The next day We insisted upon car

told him that if he did not give US pro-

asked to be allowed to do that and a

Guarded by a Jefe.
''Sure enough the crowd gathered ~
front of the church, but we conducted
our service as usual. The jefe and
tary, stationed themselves in a posi-
ton to cover the crowd with their
guns and warned any who crossed the
street toward the entrance they would
be shot During tie service we heard
shots 'bang-bang- bang and thought
the trouble had started for sure. But
II was only one of the policemen shoot
ing at man who had fired his rifle
IN the air to start the mob. We were
not bothered that night, but walked
through the crowd and TO our lodging
place without harm. Later, I met

Immediately. There is a second class,
who give almost as much trouble, who
persist in saying nothing can ever be
accomplished. The report, to be pre-
scented to the public next week, admits
that these two classes make more trouble
than all others together.
A striking thing which the report will
presnt is the open minded positions
taken by Catholic cardinals resident in
America, and bishops and other leaders
resident abroad. The same cordiality
the commission finds among the prelates
of the Russian or the Greek orthodox
eOmmunions. In all cases propositions
have been cordially received, the COM
cissiOn says.
Thirty religious bodies have now
named committees. Besides these many
of the bodies in England have appointed
men. The enormous propaganda that
is going on is seen In the reports state
ment that no fewer than $4,000 leaflets
have been distributed, besides almost as
many more prayer cards and letters to
leaders all over the world. Not a re-
hgious body in Africa, South America,
or the Pacific islands has been left un-
circularized.

II ARLY forecasts of receipts by mis-
II sionary societies closing their
IL books this autumn indicate the
wear to have been quite up to the aver
age. possibly a little ahead of it. Three
of the big boards ending the year, but
not yet able to give out figures, say
they will have no debts. This Is I'M
usual. The Episcop"l board came out a
little more than even by the expedlent
of taking a small sum from the reserve
funds. The American Missionary asso-
citation predicts it Will have an equally
good year, and the Disciples of Christ
Foreign society may run $1,000 ahead
of last year, or a total of $45O,0OO. While
there has been no phenomenal increase,
it is certain the fall closings will show
no slumps. Rather, there will be re-
ported the usual and normal increases
The Disciples Foreign society has re-
ceived a novel proposition from woman
of the far west and has accepted it. 1t
is to build 80 churches in Tibet, on con-
dition that the society shall man and
maintain them. This means that this
almost unknown land, save for mission
ary work done from England, is to have
a vigorous American Missionary campaign.
Just when it is entering upon this novel
and promising work in a wholly new
Asiatic field the secretary of the society
for the past 20 years, Rev. F. NJ. Rains,
retires to take up other work.

CoNGREGATIONALISM MAY
ADOPT A NEW CONSTITUTION


CongTegationalism in America seems
likely to have a new constitution One
has been proposed for consideration at
Kansas CITY next month, when the ma
tional council meets there, and so far
as can be learned it gives satisfaction.
Features of it are a new doctrinal state
ment which follows in the main the
Apostles Greed, but in the last part is
far more amplified- The statement Is
held to be orthodox in every part.
There is proposed a committee that
shall transact the business of the denom
ination between sittings of the council.
This is a step toward Capitalization, it
is admitted. although the same dOcu-
ment distinctly avOws any treading upon
local authority. It Is urged on the score
of efficiency, with somebody always at
the ecclesiastical helm.
Another thing that is new is a COM
mission of missions, which is TO render
more effective, if possible, the work of
the six or seven UNCONVENTIONAL benev-
olences. This number includes the
American board, the oldest of American
missionary societies. and one of the best
known of all. The ultimate aim is said
to be to reduce the number of societies
to three or four. The commission IS to
be empowered with important duties,
such as debating the appointments on
the churches for missions.
Finally, it is proposed to create a
secretary of the council that will have
large advisory powers These are not
as great as were at first set forth, but
they involve a man to give all of his
time, to confer with all societies. to at
tend state meetings. to represent the
denomination at conferences of other re-
hgious bodies, and to make if possible a
more efficient Congregationalism. In its
earlier proposals the committee setting
forth this constitution met much oppo-
sition, but seems now to have devised
plans that give fair satisfaction.

MANY YOUNG LAYMEN TO
HELP MINISTER'S ON SUNDAY

In these later DAYS, when so many
say churches are failing, steadily in
creasing number of lawyers and bank
clerks, artisans and trades people, work
ing hard all of the week, are glad to help
ministers on Sunday. These are not
themselves ministers. and do not wish
they were. Four thousand such men,
chiefly young men, belonging to the
Brotherhood of St Andrew of the Epis-
eopal church, will attend a convention
TO be held in New York, October 2 to 5.
They viii go there from every state.
even from Canada and the West Indies.
The help these young men render 20
ministers is in the direct line of the
ministers preaching the gospel.
and getting men into church member
ship. Brotherhood men number about
$4,000 in the whole country. and their
organization was the pioneer of the
other brOtherhoOds. It started m at
almost the xact time that the Christian
Endeavor and Luther league did.
The New York convention Immediately
precedes the Episcopal general oonven-
ton, and will be attended by MANY con-
vention deputies. 1t viii use the new
Cathedral of st. John the Divine for
one service, and the new st. Thomas
church for another, but almost ali of

The question of whether farm
er should be allowed to take out
permits on more than one space
also precipitated a discussion. Mr..
Moore declared positively that he
thought no farmer should be al
lowed more than one permit until
all farmers who wanted spaces had
secured them.
WHERE TO PUT ITUCKSTERS.
What to do with the hucksters
proved to be another disputed
point. Mr.. Marvel pointed out
that the law assigns them places
along Fourth street between King
and Walnut and Jefferson and
Monroe streets. Mr.. Smith said
this had been changed when the So
called Jersey market was establish
ed along Walnut street. Mr.. Banks
suggested that the hucksters be al
lowed to sell along the streets in-
tersecting King and Madison
streets. Leon Walker offered the
suggestion that one block in King
street be set aside for hucksters ex-
clusively. The farmers objected to
this Oh the ground that King street
is a farmers market primarily.
Mr.. Banks was the only farmer
who thought the hucksters We're a
help to the farmers themselves. He
explained that the hucksters sold
fruit such as peaches, bananas, and
cantaloupes while the farmers did
not raise i'll quantities around the
city, but which the consumers
wanted to purchase when they
came to market. Mr.. Walker also
inclined to the opinion that the con-
snmer needs the huckster conven-
lent to the street markets.
President Marvel thanked the
farmers for their interest in the
meeting. He said he believed the
cleanup committee would honestly
decide what they thought the best
thing to do. Without knowing
what it will do yet, the committee
he said, will proceed without fea1
or favor to do the best for the gen.
eral public.

INVITE CRITICISM.

After Chairman Wright had cx-
planned the purposes Of the meet
ing Mr.. Hamilton made a short
speech inviting the farmers TO be
free with their criticism OF the mar
kcts. He said the farmers them
selves should be acquainted with
the evils that had crept in. After
the farmers had informed the corl-
mittee, he said, it would weigh The
information and call upon the pco-
pie OF Wilmington to remedy the
faulty conditions.
Mr.. Greer said he recalled a SIM
liar meeting two years ago at
which the farmers had made rec
concentrations and were to meet
with City Council. Nothing had
come Of this meeting, he added. Mr..
Wright explained that the present
Chamber Of Commerce is some
thing entirely different and expect
ed to find solution for the market
problem. He said that naturally
his committee could not be expect
ed to do everything asked by the
farmers.
