THE PROGRESS OF THE KINGDOM

THE SPIRIT OF MISSIONS comes to its readers with confident hope
for the work of the New Year. The Christmas commemoration of
Our Lord’s first Advent is also the glad recognition of His continuing
Presence with His Church by the operation of the Holy Spirit.

It is the Holy Spirit Who accomplishes our Lord’s Presence and it is
the Holy Spirit in our hearts Who enables us to respond to that Presence.

So the whole Church to-day is praying for an outpouring of the Spirit
of Christ, that the eyes of our understanding may be enlightened and that
our hearts may be kindled with glad, unselfish enthusiasm for the extension
of the Kingdom of God.

THE Holy Spirit is the Lord and Giver of Life— and wherever there is
life there is the working of Spirit. Now, as we know it, life is organic.
It is manifested by external, visible means. It must express itself ; and so
we have the order, harmony and beauty of the growing world. The first
mention of the Holy Spirit in the Bible is where “the Spirit moved upon the
face of the deep” and wrought order out of chaos; and “where the Spirit
of the Lord is there is liberty”, because liberty means freedom restrained
and protected by law.

It was by the operation of the Holy Spirit that the timid band of
sorrowing disciples on the Day of Pentecost became an organized Church :
for while the Church is primarily a spiritual body, yet as a living body on
earth it must be organized, although the organization exists, in order to
promote and increase, and not to retard or hinder, its spiritual power.

THIS is the sufficient answer to those who complain that we spend too
much time in amending canons and improving the organization of the
Church. If the Church is alive and possesses the indwelling Holy Spirit,
it must be always increasing its efficiency for practical work. The Church
is alive and is growing in usefulness and power: and therefore its organiza-
tion is becoming more and more definite and effective. Heretofore we

The Progress of the Kingdom

have been handicapped by individualism in its various forms. The parishes
have too often felt themselves independent of the diocese ; and the diocese
not infrequently has adopted an attitude of mere voluntary and federated
union with the Church as a whole, although we know of course that this
contradicts the whole genius of the Church. A bishop is not consecrated
as a bishop of a particular diocese but as a bishop of the Church of God
and his assignment or election to a particular diocese is only an accident.
We must get closer together as brethren and fellow-workers in our Church.
We must realize our solidarity and that from Maine to California, from
Minnesota to Texas, we are members one of another, interested in and
responsible for the conditions that obtain in the weakest diocese or mis-
sionary district in the land.

Let us pray the Holy Spirit to quicken in all our people this sense of
responsibility for the work of the whole Church and thus justify the
Nation-Wide Campaign.

THE General Convention of 1919 in Detroit took a great step forward
towards the realization of the solidarity of the Church when it decided
that at least those organizations which represent what we may call extra-
diocesan activities might properly be consolidated and put under one
management. This is the primary meaning and import of the new Canon
60. It creates a Council of twenty-six members, sixteen elected by the
Convention and eight elected severally by the Provinces, with a bishop-
president, elected by the General Convention for a term of years and a
treasurer elected ex-officio a member of the Council. Out of the member-
ship of this Council are constituted at least five departments, viz: (1) A
department of Missions and Church Extension; (2) a department of Re-
ligious Education; (3) a department of Social Service; (4) a department
of Finance and (5) a department of Publicity. The bishop, president of
the Council, is ex-officio chairman of each of these departments. Each de-
partment must prepare an annual budget to be passed on by the Finance
Department and approved by the Council. The bishop, president of the
Council, is the executive officer of the Council and carries out its legislation
and its plans.

We have used the phrase “bishop, president of the Council”, because
the title “presiding bishop” is misleading. Bishop Tuttle is still the pre-
siding bishop of the Church for the discharge of all the duties of that office
except those described in Canon 60. An account of the first meeting of
the Council, held in Washington City, November 25, 1919, appeared in the
December number of “The Spirit of Missions”.

THE Woman’s Auxiliary — which has done more to arouse the conscience
of the Church to the vital importance of its missionary work than any
other agency — will now, under the new organization, have a definite voice
and vote in determining the missionary policy of the Church. Each de-
partment will have an executive secretary and the council members of each
department have the right to associate with themselves twelve additional
members, some or all of whom may be women. Thus the eight women
elected by the Provinces may and probably will become members of the
department of Missions and Church Extension.

The Progress of the Kingdom

THE new organization is the result of an evolution which began as far
back as the General Convention of 1901, when Bishop Satterlee, with
the approval of all the bishops then on the Board of Missions, introduced
a canon creating a representative council of the Church to act in the
interim between the meetings of the General Convention. The movement
failed at that time, but Bishop Lloyd and other members of the Board
have worked patiently and intelligently ever since to educate the Church
to a belief in the necessity of some such arrangement.

Now that the organization has been effected it will require sacrifice
on the part of those whom the Church has chosen to take the lead under the
new regime ; and it is to be hoped that every member of the Church will co-
operate, by earnest prayer and unselfish service, towards bringing to per-
fection that which has been undertaken, we believe, by the direction of the
Holy Spirit of God. T. F. G.

A FAREWELL MESSAGE

On the first editorial page of “The Spirit of Missions” for January, 1900, there
appeared, under the head of “Salutatory”, a message of greeting to the bishops and
other clergy and the laity of the Church from the recently-elected General Secretary
of the Board in charge of the missionary work of the Church. After twenty years of
service Bishop Lloyd, in presiding at the last meeting of the Board of Missions, in
December, 1919, gave its members the following message, which we share with the
whole Church:

WANT to say a word on my own behalf. I want to say thank you to
1 somebody. It is a day of rejoicing for the Board of Missions; the day
of the consummation of the prayers of the people. Do you realize that
when I came here we thought that half a million dollars was a burden the
Church could not be asked to bear? Six hundred thousand dollars was the
limit intrusted to the Board of Missions, and thoughtful men used to stand
on this floor and say, ‘It is not right and just that we should burden the
Church with increased loads/ And I remember how I used to feel, and I
look back again and I see how your guiding and your own steadfastness and
your own courageousness has somehow heartened the people until Detroit
came, and on your recommendation, without an indication of appreciation,
the General Convention authorized a budget of three and a quarter million
dollars for the Board of Missions. You did it, you know, and you did it by
astonishing self-forgetting. You ought to be grateful.

“The other thing you want to be grateful for is that the Church has
finally found out that a headless body cannot have intelligence and it has
really and indeed created an organization with intelligence and with
authority to act. You don't realize it, but all these years in order to carry
out your behests it has been necessary to win the favor of individuals — it
has been absolutely the only single means by which the Board’s business
could be carried on. The individual man had to be convinced that what
the Board proposed was a thing worth doing. Any priest in any parish in
America could say to me, T am not interested’. Any bishop in any diocese
could say to me, T am not interested’. And yet things have gone so that
as I look back I don’t believe any of us has occasion to do other than thank
God for the wonders He has wrought.

The Progress of the Kingdom

“And then to come to our personal relation. You have been very-
generous, you know. Sometimes I have been perfectly certain you were
going to destroy the Church in not being able to see the way of wisdom as
I proposed it, and I have gone upstairs heartbroken, only to thank you later
for not yielding to my point of view because you had had more of that
thing called common sense than I had on that particular occasion. You
have saved me a good many times from doing what would have been hard
to correct, even while you have tried my soul by being so slow. And all
the time it has been easier to bear because I have known that you had in
a way a difficult person to deal with. I have not always, in spite of my in-
tention, been able to make the Board understand what I was after; and
many times they have had to take me on faith. This was especially the
case at the beginning — I don’t know what would have become of me if it
had not been for my dear old fathers, Bishop Doane and Dr. Huntington,
who never hesitated to tell me the truth when they disagreed with me.
In those days the Board’s generosity and patience became very apparent ;
and I have rejoiced in it all these years, until the crowning act of your
generosity came last fall when the desire of my heart, which had been
growing for years and which I knew had to come sometime and which I
wanted to have a hand in, was made possible by your doing a thing which
I confess at the moment took my breath away. It was when you author-
ized and made possible the Nation-Wide Campaign by ordering the treas-
urer of the Board to underwrite the expense of it that you did the biggest
thing, the most generous act, you have done since I have been in this office.
That one thing would have mTlde me glad for all the years if I had had
nothing else, because you had to do it on faith.

“The Nation-Wide Campaign brought to the General Convention what
I never saw there before. For one day the Spirit of God controlled that
splendid body of men. I have never seen in my life, a witness of the power
of the Spirit of God in Christian men as I saw it manifested in the joint
meeting of the two Houses at Detroit. It was the day that made me know
the Campaign was according to the will of God, and would do what it was
undertaking to do. It was made possible by your having the courage to
tell us to go ahead. We cannot know now what the issue will be in
dollars, but we do know what the issue of the Campaign is in the purpose
for which it was created. It has proved that if the Church has a chance
and is given a chance, it will do what the Christ bade it do. If anybody
has held the Campaign back anywhere, I am ready to say that investigation
will prove that it was the pessimism of the clergy that has hindered it.
You know I am not criticizing in saying this. There is nobody in this
Church who knows the burdens the clergy bear as I know them ; nobody
who knows how everything they have done has been hindered and stopped
by the poor flatness of the vision of men, until they could not help it. But
wherever there has been a clergyman who could see beyond this day and
could think in terms of the Spirit of God and not in terms of an insurance
company, the thing has been demonstrated you know, so that we turn over
to the Council a Church that is actually at work. There is not one diocese
in the Church, I believe, to-day but is actually working, organizing the
people whose business it has been to take care of the business of the King-
dom of God. There is no heritage we could give to the Council comparable
in value to this.”

THE NATION-WIDE CAMPAIGN

IT is in order, paraphrasing the
prophetic remark of the Reverend
William A. Sunday, to exclaim with
regard to the Nation-Wide Cam-
paign :

“Look out ! The Episcopal Church
has waked up!”

That much has been demonstrated
by the returns at hand from the
nation-wide canvass of December
seventh — and more. They are
modest at National Headquarters,
conservative, inclined to err on the
side of caution, refreshingly un-po-
litical like, in brief, in the respect
that they refuse to claim victory
until the last figure from the most
backward parish is in. But the
simple fact is that there is every-
thing in the trend — there is ample
warrant in the figures already at
hand to indicate that the $42,000,000
drive is over the top. The Hinden-
burg line wasn’t smashed in a day ;
but from the time the first line of
trenches was captured, it was an ab-
solute certainty that the 27th Di-
vision was going through.

So with the Nation-Wide Cam-
paign. Partial returns from a repre-
sentative group of dioceses show
that a majority of quotas have been
subscribed, and many of them have
been over-subscribed. The mes-
sages already received encourage us
to believe that we too are “going
through”.

Consider these returns from the
South. Norfolk sends word that the
diocese of Southern Virginia has
passed the $600,000 mark, with a
prospect of attaining a total of $800,-
000 or even a million, when all the
pledges have been counted up. In
the diocese of Virginia, according to
Richmond advices, 170 parishes have
pledged $270,000 annually for the
three-year period.

Partial reports from South Caro-
lina show that of nineteen parishes
heard from eighteen have met their
quota and a majority of these are
over-subscribed. Like reports of
over-subscriptions come from the
diocese of Atlanta, where the can-
vass was held in a violent storm,
and from the diocese of West Vir-
ginia and the diocese of East Caro-
lina. Kentucky is running close to
its $86,000 quota.

So far only meagre returns have
been received from New England
and the Eastern States, though re-
ports are at hand indicating that
Philadelphia — the diocese of Penn-
sylvania, and the only report as yet
received from a metropolitan centre
— will send in a total of $3,000,000
or double the quota assigned to it.
In a single Philadelphia church
$104,000 was subscribed. Another
reports two subscriptions totalling
$22,000 a year. The diocese of Beth-
lehem reports an incomplete return
of $83,034. Central New York has
its canvassers still at work, with re-
turns varying from thirty per cent,
of quota to over-subscription.

Chicago is giving a whole week to
the canvass. Scant returns at hand
show all quotas met. Leaders in the
diocese of Missouri wire confidence
in meeting the full quota. All the
parishes in the diocese of West
Texas which ‘carried on’ December
seventh, report their quotas over-
subscribed, with the returns still
coming in, since a recent storm there
caused a postponement of the can-
vass in many places. Far off Oregon
sends returns of 25 out of 41 parishes
with a total of $75,428.

The note of wide-awake enthus-
iasm dominates every report sent in.
Like a mighty army, the Church is
on the move. Headquarters con-

The Nation-Wide Campaign

servatism is undoubtedly justified
by business-like Church administra-
tion. In those offices where Mr.
Franklin, chairman of the executive
committee of the Joint Commission
on Nation-wide Campaign and Dr.
Patton, the Nation-Wide Campaign
director, are receiving the returns,
however, quiet confidence is the
hand-maiden of business-like con-
servatism. It is pointed out that in
many dioceses the drive has not yet
been made; and in these the moral
impetus of what has already been
accomplished will be a powerful in-
centive for those forces still held in
reserve to go over the top with a
rush. So also is it true that in many
dioceses, returns are being made
slowly. What is especially signif-
icant, is that wherever the completed
returns are in hand, the result is up
to expectations and beyond.

The Hindenburg Line wasn’t
smashed in a day ; but when the last
battalion of the A. E. F. reported
after that drive had ended, all that
was left of the drive was an unpleas-
ant memory.

