Whole Country Aroused on

In number OF laymen who attend its
conventions, and of those in cities where
convention had not been planned who en-
| ter upon work of their own accord the
Men and Religion campaign, thus far
exceeds the most hoperuI expectations Of
its projectors. From every part of the
United States and Canada reports come
of campaigns planned, committees Of
1 laymen appointed, and in more than one
hundred cities executive secretaries pro-
vided to give all of their time.
Conventions thus far held have exceed
ed in local interest anything yet planned
for a religious nature. The features
that have attracted widest attention are
the social service, the boy welfare, and
evangelism. In the first named the sur
vey is proving the striking feature for Il
presents to local church authorities con-
ditions of saloons, working hours Of Ia
boring men, health precautions, and
other important data which often they
never dreamed of. The surveys are put
into permanent form, and after conven-
lions are over are left with local workers
for use and guidance.
Committees OF responsible laymen have
just been named in New York. Brooklyn,
Hoboken, Baltimore, Buffalo, and
Charleston to take hold Of conventions
and campaigns. In Boston work is well
IL L
same is true of Pittsburg, where a care
full survey is making, and a street pa
rade of men and boys is planned. Cities
not on the original list, like Batavia,
n Y: Mankato, Mimi; Denison. Texas:
Lawrence. Kan; and Poughkeepsie. N.
Y, have taken up the movement on their
own initiative.
The movement has been surprised and
gratifled, 1t states, by the Unexpectedly
large number of foremost ministers, al
most all bodies, who have thrown them
selves into the campaigns in their own
cities. Reports from cities in which con-
ventions have thus far been held are
to the effect that the team plan. a new
one, works out to greater satisfaction
than expected. Newspapers are giving
space to it in amount such as they
never gave, it is stated, to any religious
undertaking. Conventions just ahead in
point OF date are Little Rock, Dayton.
Houston, st. Louis. Nashville, Charles
ton, w. Va, and Topeka, Kan.

Result of the Vote.

The transcontinentaI limited was speed-~
ing through the wilds of Utah. Two
scholarly looking gents near the front
door OF the chair car were engaged in a.
discussion on the subject OF psychology
philosophy, and kindred vices. The con-
versation grew so animated that-the at
tention OF other passengers was attracted.
And suddenly one OF the quarrelsoma
scientists arose and said:
"Fellow-passengers, 1 must appeal to.
you to settle a dispute. My friend In
sists that not more than three persons
out Of five believe in a life after death.
1 claim that a much larger percentage OF
humanity believes in personal mortality.

immortal souls please raise both hands?"|
Every hand in the car went up.
1T is unanimous cried the speaker in
voice OF triumph. Now, please keep

Change of Eye Color.

The possibility Of a mans eyes chang.
ing color aS the result OF mental shock
or physical Ill treatment was the subject
of an interesting discussion recently
by number Of surgeons in the eye ward
OF one Of the great London hospitals.
One OF the surgeons stated: 1T IS
common knowledge that great physical
hardships may suddenly turn the hair
white. The loss of color here follows
on certain chemical changes, due to dis
turbances OF nutrition, taking place in
the tiny particles OF coloring matter,
which give the hair its color.
'All infants at birth have blue eyes.
In some babies Immediately after birth
pigment granules begin to develop in the
iris. Thus they become brown or black
eyed. In others, however, no such pig
ment formation takes place and the eyes
remain blue or gray throughout life.
IF this at present blue eyed ex-con-
vict is really theomissing brown-eyed
banker a reasonable explanation Of the
discrepancy in the eye colorings would
be that under the stress of physical and
mental shock the coloring matter which
had in early life developed in each iris
had atrophied or disappeared, leaving |
the eyes the original blue coloring pres
emit at birth.

dredth anniversary OF st. Georges
Church, New York, famous as the work
of the Rev. DR.. Stephen H. Tying, and
later Of the Rev. DR.. w. 8. Rainsford, the
vast congregation, including Mr.. ]. Pier
pont Morgan, former Mayor Seth Low,
and other distinguished people, all were
hidden from the pulpit to pray for the
President of the United States the mayor
Of New York, the church throughout the
world, and similar definite persons and
causes, and then there was read a list Of
names of former New York ministers,
and laymen connected with St Georges,
with the command to give thanks for
such lives and to pray for the contin-
uance Of work which they did in their
time.
Churches have long had sermons, pray
ers, Psalm reading, Bible lessons, an
thems, and hymns. Bidding prayers form
new yet old variety in public religious
worship. and are being introduced not
alone on great occasions, but into ordi-
nary Sunday morning services.

THE TREND OF THINGS.
Laymen's Movement to
the Churches.

