do not conflict with the underlying prin-
ciple of their organization.
"a central organization has been
formed, and members of this body go OUT
among the other churches to organize
clubs among their membership. In this
manner We will be able to work hand in
hand, and / hope the result will be salts
factory to the men as we'll as to the
church.
1T is a fact that men do not go to
church in as great numbers as do wo-
men, 1t seems TO me that the thoughts
OF men who come in contact with the
hard routine of daily life and business
are by these latter causes led away from
church. l don't mean to say by this that
we have no business men in our churches,
for we have some of the most successful
finaDciers and commercial men in all
churches. but, as a general rule, busi-
ness men are in the minority in their at
tendance at church
BY forming mems clubs in all parts of
the country, and in all churches of the
Protestant denomination. we will en-
deavor to bring the men into the churches
again in greater numbers"

CHURCHES HARD AT WORK
ORGANIZING MEMS CLUBS
Women Now Occupy Sunday School Positions Which
Should Be in Ohhe1 Hands.

Mems clubs are being organized in the
various churches of the Protestant de-
nominations In all parts of the country"
said Mr.. H. B. Moulton, temporary chair
man of the Federation of Mems Clubs in
this city, yesterday, because there is a
deplorabIe dearth of men to fill the va
rious Offices in the different churches,
such as Sunday school teachers, class
leaders, and other positions.
About 70 per cent Of these places are
occupied by women. There seems to be
steady falling off of men in attendance at
church. 1t is our aim TO awaken an inter
est among them in the church and its
work, and We think that by organizing
mems clubs we will be taking step in
the right direction.
There is 10 special inducement for
men to join these clubs, more than the
fact of their purpose. 1t is likely, how
ever, that some of the clubs as an in
ducement may form themselves into liter
airy, musical, or debating societies, or
will have such attractive features that

DR.. HERRlCK'S LECTURE.
Will Describe New Methods in Bird
Study and Photography.

otuuy anu L FnOtUSIdpUy.
The Audubon Society of the District
of Columbia has arranged with DR.. Fran
els II. Herrick, of Adelbert College
Cleveland, Ohio, to deliver an ilustrat ed
lecture on New Methods in Bird Study
and Bird Photography at the Columbian
University. corner of Fifteenth and II
Streets tomorrow evening at o'clock
This lecture which is offered without
charge to the public, is in line with the
educational work of the society. and will
probably attract many whose interest in
bird life has been awakened. 1t will also
prove of value to large number from
a Photographic standpoint, as DR.. Her.
rick will illustrate his talk with more
than a hundred lantern slides, made from
novel photographs of unusual merit.
These show many phases of the nesting
habits. such as he has described in MS
popular work on THE Home Life of Wild
Birds
The photographing of wild birds has
been essayed with varying success by
many amateur photographers. and has
proved difficult as it is fascinating
But, as explained in DIR. Herrick's book,
the difficulties can be greatly lessened,
and the numerous pictures he will throw
on the screen are evidence of the sue
cessful application Of the novel methods
he suggests.

Christ He said in part:
you cannot imagine how this work is
lifting these poor, half-starved people up
out of the mire of paganism, and bring
ing joy into their miserable lives. 1t is
touching to notice the feeling among
these people. They seek to get right
down to the bottom of the Gospel truths

Every night they sing the hymns and re-
peat the stories they have been taught
when these poor people have learned
something that is of benefit to them
they can't keep 1t to themselves. They
tell 1t to their companions and neighbor-
ing tribes And 1t is Just this spirit that
brought Jesus Christ into the world.

INSANE SOLDIERS ESCAPED.
Were Captured by Policeman Outside
Ground of Government Asylum.

Policeman Stewart, of the Anacostia
substation, arrested Michael Casey. thirty
years old, and Frank Newrey, twenty-five
years cid. last night, charged with being
fugitives from the Government asylum for
the insane. While patroiling his beat near
the asylum about 730 o'clock he saw the
two men walking around on the outside of
the grounds and arrested them.
DR.. Richardson, superintendent of the
asylum, was notified of the arrests and
sent TO the substation for them. 1t was
said that they were two soldiers who were
hopeless lunatics, having been sent to the
asylum last year from Manila. They were
allowed to walk around the grounds yes
terday, and evidently wandered out of the
open gate. They were taken back 10 the
asylum last night.

