increasing the means of reaching anG
helping the immigrants. A demonstrate
of the success with hich the efforts OF
the Congregational immigrant work has
already been met with was the organ
zation of the Congregational Slavic Union
made in Cleveland last month at a gath
ering in which over forty mission
churches were represented. The repre-
sentatives came from widely separate
fields. some from rural districts in V.r-
ginia and others from congested city
sections.

Gluvua, distinguished for their devotional
zeal, represented the workers In the stee
districts around Pittsburgh. The repre-
sentative of the Congregational Home
Missionary Society at Ellis Island was in
attendance. Among the matters dis
cussed was the publication of undenomi-
national religious newspapers in severa
languages, as 1t is difficult for non-Eng-

being done by their brethren in other
parts of the country. feature OF the
Immigrant work of the Congregations
lists is the Schauffler Training School, in
Cleveland, in which foreign-born girls
are being trained for social missionary
worn among people of Their own races.
Another novel religious effort put forth
by the Congregational Church, chiefly
for the benefit of the foreign-born citi-
zens, Is the religious work which was
carried on throughout the season at
Coney Island. as a part of the mission
work of the Brooklyn churches. Few
persons would think of Americas great

inspiration, yet it has been made such to
thousands of people. Over 5000 were IN

MODERN NEWSPAPERS PRAISED

Madison, Wis, Dee. 3.-Publishsrs Of
newspapers and reporters in particular
are elated because a professor of jour
nalism has declared that American
newspapers surpass every other pub
lieation. This great praise came from
Professor F. w. Beckman, of the de
partment of journalism of Iowa State
College, in addressing professors of
eighteen colleges and universities at
the American conference of teachers
of journalism which met here last
week.
Newspaper Style Best.
Professor Beekman said that 1.-THE
newspaper style, which is becoming
more and more essential in the equip
ment of every successful writer, is the
cleanest, most complete and most in.
teresting style in which things can
be written.
FThe news sense, the ability to see
what is new and its new meaning to
the great mass of humanity is neees-
sary to men in every field of endeavOr,
but especially to men who write"
Quickest, Clearest Way Possible.
"It is the news sense which ena-
bles the writer to see through a mass
of non-essentials to the essential,
through dead rubbish to living facts,
through husks and shells to the ker-
nels of truth.
"With all its faults I believe in the
news style as a most efficient style Of
this modern day for presenting infOr-
nation through the written word. 1t
has been hammered out in the heat
and stress of newspaper work to meet
the demands of the millions for some
thing to compel their attention, in
terest them and give them information
in the quickest, clearest way possible.
Energy and Life in Stories.
"The news writer comes fresh from
the things of which he writes and puts
the energy and life, or, it may be, the
Joy and sorrow of what he has just
seen or heard into the living, breath |
ing words of his story.
"There is a vital, living quality in
news writing that demands attention
and grips interest.
"The demand of editors and pub
fishers everywhere is for matter writ
ten in the same clear, concise, inter
esting way that has made the Ameri-
can newspaper the most readable pub
lication printed either now or in any

Last Sunday was Woman's Day and
the services were in charge of the

ary Society. In spite of the inclement

tended, and as usual the women dem
onstrated their ability to do success

morning. At the afternoon service DR..
j. 7. Jenifer, Historian of the A. NJ.
E. church, delivered an eloquent and
instructive sermon. In the evening the
congregation was favored by an ad-
dress from Miss Edith N. Bell, of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Miss Bell
talked earnestly and Interestingly upon
conditions among the natives in At
rica, more particularly in Rhodesia,
where Miss Bell, although a young and
charming woman, has spent already
four years of her life in missionary
work among the Africans. Those who
failed to hear Miss Bell lost an excel
lent opportunity to learn much about
the true power of real Christianity and
to learn not only of the dense igno-
rance and superstition of the Afri-
cans, but also of their eagerness to
know of Christ, their fidelity to the
new and better religion, and their
great desire to acquire knowledge.
Miss Bell testified also to the readi-
ness with which the native African
assimilates knowledge.

ly complained because the seals did
not come in sheets larger than 100.
He had prepared Christmas package

the idea that he would wrap it entire

ent was bulky, the sheets of 100 were
not sufficient. He solved his prob

This summer he constructed num-
