Test of Church Cordially.

Test of Church Cordially.
Miss Laura A. Smith tells in the La
dies Home Journal of her experiences
in making a series of visits to different
churches in the larger cities with the
object Of testing ''the welcome given
q stranger in the average church to see
what was meant by the invitation
Strangers cordially welcome" Miss
Smith says that she dressed in very
plain clothes and by both dress and
manner tried to typify the average
young woman who, Il stranger in the
city, seeks a church utilization. In
only two churches of New York and
brooklyn did the pastors voluntarily
seek her out and speak to her. In one
other the pastor was brought to her,
while in five churches thirteen mem
bers had spoken to her, and in thirty
two she had been ignored absolutely,
In all thirty-seven churches having
been visited. In Boston she attended
twenty-four churches, and of these
one pastor spoke to her, while in four
four members, two being ushers, pass
ed a friendly word, while in the other
nineteen mot a word from any one"
From the inhospitable east she turned
her steps westward, where the results
of her %visitations remain to be record
ed.
Several New York and Boston minis
tiers interviewed upon the question
raised by Miss Smiths test hold that
it is now generally regarded as beyond
the true courtesy of the church to force
attentions upon visitors, such as hand
shaking and questioning. One says
that because personal inquiries are moi
made or attentions paid is in no sense
a contradiction of the invitation to
strangers. Another says that normal
persons go to church not for sociabili-
ty, but for spiritual edification, col
munion and exaltation; hence they ap-
preciate the gentle courtesy of being
let alone in their quest.

ROOSEVELT FIRST AND LAST
Governor Curry, Recently Appointed
Governor of New Mexico,
Makes a Spiel.

Albuquerque. n. NJ, Oct. lin re-
Spouse 10 an inquiry from a New York
newspaper asking for a statement as
to an interview, following his meeting
with President Roosevelt at Memphis,
in which Governor George Currie of
New Mexico was quoted as saying that
the president might be a candidate
for reelection, Governor Currie today
sent the following message:
Dispatches referred TO do not quote
me exactly correct. My mission to the
president was in regard to statehood
for New Mexico and other matters of
interest to this territory. l took occa-
sion to tell the president that the peO-
pie of New Mexico feel very kindly
toward him. and appreciate what he is
doing for the west. The president did
not discuss his candidacy or anything
relating TO the presidential election
with me. In my opinion the delegation
TO the Republican national convention
from New Mexico will be instructed
for the denomination of President
Roosevelt. His own friends here could
not prevent il if they tried, as the feel
ing is strong here that he should sue
coed himself in order that he may car
ry TO a successful conclusion the poll
cies he has inaugurated. Should Pres
ident Roosevelt refuse to accept a NOM
ination, the people of New Mexico will
support whoever they believe will come
nearest to carrying out the policies of
President Roosevelt"

The Hague, Oct. 1.-THE following
declaration drafted by Count Ternielli
Qtaly) was adopted by the arbitration
committee this evening, after a long
debate, the United States, Japan, Hay
ii and Turkey abstaining from voting.
The conference unanimously favors:
Ffrst-The principle of obligatory ar
bitration.
Second-That certain differences, es-
pecially those regarding the interpre-
tation and application of conventional
clauses. are susceptible of being sub
mitted to obligatory arbitration with
out restriction.
The conference unanimously pro-
claims that while a convention on the
subject was not concluded, the differ
ences of opinion had more of a judicial
character. as all the states of the world,
in working together for four months,
not only learned to know each other
better by getting closer together, but
developed during this long collabora-
ton high ideals for the common well
fare.

CAID AAFLOOS JOINS HAFIG
Pretender to the Throne of Morocco
Greatly Strengthened in
the South.

Tangier. Oct: n.-Tidings received here
from southern Morocco are anything but
reassuring for the pacification of this dis
tracted empire. 1t would appear from
credible native sources that the famous
chieftain, Cad Anfloos, the Raisuili of
the south, has occupied Mogador, thrown
the local governor representing Sultan Abb
del AziZ into Jail, and assumed control of
that strategic point. Two French war
ships have been hastily dispatched from
Tangier to control the situation at Mo-
gador, but the best informed residents
here, knowing the character of the caid,
are convinced that he will resist interview
ton and they dread a repetition of Casa
blanca bombardment. Reports regard
ing the submission of fighting tribes have
been received with suspicion. as they
emanate from political and financial
sources. The subserviency of Abdel Aziz
to French control, including his accept
ance of the cross of the Legion of Honor
is increasing Mulai Hafig's power. Caid
Anfloos declared his allegiance to Mulai
Hafig the latter part of August.
