White Slaves and the Churches.

The present agitation of the white
slave traffic also helps to create the
psychological moment These victims
are mostly from the alien population;
many. II not most of them, have been
led astray for lack of true friends. The
revelations in Congress and In the press
have shown the need of preventive edu-
cational work by the churches
Still another contributing cause to this
movement is the present socializing trend
in religions. From every side come clam
orous calls to the churches to arouse
themselves in behalf of the people OPP
pressed by malign and untow yard social
prise develops. as is expected. it will
set the young people OF the church to
forming educational classes and holding
meetings among the nearest community
Of immigrants.
This will give the Christian Endeavof
Societies Epworth Leagues and other
young peoples religious organiza tons
an opportunity to do the kind of prac-
tical neighbory work which they have
lacked The Endeavorers have a Pa
triots League which may take these
pledges.

This religious body was organized about
the middle OF the seventeenth century. as
the result of the ministry and organic
ing ability of George Fox OF England.
who began his ministry about 1912
Within a dozen years from that time
the Society of Friends had become an
important part OF the non-conformist
movement in England.
From the start there was considerable
diversity Of opinion in the society touch
ing doctrinal theology. and that diversity
still persists. As a matter of fact, il is
pointed out. Fox and the Friends made
but two distinct contributions to either
Christian doctrine or church polity. The
doctrine may be pressed into the single
proposition of the light Within or the
measure of the spirit of God resident in
all men. BY that light all doctrine was
to be weighed and all conduct deter
mined
AS to manner of worship and service
Of ministry the society has a distinct
theory and practice. It has no profess
sional ministry. In worship it has no
prearranged program. The ministry and
worship make up the central part of the
society's church polity. Whatever speak

Mikado Honors Unitarian


REV. Clay MacCauley Of the Unitarian
Association Of Toxic has been decorated
with the fourth-class Order of the Rising
Sun. This imperial honor was bestowed
upon Mr.. MacCauley in recognition of his
disinterested services in the interest OF
Japan in more than one way as an edu
Gator and as a writer about Japan, etc.
during the last twenty years. Mr.. Mac
Cauley once returned to the United States
in $780, and during the recent regrettable
war. being in his own country. he not
only exerted his best efforts in repre-
senting Japans cause before the Ameri-

nese in America and acted as the best
friend of this country. Mr.. MacCauley

None But Americans on Guard. -

The pledge which these new volunteers
are to sign is simple in itself. 1t consists
of single sentence: cit Is my desire and
purpose to volunteer as worker among
the foreign-speaking people in my own
town OF city or in such other field as may
open itself to me-" On the reverse side
of the card are these four specifications:
Il. What kind Of social. educational or
religious work do you prefer to do? ?.
What language or languages DO you
speak? ). For how long period of time
can you volunteer (weeks or months)?
4. How much time chow many hours per
day or days per weekly can you give to
this specific work?'
The patriotic aspect of the movement is
stressed because the immigration ques-
ton has come to be the supreme Ameri-
can issue. The problem of complete
hmalgamation depends almost wholly upon
the educational and religious forces OF
America. Only as they adopt adequate
measures to cope with their gigantic task
can 1t be accomplished. It has been found
by the religious bodies, Protestant and
Catholic, which have experimental in
this field that native leadership is essen
tial. Put none but Americans on guard"
might be the watchword. Several denom-
nations. including the Catholic. have
tried to import preachers and priests and
colporteurs and other religious workers.
1t has been found that these men lack
familiarity with American institutions
and ideals: they do not Americantze their
compatriots. The latter fail to give them
the following and allegiance which they
accord to an American.

Johns, was a brief call to repentance.
based on the nearness of the kingdom Of
heaven. With this call, as with A
trumpet, John had stirred Judea. and for
time it had seemed that the kingdom
Of heaven was to begin in Jerusalem.
But 1t was not SO to be. Here in Caper-
naum, amid the rush and confusion of
traffic, this kingdom was to have its be-
ginning. Notice it's first steps. Every

To What Were the Disciples CalledH

Jesus said. Il will make you fishers sf
men. How the natural typifies the
spiritual. These men, by long toll ana
study. through WEAKNESS and peril. had
mastered the trade of the fisherman.
They had learned the haunts and habits
Of the finny tribes of the sea, and they
knew the best methods of capturing
them. Henceforth. men were to be the
object of their search. Fishers OF men.
How expressive, how Illuminating the
phrase. Men are to be sought, they are
to be studied: we are to adapt our meth
DDS to their moods, their prejudices. their
preferences. We are TO be discouraged
by no failures, nor may we be intimidat-
ed by any WEAKNESS or peril. Our bust
ness Is to catch men. Through the cen
turtles this has been the purpose Of the
church; the apostles. martyrs, confessors,
pastors, teachers, parents, friends, all
who have themselves been caught must
make Ii their business to bring others TO

ment was made that this
gospel omits the first year of that minis
try. The reason. as then given. is that it
was not until after He began to preach
in Galilee that Matthew became His dis
ciple. and that Matthew relates only the
things which he knew to be true.
The picture is q sad one. Returning
from the Mount Of Temptation in the
power Of the spirit. He began In Jeru-
salem. But He was not such Messiah
as the Jews expected. His miracles OF
healing startled, but did not convince
Them They demanded by what authority
doest Thou these things? He had dared
to assert His authority in the temple. As
its Lord He had driven forth its traf-
fickers; He had overturned the table of
its money changers and decorators, and
they would have mono OF Him. BY this
we do not mean that the Judean ministry
was fruitIess. That would have been i'm
possible. And yet ii is true that the OPP
position upon the part Of the rulers was
so great that 1t was thought better to
begin His ministry in distant Galilee. The
Imprisonment of John, too. intensified the
opposition to Christ. The necessity for
an immediate change was imperative.
But whittier should He go? Nazareth,

sought His life. There, on the northern

naum. This. next to Jerusalem. was. per-
haps, the most important city of Pales-
tine 1t had large manufacturing inter-
ests and In its population was large
sprinkling of Gentiles.
Matthew tells us that this change Of
residence upon the part of Christ was the
fulfiIlment of the prophecy in Isaiah. %:
The land Of Zebulon and the land OF
Nephtan, by the way Of the sea, beyond
Jordan, Galilee Of the Gentiles: and the
people which sat in darkness saw great