"The poor Indians of Alaska look to
us for help and enlightenment, and it is
our Christian duty to give it TO them,
said Bishop Rowe, OF Alaska, in the
course of his sermon yesterday morning.
at Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church.
Bishop Rowe described the excellent
work that is being done by the mission
aries in the far north. and the fearful
hardships which they are frequently
called upon to endure in the course Of
their duties.
A grand work he said, was being done
among the poor upenlightened tribes OF
Alaska, who are eager for the Gospel,
but who have so few opportunities of
hearing it preached. In the territory
where he was stationed he was only able
to reach some of the most remote tribes
once IN the course OF a whole year Then,
so interested were the Indians, meetings
were often held constantly for I'VE or six
weeks Over and over he would repeat

Labor Union, representing organized labor

dressed to the "homeseekers and working
people of the East and Middle West"
warning them against what is termed
false, misleading, and criminal adver-
tisements of the railroads sent out for the
purpose of inducing Westernward immi-

overcrowded with laboring men, and there
is not desirable tract of land in the
Northwest that can be made productive
without the expenditure of thousands of
dollars upon it.
There are thousands of idle Men in
the mining districts of Montana, Idaho.
and Washington, who are begging fer a
mere chance to make living. There are
many opportunities for men OF capital,
but none for men without means.

no doubt be modified

Bishop Andrews re-
viewed the methods by
which the greatest
Christian work had been
accomplished in the
world, saying:
at has never been by
operation on the masses.
The great results have
been achieved by indi-
vidual conversion. Only
by personal efforts have
lasting results been
achieved. and thus only
were the early Chris
tian churches organized.
This remains true
today if the world is to
be saved. We cannot

is not the churches who will save but the
individual who knows truth and proclaims

How to Gain Future Triumph.
Bishop Andrews asked the question how
future triumphs could be gained, and an
swered it by saying:
1T must be by profounder religious
experience than we have commonly
known. This is the last evening that SER
vices will ever be held in this church
Let the last word be what you and lack.
1t is simple faith in the divine and eter-
nal realities. We lack profound convic-
tion, supreme surrender We should have
the faith Of those who do not see the
face of God and yet do see it, too"
Bishop Andrews concluded his sermon
with a reference to the noble work done
by the church in the past and an appeal
to his hearers to realize the noble work
possible in the future through personal
effort.
The benediction was pronounced by
Bishop Joyce. OF Philadelphia.

History of Foundry Church.
The history Of Foundry Church is an
interesting one. The founder. Henry W.
FoxhaE, was an Englishman who emf
grated TO America in the latter part of
the eighteenth century He was an iron
founder by trade, and established busi-
ness in Georgetown. During the war OF
1872 he manufactured guns for this coun-
try, and it is said that the armament of
Perry's fleet, which won the battle Of
Lake Erie, waited until he could build
and transport the necessary cannon.
In the year 1914, when the British cap
tured the Capital and destroyed the pub
lie buildings, they had planned to raze
Foxhalls foundry A cyclone arose as
they were preparing to march against it
and balked their purpose. The pious
Foxhall, who had in his youth worked
in the foundry used by John Wesley as
a chapel regarded this occurrence as a
speciaI act of Providence. He donated
the land now occupied by the church, and
out of the fuliness of his gratitude erect
ed a building to worship in at his own
expense.
The plain erick building which he erect
ed was used as a church until 1866, when
the structure which now occupies the land
was erected.
Many prominent men, including Presi-
dents Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, and Lin
coin have worshipped in the structure
which will shortly be dismantled to make
way for the stride of business progress.

The Christian church as an organiza-

fideGce that it once did. 1t is not, as in
the Middle Ages. an ark of safety.
TIE teachings of the church are not ac-

demand proofs of the supernatural side OF
Christianity.
But humanity has increased. Men are
really men now. Christianity is no longer
