WILL MEET TO CONSIDER
PRAYER BOOK CHANGES
Young Peoples Society, Church of
the Epiphany, Announces Series
of Conferences.

The first of series of meetings of
the Young Peoples Society of the
Church of the Epiphany, at which
the proposed changes in the Book of
Common Prayer" will be discussed.
will be held at the church tomorrow
afternoon at $50 O'Clock
Miss Margaret Sherman Burt leader
of the first meeting, will have for
her subject the proposed changes in
the services of morning and evening
prayers, prayers and Thanksgiving
and the litany. A social hour will
be held following the meeting.
This series of discussions, which
will embrace every proposed change
in the Prayer Book" was started
by Rev. Raymond Wolven. assistant
rector, and has aroused a great deal
of interest among not only the young
people but the older parishioners of
the church. 1t is deemed likely that
suggestions offered by the young
people will be put into shape and
presented to one of the committees
at the general convention in Port
land Oregon.
Widespread interest has resulted
from the proposal to change certain
services in so far as ritual is con-
cerned. and the younger people of the
local diocese have shown interest to
the extent of making certain sugges-
tions for consideration at Portland.
1t was due to this that Mr.. Wolven
decided to have the meetings in or
der to give the young people an op-
portunity to voice their own views
regarding the changes. 1t is to be
remembered. the minister says. that
the young people of today will be the
backbone of the church of tomorrow
and should be given an opportunity
to present their own views regarding
any changes which might be made in
services

nant, has resigned to accept call
from the First Presbyterian Churcn

felt at the Covenant Church, and es-
pecially among the young people
with whom he is exceedingly popular.
Not only has the attendance at the
church services during the past two
summers been unusual and composed
largely of young people, but the MD

been continued throughout the sum
mer and have been enthusiastically
supported. Mr.. Talbot is largely re-
sponsible for the upbuilding and sue
cess of the "All-Comers.' which is the
mems Bible class of the church.
The church to which Mr.. Talbot
has been called is highly regarded on
account of it's past accomplishments,
and offers a splendid field for Chris

to s2,1ss.64. Three years later it
was reached in 1901. and three years
later it went out to $150,000. Thus.

structing mission homes and schools
More than 700 women have so far
been sent out by the auxiliary, and

is their custom, but in accordance

received here by the National Catholic
Welfare Council.
As some bishops had expressed
wish that The meetings of the hler-
archy be not held every year. the
bishops are asked to consider wheth-
er hereafter Eth the ;, mes{I%ss {Ia Of 1oneae the
intervals 1t is to be understood. the
instructions say. that the meetings
are to be entirely voluntary and that
bishops are not bound to attend either

also to be understood. the instructions
say, that the decisions of the blshops
at these meetings have nothing in
common with conciliar legislation:
which is governed by prescript of
the sacred canons. The meetings are
to be merely for friendly conference
terest for the safeguarding of the
church's work in the United States.
Notice Of Agenda.
It is suggested that the bishops be
proyided in due sea son with sum-
mary of the points or questions to be
considered. 1t is understood, however,
that this should not hinder any bishop
from proposing to the meeting any
other question of particular interest.

fare Council" to the National Catho-
lie Welfare Committee" as the use of
the word council. it is thought, is1open
to some misunderstanding. The
bishops in their general meeting are
to choose the administrative commit

Those who are selected to serve on
this committee will hold office from

reports to the hierarchy.

FORCED TONE IN

Hungarian Artists Debut Here
Not Striking for Smooth

Ferenc Vecsey. to use his Hungi'

violinist in Washington yesterday
afternoon in a recital at the National
Theater in the second philharmonic
,ourse presented by Mrs. Wilson.
Greene. ....
Hailed as a giant Of his instru-
ment, Mr.. Vecsey suffered by reason
of an anticipation that was not full
filled. He has a fluent technique. can
reate quite a maze of virtuosos runs
and double stops with many ~ the
intricacies of SHOW" pieces. But his
tone is acrid, except in his soft pas,
sages, and a paucity Of idea In. phrase
or color made his interpretations mo-
notonous-so monotonous, In fact'
that his audience did an unusual thing
for Washington, by leaving In masses
tefore the close Of the concert.
Academic. playing with the care
eulness of a student and not the free
dom of an artist, Vecsey made one
feel every measure with no conscious.
ness Of the entire phrase. He has
built the scaffolding Of a great struc:
ture, but so far there Is neither form
nor shadow to call 1t art. 1t was
shown in the Mendelssohn f minor
concerto. Here a lyric passage prom
:sed melodious beauty, his intona-
ton is excellent usually. But where
was the ingratiating, melting lowell
ness of this music? Nor could one
dance to his Gluck 'Melodie," 1t was
mathematical not rhythmic; while
that noble "Preludium" with the al
legro Pugnani-Kreisler) had all sorts
Of tones in the octave jumps.
f. Az composer Vecsey was equally
Intellectual. He played two Of bis
"Caprices,"' a, 'Pourquoi?" and "Badi.
mage fmpertinant." The first all
tremolo, in dissonant double stops
was the moon coming through the
clouds" 1t was chiefly chromatic
exercise. Only the "Pourquoi?" had
an appeal Of melody. but 1t was not
sustained, while the last was i'm
pertinent only in name.
Two Paganini variations corr
pleted the program. to which were
added as encores "Danse MacabrG,
of Godowsky and the "Humoresque'
Of Dvorak. Walter Meyer Radon al
the piano gave life to the program
but just why Vecsey Is proclaimed
an interpreter is difficult to discover
