Many Church Workers Over the coun-
try Attracted by success Of tho
Plan Instituted
Here.
CALLED JUNIOR CHURCH
Efficiency Department Established to
Find Out the Weak Places
in the oreani-
cation.

The First christian church lead
ers worked out scheme of organiza-
ton during the recent contest between
the Christian and Baptist Sunday
schools which Is attracting much at
tention Of church leaders all over the
country. The credit for the idea be-
longs to Superintendent J. 0. Boyd
and the teachers of the Sunday school
and church leaders co-operated in
making it an extraordinary success.
When the contest was begun 1t was
decided to put the church on
business basis and exact
of the teachers and pupils loyal SER
vices. To this end an efficiency or
ganization with F. F. Vaughn in
charge was instituted 1t became his
duty to make study of weak
places and Point out ways OF strength
ening them. Business men were
placed at the head of the financial
and enrolment departments and sta
tistics We're kept which proved to be
valuable in building up an organiza-
ton.
The Junior Church.
1t was also decided to attempt to
provide in the church organ
ization place for the children
instead OF allowing them to be thrown
in with adults during the regular
preaching services. To this end the
junior church was organized To Mrs.
f.. L. Aldrich and Mrs. A. e. Nc
Pherson belongs much credit for the
instituting of this department.
The Sunday school and church SER
vices were made one during the morn
ing. cutting down the usual time from
two hours and forty-five minutes to
an hour and forty-fiye minutes. While
the sermon was being preached in
the auditorium the junior church SER
vices were held in the basement The
older members of the junior church
j are taught to preside, arrange pro-
grams and act as officers in this
organization. All the members are
directed and assisted in making calls.
visiting absentees and sending flowers
where they will be appreciated
Range Of Activities.
Their range OF activities also covers
various forms of handwork, such as
the making of scrap books for distri-
button among the needy, study OF
religious pictures and mission work,
and songs strictly appropriate, includ-
ing motion songs and other means OF
giving the children an opportunity for
activity under proper direction.
The result is that the leaders be
lieve the children have greater APP.
rreciation of religious and spiritual
things and that they get religious
training which no child can get in a
congregation of adults. Putting church
work in form that will appeal to
child minds is an aid of the idea.
The plan worked with great success
during the contest and its develop
ment will be watched with interest not
only by church workers in this city
but all over the country

ported by leading Rsencies did not help
the copper stocks and they were equally
depressed. The break below b6 IN Steel

NO HOPE TO SAVE MINERS
Efforts Being Made TO Subduc Fire
Believed That EntOmbcd Men are
Dead.

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 15.-All hope
Of rescuing more of the miners en-
tOmbed i'm the Universal colliery,
where an explosion occurred yester-
day. virtually has been abandoned
The report that party of 20 men
had been found alive in one Of the
galleries has proved erroneous, but
a large number of dead bodies were
found today
No official reports have been is,
sued. and this has caused much com.
ment. Fire this afternoon broke out
anew and still is raging. There are
no further signs of life in the pit.
Up to a late hour tonight 40 bodies
lad been recovered, while 3GS
miners still were entombed. Ti"
shift which went into the mine yes
terday numbered 931.
The engineers have decided to de-
vote their efforts to subduing the fire
as they believe 1t useless to cotinue
rescue work.

prominent in the party councils. men
who advocated loyalty to the policies
and principles to which the party had
adhered throughout it's existence.
There has been no suggestion that
an attempt was to be made to revive
the greenback or to adopt in legisla-
ton rejected theories of the Populist
party. The Democratic candidate for
the presidency was silent upon the
subject during the last campaign and
he has not, so far as | am aware, up
to this time publicly expressed his ap-
proval of Mr.. Bryans ideas with ref
erence to note issue. The large major
ity of the American people who favor
sound money believed that the ques-
ton of further greenback issues was
settled permanently by the elections
Of 1896 and the following years."

Declares the Bill UnsOund, EmbOdying
Theories of w. j. Bryan, Repeated
ly Condemned at Polls - Promises
to Pay POpulistic Doctrine, He
Says.

New York, Oct. 15.-Former Sem
ator Nelson w. Aldrich Of Rhode
Island tonight attacked the Wilson
administration currency bill now be-
fore congress, which he declared en-
bodied the theories of William J.
Bryan. He denounced the bill as un-
sound, SOcialistic and revolt tionary,
characterizing it as IAN endeavor to
secure by partizan legislation the
triumph of the doctrines and princi-
Piles which had received the repeated
condemnation Of the American people
at the polls" He quoted from. Wood
row Wilson's writing to indicate that
the president, in his earlier days, had
entertained beliefs contrary to pro-
visions of the bill.
IF the house bill should be enacted
into a law" Mr.. Aldrich asserted, "NIr.
Bryan will have achieved the purpose
for which he has been contending for
a decade"
Mr.. Aldrich's speech was delivered
at the 'osing session of the National
Conference on Currency Reform. He
made no reference to the socalled Aid
rich plan for currency reform. He op-
posed many features of the Glass
Owen currency bill, but directed his
