Charitable Religious Societies.
Never before in the history of the
Christian church have the young peo-
pie done as much for the advancement
of the kingdom of God as they do today.
Wherever the English language is
spoken young Christian workers have
banded themselves together for sys-
tematic and intelligent work.
Probably the latest organization Of
this nature is the Luther league, and
in phenomenal success it resembles it's
predecessors. One of its most earnest
workers Is Rev. L. l.. Miller, of our
city, and the Evangelical Lutheran
churches are keeping him on the wing
to lecture on the movement and attend
conventions. AT present there are thir-
teen centers in Pennsylvania, around
which cluster the local leagues. Last
year, at the annual state convention,
the executive committee decided to
issue a call To the leagues of the several
states 10 meet at Harrisburg on Nov.
- and organize Il national league.
Rev. +. l.. Miller is president of the
committee, and will leave next Wednes-
day for the state capitol to aid in eff
fecting national organization. This
week the reverend gentleman has ad-
dressed large audiences in Brooklyn,
New York and Philadelphia.
