IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD

dinai Farley, and the movement approved
for American Catholics. The plan began
In Belgium twelve TO ffteon years ago.
Catholic clergy have always made annual
retreats, but this Is a new plan for In
ducing laymen to make therl. The Mount
Manresa plan Is for week ends, and many
Catholic laymen OF New York and vicin-
ity are attending.
II Is said that other houses OF retreat
viii be founded by Catholic laymen IN
and near other large centers Of popula-
tion.
A part Of the House Of Retreats plan
Is the training Of the laymen who make
the retreats to conduct classes during
the winter to give instruction in social
questions. Incidentally. Socialism itself
Is TO be fought in these classes. Cath
olics Of other cities win be invited to
New York 10 study methods and make
the movement national
The '1si2 number" of St. Joseph's
grand annual excursions will be given
to Chesapeake Beach on Tuesday, July 2
The excursions given by st. Joseph's
parish are occasions Of great family
gatherings. and reunions Of old acquaint-
ances, and they are looked forward to
by Catholics throughout the city.
The church year Just closing has been
q remarkable one in Washington Cath
oIlo circles. New and powerful societies
have been established. stirring missions
and retreats have aroused religious spir-
IL, and public moral crusades have
brought the Catholic church into big
civic activities.
Probably no work OF Catholic mis-
Sionary zeal has been more productive
Of good for souls than that OF Rev. Ig-
natius FeRly among the Italians Of the
Capital City Father Fealy is looking
after both the religious and temporal
welfare Of many Italian boys and young
men whose faith would be lost without
his special care. In one OF his last pub
lie utterances in America, Cardinal Fall
COMO took occasion to laud in highest
terms the work being conducted by the
young curate OF st. Joseph's. and the
present Apostolic Delegate Mgr. Bon
zano, has also commended his zeal for
the young Italians. This particular work
has never been assigned TO St. Joseph's
parish. but was Voluntarily taken up by
Father Fesly. with the approval OF the
pastor Of ST. Joseph's.

The work Of the department OF church
and country life in the Presbyterian
Church is to be greatly enriched by the
addition 10 its stan OF Rev. Matthew b.
McNutt, for twelve years pastor at Du
Page. Ill. He already has acquired a
national reputation. For two years he
has been speaking almost constantly by
the generous consent OF his people for
universities. colleges. churches. and the
many associations studying country life
and country institutions. During the
coming year Mr.. McNutt. with his head
quarters in New York, will be almost
constantly in the field following up the
surveys made in the department and
meeting requests for addresses. confer
ences. and discussions on this topic. In
addition he will write for the press in
response to n demand far beyond the re-
sources OF the department to satisfy.
Much interest has been awakened in
the coming to New York Of Rev. Jona-
than c. Day to succeed Rev. Charles
Sickle. Mr.. Day leaves a Presbyterian
church OF over loo members, and from
the common point Of view. a delightful
field OF labor. to grapple with some OF
the hardest problems Christianity has
yet faced. To be sure, Mr. Sickle and
Mr.. Vaughn have carried the Temple
beyond the point OF experiment and
have made It a remarkable success. 1t
seems 10 have been most successful in
awakening a real and hearty religious
response from the crowds. How much
Of this response has been due 10 the
personality Of Ar. Sickle time will tell.
But Mr.. Days success during the FIRST
few weeks OF his pastoate seems to
augur greater things than ever. He
breaches 10 a big crowd half Jews. quar-
ter Socialists, the other quarter atheists,
Roman Catholics, and everything. With
in a square mile, the territory Mr.. Day
calls his parish. there are 10000 people;
not one in 100 OF these people worry
much about church. Socialism is ram
pant but so is vice. drinking gambling.
and low vaudeville.
That was a charming good-by which
was said to DR.. Wood yesterday hy a
OF his clergy and laymen friends
in Washington, with B. H. Warner as
host at luncheon. DR.. Wood will leave
next week in company with Mrs. Wood.
for jamestown. r. l.. and later in the
month they will sail for Europe. spend
ing most OF the months OF August and
September in Germany.
II is announced that the assistant min
lister Of the Church OF the Covenant,
Rev. Bernard G. Braskamp. will be in
charge OF the services during the ab-
sence OF DR.. Wood.
