Improving Street Evangelism.

The Rev. Reginald ]. Campbell, of City
Temple, London, now in this country in
the interests of liberal Christianity and
intending to speak in principal cities as
far West as. Denver, started three years
ago in London a school for the training
Of street corner and factory evangelists.
He has now nine pupils, whom City
Temple supports. These are all 1t can
afford at present. 1t hopes to provide
for more later on.
Mr.. Campbell says he observed that
open-air evangelism had rather poor
speakers. He felt they ought to be even
better than the regular pulpit preachers.
This form OF evangelistic work Is in
creasing In this country. but has long
fiourished in England. The students of
City Temple school spend one month In
study and then go out, often to the far
ther ends Of the kingdom, and preach
Tor two months. This is a permanent
plan, Mr.. Campbell feeling, he says, that
as long as men remain students they

RAILROAD STRIKE
IN ENGLAND AGAIN
Solution of Labor Question
Far Away as Ever.

London, Nov. 11.-As was to be ex-
pected, the recent royal commission ap-
pointed to solve the great railroad ques-
ton has proved a compete failure, and
the whole country is once more in
state Of unrest which will probably cul-
inmate in another general railroad strike
before Christmas. The conservative
papers are trying to make il appear that
the railroad employees are going back on
their word to abide by the decision OF
the commission, but it appears that no
such promise was given, and besides 1t
is generally conceded that It is abso-
lutely impossible for them to live on the
wages they are now receiving, as the
cost Of living has greatly increased of
late.
The railroad companies point to the
fact that they are paying only very
small dividend to their stockholders, and
that they cannot possibly afford to pay
higher wages. This is partly true. The
fact Is this however. that there is IN
England an incredibly large number of
railroad directors and high officials, who,
though performing no duties or services
whatever, receive big salaries. This is
a great strain on the companies.
The Liberal government Is taking a
very active interest in the situation. and
various rumors are aioat as to what
the governments plans are. The most
sensational Of these rumors Is that the
government intends to take advantage
of an old railroad act passed consider
ably more than half century ago. pro-
viding for the municipal ownership OF
all the railroads OF the country, a plan
that was advocated by the late Mr.
Gladstone many years ago.

tertain the social committee, at which
time plans viii be considered for their
work in December.
Sherwood Church is now rejoicing in
the dedication Of the ediflce on Sunday
afternoon, November 19, at $50 o'clock
An impressive programme is being ar
ranged. Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, D. D.,
will preach the sermon.
The pastor, T. Berth;er Thompson, has
labored to make clear to the congrega-
ton the increasing value of the church
to meet the needs OF the community, not
only by affordlng place of worship and
praise, but by being a central radiating
power as deep as the human soul and its
needs and as broad as the many types
Of humanity and their more human
needs
THE church must furnish food for the
saint, to be sure" said Mr.. Thompson
to a Herald representative, but more
money and energy and Chrlst-lilke service
must be expended in turning out saints.
The church must have an objective that
Will make her spend and be spent for the
salvation of mankind by holding up
Christ, and revealing God and His love
to mankind, by creating a civilization
fishing relationships between man and
man that are according to the spirit Of
the Man Of Galilee, and by upholding
that simple, everyday, homely living
with warmth in It, and justice and
purity. In a word, for the producing of
character that reflects love in its fullest
meaning and makes God as seen in Jesus
Christ real and vital to the human heart,
as well as necessary tc the complex civili-
zation of to-day.
How to do this is the great problem
OF the church. The solving Of the prob
lem has largely to do with methods Of
approach and application. As change is
the basic law of progress in the world of
nature, so there Is in the realm of applied
Christianity a law that must be obeyed
and developed; this is the law of adapta-
ton. As every individual in a COM
munity needs God, so every one in a
community can have God presented to
them by adapting the Interchangeable
truths to their various and differing lives.
Facts remain the same, but mems con-
ception Of them vary according to the
man and his mental content; hence, the
approach and application must also vary.
Adaptation, therefore, is necessary to
gain this end"
A typical appeal for help for an aged
clergyman has been received by the
Washington clergy, showing but too for
chilly that the church's foremost duty is
to secure an adequate pension fund with
out further delay. The Rev. Edward
Davis and his wife, who have devoted
their lives to the work of the church,
first In Africa under Bishop Auer and
then In Washington districts under Bish-
op Keator and others, have been COM
PEELED by age and infirmity to retire. Mr..
Davis pension is 800 per annum out of
which he must pay rent for his small
house. 1t is purposed to build a little
home of their own for Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis, so that they may have $50 per
month on which to live
The appeal is only for 81 from each
donor. The Rev. John D. H. Browne,
rector Of st. Augustine's Church, santa
Monica, Cal, has the matter in charge.

He first became known for his won derful photographs, but his ambition was to be a painter, and all the money he made by photography he devoted to perfecting himself in painting. He has now completely abandoned photography, although be sieged with requests at prices which many a portrait painter would be glad to accept. Only in the case of personal friends will he consent to break his rule from time to time, the last exception being Miss Margaret Anglin, for whom he made a phC-o- graph-portrait considered to be one of the best he has ever done.
 Steichen is a close friend of Auguste Rodin, the sculptor, who has the very highest opinion of his young colleagues work, and 1t was upon Rodin's recommendation that he re- ceiyed the Luxembourg commission from the French government.

