RECORD OF THE YEAR JOST PASSED Sabbath Observance Laws and the Action Taken. ELECTION OF OFFICERS An interesting meeting of the Church- man’s League of the District of Columbia was held in Epiphany Parish Hail last night with a large attendance of members. This league is an association of prominent mem- bers of the Episcopal churches of this city interested in the growth of the church work and is in every way representative of the substance of the Hpiscopal parishes. Its membership is composed largely of busi- ness and professional men and the attend- ance last night included some of the well known men in Washington. Commissioner Truesdell presided over the meeting, and Mr. Edward F. Looker, as secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were approved. Dr. Wm. P. Young, the treasurer, reported the finances of the league to be in a thriving condition, The first annual report of the executive committee was submitted and accepted. It is as follows: “The executive committee beg leave to lay before the meeting the following report of the work of the Churchman’s League for ‘the past year: There have been six meetings of the league, viz: one to organ- ize, one special, one for reception to tne bishop and three regular meetings. A re- ception to the bishop by the church people of the District, a lecture by Dr. Audsiey on ‘Church Architecture,” and five addresses on ‘The Christian Man,’ have been given under our auspices. The executive committee has met ten times. It will be seen that there have been twenty-three meetings oa the business of the league during the past year. What the Record Shows. “The league was organized on Ascension day, May 3, 1894, at St. John’s Parish Hall, nearly one hundred men being present. At the first regular meeting, May 7, 1894, at St. John’s Parish Hall, among other things done, the constitution was signed by the one hundred and twenty-seven charter members, and the executive committee re- ported a committee on nominations. There was also an informal discussion on the question of the division of the diocese. “At a special meeting held June 2, 1894, at St. John’s Parish Hall arrangements were made for a reception by the league to the bishop at Epiphany parish rooms, and re- ports were heard from the Washington del- egates to the diocesan convention of the debate therein on the division of the dio- cese. “June 4 the members of the league, to the number of one hundred and fifty, gave a most hearty and enjoyable reception to the bishop in Epiphany parish rooms, at which time our second vice president, Mr. Henry E. Pellew, made an address, which well and forcibly expressed the feelings of the league toward him. The bishop strongly commended the league, and expressed his Satisfaction at its organization. After the speeches the bishop was escorted to an- other room, where the introductions were made. Light refreshments were served, and the members spent a pleasant hour in social intercourse. “At the regular November meeting, No- vember 8, at Zpiphany parish rooms, Rev. R. H. McKim, D. D., chairman of the com- mittee of the convention to raise the en- dowment fund for Washington, fully ex- plained the reasons for the division of the diocese, described the firancial resources and needs of the proposed new diocese, and indicated how the money could be raised. After an interesting interchange of views resolutions were adopted approving the ac- tion of the convention in favor of division, affirming the importance of the step to the church in this city and in the natien, and indorsing the efforts of the committee to raise the funds for the new diocese. On the conclusion of the speeches there was an- other agreeable social reunion, with re- freshments. Although this was a rainy evening, there were over a hundrei mem- bers present. “The regular January meeting was held at St. John’s Parish Hall January 7, at which meeting the executive committee re- Ported that they had been authorized = the committee appointed by the conv to prepare for a reception to the bishop in Washington on the tenth anniversary of his Consecration to put the reception under the auspices of the league. Progress was reported as to a course of addresses on "The Christian Man,’ to be given in Lent. The meeting closed with a discussion of matters of interest in connection with the diocese, the convocation, on the work of the church in the weaker parishes and on recent events among the churches in Wash- ington. Two days later, June 9, the recep- tion by the church people of the District, to which also the ministers of the different Christian bodies were invited, was given