Thus, a package of clothing which would keep a family comfortable for the winter must be sold to second-hand dealer for a trifle. If. on the other hand, each conference would t.ud a clothing depot to Its activities, thla could be maintained without a penny of cost, and In any parish It would be cosy to find half dozen charitable women who would give an evening in the week lo distributing the clothing to the poor families the conference would recommend.

14. In memory of Thomas Fitch Rowland, former senior warden of the V. E. Church of the Ascension, on Kent street, Green-point, a bronze tablet was unveiled yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. In the presence of a large congregation.

The Right Kev. James H. Darlington, Bishop of Harrlsburg, delivered a eulogy on the character of the deceased warden. Thomas Fitch Rowland died six years ago last Saturday. He was the founder of the Continental Iron Works, one of the oldest foundries lu New York City, aud the one which turned out the Monitor, made famous by its spectacular de-fiat of the Confederate Merrlmac.

He was largely responsible for the upbuilding of the Ureenpolnt congregation, aud gave largely of his time aud energy toward that end. At the conclusion of the Blshop'g ser The annual meotlne of the St. Vincent 1c Paul Society was held in the schoo'-lmll of St. Jiunrs Fro-Cathedral last night aud over 100 members were present, together with the members ot the Catholic Board of Charities. Yearly reports were made by the committees, and tha work that has been doue by the Vtn-centlans in their philanthropic activities was decidedly llliimliiiitlug to the few non-members present.

I'rAKlricnt Thomas W. Hynes presided, and made a strong appeal for support, lie said that this is the season when the greatest demands are made upon the individual conferences. Thesu distressed fuiulllng make their first appeal to tho society, particularly In the Y'ulctlde season, when thny are anxious to enjoy lappy Christmas.

Ho recalled the Illness that overtook blni after six months of exhausting effort, which culminated In his fainting In the pulpit. One morning while convalescent, the preacher eald, a letter was delivered to him. It came from Thomas Fitch Row-laud, and luclosed a check to cover all the expenses Incurred by tho rector In bis Illness. Mr. Rowland was then only an acquaintance of a few months.

Favorite hymns of Mr. Rowland were sung by the choir. The tablet Is the work of the father of the Rev. Mr. Bentley, and was wade by hand.

It Is Inscribed as follows: In loving memory of THOMAS FITCH IIOWUXD, nie greatest benefactor or thla parish. Born March 13th, lSol. Uli December 13th, 1907 "Well done, thou good und faithful servant" Erected by the vestry.

It showed that ove' $22, 0110 was expended on furnishing groceries and fuel to the deserving poor und over fll.000 on clothing. Tha wants of 2. 410 families have, been attended to in that time, and In tiiose families 11.324 persons havo been relieved. A featuro of the report was tho statement that visits to various families have been piado in the past nine months. For the past six months the members lu.ve followed up all applications made 1o the Dtpartmeut of Charities for tho commitment of Catholic children.

Where the relief asked for has been denied by the department they have either sked for a rehearing ot the case or have obtained the relief needed from some other quarter. In eouuectinn with the remarks made by 1'resldent Hynes, Patrick Mallon called attention to tho various ways in which people can help tha society.

It Is true that during the past four years the arrest of children was discountenanced by the administration and this, no doubt, had tho effect of keeping down the Increase In the work of the Children's Court ns compared with the Increase In the population. "Tho nativity of the children brought before the court also forms an Interesting study. There Is a public Impression which prevails widely that almost the entire time of the criminal courts Is taken up with the trail of foreign-born offenders. A week or so ago there was a letter in The Eagle from a woman who was opposing "Votes for Women," and her argument was that such a law would enfranchise foreign-born women who, of course, could not be trusted to vote Intelligently, and our civilization would suffer In consequence. But the statistics of the Children's Court tell a somewhat different story, for Instance, out of 820 children arrested for disorderly conduct In Brooklyn last year.

784, or 8SMi per were born In the United States. Out of 326 arrested for larceny, 321, or about 90 per were born In the United States. Of 2SS charged with assault. 260 were born in the United States. Of the total number of children arrestod last vear for olfenscs against persons and property, 2,198 out of 2.52S about 80 per cent.

were born In the United States." The Rev. ltancls J. O'Hara, pastor of St. James', head ot th Board of Charities and spiritual director of the St. Vlnceut da Paul organization, addressed the members on the possibilities of the society.

