DIR. LAZY on AMERICA.
Says 1t Is Losing Puritan Sunday
Faster than England.

The Rev. Thomas Law, secretary of the Free
Church Council Of England and Wales, recently
spent three weeks in the United States. visiting
Chicago and several OF the important cities of the
East. He has just written his impression OF tie
life OF the churches in America. Mr. Law expresses
himself as delighted with most of what he saw OF
American religious life, but does not hesitate to
criticise several American practices.
Especially does he find fault with the fact. as he
alleges, that the people Of the churches do not
make their influence strongly felt. He says
the country will never be saved if the church peo-
pie content themselves with making prayers ana
let the devil make the laws, and he recommends
a return to the methods OF the Puritan fathers
who not only knew how to pray. but knew how to
take their places IN the affairs of the nation.
Mr.. Law does not like the American Sunday
England. he says, is fast losing the odtime sun
day but America, he thinks, is losing 1t faster He
SAYS he has spent Sundays in most of the cities
day bad in Chicago.
Many American churches, he thinks spend too
much money themselves, especially on their
church buildings. He saw churches he says which
must have cost 100000 to build. while he believes
the expenditure Of only about half that amount on
q church building is justifable. and thinks Ameri-
cans should content themselves with more modest
buildings and spend the rest of their available
money on home and foreign missions and charities
The federation of the religious bodies Of America
is the most hopeful sign of American church life
according to Mr.. Law. He considers the churches
here much more ready for federative movements
than those OF England. and suggests that all the
federation. From comment of several religious
leaders OF this country on this part of Mrs Law s
remarks. X would seem that they think he does
not realize that very close federation of all Prot
estants has already been arranged for.
The itinerary Of the English secretary ar
ranged IN this country by the executive committee
OF the National Federation of Churches. which has
IN charge the arrangements for the first meeting
Of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ
in America, 10 be held IN December of next year
and it is said TO be unfortunate that MI Law did
not take in the significance OF this federation.

WORK OF BAPTIST EVANGELISTS.
Committee Unable to Find a Successor to
Professor Woelfkin.

The Baptist evangelistic committee announces its
purpOse 70 continue Its work the coming year along
the lines that have been followed in the
twelve months just ended except that effort IS TO
be made 10 find a general evangelist 10 succeed
the Rev. DR.. Cornelius Woefkin who resigned the
position last fall 10 become professor Of homletics
IN Rochester Theological Seminary
II has been impossible, the committee reports TO
find suitable 10 take up the work laid down
by DR.. Woefkin. and in consequence the evangel-
Istic work OF the Baptist body has been directed
along state rather than general lines. In the last
year evaugelss have been commissioned for service
IN New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont.
Michigan, Minnesota. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska. Utah. Wyoming. Washington. Oregon
and Arizona.
The work done by these men has materially
helped the local churches in many centres, because
II has been largely denomnational, planned for the
help Of the individual church rather than the
churches % whole community.
Plans % the Baptist committee for the coming
year, besides the appointment of a general evan
gelst include the extension OF the special work in
me states and the appointment Of men who shall
be free take up work wherever they may be
needed by the churches. The Baptist committee
spends between $1,000 and $4,000 annually its
work. and Il is reported that the results in added
members to Baptist churches are entirely salts

Manhattan Beach She old and gray haired
and her gentle manner and evident refinement
seemed hardly consistent with her reputation as
the Cuban Joan of Arc. Patrick Sarsted Gilmore
who in those days conducted the 22d Regiment
Band at Manhattan Beach, often publicly honored
the woman patriot. Whenever Sonora Cluesada was

has become the Cuban national hymn, and also
La PaIcma,' which is native in every Spanish
speaking countr~,
The amphitheatre was always decorated with the
flags of all nations. Gilmore being an lrishman
with sympathy for liberty loving people, would
show Sehora Quesada a further mark of respect
by having the Spanish flag which she so hated
lowered whenever she attended a concert

But. speaking of Alaska, it is a fact
curious nough that Santa Claus in
real life is seen there at Christmastide
as nowhere else in the world, with
his reindeer. The superintendent OF
the reindeer stations. established by
the government for the benefit of the
natives, harness the tamest of their
animals. and, hitching them to a sleigh
filled with bags containing provisions,
tobacco, and other desirable things,
drive through the Eskimo villages and
leave at each humble hut one of the
sacks, as a eminder that the Christ
Child, about whom these poor people
have learned from the missionaries, is
born.
Whatever the pessimists may say,
this is an age of kindly feeling. Never
before in history have people been so
keenly interested in each others well

adays. Whence it comes about that in
this broad and hospitabIe lane there
Is no person so humble or so poor
that he may not have a part in the
enjoyment of Christmas. 1t is the
season at which kindliness seems to
pervade all the world-as if dear old
Santa Claus himself touched the

his magic wand. Everywhere his
gifts are showered, and nc corner Of
creation is so remote or so lonely as
not to be visited by the spirit of the
