Nelson, secretary of the house of bishops, then read the special bible lessons arranged for the occasion. The Right Reverend Edward T. Lines, bishop of the diocese , of Newark, preached the sermon of exhortation to the assembled delegates Bishop Walter Taylor Summer, of the Diocese of Oregon, was master of ceremonies. Hundreds of churchmen partook ot the holy communion this morning in the Episcopal churches throughout the city. The houses of bishops and deputies celebrated their corporate , communion in Trinity church, while I the delegates to the Triennial con vention of the Women's Auxiliary made their communion at St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral. This afternoon the various houses and departments of the convention w ere in session for preliminary organization.and the business for which 5000 , and more delegates and members of I the church are assembling here was. r in actual motion. I One of the most elaborate social ] I events of the General Convention has I been set for tonight, visiting bishops land their families will be entertained as the guests of Bishop Walter Sum-1 ner at Bishopcroft, the Oregon Epis- ‘ copal residence. The presiding Bish-, op. Bishop Tuttle, and his sister. Miss Sarah R. White, of St. Louis, Bishop and Mrs. Thomas F. Gailor, of New ■ York city, and Bishop and Mrs. Wai ter T. Sumner will receivd the guests. The actual business of the convention will start tomorrow, including any preliminary work which was not : completed today. The reports of vari t I ous committees appointed at the last 1 general convention will be received as the initial movement of the ma ■ chinery of the great gathering. The city of Portland has opened its i heart to the visiting clergy and lay * delegates. Hotels, apartmeht houses l and private dwellings have their I quotas, and many delegates who ' brought their families with them have taken houses for the period of the convention, which will be about three weeks. ! Almost as many clerical dollars may be seen on the streets now as were fezes when the annual convention of the Mystic Shrine claimed Portland for its own. Sample of Famine Flour Arrives From Rossis I New York, Sept. 9 —The first sam- | pie to reach this country of the now J famous “famine flour" of the Russions g has been received in New York at the offices of the National Lutheran Council, an American relief organization working in Russia in cooperation with. the American Relief Administration. Gritty, dark brown in color, and smelling like new earth from the garden, this substance of which the starving Russians bake their bread appears unpalatable, unwholesome, and totally unfit to be eaten. No substance like it is used for food, nor would be tolerated, by the people of any portion of the United States. The “flour" is composed of the ground up seed of Lebeda, with clay mixed in for adhesiveness. It has been used for eighteen months throughout the Volga region, wherever American food was unable to penetrate, and is now in use in the Ukraine and the Black Sea area, where the famine is still raging. The particular sample received by the National Lgitheral Council left Russia byway of Poland, being carried along by the cholera refugees who streamed across the border to the west last, spring. It was not taken out of Russia as a curiousity to be exhibited, but as the only food to be carried along on the weary journey of several hundred miles on foot. The little box was sent to America by Rev. Rudolph Kersten, Canadian pastor from Bashaw, Alberta. who volunteered last year to go to Poland to fake care of a vacant Lutheran parish which includes four cities and 140 villages Rev. Kersten believed that as soon as Americans actually saw the unbelievably filthy food on which the refugees were dependent they would do everything in their power to rush aid to Europe. New York City Health Commissioner Royal S. Copeland, who has had tests made of the flour for its food value states that persons eating bread made of it would receive no nourishment, while the digestive organs would be so affected as to cause certain death. It is his opinion that it is a “terrible thing that those people are forced to fill their stomachs with such stuff. It contains no nourishment rn speak of. t It satisfies appetite, but not hunger. It starves off the pangs but results iu certain death.” The Dramatic Department of the Woman's club will hold on meeting in the Old Adams County Bank at 7 f3O o’clock Saturday evening. All members are urged to be present.