Especially cheering to the man-
agers of the Nation-Wide Campaign
in connection with the returns are
the human incidents which illustrate
the manner in which the individual
has been reached by the campaign.
In one Southern parish, for instance,
a house and farm have been con-
tributed to be used as a home for
homeless girls. In the same parish
a Negro church has established a
home for the care of old women.

It is interesting to note, also, that
Mr. Lewis B. Franklin, chairman of
the executive committee of the Na-
tion-Wide Campaign carried his own
“precinct”. Saint George’s Church,
Flushing, Long Island, in which Mr.
Franklin worships, increased its
pledges over last year by 394,
pledged $7,235 for parish support as
against $2,400 last year, and $6,159

for missions as against $1,800 last
year.

Discussing the results of the can-
vass to date, Mr. Franklin says:

“We know that there are many
places where the campaign was not
conducted with enthusiasm and
thoroughness, and of course no such
results as those now coming in may
be looked for in these quarters.
These first reports show what the
Church is capable of doing. They
seem to be setting a standard by
which the whole Church will be
measured in this, its greatest effort.
They are the forces which will impel
those units which have not suc-
ceeded, to build their records up, in
the months to come, to a higher
plane of achievement.”

The Reverend Dr. Robert W. Pat-
ton, national director of the Cam-
paign, said :

“Naturally we have heard thus far
from only a few dioceses and com-
munities. These reports come from
those units of the Church which
made most efficient preparation for
the Campaign. Every report thus
far received, and there have been a
considerable number for so short a
time, shows either a quota sub-
scribed or over-subscribed. But it is
to be anticipated that reports from
a large part of the Church will be
delayed several weeks at least.”

Most important of all the develop-
ments since “Mobilization Day”, and
regarded as more significant than
any of the results of the canvass in
assuring ultimate success for the
Campaign, was the action of the
Presiding Bishop and Council at its
New York meeting on December
eleventh in making the Nation-Wide
Campaign one of the six depart-
ments of this forward-facing body.

SUMMER IN ALASKA

From a 'painting by the Reverend E. P. Ziegler

SO far as working for. the King-
dom is concerned I doubt
whether it is possible to find any-
where in the world more of the back-
yard variety than here in Alaska.
It’s a big backyard and on the start
I remember that I felt as we all
used to feel when our dad told us
to clean it up. Sorting and throw-
ing stuff in a pile for ten years or
so, no wonder a fellow straightens
up his back, stretches out his arms
and looks around to see how his
little part of the chore is coming
along. About the time that you’re
thinking of quitting, another tin can
shows up, you bend down and dig
it out, inspect the label if there is
one, learn from it what the contents
are if there are any, what grade,
who the manufacturer was and to
what service it was put or whether
any further service can come there-
from.

Why, in this backyard I have
been astonished at times to find
filled cans in good condition lying

unused, again I have found some
half-used and thrown aside, some
with the contents about to spoil,
some sour, some ready to explode,
many without labels and hard to
decide upon and some with false
labels.

It’s exciting also. I have thrown
by mistake or sudden impulse a per-
fectly good article into the pile, un-
able to rescue it. Some rolled out
by themselves and rebuked me for
my lack of good judgment. Some
later nourished me and even saved
my life. My enthusiasm in regard
to this “menial” profession is so
great that I fairly tremble in my
haste to reveal the many wonders
which have presented themselves-
while my back has been bent. I
have learned more about tin cans
than a cousin of mine who has made
a million dollars in the business, but
he is putting up the product while
I am putting the waste to practical
use, redeeming apparently hopeless
material and myself.

SAINT MATTHEW’S, FAIRBANKS, IN SUMMER

The Backyard Glorified

This introduction is parabolic.
The backyard is my mission, the tin
cans are mostly men, some women.
I love them, they are a passion with
me, they develop me, why not ?
They have converted me from a
heartless and brutal scavenger to a
sensitive, sympathetic artist, patient,
with a desire to be just and chari-
table.

For the enlightenment of those
who are interested or who may be
considering entering this field of en-
deavour I shall relate a few of the
thrills which I have experienced,
wdth a hope that they may be of
sufficient inducement, to some man
or woman to take up a rake and
make his or her way to the yard. Do
you know what a big yard it is? It
comprises the deeply-indented coast,
the vast interior, the remote Arctic
regions. We are showing you pic-
tures of all these. Take your choice.

A mining camp of five or six hun-
dred at the other end, two hundred
miles away, the richest of its kind
in the world — copper. We’ll go up
there, preach to ’em and at ’em.
We’ll not argue with them now,
we’ll tell ’em, inform ’em. We’ll
argue afterwards. We’ll tell ’em the
human race has been praying for
thousands of years just as we
breathe because there is air, just as
we hunger because there is food,
etc. After the service we’ll go up
to the staff house and we’ll have that
“argument” all right. We’re not
arguing with a lot of ignoramuses
either, they’re college-bred men,
mining and civil engineers. It’s
great. How often do you get a
chance like this?

Next we’ll go down to one of the
bunk houses, smoke some rank to-
bacco and remark incidentally that
it’s unfortunate that the Episcopal
Church is composed of such cultured
people, and after we have been talk-
ing with them and reminiscing over
the past few years with some of the

ON THE TRAIL

old timers with whom we have
been on the trail, someone will say,
“Well, next time I’m going to
church, too”, and you can say,
“Well, maybe we’ll not let you in.”
Then we’ll all laugh. But he’ll be
there next time.

Men do not talk about their salva-
tion or mothers ; these topics are
too sacred on short acquaintance.

, But they let you bury their dead,
baptize their children ; they like your
church, the Red Dragon and you.
(They gave us twenty-five hundred
dollars toward our completed new
church.) These men work under-
ground— they are laborers, and are
vitally interested in what the Church
has to do with those “who labor and
are heavy laden”. How often has
your parson had a chance or taken a
chance to tell them what the Church
thinks about it and them? If you’re
lacking in brains or a tongue, they’ll
give you credit for your nerve.
Here’s your chance.

There’s a little town just five miles
below. We’ll make it tonight down
the trail in a dog team. How still it
is from up here. A mist hangs over
it and the gasoline lights are blink-
ing through the trees, and the smoke .
from the stovepipes in cabins and
tents is going straight up. It’s very
cold. Then we hear phonographs and
are in town. We go to the hotel and
a 'couple of drunks are in the next

room and no one can sleep, so we’ll
go to Jimmy’s cabin. Jimmy apolo-
gizes for the strange odor but we
sleep through it. The odor is due
to their having used the place for
an undertaking parlor a day or two
previously when “Mag the Rag” and
Joe were prepared for burial.
“Mag” was cut to pieces with a
razor and Joe was found dead in
his bunk a day later. Joe was not
an accomplice, but was supposed to
have been a witness in some way.
“Mag” had $30,000. There isn’t
much fun here, I’ll tell you. The
whole town is pale and sick morally.
At 30 degrees below zero the whole
town went to the double funeral.
There is just a suggestion here of
what we talk little of.

I baptized a baby before I left
town and the remembrance of the
pretty, homelike interior as the
mother was bathing the children
from a dishpan is with me as I

write. Access to homes such as this
is what permits the personal touch
which is so valuable to the priest.
Intercourse is, I believe, much more
personal in a country like Alaska
than in the more densely populated,
cultivated regions. The various
strata composing society are neces-
sarily more often thrown together —
they must experience the same
pleasures, difficulties, joys, sorrows.
Money, station or family cannot
change temperature, climate or
transportation facilities here. Gen-
erally in Alaska the rich and the
poor eat out of the same dish and
dance to the same piper.

Our best friends: Who are they?
Did you ever hear Mr. Tutt’s say-
ing: “I find but very little difference
between the man in jail and the one
outside of it”? The man who has
been most zealous for good turnouts
at one of our missions on the Copper
River has just sent us an appeal to

The Backyard Glorified

help him raise $1,000 to keep him
out of jail. He plead guilty to boot-
legging. He’s a good fellow, but
he’s a bootlegger, too. No one
knows what crimes you and I are
guilty of. I buried a man from the
church a while ago. He lived in sin
with the woman he loved, raised a
little, unpromising orphan, and took
care of him for years with no obliga-
tion upon himself to do so — just the
goodness of his heart. I know an
outcast woman here who supports
two younger sisters and a crippled
father in the States. She doesn’t like
it. It is sin. There are many who
do like it. I was conversing with a
friend the other day who had just
been convicted of larceny. He told
me that the superintendent of a Sun-
day-school had made a whiskey still,
coil and all. Most men who make
stills are not Sunday-school super-
intendents and vice versa. Never-
theless, he’s out of jail and the crook
who was found out is in jail.

If our bishop tells the truth about
Alaska some Alaskan editor will
sledge him in an editorial and allude
to the Church’s work as Bishop
Rowe’s “game” and the bishop as
head “dealer”. I have lived in Cor-
dova for some time, and it’s a tough
town with many fine people in it,
and as for the other towns, what I
have seen of them, they’re tough,
too, and there are fine people in
them. But we’re all of the country
— friends and fellow citizens.

These anecdotes are simply pro-
saic little pieces of realism which
one meets with to right and left.
Part of the Church’s campaign is
to be in the midst of it, living it, ad-
justing things for the betterment of
all concerned whenever and wher-
ever the opportunity presents itself.
It is not the business of the preacher
to preach down to the men and
women who are the makers and pio-
neers of the country. We are of the
country and part of them. We all

have problems, they and we. I
often glory (and in it is my only as-
surance) that my mission is God-
given, else it is presumption on my
part to act as an advisor or teacher.
A country like ours has much to
teach- the Church when it comes to
love and charity, and until we learn
it our churches will be deserted so
far as the workingman and those
who are stigmatized as “unworthy
of charity” are concerned. And
Christ’s Church needs them all, the
Master drew no lines, He hated sin
and really loved the sinner.

How do we meet them? Every-
where. In pool-halls, saloons, on
the streets, on the creeks, in the
camps. This is the life.

Jimmy the Bear was a most pro-
fane man and a tough one, but he
lost his life in a snowslide in an
attempt to rescue a partner. There
was no chance for him in a General
Convention, but he died a hero.

Anyone with red blood, a love of
adventure and a zeal for Christ’s
Church would look upon all of this
as an opportunity. What more fer-
tile field? A rocky one at present
and a hard one for years to come,
but its fruitfulness is coming. It
will be after many a missionary is
dead and buried, after many of our
now prosperous towns have been de-
serted. This is the history of all
missionary work on frontiers —
planting and planting again.

For young men who believe that
it takes about ten years to even get
acquainted with your parish, I
should say that this is a most ro-
mantic, thrilling backyard, but it
takes much besides a seminary to
train for it. In the providence of
God we are doing wonders. The
longer one lives in it the greater
becomes the wonder to think that
the backyard is so vast. And when
the thaw comes I know that another
can will show up. There’s one now !

EPIPHANY AT SAINT PAUL’S,
NANKING

By the Reverend J. M. B. Gill.

Damn on our barknraa anil U'nii ua Ilnur aiii.

THE teaching of the Epiphany is
the most valuable if it can be
brought forcibly to the heart and
mind of Christians, and this is in a
special sense true in the case of a
little congregation of Christ’s fol-
lowers who are set in the midst of
heathen darkness like ours here at
Saint Paul’s, Nanking.

This year we determined to de-
part from our usual observance of
the day and try a new method. It
was a wonderful success, far exceed-
ing our most sanguine hopes. There
was a celebration of the Holy
Eucharist at eight-thirty in the
morning, with sermon ; and at six
in the evening a special service con-
sisting of Evening Prayer and a
miracle play followed by a short
sermon and the Service of Lighjts.

Our beautiful Christmas decora-
tions of evergreen and white were
still in place and formed a perfect
setting for the miracle play. The
play was enacted by eleven baptized
girls from the government orphan-
age, and represented the Christian
virtues of Peace, Joy, Mercy, Truth
and Love as spreading the Light of
Christ under the leadership of Gos-
pel, overcoming and converting the
sins of Contention, Sorrow, Cruelty,
Falsehood and Hatred. Each of the
white-robed virtues carried a lighted
Candle, and when the black-gowned

sins, one by one, were overcome and
converted, they were clothed in
robes of white, given golden crowns,
their candle lighted with the Light
of Christ, and they were taken into
the assembly of the virtues. And at
the end the whole assembly were
warned by Gospel that their labors
were not ended, and exhorted to
go forth and spread the Light of
Christ’s Gospel in all the dark places
of the earth. They marched out
singing a recessional, “The Light of
the World is Jesus”. All during
this miracle play the crowded con-
gregation sat in absolute silence — a
very remarkable thing for a Chinese
congregation to do. The miracle
play was followed by a hymn and
a short sermon on Christ as the
Light of the World, and our Christ-
ian duty to receive into our heart
His light and spread it in the dark-
ness of superstition and sin.

On each side of the chancel steps
was a large candle, and beside them
trays of small candles to be given to
the congregation. We explained
the two large candles as symbols
of Christ’s Divine and Human na-
tures, and how we should come to
Him and receive light that we might
transmit it to others. Then all the
lights in the church were put out
and the two large candles lighted by
the priest. Beginning from the re$f

Epiphany at Saint Paul’s

benches the whole congregation
passed in single file up the aisle and
each one received a small candle
which they lighted from the large
ones and returned with their lighted
candles to their seats. Then, at a
sign from the priest, the whole con-
gregation, as one person, raised their
candles aloft and chanted the “Gloria
Tibi”. After the Benediction, by
the light of their candles the congre-
gation sang “From Greenland’s Icy
Mountains”, which in Chinese, much
more fittingly than in English, ex-
presses the missionary lesson.

