The TnrkeYs

From the Dallas News.
 "The old fashioned business man was tricky, but it is fashionable today for a business man to be as chivalrols to his business associates as he would be to a lady"
 The speaker was Miss Mary Garden. Seq ted in her dressing room at the Ritz Carton, she resumed:
 "Fhere Is a Thanksgiving story that H. 1ustrates the methods of the old fashioned, the extinct business man.
 "A business man, a poulterer, was in the habit of making claims on all bills Sometimes these claims were just; usually they were unjust; at any rate by his gem erous use of them he got a discount on every purchase of or per cent. well, one Thanksgiving season this tricky business man received a dozen bar rels of dressed turkeys from the dealer. Hence, now, he made the grievous error of writing and claiming for 6 birds that had sickened in transit and had reached his storehouse dead.
 "The western dealer replied to that claim as follows:
 Dear Sir-We regret to say we find it impossible to allow the claim put forward fn yours of 24th instant. We have estab- 1ished rule that all customers desiring live dressed turkeys must notify us of same in advance, so that we may ship birds in cars specially steam heated

Glimpse Into New Turkey

A glimpse into the inside of the new Turkey is given by a correspondent or the American Bible society, written from Constantinople. There is in that city a university, admission to which is gained upon graduation from gov ernment schools, or by examination Tn the usual western subjects. Recently Mohammedan theological students pro- cured the introduction into the Young Turk parliament of a bill providing for their admission to the university. Although their school teaches no sc1- ence, nothing save theology of the Koran. parliament passed the bill with out debate.
 No sooner had it done so than the minister of public instruction, Abdur- man Bey, arose to say that the vote must be reconsidered or he would re- sign. An uproar followed. The strict Mohqh medans cried out that religion is being discriminated against, and that the new Turkey is going to the dogs by the way of atheism. The min ister stuck to his point, and the vote was reconsidered and the bill defeate ed.
 Now, because of the publicity. the Mohammedan theological seminaries have been ordered to modernize and extend their courses of study. Moreover, "softas," as their students are called, are ordered to undergo military duty like all other students. The changes are regarded as of extreme importance as showing advances in the old Turk ish system.

CHURCH UNION WORK

Organic changes of very far reaching im'
 portance are proposed by Congregational
 ists. The changes are outlined in a re
 port made by 19 representative men, ap
 pointed a. commission on polity by the
 national council one year ago in Bos-
 ton, and instructed to report two yearE
 hence to the council to meet in Kansas
 City. On the commission are the moder-
 ator of the council. the Rev. Dr. Nehe-
 miah Boynton the president of thu
 American board, Hon. amuel B. Capen;
 the chairman of the international commit tee Young Mems Christian association
 Dr. Lucien c. Warner. and leaders of like grade, among them the Rev Dr. Henry A. Stimson, the Rev. Dr. Rockwell H. Potter. the Rev. Dr. William E. Bar ton. Prof. Frank k. Sanders and Prof Williston Walker.
 The trend of the renort ie in favor ot a complete reorganization of American Congregationalism, and greatly to con tralize it. It is claimed, however, that Congregational traditions are not vio- lated in any marked degree. The legis- lative power and the representative character are introduced. The national council, a volunteer body, becomes much more an official one. It is to sit every other instead of every third year, and through it's nomination of fixed pro- portions of managers of missionary so- cieties it is in effect to come into con- trol of all Congregational benevolences
 The American board, the oldest of American missionary societies, Is con- tinued for foreign work, subject to con- trol as just outlined. but for home work there Is proposed a home board of mis- sions into which all existing home be- nevolent organizations are either merged or to which control is surren- dered. Several of these organizations are comparatively small like education, church building, ministerial relief and publishing, but two well known socie- ties, both home, form the basis of the proposed home board. These are the present home and the American mis- sionary The former celebrated its dia- mond jubilee a few years ago. It grew out of a society formed in early days in Connecticut. and has had much to do with the planting of Congregational churches throughout the west. The American Missionary association grew out of the Civil war controversies and times, and has had to do with Fisk uni and similar educational insti- | tutions in the south, with Indian and | Esquimaux work, and later with Porto 1 Ricans.

American Youth Wanted

Appeal is made by the new Catholic Foreign Mission society to American young men to consider courses of train ing in the society's new seminary, and then to volunteer for service as Catho- lie missionaries in foreign fields. The new seminary is located at Hawthorne, N Y, and has already secured funds sufficient to provide modest quarters. Two priests are in charge, Rev. James A. Walsh and the Rev. Thomas Price, and the new society and its seminary are auth horized by the American arch bishops and approved by the Pope
 In foreign mission fields there are almost no Catholic missionaries speak ing the English language. The Eng fish forces on these fields are Protestant. only few years ago the Catholic church in America itself ceased to be a missionary one, and was put upon the same level as the Catholic church in France, Spain and Catholic countries of Europe Lately, as everybody knows, it has been accorded new cardinals and 1t not unlikely to be accorded one or two more soon. With this new outlook, efforts are to be made in America and in England to secure vastly more Eng fish speaking priests, nuns and lay workers in the foreign fields of Africa and Asia.
 Rapidly increasing it's gifts of money from American Catholics for work in foreign fields is the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. with head quarters in Lyons, France, and sup ported in largest measure by French Catholics It is one of the great mis- sionary societies in the world with receipts of upwards of $S,000,O00 year Within the past few years American Catholic gifts have reached s100,000 year, or little more.

