SPREAD THE GOSPEL:
THE AIM OF THE BROTHERS OF ST.
ANDREW.
Bow the Society Wee Organized, How It
Has Grown and What It Has Accom
plished—The Approaching Annual Con
vention at Buffalo.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew,
which is to hold an international con
vention in Buffalo beginning Oct. 13,
• has had a wonderful growth within the
last two years, and it is expected that
the coniing’gathering will be the largest
ever held by the members of the asso
ciation. . The brotherhood is an organ
ization of men in the Protestant Epis
copal church, and it corresponds in
some respects to the Young People’s So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, the Ep
worth league and other denominational
associations of young people. ,
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew has,
however, an exclusively male member
ship, the theory being that women
naturally take a greater interest in
church work than men and- therefore
are not so much in need of a stimulus.
This eliminates the social element from
the brotherhood work. The members of
the order claim that with a serious pur
pose constantly in view they do not
need social attractions to render their
work interesting.
And the purpose of the men who wear
the red cross of St.' Andrew is very se
rious indeed. It will be remembered
that the disciple after whom the order
is named first found the Saviour and
then went and brought his brother Si
mon to the Master. Like St. Andrew,
the first aim of his modem disciples is
*to spread the gospel. They work under
two rules. One is the rule of prayer—
to pray daily for the spread of Christ’s
kingdom among men and that Christ’s
blessing may be upon the labors of the
brotherhood. The second is the rule of
service—to make an earnest effort each
■ week to bring* at least one man within
the hearing and influence of the gospel.
In many ways the St. Andrew men
might be considered as conservative
Christian workers. • Their conventions
are held quietly. They do not arrive at
the convention city in special trains,
with brass bands playing and flags
streaming. The delegates do not par
ticipate in official excursions either be
fore or after the'convention. There are
no receptions, banquets or other secular

entertainments. They are laymen, but
laymen who have for the time being
work of an entirely spiritual nature in
hand.
The order has also done away with
all public expression of rivalry between
cities for the location of the annual con
vention. This has been accomplished
by putting the selection in the hands of
the national council.
The brotherhood movement started in
St. James’ church, Chicago, on St. An
drew’s day, 1883, and at first it was
meant to be simply a parochial organ
ization. Its work, however. ,was so sue-

M letter from Mr.
JF Harry Chant, of 211 Haskell Avenue,
Dallas, Texas.
“ About fourteen or fifteen months ago
I was working with a gang of men and happened
to say to one of them, ‘ I hope it will not rain as
I have a big washing to do for the children.’
The man said, ‘ What is the matter with your
wife ? ’ ”
“For years my wife had been suffering from
what the doctors called prolapsus of uterus. She
was nervous, had cold hands and feet, palpita
tion, headache, backache, constipation, a disa
greeable drain, with bearing down pains; no ap
rrtite. She got so weak she could not get around.
am only a laborer so was always in debt with
the doctors, and all for no good, as none did her
any good. We began to think that she was never
going to get well.”
“ 1 tola this man what the doctors said was the
matter with her.” and he said ” ‘ did you ever hear
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription ?’ ” ‘‘ I told
him no, but I had tried so many patent medicines
that I was tired of them all. and besides I did not
have enough money to pay the doctor and the
drug store. He said if I would get two or
three bottles and try them, and if it did not do
my wife any good that he would pay for the med
icine. I went to the drug store (Mr. Clawber «
on Elm Street), and bought a bottle. The first
and second did not seem to have much effect but
the third seemed to work like a charm. She has
taken in all about thirteen bottles and she is to
day as stout and healthy as any woman in the
United States. This is not the only case. When
ever I hear tell of any woman who is sick in the
neighborhood I just send the book and paper that
is wrapped around every bottle and that does the
business. I am no longer bothered about doing
my own washing and cooking, for my wife can
do it all in one day and never seems tired or out
of spirits now.”

cessful in - bringing men to the church
that brotherhoods w ere formed in other
Chicago parishes and then in other cit
ies. In 188(5 there were 35 of these sep
arate brotherhood's, and it was then pro
posed to form them into a national or
ganization. This was done, and since
that time the brotherhood has spread
until there are now 1,120 active chap
ters in various parts of the United States.
The idea has also taken root in Canada,
and in the church of England of the
Dominion there are 180 chapters of the
brotherhood, with a membership of
more than 2,000. In Scotland and Aus
tralia the organization has been plant
ed, and last year the opposition with
which it was met at first in England
was overcome and the brotherhood in
troduced into the mother church.
One of the most distinguished guests
who will attend the coming interna
tional convention is Canon Gore of
Westminster abbey, who is one of the
leading theologians of the church of
England. Canon Gore is an advanced
and progressive high churchman and
has sometimes been called the “heretic
al canon.” He was the editor of the
sensational volume of essays entitled
“Lux Mundi.” He is at the head of the
community of the Resurrection, a celibate
order of priests. Canon Gore will con
duct the accustomed “quiet day” which
always precedes the formal opening of
a brotherhood convention, and he will
make an address, perhaps several. It is
expected that he will also make an ef
fort to establish a branch of the com
munity of the Resurrection in this coun
try.
Scotland will be represented by the
Very Rev. V. L. Rorison, D. D., dean
of St. Ninian’s cathedral, Perth, and he
will deliver an address to the conven
tion on ‘ ‘ Manhood. ’ ’
James L. Houghteling, the president
of the order of St. Andrew in the Unit