The general secretary OF the Laymen's
Missionary Movement, Mr.. ]. Campbell
White, has issued a message to the
churches of the United STATES and Can
ada, calling attention to the fact that
the movement was five years old on No
vember 10 last. The secretary thinks the
past five years witnessed the most ex-
tensive and inspiring increase Of mis-
sionary interest during modern times.
The greatest series of union meetings
for Christian men ever held in North
American has occurred during this pc
Rod. Several hundred thousand men
have been reached directly and many
more indirectly.
The movement has proved, thinks the
secretary, that intelligent enthusiasm
for foreign missions is not hindrance
but a help to every other Christian &C
tivity. With larger offerings for work
abroad have come larger gifts for Work
at home. Thousands of mems mission
airy committees have been appointed as
a result of Its agitation, and all of these
work for both home and foreign mis-
sions. The spirit of Christian unity has
had a phenomenal development. Great
cOmmunions are now cooperating to q
degree supposed to be impossible five
years ago. Far higher standings of
Christian stewardship are coming to be
recognized and adopted. That most ex-
pensive of all human effort, prayer, IS
being offered with multiplying frequency
by laymen.
The secretary states that financial
gains to missions during the five years
are the greatest ever made during a
similar period by the churches of entire
nations Churches of Canada have in
creased from S1,492, 300 to S2.216,OOO an
nuaIly in their combined home and for
eign gifts. Taking the United States and
Canada together, the increase of foreign
missions alone has been from IS, $50 200 TO
$l3, 80, 900 annually, or a gain of about
80 per cent. In addition to this increase
to current gifts, more than S., O0o,O 900 has
been raised during the past two years in
special equipment or endowment for for
eign work.
The secretary says the movement ex-
poets to cooperate with the missionary
agencies of the churches until the work
of world evangelization is actually &C
complished. At present there are twenty
regular paid secretaries of the movement,
and the number is steadily increasing.
The movement is not a spasmodic or tenn
porary sentiment, says the secretary, but
the expression of a profound and de-
termined purpose to rally and hold the
men of the churches to the accomplish
ment of the greatest task ever commit
teed to human agency.

Big Campaign for Industrial
Workers.

Seventeen religious bodies sent official
delegates to a recent conference on So
cial service work, called by the secretary
Of that department of the Federal coun-
Gil of the churches. They were the Bap-
fist, Free Baptist, Christian, Congrega-
tional, Disciples, German Evangelical,
Mennonite, Methodist, Methodist South,
Methodist African, Presbyterian, Epis-
copaI Reformed Cboth Dutch and German
branches), Friends, United Brethren, and
United Presbyterian. Delegates reported
that nearly all of their bodies had or
garized or contemplated plans for So
cial service. Those which have commits
sions in active work are Baptist, Con-
gregatioHal, Methodist, Presbyterian, and
Episcopal.
A committee consisting of Prof. S. T.
Batten, Prof. Graham Taylor. Pref Wal
ter Rauschenbusch, the Rev. Harry F.
Ward, and Jacob Riis, recommended the
publication of a large series of hand
books on social service for use in the
churches and such publications was au-
thorized. Adjustment was made between
the Federal council commission and the
commissions of individual religious
bodies. This adjustment is that each
body do as much as it can by itself, and
in all larger efforts cooperate through
the council. 1t was recommended that So
ciaI service be taught in theological SEM
inaries, and that through the use of
hand books, ministers and lay people in
the churches be educated in the need
for social service and ways to-further it.
1t was announced that a nationwide
campaign is to be started at an early
date for one day rest in seven for in
dustrial workers. In the list of men
pledged to further this campaign in be-
half of industrial workers are Bishop
Lawrence, of Massachusetts,; Prof. Her
bert L. Willet and Prof Smaller
Mathews, of Chicago; John NJ. Glenn, of
the Sage Foundation; the Rev. DR.. John
H. Prugh. of Pittsburg; Prof. Edward
A. Steiner. of Iowa; the Rev. DR.. Will
lam I. Haven, of the American Bible
Society; Prof. Graham Taylor and Jacob
Riis.

Testimonial to Able Jewish
Woman

Miss Sadie American is president or
the New York section Of the Council of
Jewish Women. She is also executive
secretary of the Council of Jewish wom-
en- of the United States. Aggressive and
able, accustomed to attack big problems
and to solve them, she has long known
not only warm friends, but also warm
and often active enemies The rumor is
that some of the latter in the national
council would not object were she to re-
sign, or be superseded by another woman
next year.
In part to show her standing at home,
and in part to honor her for really
great things achieved, Miss American
has just been given substantial testimo-
malls from Jewish women of New York.
Among the givers of these testimonials
are some Of the most prominent leaders
in Jewish society. With the testimo-
mails were addresses, one personal and
the other general, recording achieve
ments of Jewish women of New York
under her leadership.
The list of these achievements is a
long one, and includes an advance in
membership from 300 to 1,7oo the found
ing of two great charities, one for way
yard girls and one for sick girls out of
Employment a remarkable home work
Tor the blind, through which they earn
money for support, the founding of an
immigrant aid bureau, and the success
I'll operation Of several employment
gencies for Jewish girls.

