It has since been very generallj acknowledged that the influence cf thii^ conlerence brought a new and infinite ly better relation between the Noru. and the South in the soiution of educu tional probleais than had ever eixste^ before. The tablet commemorating thi. great meeting is inscribed as follc.^'t.

Ihat distinguished prelate was “some where in Italy" when war broke out is. 1914 and hife relatives were anxiou: stbout his return. I was happy to b. in an official position then where . co’„ld co-operate in finding a w'ay i'.* the beloved bishop to return to Nori. Carolina. When I called, the bishop was presiding ovei an annual raeetin,^ of Moravian ministers and 1 had tll^. pleasure of meeting them. Requesi- ing a statement about the object of, this yearly gathering, one of the nun- isters furnished this memoranduin which has the merit of history and i. forv ard look as well; Ever since Salem was founded m lTt)5, the first Thursday in the New Year has been set apart by the Mora vian Church in the Southern province for a vesper meeting of the Moravian mmisters and their wives in the home of the bishop of the province. Sitting about a common board sim ply furnished, coffee and sugared pretzels are served, following a brief season of prayer and singing. The ancient china cups and saucers are still in use after nearly a century and a half of service. . For many years Bishop Rondthaler has presided at this service and has set forth the plans and purposes foi the New Year. During liis term of office as bisho^ the Southern Moravian Church ha^ more than quadrupled its membership The bishop and assembled members are rejoiced to welcome Mr. Josephus Daniels as their guest at this year's vesper service. The influence of the Moravians upoi. the religious life of the world has ex .ended far beyond their own com munion. John Wesley frequently pressed his profound obligations tt the Moravians, with whom he spen some time, for that deepening of hi. spiritual life which was so marke. among Methodists. They keep clos. 1,0 the ancient beliefs and hold x'mth, changing, nothing in fundu mentals. J- D. LUNCHEON TO CABINET.

Parker, Elizabeth Gillespie, Annie 'i. Archbell, Georgia Riddle, Hattie Mose ley, Alice Watson, Eliza G.

LECTURE ON ARCHITECTURE, A most interesting lecture was given by Miss Ruth Rogers on Mon day night under the auspices of the McDowell Club. The title of the lec ture was the Development of Archi tecture. Miss Rogers handled her subject ably, tracing the progress of Architecture from the most primitTv^c structures of the earliest times down through the stateliest and most mag nificent structures of modem times. The lecture was illustrated by slides which Miss Rodgers erxplained, making clear the fact that we have obtained Our most beautiful architecture from the ancients; even with all the acfiieve- ments of the modem age, we have not surpassed their genius of creation and desig^n.
