CONFERENCE HERE
Rev. c. F., Sparkling in Charge OF
Young Peoples Work Sum-
mons Church Workers.

Rev Christopher p. Sparling Of Bal
timore. in charge Of the work among
young people Of the Episcopal Church
in the province Of Washington, has
called a provincial conference to meet
in Washington February 9.
For ten years or more there has been
a growing tendency for young Episco-
palians to organize groups for instruc-
ton and service. A year ago there
were about ten such groups ir the
different parishes in the city Of Wash
ington, and last summer there was
organized the Episcopal Young Peoples
Society OF the diocese OF Washington.
Similar organizations exist In some OF
the other dioceses in the province.
which covers the states Of Delaware.
Pennsyivania. Penn yI,r Maryland, Virginia and an,
West virginia and the District OF Co
lumbia. In other parts Of the province
there are parish societies Of young
people, but as yet no diocesan organi-
zation. Last November. at the time
Of the meeting in this city Of the synod
OF the province. a conference Of young
people was held under the chairman
ship of Mr.. Sparling. At that time the
young people Of Washington invited all
the other dioceses Of the province to
send delegates to a convention to be
held in Washington for the purpose OF
effecting provincial organization. This
is the meeting which is called for Feb
ruary . and which will be held in
Epiphany Church. Each diocese is ex-
pected TO send two young delegates to
the meeting. These will be the guests
while in the city OF the members of the
Washington Society. An enthusiastic
gathering is looked for.

BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS
PLAN SPECIAL OFFERING
Money Will BE Devoted to Relief
of Distressed People
of World.

More tnan 10000 Baptist Sunday
schools and churches or the south
are expected to take special offerings
Tor the relief of distressed peoples in
aIi sections of the world tomorrow,
when the appeal will be presented
through the joint efforts of the for
eign mission board and the Sunday
school board Of the Southern Baptist
Convention
Inasmuch as southern Baptists have.
In their foreign missionaries, per-
sonal representatives in every sec
tion OF the world where there is acute
suffering, who can distribute relief
FUNDS without any extra overhead
expense, and where they see assist
ance is most needed, churches, Sun
day schools and individual members
OF the churches are asked by the con-
vention to make their relief offerings
for all peoples, including the orphans
or the near east, through the foreign
mission board at this time. In this
way 1T is believed the money con-
trtbuted will go further In meeting
actual need. The needier sections of
Europe and Asia, as well as the near
east. will be included in the minis
trations of southern Baptists, as a re-
suit of this special Offering.

