Business in railroad equipments is

MEN AND RELIGION
FORWARD MOVEMENT
Notes From the Field.

Clinton, Iowa. is well organized for
the Men and Religion Movement. The
rector of the Episcopal church, Rev.
F. H. Burrell, Phi. D., is chairman OF
the committee for bible study and is
earnestly cooperating in the move
rnent.
Hoc. Henry Wallace has announced
his acceptance of the Craftsmanship OF
the national committee on rural
churches in connection with the Men
and Religion Movement.
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement was not unappreciated in
Grand Rapids, Mich. Things were &C
complished entirely worth while; ma
chinery was set in motion which will
result in permanent good. While the
eight day campaign was not all the
local hoped for, nor have the plans OF
the experts been as quickly incorpor-
ated into the life of the churches as
might be desired. the prospect for eff
fective church work was decidedly
,, frightened by the ideas and ideals of
the workers.
John Mitchell in Springfield Meeting.
The social service phase of the Men
and Religion campaign in Springfield,
Mass. was given special emphasis by
an address by John Mitchell, who
characterized the ministers as :he

leaders of thought in any community
but urged upon them broader appre-
citation of the viewpoint and conditions
of the workingman. He urged the min
listers association to send delegate
to the legislature to- work for the in.
terests of the workingman.
Mr.. Mitchell said the American
workingman must either. join the
must Join something more radical. He
said the thing which ought to be Of
! interest to the clergymen especially
was the fact that a high-grade Christ
ianity was anything but consistent
with low scale of wages and low
standard of living. A question was put
to him in regard to the violence some
times exercised by labor unions. The
speaker said that some of the worst
strikes on record were started by non
union men, and that the labor union
was really a protection, not only for
the worlzingman, but for society as
we'll.
w. r. Lane at Ashland, Ohio.
Before the Columbus convention
committee of one hundred men from
the churches and Y. M. c. A. of Ash
land, O.. was organized to cooperate
in the Men and Religion Movement.
Evangelistic meetings for the men
and boys of Ashland were determined
upon. Seven delegates to the CONVEX
ton at Columbus returned filled with
enthusiasm. They engaged Evangelist
w. R. Lane of London, who held spe-
cial services for one week. The local
pastors preached for one week before
Mr.. Lane came. He is one of the two
Free Church council evangelists, the
other being Gypsy Smith. He won the
Ashland men from the very start.
Meetings for men were held every
night and meetings for both men and
women every afternoon, the latter be-
ing largely given to expositions ofthe
scripture, in which Mr.. Lane excelled.
When the week for which Mr.. Lane
had been engaged had expired. the
men were not willing to let him go
and persuaded him to stay nearly a
week longer. At the end Of that time.
learning that he was to be allowed a
vacation during the holidays before
going to his appointments in the west,
the Ashland men prevailed upon him
and his wife to remain longer. Mr..
Lanes work in Ashland was of a char
acter to widen and strengthen the
foundations of the Christian faith.