After the service we told the
people they might extinguish their
candles and take them home with
them. But to our glad surprise the
lesson had sunk too deep into their
hearts for that. They said “No, we
will never put them out ourselves.
We will take them home and let
them burn themselves out.” And
so, they went out from* the church
compound into the dark streets of
this heathen city bearing with them
the Light of Christ. How it did
move one’s heart to see those one
hundred and ninety-six light-bearers
— men, women and children, old and
young, with hearts stirred by the
teaching they had received — going
out into the night ; and how truly
had God’s Holy Spirit used this sim-

ple ocular demonstration of Christ’s
mission to the world of men to grip
their imagination and move their
hearts.

To Miss Porter and myself, the
only foreigners among them, there
came an almost indescribable feeling
of exaltation, and of thankfulness to
God our Father for the blessed privi-
lege of preaching His redeeming
gospel to these children of His, and
of beholding something of its power
in their lives.

There were in the rear of the con-
gregation six men from Peking,
guests in a hotel just across the
street from our church, who had
just drifted in with the crowd, and
as our Chinese priest, Mr. Chung,
and I came out and stopped to speak
to them, they said that they were
greatly impressed by what they had
just seen and heard, and asked if
we would take them back into the
church and allow them to have a
candle and light it at the large one
too. They said “We too want to
receive some of this light about
which we have just heard.” Of
course, we gladly agreed to do as
they wished and Mr. Chung took
this opportunity to tell them more
of the Christ, Who once again was
being manifested, as at the first
Epiphany, to men from the Far East.

BOYS’ INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT CLAY-ASHLAND, LIBERIA

A PLEA FOR INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS IN LIBERIA

By Mrs. R. A. Sherman

We are indebted to Miss Seaman of our Liberia Mission for the opportunity of
publishing the following paper, remarkable as being written by a member of the Vey
tribe who was educated at the House of Bethany. It was read by the author before a
meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of Saint John’s Church, Cape Mount.

Missionaries are those, as

we all know, who are sent
out to do some special work for
Christ and generally as teachers
and preachers in heathen lands. To
be a missionary is a sacred position,
for the first duty of each missionary
is sacrifice. Before entering upon
such a sacred duty, it is necessary
for each one to first examine his or
her motives to see if he or she has
any that are selfish, any political
ambition, or any ideas of self-
aggrandizement. If these are ab-
sent, then see if he or she is inspired
by the pure motive to serve human-
ity for its betterment and is fully
determined to live a life of consecra-
tion and devotion to God and of
service to man.

As teachers, missionaries are ex-
pected to educate and enlighten
those who grope in intellectual
darkness, and teach the heathen
about Christ in the simple forms as
set forth in the Gospels, instead of
doctrines of sects. In dealing with
the heathen it is necessary to make

the best impressions upon their
minds, and I am of the opinion that
in order to be able to fight against
Mohammedanism which is spread-
ing so rapidly that nearly all the
heathen around us and even in our
midst are adopting it as their relig-
ion, the missionaries will have to
desist from teaching and preaching
denominational doctrines, thereby
condemning one another; for such
teachings are too complicated for
the heathen, and only tend to con-
fuse their minds, create a suspicion
and distrust in our religion and drive
them away. Education is first
needed before they can comprehend
our views and understand the dif-
ferent denominations and the rea-
sons which brought about the divi-
sions.

I am convinced that one of the
principal reasons why Christianity is
not making the progress which one
should expect, is because of our edu-
cational system. Permit me to say
that the education given to the
young men and women who are sent

A Plea for Industrial Schools

from heathenism to receive the light
of the Gospel from our mission
schools, is not sufficient to enable
them to earn a livelihood and con-
sequently they are in most instances
forced to go back into the interior
without that thorough training
which would cause their comrades
to look up to them for examples.
Now if I am allowed to suggest, I
feel that in all missionary schools,
there should be a branch or branches
for industrial training whereby each
boy or girl can be taught carpentry,
masonry, tailoring, shoemaking, en-
gineering, farming, housekeeping,
sewing, bookkeeping, music, each in
a professional manner. I feel and
am confident that better results
would accure from your efforts.

I suppose that some of us have
observed the Mohammedan teach-
ings. They teach their scholars
medicine, horoscoping and such
other sciences as enable them to earn
a reasonable livelihood. So in order
to convince the heathen of the supe-
riority of Christianity, we must give
at least equal advantages to those
who adopt our religion in order to
induce their heathen brothers to
emulate their examples. Education
upon a higher basis is in great de-
mand, and it would not be amiss for
missionary schools to adopt an aca-
demic, or a high school or even a
college course and we will soon see
the mighty change for improvement
which will follow.

As ambassadors, missionaries hold
a responsible position because every
act, and every word of an ambas-
sador is weighed. A single act of
his may destroy all of his usefulness
as a Christian teacher. There are
some missionaries who, it is sad to
say, have done far greater damage
by sowing seeds of discord in the
minds of the heathen children than
they ever dreamed of, and in a way
they considered inspiring, by instill-
ing into their minds that they are

superior to the governing class, and
by making such a marked distinc-
tion between the two, that they
become enemies instead of being
united, and in the end great dis-
turbances grow out of their teach-
ings which might not have been
taken in the light in which they were
intended. I say this in order that
you should guard against such evils
when you launch out upon actual
service in the interior where there
lies before you a great harvest only
awaiting the reapers.

Remember when sending out mis-
sionaries into the interior, that you
send out proper persons ; persons
who are willing to lay aside the
pleasures of life and consecrate their
lives to God and devote their entire
service to the duties of this high
office.

Let us do something for Christ.
If we cannot sacrifice our lives and
devote our services in foreign fields,
or even around us, we can do some-
thing by contributing our little mite
in order to assist the work, which
will also be appreciated. May the
day soon dawn when this society
can send out such zealous mission-
aries to carry the tidings of the Gos-
pel throughout our interior, as these
our dear friends from across the
briny ocean, who have left behind
them their beloved relatives, the
friends of their childhood days, their
homes with all their comforts and
pleasures, and have so willingly and
so freely sacrificed all these to come
here to do service for Christ and to
educate our children.

Dear friends, do not despair, for
there is no one that has left house,
parents, brethren, or friends who
shall not receive manifold more in
this present time, and in the world
to come, life everlasting.

I thank you both in behalf of my-
self and supporters for this oppor-
tunity of serving you and for the
privilege of expressing myself.

GOING THROUGH THE CANAL

A WEEK’S IMPRESSIONS OF THE
PANAMA MISSIONS

By the Reverend Halsey Werlein, Jr.

TO a man serving his second dec-
ade in the ministry of the
Church who in all the years has
gained no experience save such as
can come to the rector of parishes,
the sudden call to become a mission-
ary has in it certain elements of
excitement. I confess to something
akin to terror when upon opening a
telegram I read : “Offer you tem-
porary appointment Canal Zone.

If you can go, leave first
steamer from New Orleans and re-
port to Carson. . . . Answer by

wire quick. A. W. Knight.” I had
formed set notions concerning mis-
sionaries and the qualities essen-

tial to their success. In a summer's
vacation in the Orient I had dropped
in on several of these frontiersmen
of the Kingdom to admire ever after-
wards their quiet strength, their
calm, subtle influence and their in-
difference to the anxieties of ordi-
nary flesh and blood. I felt equal
to shouldering none of their prob-
lems; I preached missions with
greater confidence, but I was sure
that I belonged in the beaten tracks
at home.

I seemed, however, to read a note
of urgency in Bishop Knight’s tele-
gram. To “report to Carson” was
a simple task in itself, but the words

A Week’s Impressions of Panama

loomed before me until they as-
sumed the importance of the com-
mand to “carry the message to Gar-
cia”. And now, eighteen days after
the Western Union envelope was
placed in my hand, I am seated on a
high screened porch with the Ancon
Hospital at my back and before me,
through the waving fronds of cocoa-
nut palms, the broad sweep of the
Pacific. Eight of those eighteen
days have been spent in the delight-
ful task of being broken in by Arch-
deacon Carson.

I find most of my ideas of mis-
sions and of missionaries overturned.
I had pictured the workers, beneath
their brave exteriors, as patient and
weary souls, exhausted by their in-
ability to find points of attack in
their missionary campaign. It is
true that I had no reason to believe
the Church’s representatives at Ma-
nila and Shanghai and Tokyo such;
but I regarded them as exceptions
and continued to hold my earlier no-
tion. I had visions of loneliness and
gloom, so many knots of salt water
from home. I could feel in antici-
pation the slow atrophy of unused
intellectual faculties. It has taken
less than the octave of days to re-
move all these illusions. Mission-
ary work is nothing on earth but
the old parochial work heightened,
intensified, melodramatised.

The missionary does not have
time to get lonely. But, apart from
the demands of the work, he finds
everywhere, I fancy, countrymen
who have preceded him conspiring
against the slightest symptoms on
his part of monophobia. The doc-
tor from the quarantine station
in the inspection of the arriving
steamer begins to put him through
the customary questionnaire, but
upon the instant that he learns the
man before him is a clergyman of
the Church cries out, “A friend !”
and extends his hand. The customs
officers are courteous to all honest-

appearing passengers ; they are af-
fable to the missionary, taking care
that he receive at once the letter of
welcome from his archdeacon friend.
He no sooner gets to the hotel than
the archdeacon rushes from the train
that has borne him across the Isth-
mus to greet and take in hand the
new recruit. The two then lunch —
not at the impersonal hotel but at
the hospitable residence of another
missionary, in whose absence on va-
cation the white-haired, gracious sis-
ter presides as hostess. And after
the newcomer is settled in the arch-
deacon’s house on the Pacific and
the fact of his arrival is published
in the newspaper, come additional
words of welcome over the ’phone
from other towns of the Zone in the
voices of friends made in the states
many years ago. When, moreover,
the missionary makes his round of
calls on the governor, the general,
and other dignitaries of the govern-
ment, he discovers staff officers
whom he has met in his travels or
who have been with his brothers in
the army. And all he meets share
with him the fate of being far from
home. To understand the warmth
of Christian brotherhood one must
become a missionary.

Such cheer and such fellowship
he inherits, of course, from the gen-
eration or more of predecesors who
have lent dignity to his calling. It
humbles him while it makes him
rejoice in their sacrifices. It seems
unfair that he should be known
where they labored for recognition,
that he should immediately take part
in a charming social life to which
they for years, perhaps, were stran-
gers. But such is the missionary’s
fate in the Canal Zone and in the
Republic of Panama. And, al-
though it 'is true that his work is
only half of it foreign and the rest
is performed among his own com-
patriots, it probably is a fair sample
of what his co-workers experience

everywhere. Thanks to the conse-
cration of hundreds of holy lives and
to the inerrancy of the law by which
the upholders of the. flag follow the
bearers of the cross, it is hardly pos-
sible nowadays to get so far from
the Church’s centers of population
as to find oneself totally banished
from companionships affording at
least a passable substitute for home.

The recruit is thus rescued at the
very beginning from nostalgia. He
cannot, however, escape bewilder-
ment. He is bewildered, not by the
difficulty of learning where to com-
mence his campaign, but by his in-
ability to understand how the short-
handed staff in the field are able to
accomplish so many of the tasks
that clamor to be done. Two white
and two Negro clergymen have car-
ried through a labor in this area of
five hundred square miles that
would baffle the brawn and brain of
as many sons of Hercules. Arch-
deacon Carson alone baptizes some
six hundred souls and officiates at

some two hundred burials annually,
and has been keeping up under his
duties for eight years. In this week
just past I have not been able to pre-
serve a record of half his ministra-
tions. I only know that he has made
the rounds of hospitals, that he has
solemnized marriages and conducted
funerals almost daily, that he has
received numerous official callers,
and that the only time to which he
can claim title is from ten at night
to six in the morning.

And no clergyman of the Canal
Zone could fear any possibility of
mental relaxation in this work. If
he thinks he could, I challenge him
to preach to the congregation of
Saint Luke’s at Ancon. I do not
want to be personal ; it is enough to
say that the speaker at Saint
Luke’s must face weekly many
whose names are household words
in the states. At Saint Luke’s we
have over a hundred children in the
Sunday-school, taught by a staff of
trained instructors in that tho-

ANCON HOSPITAL, PANAMA CANAL ZONE

SAINT PAUL’S CHURCH PANAMA

roughly modern and expensive
system of text books known as the
“Christian Nurture” series. When
the ministrant hears the volunteer
choir of Saint Luke’s — it’s pride and
joy — and confronts the honorables
and excellencies that compose its
congregation he has great difficulty
in believing himself a missionary.

