IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD

The Pope is reported to be extremely
anxious for the welfare Of Roman Cath
Ollie interests in the Balkans IL the Sui
tan departs.
Albanian sentiment at home is renect-
ed by an address just issued by Albanian
priests in America to representatives OF
the Russian Orthodox Church here, and
its expressions are partly political and
partly reflective of the enmity that ex-
lists between the two branches OF the
Eastern Orthodox Church. Although
both Eastern Orthodox, the Greek and
the Russian branches; have never agreed
very well and are likely to work stlll
less together In future. Bulgaria has It's
autonomous church, more closely allied
to Russian than to Greek. The Albanian
priests resident here say the allies have
treated Albanians worse than ever did
the Turks, and they cite historic proofs
and instances.
Jewish leaders, both Zionist and 9TH
ers. are taking steps to send nnanciai
relief from America to Jews in the Bal
kans Several committees have been
named to collect funds, and already con-
siderable sums have been cabled. No
political use is to be made Of contriou-
tions. although Zionist Jews declare the
outcome Of the war is TO help their
cause immeasurably. Relief funds are
to go to assist suffering Jews resident in
either Turkey or the countries of the
allies. The Methodist Foreign Board.
having received appeals from Bulgarian
MethodIsts, is asking Methodists here to
contribute through its hands to fund
for the relief of Balkan sufferers by the
war.

mer, a disinterested sun1merer, and found
the work for needy people more valuable
than he had dreamed possible. He was
especially interested in the large herd
of reindeer which Is being handled so

interested him. He found that Dr. Gren-

ciple of requiring from every man to

NEW YORK DISCIPLES
WOONG THE WEST

To the Disciples general convention
recently held at Louisville. the Disciples
of Christ, OF New York City, proposed a
gift TO them Of S25o.0OO TO make a fund
of $4,000 with which to establish in New
York City a Disciple church of COM
manding size and prominence. The pro-
posal was made not so much for action
as for education. 1t is admitted that II
will take time to carry through the un-
usual proposition. Some declare 1t will
not carry even with time. Others say
that If Disciples OF the Middle West send
money to the money center they will
surpass in devotion any Christian prop
agandists OF modern times.
The plea OF the New York Disciples is
that there must be created in the largest
city in America a plant OF large size.
centrally located. This need stands out
for many reasons, they say. One Is for
Disciples going to New York from the
West. Another is that news goes from
East to West. and that Disciples cannot
hope TO be national in prominence and
influence until they are known. Still an
other is the Disciples plea for unity
and the Bible. and its need to New York.
Disciples have about a dozen churches
in New York, including Brooklyn, and
one of them. with property worth about
Sl5O. 600. is to be sold, and included in
the proposed new plant. The latter is to
be placed in a prominent location in
Manhattan. While many churches in
Manhattan cost more than 10000. in
cluding site. 1t is claimed that that sum
will make a fairly good showing. 1t is
proposed by the New York Disciples that
some OF the Disciples general societies
remove from the West to New York. but
so far no society has yet agreed TO do
so. The New York people claim that
there is a growing number in the West
who see the strategic value Of their
proposition and are beginning TO favor 1t.

METHODISTS MAKE BIG
GAINS IN MISSION GIFTS

The recent meeting Of the Methodist
Board OF Foreign Missions revealed the
fact that the board increased its receipts
enormously In the two months following
August. and closed its year at the end Of
October with the largest receipts in its
history. Methodist churches OF the North
give money in such sums that their for
eign society is the largest in America
and the second largest in the world It's
receipts last year were Sl,5S9, 100, OF &lS.SDO
ahead Of the previous year, and by the
same sum the largest since MethOdists
separated their home and foreign work
In ly17 The debt OF the board, SlTl 800 last
year. has been reduced 10 3l3S,SO0 and a
campaign to wipe II all out was reported
to be receiving cordial support.
Last August new Methodist secretaries,
elected 1T the general conference last
May. issued a statement to Methodist
churches OF the country in which a some
what desperate situation. both in receipts
and in debts, was outlined. Inadequacy
Of income, decreased receipts from reGU-
lar sources, work in fields at a stand
stiIl. cuts in appropriations imminent.
and unsatisfactory basis Of appOrtion-
mcnts upon the churches at home, were
some OF the dire descriptions OF the Au-
gust address. The response has been
such as to cause general rejoicing among
NethOdists over the new interest.
Announcement is made that the neces-
slty to make reductions in the work on
the fields no longer exists and that the
expenditures can be put to the highest
level ever. The strongest Methodist
sources OF money supply are Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania. with Michigan,
Maryland. and Californis close behind.
1t Is noted that both the New York and
Philadelphia FIELDS. grouping their con-
ferenCeS for purposes of comparison,
show steady decline. In three years
one goes down from S3I. 900 to $1,000, and
the other from 5000 to $4,000.

II Is estimated that there are 2,ooo. 900

OF them have been supplied with Bibles.
In 1908 the first Bible was placed in q

5000 were distributed In the first year.
At % cents each, il is estimated that It
will cost $4,000 to place books IN the
remaining hotel rooms.
The "Gideons'' were organized at James
Vile, Wis, In 1859. The object was to
unite travelling men in Christian unity so
that they might feel a mutual interest

REMOTE REGIONS OF BRAZIL
WANT MORE CIvILIZERS

Missionary leaders in London have just
sent appeals to similar leaders In New
York to join them in a united endeavor
to reach and save Indian tribes IN re-
mote regions of Brazil. The saving part
relates, it is asserted, not merely to souls,
but TO bodies, for gradually Indians are
being wiped out through disease and vices
learned from whites The impression pre-
walls that few Indian tribes remain. II is
said, on the contrary, that vast regions
Of Brazil remain wholly unexplored, over
most OF which Indians roam at will.
Universities and learned societies Of Eu-
rope and America are sending expeditions
to Brazil to study these Indians and to
bring away museum specimens. Much
money is being spent in this research
work. appeals for 1t containing statements
that collections must secure such speci-
mems at once. before the tribes are ex-
terminated. BrRziTs government has also
walked up. and is providing museums In
Rio and San Paulo with chronological in
formation concerning BraZil's early peO-
pies.
The appeal OF the missionary leaders is
that there be formed an expedition that
shall go across South America from east
Ia west on latitude 10 Here, II is
claimed. is an unemployed region as in
teresting and almost as'eNtensive as that
which David Livingstone penetrated in
Africa Attempts have been made by
Christian missionaries TO reach the upper
Amazon districts, but all have failed
Vast sections OF Brazilian coast even
are roamed over hv Indians. unmolested
by any white people and untouched by
civilization. This appeal to New York
societies has not as vet brought response.
The expedition TO Peru, supported chiefly
in London. is getting subscriptions, but
the larger Brazilian Indian field Is as yet
untouched. 1t is held by the English
missionary leaders that TO the United
States attaches a peculiar responsibility
to help that is even greater than that
attaching TO England OF any part OF Eu-
