HOUGHTELING, JR. n a money-mad. worldâ€"a world lose governing motive, to judge m the daily newspapers, is more i more markedly the unquenchable rst of men for wealth and selfish â€"there will meet this summer a great market city a group of some III nisand or more Christian men who spend five days together dis- sing "The Consecration of Man- >d in Service." And the term ser- e will mean to them the service Almighty God and of their fellow Hjvver 11 'his is to be the central topic and fnote of the International conven- II n, to be held at the University of icago from Wednesday, September through Sunday, September 23, by n of the Episcopal church under auspices of the Brotherhood of Andrew. It is an important topic the church to discuss at this time; the consecration of young man- d to the militant service of God been the very lifeblood of Chris- nity ever since Jesus himself called Slfung fishermen from the Lake of Mnnesaret to help Him conquer the ijf|rld, and the Church has never need- new blood more than it does in the esent materialistic crisisT* The Brotherhood is trying to make e invitation and welcome to this invention as broad and as vital as je topic itself. All churchmen are jvited and urged to come; the hos- tality of the university at this vaca- n period includes rooms in the nitories and board at the studen s mmons at cost. The right hand of Uewship is ready to-greet all com- Discussion Days The convention will have three main scussion-days, Thursday, Friday and [arrival and welcome and Sunday a final day of worship and fellow- ip. It is part of the carefully laid n of the program committee tl at ch of these discussion-days sh&il ,ve its own central topic or keynote, the development of the main ©ught of the convention. I am eaking at this time of the senior nferences and not of the lusty and st-moving convention conducted by e boys of the junior department on e same days.. The Senior conven- n will have as its topic for Thurs- y, for instance, "Cooperation Ex- essed in Service," a team-work tif well worth studying by Chris- n workers in our highly individual- d system. On Friday the day's topic 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 titles in order here: Do You Understand the Church's Purpose? Do You Believe in the Church's Mission? ______ '""......................-,â- â- -&'â- â- *â- :â-  Christ's Standards of Service-â€"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 theirLJBxjQj___fhjDods7 are doing to co? operate with other virile church ac- tivities... v "King of England" There Then in the evening will be held urday, with Wednesday as aâ€"day ntnotheir4?iy**ncctii»g in Mandel-Hally " ~ with the head of the EnglislrBrother- hobdâ€"sometimes called King of~Eng- landâ€"in the chair. This will be what Courtenay Barber, chairman of the Convention committee, calls a "One hundred percent meeting", for the soeakers will,be Dr. Joshi of Baroda College, India, who has made such an impression throughout the American surch 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 topip "Sharing our Best with the World" a topic that is vitally impor- tant today but not overly comfortable to the Christian men of America. lill be "The Challenge of Youth to Are we Americans sharing our bless 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, 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 thje discussion of "How to Secure the Best Officers for the Church Army". That master of elo- quence, Bishop Wise, wifl 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, Deatf Ladd of Berkeley, Dean Ivins of Nashotah, and Dean Wells of Sewanee. This galaxy ought to b£ 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 the same subject in a different way, under the leadership of the Rev. Ed- ward H. Bonsall, Jr., son o f 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 4?ld St. James', the Brotherhood's birthplace, a church founded before Chicago was an in- corporated city. Here is the me- morial chapel=in^,Ju_noj _ x*f ^Jjae, 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 the | BrotherhoOdl| throughout Mr: Houghteling's presidency; George A. King of the English Brotherhood; and the Ret. 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. Hold Corporate Communion That evening will be given over to what experienced convention-goers look forward to as the second great- est event of the convention, the Prep- aration for the Corporate jpommun- ion. /All guests of the Brotherhood who are communicants of our church are more than welcome to., partake with the members of the organization at the sacred Communion service on Sunday morning; and all are welcome' at the' p>epai-atiOn^!M held at St."..
