There is one battle that the friends OF

ultimate victory is possible and that
must be made within the halls OF con-

Intoxicating liquors from a wet to a
dry state then there will De some show
of making effectual prohibitory legisia-
ton But every state that is snatched
from the wet column is a step in the
right direction and hastens the time

Business Methods

Those responsible for the conduct of the laymen5s missionary movement, which had series of great conventions in prin- cipal cities two years ago, and following 1 it published figures showing larger re- ceipts for foreign missions, say now that they no longer watch receipts of incomes of mission boards, but that they are bend ing their energies toward better business methods in the churches. especially meth ods relating to the securing of money for missions. To prove their indifference to
 mere money income. they replied they did not know how societies closing their books this fall had made out in receipts. the question having been put to them.
 The old plan, so they point out, was for churches to make appeals once year,
 not all of them, and take a collection, l first for one form of mission work, next for another form, and so on. There were many objections to the plan The move | ment now aims to install in all churches on all the year system, and to train lay
 men to operate it. The success of this plan has been marked. The movement says 1t brings larger interest, and eventu- ally 1t will bring larger sums of money. The first impression that the movement worked for foreign missions only is also being changed. In campaigns starting October 6, and covering about 100 cities. some missions are given prominence equal l to that of foreign in nearly all instances. The only exceptions are where 1t is be- | lieved that the foreign end has been neg l lected. and now needs bringing forward. Most of these 1912-13 conventions are held | in towns that were passed over in the campaign of two years ago Societies closing their books this fall show about the normal increase in receipts of years | before the movement began It's work. 1t | is admitted that there has been no phe- | nomenal increase. either in former years or In the year just now ending.

Conditions in Mexico

The American Baptist Home Mission So- ciety, which has had work in Mexico for half century, and to which Bap- lists of the United States have given thousands of dollars, has just received word of the robbng of missionaries, and the murder of one of their leaders. The occurrence was near Caxaca, and the name of the murdered missionary was the Rev. Eustacio Garcia. He was pure Aztec Indian, tall and handsome, and all though young in years has accomplished much. In A1usco, a village of 200 to 900, was a promising Baptist congregation. There came into the town company of a 1000 Zaptistas, and seemingly for no req son at all murdered lot of people, among
 them the young pastor.
 The same society, working with other Baptist societies. is just now entering upon a missionary campaign that takes in Baptist church of all states east of the Mississippi. This campaign, authorized by the Northern Baptist convention, is to raise Baptist missions gifts to s3,000,0 900 a year. and to do so within the next three years. Following that Baptists plan to
 increase mission gifts to 10 cents per mem Der, which would mean s60o0,0Oo year The earlier task involves an increase of 50 per cent.
 Last year Baptists had a spirited cam paign to secure $250,00 for aged ministers. They succeeded in getting the sum sub scribed, and it is stated that within a
 short time second campaign will be
 ordered. In the course of decade or so it

A Form of Government

There are S00,000 Christians in the Dni- ted States who call themselves Congrega- tionalists, partly because others call them by that name, and partly because each congregation manages it's own affairs, even making it's own creed if 1t wants to. tendency. obtaining with these Christians as with others having the same congregational form. has obtained during the past few years toward centralzation; a delegated body that acts for all, and either passes laws that are-to be obeyed, or makes recommendations that in prac- tice have the effects of laws.
 Forty years ago Congregationalists formed national council, but expressly stated in it's constitution that 1t was not, and was never intended to be, legisla- tive body. It met once fin three years, and was in large part social and mis- sionary. At length, in keeping with the times in all bodies, it came to be power in its own body, and within the past few years has made recommendations that were obeyed by about as large pro portion of congregations as in com munions that enact canons and attach penalties to them.
 Now the questions before Congrega- tionalists. presented by committee named by this council, are exciting warm interest. with discussion that promises to be lively during the coming year. These
 
 cil shall become a central body and enact laws, whether 1t shall become a con- tinuous body with permanent adminis- 'trative official or officials. whether dele gates to 1t shall be paid as are com mssioners to Presbyterian assemblies, and whether the council shall assemble foftener than once in three years. T Then there are the questions whether the benevolences, that Is. the missionary and similar societies shall be under this council, as Presbterian and Methodist boards are under supreme bodies to which they report. Congregationalists have some of the greatest missionary societies in the world, and some that have affected religious history and progress in America us have perhaps others. What shall they do? They are now volunteer in principle. but for a dozen years or more have tended more and more toward the representative and official.
 There is the further question of a single head, to be called a secretary, to be either a permanent official, or one serving be- tween meetings of the council, and repre- Eenting Congregationalism as moderators of general assembly represent Presby- terians. Perhaps there is greatest interest

NATIONAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
By ISABELLE MARR

While wars and rumors of wars, either politically or real, are engaging the attention of the nation, there has been in session during the past week in the national capital a body of men who are making an effort to devise ways and means" by which the nation, the State and the home will be relieved of the greatest destroying force, disease, that burdens humanity.
 The meeting of the fifteenth interna- tional congress on hygiene and demogra- phy last week is of worldwide impor- tance. The many phases of the physical and moral conditions of mankind has been the topics of study for centuries. universal sympathy for the weaker makes men and women anxious to work out the problem of eradicating disease, makes men and women give protection and seek co-opera- ton one with the other. The great prob fem of the future is not to learn the art of cure, but to learn the art of preven- ton. It is part of the strategy of war that an enemy seeks battle at a time and place when his opponent is least prepared for, just so with the enemy called 'di- scase;' the proneness of man to shut out those agencies that prevent disease admits of "a time and place for it's entrance.
 The study of the prevention of disease
