Bishop Freeman took as his theme “Conversion,” asserting that there are two parts to this. The first that “we must change ourselves and go toward the Lord, and, secondly, we must help some one else to do the same, “The church needs to be converted to a new vision of its obligations,” Bishop Freeman said, “for as ii+now stands the church is responsibie for the deplorable Inefficiency of Chris- tianity.” Not only does this affect the moral side of our lives, he said, but a lack of the second version of conversion is responsible for wars, la- bor troubles, political strife, et “We have not done a dut said, “if we are merely content to lie at the feet of Jesus, but rathes we must go forth and preach His gospel.” Rev.

Bronson, auditor in the estate's Chicago office, upon the wit- ness stand. Counsel for the Countess ‘of Suffolk and Berks, who seeks to depose her brother, Joseph Leiter, as a co-trustee, ploughed through the great mass of records in an expressed dstermination to show that Leiter had unnecessarily spent large sums in Wyoming, ob- taining the funds by selling off some of the estate’'s most valuable assets. Lady Suffolk in her complaint charged gross mismdnagement and neglect of duty. In 1921 the expenditures upon one portion of the Wyoming property totaled $221,215.76, and demand notes for $465.000 were negonated with 1,400 shares of Pullman stock and 1,400 shares of bank stock as securi- ties, Bronson testified. In 1922 the Wyoming expenditures totaled $122,232.82; in 1923, $13,124.67, and in 1924, $8,873.34. In 1922 notes payable amounted to $900,000, $350,000, which was secured by a $1,100,000 real estate mortgage. ———e Mrs. Rhoda F.
