong with the machine. He saw that his helper was in danger of being caught and killed and he threw himself in the boys place.
 The helper recovered. but the boy who had saved him gave his life. MT. Ward says of him: His education was faulty. but he had what many of us have not character as upright and as downright as any man that ever lived.'
 Such was one of the boys of the school. It is for boys like this. and who can esti- mate what it is worth to help them?
