The periodical. found American gifts

100000 more than the previous year
The additional data is arrived at by
including gifts for famine relief for

PROTESTANTs PLAN TO
STRENGTHEN HEADQUARTER!

An outcome of recent meetings Of
home mission societies and federal
council Of churches is the decision to
enlarge and strengthen HEADQUARTERS
IN Washington. The presence at the
national capital of a growing number
Of Roman Catholic bureaus is not it
is declared, the motive for this deci-
sion. There constantly arise, it Is
claimed, legal and semi-political mat
ters IN which the churches have vital
interest, often wherein negotiations
have need to be carried on, to the end
that Protestant interests may be cared
for. Some of these relate to the secur-
ing of uniform laws on marriage and
divorce others relate to indian edu-
cation, negro education and the agita-
ton for one days rest in seven for
wOrl1ingmen.
Another outcome of the same meet
inSS is the much larger recognition
of the missionary education movement.
This movement was started as a for
eign mission propaganda, but it is now
fully opened out into a home as well
as foreign agency, and it has been
decided to put into its hands the de-
tails of the home mission work, which
is to be made an annual affair, held
on the week before Thanksgiving week.
The movement is primarily to publish
text books and promote mission study,
but it has of late developed into a COM
mon agency Of all missionary sOcie-
ties, home and foreign. Its growth is
one of the striking features Of the last
few years.
Still another outcome of these recent
meetings seems to have been the limit

America Shows Greater Gain in Foreign Mis-
sion Gifts Than Any Other Nation

as II IS locally known, the Old North

for 1t, IN the details Of the repairing
and restoration OF this famous edifice.
John Revere, OF Boston, for years the
head Of the Revere Copper company,
now dead 20 years or So was a direct
descendant of odd Paul" as the family
always referred 10 the rider made IA
nous in LOngfellOw's verses. John
Revere was quite loyal to family pride,
but he always maintained that there
was much more of LOngfelloW than Of
Revere IN the ride He aVerred, with
much frankness, that what credit to
fame there was in the incident be-
lOnged to q confederate Of Paul now
quite unknown, who dared a trip in a
very small boat under the gUnWales
of a British frigate lying in the Charles
river, gained the information about
British plans for next day and went
10 the Old North church and displayed
the lanterns
According TO the same Revere. the
reason that Old Paul made the arrange
menE and himself got over the river
IN order to start On the ride, was that
the British had captured all of the
boats and there were not as now spa
ciOus bridges About the only boat the
British had not found and appropriated
was the one that Paul gave TO his con
federate- In dividing up the task Paul
took the easier one himself and gave
his friend the risky ore Of playing spy
and OF hanging up the lanterns in
Christ church steeple.
John Revere, II is known, talked with
Mr.. LongfellOW about the inaccuracy
Of his poem Of Revere and his alleged
ride, and reported the poet to have said
that he cared not at all about the &C
curacy Of it He was writing poetry,
not history, and that in that, as IN
other poems based partly on historic
incidents he had not tried to be faith
ful to fact John Revere allowed that
Old Paul got only part way on his
trip when British soldiers captured
him, and that the complete story Ct
the ride, its finish as well as its be-
was filled out by Mr.. Long
fellow. Old Christ church, or the Old
North church, is in a district sur
rounded by foreign speaking people |
almost wholly, and its membership IS |
hardly more than 50. Repaired and re- !
stored, it is to be put TO larger use
if possible.

EW TYPE OF lIINIsTED

NEW TYPE OF MINISTED
IS TURNED OUT BY YALE
Rev. Andrew Leitch, a Yale divinity
student, stands alone as a new type
OF minister He has just been ordained
at service, held in New Haven and
ordained merely Christian. On the ex-
animation he was asked if he believed
Jesus Christ TO be Lord and Savior, if
he accepted the Bible as the word Of
God. and if he would pledge to preach
Christ and the gospel as contained in
the scriptures He gave the pledge, but
unlike all other men ordained to the
ministry, he gave no pledge of loyalty
to the doctrines and authority of any
organized church.
He was then ordained by Rev. DIT.
Charles r. Brown, dean OF the Yale
school and a OngregatiOnalist, and
Rev. DR.. Peter Ainslie Of Baltimore,
former president of the general con-
Vention Of the Disciples of Christ and
now chairman of that body's commits
sion on Christian unity 1t is admitted
that 10 or 20 years ago a minister of
these bodies, taking part in such a ser
vice, would bring scandal and contco-
Yersy. Now it is stated that none will
follow. At least that much progress
toward unity has been made. The new
minister, of a new type, will continue
