FINDS FLAWS IN NET OF RELIGION
"We Seek Souls as 'Disciples Fished-with Torn Nets," Says the Rev. Dr. Foulkes.
TELLS FAULTS OF CHURCH
Modern Teachings Unable to Hold Young People; Speaks Before Sunday Evening Club.
" The church today is fishing with broken nets mostly," said the Rev. William H. Foulkes of New York last night before the Sunday Evening club in Orchestra hall. " The church does not catch nien and women in its nets because the strands, which should be woven of living men and women, are torn." The speaker modernized the story from the New Testament which teils of the ill fuck experienced by the fishermen disciples of Christ on the sea of Galllee. He said the rea- eon the church missed so many men through its broken nets was the same that caused Galliean fishermen to lose thelr catch of the Bea-not unwillingness to work but ineffl- ciency.
" The eymbol of the broken net is not one of unwillingness but of inefficiency," said he. " It is the same kind of Inefficiency in eervice displayed by those of Christ's disciples who sent away the mothers who brought thelr children to Christ. It is the inefficiency in service of the disciplee who deserted the Sa- vior in the hour of his trial.
Peter's Life Affords Lesson.
" The Simon Peter of the broken net wae the Simon Peter who denled hie Lord. Simon Peter of the rock became the Simon Peter of the crumbling sand. It wae the same man who later. was to fish for men and to go finally to his martyrdom as hle master had done. That was after the miracle of the un- broken net had been accomplished by the risen Christ, and the peasante and fishermen of the shore and sea of Galilee had accom- piished their work which was to turn the whole world upside down.
"The church of today is flehing with broken nets when it falls to perform Its great act of social service in the sea of humanity. Itis not because the church is not willing, but be- cause of inefficient eervice. You and I are not the fishermen. There is but one fisher- man and that is Christ. We are the net. You and I form the fibere of the net where- with he is seeking to fleh for men. He is the master fisher, and it Is a eorrowful thought that the master often catches noth- Ing because the net is broken.
Church Neglects Young People.
" The net which the master is using to catch men and women in must be knit to- gether with living hearts and souls, or else it will not do Its work. I have often seen young boys and girls leaving the church about the time that they have reached an age when they begin to rule their own livee. It is because they can get through the net of our ecclesiastical doctrines.
"There Is only one net through wbich men cannot fall, and that is the one made out of active Christian men and women, the living, intelligent meshes which will hoid by love and self-sacrifice and conviction of du- ties to be done ali those who come in contact with the church and Its principies.
" We have in our great cltles experts who teach business efficiency. I have attended business meetings which were conducted by these experts, who teach men highly trained in the work of the commercial world how to make $2 where they had only made $1 be- fore, how to save a few cents where fewer cents had been saved before.
Sees Need for Business Acumen.
" I have marveled at the great skill and acumen displayed by these experts. Their work showed the highest degree of special- ization and perfection, all for efficiency in service. If only part of that study and effi- ciency' were displayed in the work .of the church, in the task of fishing for men, how greatly different the result of the church work today would be. I am looking forward to the time when euch conditione will prevail in the church which I love and labor for. I am hoping for the time to come when we shail all display not only willingnese but efficiency in the labor of fishing for men."
Mrs. Mable Sharp Herdien, soloist, sang "The Lord Ie My Light." The choir, as- Bisted by Mrs. Herdien, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Green, sang the anthem, "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord." The audience was the typical Sunday Evening ciub, men in the ma- jorlty.

THE NEW ALTAR.
The above is a cut of the new and permanent Altar which after much deliberation on the part of the vestry is to be installed in Grace Church. It is to be of Arkansas marble and elaborately sculptured with scriptural scenes in panels on the front. Two funds making a total of $1,800 are already in hand for the purpose. A like amount will be still needed to complete the expense, and to the generosity of the congregation we must look for this

sumn. It will take five months to complete the work, therefore donations toward this object might well be in four payments, made June, July, August and September first.
From the proceeds of the Easter offering $1,500 has been paid upon the mortgage, reducing it from $17,500 to $16,000.
THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING.
This is an event of great interest and supreme importance. Reports are given from every organization in the Parish of what has been accomplished through its agency during the year past. This makes the Parish Meeting interesting to all members of societies. This alone should insure a large attendance.
Then reports are read by the Parish officers. All are invited to hear what moneys have been raised and for what purposes they have been expended. Here one can learn of the needs of the Church and the burdens it has to carry. At no other time can one get so intelligent a grasp of Parish affairs. One can not appreciate our tasks and plans, what we need and what we hope, except as it is obtained at the Parish Meeting. At this time the officers are elected for the coming year and all matters of interest can be brought up for discussion. Since the last Parish Meeting $5,500 has been paid upon our interest-bearing debt. More than one hundred new regular contributors to the support of the Church have been added. This is a splendid record and merely shows what can be done and in increased measure expected from universal and united effort. This meeting will take place in the Church Monday evening at S o'clock.
LETTERS OF TRANSFER.
Our Church law provides that all communicants coming into a parish shall bring a letter of transfer. It is further provided that names of persons who have removed shall not after two years' absence be reported to the conven- tion. Under these laws, I find that a large number of former communi- cants of Grace Church have had their names dropped, and I am consequently unable to transfer them. For the same reason many applying for letters to bring to Grace Church are unable to get them. It is thus advisable for one to take immediately upon removal, even if the time of stay seems uncertain, the letter of transfer, and so avoid the possibility of finding their names dropped from all lists and so becoming lost in the enumerating of the Church. Bring your letter when you come. Take your letter when you go.
MEN'S CLUB.
One of the most remarkable meetings of the Men's Club ever held was the minstrel show and dance given at the Oak Park Club House on Thursday evening last. The hall and parlors were crowded and many were unable to get in and went away. The program, which would be too long for publication here, was varied, and the six end men, assisted by Frank Baird Eells, inter- locutor, kept the audience in a roar of laughter by their jokes, songs and gags for about two hours.
The officers were the subject of jokes and stories which the end men told with great gusto, and their physical peculiarities were referred to in language' that brought forth long and loud laughter.
Master Harold McGahey sang "My Hero" with much tenderness and feeling and Marshall Dutton's rendition of "Down by the Old Mill Stream"

