Social Service Commission.

For some time those who are more
than passingly interested in the prob
lens that confront our nation at the
present time have realized that the ma
ton is confronted with crisis. Social
conditions have become more and more
acute and it is becoming increasingly
necessary that those who aim at the
highest type of citizenship make a
study of the times. In view of this fact
the National Federation of Churches
has established Social Service Com
mission. This Commission has form
ulated a series of studies of some of
these questions to be used by adult
classes and societies. Already 500 class.

the Vienna courts. The Princess Zita is the 12th of the 20 children of the late Duke Robert of Bourbon Parma, IS of whom are said to be imbecile.
 It seems that the unhappy Bourbon Parmas have united in the present gen. eration all the notorious mental defects of the ancient Hapsburg and Bourbon families, from whom they are descended through centuries of inter-marriage. Ac- cording to all the teachings of medlcai science the union of two persons closely related for many generations, and having in their immediate and remote ancestry many cases of insanity, is very likely to spring. fs
 The fact that of nine princes of the house of Parma only one holds military commission, and of the il princesses nov one has been honored by the customary decorations by their royal relatives, shows the deplorable condition into which the family has sunk in the estimation of the other royal families. But these poor princes and princesses have helped them selves to titles. Duke Henry has assumed the dignity of Grand Prince of Storxs,' and his eldest sister; Prince Louise, calis herself Empress Theodora."

This Is the Madison that is the seat of Drew seminary, a Methodist institution. but the new school has no connection with it or with any other school. Its course, be- ginning this autumn, are for men in the ministry who desire to brush up after some years of preaching, for men of un- usual ability who are driven by that abil- ity into overwork, for ministers which the prospectus describes as going to seed" and for men who are graduates both

presiding bishop aud who called the spe- cial meeting, answers the critics to say that all that is contemplated is the crea- ton of a new missionary district within the state of South Dakota, consisting of counties wherein dwell few save Indian people, and leaving the remainder of the state to be another district, wherein are few save whites. Bishops will be chosen for two districts, if two are ere ated, and that for the Indian district will be an Indian, the first American Indian to attain the rank of bishop.
 It seems to be settled that mission ary district of Panama will be created at this special meeting, and that it will take in several Central American states, and perhaps some part of the United States of Colombia. Into these states Americans are going in large numbers. In some of them Englishmen have lived for years, and the Bishop of London has provided chaplains for religious work among them. Now the English are going and Americans are coming. Hence the transfer of territory and of missions and the election of an American to be bishop in charge.

A National Memorial

Baptists of the county are asked to give S50.0GO to erect a National Memorial Baptist church at Plymouth, Mass. The proposed structure is to be of stone. 70 have colonial columns in front, con- yentional dome and rooms suitable for social work in a small city. From the sale of the old Baptist church of Ply mouth $22 000 has been realized, but 1t is intended to keep this amount for an en- downment fund if possible.
 The Baptist church of Plymouth, now gone, was historic in many ways. The Massachusetts Baptist Missionary socie- ty was organized there and from it have come not a few men who, in past years and now, were and are leaders in Amer- fcan Baptist interests. The plan for a national structure, exerting an influence as wide as the country because of the great number Of visitors to Plymouth. is indorsed by leading men of the denomina- tion. The old church and it's grounds were taken by the United States govern nent which is to erect thereon a post office.
 Hardly less than Congregationalists do Baptists look back to Plymouth and the landing there in 1920. and hence the new church, if made memorial. will contain the names of Pastor Robinson, Elder Brewster. Roger Williams. and others who helped to make New England Chris tian history. and perchance those of Adoniram Judson and others who helped to make Baptist missionary history. The project has, it is announced, received al- read a considerable financial endorse ment.

ROYAL bETHR0THAL IS BEING OPPOSED Both Archduke and PrOs- pective Bride Have h.
 sanity in Families

Vienna, September 3o.-(Special.) )--There is a strong though quiet opposition to the announced betrothal of Archduke Charles Francis Joseph and Princess Zita of Parma and it is possible the marriage will never take place.
 The fact that as things now stand the arcnduke is in reality an heir presumpsive to the throne and that unless Archduke Francis FerdinAnd, when he becomes Elm peror. is willing and able to lift the tar which will prevent his children from as cending the throne. the children of Charles Francis Joseph will be in line of success sion is the ground for the opposition.
 Both the young archduke and his 3ros- pective bride come from families strongly tainted with insanity.

Now York, September 30.-(Speeial.).- The Rev. pr. Robert s.

 The American divine will undertake 10 interview the C7ar of all the Russias' and will present him, when he does so, petition from the Baptists of Amerlca and the world, asking for larger religious liberty for Baptists in Russia. The pc tition will also ask for like larger liberty for all faiths. not Baptist merely.
