Bishop. Brewster Touches on
church Fairs. Shows and
Other Forms of Entertain-
ment as a Means of Raising
Funds for Christian Purposes
I
HARTFORD, June 13.——Holy Com-
munion was administered to the cler‘
gyme'n and diocesan delegates at the
opening today of tiie annual conven-
tion of the Episcopal diocese of Con-
nectlcut iii the Church of the Good
Shepherd. Then followed the annual
sermon by Bishop Brewster, who‘, in
the course of his address, touched tip-
on church fairs and sales. He said:
Certainly the proceeds of labor may
legitimately be sold for the benefit of
the church. it should, however, be. al-
ways at prices that are fair and hon-
est. Moreover no churchman will
countenance money getting devices
which are illegal or which are illegal
or which are in bad taste and demor-
aiizing. I am constrained to call you
attention to certain considerations in
regard to the method of raising money
for the church by entertainments. This
question is not to be confused with the
social gathering of our people.
That. has its place in the church as
a brotherhood. The church supper of
today may serve the purpose of the
primitive love-feast. The love-toast,
i'iowcver. required careful watching.
There is the possibility of sucking
pecuniary profit for the church by
means which tend to lower its dignity
as an institution. In the advertise—
ment of many ecclesiastical catch-
penny performances, showa ofdivci-s
descriptions. dances and card parties.
there are. I fear. signs of a tiircatcii~
ed degeneration in the popular conccp.
tion of what the church is. True;
Christ‘s religion is social and his
church a brotherhood. But it is a so-
cial fellowship in the holy spirit and
not in the spirit of the. world. and
it is a brotherhood under the mastery
of our crucified Redeemer and ascend-
ed‘ Lord. That Master and that Spirit
demand a certain lofty and sacred scr.
lousness.
The priesthood which the Iaitv
share lifts the \vliolc matter of church
support up to a higher plane, what
is given Where Is soon to be not a. do-
nation io be, coaxed out of people but
a tribute to be willingly offered, as
part of the worship of God. The con-
victlp of priesthood at once confronts
us with the spiritual character of the
church. The parish in mole than ii
business association or a civil ionora-
tion. It has another side to which
all those matters of property and NW
enue are only means. I havo known.
parishes whose high character and no-
ble traditions may be iraccd to some
one layman who rcaiizcd his pl‘iostv
hood.
The loyal layman will rise above not
only I. petty parochiallsm, but also ii
provincial diocesanti-im. lie will prize
the privileges of his priestly citizenv
ship in the august commonwealth of
the Catholic church for all the nations.
Those privileges imply the responsibil-
Ity of being informed as to Its history
and Its present affairs and of intent
gently participating in its chief buii
inesu. Christian missions.
\ In missions we have only one man-
‘ifestation. of the essential character-
iistic of Christianity that while If is
very personal It is in no sense indix
vidualistlc. It involves a personal

the part of Christians against such
result. if it be true that In this his-
toric state prevail practices which
tend to degrade and debauch our po-

ourselves on the score of the influx

Is they who, to use the words of one
of them, “want to know what there

It will not do feebly to acquiesce
and say nothing can be done. The re-
cent experience of a ,large city has
furnished a lesson of encouragement
as to what may be accomplished in
stirring the public conscience to the
overthrow of seemingly triumphant

wrong, rotting out. our political fibre,
the time will come when something
must be done to avert the threatened

or city, state and nation, in devoted
care for civic righteousness and in
genuine courage on its beiiulf.
(.‘liiirchmaiiship, it will not be for-
gotten, is more than a citizenship.
The citizenship involves priesthood
The priesthood of discipleship has
been fulfilled in at least one histori-
cal instance. If a priestly life is a
Chrlatlilie life. then look at that most
attractive figure of the Middle Ages.
that figure that becomes larger and
dearer with the lapse of time because
more clearly recognized in its t‘lii'is-
flan-likeness, that figure that is at~
tractiiig so much attention and study
today; and remember that St, Francis
of Assisine never was ordained a
priest. Among his friars who first
received the papal commission to
preach, only one was in holy orders:
The Great Franciscan ll‘illV't-‘IIII’III was

wrought. in that age.
The prcsiiit age has its problems
and its needs. A great iiced of our
modern society. with its iiiiitci‘ialisin.
commercialism and fierce competition,
its clashing self-interests. its greed
and luxury over against ciivy, hatred
and strife. is the same pricatly elo-
iiieiit adopted to present conditions.
'I‘hcrc is ncoticd today morc'und more
of the kind of Christianity that means
a priestly conception of life. according
to which oiic's life is a mission for
service and the need of others a call
to serve. Any advantages of man or
class are only large opportunities of
service. One's personal gifts are a
trust for ministration. and Ilill'tI tasks
and heavy burdcns become a willing
sacrifice for Christ‘s alike.
In this diocese and in his very city
has been given us a fine example of
service and sacrifice for others in .Iii~

ardou'a Bill in Hartford Today.
HARTFORD, June 13. ~Governor
Roberta's veto of the board of par-
dons' bill considered by the Senate as
a special order of the day. furnished
the most important feature of today's
session of that body. Meat-Gover-
nor Woodrul! called the matter from
the calendar. Senator Paige ofthe
21st district. moved reconsideration
for the purpoeeuof bringing it before
the Senate. The motion prevailed and
the senator explained again the action
of the iiidiciarycomuiittee in recom-
mending the passage of the bill. Un-
der It, be claimed. greater Justice could
be accorded applicants for pardons. He
had made an investigation of the par.
don systems in vogue in the various
states. The system in Connecticut.
he declared, was radically and funda-
mentally bad. When the present law
went into effect in 1883, Connecticut
was the first. state in the union to
adopt. such stringent regulations. The
committee was unanimous in reports“
the bill under discussion and it was
their opinion that unless a pardon case
was decidedly meritorious it would be
impossible to secure the recommenda-
tion of five members of the board. The
senator then went on to explain the
pardon law in effect in other states.
state
which required the unnlmous vote oi
the board for a prisoner's release.
There the board was "comprised of but
three members.
The committee. he said. had no per
sonal feelings in the matter, in spite
of the comments of the press.
Senator Judson referred to the pris
oner Warren—the oldest in the state's
prison. He had been informed through
the press that the bill was drafted tc
meet. his particular case. This he re-
futed iind said that for himself he had
not known of the. prisoner's existenct
until he had read of the case in tht
newspapers. Senator Judson thei
spoke of the personal of the board 0‘
pardons. it was an absurdity, he do-
clared, to believe that, any inierestet'
would stiffer If live out of the six de
cided that any particular case merited
their mercy
Thc senators. be said. should not
be influenced by any false sentiment
of sustaining the chief executive in
his veto. Such sentiment. was the
rankest nonsense. As, much as the
governor was respected his opinion
was that of one man. In Iiis‘vcto com
municatioii the iattcr had not express
cd one reason foi his oh action to th:
bill which had made any particuiai
impression on him.

The session was lightly attended and
on account of the absence of the chair