He read some statistics showing that sixty-one conferences had been rreated In Paris, Trance, Inside of a year, and that no new parish was established without an accompanying conference being started. He said there should be concerted action here toward instituting new conferences with every new parish that is founded, and said it might be well to follow the example et by the men of Paris. The other members ot the board who were present were the Rev. Locksley Appo, the Rev. John B.

Gorman, the Rev. Hlgglns and the Rev. George W. Metzger.

On the third Sunday In Advent two years ago this OUR POPULAR BRANDS Club Beer Jersey Cretvm. Ale congregation was first called together to Half and Half 03 "Like the Flowers in an Old Fashioned Garden are the Songs in Heart Songs" found a parish In the part of Brooklyn known as Mldwood.

The nearest Episcopal churches were St. John the Baptist's, in Parkville; the Nativity, In Van-derveer Park, and the Epiphany at Kings Highway. Archdeacon Webb took the initiative In forming this new parish of St Simon, and the event has Justified hlg effort. At the first service, in a store on Avenue twenty-five persons were present; at the first session of the Sunday school, the same day, ten children came for Instruction. Recently the attendance on a Sunday has been known to go to 100, and there are now seventy children In the Sunday school.

In observance of tbs anniversary yesterday the first service was Holy Communion at 8 a.m., wlh a good attendance. 10:45 the Rev. Henry M. Hart conducted service, Archdeacon Webb, who Is still pastor of this congregation, being obliged to be absent. At the afteruuon service the Rev.

Dr. Swentzel, tha well-known rector of St. Luke's Church, lu Clinton avenue, preached, and the archdeacon gave some figures to illustrate the growth and cevolopiuent of tlir congregation. He told bis people that the total income this second year had been above $1,100, whereas for the Brat year It was but $319. He spoke of the gen erous belp that had beeu given to the new congregation by the archdeaconry In providing and renting to them at a small rental tho attractive portable church In which the cungregatiou uo He emphasized the growth that had resulted since the congregation moved out of the stoto and into Its church.

Noticeable in the report was the faci that the new congregation had been con trlbutlug since the slart to tho general and local causes of the church, to tin general missionary work, and to the local missionary work In Brooklyn, to the charities of the church, and to til relief of the sufferers by tha great floods of last spring. St. Simon's, a year ago, at Its first anniversary, had an average attendance of about twenty, owned no property and had only surplus accumulated tuward the aocpjlsltlon of propertj. It now owns a plot of flvo lots on the corner of Avenue aud East Twelfth street, and Its congregation Is Increasing month by mouth. The Indications point to a development of a good strong parish as this section of the borough builds up.

PR, BARRETT AT ALL SOULS Chicago Pastor Preaches Inspir-ingly on Remedy for Evils. Preaching ia All Souls Universalis! Church, Ocean and Ditiuns avenues. Flatbush. yesterday morning, the Rev. Dr.

A. Eugene Bartlett of Chicago gave an inspiring sermou on "The Cure." After reviewing briefly some of the present existing conditions In the world of today social, financial, political and otherwise Dr. Bartlett said that In bis mind tho only reasonable cure for this state of affairs is for each person, as an Individual, to try to set some worthy aim or standard and then to live up to It faithfully. "To be truly religious," said the visiting minister, "ono must be thoroughl) honest, and honeBt with himself, too. Try the kindness treatment everywhere.

If we'll but Increase the individual kindness, then this old problom of ours will lose its formidable appearance. "The call is Insistent. Tho need today Is great. You havo your part and your strength with which to perform It Through our effort only will this miracle euro be wrought. Then will America be saved and the kingdom of God shall come Into the hearts of men." Dr.

Bartlett, who la the pastor of tho Unlversnlist Church of the Redeemer, In Chicago, is one of those being considered as a possiblo successor to tho Rev. Dr. L. Ward Brlgham, tho pastor who recently resigned from All Souls. In the evening, Dr.

Bartlett addressed tho meeting of the Young People's Christian Union, speaking on "Christmas In Other Lands." Incidentally he told what ho thought about present customs here at Christmas time and deplored some ot the too commercial customs which exist. Particularly he deplored the spirit with which sorao people carry on Christmas giving. THE FIRE RECORD. (From a letter to the publishers by a distinguished literary woman.)