AsHURST ADDRESSES
 LOWELL DEMOCRATS
Candidate for Senate Closes His Campaign in the War
 ren District

Last night at Lowell. Henry Ash urst. candidate for the democratic nomination for the United States senate. closed his campaign in the Warren District by delivering a speech to an audience that was con siderably larger than the one which greeted him in Bisbee on Saturday night when the time between the an nouncement and the meeting was rather short to obtain such an audi ence as the speaker desired to ad. dress.
 After a rest of over Sunday from his speechmaking, Mr Ashurst was in better voice and spoke with greater ease than he did on Saturday night.
 Always eloquent and a pleasing speaker he last night held his audi ence during the whole Of his address during which he discussed matters political and gave to his hearers his reasons for aspiring to the toga. Like his speech in Bisbee. that of last night was more purely political, more argumentative and less rhetorical than those who have learned to know him from his speeches made in the past had expected.
 MT. Ashurst leaves today for Doug las wbtre he will deliver a speech to- night and from whence he will pro- ceed on to other parts of the state to-be.

 NJ. de Pulligny's colleague, M. We, tillart, General Inspector of Bridges and Roads, visited the United States last year and did preliminary work in arranging for French engineers to have opportunities for observing from the inside how great enterprises are conducted. Nj. vetillart found there the same hospitality in ideas that foreigners find in France. Four thou sand students are enrolled this year in the University of Paris alone. Thir- ty-six important American interests have agreed to admit French engin- COTS. They include two government departments, fourteen railroad com panies and eighteen mining and in dUstriad works of the first rank. The ministry of public works has granted an initial credit of S20,000 for the En. gineeringing Mission. Four engineers will be assigned by M. de Pullingny to particular work leter in the year.
 A signal honor has been done to American art by the selection Of the painter, Edward Steichen, of New York, to execute a large part of the mural decorations of the new Luxem- bourg Museum, formerly 1he great seminary of the archdiocese of Paris. which was sequestered by the gov. ernment after the separation law came into force.

PARIS, Sept. 25.-M. J. Pulligny the chief of the permanent engineer ing commission that the French gov ernment has sent to the United guished of the technical stan of the minister of public works. As chief engineer of the board of bridge and roads he has done important work in France He returned recently from Brazil, where by permission of the French government, he laid out and began the construction of the harbor improvements in Pernambuco which are to cost $1O,000.0O0 and be com pleted in five years.
 Before his departure, NJ. de Pull ligny spoke of what France might learn from the United States.
 Tt is generally thought here" he said that we can learn from the com mercial organization of American railroads, from the method of hand ling freight in ports and from the manner in which problems concern ing large public works are solved. It is likely that the immense develop ment of industry and transportation in the United States has originated ideas and methods which may be ap- piled to the further development of the same things in France. Ways of doing things cannot be transplanted entirely from one country to another, but the useful, growing out of the in- diyiduality of one people, may be studied and often adapted to the needs of another people.

 Other Legislation
 Ireland given Home Rule. Wales will demand the disestablishment of the church. The bin to give effect to this has long been ready for intro duction and has only waited the pas sage of the Parliament bill to give it a chance Of getting through the House of Lords. The prime minister has given his promise 10 the Welsh mem bers, and as soon as the Home Rule bin is out of the way t win be the turn of the disestabiishment Of Wales English and Scottish Liberals are also 10 have their more urgent demands complied with. The greatest out rage imaginable in the eyes Of the English radical is the old system by which voters may exercise the fran chise in as many electoral districts as they own property or have other interests. The Unionists being the party of wealth, the Liberals claim that this system gives them a great advantage. It is TO uncommon thing for a man to have half dozen votes. A wealthy London merchant for ex- ample. would certainly have three votes, one for his place of business, and one each for each of his town and county seats. and the elections being held on different days he has an opportunity to exercise them all. The Liberal proposal is one man. one vote and a one day election.
 A Heavy Program
 All of this in addition to land re form in Scotland and other social le- gislation, including the insurance bill' which. if passed this fall, will re- quire some additional legislation, is pretty heavy program.
 General Botha, first and present pre- mier of the Union of South Africa. the man who fought so hard against the British not SO many years ago, has found himself in the unique position of having 10 look to the English in South Africa as political allies. He has apparently become too British for  some of his Dutch competriots, sui fering in this respect much as does Sir Wilfred Laurier, in his native province of Quebec. Upon his return to South Africa after attending the Imperial Conference at London, Cen eral Botha found a rival claimant to the leadership Of the Dutch. General Hertzog, minister Of justice in the Botha cabinet has long been con spicuous for his advocacy of the use of the Dutch dialect in the schools Of the Union. He recently received an address signed by 12,000 Boers in which he is described as the national hero par excellence who has reused South African national spiri, out oi a peaceful sleep. and has helped to lay the foundation of a true South Al rican code of education, based upon equal rights" The address concludes with the significant words.

It's too bad that when all these little accidents hap pen your teacher should get an idea that you're somewhat to blame. see she says here in the letter: James is usually the ringleader in all defiance of discipline and in the use of noise making devices.
