PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE IS
TOO BUSY TO SEE MANY VISITORS

In the course of the morning he dictates
in five or more different languages. Car
dinal Merry conducts his visitor to the
remoteSt corner of the room. and there
conversation takes place in an undertone,
as is traditional at the Vatican. The
greetings and partings have quaint old
world character. The bow before shaking
hands on meeting. and after shaking
hands on parting, belongs to another age,
and stands cut in strong contrast to the
unmannerly hustle of the twentieth GEN.
fury.
Merry del Val is the youngest cardinal.
and. in the Italian sense, is new man.
He was singled out by the pope for his
general ability and extensive knowledge
of men and things, and neither he nor the
pope has yet neutrality-suspicious. they
never will-the Pagan spirit of Rome.
They are both in dead earnest. The pope
is puritan" in spirit gentle but dog
ged, loving ease but doing his duty with
determination. For his young cardinal he
has the deepest affection, because Merry
del Val is not unlike himself in his de-
cson Of character. No opportunity is
neglected of representing the cardinal sec
rotary of state in the cause of the trou-
bles in France. and the latest Is that he
is on the eve of making himself the
mayor of the palace" and carrying on
the government of the church to serve
his own ends. All this is said to be con-
cocted to estrange his holiness from his
friend and adviser. Cardinal Merry is
esteemed by everybody who is not en-
vious of him. it is declared. not only for
his brillan. qualities, but for his sincere
desire to eradicate Paganism from the
Vatican. His mother being an English
woman English is his mother tongue, but
his French. Spanish and Italian are
equally fluent. He is a slightly built man,
with grace in every feature of his deli
cate Spanish head and in his finely shaped
hands.

Several pastors and laymen OF WASH
ington Lutheran churches took an active
part in the sessions Of the eastern con-
ference of the Maryland Synod OF the
Lutheran Church. held in Baltimore last
Monday Rev. C. p. Wiles. pastor Of the
Keller Memorial Church, on Maryland
avenue northeast, attracted attention BY
a paper he read on THE Scarcity OF Min
isters-Cause and Remedy" Rev. j. T.
Huddle, pastor of st. Paurs English
Lutheran Church. discussed Church
Forms in Private and Mr.. Harry T..
Domer of this city led a discussion OF
laymen's work.
In discussing the scarcity of ministers.
Rev. Mr.. Wiies gave as the reasons the
following:
The reign of materialism because or
the activity among the laymen candidates
for the ministry are asking In good faith
If they cannot do just as much good in q
secular calling as In one purely religious:
because of uncertainty regarding matters
of revelation and doctrine; preachers have
injured their own cause by magnifying
in print the inconvenience and sacrihces
of the ministry. rather than the joys ana
glories.
AS another reason Rev. Mr.. Wiles said:
perhaps at the door Of the clergy
rests much Of the responsibility Tor the
alarming condition that confronts us, Tor
who will not dedicate his own will have
but little interest and less success in per-
suading others TO dedicate their sons to
the ministry.
For the remedy Rev. Mr.. Wiles said
that there must be enthusiasm In the
pulpit and that the ministers, in their
prayers. their sermons and In the pas
toral work must make people believe thai
the question of ministerial supply Is on
their hearts and the people will nod
lightly cast it aside. In the preachers
hearts must be implanted the belief In the
dignity and value of their own calling.
Then Rev. Mr. Wiles concluded.
when we have such a conviction and
announce it, the crisis will be met and
our reproach taken from U.S."