at the Ebbitt House. The league’a two com- mittees of arrangements and reception were in charge. Our president, Chief Justice Fuller, welcomed the bishop tn a felicitous speech, which was replied to by him appre- clatively. The bishop, in his speech, made some important statements in reference to the division of the diocese. There was a large attendance, notwithstanding the very bad weather, and the reception was heartily enjoyed. Various Activities. “In response to the kind invitation of the Church Club of New York that the Church- man’s League be represented at a dinner to be givea by them January 20, Mr. Albion K. Parris was made such representative. Mr. Parris was very cordially received by the New York Club, which thus honored us through him. “Mr. William D. Cabell and Mr. Fulton lewis were our delegates to the national conference of church clubs at Wilmington, Dei., January 31, 1895. The conference was valuable as a means whereby information as to methods of work was exchanged. In February the committee completed the ar- rangements for the course of addresses on the Christian man, and they were delivered in five churches on Tuesdays in Lent by the following: Rev. Dr. Douglas, Rt. Rev. Bishops Paret, Coleman and Randolph and Rev. Dr, Bodine, their subjects being, re- spectively, The Christian Man in Society, in the parish, in politics, in the family and in business. The committee decided that there should be no collection; that the seats should be free, and that the general public should be invited. “The course was thoroughlyadvertised and the members of the league were all notified by postal card. The result was a complete sticcess, the churches being crowded at every lecture. The practical value of the addresses, the eminence of the speakers and the evident pains taken by them in their preparation, all contributed to make the course a memorable event in the his- tory of the church in the District of Co- lumbia. It also brought the league very thoroughly to the attention of the public. “May 1, 1895, George A. Audsley, LL.D. fellow of the Royal Society of Independent British Architects, at the invitation of the committee delivered a free public lecture en ‘Some Thoughts on Church Architec- ture,’ at Epiphany parish rooms. It was a plea for more science and aesthetic in church architecture and adornment, and more thoroughness in construction. The lecture was especially valuable in this time of cathedral and church building in the District. The Membership. “The membership of the league is now 240, distributed as follows: St. John's, Wash., 50; Epiphany,#5; St. John’s, George- town, 28; Ascension, 16; Christ Church, Georgetown, 13; St. Paul's, 13; St.Andrew’s, 12; Trinity, 10; St. Thomas’, 8; Rock Creek, Silver Spring, 5; St. Alban’s, 5; Christ Church, Wash., 5; St. Stephen’ 4; St. James’ 4; Emmantel, ‘Anacestia, ; Grace Wash., 2; Grace, Georgetown, 1; St. Mark's, ; St. Luke's, 1; Incarnation, '1; unattached, ed, Dut’ have not aécepted yet, 7. T “In’ Eos, the committee think that in bringing the mémbers of tie various parishes together for mutual conference and help, in having been the means where- by matters of vital importance to the church were brought to the attention of earnest men and in having undertaken work which could not well have been done by any single ok ‘gta! the usefulness of the league, has fully demonstrated. With all this the league has brought tcgether under very agreeable circum- stances, our meetings and the simple in- fcrmal suppers having most decidedly tend- ed to promote sociability and good feeling.” Mr. Albion K. Parris, Mr. W. D. Cabell and Mr. Fulton Lewis gave detailed ac- counts of their attendance as delegates to the dinner given by the church clubs in New York and the conference of church clubs at Wilmington. The following new members were elected: G. F. Peter, Samuel Maddox, E. Trenchard Price, Alfred T. Gage, Clarence E. Daw- son, Rey. Andrew J. Graham, 8. Percy Minnick, Dr. Henderson Suter, Wm. M. Stewart, Samuel J. Millard and Rev. Wm. R. Turner. Sunday Observance Laws. At this point Dr. Wm. P. Young ealled attention to a communication which had been submitted to the executive committee relative to proposed action by the league in behalf of stricter observance of Sunday closing laws and preserving the quiet of the Sabbath. Mr. Truesdell said the at torney for the District of Columbia hag ‘been requested to give an opinion benien dl status of these laws, and he had been done. The only remedy for ‘ evils complained of would lie in Re sige sional legislation. Dr. You ecmmittee should be ‘appointed to Io to ook the matter.
