Although the University Park Temple
Church is not yet three years old, the con-
gregation it is stated, feel the need of a

garten, a kitchen garden, cooking and a
girls club, with instruction in domestic
science boys club. junior boys club a

U. Union, senior and Junior Young Peo-
sacred music society. The church has
grown in less than three years from a men,
bership of 90 to about 150 In speaking of
their work one of the leaders of the temple
said: Some fear that Institutional lines of
Christian endeavor will materialiZe rather
than spirtualze the church. We have not
found it so. The secular side of our work
has well proven to be the bait that has
crowded our little chapel. The fundamen-
tai thought of all our endeavor has been
soul saving and character building. Every
thing done is with this distinctly in mind

ed in the twentieth century education fund,

nous vote to the effect that we heartily

Preparations have been completed for
holding the twenty ninth annual convention
of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America in Chicago, beginning August 9.
1t is expected that this convention will
prove to be one Of the largest and most in
teresting assemblages of the devotees of
total abstinence ever held in the United
States. The union now numbers about So,
600 members. 1t is understood that good
sized delegation from this city will attend
the convention.
Arrangements have been made for re-
moving the novitiate of the Society of
Jesus at Frederick, Md, to a site on the
Hudson river not far from Poughkeepsie.
n Y. The Frederick institution is one of
the most interesting landmarks of the
order in the United States, and there are
many regrets felt in this archdiocese that
it is to be taken away. Two reasons have
been given for the removal. One IS that
the buildings now used are too small for
the Increasing number of novices, and
buildings are necessary. In view of
this fact, the fathers of the society decided
that more central location for the no.
Vitiate would be more suitable, and rs the
province under the society includes the
Atlantic coast states from Massachusetts,
to Virginia, a site along the Hudson would
meet all these requirements. Accordingly,
as a Star reporter was told, the society
purchased, about two months ago. two
hundred acres of land overlooking the
Hudson about three miles from Pough-
keepsie, and work on the new novitiate
will be started in the near future. A fine,
large building, with frontage of $50 feet,
with wing at either end, will be erected.
At the novitiate at Frederick there are now,
it Is stated about twenty priests, eighty
scholastics and novices and twenty-five
brothers. When the new novitiate is com
pleted the society will then have house
of classical studies connected with the
noVitiate.
The old novitiate and ST. Johns Church,
which is a part of the former, at treder-
lex, have a most interesting history. 1t
was at this place that the earliest Catholic
missionary efforts in western MARYLAND
were made Rev. Father John Williams,
an English Jesuit, went there as early as
1859, and organized St. Johns Church.
In ST. Johns Church many famous men
have worshped, and the remains of the late
Chief Justice Roger Is. ldNey lie III tnc
cemetery attached to the novitiate
The twenty-seventh annual camp meeting
of the Southern Methodist churches of
Washington and vicinity will begin next
week at Dorseys Nd The services will
be in charge of Presiding Elders John A.
Anderson, | W. Canter and j. H. Boyd.
Bishop A. w. Wilson will also attend and
assist in the exercises.
Since last year number of improvements
have been made on the camp ground. The
most important of these was the erection
of a fence inclosing the grounds. This was
DONE it was stated, by an officer of the
camp meeting association for the purpose
of charging admission, which has been
deemed necessary. 1t Is thought. he said,
that by this agency sufficient money will
be raised to defray that part of the current
expenses which the finances realized from
the tent holders will not meet. Heretofore
the Sunday collections have been depended
upon as means subsidiary to the rents paid
by those who occupied tents to pay all ex-
penses, but since these collections have
been so poor in recent years, so many hun
dreds of people visiting the grove and en-
joying the services and the many other at
tractive features of the place and paying
nothing to the maintenance thereof, it was
thought eXpedient to have fence erected
and charge entrance fees The prices of
