Charles D. Kreider as its representa¬ tive. The meetings of the conference be¬ gan with a very beautiful memorial service in the Chapel ot the Inter¬ cession, one of the chapels of the famous Trinity Parish of the Episco¬ pal church in New York City, at loSth street and Broadway. The Rev. Dr. Howard Duffleld. pastor emeritus ot the First Presbyterian church of New York City, delivered an eloquent and .inspiring address, and a stone which had been taken from Rochester Cathedral, England, and built into the altar of the Chapel was consecrated, Rochester was the scene ot many incidents In the life of Charles Dickens, and the story of his last book, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," is woven about its cathe¬ dral. At the conclusion of this service, ",-. procession was formed and was led to the Trinity cemetery opposite where the body of .Alfred Tennyson Dickens, a son of Charles Dickens, lies buried in an unmarked grave. Each Fellowship represented had been asked to send a wreath to be idaced upon this grave. The Naza¬ reth Fellow.-ihip had sent a hand- prepared by of Bethlehem, some wreath of ivy, Sawyer and Johnson Pa. After a brief, but impressive ceremony, these wreaths were placed on the grave in the form of a cross, the Nazareth wreath forming the foot of the cross. After the service a number of the delegates were entertained at din¬ ner at the homes of members of the New York City Fellow-ship. An early start was made on Mon¬ day morning on a sight-seeing tour of the city, including a visit to the top of the Woolworth Building, and ending at the National Arts Club, on Gramercy Park, 19th street, where a conference meeting was held. At this meeting each representa¬ tive w-as called upon to report upon the activities of the Branch repre¬ sented and many interesting facts were brought out. The largest Fel¬ lowship is that of Toronto, Canada, with a membership of 752. New York and Philadelphia charge the highest membership dues, $3; Beth¬ lehem and Nazareth, the lowest, 25 cents. Philadelphia told of some In¬ teresting Christmas parties, and .Montreal of a great deal of dramatic work. All are doing something for poor and crippled children. Before the close of this meeting, .Mr. .Alexander, treasurer ot the New" York Fellowship, rose and said that he desired to call particular atten¬ tion to the wreath which had been placed upon the grave of Alfred Tennyson Dickens by the Fellowship of Nazareth, Pa.

The Rev. Dr. Howard Duffleld. pastor emeritus ot the First Presbyterian church of New York City, delivered an eloquent and .inspiring address, and a stone which had been taken from Rochester Cathedral, England, and built into the altar of the Chapel was consecrated, Rochester was the scene ot many incidents In the life of Charles Dickens, and the story of his last book, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," is woven about its cathe¬ dral. At the conclusion of this service, ",-. procession was formed and was led to the Trinity cemetery opposite where the body of .Alfred Tennyson Dickens, a son of Charles Dickens, lies buried in an unmarked grave. Each Fellowship represented had been asked to send a wreath to be idaced upon this grave. The Naza¬ reth Fellow.-ihip had sent a hand- prepared by of Bethlehem, some wreath of ivy, Sawyer and Johnson Pa. After a brief, but impressive ceremony, these wreaths were placed on the grave in the form of a cross, the Nazareth wreath forming the foot of the cross. After the service a number of the delegates were entertained at din¬ ner at the homes of members of the New York City Fellow-ship. An early start was made on Mon¬ day morning on a sight-seeing tour of the city, including a visit to the top of the Woolworth Building, and ending at the National Arts Club, on Gramercy Park, 19th street, where a conference meeting was held. At this meeting each representa¬ tive w-as called upon to report upon the activities of the Branch repre¬ sented and many interesting facts were brought out.

Philadelphia told of some In¬ teresting Christmas parties, and .Montreal of a great deal of dramatic work. All are doing something for poor and crippled children.
