 Two years ago retreats for laymen were begun in Fordham college, New York city. They were so popular that tenn porary quarters for them were pro vided on an island in Lond Island sound. Now permanent quarters are provided as stated, which quarters are to be en-' lerged as funds permit. The retreats last from Friday to Monday morning, and are conducted on the same lines as re- treats for priests. Only one business day, and that Saturday, is sacrificed, and the plan is to maintain the retreats throug out the year. It is reckoned that every week the entire number of men who can be recommended will be enrolled. Re- treats may be taken by men not Cath ollie, and few Protestants have already made them

LIVE CHURCH NEWS

New York, July 22.-(Special.)-Bishop Thomas B. Nicely of New Orleans, who for years has given study to Methodist church poity, has come to the defense of that polity in reply to attacks now mak- ing by Methodist laymen. Some laymen's associations, in the conferences held last spring. proposed radical changes in MethoGism. These propositions have been sent to other associations, and through out Methodism north this fall it is eX- pected these changes will be heard and recommended. The fall conferences be- gin about August 15, and the laymens associations meet at the same times and places.
 Methodist laymen charge failure to Methodism in certain places, notably in the large cities, owing to defects in pol fly. The propositions put forth contem- plate lsymen sitting as members of the annual conferences as they now do in the quadrennal general conferences; lay men as members of the cabinets of bish- ops which make appointments of minis ters: the districting of bishops, making each supreme in diocese after the Epis- copal Or Catholic plans and the multipli-

A world federation of Catholic so- ceties is proposed. The American fed eration has, through its secretary. made formal suggestion to the West minister Federation Council of Lon don, and that body has acted favor ably Together they have agreed to invite the societies of the continent to Europe, and of Catholic mission fields of the world
 Aims set forth by the American fed eration are an international bond of union, the support of world movement like the truth and defepce societies, and ~the holding, once every five or 10 years, of international Catholic con- gresses for the personal acquaintance of Catholic leaders and the furthering of Catholic church interests. The West minister federation has voted to sub = init the matter to the Archbishop of Westminster for his approval.
 The world federation proposed is be- tween the unofficial organiza tions of Catholic laymen These organizations are partly fraternal, partly insurance, and all of them loyal to the church. They includa the llihernians, the Knights of Columbus, and many others, enrolling in their membership thous ands of Catholic men.

cation of the number of bishops so that each may be familiar with his own field and stay sufficiently long in it to be able to lead Methodism in that field constantly and intelligently. Under the present Methodist plan bishops, now only 12 in number. hold annual conferences in many parts of the country, and perhaps do not return within the year to ascertain the suitability of their appointments of min isters, or the wisdom of other decisions made in unfamiliar fields and under hur- ried conditions.
 In his defence of the present Methodist polity Bishop Nicely begins with the Rev. John Wesley of London, in the first half of the eighteenth century and follows the early Methodist organization as 1t came to America and grew inso the Meth oGist church. He points out to Methodist laymen that the Methodist system has three determining parts: Connecuonal surervisionals and constitutional.
 "The local church," argues the bishop, lis part of a great system and all the churches are bound together by com mon government. In this government there is a system of graded oversight

The Churches and Organized Labor

Over 12h,000 Protestant ministers are being requested by the social serv ice commission of the federal council of the Churches of Christ to preach on some phase of the labor question on Labor Sunday, September B.
 The Rev. Charles s. Mcfarland, sec retary of the commission, has sent out a call to the secretaries of the ministerial associations in the cities, recommending that wherever possible Il union service be held in one of the churches on Sunday night to which or ganiZed labor and all other working men and women be invited; and that the various ministers preach sermons appropriate to the occasion in their own churches on the morning of Sep tember' g..
 At recent convention of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, resolu . tion was unanimously adopted desis- hating the sunday preceding the first Monday in September as Labor Sui- day and that the churches of America be requested to devote some part or this day to the discussion Of some phase of the labor question" The Varl- ous central and local labor bodies were also requested, in this resolution, ito cooperate in every legitimate way with the ministers who thus observe Labor Sunday. seeking, with them to secure as large an audience of work ingmen and others as possible

and authority, and all the parts of the church act under written constitution which guarantees the rights of each and every individual.
 At the summit of the superVisional system is the episcopate. which is not local or diocesan episcopate restricted to particular section, but one of a general character, so that a bishop might be assigned service in any part of the churches. This is an tinerant episcopaey but Nthe system provides for permanent and thorough local supervision through class of officers who used to be called presiding elders, but now are known as district superintendents. This is the local episcopate experimenting limited districts, while the bishops supervise the district officers, thus insurlng q very complete supervision, both local and general.
 ITO this supevisional system the over whelming mass of Iaymen and ministers are thoroughly loyal and the sytem has vindicated itself throughout many gen. erations. Indeed the church has been most prosperous when and where it has been most completely and consistently worked out and the greatest failures have been where the graded system of sli- pervision has allowed to fall into dsuse in whole or in part.
 With vigorous episcopacy and dis trict superintendency, the system" con cludes Bishop Medley, 'is near per feet as human institutions can be per feet. Certain needs now pleaded are the results of the working of the sys- tenn Methodist laymen declare that If Metho- dism keeps in the lead in, numbers in Protestant bodies 1t must readjust it's ma achinery. More than 25,00O churches and 3,200000 members are vitally inter ested in actions taken. There are about sixty lavmen's associations with 24O GOO members, made mp of the working lay men who hold most of the official posi- tons in Methodist congregations of the north.
