ideals of purity and confluence and holy

Paps Lude In Amusements
AS for amusements, immodesty in
dress. looseness in sexual relations,
bcstiality and crime as chief attractions
in theatrical shows and phOtoplays, un-
bridled license and extravaganza in all
things. are so much the established or
der Cf the day that the most rcspec-
table among us have ceased even to

"What makes the situation so in
fnitely tragic is the fact that the worst
of has happened since the war. Fight
ing stopped, and reconstruction is sup
posed to have begun, eighteen months
ago. We won the war. but seemingly
we lost all that we were fighting for:
Since the armistice it is universally
agreed that there has been a loosening
of moral fiber, determined. almost de-

our scanty spiritual supplies till there

crude materialism. "Bolhesvism.' re-

Personal Service Greatest Need
"Thc greatest need of the church is
personal service" Bishop Garland told
the convention at the afternoon session.
Though we have many more OrganiZa-
tions and committees than in the years
past. we still need more of the quiet,
persistent personal conservation which
is the essence of the spirit of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew. &c.,
May the l1oly spirft otiGod lead us,
both men and women. TO realize the i'm
portanc" of such personal work, and
especially so among those who labor in
the thousands of shops and factories in
our great city. Such n manifestation
of that great spirit of Christian brother
hood will be a great bulwark for the fu
turc in both church and state. This is
a ministry in which all can share and
translate into practice our daily prayer:
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heavcn.
Bishop Garland reviewed the work in
his charge for the year. One of the in
tereStiug features of his report was the
work at the Church Farm School.
Hit by High Costs
"Thc high cost of everything needed
on the farm during the past few years,
including wages and salaries, naturally
resulted in a large deficit in our run
ming expenses. Friends of the school
are cndcavOring to raise this amount.
and already half Of it has been secured.
Despite this financial drawbacks, tn"
school has made much progress in the
last year. The third dormitory, called
st. Martins College Cottage, has been
erected and third class admitted.
There are now forty five boys III tn"
