leave for Woodstock in March,
Rev. C. C. Washington, Auburn,,
gave 'a most stimulating talk on the
life and. works of "Brother Laur-
ence", a "practical mystic's of the
seventeenth century. The son of a.
peasant ,he served as a soldier dur-
ing the early part of his life. Con-
verted at eighteen, he entered a.
monastery when forty years of age
where he served as a lay brother ins*
the kitchen until his death at eighty-
one, "The Practice of the Presence
of God," "Spiritual Maxims," and.
"Sixteen Letters," were his chief lit-
erary works. He learned to live on.
intimate terms with God as he went
about his work in the kitchen and to
practice the presence of God amid.
the clatter of the dishes ,even more
than through formal prayers. Any
one who is willing to pay the price
may thus become conscious of God's
presence.
A very enjoyable half-hour follow '
ed when the hostess, Mrs. Pollock,
served delicious refreshments. Rev,
E. 0. Lancaster conveyed the hearty
thanks of the group to the host and.
hostess for their hospitality.