man. He was one of the founders of the
order and has served as president for
the last six years. He is a graduate of
Yale university and is in the banking
business. C. T. Baxter.

Two men who had been at school to

THEY LIKE THE COUNTRY.
When Retired, Naval Officers Seldom Live
in Larce Towns or Cities.
“Naval officers always settle in the
country when they can,” remarked a
prominent officer to a Star reporter.
“During their active careers—that is,
during the time they are at sea, they
are necessarily cramped for room, and
while some of them on the large mod
ern ships have elegant and sumptuous
quarters, there is necessarily a limit to
it. This thing grows on a man to such
an extent that the first thing he does
when he is retired, and in hundreds of
cases long before retirement, is to hunt
up a farm and locate on it. Three of the
admirals on the retired list, headed by
Admiral Ammen, are the owners of
farms-in the immediate locality, of
Washington, and any number of other
officers are similarly provided for,
though their farms are not so extensive.
They seem to want stretching room,
and it will be noticed that when they
do locate they secure big places. Their
minds run into stock and chicken rais
ing. The officers of the marine, corps
have been noted for years as the owners
of the speediest horses- owned or driven
about Washington, anil they have been
always prominent in connection with
our racing associations and organiza
tions'. Naval officers have been similar
ly prominent. It is different with army
officers. Their ambition seems to be for
nice houses in the cities. The naval of
ficers’ ideas all run toward the country.
I don't like to give names, but I could
give dozens of illustrations to prove
what I say, if it were necessary. Take a
look at tho incoming cars from any of
the suburban places around Washing
ton any morning, and there will be
sufficient proof of what I say.”—Wash

The Alleged Object of Prince Alexander's
Visit to America.
Prince ' Alexander of Tcck, who Is
soon to visit this country for the pur ■
pose of wooing, as it is rumored, an
American heiress, is the youngest son
of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. His
brother-in-law, the Duke of York, may
some time be the ruler of England, for
he is tho eldest son of the Prince of
Wales. Prince Alexander is a tall, ath
letic young man of 23, who has always
behaved himself and in whose future
Queen Victoria has taken no little in
terest. Long ago she arranged that he
should marry Wilhelmina, the little
queen of Holland.
There has been some hitch in this ar
rangement, aiid -the prospects are that
tho Dutch queen will not take a Teck
for a consort. In this event it is prob
able that the prince will, wed Miss
Mary Goelet, daughter of the late Og
den Goelet. Miss Goelet’s mother, who
was one of the Wilson girls, is of that
family of famous matchmakers. The
prince met tho young woman last spring
and is said to. have been very much
taken with her. Through the aid of th"
Prince of, W T ales he contrived that her

parents should meet the queen, and the
royal lady was much pleased with them,
so much so in fact that it is alleged she
gave her conditional assent to the pro
posed match. The condition was that
Prince Alexander should first try his
best to persuade Wilhelmina to accept
him. Less than a month ago Prince
"Lecky” went to Holland. What the
result of his perfunctory wooing was
has not yet been divulged, but it is
known that after reporting to Queen
Victoria he at once made arrangements

The prince will be the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Burrell-Hoffman at

Question. —Can you tell me some
thing of the cultivation and habits of
the Canada pea? I have heard that
they will grow through the winter and
be ready to cut for hay by the middle of
spring. Are they considered good feed
for stock?
Answer. —We have as yet had at the
south very few experiments with the
Canada pea. The hay is kuown to be
a very fine feed for cows and sheep, as
it is rich in proteine. It has been sug
gested that the crop be sown in October
on laud of average fertility. Plow and
work fine, then sow the peas at the rate
of two bushels to the acre. They should
be covered deep, at least 4 or 5 inches.
If the peas are killed down by severe
cold they will come up again and be
ready for cutting about May. A good
plan is to sow these peas and oats on
the same land. First plow in the pea
to the depth of 4 or 5 inches, about a
bushel to the acre, then harrow in the
oats, about the same quantity of seed.
The crops will mature together and .the
hay be mucli finer than oats alone, the
proteine in the peas making a well bal
anced ration and a good substitute for
cottonseed meal or bran.—State Agri
cultural Department.
