Christ, Lutherans, gregatiOnalists,
Baptists and Reformed Church work
ers have been foremost in recognizing
the need Of Christian influence among
foreign born people and their children
and the recent general convention OF
the Episcopal church resolved that the
Board of missions include hereafter
in its aggressive program Christian
work among resident foreigners and
their children in the United states ana
that such work be given the appro-
val, cooperation and assistance Of the
church at large" The week in ques-
ton will be one Of service, inspiration
and education in the individual
churches throughout the land. Many
churches will begin some specific ser
vice to the foreigner at their own
door, while all will receive inspiration
and education through special ser
mons, meetings and text books pro-
Vided by their mission boards.
The organizing of foreign churches
in our land, has been going on for
most Christian bodies. These cOngre-
cations are generally under the lead
ership of men and women of the same
race as the people which they serve.
The Hungarian and Bohemian Re
formed churches are numerous, and
the work Of the Rev. J. Mori, in es-
tablishing the first Japanese Re
formed congregation in America in
San Francisco, is famous. There are
French and italian Episcopal churches
tourishing in New York City. The
foreign Sped king presbyterian cnuTcn-
es contribute annually toward their
own support $4,000.
The single religious body within
continental United States having the
largest number of foreign speaking
people within their churches is the
Roman Catholic, and close to it is the
Lutheran Somewhat more than 5000
churches have public worship in
tongues other than English, and they
have 100000 members. of the Pro-
testant bodies doing most are the Bap-
list, congregational, Presbyterian and
Methodist, but no fewer than 40 or
gained societies are doing something
There are almost 5000 missionaries
who give their time to immigrant re-
uglous welfare, and societies which
support them spend on such support
and for religious work for them in
All phases S2.50O,000 Lutherans alone
nave 100 missionaries, and spend
SzSO,OOO a year. MethOdiSts have fewer
missionaries but eXpend more money.
Almost half of the communities
wherein the Presbyterians are at work
are farming ones in the southwest. .
Ihese are located in five states Of
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Califor-
and Colorado Pres byterian mis-
sion boards are spending $4,000 a
year on strictly spiritual work and
$1,000 on school work Their work in

There are 1900, 600 Inhabitants in

Until IA years ago the doors of this
island were closed except to Spain and
the Roman Catholic church. But the
door was opened in 1898, when the
island passed into the hands of the
United States government.
This seems to be the day of OppOr-
tunity for the evanSeliZatfOn of Porto
Rico and for the educational, social,
moral and religious transformation Of
the peiple of that interesting island
The United States government is do
ing much to develop the natural re-
sources of the island, and to uplift
and educate the people in the elements
if American citizenship. Her splendid
school system, including the Universe
ty of Porto Rico, besides schools Of
domestic science, agriculture, manual
training, in addition to the all import
ant and excellent work Of the Chris
tian missionaries, are working Won
ders.
There are 179 evangelical pastors on
the island, $50 assistants; 1S6 church
organizations; 2S0 Bible schools, with
1919 scholars; 1872 church houses and
chapels, with 1883 members in full
communion. The value of the church

CONGREGATTONALIsF CHURCH
ADOPTS A SIMPLE CREF

ADOE4S a SLME4LE1 GREED
Congregauonalists have just wholly
remade their polity for federative work,
nave adopted a new creed, and entered
upon an era of united effort such as
was only dreamed of by early Puritans.
The national council, just in session in
Kansas City, did these things. The
council is changed from a triennial
body TO a biennial one, and delegates
TO II have become the voting members
Of the benevolent societies. Thus Con-
troll their own salary work.
These and other radical changes
were brought about by a vote of $50
10 !, it happening that one lone pill
grim insisted upon voting in the mega
tive and prevented the action from be-
ing unanimous. The creed adopted, a
simple one eXalting Christ and leav-
ing all else to individual judgment
and opinion, has already been praised
by labor organizations and leaders, and
some Of the latter have announced
their full acceptance of il. These
changes mean tremendous strides to-
ward Capitalization in general work,
but these steps, new to the pilgrim
mind, were secured by a promise that
the liberties Of the individual church
are not to be interfered with.
Involved in the plan is administra-
ton Of the American board, the Oldest
OF American missionary societies and
one of the greatest of American mis-
sIonarE and congregational home So
cieties, of education and all other be-
nevolences. There is created a mis-
siOnaTy commission, which will have
voice IN making missionary appor-
There is also created a So
cial service commission, and while
this is not yet on the basis of other
organizations, it is regarded as only
a question of short time when il will
be Thus unity is secured within the
denomination; a cause for which many
congregational leaders have spent a
good part of their lives.
A still more radical step, so reck-
oned by many, is the election of a ma
tional council secretary Like the 9TH
er innovations, this one was accom-
plished by unanimity, even with en-
thusiasm- The new secretary is the

