...brotherhood rather than to discuss their differences of opinion. How anyone could see there a Greek Archbishop, a Buddhist from China, and a Confucian from Japan sitting side by side with Episcopal and Roman Bishops, talking with them in a friendly and sympathetic way and even expressing the same sentiment-and then quarrel about trivial sectarian difference is hard to understand.

The dinner is free and informal, so that every one may feel at perfect liberty to be present. The committee earnestly requests as many men as have not signed already to do so at once and it also asks that...