It is, accordingly, good for him
to accompany Archdeacon Carson in
some of his other multifarious activ-
ity. My first duty was to preach to
the leper colony at Palo Seco. Any
clergyman who has read R. L. S.
on Father Damien has a desire at
one time or another to proclaim the
gospel message to this forlorn and
forsaken class. To do so, simple as
it is, is to be following a little more
closely in the steps of Him Who
not only had compassion on the
multitude but Who also visited the
outcast and unclean. Archdeacon
Carson has been bearing sweetness
and light to these poor people for
five years, during four of which he
has been their sole pastor. We
boarded the government launch

from the Balboa docks at seven-
forty-five on the Friday morning
after my arrival. I shall never for-
get the freight that went with us —
a pyramid of bright and shining
garbage cans reflecting the glare and
some of the heat of the early sun ;
or our landing through the surf,
when we had to watch for the oppor-
tune moment and make a leap and
dash for the dry shore ; or the ring-
ing of the bell that heralded our
arrival and announced the hour of
worship. The approach to the col-
ony by way of the Pacific entrance
to the Canal and around a wooded
headland in the long groundswell of
the western ocean lost interest in
our contemplation of Palo Seco it-
self, rising in shaded terraces above
the beach. After vesting — a cassock
of Russell cord suitable for Trinity
Church, San Jose, California, is at
best unseasonable for the tropics,
but it was all I had — we took our
places in the well-appointed little
chapel. Archdeacon Carson could
not have realised the effect of the
opening hymn upon my emotions, I

A Week’s Impressions of Panama

am certain, or he would have se-
lected something less overwhelming
to a new missionary on a sentimen-
tal journey than the stanzas begin-
ning, “Pass me not, O gentle Sav-
iour”. When the voices of these un-
homed sufferers rose in those plain-
tive notes, I was borne back through
the centuries to the Judean highroad
and beheld the white robes of One in
His royal progress and heard the
miserere of others like these before
me beseeching the Great Physician
to pause; and something not per-
spiration mingled in the little puddle
that streamed from my chin to the
floor. All the afflicted joined in
the refrain in accents of a joyous
faith — the bass who had sung in the
cathedral of the Barbadoes among
them. And then I came to realize
that they were singing to One Who
heard, Who was not absent, Who
was in some way answering their
prayer. It was that knowledge that
gave me heart to address them on
the text, “Be strong and of a good
courage ; be not afraid, neither be
thou dismayed : for the Lord thy
God is with thee whithersoever thou
goest”.

We stood at the door bowing and
speaking to the worshippers as they
returned to their quarters, and
afterwards we made the round of
the wards where the more advanced
patients were bedridden. I have
envied Archdeacon Carson his fluent
Spanish on a number of occasions —
such as visits to the thoroughly
Panamanian hospital of Santo
Tomas and to the pungent city
market — but I have never envied
him so much as then. Half of these
lepers do not understand English.

We returned to beautiful Ancon
feeling very grateful to these
friendly souls. Both of us were con-
scious of the tremendous, almost
Gargantuan joke of the visitation:
they supposed that we were minis-
tering to them!

Since this is a sentimental jour-
ney, I must not omit my first im-
pressions of Saint Paul’s, Panama,
which, as many of my readers know,
is a large concrete structure devoted
to West Indian Negroes. Three
flags hang side by side from the
heavy wide beams of its nave, the
British, the American, and the Pan-
amanian. The congregation is or-
ganised very much as an American
parish, but its communicants are
different from American Negroes.
They are better educated, for one
thing : the enthusiasm American

Negroes feel for revivals, for noise
and excitement, they give undemon-
stratively but loyally to the Church.
I was surprised to find the church
nearly full a half-hour before the
time of service and quite full, with
groups also looking through the
windows, when we marched in sing-
ing the processional. I have never
heard such singing as that rising
from the throats of nearly a thou-
sand Negroes that Sunday night.
As I faced them from the east wall
of the sanctuary, first I felt a sort
of spinal thrill that seized later on
my heartstrings; then my eyes be-
came blurred, and I lost the sense
of all reality, at least of workaday
reality. I seemed no longer within
the confines of wood and stone, for
here, surely, was a great white
throne. I gazed down upon the
masses of dusky faces, and they ap-
peared to reflect the radiance; they
were the choristers of the mighty
throne room ; they were angels, yel-
low angels and brown angels and
black angels; the shining objects
waving before me in time with the
music ceased to be fans, but were
wings, gauzy, diaphanous, celestially
bright.

The pale blue of the Pacific be-
yond the red and brown rooftops
of Panama City and the shimmer
and rustle of the palm fronds make
me realize once more that I am on

A Week*s Impressions of Panama

the earth — in a very lovely and be-
witching nook of it. I am convinced
that here the Church has a sublime
opportunity, which, I fear, She has
ignored too dismally in the past.
Here at Ancon we worship in Saint
Luke’s Chapel ; our right to do so
lies in- Archdeacon Carson’s tenure
of the hospital chaplaincy. Al-
though the chapel seats hardly
more than a hundred and fifty
adults, it provides the only services
in the Zone for the white communi-
cants of the Church. There are sub-
stantial and large churches here be-
longing to the Baptists, the Union-
ists, and the Roman Catholics. We
have some equipment for work
among the West Indian Negroes;
we have only, this chapel for our
own people. The congregation of
Saint Luke’s, despite their present
handicap, are thoroughly aroused to
the opportunity. Our location at
Ancon is excellent ; we are central
for residents of Panama City and
of Balboa, while the bulk of our
membership lives at Ancon almost
within sight of the diminutive stee-
ple. But I for one cannot suppose
that the enthusiasm of the mem-
bers will continue permanently in
the present discouraging church
plant.

If the question be asked, why can-
not the communicants of Saint
Luke’s build for themselves a
worthy place of worship, the answer
is obvious. There are hardly more
than a hundred of them at present
under these difficult, depressing con-
ditions. Most of them, while well-
to-do and generous, are salaried
people ; they represent the brains
rather than the fortunes of the
States. They are here not for life
but for a limited number of years,
at the conclusion of which other
Churchmen will take their place.
When the appeal is made they will
do their utmost.

But here, for the national Church,
is an opportunity seldom equalled.
The Canal Zone is a lasting Ameri-
can possession. The city of Pan-
ama-Ancon-Balboa will endure. And
here among the intelligent, selected
citizens that form our population
there will always be many hunger-
ing for the ministrations of the
Mother Church of the English-
speaking race.

What an opportunity for some
large-hearted, liberal lover of Amer-
ican institutions and of the Church
that has created and fostered them
to place here for God and for his
own people a permanent memorial !

A GROUP OF THE CLERGY SERVING IN THE INDIAN FIELD OF SOUTH DAKOTA

THE ENCAMPMENT, NIOBRARA CONVOCATION, 1919

PICTURES OF THE NIOBRARA CONVOCATION

By Bishop Remington

Niobrara is a little town on

the Nebraska side of the Mis-
sion, about opposite its Anglicized
mate “Running Water” — an even
smaller village. It was at Running
Water that I took a flat-boat one
spring morning, in great anxiety to
cross the Missouri to Niobrara be-
fore the ice came down the river.
Like Nazareth, one might wonder if
any good thing could come out of
Niobrara, and yet that name also
has been one by which and through
which a great nation has been con-
quered for the Christ. The great
Bishop Hare was first “Bishop of
Niobrara”, and today when the
greatest gathering of Christian In-
dians in America assembles we bear
testimony to the name by calling it
the “Niobrara Convocation”.

Ever since I was a boy in the Sun-
day-school at Holy Trinity Church,
Philadelphia, I had been hearing
about this great gathering of the
Dakotas from the lips of Bishop
Hare, and then in my early ministry
from Bishop Johnson and Bishop
Biller. When called to minister to

these people as their suffragan bish-
op, I kept saying to myself : “Now at
last I will go to a Niobrara Convo-
cation”. And I was not disappointed
in my expectations. The spirits of
the missionaries to the Dakotas
brooded there, some of them with a
living voice, and some with the
manifestation of their presence in
the blessed Communion of the
Saints.

Wakpala, the scene of this year’s
convocation, is not far from Mo-
bridge — a twelve - year - old town
which boasts the largest and finest
hotel in South Dakota, and is a
place which bids fair to become the
most enterprising city in northwest-
ern South Dakota. At Wakpala we
have Saint Elizabeth’s school for
Indian boys and girls, and it was
there that the two bishops and
their wives established themselves
in “the palace”, a three roomed
cottage with bath ; the home of
Deaconess Baker during the lonely
months of her consecrated labors.
The water at Saint Elizabeth’s is
good for bathing, beyond question,

The Niobrara Convocation

BISHOPS BURLESON AND REMINGTON

but for drinking purposes it tastes
too much of the salt which loses
not its savour, and the sulphur
which dies not. As we drove up
to the high plateau upon which the
school buildings stand in an orderly
row, we looked across the valley and
there on another high plateau was
the circle of tents of our Dakotas.
They had sprung up like mush-
rooms and they would fade away as
quickly, but now at a distance of
about a mile as the crow flies one
could see the busy preparations ;
wagons filled with all the parapher-
nalia of the camp, with men, women
and children crowded in and faith-
ful Sunka, the dog, trailing along
behind; “Fords” and automobiles
honking their way between guy
ropes ; Indians everywhere on ponies
carrying messages. In the center
was the big booth made in truly
cruciform shape, fashioned as Moses
must have fashioned the first taber-
nacle— out of trees, with branches
for a roof — a shelter from the sun,
though not from rain in this land

of nearly perpetual sunshine. Near-
by was the women’s tent, where the
women congregated, squatting on
the ground according to their cus-
tom.

Let me say at the very beginning
that I have never heard any group
of people stand on their feet and talk
with as little self-consciousness, and
with greater powers of natural ora-
tory and graceful gesture. The men
particularly are excellent actors, so
that with the most meagre knowl-
edge of their tongue, I could often
sense their meaning by their sign
language. The women speak with-
out gesture.

This is an impressionistic picture
I am trying to give. I am not go-
ing to report the minutes of the
meetings, nor even the good things
that were said. I want you to catch
the high lights and the shadows, and
envisage the atmosphere of the meet-
ings. If I were making titles to
chapters they would read something
like this : I. “How a Wise Bishop
Leads his Flock”, II. “Soldiers of the
Country and Soldiers of the Cross”,
III. “How Blind Siopa Found the
Light”, IV. “Tipi Sapa’s Reward”,
V. “An Offering of Men”, VI.
“Gloria in Excelsis”. Let me go on
then with my chapters and help
you to see the rough painting I am
making.

Bishop Burleson, our wise and
great leader among the Dakotas, is
one well qualified for the task the
Church has set him. If I had not
loved and trusted him before, this
convocation would have determined
my convictions. He came with no
small knowledge of Indian charac-
ter and customs, and in the three
years he has been laboring among
the Dakotas, he has shown untiring
energy, great patience and wise
leadership. He moves forward
slowly, with all the facts in hand ;

PREPARING THE FEAST

he plans largely, and above all he
has the happy gift of expressing
himself in terms understood of his
people. His very presence is evi-
dence of cheerful faith and calm,
impartial judgment. As the sun-
light drifted through the boughs of
the booth, with his greying hair and
tanned straight features, robed in
the scarlet which the Indians love,
he made a picture not to be forgot-
ten, as he pleaded with his Dakotas
to stand for the high ideals of their
Christian teaching and heritage.
Among other wise things the bishop
has done is the course he has pur-
sued with the missionaries of long
service in the field. He has sought
their counsel and advice in many
matters and where possible has
put the responsibilities upon their
shoulders. Dr. Ashley, archdeacon
in the Indian field, is a tower of
strength. With his experience of
over forty years in this field, and his
intimate knowledge of the language

and history of the Dakotas, he is
invaluable. He too is an unforget-
able figure in any Niobrara convo-
cation. He illumines every discus-
sion with quaint humor, and
straightens out many difficulties
with his keen insight and fair-
minded dealing.

II.

There have been many “home
comings” of the soldiers on the res-
ervations, and some I fear which
have done more harm than good,
for the revival of pagan dances and
feasts have not lent themselves to
Christian self-respect. The service
of thanksgiving for the return of our
Indian soldiers at convocation was
therefore both an object lesson and
an inspiration. Having been a chap-
lain in the war, I was given charge
of this service. Can you see some
twenty Dakotas in the uniform of
their country receiving a charge
from their Bishop “Akicita” (soldier)
to lift high the standard of the Cross
39

The Niobrara Convocation

“TIPI SAPA”

and to be as faithful under that
banner as they were under the Stars
and Stripes. Over two hundred dol-
lars was given at this service as a
thank-offering by the parents of
these boys. One woman came with
three dollars in her hand. Three
boys she had, one still abroad, an-
other in this country, and another in
that other country where all faith-
ful soldiers of Christ come at last.
No one can know the blessedness
of giving until he has been to a Nio-
brara Convocation.

III.

“How Blind Siopa Found the
Light” should be a chapter of real
interest had I space to dwell upon
it. Samuel Simley (Siopa) was a
faithful helper under Bishop Hare.
He is seventy-three years old and
totally blind. Some one found out
that he was in need, and so it was
decided to give him a “handshake”
— that means “passing the hat’' in
the Indian language. In no time
twenty-six dollars was put into his

trembling hands, a sum which would
keep him three months with the
little he already has. He was led
in holding on to a stick, with his
hands encased in white cotton work-
ing gloves. He stood before us
trembling with excitement. I could
not forbear telling them the story
of the two Scotchmen in the Great
War. A shell blinded one and
wounded the other severely in the
legs. One said, “I cannot walk”,
and the other, “I cannot see”, so the
legless man got on the back of the
blind and was eyes for him as he
carried his comrade back of the lines.
By a ”handshake” his comrades be-
came eyes to Siopa, and his legs
went on their way rejoicing.

