There Is a general recognition of the
fact that young peoples societies in the
churches have pasesd their high-water
mark. More advanced religious leaders
are beginning to ask what next? Claims
of these society officials are as buoyant as
ever, except in the case of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union and the Brother
hood of st. Andrew. These two recognize
changed conditions; the others make
claims of progress. and give figures OF
growth which apparently substantiate
the same. Almost all organizations are
changing their convention dates from an
nual to biennial, and giving every rea-
son except the true one, which is that
crowds can no longer be commanded ev-
cry year. Young peoples movements in
the churches were waves that swept over
all religious bodies, the Roman Catholic
and Jew included, and like all waves,
they pass by. Nobody. among the leaders
denies that they accomplished great good.
Nobody denies either that some form of
young people activity will continue. The
situation at the moment is that the old
organizations are without exception, wan
ing, some, perhaps, more than others
and leaders in the religious world are
watching out for. something to take their
places, or for a development to- do the
work they set out with so much of -four

The Morning News has received from
Mr.. George c. Thomas, treasurer OF the
Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, U.
S. A. his report to that body of the
work up to April l.
It shows that while there has been an
increase in the receipts for domestic mis-
sions and general missions there has
been such a falling off in contributions
for foreign missions as to leave that
branch of the work $20,447.11 short of the
amount raised the preceding year, and
to leave the total contributions for all
missions $10,556 below that of last year.
The report further shows that to meet
requirements of the missions a sum of
S4l4751.70 must be raised between now and
Sept l, of which amount $4,000 must be
raised through offerings, contributions,
etc.

Current Church News.

A general conference Of Sunday school
experts is soon TO be held in New York.
II is called the International Sunday
schol Lesson Committee. This commit
tee has been receiving criticisms of their
lesson scheme In vast numbers. Scores OF
people have had suggestions to make.
These experts have claimed that they
have been unsuccessful because they
have been compelled to give their crti-
cisms separately. So the international
committee has asked them TO come to-
gether load their biggest gun and fire
of the same. There has just been formed
a Sunday-school Editorial Association,
made up OF editorial writer's of Sunday
school helps. This association, on the day
following It's organization, made two sug-
gestions which the international commit
tee adopted and named subcommittee TO
carry out One was that a beginners
course for one year be provided. and that
a senior Bible study series be mapped out.
Acceptance OF these suggestions by the
committee broke the uniformity OF a
scheme of Sunday-school lesson study
which has been continuous since 1872 and
which 100000 scholars and teachers In
this country alone study weekly.
The Epworth League Convention In

DEATH OF TX. LONG

Died in Philadelphia on Saturday, Nos
vember 9th, 1901, Jacob X. Long, Of
Middletown, Delaware.
This short sentence sums up the results
of four weeks patient suffering of untold
agony and marks the end of busy life.
Mr.. Long had been for nearly forty years
intimately connected with the growth
and business Of Middletown and vicinity.
AS boy he secured his first knowledge
of the live stock trade in this neighbor-
hood. This training was interrupted by
the breaking out of the Civil War and he
was one of the first volunteers, joining
the Sixth Pennsylvania Cavalry and
serving with it throughout the war. He
then came back and has been familiar
figure about our town ever since, and
his friendships and acquaintance we're
numerous throughout the Peninsula. Ne
man ever, questioned the honesty Of
cake" Long, and no one but has q
kindly word in his memory. Many acts
of kindness are credited by the Recording
Angel of which his most intimate friends
have no knowledge. He believed in not
letting his right hand know what bis
left hand was doing in charity. We will
all miss him and mourn him.
Mr.. Long left Middietown on October
9Th, 1901, and was forced to go tosbed on
the 10th and never got up. Five weeks
from the time he left here be was buried.
in Laurel Hill Cemetery. His death re-
suited from blood poisoning caused by q
wound made by a fish hook.
