Washington will be visited this week by the South African team of the -famcus Oxford group, who returned to this country shortly before Christmas after having conducted in South Africa one of the most remarkable spiritual campaigns of modern times. ‘The Oxford group, under leadership of Rev. Frank N. D. Buchman, who organized the movement some years ago for work in the colleges and uni- versities of Great Britain and America, spent four months this Summer at a series of religious conferences in the Union of South Africa. These confer- ences, it is declared, resulted in a virtual rebirth of personal religion throughout the Union and, it is added, ,demonstrated the objective of the OX- ford movement, that the solution for modern problems is to be found in the New Testament.

Headed by Mr. Buchman, a Lutheran clergyman and American Rhodes :scholarship graduate of Oxford, the \group includes 12 persons of various Teligious beliefs, experiences and pro- fessions, besides several famous ath- letes who have become affliated with the Oxford movement.

There is still ample quantity of this fine stock to be sacrificed. HELP US TO CLOSE THIS OUT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HELP YOU TO SAVE MONEY. We mention only a few of the values, but there are hundreds of others obtainable. This is your great opportunity to effect a phenomenal saving on a handsome suite, a rug, a table, a cedar chest, a refrigerator, a secretary, a fiber suite, an occasional piece or draperies.

The conferences are called “house | parties,” and from one of these others | grew until it was reported that the | el influence was felt in all lhe’ schools and colleges. A rugby inter- national match was called off and members of the teams devoted their | full time instead to work of the Ox- | ford group. | Mr. Buchman, who is “F.

H In the years following the World ‘Wer the conviction grew on him that | the most neglected field of spiritual endeavor in the English-speaking world | ‘was to be found in the colleges and uni- | versities of Britain and America.

The week end hous: party, an | established channel of social inter- course, offered an evident solution of | the problem. | In the Summer of 1918 the first of these conferences took place at Kuling, | a Central China resort, with a group | of Chinese and foreign missionaries, | clergymen and professional men. Out of this conference two years later in| England ~grew the present Oxford | Group Movement. { The movement spread to the United States, but the name was held be- | cause it best describes the atmosphere of thess gatherings, which in their | general setting more closely resemble a ! secular house party than the usual! religious conference or convention. | They have besn called the “church in the house.” | Such a house party is being held now by the Oxford Group members at Briarcliff Lodge, Briarcliff Manor, N.

Rover and Assistant United States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw have filed replications to the plea-in-abatement filed by George Cassidy, known as “the man in the green hat,” who is charged with transporting liquor to the Senate Of- fice Building. Cassidy recently attacked the legality of the grand jury on the same grounds raised in the Buck case, which is under consideration by Jus- tice Peyton Gordon. The prosecutors defend the qualifications of the grand Jjurors and ask that Cassidy's plea be dismissed. Cassidy was arrested about throe years ago when a brief case containing whisky was found in a room at the ! House Office Building. He served a term of 90 days. He was arrested re- cently near the Senate Office Building as he was returning to his car after a visit to the building. Sale Dining Room Suites $350 10-pc. Mahogany 112 $475 Rock- ford 10-pc.
