 A big missionary service for all the
 Sunday schools of the Episcopal church
 in New Haven will be held tomorrow
 afternoon at o'clock in Trinity church on the green. Rev. Dr. H. l.. Duhring,
 of Philadelphia, will make the address. The object of the service is to arouse
 greater interest in the cause of missions and especially in the Lenten missionary offering of the Sunday schools. Last Lent the Sunday schools of the Episco-
 pal church throughout the country raised $104,000 for missions, and it is
 hoped that they may do even better this year, as the needs are greater every year.
 A similar service was held last Feb ruary in Trinity church, at which over a thousand children were present, Dr. Duhring spoke at that time and there was a general desire to hear him again this year. One who knows Dr. Duhring and his work writes:
 ''The visit of Rev. Herman l.. Duhr- ing, D. D., to New Haven next Sunday should mark an epoch in the mission ary enthusiasm of the city. While, technically speaking, Dr. Duhring is not in charge of any parish at all, he is, in point of fact, responsible for what is probably the largest parish in the land, for he is the head of the City mis- sion of the Episcopal church in Phila- delphia. His care it is to see that the churches poor of that great city are provided for in their sickness and des- titution, and to give them such spirit ual ministrations as the circumstances admit of. For this purpose the City mission, under his direction, conducts several girls diet kitchens in various parts of the city, each with it's ma tron, who is also visitor. There are two homes for consumptives and sever- dl OllleI llSlllullullS IOi lLc tdl ' bl lllC sick and convalescent which look to him for oversight. And last, but not least he is responsible for the conduct of religious services in a large number of the prisons and hospitals of the city. Such a varied work requires a large force of clerical and lay workers. But it also requires man of large ability, I broad sympathy and strong personality I at it's head: and while Dr. Duhring has | all three, it is his personality which | most impresses one. He has power to | make you see things his way; to inter est you in what he is interested in; to | send you away cheered and heartened | for the battle of life, not because he | has made you believe it is any easier than it is, but because he has made you believe in your own power to overcome | if you are true to yourself and to God Dr. Duhring comes to New Haven to | speak of the claims of the missionary | work of the church, especially upon the young. He comes an representing the Sunday School Auxiliary of the Episco- pal church, in the interest of which he has made and still involves many long journeys in addition to the large work of which we have already spoken. Wherever he goes the children remem- per- because they know good man when they see him; and the men and f women who have hearts open to the of reality remember, too. Surely it is of deep significance that ,ne who so strongly feels the claims If the work at home, and who gives his fife to meeting those claims, should be he one to arouse enthusiasm for the work in the remote parts of our land md beyond the seas.
