were made by Gen. Wood, Admiral

Millions of Money Involved.

Several religious bodies will join, it is
said, in a statement soon TO be issued to
the public concerning conditions and out
look of the churches, Protestant for the
most part but to some extent Catholic,
in New York City. The statement will
aim to prevent alarming reports that will
be spread abroad, so these religious lead
ers fear, to the effect that the church.
even Christianity itself, is failing in New
York
So nearly as can be learned, the argu-
ment of the statement will be that there
is just ahead Of New York the most stu
pendous economic and material change
that any city Of the world ever skperi-
enced. Within fifteen to twenty years
Manhattan, even to larger extent than
now, will be the downtown business sec

Immediately, must move away, or radi-
cally alter their buildings and change
the character of their work. Jews are
supplanting Christians, but in time even
Jews will be driven of the island by
business inroads.
Within the next decade or two, when
church after church finds itself in diff
fculty, reports will go abroad that New
York no longer takes to religion, and
that Christianity is failing To forestaII
these reports, and to explain precisely
what is happening. is the aim of the

officials in religious bodies most largely
represented on Manhattan Island are even
now calculating what churches are to re-

studying how TO change buildings and

Courage and Grit in Religious
Life of Men.

There are 100000 more women and
! girls in America who are members OF
the churches than there are men. 1t is
the 1900, 600 men that this movement aims
to reach" said the Rev. Randolph H.
! McKim, rector of the Church of the
! Epiphany, in an address on the Men and
Religion Forward Movement last Sunday
| evening.
In 1865 it was commonly said in France
! that religion was a fine thing-for women.
If religion, with its grand conceptions,
its glorious hopes, and its strong con-
summations were only for women, then
they are worthy to be called blessed
But in Paris at this time religion and
morality had sunk to low ebb; 1t was
time when the pleasure-loving French
man, STEPPED in Voltaire, rejected the
spiritual things of life. How the vitality
of the nation was sapped by unbelief was
shown a few years later, when its splen-
did reputation was crumbled in the clash
with Germany.
How about America to-day? Is re-
Hgion a thing for women alone? Is It
unmanly? We don't like to believe it, yet
there is the fact, developed by this Men
and Religion Forward Movement, that
women in the churches greatly outnum-
Der the men. The Christian religion is
so far from unmanly that the wisest and
endeavor to live up to it. The best
thing in the world is to be a real Chris
tian.
No man can be a Christian without
courage, grit, and determination. Any
man must be stronger and better for
taking 1t UP, if he goes to the heart
of the religion instead of merely touch
ing the surface. A large proportion of
the ablest men of the world have ac-
cepted and rejoice in the belief of the
Christian religion. Philosophers, mathe-
maticians, orators, and poets have ac-
cepted it and have found in it rest and
satisfaction.
"A large part of the aristocracy of the
human intellect, both past and present
is enrolled in support Of the Christian
religion. Men of America and Europe
are rallying to it. 1 would not say that
the conversion of the world is exclusively
mans problem, however, for that is a
task that comes home to women as well
as men.
1t appeals to their reason. The Christian
religion, however, is the only one that
does appeal to reason; the Mohammedan
religion addresses itself to the passions,
with its slogan of Beauty and booty
Gladstone didn't find Christianity at
variance with his reason. The success
of Ingersoll was due to the fact that he
held up a caricature Of the Bible before
the world. VIII you men of Washing
ton dedicate yourselves to the Men and
Religion Forward Movement and to a
better and nobler life?'

Progress in China.

The Chinese-American training school
in Pekin, where prospective university
students selected by their government to
go to America to finish their education
receive their college preparatory courses
in English, is one of the most interesting
results of American activities in the
Flowery Kingdom. According to ]. Camp
bell White, secretary of the Layman' s
Missionary Movement, who has just re-
turned from a tour of the mission fields
of the Orient in company with his
brother, DR.. W. W. White, this prepara-
tory school has seventeen American
teachers and 43O Chinese students. About
fifty Of its graduates are sent every year
to enter various American universities.
The principal Of the school is q Chinese
Christian. Chang Behling by name. The
money for the support Of the schol is
derived from the Boxer indemnity fund,
paid to China by the United States af-
ter the rebellion Of several years ago
1t is from this same fund that the ex-
penses Of the students are paid while they
are in the United States. In all, there
are about 700 young Cinnamon now en-
rolled in American institutions support
ed by the government out of the indem-
nifty money.
The Chinese are, however, doing great
deal themselves to further the spread of
Christianity through the nation. The
Canton Christian College has a large
building built by Chinese money, and the
Chinese in Shanghai have bought two
very expensive lots for Y. NJ. c. A. ex-
tension. preparatory school for Boone
College has been erected by the Chinese
in Wuchang and another in Hankow.
The White brothers, in their tour of
China, came into contact with about 100
missionaries, about one-fourth Of all the
missionaries in the nation. They were as
sembled for the most part at the three
summer conferences, at which resoIu-
tons were passed calling upon the con-
tinuation committee of the Edinburgh
conference to appoint six men-two ex-
perienced missionaries, two Chinese ex-
perts, and two experts from the home
land-to make a comprehensive study of
the mission situation in China and recon-
mend an evangelistic policy TO be follow
ed by all the churches now at work In
the nation.
Reduction Of the time deemed necessary
to learn the language would be perfectly
possible, 1t is believed. and this would
add greatly 10 the efficiency OF the work
now being carried on in China. At pres
ent about three years are required to
gain conversational knowledge of the
Chinese tongue; the establishment Of a

Thursday, November 30, is the day ap-
pointed for taking offerings for the gen.
eral clergy relief fund. AZ the last do
cesar convention it was decided to
merge the diocesan fund for the support
of the superannuated, infrm. and dis
abled clergy with the general fund which
for years has been helpin gto provide
for the aged and infirm clergy Of this
diocese. AS a matter of fact, for every
dollar Washington contributes the gen.
eraI- fund contributes three if> not four
dollars more.
Apropos Of the appeal for generous
aid for the aged clergy, attention should
be called to the annual meeting held on
Friday, November 3. at the Church Mis-
sions House. New York, of the Clergy
mems Retiring Fund Society. The re-
port of the treasurer showed that there
had been paid out in annuities $1SS26
and that the capital fund is now $3l2,613.

Most Perfect System of Protecting Money

possible advancement of the Archbishop
of Spoleto, the Archbishop of Florence,
and the abbot primate of the Benedic-
tines. The order named is now withoul

Unusual circumstance. 1t is not at all
unusual that no names at all are an

It is held not to be unlikely that at this

1t is announced from Rome that Pope
Plus x will soon publish a document ad-
dressed to Catholic priests of the world
making important changes in the Roman
breviary. This breviary is the service,
in printed form, which every priest is
required to recite daily. part OF it he
may use in the mass, but If on any day
he do not celebrate the mass he is to
recite 1t privately, and in full. Reading
at his usual rate OF words per minute,
most priests need one hour and a quar-
ter to recite II.
It is not known definitely as yet what
changes the Pope will order, but rumor
has It that ne will restore the ferial
Office in full, and allow a commemoration
and a lesson to the feast of the day.
The report at first was that the new
breviary would be obligatory beginning
with the year 1912. but as the Pope's
can hardly be given out until
after the approaching consistory there
will not be time to get the changes in
printed form and into hands of the
priests. The changes are Of interest,
since not during the memory Of priests
now living have any breviary changes
been ordered.
