Gothic and English Gothic.

The Continent for to-day has this
paragraph touching the architecture OF
the Cathedral of st. John the Divine:
The. contention over what architect
shall finish the remaining two-thirds OF
the vast Cathedral of st. John the Divine
in New York. turns on the rather subtle
question OF what the architecture Of q
church ought to express. The substitu-
tion OF Mr.. Cram TO direct the construc-
tion in place of Mr.. La Fargo who drew
the original plan, signifies confessedTy
that the building committee has come TO
desire pure Gothic edifice, for Mr.. Cram
is a passionate advocate OF the idea that
Gothic is the only architectural style
which really summons men to worship.
Mr. La Fargo. on the other hand, de-
clares that Gothic speaks simply the
spirit of the medieval age IN which II
originated and that English Gothic is
significant only for England. II the Prot.
estant Episcopal Church wishes to repre-
sent in It's American cathedral merely
its descent from the Church OF England.
then well and good, Mr. Cram and HIS
Gothic cbsession are all right. But IL the
purpose Is to erect in New York a build

made In the task of co-ordinating paro-

Great Growth of Salvation Army
Work.

Great Growth of Salvation Army
Work.
In an old building in Philadelphia,
where previously chairs had been mend
ed, the Salvation Army had its beginning
in the United States in March. 1850. Its
report for the last year, Just issued,
shows the tremendous growth which It
has attained in the thirty years. Out
doors last year It is stated that 17Sooo
meetings were held. attended by 1900, 900
persons. In halls the meetings numbered
A5,OOO, and 100000 adults and 100000
children came to them. The number OF
converts claimed to have been made by
the army last year was 1854. A few
years ago army hotels were started to
take the place Of the mean and poor ones
often maintained for private profit. Last
year no fewer than 1,S61,6U lodgings were
provided. The poverty problem was en-
tered upon by the army, not with investi-
cations as to worthiness, but with work
to do for which wages are paid. Last
year the army gave 2156,155 meals to poor
men In return for work, and gave them
in wages $325, 900. Employment was found
for more than 10000 persons. Of whom
more than $1,000 were men. In the train.
ing college, of which there are four,
200 to 300 young men and women are
graduated each year, all of whom engage
In army work In the large cities. During
the last five years property held by the
army is claimed to have increased in
amount by S2,5O0,OOOO.

Churches Pushing Social Service.

OnuEChc8 6CENlCCs
The social service commission Of the
Federal Council has set on foot a plan
for a social service convention, TO be held
early in the autumn, the purpose Of
which is to secure the Inauguration of
social service work in all religious bodies
represented in the council. 1t is stated
that of these bodies, some thirty in num-
Der and representing 100000 to 100000
members, only two bodies, the Presby-
terian and Congregational, have now
commissions with organized work and
salaried secretaries to push it. A third,
the Episcopal, has taken steps to start
such. At least a dozen more commits
sions will be urged by the new secretary
of the council, the Rev. DR.. Charles T.
Mcfarland. The theory of the council is
that social service can only be adequate
ly rendered by the churches through fed
GRAFTON, and that su service ought to
be placed upon the same level Of eff
cheney and financial support as are Chris
tian missions and education. The new
secretary, the Rev. DR.. Macfarland, is
chairman of arrangements for the hold
ing Of the social conference next fail.

Quaker Colleges Financially Helped.

Quaker Colleges Financially Helped.
Within the last few months Orthodox
Quakers have put two of their educa-
tional institutions on an improved fnan-
cial basis. Penn College, Iowa, estab-
lished about forty years ago, and repre-
senting the new type OF progressive
Friends Of the West, has raised S122ooO
for endowment The home county, Me-
haska. contributed $4,000 OF the amount.
Earlham College, at Richmond, Ind, dat
ing back some sixty years. has wiped out
debt Of $4,000 and raised $500 besides.
Penn College has now endowment funds
OF 500, 900, and Earlham considerably
more than that, with conditions free for
entering upon plans for an even larger
sum. Pacific and Nebraska Central COL
leges, both Quaker institutions and re-
Gently established, are seeking endow-
ments. Friends are saying that these
advances at Penn and Earlham mean
much to the development of the Society
of Friends, especially in the Middle West.
Sunday Schools Forging Ahead.
The Sunday school convention held IN
San Francisco proved successful beyond
expectations. There were no epoch-mak-
ing speeches, but there was much Of tire
institute and conference, with freedom
from differences and practically every
religious and educational interest in
America represented. At all OF the. prin-
cipal meetings audiences averaged 5000,
and the conferences crowded the largest
churches. The adult Bible class process
sion through the streets was 10000 men
strong, each man carrying a Bible. Ban
ners were in the procession representing
Canada, Mexico, and South America, and
the whole affair amounted to a big re-
ligious reception in the streets, men sing
ing, shouting, and giving San Francisco
such an exhibition Of religious enthusi-
asm by men as It never saw before. The
differences over the Introduction OF ex-
planatory matter into the advanced les
sons other. than passages from the Bible
were adjusted to suit the progressives, a
wide latitude being allowed. The secre-
tary's report showed that in the terri
tory OF the International committee for
three years past $3.50 conventions were
held, or forty-eight per day. Adult Bible
classes enrolled with the general Office
have a total membership Of loo, 900.
Prominence was given at the convention
to the subject Of teacher training. In
1902 there were enrolled in classes for
such training one in III Of all officers and
teachers in schools Of North America |
To-day one in twelve is so enrolled The
actual achievement Of Sunday schools in
getting persons into church membership |
was put at 1,1ss, 4s2 for the three years
since 1896, or a gain Of 10000 over the !
preceding three years.