18 RELIGIOUS ORDERS
FOR EPISC0PALIANS
Two Maintain Establishments il
Capital, 0rphanage and House
and School.

A rule of life for the clergy and
layity is strongly recommended by
the Anglo-Catholic Congress Of Lon
don, which numbers among its MEM
bers many clergymen and some bish-
cps of the Episcopal Church in the
United States, and the congress es-
pecially recommends several English
orders as providing a desirable rule
for their associates, including the
Sodalitas Pretiosissimi Sanguinis D.
n. j. c. (Society of the Precious
Blood Of Our Lord Jesus CHRISTI.
This recommendation, it is ex-
planned. does not mean that the con-
gress urges its members to take the
vows OF religious" or embrace the
monastic life, but merely to accept
the rule laid upon associates by some
of these orders. The suggestion d.
rects attention to the great revival
in religious orders in the Anglican
communion generally, including the
Episcopal Church in the United States
According to the Living Church An
nual, there are eighteen religious or
ders for women under the jurisdiction
of the Episcopal Church in the United
states, partly active and partly con-
templative. maintaining converts,
schools. hospitals. homes, orphanages
and doing parish work. These are:
The Community of ST. Mary, the Sis
terhood of St. John the Baptist, the
All Saints Sisters of the Poor, the
Sisterhood of ST. Margaret, the Sis.
terhood OF the Holy Nativity, the Sis
terhood of ST. John the Evangelist, the
Sisterhood of the Holy Child Jesus.
the Order of st. Anne, the Sisters of
Bethany. the Society of the Epiph-
any. the Community Of the Transfig-
uration, the Sisterhood of the Holy
Communion, the Sisters of the An
Mary. Congregation of the Holy Name
OF Jesus, Community of St. Saviour,
order or the Incarnation, Sisters of
the Tabernacle, the Poor Clares of
Redemption and Alteration.
OF these orders, two, at least are
familiar to Washingtonians-th Sis
ters of st. Margaret, who conduct St
johns Orphanage and whose mother
house is. In Boston. and the Sisters of
the Epiphany. whose house and
school are located in Georgetown
There are fewer religious orders
for men i'll this country than in Eng
land, but two. at least, are very we'll
known-the Society of St John the
Evangelist, which has churches in
Boston and San Francisco and whose
members are famed as mission
preachers. and the order of the Holy
Cross, whose miSsioners have pene-
trated into parts of Africa never be-
fore visited by white men, and whose
schools. Kent and st. Andrews. are
well and favorably known. Others
are the Society of the ObIates of
Mount Calvary, connected with HOLY
Cross: the Congregation of the Com
Danions of the Holy Saviour: the
order of ST. Francis and ST. Barna bas
Brotherhood. The Order of St Francis
n alntatns 4 monastery at Merrill
Wis, and the Brotherhood of St
Barnafas consists entirely of Law
brothers devoting their lives to the
nursing of the sick poor, maintaining
a free home at Gibsonia, Pa, and a
house at Ripley. y. Y. Father Weed
on. formerly rector of st. Agnes
Church in this city. is now member
of the Order of the Holy Cross.

To Vegetable shippers of Califor-

"Your committee desires to call
your attention to the fact that on
December : it filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission 4 for
NAL complaint against the Califor-

weight on lettuce of 1900 pounds

ELKS ARE READY
FOR XMAS JOY
Continued from rage II

! er asks every member of the lodge
with his wife, sweetheart or sister
! to come to the Elks rooms tomorrow
night and help get the mass of stuff
on hand in shape for distribution on
Christmas morning.
Packing 1000 Boxes
Last night and tonight, squads of
Elks were busy packing over 2000
boxes with candy, nuts and fruits.
With this part of the work out of
the way an attempt can be made to
sort and place the toys where they
can be conveniently and quickly
passed out to the swarm of young
sters who are certain to overflow
the Elks lodge rooms Christmas
morning
There are dolls of every descrip-
ton, ready for distribution, each
girl visiting the Elks on Christmas
morning, getting one. French dolls
that go to sleep, Indian dolls, cow
girl dolls, dolls that squeak, dolls
that walk, every size and style are
here, all of them dressed in way
to make them real treasures to those
who will receive them.
Mechanical tovs--no one ever SAW
more varied assortment. Monkeys
that walk up 4 string, mice that
scamper around the floor, bugs that
crawl and flap their wings, racing
fire engines, locomotives, dancing
men, acrobats-enough TO cause the
onlooker to wonder how the Elks
ever corralled them all.
Then there are books, building
blocks, sewing out..;s, games, draw
ing crayons, necklaces by the gross,
harmonicas, needlework and only a
memory expert could recall what
else.
All of these things will be given
to the Youngsters Christmas morn
ing. The distribution will take place
at 10 clock around the big Christ
mas tree, which is now in the lodge
room ready to be set in position, and
which will be trimmed tomorrow
night by the Elks and their wives.
II is needless to say that the Elks
Christmas tree is for all youngsters,
regardless of race, creed or color
and all will be made equally wei
come. Nobody ut the Elks made the
statement. but it is known to the
writer that none of the baskets
which are given to the poor fami-
les, bear any mark 70 show that they
ome from the Elks. The men who
leave them at t:,r homes merely say
the basket is a present from Santa
Claus, and le. it go at that, which
is the Elks' way of doing things.