WE have here suggested the three
w fold aspect of mans spiritual
condition, past, present and fu-
ture or Gods original purpose for
man, mans present condition in sin,
mans future state through faith in
Jesus Christ.
It was undoubtedly Gods original
purpose that his people should be pure
and holy, for he says, Il had planted
thee a noble vine. wholly a right
seed" We are not concerned with the
problem as to why God permitted sin
It is here, and we are concerned only
with the problem how to get rid of
It It seems evident that God original
" intended that man should be free
from sin, for We read that God said,
let US make man in our likeness so
God created man in his own image"
God made man upright" And God
does not change. As 1t was his original
purpose that man should be like him IN
knowledge, Righteousness and holiness,
so it is today. We have been planted
right seeds" and it is therefore Gods
intention that we should develop into
noble vines"
This is evident from the fact that
we have been brought into the world
through a Christian ancestry.
It is also true from the fact that
Christian influences have surrounded
US all our lives and are still always
pressing the claims of religion upon
US.
But sin BIights Our Lives.
But sin has come in, as the vile and
lOathsOme enemies which attack the
grape vine, and has blighted and des-
troyed our lives, so that we have be-
come as the degenerate plant of a
strange vine" unto God
We learn many important lessons
from the analogies of nature. The
phenomenon of degeneration is con-
spicuous to every careful observer.

CATHOLICS TAKE PROMINENT
PART IN ITALY'S ELECTION

PART IN ITALf'S ELECTIONS
Not before the papaI states came to
/ an end. and the pope of Rome became
/ the prisoner of the Vatican" have
| Italian Catholics been permitted by
their church to vote at parliamentary or
/ municipal elections. This fall the
/ vatican for the first time admitted as
much recognition Of the changed ltal-
ian government as is involved N Cath
olics voting. Two results are the de-
! feat of the former Catholic priest,
ROmolo Murio, long prominent in the
Italian parliament and bitter against
the church. and the indirect defeat OF
mayor Nathan of Rome, both events
long desired by the vatican. The
resignation Of mayor Nathan of Rome
IS indirect because the permission OF
the vatican to Catholics to vote did not
extend to the city of Rome itself.
1t Is said that the changed attitude
of the vatican came because Of the
churchs supreme desire to secure once
more religious instruction in the public
schools and to prevent any legislation
tending to establish the legality OF
divorce in Italy. The vatican did not
hope, at its first attempt, to secure
working majority in the italian parlia-
ment, but il did expect to form the
nucleus of a Catholic parliamentary
party that may obtain control later on,
and bring about the defeat of several
Objectionable members OF parliament
beyond the former priest MuTiO. In both
of these aims the vatican seems TO
have succeeded.
Through their bishops all Catholics
elected to the Italian parliament have
pledged in writing that on all ques-
tons they will vote as directed by the
SupT~me Catholic electoral unions,
which means the vatican. Thus it IS
the bishops and the clergy who in all
districts are hereafter to act as cleo
toral agents of the church. Elections
on almost similar lines have Just taken
place in France, with almost the same
results as in Italy.

HEBREW ORGANIZATIONS
ORGANIZE GENER COI-NCIl

There has just been formed a general
council of Hebrew men and women or
CARNATIONS, designed to encourage the
starting of such organizations, and the
fostering of such as are already started.
A fund of s12,500 a year for five years
has been subscribed to carry on pro-
paganda work. Supporters of this fund
and this work are the nearly 500 exist
ing organizations. These are scattered
in the principal cities from New Or
leans and Denver to Providence and
Boston, with strong centers in St.
Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg and head
quarters of all in New York. Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia are
also represented.
The lines on which the council will
work are cimilar to those of the Y. NJ.
c. a. and the Y. ". c. A, and include
the Young Mems Hebrew, the Educa-
tional Alliances, and the Hebrew Insti-
tutes. The council proposes to include
rather more forms than do the Christ
ian associations, and it goes a step
farther than they in providing for
board of experts. These experts are
separate from the executives of the
council, and their work consists in
stUding methods followed by other
bodies, sizing up results, and making
models for the Hebrew Institutions 10
pattern after. This latter feature is
wholly new in Uplift lines.

Transfers From a Machine.

A marked departure IN the method
of issuing transfers has been made
possible by a new transfer issuing and
recording machine. This machine
prints. records and issues transfers to
passengers on street cars. The print
ing and recording mechanism includes
elements which will print time to the
minute, a directional indication, date,
lines to and from which transfers are
issued. the number OF the machine,
the number Of each transfer, the com.
pany rules and regulations and rec
ord of all transfers issued. 1t is be-
lieved that this device will materially
decrease the time OF issuing transfers
at crowded transfer points, reduce
misuse of transfers by passengers and
prevent waste OF transfers through
improper punching. Electric Railway
