narrator is none other than Thomas
Brown, who can well remember the
day and the circumstances Mr..
Brown says that the boys all called
Mcguire, 'Hughey," a name that
has always chung to him. This
southern stronghold had been under
siege for a long time and when the
word was given for the final assault
the Vermont boys We're found in the
front ranks. The firing was terrific
and the resistance made by the Con-
federate desperate. Mcclure, agile
and active, sprang over the fortifi-
cations and pierced his bayonet
through an adversary. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Brown, who seeing an
other Southern soldier rushing TO his
pairs assistance, got his man Just in
time to save Mcclure. The man had
already raised the butt of his mus
ket high over McGuires head, but it
never descended.
Mr.. Brown has often ben credited
with the distinction of being the

claims the honor preferring to let
the people know who the real first
man over was.

Alfred Newbery Speaks
at Important Conference
at the St. Marks Church

The Mission conference which was
begun Friday at the st. Marks par
ish house, was continued Saturday.
In the afternoon Mr.. Newberry con-
tinued his talk on the first principle,
which is the completeness of our re-
lations to our neighbor, speaking
particularly of the domestic work in
the United States. He handled this
under three heads. The first was on
religious education in which he said
that there was need of 4 change in
the attitude of the parents toward
the Sunday school. He also said
that there should be a desire on the
part of the people to encourage
vice in the church.
His next point was that of social
service. In this he spoke of the
duty of the church In creating a con-
science on social conditions which
will treat our economic and indus
trial problems from the standpoint
of the Christian social service prin-
ciples of brotherhood, service and
the supreme value of the individual.

work as applying to the negro, In
dian. mill worker, rural jewellers and
foreign born.
In the evening Mr.. Newberry
spoke on the subject of the White
Menace" lie is well qualified to
handle this subject as he has passed
five years as a teacher in China.
He said, 1T cannot be too strongly
emphasized that western CONNER
cialism in and of its self does not do
any more than intensity production
for the sake of profit. 1t often in
PRODUCES methods which cut squarely
across the Christian attitude of life"
He then went on to say that slum
conditions, sweatshop methods,
loosenesS in regard to marriage
VOWS, industrial strife, and the pur-
suit of the dollar were the things
which we We're carrying to the East
and which formed n menace to them
Sunday Morning Address
MIR. Newberry took up the second
principle called The Completeness
Of our Relationship to God,' sun
day morning. He spoke of what
could be called the tipping evir' in
the church.
The special timeliness of these
conferences lies in the fact that
on November 6 the Episcopal church
celebrates the Tooth anniversary of
the founding of its missionary work.