IV.

“Tipi Sapa” is the Dakota name
for the Reverend Philip Deloria. He
is the priest-in-charge of the work
on Standing Rock reservation where
we were holding the convocation.
For thirty-six years he has been a
faithful pastor and teacher to his
people. The son of a medicine man
and a chief of his tribe, he was con-
verted in the early days by the sing-
ing of a hymn “Guide me, O Thou
Great Jehovah”. You should hear
him sing that hymn still, with head
thrown back and eyes closed, and
with the fervour still of a converted
man. No need to ask Tipi Sapa to
be faithful to his calling. He is
known and loved by every one of
the Dakotas and is perhaps the out-
standing figure among our Indian
priests. As evidence of their love
and recognition for his long ser-
vice he was presented with a purse
which totalled over six hundred
dollars. Quite a handshake? Yes!
But his reward was not monetary,
and he knew it. He first turned
towards the altar and thanked God
for giving him the Light, and then
thanked his people for their gener-
osity.

The Niobrara Convocation

“An offering of men” is a chapter
on recruits for the ministry. One
deacon and two priests were ordain-
ed, while seventeen helpers and cate-
chists were set apart by a special
service. It was a fitting expression
of the spirit of giving. I would to
God it were as easy to find recruits
for the ministry in the white field !
Not many great, not many with a
fine theological training, but fit in-
struments were these for their spec-
ial fields. The Church must ask
for the best and we will get them
among the Dakotas, for all honor
the work of the ministry, though
the salary we pay would look insig-
nificant to a carpenter or a brick-
layer in these days.

And now we come to the climax
of the convocation ; but before that
I must mention a kindly and gener-
ous thing the Dakotas did. Miss
Francis, the first teacher at Saint
Elizabeth’s School, one who was

much loved and who served long,
was present. In the most graceful
fashion the Dakotas gave her a
“handshake” of one hundred dol-
lars, in loving thankfulness for her
life and service, and her spirit, still
young, renewed its vigor in the lov-
ing thoughts of her old friends.

The Gloria in Excelsis was the
final act of presenting the offering.
The women and children came with
theirs in their hands to give the
bishop. One woman brought it in
a wonderful beaded bag which she
explained belonged to their treas-
urer who had died. This is their
invariable custom, when the treas-
urer dies her beaded bag must go
to the bishop. When the checks
and the dollars and the pennies were
all counted it was discovered that
the women had given over five
thousand dollars ; the men twelve
hundred, so that with thank offer-
ings and “handshakes” the total ex-
ceeded seven thousand dollars.

Well could we sing; “Glory to
God in the highest and peace among
men in whom God is well pleased”.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF MISSIONS

AT its meeting in the Church Mis-
sions House on December 10,
1919, the Board of Missions said its
“Nunc Dimittis”, leaving behind it
an honorable record of sixteen years
of faithful service. Under Canon 60
the Board of Missions ceased to ex^
ist on December 31st. This last
meeting therefore was of special sig-
nificance and many matters came be-
fore the twenty-nine elected mem-
bers who were present.

In opening the meeting the chair-
man, Bishop Lloyd, made an address
which will be found on page 5.

On motion of Mr. Mansfield a
committee of three prepared the fol-
lowing minute, which was unani-
mously adopted :

Hampshire in place of Bishop R. H.
Nelson of Albany, who has resigned.
The Reverend Dr. G. C. Stewart of
Evanston, Illinois, was elected in the
place of the Reverend E. E. Cobbs
of Nashville. Mr. George Gordon
King was given a place among the
laymen on the Board and Mr. Lewis
B. Franklin was made treasurer in
his stead. Only one change was
made in the provinces, the Reverend
Dr. R. F. Alsop being appointed
from the Province of New York and
New Jersey.

On the nomination of Mr. Frank-
lin, Mr. Charles A. Tompkins was
elected assistant treasurer and Mr.
James W. Henry second assistant
treasurer for the balance of the year.

For twenty years Arthur Selden Lloyd has led this Church in her mis-
sionary work. Under that leadership that work has grown to proportions
little contemplated at the beginning of his service. His leadership has been
characterized by a spirituality and a vision, growing out of the deepest
religious convictions. In all places where this Church has gone his influence
has been exerted for the better and nobler things of life and for the extension
of the Kingdom, because he has realized that such was God’s will, that only
through the operation of that will can men be brought to Christ and that only
as we can mould men’s spiritual nature and build up their character can
they be made free.

Bishop Lloyd’s devotion to the Church’s Mission has been to us a per-
petual inspiration. With the keenest appreciation of his long service and
gratitude to God that he has been permitted to give these years to the
Church and that we have been permitted to share in his leadership, we part
from him now, owing to conditions which a new method and a new organiza-
tion have created for conducting our missionary work, with the assurance
of our highest regard and admiration and with a love and respect which
years of companionship and mutual fellowship have but intensified and
strengthened.

Theodore D. Bratton,
Carroll M. Davis,

Burton Mansfield.

As a matter of routine, General
Convention had elected a new
Board, the personnel of which was
almost identical with the old one.
The only changes made were the
election of Bishop Burch of New
York in place of the late Bishop
Greer and Bishop Parker of New

The Woman’s Auxiliary in De-
troit nominated Miss Grace Lindley
executive secretary for three years.
This nominatio nthe Board con-
firmed unanimously. Miss Emily C.
Tillotson was elected educational
secretary, and Mrs. George Biller or-
ganizing escretary, of the Auxiliary.

THE REVEREND A. B. HUNTER AND MRS. HUNTER WITH THE NURSES OF
SAINT AGNES’S HOSPITAL

Mr. Franklin, as treasurer of the
Nation-Wide Campaign, gave a
summary of the reports so far re-
ceived from the field, showing how
splendidly the Church has taken hold
of the plan. The Board expressed
its appreciation of the untiring work
of all the members of the staff
and especially recorded its thanks
to the Reverend Dr. R. W. Pat-
ton, national director, the Reverend
L. G. Wood, vice-director, the Rev-
erend R. Bland Mitchell, manager of
the centrol office, the Reverend W.
H. Milton, D.D., the Reverend R. F.
Gibson, the Reverend J. I. Yellott,
D.D., Mr. Lewis B. Franklin, Mr.
Benjamin F. Finney and Bishop
George C. Hunting, head of the
Pacific Coast office. It also by
unanimous vote expressed its special
sense of obligation to Dr. Patton in
the following resolution :

Resolved, That the Board would place
on record its special sense of obligation
to the Reverend R. W. Patton, D.D.,
who has for a decade past worked out
the plans of the missionary campaign
which has just been extended to the en-
tire nation. It feels that it is largely
due to his unflagging faith in this plan

as a means of stimulating the whole
Church in all its departments, and his
indefatigable efforts to bring the plan
to bear upon the Church and make oth-
ers see what he had already fully real-
ized, that the* present national movement
was brought about.

Mrs. A. B. Hunter, who for over
twenty-five years has been con-
nected with Saint Augustine’s
School and Saint Agnes’s Hospital
in Raleigh, N. C., has felt compelled
to resign. The Board passed the fol-
lowing resolution in recognition of
this long and faithful service :

Resolved, That, in accepting the resig-
nation of Mrs. A. B. Hunter as superin-
tendent and treasurer of Saint Agnes’s
Hospital, Raleigh, N. C., to date from
November 6, 1919, the Board wishes to
place on record its grateful apprecia-
tion of the valuable service, involving
much painstaking effort and self-sacri-
fice which Mrs. Hunter has given not
only to Saint Agnes’s Hospital, but to
Saint Augustine’s School during her
connection with them for about a quar-
ter of a century.

At the request of Bishop Colmore,
provision was made for an addi-
tional clergyman in All Saints’ par-
ish, Charlotte Amalia, on the island
of Saint Thomas, V. I.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

ON the day preceding the Board
meeting the Executive Com-
mittee met. Several appointments
were made. Deaconess Josephine
Peterson goes as U. T. O. worker in
the diocese of Quincy. Mr. Edward
Harrison King, Jr., will be an in-
structor in Saint John’s University,
Shanghai, and the Reverend Dr.
James W. Morris, rector of Monu-
mental Church, Richmond, Virginia,
has accepted the position of house-
master and dean of the theological
school at Porto Alegre, Brazil, for
three years. Dr. Morris was one of
the pioneers in planting our Church
in Brazil and his thorough acquaint-
ance with the language and people
make him a valuable acquisition.

The resignation of the Reverend
A. W. Cooke, Ph.D., for twenty
years a member of the Tokyo mis-
sion, was accepted with regret.

Out of the 260,000 inhabitants of
the Hawaiian Islands, some 110,000

are Japanese. Bishop Restarick
feels that the condition calls for se-
rious consideration and he has asked
that a survey be made of the Jap-
anese work. Dr. Joseph S. Motoda,
D.D., the headmaster of Saint Paul’s
College, Tokyo, is eminently fitted
to do this and with the consent of
Bishop McKim he is about to under-
take the survey.

Bishop Thurston, who is now in
charge of the united districts of Ok-
lahoma and Eastern Oklahoma, re-
ported that after going over the
budget for 1920 carefully he felt that
a reduction amounting to $6,300
might be made in the total amount
without injury to the work. This
suggestion was much appreciated.

The committee also expressed its
appreciation of the work done by
Bishops Touret, Page and Thurston,
in taking charge of the vacant dis-
tricts of Utah, Idaho and Eastern
Oklahoma.

THE PRESIDING BISHOP AND COUNCIL

THE second meeting of the Pre-
siding Bishop and Council was
held at the Church Missions House,
New York City, December 11, 1919.
Those present were Bishop Gailor,
president, Bishops Brown, Lines,
and T. I. Reese; the Reverend Drs.
Freeman, Mann, Milton and Stires;
Messrs. Stephen Baker, William M.
Baldwin, John S. Bryan, Burton
Mansfield, Samuel Mather, Arthur
E. Newbold, Harper Sibley, and
Lewis B. Franklin, ex-officio treas-
urer. Mr. Julien T. Davies was also
present upon request in order to give
legal advice.

The relationship between the Do-
mestic and Foreign Missionary So-
ciety and the Presiding Bishop and
Council occupied the careful consid-

eration of the meeting, as it had
already received consideration at the
hands of the society itself and its
counsel. Judge Davies stated there
would be no legal change in the Do-
mestic and Foreign Missionary So-
ciety or in its Board of Directors,
but that on and after January 1,
1920, the Presiding Bishop and
Council would automatically become
the Board of Directors of the Do-
mestic and Foreign Missionary So-
ciety, thereby filling the places of
previous directors whose terms of
office expired on that date. The
Domestic and Foreign Missionary
Society, being a duly incorporated
body under the laws of the state of
New York, will continue in exist-
ence as a receiving and holding or-

ganization. It will be its functiofl
to receive such funds as may be spe-
cifically left to it, or such funds as
may come under the control of the
Presiding Bishop and Council. Alt
funds therefore to be expended un-
der the direction of the Presiding
Bishop and Council through its de-
partments of Missions and Church
Extension, of Religious Education,
of Christian Social Service, of Fi-
nance, of Publicity, and of any other
department to be created, shall be
held by the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society. In this connec-
tion it was made clear that any funds
left to the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society might in the fu-
ture, as in the past, be designated
for the use of any of the departments
under the control of the Presiding
Bishop and Council.

Having cleared up this legal tech-
nicality, the Council addressed itself
to other matters. It was

Resolved , That it is the sense of the
Presiding Bishop and Council that the
work of the Joint Commission on the
Nation-Wide Campaign properly comes
within the scope of the work entrusted
to the Presiding Bishop and Council by
Canon 60, and be it further

Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Presiding Bishop and Council that the
work of the Joint Commission on the
Nation-Wide Campaign be continued
as a general policy of the Presiding
Bishop and Council and carried out
through a department to be organized
for that purpose.

The object of this, resolution was
to continue the inspiring and splen-
did work of the Nation-Wide Cam-
paign under the direction of its pres-
ent managers and departments, and
at the same time to affiliate this work
with the Presiding Bishop and
Council so that there will be no
duplication of effort.

The Presiding Bishop and Council
heard with great satisfaction of the
continued activity and support of
the Woman’s Auxiliary, which had
voted to be known hereafter as “The
Woman’s Auxiliary to the Presiding

Bishop and Council”, and Bishop
Gailor was authorized to thank the
Auxiliary.

A resolution was passed authoriz-
ing the treasurer until further no-
tice, to continue to pay the definite
and existing obligations already in-
curred by the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society, the General
Board of Religious Education, and
the Joint Commission on Social Ser-
vice. The effect of this resolution is
to carry on the work uninterrupt-
edly and to assure the regular pay-
ment of salaries and other obliga-
tions already incurred.

The following additional members
of the department of Missions and
Church Extension were elected :
Bishops Burch of New York and
Francis of Indianapolis, the Rever-
end Dr. Manning of New York and
Dean Davis of Saint Louis, Messrs.
Julien T. Davies of New York and
George Gordon King of Rhode
Island, and Mrs. Loaring Clark of
Tennessee.

