Members Of the congregation Of Plymouth
Congregational Church state that the social

most successful event OF its kind in the his

letters. The other element fears the effect
of abolishing them. Both admit that the
situation is grave; more so, indeed. than
as if such rules had ever been in the
discipline. The discussion is not quite new,
but it has some new forms this year, and
is agitating Methodist rank and file rather
more than it has formerly done.
xxx
Evangelistic campaigns of the year have
not prospered to the extent their projectors
hoped they might. Much has been heard
of the Presbyterian campaign, which is
costing. it is said. $4,000 year. but 1t was
found needful to modify the plans some
what last summer. and to accord to the
leader, the Rev. DR.. ]. Wilbur
Chapman aI'n. ~ .0 little less .,s authority;
got p'I no Partners naa than e pans leaving ing
the next step to the new year Disciples Of
Christ have been agitating larger evangelism
and Congregationalists have sought to in
augurate a forward movement. The year
has not been prolific of success In this line,
but the movements have not been aban-
doned.
The two Jewish theological seminaries in
America entered upon new eras. That at
Cincinnati inaugurated a new president, in
succession to the late DR.. Wise, and the one
in New York opened new building. Both
stand for the new Judaism, although this
assertion does not imply that either is un-
orthodox. The most advanced is that at
Cincinnati. and the one most scholarly is
the one in New York The Zionist move
ment, although not exactly germane to this
seminary topic, held its own during the
year, in spite of its many enemies.
XXX
Near the end of the year also the de-
velopments on the Isthmus of Panama led
to new religious movements southwark.
Protestant bodies in the United States are
preparing to go to South America and in
augurate work. Some are already there;
new ones are going. They claim that South
America is a neglected continent. Books Of
common prayer In Portuguese and in Span
ish are now being printed, and the Bible
societies are busy making Spanish New
Testaments. Central America is also to be
invaded, 1t being stated that high public
officials in these small republics are reach
| ing out after Protestant education, arguing
that such education means more progress.
The meeting for the first time of all Pro-
testant Episcopal bishops on this continent
signalized the autumn of the year. Almost
| all attended. and the sentiment developed
was emphatically toward greater cordiality
| toward Protestant bodies.
