ercised by the club and introduced
"the one we have all learned 10
love. the one who has made good
in all our hearts-the Bishop Of Del
aware"
Bishop Cook referred TO his recent
at the Episcopal conven-
tion. and said that in view OF his
address there and the further fact
that he believed he had covered
the ground so thoroughly" he had
little justification" to extend his
remarks. He referred in highly
terms to the activi-
ties Of the Church Club, but added
that he believed there was some-
hing more than the holding OF
dinners which should
provide a reason for its existence.
There should be some better 'raison
i'etre,'" he continued, some more
intimate relationship with the work
II the church itself than at present"
lie mentioned a recent visit he had
made TO Laurel, and smilingly added:
They have good folk in Sussex. let
ne tell you. The folks there set a
tandard that is going to make VIII
nington hustle"
