At St Philip's Episcopal church at
Darham Sunday afternoon Messrs
Charles M Basbee and James I John
eon, of Raleigh, delivered addresses
on i he brotherhood of St Andrew.
These addresses, the Darham Globe
says, were beard with much interest.
Bt Andrew's brotherhood is an or.
ganization of laymen of the Protest
tant Episcopal church, and 't is gov
rned by two rales, service and
prayer. The members try to secure
attendance upon the ministrations of
the gospel, and devote a portion
of each day to prayer for the congre

is doing good. It has organizations
in both the Episcopal churches.
