Northfield's Programme.

To the group OF substantial edifces
scattered over the picturesque Mortified
campus has Just been added a handsome
dormitory to be called Gould Memorial
Hall, which has long been sorely needed
by attendants and wOuldbe attendants
upon Mr.. Moodys school for young
women. The dedication of this $1,000
building brought together recently
a choice company OF friends OF the in
stitution, from New York. Boston. and
other cities and towns. An ideal June
day furnished the proper setting for
the simple, yet impressive. exercises.
Mss Helen Gould. OF New York City
the giver OF the buIlding-presented Its
keys to Mr.. William R. Moody. who In
words equally felicitous accepted the
trust Earlier in the day a luncheon was
given 10 Miss Gould at the Hotel North
field attended by 100 guests, amons
whom were Mrs. John S. kennedy. Mrs
Schauffier. OF New York, and a number
OF the trustees.
The Northfeld programme OF religious
conferences for the coming summer Is
perhaps the richest and strongest array
OF helpful religious inspiration which
this widely known summer gathering
place has recently presented. In earlier
years the student conference at the be-
ginning OF the season and the general
conference OF religious workers in Au-
gust have been the two mountain peaks
OF the programme; but at present a par
ticular endeavor is being made 10
strengthen all the intervening confer
ences!
For the recent meetings of the semi
narians as well as those Of the univer-
sity men. John R. Mott and Robert E.
Speer have been the outstanding leaders,
with important helpers in Principal
Cairns of Scotland. and Prof. Horne. OF
New York University. William Knowles
Cooper. OF the local Y. NJ. C. A. has
been in attendance and addressed the
students on the "Y. NJ. 9. A. General
Secretaryship a Life Work" From the
lst Of July well on into September spe-
cal morning Bible class will be held
daily in the Northfield auditorium. with
such teachers in charge as Rev. F. B.
Meyer OF London; DIR. Charles Erdman.
of Princeton; DR. James A. Francis, OF
Boston. and DR.. Johnston Ross. now of
Montreal. but hereafter to he identified
with Union Seminary in New York City.
July will be devoted to the conference
of the Young Womens Christian Asso-
citation. the summer school for Sunday
school workers and the ira ming school
of the women's missionary societies. The
famous general conference, which is un-
der the leadership OF w. r. Moody. son
of the great founder. will this year be
particularly devoted TO considering the
conservation Of the effects of the Men
and Religion Movement. The lectures
OF Rev. John A. Hutton. OF Glasgow. for
ministers, which were so extremely pop
ular last year. will be continued on cog
nate lines the present year. Other speak
ers announced are DR.. Cleland B. Nc
Afee, DIR. John Mcdowell. Prof. A. I.
Robinson, Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus. and
Bishop A. S. Lloyd. with Rev. Charles
Brown, Of London.

start on a tour which will take in twen-
" conferences. Last year he made a
trip to Constantinople and the near East
which brought about important results to
the missionary interests there. His plans
for the coming world tour involve the
strategy and vision OF a real general
and sem likely to prove the most note
worthy and influential OF the eight or
ten world tours which he has already
made.
He will include in his itinerary mis-
sion stations in Northern Africa, Asia
Minor, India. Siam, Japan. Korea. and
the Pacific Islands. He will return to
the United States about May l.
Dr. Mott will be accompanied by sew
eral experts. some of them enthusiasts
in the spread of the work. and laymen
who are going to look into the business
aspects of this world problem. He will
meet not only the missionaries in the
field, but will also find out what the ma
tive Christians think of the achievements
already made and the prospects for the
future in their respective fields. 4 re-
port in detail will be made to all mis-
sicnary societies which are contributing
workers and money. The result aimed
at in the survey will be an investigation
along modern efficiency lines Of all this
work.
Chatting about his coming visit while
waiting to see the President AT the White
House the other day, DIR. Mott outlined
its main features. Immediately following
the first meeting of the continuation COM
mittee in this country he will go to Cey-
Ion. India. and then move on to China
and Japan. Representing the combined
forces of Professionalism he will ask in ad-
vance missionaries in every country he
visits to met him in conference for sew
eral days in duration. Twenty different
areas of Asia have been selected at each
of which in some accessible point fifty
men ami women connected with all forms
of missionary activity will come together
for a free expression Of orinion upon
leading questions or policy and admin
istration.

IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD
GIVING THE VOLUNTEER
SOMETHING TO DO

At the recent employed officers confer
ence OF Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion secretaries at Silver Bay one Of the
commissions reported on the place Of the
volunteer worker in the association. IL
was by all odds the most discerning and
important contribution to the conference
so far as its commissions were con-
cerned. and not the least of its value
consisted In the specific suggestions
made as to the answer to the problem.
Among other things. this advice was
given to secretaries who want to enlarge
their volunteer force and make 1t effec-
tive:
"Enlarging the place and power Of the
volunteer Is a function Of the employed
officer II in the past he has uninten-
tionally displace the volunteer. 1t is ap-
rropriate that he should make amends
for the future, and there are signs that
this is beginning. Note. for example.
what is beng done in boys work by the
nonequipment plan and the new stress
upon service by boys. The country de-
partment is fighting a hard but winning
battle to magnify the volunteer leader in
the rural world. The student depart
ment is tying the college graduate 10

dustrial service movement Is enIsting
engineering and other students by the
hundreds to do a work and get a train
ing that is invaluable, and in the city
and town associations new impulse to-
ward extension work with volunteer
service is clearly seen. We should ap-
pIaud this trend and the men who are
leading II.
The employed officers rules Of action
might we'll include the following:
Remember
That the successful association is
layman's organization.
That the paid officer shall be the au-
thor not the finisher. of the volunteer.
That there is an influence exerted by
volunteer work which does not attach 10
paid or professional work.
That the great test OF the paid officer's
efficiency Is the question by whom rath-
er than what and how much"
That most fields offer opportunity for
the necessary diversity in service.
That an institute for training the work
er is desirable: but TO institute work for
training is more practicable.
Try To
Get the worker early-as boy II pos
sible.
Use the average mamie is the majority.
Give the busy man chance-he needs
the work.
Match the work to the worker.
Make II appeal.
Give him a choice OF lines of service.
Show him how TO do it-teI him after

Give the work a time limit-avoid end
less jobs.
Trust the worker.
Give him authority with responsibility.
Give him credit for work done.

agencies operating on the field, some Of
which have as yet hardly been brought
into line with the movement started in
Edinburgh. Besides this he will in each
country spend what he terms a ''dispro-

certain persons whose information and
suggestions he believes will he OF special
worth to him. And as II this We're not

Gently been in personal conference with
all the leading missionary boards on the
continent and in Great Britain. and is
now taking pains to relate himself in

them for aid in selecting the fifty picked

Consolidating Rural Churches.

The movement for the Constellation of
country churches seems TO have gained
great force in Kansas. \ correspondent
Of the Chicago Tribune writes of the
situation in a hopeful mood. He de-
scribes the hundreds of already aban-

not at all interpret as a dsCadenc- Of

life has grown and people are demand
ing better service than the divided lead

able to afford. The movement for con-
sGlidation and efficiency is under the
leadership of President II. J. Waters, OF
the Kansas Agricultural College. and eN-
Gov E. w Hoch. President Waters
said the other day:
The reason for tn" failure Of 50 many
country churches is competition and
prosperity People who are prosperous
are Just as religious as any other. but
they make a demand for the better ex-
rounding of their beliefs. There are
perhaps a thousand Kansas churches

given up every year. This is II should

most of them flourished. But not for