The following were elected as ad-
ditional members of the department
of Social Service : Bishop Brewster
of Connecticut, the Reverend Dr.
Bowie of Richmond, Va., the
Messrs. John M. Glenn of New York
and Clinton R. Woodruff of Phila-
delphia.

The following were elected as ad-
ditional members of the department
of Publicity: Bishop Johnson (Colo-
rado), editor “The Witness”; the
Reverend E. L. Goodwin, D.D., edi-
tor “The Southern Churchman” ;
the Reverend Beverley D. Tucker,
Jr., Virginia Theological Seminary;
the Reverend R. F. Gibson (Macon,
Ga.), Editorial and Publicity depart-
ment, Nation-Wide Campaign; the
Reverend Austin Smith, editor “The
Churchman” ; Mr. F. C. Morehouse,
editor “The Living Church” ; Mr.
William Hoster, publicity expert.

The next meeting will take place
in New York, January 8, 1920.

OUR LETTER BOX

Intimate and Informal Messages from the Field

WILLING TO BE TOWED TO THEIR VILLAGES

The many friends of our veteran missionary
in Alaska, the Reverend John W. Chapman,
D.D., of Anvik, will be glad. to read of progress
in the erection of his new dwelling, and to
have this opportunity of accompanying him in
a summer journey. Under date of September
twelfth, Dr. Chapman writes :

THE bishop and Dr. Stuck left us
on the 5th of August. On the
afternoon of that day, we began
tearing down the old house. It came
down, literally, over our heads.
Within three days we were comfort-
ably settled in the temporary quar-
ters that we expect to occupy until
the new house is ready. In just one
week from the time when the work-
men began tearing down the old

house, the sills of the new house
were laid and construction had be-
gun. At this date, less than six
weeks from the beginning of the
work, the log walls of the new
building are completed, the roof is
within three or four hours of being
completed, and the floor joists are
being laid.

Beside the actual work of build-
ing, the sawmill has been kept in
operation during a good part of the
time. Many of the neighbors, both
native and white, have been desirous
of getting lumber, and many rafts
have been brought in, to be sawed

Our Letter Box

MANY RAFTS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN

on shares. This insures much more
lumber than we shall need to com-
plete the building. The indications
are, that we shall be able to get logs
enough in this manner, to provide
for another building.

The rafts brought by the natives
contain more and better logs than
ever before. There were three rafts
of sixty fine logs each. One enter-
prising young fellow wishes to bring
150 logs to be sawed on shares, as
soon as the next season opens. The
loss of much fish during the rainy
season that we had this year, has
made the natives, generally, dcsir-
ious of building smoke houses, and
this takes much lumber.

When I saw the building going on
well, I took Isaac Fisher with me
and made a visit to the Shageluk
people. Many of them were living
in temporary fishing camps. Some
were out in the creeks that are tri-
butary to the Shageluk slough,
getting dry logs for steamboat fuel.
Others were herding reindeer ; and
a few were off. trapping. The

people who live at Hologochakat, in
the upper end of the slough, were
out on the Yukon, fishing, and we
saw them out there.

In two or three places we found
them in the midst of breaking camp
after the season's fishing, and willing
to be towed to their villages. The
boats, filled with men, babies, dogs,
blueberries and household stuff were
so interesting a sight that I was glad
that I had my camera and could
photograph them. Nothing quite
like it could be imagined.

We met most of the people. Some
who were absent had left directions
regarding the baptism of their chil-
dren, and two children were brought
down to the slough from the rein-
deer camp, to be baptized.

We did not see the deer, but I am
told that the herd has considerably
increased during the year. I believe
it now numbers about 500 deer.

I found the people everywhere
desirous of schooling for their chil-
dren, and for the ministrations of
the Church.

Our Letter Box

The Reverend George Backhurst went from the
diocese of Albany two and a half years ago to
take the position of general missionary and super-
intendent of Indian Missions in the diocese of
Duluth. His headquarters are at Bemidji, and
although he is only able to give the church there
one service on Sundays and one day of parochial
work each week, he has cleared the church of over
two thousand dollars’ indebtedness and installed a
new organ and altar and other furniture since he
has taken charge. A letter recently received from
him given an account of a journey in which he
accompanied Bishop Morrison on a visitation to the
northern part of the diocese last August. He says:

ON account of the General Con-
vention, and the Nation-Wide
Campaign, Bishop Morrison would not
take a vacation this year, and conse-
quently the month of August was the
only time he could allot for his visit
to this part of the diocese.

Our first service was at Wild Race
Rapids. As we came over the hill
the church bell was ringing partly in
welcome to the bishop and partly to
call together the waiting Indians.

Again we traveled another twelve
miles in the mud to Nay-tah-waush
where Evening Prayer was held.
Then to bed? Oh, no — another
twenty-two miles back to Mahnomen
so as to be ready for an early train to
Ogema, from where we were to drive
six miles to White Earth. After
morning service in this place the
bishop left us to drive thirty miles to
Detroit, where he could get a train
back to Duluth. Three days later we
met the bishop again at Bemidji and
traveled with him sixty-six miles to
Mentor, where service was held. On
the following morning another one
hundred miles to Bena, an Indian vil-
lage. We entertained hopes of getting
away again at six in the evening, but
found on arrival that the freight had
already left for the west. However,
after service a car was hired to drive
us to Cass Lake, some thirty or more
miles away. Just as we were starting
the Indian priest whispered to the
bishop that another candidate for con-
firmttion, an old man, had arrived.
He had come ten miles and must not
be disappointed. The good bishop
agreed and back we went to the little
church.

On Sunday at Cass Lake in the
morning and at Bemidji in the
evening the bishop confirmed and
preached. At noon on Monday we
boarded a logging train for Redby,
fifty miles north. In spite of a heavy
thunder storm the church was wed
filled. Then we drove six miles to
the agency for another service at the
little church which is appropriately
named Saint John's in the Wilderness.

Our next service was at Tenstrike,
where a good congregation was assem-
bled. We have no church here, but a
large guild room, formerly a saloon,
is doing good work. Early the follow-
ing day we were called to get the 5 :30
train going north. . At Northome,
forty miles away, the day was spent
in" visiting and holding classes and in
the evening service was held in the
converted Presbyterian church. The
village blacksmith conducted us to the
depot in time for the 9 :20 train going
south. The train was late, two and a
half hours, so that we arrived back at
Bemidji at two o’clock in the morning
and left again at half-past seven for
Walker, thirty-two miles south. Here
we crossed Leech Lake to Onigum.
the Indian agency where service was
held in Saint John’s Memorial Church.
After church Miss Pauline Colby en-
tertained us at lunch in her pretty
little cottage near the church. Miss
Colby is the veteran worker among the
Indians, supported by the United
Offering of the Woman’s Auxiliary.

The next Sunday found us at Pons-
ford, at the Breck Memorial Church,
where a good congregation of Indians
were assembled and the day after we
bade our genial bishop good-by.

When one travels over this field
nowadays in comparative ease, in spite
of late trains and poor roads and
stormy lakes, and thinks of the early
travels of Bishop Morrison, with no
trains or automobiles, one is filled with
admiration and respect for this strong
man of God.

THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

W. C. STURGIS, PH.D., SECRETARY

I WANT to take this opportunity
to make a suggestion regarding
the observance of the so-called “Mis-
sionary Day” in Church schools.
Heretofore, the children have col-
lected their offerings during Lent,
and have made their presentation
on or about Easter. I feel convinced
that this is a mistake. The season
of Lent is a time for self-examina-
tion and introspection. The seasons
of Advent and Epiphany, on the
other hand, are times of outgoing,
when our minds are centered on the
coming of the King. Epiphany is
peculiarly the season for giving to
the King and to His cause. I won-
der if it would not be advisable,
therefore, to select Advent as the
season during which the children
collect their offerings, and the Feast
of the Epiphany as the day of pres-
entation ? With this in view, I have
prepared two Forms of Service, one
to be used on the Sunday next before
Advent, and to be in the nature of a
service of self-dedication, the other
— a service of presentation — to be
used on the Feast of the Epiphany.
Of course, it is too late to put these
changes into effect now. The Ser-
vice of Dedication will, therefore, be
issued for use on Quinquagesima
Sunday, and it is suggested that the
Service of Presentation be used on
or about Palm Sunday. I hope,
however, that the clergy and super-
intendents of Church schools will
consider the proposed change seri-
ously, and let me have their opinion.

Hs sis sjs

In connection with our previous
course on “The Missionary Aspects
of the Bible”, I want to call atten-
tion to a book entitled “A Lawyer’s

Study of the Bible”, by Mr. Everett
P. Wheeler, a prominent lawyer of
New York. It takes up, among
other vital subjects, a consideration
of certain disturbing elements in our
social system, and applies to them
the principles of the Gospel as the
only solution. To anyone studying
the Bible in its missionary signif-
icance and as a guide for modern
life, the book will be exceedingly
valuable. The author has kindly
presented a number of copies to the
Library of the Church Missions
House, so that the book can be lent
to anyone interested in the bearing
of Christian precepts upon the pres-
ent social unrest and social progress.

An article which had a large sale
in my department at the General
Convention, was the “Game of
Home”, which we issued some years
ago, but which has never been prop-
erly advertised. It resembles the
very popular game of Parchesi in
general plan, but is missionary in
character. It would make an ad-
mirable present for a boy or a girl,
as it gives an idea of the missionary
field in a most attractive way. The
price is fifty cents, postpaid.

There has been a large demand for
the 1920 Calendar published by the
Churchwomen’s League for Patri-
otic Service. Unfortunately, the
supply is now exhausted, and copies
can no longer be secured from this
office. Small supplies were sent to
various Church booksellers in differ-
ent parts of the country, but we
have no means of replenishing our
stock, and the publication must be
regarded as now out of print.

NEWS AND NOTES

TAKEN ON THE NINETIETH BIRTHDAY OF SISTER BEATRICE

THE ninetieth birthday of Sister
Beatrice, who with Sister Al-
bertine came from England in 1867
to found Saint Andrew’s Priory,
Honolulu, was celebrated on No-
vember 1, 1919, by a reception to
which the mayor sent the municipal
band. The two venerable sisters
have never left the islands save for
one brief visit to San Francisco.
Their last night in England was
spent at the Keble rectory. What a
link with the past !

THE fund for the erection of the
first unit and auxiliary build-
ings for the Church General Hospi-
tal, Wuchang, is now complete.
This happy result is largely due to
the untiring work for the past two
years of Miss Helen Littell, the sec-
retary of the woman’s committee
which so efficiently aided the Board
in raising this fund.

THE Reverend Bertram A. War-
ren, rector of Saint Paul’s
Church, Walla Walla, Washington,
in the district of Spokane, is plan-
ning to change his method of mis-
sionary teaching and giving. It has
been the custom of the parish to in-
clude the offerings of the Church
school taken on the Sundays in Lent
with the mite-box gifts. Mr. Warren
believes it will be of greater educa-
tional value and result in larger gifts
if one Sunday or more in the six
months preceding Easter is made
“The Church for Others” Sunday.
His plan includes reaching each
member of the congregation with a
copy of “The Spirit of Missions”,
each month if possible, and to start
the mite-boxes out by October 1st,
so that an interest in missions and
an opportunity to give will go hand
in hand. We shall be interested to
know how this plan works out.

News and Notes

ON a clear, cold winter’s day
Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Erie,
Pa., was the scene of a very inspir-
ing service when the Reverend Dr.
Overs of the Church of the Ascen-
sion, Bradford, Pa., was consecrated
Bishop of Liberia on December 18,
1919. The Right Reverend Daniel
S. Tuttle, D.D., presiding bishop of
the Church, was the consecrator, as-
sisted by Bishop Darlington of Har-
risburg and Bishop Israel of Erie.
The presenting bishops were Bishop
Whitehead of Pittsburgh and
Bishop Talbot of Bethlehem.
Bishop Lloyd, the bishop-in-charge
of Liberia, was to have been the
preacher but he was held up in Buf-
falo by one of the heaviest snow-
storms on record in that part of the
country, and his place was taken by
Bishop Talbot.

SINCE it has been reported
that several packages sent by
branches of the Woman’s Auxiliary
or their friends to Saint Stephen’s
Hospital, Fort Yukon, Alaska, last
summer, have not been acknowl-
edged, Archdeacon Stuck asks us to
say that he was present when the
large shipment of summer mail ar-
rived and that some of it was in such
bad condition that the marks show-
ing the origin of the packages were
torn off or obliterated by moisture
so that it was impossible to identify
them. It is believed that all pack-
ages sent were received in one con-
dition or another, and those who
sent gifts and have had no acknowl-
edgment are asked to accept this
explanation of an unintentional
neglect.

SOME who were present at the
General Convention of 1913 in
New York may remember the Rev-
erend F. A. K. Russell, the delegate
from Liberia, whose appeal for his
people made a strong impression.
Word has just come to the Church
Missions House that the launch in

which Mr. Russell was returning to
Tobacconnee after a trip to Mon-
rovia to purchase supplies for the
school, was wrecked. No lives were
lost but several cases containing
books and other merchandise for the
mission went to the bottom and Mr.
Russell suffered severely in the loss
of his personal effects. There was
no insurance and Mr. Russell writes
that he is seriously embarrassed.

