ST. ANDREWS SOCIETY
OFFICER COMES TO D. C.,
E. A. Shields to Live in Capital
Will Direct Work in This
Province.

The Brotherhood of ST. Andrew. a
national organizat ton Of men and boys
of the Episcopal Church, has been or
ganIZed on the provincial lines. and
Edward A. Shields has taken up his
residence in Washington as field sec
retary for the Brotherhood in this
province.
For several years the Brotherhood
Of St Andrew has maintained a CEN
trail office in Philadelphia. During the
recent war a number of secretaries
were sent to France with the troops
for welfare work, where they played
part which has been fully recog-
nized. Mr.. Shields was one of these
secretaries. At the conclusion of the
war the brotherhood continued to en-
ploy a small number of secretaries
who travelled about the country where
their services were most needed This
plan has now been superseded by
placing a secretary in each of the
elght provinces into which the coun-
try is divided in the administration Of
the Episcopal Church. The province
of Washington includes the States of
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia
Mr.. Shields is spending his time at
present in a survey of Brotherhood
activities in the Diocese of Washing
ton and in examining the possibilities
for further development Of the work
in this neighborhood. He has Offices

NEW EPISCOPAL HOME
PLANS HOUSEWARMING
Lady Managers to Receive Dona-
tions at Formal Opening
Next Week.

The Episcopal Church Home, 1915
Wisconsin avenue, will hold house
warming and formal opening next
Saturday afternoon. This affair will
take the nature of a pound party"
to which Interested visitors will
bring donations.
Less than two years ago the need
for home for aged. infirm or lonely
people of the Episcopal Church was
brought strongly to the attention of
the church people in consequence of
the numerous appeals which We're
reaching the bishop and clergy from
those desiring a home. An organi-
Zation was formed and the project
given considerable publicity. The
support and cooperation of the
church authorities were obtained and
funds raised to carry on the prelimi-
nary steps.
The Episcopal Church Home finally
became an incorporated body. The
gift of a house by Mrs. Cornelia c.
Jones made the actual opening of the
home a possibility. The home is To-
Gated at the corner of Wisconsin ave-
nue. and Lowell street. The block in
which the home stands contains also
a part of the National Cathedral
School and it's new alumnae house
and will perhaps some day be en-
tirely occupied by church buildings.
Mrs. William Charming Johnson,
president of the board of lady man
ayers of the home, has extended an
invitation to visit the home Novem be T
Is, between and 6 pm, at which
time members of the board will be
present to show visitors over the
house and receive donations. Not

niture, rugs, blankets, magazines.

man world would have been preju-
diced against His gospel and His
mission would have been a failure.
1t was not the first time that Jesus
had met the issue. He settled 1t for
ever by refusing their support. 1t
meant the end of His popularity, a
period of opposition and finally the
cross.
Unless He could minister unto the
hearts of men and meet their spir-
itua1 needs. Christ would not be do
ing the Fathers will. Jesus knew
that political power and philanthropy
ic provision to meet the emergencies
of the moment would not permanent
ly satisfy human needs. Such service
would limit His activities to few
years and He would have to repeat
His assistance more and more. He
sought to win the mind, soul and
spirit of men because the spiritual
needs were greater than the phys
ical, social or political. By supplying
the spiritual needs Of men, Christ
gave the world a cure for all their
ills. World peace awaits the hour
when all men shall possess the spirit
of good will toward God and their
fellow men.

East for help and the Red Cross in
