C|TES BEST FOR
EPISCOPAL
MEET
H. L. Rust, {. /. Stock, Ar
thur s. Browne and Doctor
Bowen in. Delegation

The people of the Episcopal
churches in the diocese Of Washing.
ton, are congratulating themselves
Lecause Of the type Of lay delegates
who were elected last February to
represent Washington at the gen.
eral convention Of the church,
which meets Nin New Orleans, octo-
Der Z.
1t is now generally recognized
that the discussions of the con.
veIition will center around the mai
ter OF finance. The frequently
published accounts of the contro-
versies concerning the abridgemef1t
Of the Ten Commandments, changes
in the marriage service and similar
matters will be disposed of with
little discussion. The important
bishop for the church will be
settled by vote with a minimum
of personal appeal. The question
of church finance is, however,
basic one. The lay delegates from
Washington include II. L. Rust
and Il. F. Stock, men Of large busi.
ness experience in their respective
occupations, and moreover of ex-
per1ence in the handling Of funds
in civil societies, and associations.
Each has been for many years
closely concerned with church ii
nance in this diocese. Arthur S
Browne, the leading layman or
the delegation, has a national repu
tatjon as a canonist or expert in
church law.

BIGGEST THRILL
FROM SERMON
IN NAZARET
Doctor, o. w. Fifer Says In
cident Exceeded His
Greatest Dreams

Doctor Orien w Fifer, pastor OF
Central Avenues Methodist Episcopal
Church, of Indianapolis, feels his
greatest adventure in expounding
the gospel came this summer when
he preached in Nazareth, eighty
four miles from Jerusalem.
His audience consisted of $50 Ar
menian boys, wards OF the Near
East Relief at Nazareth, where
they are being trained to become
carpenters.
Doctor FIfer has just returned
from a tour of the Holy Land. On
his visit to Jerusalem, he was in
vjted by Edwin NJ. Blatchford, Near
East Relief director in Palestine,
Ia accompany him on an inspection
sof the Al. ,er1can oil pi1anage schools
in Bethlehem and Nazareth. They
spent Sunday in the latter city and
Doctor Fifef was invited to preach
to the Armenian boys. He said:
at had been the dream of my
life to visit Nazareth. but / had
never dreamed of actually preach
ing the gospel there. The ser
vice was held in an old stable
used as chapel for the or
phanage. The boys seated them
selves in rows of twenty on mats
laid along the floor. spoke to
them through an interpreter. us
ing as my text the Golden Rule,
which has been adopted as a
slogan by the Near East Relief.
MY audience was very atten-
tive, but 1 am sure that l was
far more affected by the simple
service than they were. They
brought tears to my eyes when
the choir, of which every member
was an orphan and an exile from
Armenia, sang Home, Sweet
Home withEArmenian words"