A CALL has been issued for a
World Survey Conference to be
held in Atlantic City, January 7-10.
Representatives of nearly a hundred
religious bodies are expected to be
present.^ Further particulars may be
had from Tyler Dennett, Inter-
church World Movement, 222
Fourth Avenue, New York, N. Y.

ONTIL a bishop is consecrated
for Utah that district will re-
main under the charge of Bishop
Touret, whose address is now Boise,
Idaho. Western Colorado is now
under the care of Bishop I. P. John-
son of Colorado, who may be ad-
dressed at Wolfe Hall, Denver.
Bishop Beecher has for the present
oversight of Salina. Address in-
quiries to him at Hastings, Neb.

THOSE who enjoyed the charm-
ing story of “Christmas at Ne-
nana” in the December, 1919, issue
of “The Spirit of Missions”, will
regret to hear that the author, Miss
Alice Wright, has met with a serious
accident from burning. We have
not received particulars as to how it
occurred, but her colleague in the
mission, Miss Blacknall, writing on
November 14th, says: “Miss Wright
is still in bed and the doctor thinks
she will be here at least a month
longer. The accident occurred
eleven weeks ago yesterday and she
cannot sit up or move her limbs yet.
It does seem too bad just as she was
ready to leave on her furlough!”

News and Notes

FOR the first time in its history,
the Sixth Form of Boone Uni-
versity, Wuchang, has been divided
into two sections on account of its
size. There are now seventy stu-
dents in the college department and
343 in the school department.

•b

SAINT Hilda’s School, Wuchang,
is now full to its utmost ca-
pacity and it has been found neces-
sary to make a ruling that no chil-
dren can be received below the third
grade. There are twice as many
girls in the Middle School as there
were two years ago.

SECRETARY of State Robert
Lansing has accepted the posi-
tion of chairman of the general com-
mittee of the Interchurch World
Movement of North America. In
his letter of acceptance Secretary
Lansing said : “I am highly honored
by being selected to lead so great a
movement and accept the position
with the assurance that so far as I
am able I will do my part in ad-
vancing a cause which appeals to
every man who seeks a new and
better world, founded upon the
principles of Christianity.”

WITHIN the past year the way
has been opened for work
among the Kalingas and Ifugaos,
two of the races in the mountains of
northern Luzon in the Philippines.
These are both strong, active peoples
with a love of home and cleanly
habits. Some of their young men
have been attending the Trinidad
Agricultural School at Baguio where
they have come under the influence
of our missionary, the Reverend C.
R. Wagner, who has baptized seven-
teen of them. They attend the ser-
vices at our chapel in Easter School.
It seems a pity that these promising
young men must go back to homes
where they will be deprived of the
help of a Christian environment.

CHILD Labor Day will be ob-
served throughout the country
as follows: On January 25th in the
churches, on the 26th in the schools
and on Saturday the 24th in the
synagogues. Much has been done
to do away with this plague spot of
our modern civilization, but much
still remains to do. The National
Child Labor Committee, 105 East
22nd Street, New York, N. Y., will
be glad to send information and sug-
gestions as to the possibilities of ef-
fective service in the campaign
against this still persistent evil.

T HE Reverend Joseph R. Walker
who has been in charge of
Saint Timothy’s Mission, Columbia.
S. C., for a little over a year has in
that time paid off half the debt on
the church, remodelled the parish
house, increased the Sunday school
one hundred per cent, and presented
a large class for confirmation. Mr.
Walker is anxious to make the mis-
sion a center for welfare work in the
community and to this end wishes
to secure the services of a trained
welfare worker. Bishop Guerry
commends the enterprise to any who
are interested. ,

THE executive committee of the
Ponce, P. R. branch of the
Home Service section of the Red
Cross, of which our missionary the
Reverend L. M. A. Haughwout is
chairman, issues a report showing a
very active year. Financial assist-
ance was given to the families of
soldiers in camp and to the victims
of the earthquake and influenza
epidemic. Besides the money given,
personal letters were written, pack-
ages forwarded, physicians and
medicines provided, business and
legal advice was given and many
other offices filled, too numerous to
be recorded. The nineteen rural
dispensaries which were opened
proved of great help in checking the
iivfluenza epidemic.

News and Notes

SAINT Alban’s mission, Marsh-
field, Wisconsin, in the diocese
of Fond du Lac, is on the honor roll
of the Church. With a communicant
list of seventy-four and an appor-
tionment of $152, it has sent over
$400 this year to the Board of Mis-
sions, and in addition has pledged
$100 for the work at Valle Crucis.
This is really a remarkable record
and we congratulate the vicar, the
Reverend Henry A. Link, and his
people.

FOLLOWING the precedent set
in 1860 when H. M. Edward VII
of England — then Prince of Wales —
visited this country, the New York
Bible Society presented a copy of
the Bible to his grandson, the pres-
ent Prince of Wales, during his
recent visit to this country. The
presentation was made by Bishop
Burch. The volume was bound in
sealskin, the coat of arms embossed
on the outside being made from the
same die as that used fifty-nine years
ago.

LAST summer the Reverend
Harvey Huang, our Chinese
priest at Saint John’s Church, Han-
kow, organized a night school which
had an enrollment of 150 men —
ricksha coolies, carpenters, weavers,
tailors, blacksmiths, peddlers, etc.
From eight to ten they were taught
reading and writing, the use of the
abacus, hygiene and Christian doc-
trine. Each Sunday evening there
was a simple service, the address be-
ing given by a different member of
the staff each week. A social hour
followed. The experiment has been
successful and it is hoped may be-
come permanent.

THE annual meeting of the Home
Missions Council and of the
Council of Women for Home Mis-
sions will be held on January 13-15,
1920, at 156 Fifth Avenue, New

York. The two councils will unite
in several joint sessions. Partic-
ulars may be obtained from Alfred
W. Anthony, executive secretary, at
the above address.

THE eighth International Con-
vention of the Student Volun-
teer Movement will be held at Des
Moines, Iowa, December 31, 1919 —
January 4, 1920. Delegates are ex-
pected from more than one thousand
institutions. These conventions are
only held once in every four years
and the most careful plans have been
made for an exceptionally interest-
ing programme. Full particulars
may be obtained from the executive
secretary, Wilbert B. Smith, 25
Madison Avenue, New York.

AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Reverend C. S. McClellan, Jr., who is in
charge of an immense parish in that part of
the state of Texas which is included in the
district of New Mexico, asks us to publish the
following appreciation of the help he has re-
ceived :

IT has been a source of great satis-
faction and encouragement to me
here in my missionary work along
the Mexican border to have received
such generous gifts of books, Church
literature, money and a missionary
box from the Church Periodical
Club,' the War Commission of our
Church and the ladies of Christ
Church in New York City.

The help of these good people has
been continuous and they have in-
timated by their personal corre-
spondence their willingness to co-
operate with me in every way to
further the work of our Church here
in the “Big Bend” of Texas, where
in a territory of some 25,000 square
miles I have nine congregations or
mission stations under my personal
supervision.

So generous has this aid been and
so important in progressing our mis-
sionary activities here that I feel
that public mention of it should be
given, hence this letter.

TO THE PRESIDING BISHOP AND COUNCIL

THE UNITED THANK OFFERING OF 1922

THE contrast between the United Thank Offering for 1916 and 1919
reveals a growth in strength, sacrifice, hope, and a renewed determina-
tion to help win the world for Christ. Those who were privileged to share
in the beautiful presentation service in Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Detroit, on
the morning of October the eighth, could not but realize that strong spirit-
ual forces had been at work among the women and that these forces
carried back into every diocese and missionary district would be a stimulus
and inspiration during the coming three years. The fact that the United
Thank Offerings given at the last three Triennials have amounted to over
a million dollars helps us to see the greatness of future possibilities. The
gain in 1916 of forty-seven thousand dollars and in 1919 of one hundred
and thirteen thousand dollars indicates what we have every right to expect
when all Churchwomen know the real meaning of “united” and “thankful”.
It is a cause for gratitude that four hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars
was laid on the altar in Saint Paul’s Cathedral in Detroit. A large sum
of money however we may look at it, but coming as it did for the most part
through comparatively small contributions, made during a period when
the drain of war demands was heavy, it has an increased value, and shows
with what faithfulness the United Thank Offering custodians have done
their work.

From the 1919 United Thank Offering, workers in the home and foreign
fields will be supported, those who can no longer continue in active service
will receive care, young women will be trained for future service in the
Church, while $5,000 for building purposes will go to each of the following
missions: San Juan Navajo Hospital, Farmington, New Mexico, the

school at Guantanamo, Cuba, the chapel at Saint Hilda’s, Wuchang, China,
and to Valle Crucis, North Carolina, for the rebuilding of Auxiliary Hall.

In 1922 we shall gather in Portland, Oregon. What will be the amount
of the United Thank Offering then? Our general secretary asked in De-
troit that we set our mark at a million dollars. We can easily reach this
if each and every one of us will make a special effort to find Church women
who are still uninterested because they have never had the purpose of the
United Thank Offering put clearly before them. Any woman who learns
of this offering, its history and what it has already accomplished, must find
her imagination kindled by the unlimited possibilities for its future useful-
ness and will long to have a part in an effort, the influence of which reaches
literally to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Not alone does the offering affect the life of women, but through the
life and work of the missionaries it reaches out to entire communities,
bringing to men, women and children in dire need the light of the Gospel
of Christ.

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto
me.

THE NOVEMBER CONFERENCE

THE November Conference was
held at the Church Missions
House on the morning of the 20th.
As is the custom it was preceded
by the Holy Communion, Bishop
Lloyd being the celebrant. Before
the opening of the conference the
bishop spoke to the women of the
change in the work of the Auxiliary
which the action of their representa-
tives in Detroit had brought about.
These changes as well as those re-
sulting from the passing of Canon
60 mean greater opportunities and
wider fields of usefulness.

But as the bishop reminded us
“large opportunities bring large
chances of disaster”. In all the prep-
aration for properly meeting these
opportunities the Church must keep
its perspective and never lose sight
of the reason for doing the great
tasks which are summoning us.

After Bishop Lloyd’s address Miss
Lindley spoke of the plans on foot
for the enlarged work of the Aux-
iliary. Plans as great as these need
time for their completion. After the
meeting of the Presiding Bishop and
Council and of the Executive Board
of the Woman’s Auxiliary it will be
possible to make detailed sugges-
tions for the new undertakings
which await us.

Deaconess Goodwin spoke of the
many young people who have taken
part in the Nation-Wide Campaign,
many of whom have acted as speak-
ers and have been in other capacities
most helpful. Numbers of these
young people will pledge themselves
to service when the canvasses are
made and one of the duties before us
is to provide adequate tasks for
those who will offer themselves to
the Church.

Miss Withers spoke of the forma-
tion of the Church School Service
League and of its development

which will mean so much in the re-
ligious life of the children of the
Church. She made a strong appeal
for the support of this endeavor em-
phasizing the necessity of securing
and training leaders to carry on the
work of the League.

MissTillotson spoke of the classes
at Detroit and of the significance of
the fact that so many women found
it possible during those crowded
days to attend them. People do
want to know of the things which
have to do with the work of the
Church in the world and are willing
to make the necessary sacrifice of
time and effort. It is hoped that in
the. future even more than in the
past the Auxiliary will find it pos-
sible to offer greater opportunities
for study and training to those who
desire both.

Miss Lindley then spoke of the
action taken by the women at De-
troit in regard to the box work
which they voted should be reorgan-
ized on Red Cross lines. The Aux-
iliary is fortunate in having had for
their guidance in this important un-
dertaking the advice of Mrs. Leon-
ard Wood whose service in the Red
Cross during the war is well known.
Through Mrs. Wood it has been
possible for the Auxiliary to secure
the co-operation of Mrs. Powell
Clayton who has generously placed
her time at the disposal of the Aux-
iliary and is now making plans
which will later be published in full.
Mrs. Clayton was present at the con-
ference and spoke. As head of the
women’s work of the Chattanooga
Chapter of the American Red Cross
she rendered remarkable service dur-
ing the war and the Auxiliary is to
be congratulated upon having the
benefit of her wide experience in the
reorganization of so important a
branch of their work.

FIRST MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD

IN the things accomplished in De-
troit next in importance to the
enlargement of the scope of the
Auxiliary and the invitation sent by
the Auxiliary to the other Church
societies for women to help create a
Church League of Service, was the
creation of an Executive Board. To
have a body of sixteen women repre-
senting the Auxiliary and qualified
to speak for the Auxiliary between
Triennials, to assist the executive
secretary in carrying on the business
of the Auxiliary is an inspiration and
encouragement.

There had been a meeting in De-
troit for organization when Miss
Corey was elected chairman and
Miss Matthews secretary and plans
were talked over informally, but the
first regular meeting was held on
Thursday, December eleventh. The
celebration of the Holy Communion
was held in Calvary Chapel and the
meeting in the Church Missions
House. Eleven of the elected mem-
bers were present: Miss Eva D.

Corey, Miss E. R. Delafield, Mrs.
M. C. Adams, Mrs. Loaring Clark,
Mrs. John Ames, Miss Matthews,
Miss Winston, Mrs. Pancoast, Mrs.
Stevens, Miss Sturgis, Mrs. Phelps,
and the honorary member, Miss Em-
ery, the executive secretary and the
other secretaries of the Auxiliary.

