many of the city meetings of the Taymen's
missionary movement and always his ad-
dress deals with Christian union. In the
iaymens movement, the Young Mems
Christian Association, Christion Endeavor
and Sunday school work, these laymen
have been meeting with one another. 1t
was inevitable that they should sometime
Sit down together and talk about actual
unity. That occasion came at Pittsburg.
A Rival for Secret Societies.
At Pittsburg it was decided that the
oneness of the Christian brotherhoods
should be made known to all the world.
So steps were taken looking to the adop-
tion of uniform badge to be worn by all
members. This will probably be the St.
Andrews cross. with a distinctive back
ground for each denomination. The
Episcopalians and Presbyterians already
use 1t. Probably also "St. Andref's
Hymn" beginning.
Jesus calls us DER the tumult
OF our life's wild. restless sea.
will be adopted as the brotherhood hymn.
A common week Of prayer for men, fol-
lowing the last Thursday In November.
was decided upon.
The frequently expressed desire of the
leaders is that the brotherhoods shall
mean to their members in most practical
ways. all that the fraternal lodges and
secret societies mean. Thus the badge
VIII give Inau u cldlIl upon IellOW-men-
bers everywhere. AS It is the aim to en-
roll every adult male member of the
Protestant churches in these brother
hoods, the social and even political power
resident in such a body is tremendous.
Already some local chapters go through
forms Of initiation for new members.
The beneficial aspect of the Organiza-
ton of laymen Is being widely considered.
There already has been formed The
Christian fraternity" with lodges or

in Omaha. Just toswhat extent this idea
which would seriously impair the strength
of existing orders. is to be adopted by the
brotherhood remains to be seen.
Plan Monster National Convention.
OF all the far-reaching actions of the
Pittsburg conference the most striking
and tangible was the decision to hold an
American national congress of laymen in
st. Louis early next year. A committee
Of twenty-seven members was appointed
to take this matter in charge The COM
mfttee comprises nine men each from the
laymens missionary movement, the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
brotherh hoods. 1t Is expected that all of
these mems societies will pool their ma
tional conventions into one. AS each OF
these bodies has had more than a thou
sand delegates at it's individual convention.
the magnitude of the aggregate congress
In st. Louis is apparent.
This congress will be the culmina ton of
series of city campaigns to be con-
Quoted all over the country next year by
the laymen's missionary movement. A
similar series Of meetings has lately been
held in Canada. and it will eliminate in

THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER.

Men Cant Be Kept Apart.
The Radical Type.

Since human society began the radical
has been found within its membership
He has never offered exclusive worship
to the ''God of things as they are,
but his longing and affection have gone
out toward a divinity who is slowly
evolving a better world than this. He has
been hard to live with at times, this radi-
cal of ours, for he has been SO fast after
change and reform that most of us slow
going people have found 1t difficult to keep
him in sight and to adjust our principles
and proceduse to his.
On the other hand. he has not had an
easy time, since usually he has been the
odd or queer member Of the family. the
church. the lodge, the grange or the
business partnership. He has usually
been greatly outnumbered by associates
with conservative instincts, who have
called him long-haired, or, If he be a
woman, short-haired. who have spoken of
him as a visionary and a rainbow chaser.
Now, such man has to be pretty good
Christian to keep his temper under such
provocation. / once lived with a man to
whom the slightest rearrangement of fur
niture in the parlor was a trial. When
it was proposed by the rest of the family
that they should have dinner at night
rather than at noon he went into a tan
trum. He wanted to jog along year in
and year out in the same old ruts. For a
man who has learned with Phillips Brooks
to Live loosely in his surroundings who
thinks tomorrow ought to be better than
today, to he yoked up in the family or
business or civic relationship to ultra con-
servatives is. indeed, cross, and he has

and still not abate one bit Of his loyalty
to progressive ideals.
Radicals Numerous.
But the radical is not SO lonely as he
used to be. l opine that there is more
of him to the square mile than ever be-
fore in the worlds history. The tides of
human thought are all setting In the
direction Of improvement Of social and in
dustrial conditions. 1t Is just splendid.

are all socialists these days." is q remark
frequently heard even in ministerial gath
erings. OF course. that is crude and in
exact way Of stating that religious lead
ers generally are widely impressed with
the inequalities and deprivations evident
as one gains thorough knowledge of his
fellow beings not only in the favored
section of great cities and in comfortable
farmhouses, but as he sees the fostering
sores of the tenement house and the pow
erty of certain rural districts. Failow
soil the radical finds today In which to
plant his seeds of agitation. The world
is bent on going forward. and will not be
forever held back by those whose faces
are toward the past.
Need Of Consideration.