and "Silver Threads Among the Gold" awoke fond memories in the minds of the older guests. Both singers were well received and were repeatedly en- cored.
The Club's genial treasurer, Mr. John H. Brenner, "the Club's most eligible bachelor," was in ecstacies of delight as he contemplated the plethoric roll of greenbacks in the hands of Mr. Moore, who had charge of the tickets. John, who loves a surplus and hates a deficit, was very happy indeed. Pro- fessor Osborne scored another success in his selection of Mr. Parsoe to drill the cast in the minstrel show.
Mr. Payne presented the report of the nominating committee, which con- tained the names of the two tickets to be voted on at the annual meeting and banquet to be held May 17th next. Remember and reserve this date as it is the most important meeting of the year. Mr. Mathison is greatly pleased with the success of the entertainment, and expressed himself as having thor- oughly enjoyed the whole performance. President Center and the officers feel highly gratified at the manner in which the people took advantage of the opportunity of seeing what the Men's Club of Grace Church can do when they try.
PARISH NOTES.
The complimentary luncheon given by the women of Grace Church Parochial Guild in honor of Mrs. F. R. Bagley, their retiring president, was held in the Parish House Wednesday at one o'clock, and attended by 79 persons. As guests of honor nearly all the former presidents of the organization were present. It was indeed a happy event and its memory will linger long in the minds of all, not only for the bountiful menn, fanltlessly prepared and served among decorations of spring blossoms by St. Katharine's Guild, but also for the excellent speeches and ready wit of the participants. The presi- dent, Mrs. J. Hornsey, in a charming little address introduced as toast mistress Mrs. Chas. Seabury, the first president of the Guild as an organiza- tion. She delightfully gave a most interesting account of her administration and also recollections of "pre-historic" days when the work was done by meetings at the homes of members. There were then gracefully presented the presidents who followed Mrs. Scabury in the order of their service. Each one responded and related some anecdote of interest or innovation made in her respective term of office, in manner charming to appreciative listeners as was testified hy frequent bursts of applanse. The former presi- dents who spoke were Mrs. G. Worthington, Mrs. F. Borwell, Mrs. F. Maynard, Mrs. G. Ingersoll, Mrs. Chamberlain, Mrs. Tristram and Mrs. Brooks. Mrs. Bagley as the special guests added to her report the thanks and deep appreciation she felt for the compliment tendered by the presence of so many fellow workers at such a lovely Inncheon. In conclusion a toast was given standing to the "Past, Present and Future" of the Guild, with the hope that the watchwords of "pre-historic" days, "Unity, Co-operation and Loyalty," might ever be the same in the coming years. After singing Auld Lang Syne with much fervor, the president declared the festivities at an end. It would not be fitting to close the record of such an enjoyable after- noon without a word of praise to its originator, Mrs. E. HI. Center, to whom a large measure of its success was dne. She acted as chairman of all arrangements, assisted by the vice-president. Mrs. Knight, and an able committee of Guild members.
There will be an all-day meeting of the Guild next Friday, May 5th, to complete the work now under way. A full attendance is earnestly desired.
The lecture for the benefit of the Chicago Homes for Boys has been post- poned from May 6th to May 13th.

GRACE CHURCH ITEMS.
The monthly meeting of the Chicago Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary will be held Thursday, May 4th, at 11 o'clock at the Church Club Rooms, 510 Masonic Temple. The United Offering will be the topic presented at this meeting.
The food sales are discontinued until further notice. It is expected that they will be resumed in the fall.
Three days this week the Parish House has proven inadequate to our needs. Monday evening five organizations tried to meet, with the result that Parish House, offices, Church and kitchen all combined were not enough to provide even cramped and unsuitable accommodation for each. Thursday evening's minstrel show in despair betook itself to the Oak Park Club, and Friday the Junior Auxiliary met in a private house as usual, because the Parochial Guild used up the accommodation of the Parish House.
This week the envelopes for the coming year will be distributed. This is a good time to make a pledge to the Church if you have not already done so. No matter how small your circumstances may compel you to make it, the treasurer will be glad to receive and credit you with your offering. We need 300 ten-cent pledges and 200 five cent a week pledges at Grace Church. It would give us the $2,000 a year of which we stand so badly in need. Will you help us in this matter?

THE ANNIVERSARY.
The services and social features of our thirtieth birthday passed off with a success at once highly creditable and pleasing. The congregations were good, the spirit was Christian, hearty and sincere. The dinner of last Saturday evening in the parish house, when it was filled with loyal and loving people until no more could be accommodated, was a striking feature indeed. It was served delightfully by the Girls' Friendly Society and was all that could be desired. The addresses of the Rev. E. Croft Gear and Dr. Lloyd were strong and telling, while that paper of Mr. Ritchie was a classic indeed. Many persons have requested its publication but no one has yet offered to pay the printer. It is worthy of publication, of being printed upon parchment, but above all things else for Christian love, worthy of being engraved upon the heart of every parishioner of Grace Church.
