Sacraments."
In addition to the lectures, a din
ner and conference will be held in
Emmanuel Parish House, Monday
evening for the purpose of having
free and informal discussion of the
opportunity of the Episcopal church
at the university. Invitations to this
dinner have been sent to Bishop
Reese and to the Rev Messrs. Law
renee and Walker as the representa-
tives of the Diocese of Georgia. to
Bishop Mikell,' the Rev. T. H. John
son, LID, Dean of St. Phillips Ca
thedral, Atlanta, and to the Rev. A.
G. Richards, as the Representatives of
the Diocese of Atlanta. Besides
these, the university professors who
are members of the Episcopal
church, and a number of others who
are familiar with the life of the uni
versity, are expected. This is done in
order to give the representatives of
Doth dloceSeS an opportunity TO study
the problems on the ground, and to
give them the benefit of the views of
the men at the university, before the
representatives make recommends
tions to their respective councils for
action.
DR.. Stewart is considered by many
to have no superior as preacher and
lecturer in the United States. He
is scholar as well, and has been in
touch with student life for years. He
is an alumnus of Northwestern Univer-
sity at Evanton, and his name pre-
sented last spring for the presidency
of that university, was formidable
one, until he, himself, came to the
support of the man who was later
elected. The fact that his name
could be presented to head a great
Methodist university, shows what his
alumni and university people in his
own city thinks of him, regardless of
his churchmanship
