The Men and Religion Forward
Movement is the biggest and boldest
evangelistic movement ever planned
In this country. We have watched
evangelism outgrow the local church
and grapple with whole cities. This
movement plans TO cover our whole
vast country. Our industrial and
commercial Organization has ceased
to be local and is becoming national
in its scope. Our religious organiza-
ton is keeping pace. Men say the
church is dying. This movement is
a reply. The energy OF religion Is in

OVER BATHS

should battle infrequently for a while.

that twice a week would be too In

Chief Thomas Harris of the fire de

vigorously that neither he nor the
other members of the fire department

biweekly bath.

Question Has Become Burning One
Throughout State Of. Massaehus-

Health Approves.

Boston.-How many baths does a
person require in a week?
The above question Is being asked
by about every one of Lynn's 100000
population. and the answers are va
ried ones. Some people claim only
one is necessary. thereby UNFOLDING
Water Commissioner Thomas Camp
bell. who has decreed that one bath
every seven days is enough.
Discussion of the subject Is not con.
fined to Lynn. as the question has be-
come a burning issue throughout the
state.
The water supply at Lynn became
low recently. and Water Commission
er Campbell. seeking to care for the
city's interests. asked that the citizens
content themselves with one bath a
week. The outburst OF indignation
which resulted fairly overwhelmed the
water commissioner. and he increased
the bathing privilege to twice weekly.
He did so grudgingly. however. and
still insists that one bath a week
would be sufficient-of course. taking
into consideration the condition that
exists.
Chairman Michael Ward OF the
board Of health said he approved of
the suggestion. He felt that the COM
paratively few who had become accus-
toned to the luxury Of a daily bath
should sacrifice their wishes for the
good OF the many. Their abregation
would be for good purpose. he said.
and rebound to their credit.
Chairman Ward went bit farther
and expressed the belief that many of
the politicians at the city hall should
practice the self-denial asked for. He
