od WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 Brotherhood of St. Andrew Holds International Meeting at Chicago Editor's Note: Church people of the north shore, and especially those affili- ated with the various Episcopal parishes, including St. Augustine in Wilmette; The Church of the Holy Comforter at Kenilworth; Christ Church, Winnctka. and St. Elizabeth's church, Glencoe, will be interested in this comprehensive ai- nouncement of the approaching Inter- national convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which is to be held at the University of Chicago for five days, be- ginning September 19. The general pub- lic is invited to attend the sessions of the convention, which will be presided over and addressed by many of the outstand- ing leaders of the Episcopal denomin- ation. Accompanying is published in the interest of the local parishes of the Epis- copal church. JAMES L. HOUGHTELING, JR. In a money-mad world--a world whose governing motive,- to judge from the daily newspapers, is more and more markedly the unquenchable thirst of men for wealth and selfish power--there will meet this summer in a great market city a group of some thousand or more Christian men who will spend five days together dis- cussing "The Consecration of Man- hood in Service." And the term ser- vice will mean to them the service of Almighty God and of their fellow men. This is to be the central topic and keynote of the International conven- tion, to be held at the University of Chicago from Wednesday, September "19, through Sunday, September 23, by men of the Episcopal church under the auspices of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. It is an important topic for the church to discuss at this time; for the consecration of young man- hood to the militant service of God has been the very lifeblood of Chris- tianity ever since Jesus himself called oung fishermen from the Lake of Gennesaret to help Him conquer the world, and the Church has never need- ed new blood more than it does in the present materialistic crisis. The Brotherhood is trying to make the invitation and welcome to this convention as broad and as vital as the topic itself. All churchmen are invited and urged to come; the hos- pitality of the university at this vaca- tion period includes rooms in the nitories and board at the students' Commons at cost. The right hand of fellowship is ready to greet all com- ers. Discussion Days The convention will have three main discussion-days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Wednesday as a day of arrival and welcome and Sunday as a final day of worship and fellow- ship. It is part of the carefully laid plan of the program committee ti at each of these discussion-days shail have its own central topic or keynote, in the development of the main thought of the convention. 1 am speaking at this time of the senior conferences and not of the lusty and fast-moving convention conducted by the boys of the junior department on the same days. The Senior conven- tion will have as its topic for Thurs- day, for instance, "Cooperation Ex- pressed in Service," a team-work motif well worth studying by Chris- tian workers in our highly individual- ized system. On Friday the day's topic will be "The Challenge of Youth to the Older Generation," and on Satur- day "Meeting the Challenge to Serve." Bishop to Speak Delegates will arrive on Wednesday, and on that evening at 8 o'clock there will be a great mass-meeting in Mandel Hall on the university campus. The Bishop of Chicago will preside, and charter members of Chapter No. 1, distinguished guests, and war secretaries will have seats on the platform. It will be a memorable oc- casion, this beginning of the Brother- hood's fortieth birthday celebration. The subject will be appropriate to past memories of the Brotherhood and to the pioneers of its early days: "A Consecrated Man's Vision of Serv- ice." Franklin S. Edmonds of Philadel- phia (who is something of a pioneer and a good deal of a consecrated man himself) and the Rev. J. P. D. Lloyd of Halifax, an eloquent Canadian, will be the speakers. Thursday, the twentieth, will be the day of "co-operation in service." All the neighboring churches will begin the day with that divinest symbol of fellowship, the Holy Communion. Then at 10 o'clock the convention will officially organize and officially get acquainted. This will be accom- nlished under the guidance of the Brotherhood's president, Mr. Edward H. Bonsall of Philadelphia, as Chair- man; welcome will be extended by Dr. Nathaniel Butler for the Univers- ity and by the Bishop Suffragan of Chicago, the Rt. Rev. Sheldon M. Griswold, D. D., for the city and the diocese; and responses will be made by George A. King of London, Presi- dent of the 'Brotherhood in England, R. H. Coleman of Toronto, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Brotherhood in Canada, Rev. G. E. Moreton of Dunedin, General Secre- tary of the Brotherhood in New Zealand, Rev. R. J. Ripley of Kings- "on, Jamaica, representing the West Indies, Dr. Samuel L. Joshi of Baroda College, Bombay, India, and by dele- gates yet undesignated, representing Hawaii, China and Japan. Prayer For Missions At exactly noon there will be prayer for missions, followed by the first of three short addresses by an old friend to. whom the Brotherhood always gladly looks for spiritual inspiration, Dr. William C. Sturgis of the nation- al orgaization of the church. It will perhaps give the best idea of these three noon-day talks to set down their Frank Shelby, General Secretary of the Brotherhood in the United States, as chairman. "The Challenge of the Jurior Brotherhood to the Men of the Church". (The speakers will be the directors of six successful junior chapters.) 