MEN TOO BUSY TO
 TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Not dent was made in the civic conscience of New York" by the Men and Religion Forward Move ment. according to one speech de- trered this week to the United Pres brerian Ministerial Association.
 Yet ringing story of honest work for better living was presented al that convention. A struggle with ihe boy problem at Kansas City, better housing at Dallas, homeless men at Des Moines, rhe loan sharks in Maine, regulating moving pictures al Grand Rapids-these are few sample incidents of this "going after souls on a business basis"
 Why are the men of New York and other cities so indifferent to such human appeal? The speaker before the Ministerial Association called i, money madness"
 Any one who is carrying the re- 'ponsibility for any kind of religious or civic work must be impressed with the enormous difficulty of get tng men to serve on committees, or sacrice any of the sacred moments lhai are the property of St. Mammon. Formerly men used to teach in Sunday schools The older church men all have big gilt-edged leather covered pulpit Bibles given them in recognition of patient honest work m Bible study and friendly tutor Snip in good living.