AIRMEN AS TICKLE

Men Who Fly Are Always
High Strung.

The man who starts from one great
city to another brings the new science
into highways and byways where new
things rarely travel He crosses the
city and the narrow streets beneath are
black with people, and when they seem
blown by gusts Of wind he knows that
they are rushing madly for a better
view of him. City roofs are suddenly
populated, down the dizzy perspective
Of some skyscraper half a thousand up
turned faces peer toward him, street
cars empty their loads-for two or three
center Of attraction. Then the power of
his great machine sweeps him be-
yond the city. beyond its encircling SUBJ
urbs, where steamboats, and locomotives
and factories shrek their whistles in a
bedlam of mad acclaim. He turns over
fields where only an occasional farmer
stops his pillow to look at the strangest
thing he has seen in all his long years
Of life, evades a pursuing automobile,
swift, but earth-bound and impotent,
gives a moment of excitement to an in
valid, bed-ridden, dlsturbs a party of
mourners gathered beside an open grave
in a country cemetery, invades a picnic
and gives 1t unexpected delight, sweeps
above all Of these, edges his course
along a mountain ledge, sending q giant
eagle scared to his eyrie. This, then.
is the Joy and the novelty Of cross-coun-
try flying. You need go, no further to
inquire the reason for its nationwide
popularity
But the man who flies above a meet
in an inclosed field knows that the source
of. his revenue is fairly well assured He
knows that a stand filled with pros
porous folk gives him an opportunity for
making a charge that for'any other sort
OF outdoor performance would be extor-
tionate. But woe betide the manager of
any meet who even hints at that unfor-
tunate word. Aviators in this stage OF
the new science are more high strong
than opera singers, and even the sus-
picion of criticism is enough to make
one of these stars turn his back upon a
manager, who to be most successful
must act the role of supplicant. "Ex-
tortionate!" Just hint at that and your
welI-trained aviator will turn around
and quickly name the tremendous death
roll of last year and then ask you II
any price Is "extortionate" for man to
demand when he takes his life in his

The GobbIinE of Turkey.

Charles Wellington FurlOng. in Harpers Weekly.
Mahommedan character is one Of
strong contrasts, and 1t is difficult to
predict which way 1t will tend. When
the French penetrated Tunisia, the
most careful military preparations
were made for an attack on Kairwan,
the most sacred Moslem city OF North
Africa, for here they adjudged the fol-
lowers of the prophet would make their
most determined stand. To the sur
prise of the invaders, on reaching its
gates they found them wide open, and
Kairwan was occupied without shot
being fired.
Tripolitania, however, is the homo Of
the most fanatical sect of North Africa,
the Senoussi, whose propaganda is the
re-establishment OF aggressive Mo-
hammedanism; secondly, It is land
of nomadic and untamed tribes, and,
thirdly, II is the territory of the most
progressive Of all Mohammedans, the
Turks, and under their control. The
Turks are past masters In dealing with
European aggression. So, in view Of
these three factors, 1 believe that
defensive stand will be taken, in which
the hostIlities reported to date will
have been but raids. The war. 1 think
has only begun.
The Turk knows that in the city OF
Tripoli he is defenseless against the
italian navy Whatever stand he takes.
cut on practically from re-enforcements
and supplies at home, he must take
against the army of invasion, and the
farther and more quickly he can in
duce 1t TO pursue him into the interior,
reinforced. as he will be by his Arab
and Berber allies, the better his chance
Of success.
And to pursue the Turks, supported
by their Arab allies, into the desert
will be no picnic.

There are really two consistories, not
one. First is the private one, where the
cardinals are appointed or created, al
though as is known now, some, at least,
are decided on. The public consistory Is
formal, but very solemn function,
when simply the names of the cardinals
are given out and the red hats con-;
ferred. There Is no further consecra-
ton. as happens when priests are raised
to rank of bishop. Sometimes a Pope
creates a cardinal In the private con-
sistory, but for olitical or other rea-
sons does not pr y aim him In the public
one. That Is why the records always
say created and proclaimed, or say that
cardinal this or that was created sin

dinaIs have been created at one con-
sistory and not proclaimed until q sue
reeding one. Whether any are thus Gre
