SUNDAY SCHOOL LEADER
URGES PREsEET-DAY METHODS

At Wednesday nights session Of the
Conference on the Boy and the Home at
the Y.sM c. "A. "The Boy. the Home.
and the Church" was the subject dis
cussed by r. w. Pullman. layman Of
the Church Of the Reformation. The
speaker made a plea for scientific man
agement In the churches. for better
church equipment, and increased EFF
ficiency in all lines OF boys and mems
welfare work.
There Is close relation between eff
attendance by men and boys which
many church workers do not under
stand" said Mr.. Pullman. successfully
managed institutions are always the
most popular, and II :, will always be
found that an ably run church or sun
day school win attract men and boys
for the same reasons that an ably con-
Quoted business house attracts trade:
This is the age of going concerns and
modern methods in ali lines OF endeayor,
and church success depends on eff1cient,
service, proper equipment and proper
recognition OF the spiritual and Social
needs of the community.

SOCIAL SERVICE COMMISSIONS
PUSHED BY METH0DISTs

The Methodist Federation for Social
Service, since it was adopted as the Of
fetal agency of the denomination, has
secured the full time of Rev. Harry F.
Ward as secretary. To his editorial serv-
ice of the federation he thus adds all
the executive functions of the new Of
fee, which is established at ISL Park
Place. Evanston, III. Two State secre-
taries have also been appointed, the Rev.
z. Guy Talbot for California, and the
Rev. o. H. McGill for Washington.
Social service commissions are being
appointed by the annual conferences to
inquire concerning the extent OF seven
day work. An anthracite social service
mission has been organized in Pennsyl-
vania. Pittsburg Methodist preachers
have conducted a social service forum
for the discussion Of municipal AFFAIRS
One of the federation's men has been
appointed assistant to Judge Lindsay in
the Juvenile Court Of Denver, and an
other has entered the service of-the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's So
Geological department. Meetings under
the Joint auspices of local labor unions
and Methodist ministerial associations
are being successfully maintained at
Elkhart, Muncie, and Terre Haute, Ind.
The basis of settlement that ended the
corset makers strike IN kalamazoo,
Mich, was drawn up by the superinten-
dent OF the Kalamazoo district, who by
request OF the mayor acted as mediator.
"AlI such local movements will gain
information" says Secretary Ward,
from the federation's publication and
information bureau. inspiration from its
suggestions for social evangelism, and
initiative and constructive criticism from
the working plans to be issued for the
purpose OF directing and testing the work
Of each local church"
Bishop W. S. Lewis, Of the Methodist
Church South, just back from China,
declares the Panama Canal is wholly to
change the relations long existing be-
tween China and the United States. He
reports that interior China possesses rich
gold fields. More valuable, but less like
ly to create excitement, is coal field OF
5000 square miles, capable of producing
coal sufficient to last the world a thou
sand years The Panama Canal will
supply China with things she needs and
this country has to sell in exchange for
what China has to sell. The result Will
be a mutual profit.
Methodism is doing its part, Bishop
Lewis reports, to make in China Chris
tian civilization. He believes the Protest
ant type, not divided as here, but united,
is to be the dominant one A reason why
he thinks it will is the emphasis now
being laid upon education. The colleges
that are under Methodist control, those
that are under control Of other American
bodies and to which Americans are CIV
ing money, are the forces that are edu-
eating and changing. Never was 50
great opportunity presented by any peo-
pie to any nation as the Chinese present
to America, and in the bishops Judg-
ment never did a great Improvement like
the Panama Canal open up at more
opportune time.

Rngtime Abroad.

\ From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
On the subject Of the psychology OF
ragtime Conductor Jacobs OF the Troca-
dero Orchestra is quoted as saying:
The outstanding feature OF ragtims
music sheets is syncopation. This means
that they must shove one note UP against
the other, and against the time following
on the weak beat. Syncopation is a med
ical term, which applies TO beating heart
when it skips a beat. II means excite
ment. just as music does. A man playing
ragtime cannot keep still. This music
grips player and audience alike and sets
everybody on the jump. People drop
knives and forks and snap their fingers
as soon as the melody begins. I think
it has an effect on the heart and makes
it alter the beat to the time OF the
music"
One Of London's newspapers speaks OF
ragtime as this new and wonderful mel
ody, which has conquered the great
American republic entirely, which has
spread to the rsmotest villages of the Eu-
ropean continent. and which now Is whist
Jed by London ofice boys and Yorkshire
farm laborers and is established in every
grade of society,"
An English music publisher who says he
Is selling rastime scores by hundreds OF
thousands undertakes the explanation Of
ragtime's popularity. Here is what he
offers:
I'VE live in an age OF rush. Rsgtime
music suits the period. The old song OF
smoking concert. with its slow, gentle
boys chorus, Is finished. Life is too short
for il. English composers have been uu-
able to adapt themselves to changing
conditions, and Americans have stepped in
and done It. The whole busy world is now
humming the new music, which rushes
just as fast as modern. hustling life"
Whether he is right or wrong. he Is In
teresting. Another explanation might be
that the public tires OF monotony, and
welcomes q change. sometimes changing.
for the mere sake of change, from what
seems close to perfection to what by con-
trast looks crude, barbaric. and even
vicious. This rage for change is a law
of life, and is illustrated in architecture
and literature as well as in music IL
is illustrated even in the fashions govern
ing dress.

the Wesleys more than a century ago
did q great work in vitalizing the faith
OF all the churches Of the time, and in
turning the power Of religion to the task

which is bringing the churches into the

With this, there In q lessening OF the

AUTOMOBILE MAN
AND MRS. MORROW
His Admissions at Her Hearing Cause
Some of Her Friends
to Leave.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, Jan. o.-When the pre-
liminary hearing OF Mrs. Rene B. Nor
row, the beautiful young widow Of
Chas. B. Morrow, the inventor,
charged with the murder OF her hus-
band. was resumed before Judge Fake,
the defendant came into court with re-
newed courage and determination to
clear herself the result OF spending
night in her own home.
Judge Fake. at the conclusion of
yesterdays hearing announced that
der bond of 5000. The court was
induced to take this step when Mrs.
Morrow's attorney showed that she
had refused to have her husband 8
body cremated, although he had often
directed that it be SO disposed Of.
This made possible the two postmor-
tenn examinations While the last Of
these led to the conclusion that Nor
row must have been murdered, the
evidence that the police produced is
purely circumstantial and connects
the widow with the crime only through
proof that a few hours before her hus-
bands death, they quarreled violently.
Mrs. F. H. Woods, a roomer in the
Morrow house testified that she heard
the shots that killed Morrow and call.
ed out of her room to Mrs. Morrow.
| There was no answer. but ten minutes
later Mrs. Morrow was calmly brush
| ing her hair in her boudoir.
Harry Gilmore, the automobile
salesman, whom the police followed to
Rock Island, believing him the man
in the case testified that he had
twice visited Mrs. Morrow in her
rooms, while he lodged in the house
and that she had returned both visits
He admitted that their relations had
been improper Many OF Mrs. Nor
rows lodge and club friends who have
been rallying to her support. left the
icourt room during this testimony.
