Dr. C. C.

Wishop Beecher made a strong speech In favor of it and the venerable Bishop Brewer of Montana, who was presiding @t the meeting, took the fioor and pointed out that the dioceses in Which the secre- tary worked during the last year had con- tributed §,00 more than they dld the year before, thus proving the secretary's efficlency from the financial standpoint @ishop Beecher declared there was & much deeper cause for retaining Dr. Rol- Nt than mere money. “The spiritual strengthening of the people and the giv- Ing of a bronder vision of the great church to those In remote districts are alone worth retaining this office and officer,” sald the bishop. The synod voted unanimously against memorializing the general convention of the church to have the office abolished. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew was addressed by F. H.