A committee was appointed to
bring in resolutions expressing the
sense of the Auxiliary’s great loss in
Bishop Lloyd’s retirement. The first
business was the consideration of
by-laws presented by Miss Delafield,
the chairman of the committee ap-
pointed for this purpose in Detroit.
It is hoped that these by-laws may
be printed here later. They provide
for standing committees on the
United Thank Offering, on appoint-
ments under that offering and on
publication. An advisory committee
wag also appointed to work with the

educational secretary in perfecting
her plans for missionary education.

To the great regret of the other
members Miss Brent found it impos-
sible to accept her election as the
representative of the Sixth Province
and Mrs. Theopold of Minnesota
was elected in her place.

Miss Delafield, speaking for the
committee on appointments under
the United Thank Offering reported
the approval of the application of
Mrs. Estelle Swann Royce for Pan-
ama and of Deaconess Josephine for
Quincy. An educational plan
was presented by Miss Tillotson
which will be printed later. The
plan for “putting the box work on
Red Cross lines” voted in Detroit
was one of the most important mat-
ters before the Board. If this was
to be seriously and thoroughly done
it had seemed wise to ask the help
of Red Cross leaders and the execu-
tive secretary asked the assistance of
Mrs. Leonard Wood. Mrs. Wood
was and is much interested in the
plan but she could not do the details
of planning herself. She asked Mrs.
Powell Clayton and Mrs. Austin
Baldwin to do it and to their very
great kindness is due the plan pre-
sented to the Executive Board by
Mrs. Powell Clayton and enthusi-
astically endorsed by the Board.
The general method at “Headquar-
ters” (the Church Missions House)
will continue as established for so
long a time ; the only radical change
here will be that it will be the pur-
chasing department for those dio-
ceses which prefer to use it instead
of buying their material themselves.
It is proposed that the dioceses shall
be “distributing centres” — not only
as they have in the past in assigning
boxes but now also in the distribu-
tion of the finished article — that all
work shall be standardized and that
tfie Red Cross rooms in our parishes

The Woman’s Auxiliary

shall be used for providing the needs
of the mission institutes. It is also
proposed that we should copy the
Red Cross in asking for a dollar from
each member of the Auxiliary in
order to obtain a fund for starting
this plan. With an expression of
deep gratitude to Mrs. Clayton she
was asked to come and put the plan

in operation and it is a pleasure to
announce that the box work will be
under her care with Miss Underhill's
able assistance.

The date for the next meeting
was left to the decision of the ex-
ecutive secretary in consultation
with the chairman and after a long,
full day the meeting adjourned.

THE CHURCH SERVICE LEAGUE

THESE resolutions were passed
at a business meeting of the
Woman’s Auxiliary in Detroit.

“We invite all other Women’s Church
Societies to join with us in creating
a Church League of Service, such a
league to be a federation of women’s
organizations, not in any sense a merger.
That to conduct the business of this
League and to prepare for its future
development there shall be formed a
National Council, with three representa-
tives from each society, and nine others
elected by the Council.

On Friday, December twelfth,
representatives of the seven societies
of Church women having national
organization met at the Church Mis-
sions House first for the celebration
of the Holy Communion and then
for organization. As the invitation
had come from the Woman’s Aux-
iliary the representatives of that or-
ganization had elected Miss Mat-
thews to call the meeting to order
and she was elected temporary
chairman and Mrs. Sterling, tem-
porary secretary. Nine members at
large were elected.

The name of the organization or
federation was voted upon and it
was decided that it should be “The
Church Service League”. It is
hoped that the dioceses will proceed
to form their diocesan councils and
the parishes theirs. These latter are
to be known as “units” of the
League and it was voted that each
unit must undertake some work in
the five fields of service — parish,
community, diocese, nation, world —

to be recognized as a part of the
League. Several committees were
appointed : i. e., on by-laws, voca-
tions, nominations, finance, etc. It
was decided that the next meeting
should be on January 16th and that
it should be the annual meeting
when permanent officers will be
elected.

Perhaps it will seem to those who
read this short account as though
little had been done beyond prelim-
inary business and, of course, such
is true in the sense that all that
could be done was to start the ma-
chinery, but the biggest fact is the
meeting itself and the hope it holds
for the future of women’s work in
the Church. That there is such a
federation which will prevent over-
lapping, which will help the differ-
ent societies to know and assist each
other, which will make it possible to
find and undertake new work and
which will present a united appeal
to all Church women is one of the
best and most hopeful steps forward
ever taken by the women of our
Church.

THE JANUARY CONFERENCE

THE January Conference will be
held on Thursday, the fifteenth,
at 10:30 in the Board Room at the
Church Missions House. It will be,
as is usual, preceded by a celebra-
tion of the Holy Communion at ten
o’clock in the chapel.

MINUTES: WOMAN’S AUXILIARY TRIENNIAL MEETING

(Continued from December)

Nebraska offered the following resolution:

Whereas, That in these United States
there are 4,000,000 children under legal
age employed in various occupations con-
trary to the laws of health and morals,
therefore be it

Resolved, That 'the Woman’s Auxiliary
in Convention assembled petition the Gen-
eral Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church to use its influence in forming pub-
lic opinion and creating laws to make uni-
form laws throughout these United States
to protect the children of this country.
Councils to be Formed. The recommenda-
tions from the Conference Committee that
the National Council should take over the
work formerly done by the Committee on
Co-operation and that similar councils
should be formed in each diocese and dis-
trict after consultation with the bishop
were accepted.

Literature for Blind. A resolution offered
by Mrs. Clark, of Tennessee, on literature
for the blind was referred to the Church
Periodical Club.

United Offering Committee Report. The

report of the United Offering Committee
was presented by Mrs. Wurts, of Newark,
and adopted as follows:

The word “thank” was inserted into the
name of the United Offering so that here^
after it is to be known as the United Thank
Offering; the title of the United Thank
Offering officer to be left to the pleasure of
each diocese; the names of all United Thank
Offering missionaries who have died dur-
ing the three years to be read at the Tri-
ennial Corporate Communion Service. The
resolutions on the United Offering presented
by the Conference Committee were passed
as follows:

1. Resolved, No woman hereafter shall be
supported by the United Offering who has
not been suitably trained for the service to
which she may be appointed, and who does
not present testimonials satisfactory to the
Woman’s Executive Board, as to her com-
petency and fitness, accompanied by a cer-
tificate of good health.

2. Resolved, That no woman who is sup-
ported in whole or in part by the United
Offering shall receive less than $1,000 a
year, with the understanding that if her
board and lodging are provided this may be
reduced to $600.

3. Resolved, That the increased amount
from the United Offering, 1919, which may
be placed at the disposal of the Board by
the Woman’s Auxiliary shall be used in the
first place to increase to the amount named
in Resolution 2, the salary of those workers

already supported by the United Offering,
where the work of such women has demon-
strated their efficiency.

Executive Board Elected. At the begin-
ning of the afternoon session the report of
the Nominating Committee was presented
by Mrs. Adams, and after prayer, election
for the Executive Board was made and the
following members were elected, the first
eight names being the unanimous choice of
the provinces, the remaining eight the
members at large:

Province I — Miss Eva D. Corey.

Province II — Miss E. R. Delafield
Province III — Mrs. Marcellin Adams.
Province IV — Mrs. Loaring Clark
Province V — Mrs. Herman Butler
Province VI — Miss Edith Brent
Province VII — Mrs. John Ames
Province VIII — Mrs. Louis Monteagle

Miss Matthews Southern Ohio

Miss Winston Kentucky

Mrs. Pancoast Pennsylvania

Mrs. Stevens Michigan

Miss Sturgis Massachusetts

Mrs. Phelps New Jersey

Mrs. Burleson South Dakota

Mrs. Foxley Louisiana

The election was then held for three mem-
bers of the Executive Board who should rep-
resent the Woman’s Auxiliary on the Na-
tional Council of the Church Service
League, which election resulted in the choos-
ing of Miss Sturgis, Miss Delafield and Miss
Matthews.

Auxiliary Prayer. The report of the Com-
mittee on the Prayer for the Auxiliary was
presented by Mrs. Markoe and the following
prayer was adopted:

ALMIGHTY God, our Heavenly Father,
bless, we pray Thee, our work for the
extension of Thy kingdom, and make us
so thankful for the precious gift to us of
Thy beloved Son that we may pray ferv-
ently, labor diligently and give liberally to
make Him known to all nations as their
God and Saviour. We ask this for His
dear sake. Amen.

United Thank Offering Prayer. The re-
port of the committee on the United Thank
Offering prayer was presented by Mrs.
North and the following prayer was
adopted :

OLORD, our Heavenly Father, we pray
Thee to send more laborers into Thy
Harvest, and to grant them Thy spe-
cial grace for every need. Guard and guide
the workers in the field, and draw us into
closer fellowship with them. Dispose the
hearts of all women everywhere to give

The Woman’s Auxiliary

gladly as Thou hast given to them. Accept
from grateful hearts our United Thank Of-
fering of prayer and gifts and joyful ser-
vice, and bless it to the coming of Thy King-
dom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Assessments. The report of the Commit-
tee on Assessments was presented by Miss
Matthews and was accepted as follows:

Whereas, The Special Committee on Pro-
gramme, Conference and Co-operation have
been put to great expense in preparing for
this Triennial, and in view of the fact that
we have created an Executive Committee,
and as it and such special committees here-
after created must have funds for their
work, the following plan is recommended
to furnish the necessary money:

1. The diocesan branches of the Woman’s
Auxiliary shall be divided into five classes:

Class A — Those pledging $20 annually
(for the next three years).

Class B — Those pledging $15 annually.

Class C — Those pledging $10 annually.

Class D — Those pledging $5 annually.

Class E — Those pledging $3 annually.

Each diocese shall settle for itself to
which class it wishes to belong.

2. Your Committee recommends that the
executive secretary of the Woman’s Auxil-
iary be instructed to send a pledge card as
soon as possible to each diocesan branch,
asking it to state to which class it wishes
to belong for the next three years.

Jubilee Fund. The report of the committee
on the Jubilee Fund was presented by
the chairman, Mrs. Monteagle, and with
amendments was accepted as follows:

Whereas, The Woman’s Auxiliary has fit-
tingly resolved to observe its fiftieth anni-
versary and has appointed a committee to
recommend the nature of the observance of
this Jubilee, the committee makes the fol-
lowing recommendations:

1. That there shall be created an “Emery
Fund for Missionaries Home on Furlough”,
to be given over to the Board of Missions,
or their successors, to be for all time a trust
fund, the interest of which shall be used for
women missionaries on furlough in such
way as the Executive Committee of the
Woman’s Auxiliary or its successors shall
approve.

2. It is also recommended by the com-
mittee that the “Emery Fund for Mission-
aries Home on Furlough” shall reach the
sum of $50,000, to be completed by the date
of our fiftieth anniversary, October, 1921.

3. The committee recommends that the
raising of this Fund shall be left to the
Executive Committee of the Woman’s Aux-
iliary created at this Triennial.

The chairman reported that $3,000 had
already been received for this fund and that
Mrs. Markoe, of Pennsylvania, would act
a.s treasurer.

Monday, October 20th.

Executive Board Organized. The general
secretary reported that the Executive Board
had held a meeting and organized with the
election of Miss Corey, of Massachusetts,
as chairman, and Miss Matthews, of South-
ern Ohio, as recording secretary.

The committee on the United Thank Of-
fering reported, and with amendments the
three following resolutions were adopted:

I. Resolved, That the United Thank
Offering of 1922 be given to the Board of
Missions or any organization which has suc-
ceeded, or may hereafter succeed to its func-
tions, for women's work in the mission field,
including the training, sending and support
of women workers and the care of such
workers when sick or disabled.

Provided, That one-tenth of the offering
be set aside as a permanent trust fund to
be invested and administered by the Board
of Missions or any organization which has
succeeded to its functions, the income to be
applied to the support of retired United
Offering workers, also

Provided, That the sum of not less than
$10,000 be devoted to the erection, comple-
tion or renewal of a building or buildings
approved by the Board of Missions on the
recommendation of the president of the
Board of Missions and the Executive Board
of the Woman’s Auxiliary. Also,

Resolved, That to our united gifts shall
be added our united and earnest prayers
that God will put it into the hearts of many
faithful women to give themselves or of
their substance to the work of the Master
in the Mission fields.

II. Whereas, The United Thank Offering
is shared in by many women not in the
Auxiliary, be it

Resolved, First, that we record our pleas-
ure in this fact and the fact that the Wom-
an’s Auxiliary United Thank Offering treas-
urers are used by other societies, and

Secondly, that in 1922 the United Thank
Offering Service shall be planned for by the
National Council and planned for all the
women of the Church.

III. Resolved, That seats be provided for
the treasurers or custodians of the United
Thank Offering or their substitutes at the
United Thank Offering Service in 1922.
Reply to Greetings. The report of the
committee on the reply to greetings from
Mrs. Davidson, the Society for the Propa-
gation of the Gospel and the Church Mis-
sionary Society, was made by Mrs. Sious-
sat, chairman, and resolutions of thanks
were presented by Mrs. Henderson, of Ala-
bama, chairman of the Committee on Com-
plimentary Resolutions.

Adjournment. The Triennial Meeting then
adjourned.
