Helping Unity Plans.

Through its president, Bishop Anderson.
OF Chicago. the Episcopal commission on
a world conference on faith and order
has issued a letter to the eighteen other
commissions thus far appointed. II
states that much. time must elapse be-
fore the conference can actually be CALI

gether even to unite IN issue OF the call
During this time the Episcopal commits
sion thinks much educational work may
be done In the respective bodies. 1t says
that when the commissions meet their
tempers VIII be affected not q little by
the, feeling obtaining at the time In the
bodies they represent. The Episcopal
commission proposes:
That the clergy be urged to preach upon
the subject Of unity that the clergy and
laity engage In q thorough and critical
study OF the distinctive tenets OF faith
and order which are understood to be at
the foundation Of their position. In Or
der that the vital points for which the
particular communion stands, as distinct
from other bodies. may be clearly dis
tingulshed from fits general body Of Chris
tian doctrine; that denominational stand
ards OF doctrine be studied IN their rela-
ton TO current teaching; that the distin-
gushing doctrines OF other communions
be examined with a view to understand
ing their value to those who hold them;
finally. and In order that these or any
methods may be eficacious. that prayer
be made habitually and systematically by
clergy and by laky for the unity of Gods
people and the guidance OF the Holy
Spirit In all effortS to bring about the
world conference

copal Church is now engaged In efforts to
obtain the cooperation OF representative
bodies Of other communions. and IN carry

couraged in It's own labors by the knowl-

Bible in visayan.

"In this year Of grace. 1911. on the 9TH
OF December. at o'clock in the after
noon. we. myt Filipino helper and my
SELF finished the translation OF the Old
Testament into Panayan. The islanders
of Panay. Negros, Guimaras, Romblon.
and nelghboring smaller islands have
now the Bible complete in their tongue"
! These were the words which Rev. Eric
Lund sent to the American Baptist For
eign Mission Society, under whose aus
pices he Is working, to announce the sue
cessful completion OF his task. Since
1905, Mr. Lund has devoted his leisure
to work on this Panayan Old Testament.
Translation work is a great problem in
the Philippines. for there are many races
and many dialects. The NegTitos, ltv-
ing in the northern islands, have many

but the Filipinos use the native dialects
almost exclusively. There are three i'm
portant dialects OF Visayan-Panayan,
Cebuan and Samarenyo. the Panayan be-
ing the one used in the Baptist mission
field
Mr.. Lund Is probably the best linguist
in the Philippine Islands and has no
equal in the marvellous amount OF trans
lating which he has accomplished. His
residence In Spain for over twenty years
gave him opportunities TO know the Span

cumstances introduced him TO the Visa

After the American occupation Of the
Philippines and the consequent opening
of the islands TO educational and evan

opportunity TO take charge Of the work
there for the Baptist Society.
Settling at Iloilo he continued the
translation previously mentioned and
completed It in 1901. Thousands Of copies
were eagerly bought by the Panayans,
who had never before possessed the New
Testament in their own language The
translation OF the New Testament into
the Cebuan dialect Of Visayan was next
successfully completed. Not satisfied with
his labors, he set to work on the Old
Testament, with the result that the Bible
in Panayan is now complete. It Is his
great ambition to add to his two YER
sions Of the New Testament still an
other translation OF II, in Samarenyo, the
dialect used by the people OF Samar and
Leyte, and TO supplement this by a
translation Of the Old Testament.

Greatest Church in the World.

st. Thomas Episcopal Church, New
York, Is believed to have broken all rec
ords in this or any other country during
the past six and one-half years In Au-
gust. 1905. its church, q landmark in
Fifth avenue six blocks south Of the en-
trance to Central Park, burned and there
has followed a long period Of uncertainty.
This uncertainty arose, not over removal
from the field, but over the problem or
a place to work and worship during the
two to four years required to rebuild AT
one time the plan of buying another site.
building temporarily upon II, and later
selling II, was decided upon. Finally
the plan was adopted Of erecting tenn
porary edifice and building the permanent
one around and above II.
Keeping the new church down In size
until its accommodates only 500 out OF a
communicant list Of $780, and cutting on
every possible expense, so great were
the requirements OF the location that
s., 900 was the lowest estimate. Even
then $4,000 worth ot windows and other
enrichments have had to be put over.
and cheaper and temporary ones used for
the present. With temporary church and
no parish room, there have been times
when the congregation had no place to
worship in and organizations none to
work In. In spite OF these handicaps there
has been no falling on but actual growth
in gifts. Communicates have increased
by almost Loo; they increased 80 last
year And since the fire OF 1906 St Thom-
as congregation has given to missions
and charity. altogether beyond its own
limits more than the $4,000 which II Is
putting into its new edifice
Nor is this record all While raising
the large sum for its new church, Il
has broken all records. American and
otherwise. in the amount given 10 others
when compared with that expended upon
its own work and worship With re-
building problems in hand. It gave last
year SES,O 900 for its cwn maintenance. and
exactly six times that amount TO causes
wholly outside itself. Its pew rents last
year amounted to $3.50, AMI o1ertories
on its plates on Sundays to $500 more.
Its gifts to missions outside OF New
York were $4,000, and It's total gifts for
the year sos, 900. Its record Of personal
volunteer work is not less remarkable
than It's money gifts. The number OF its
volunteer young layInen reaches one nun
dred, and its women workers are many
times that number.

The new American Interchurch College
at Nashville has issued a statement show

men and women in the South for social
work in the South. Southerners do not

thorities say that such as do go North
for training return largely untitled for
the task, and out OF sympathy with the
needs and ways OF the South. Especially
are they dissatisfied with the equipment
and opportunities.
The Nashville College argues In its
statement that the South needs trained

fifths OF the expense for equipment and
faculty, and promoting educational ef-
ficiency and Christian fraternity. &
In its department for training negro So

ments, but adds the startling fact that
the economic loss by needless deaths OF
negroes amounts to S51, 100000 a year,
counting each negro at $500 for work

that by sheer neglect Of negro population

800. 900. It was given thirty years ago.
and in the deed was placed the condition
that services should always be conducted
in accordance with the Book OF Common
Prayer and the laws Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
Its former rector dying. the Rev. Guy
L. Wallis. OF Cleveland, came to its rec
torship last year. Against him charges
nave Just been filed with Bishop Greer.

donor OF the property. These charges
enumerate what are claimed to be Illegal
practices, according to the laws OF the
church named. They are among others
that the rector breaches the doctrine Of