High Cost of Antitnxin

 Dr. W. A. Evans of Chicago thinks the price charged for diphtheria antitoxin in this country is too high. He says:
 "Antitoxin WAS discovered by Von Beh- ring of Germany. It was put to practical use by Roux of Franco These men gave their discovery to the world. A number ot manufacturers went into the business in this country. They had to buy no pat ent, pay TO royalties. It does not cost much to nuke aat.toxin.

Difficulties continue between Russia and the Vatican. After Czar Nicholas II issued his decree of tolerance, things did not improve as it had been hoped they might do. Rome has been and still is displeased. It is stated in Rome that religious functions under Roman Catholic direction in Russia have been suppressed when they were attempted in mixed populations. Processions and pilgrimages have been prohibited in many instances, or where permitted flags and music were not allowed. New Roman Catholic churches cannot be built unless half of the building money is deposited in the hands of the au- thorities

RantistS' Strength


 The Rev. pr. Robert $. Macarthur of New York has just sailed for Rus sia on a mission unlike any which an American citizen, certainly an Ameri can divine, every entered upon. He is the new president of the Baptist World Alliance. and in real sense represents Christian people by the hundreds of thousands, even millions, as might be possible in no other religious body. His mission is first to Russia, but 1t is even broader than that He goes bearing letters to world rulers from President Taft, and letters from Secre- tary of State Knox to ambassadors in all countries in Europe and Asia which he expects to visit.
 The alliance presidents mission to Russia is to ask the Czar and the Rus sian government for a larger measure of religious liberty for all peoples of all faiths within his vast empire. He will present, he says, written state ment and will back it up with an oral one in case he is permitted to do SO He is famous throughout the Roman Catholic church in America for having preached and spoken many things against it. He says that now, however, he will ask the Czar for larger liberty for Roman Catholics in Russia, of which there are many thousands, and especial ly for better treatment for Jews.
 Just before sailing President Mac Arthur admitted that his mission in Russia is difficult one. New Eng land Puritans have treated Baptists as badly as ever Russians treated Jews" he observed, and 1 suspects the Czar of all the Russias knows it. The Amer ican people have been cruel to the American negro, and l suspect the Czar knows that, too. We exclude the Chinese, and l am sure that all Rus sia knows that, and knows how un- just we are in this respect. Never theless, l believe that with full con- fession for American failings on my part, may be able to accomplish some thing on Russia's part"
 The Rev Dr. Macarthur has suc- ceeded in raising from American Bap- lists considerable sum of money with which to complete a Baptist church in St. Petersburg. He will assist in this church dedication while there, and will visit Moscow, where are other Baptist churches He will not visit Rome, where there is considerable Baptist membership, but will go to some other European centers, where Baptist strength has much increased of late. Then he will continue around the world,

Toward Church Union

A first step toward union between the the Presbyterian and Reformed churches the latter the Dutch and not the German branch, was taken in New York last week. The promoter, the Rev pr. Henry Sloane Coffin, young Presbyterian pastor who comes from the famous Sloane family of New York, said there has been much talk about unity and he thought it time somebody made a start towards it. Presbyterian and Reformed communions have pre- cisely the same form of government, and almost the same confessions-the Westminster and the Heidelberg If they cannot unite, the young leader wondered what two bodies could do so.
 The action proposed thus far does not contemplate organic union, nor does it mention federation. It simply proposes cooperative work, with the thought that 1t might lead to actual and complete union some day The work is church extension in New York suburbs, united adjustment in New York suburbs, united adjustment of eX- isting fields in Manhattan, and possi ble common work in public institutions. Only one presbytery and one classis are involved. Members of these bodies have just held a union meeting, the first in their long histories. The sen timent was cordial. and plans of work as outlined were unanimously agreed upon.
 The Presbyterian body involved is the large modern one, with 100000 communicants. The Reformed church is that which, coming from Holland not long after the Pilgrims came from England by the way of Holland, set tied New York and founded the first church there. That church is still in existence, with Fifth avenue place of worship, and is a part of the great Collegiate Reformed corporation. There are Reformed churches in other parts of New York, in New Jersey, and Tn a few other states, but most in Michi gan. The total membership is about 10000 in the whole country.