8:00--Public meeting, with H. D. W. English of Pittsburg in the chair. "Giving the Youth of the Church a Square Deal". This is to be an- other 100% meeting with 100% speakers; Dr. Bernard Iddings Boll, head of St. Stephen's College in New York State, and the Rt. Rev. Irving P. Johnson, Bishop of Colo- rado. On this Friday of Convention week, titles in order here: Do You Understand the Church's Purpose? Do You Believe in the Church's Mission? Christ's Standard of Service--Are You Measuring up to It? Many sincere Christians are daily asking themselves these questions and | will rejoice to learn how to answer | them less half-heartedly. Boys In Convention In the meantime the boys will have organized their separate convention on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning ; will have learned by heart their motto, "The World needs Me-- at my Best"; and will have heard good straight talks from a wonderful line of speakers: (in order of their ap- pearance), from Alonzo Stagg, the famous coach of the University of Chicago, from Bishop Wise of Kan- sas, from Chicago's much-admired Bishop Anderson, from the Rev. Mr. Lloyd of Canada, from Francis Wil- liams of the Brotherhood National Office, and from Joe McCulley of Toronto. A fair treat altogether. The boys have the afternoon off for recreation on Thursday (as they do on Friday and Saturday also); and after luncheon the men make the Brotherhood secretaries do most of the work. John H. Frizzell, a new secretary whom the Brotherhood snatched from a lofty job as princi- pal of a high school in Pennsylvania, will open the afternoon's discussion of the subject "Co-operation with the Organized Forces of the Church". He will be followed by Mr. Alfred Newberry, a very able layman who is helping to organize the social service work of the National Church, and by the three general secretaries of New Zealand, of Canada, and of the United States. These latter will review what their Brotherhoods are doing to co- operate with other virile church ac- tivities. "King of England" There Then in the evening will be held another big meeting in Mandel Hall, with the head of the English Brother- hood--sometimes called King of Eng- land--in the chair. This will be what Courtenay Barber, chairman of the Convention committee, calls a "One hundred percent meeting", for the speakers will be Dr. Joshi of Baroda College, India, who has made such an impression throughout the American "urch by his vivid message of Christ's salvation at work in the East, and the Rev. Dr. Ratton of Church Missions House, the man of broad vision who inaugurated the Nation- wide campaign. They will talk on the topic "Sharing our Best with the World" a topic that is vitally impor- tant today but not overly comfortable to the Christian men of America. Are we Americans sharing our bless- ings of Christianty, of freedom, of peace and of stability with the world to the extent God would have us? Aren't we a little bit ashamed about our selfishness toward the world? But we don't guarantee that the dis- tinguished speakers will touch on those conscience-disturbing points. Big Friday Program So closes Thursday, the first full day of the convention; and Friday is like unto it. Its keynote, you will re- member, is the Challenge of Youth. Its program runs something as fol- lows : 7:30--Holy Communion, in nearby churches. 10 :00--Business session--Discussion of National Council report--Report of the juniors will begin their working day with get-together stunts, includ- ing a "talking newspaper" which so many of them enjoy so much. At 9:45 A. M. they will hear Bishop Wise of Kansas talk on 'Whole Time Serv- ice for Christ". After that they will' spend the rest of the morning with the seniors. Visit Order's Birthplace Saturday will be culminative and commemorative. These long and im- pressive words mean that the morning will finish the discussion part of the program, and the afternoon will be the real observation of Fortieth Birthday rites at the Brotherhood's birthplace. The day's keynote is "Meeting the Challenge to Serve". And the morn- ing meeting, beginning at 9:30, will have a double subject, family prayer and the call to the ministry. Warren Hires Turner, Treasurer of the Broth- erhood and leader in its corporate ef- fort to re-establish family prayer in the American home, will introduce this vital subject and lead a discussion of methods. There will be no more important session of the convention than this one. It will later be given over to the discussion of "How to Secure the Best Officers for the Church Army". That master of elo- quence, Bishop Wise, will be the first speaker, and will be succeeded by six deans of theological schools, Dean Logan of Dubose, Dean DeWitt of Western, Dean Kramer of Seabury, Dean Ladd of Berkeley, Dean Ivins of Nashotah, and Dean Wells of Sewanee. This galaxy ought to be able to give the churchmen assembled authoritative information as to the needs, the opportunities and the in- spiration of the Christian ministry. A crucial subject! The boys will discuss that morning under the leadership of the Rev. Ed- ward H. Bonsall, Jr, son of the Brotherhood's president, and the Rev. Bernard Iddings Bell, a notable leader of young men. After Dr. Sturgis' third noonday talk, on "Christ's Standard of Serv- ice", and the midday recess for lunch, the whole body of delegates will be taken by automobile some six or seven miles north through the heart of Chicago to old St. James', the Brotherhood's birthplace, a church founded before Chicago was an in- corporated city. Here is the me- morial chapel in honor of the founder, marking the exact spot where the original group of young men met and organized Chapter No. 1 away back in 1883. Four or five of that first group will be on hand to tell about it. The church is being re- decorated and beautified this summer and will be in a half-way state of re- construction, but it will be possible to hold a Memorial Service in it. Three men of long standing in the Brother- hood, all close personal friends of James I. Houghteling, will speak on "The Vision of the Founder:" Dr. John W. Wood of Church Missions House, who was general secretary of the Brotherhood throughout Mr. Houghteling's presidency; George A. King of the English Brotherhood; and the Rev. Floyd W. Tomkins, D. D., Rector of Holy Trinity, Phildelphia, who was Rector of St. James' during part of the first decade of the Brother- hood's life. The actual fortieth anni- versary of the order will be on St. Andrew's Day, November 30th, but this September 22nd meeting will be the principal formal celebration. what experienced convention-goers the same subject in a different way,' That evening will be given over to look forward to as the second great- est event of the convention, the Prep- aration for the Corporate Commun- ion.
