Membership in the Churches

OEy tional committee of the Y. NJ. c. A.
meets and almost always is called
upon to readjust some important parts OF
association work. 1t had been planned 10
hold the convention of 1913 in Los An
geles. but circumstances there, 1t is said,
made doing SO unwise at this time. and
SO II has Just been decided to hold II IN
Cincinnati The dates are in May, and
the convention represents the associations
OF the United States and Canada.
Associations in most cities have large
memberships that are not active. Inat
Ia. they may not vote in the manage
ment-only those may who belong to some
evangelical church. The question to come
IN at Cincinnati is whether this restrlc-
ton shall be taken off, and if it is not,
what is the meaning of the word "evan-
gelical?'' What churches are evangelical
and what are not?> The chairman Of this
committee is President W.. d. Mackenzie
of the Congregational Seminary at Hart
ford.
Closely bound up with this foregoing
matter is the test Of orthodoxy of pro-
fessors In schools where Y. M T. A. sec
retaries are trained. There has been
complaint that professors in one train
ing school are not orthodox. Judge Sell
den p. Spencer of st. Louis is chairman
of this committee and will report at Gin
cinnati. The impression seems to pre-
vail that the test of membership will be
retained, the word "evangelicaF defined
and that professors in schools not reck-
oned orthodox will either be curbed or
dismissed. Discussion of the matter is
agitating association circles in all quar-

is taken to the polishing department.
where work still more delicate is await
ing it.
In the case of large lenses, polishing
and correction are done on massive ma
chinery installed in a room the tempera-
ture of which must be maintained abso-
lutely constant Such caution Is neces-
sary at this stage that even windows
must not be opened. since a particle OF
dirt from the outside might play havoc
with the bit of glass I'm the workman
hand. 1t must be remembered that he
is now engaged in an operation concerned
with possible errors not greater than the
two hundred thousandth part of an inch.
Coal tar pitch and oxide OF iron are now
placed upon a revolving wheel On tins
the lens is put. The workman holds it
in his hand as indeed he does for most OF
the time in all stages of grinding, and
from time to time he adds quantity or
the mixture mentioned.
When the lens has been polished to the
right degree q rigid test is employed to
determine that every curve is absolutely
true to the radius calculated before the
work was begun. The next step is to CEN
ter the lens upon a machine that renders
the edges OF precisely Uniform thickness.
The glass is still uncompleted. There
follows an operation demanding the ut
most delicacy of manipulation of the sur
faces of the lens in order that each ray
of light shall be brought to one exact
focal point.

HOW LENSES ARE GROUND.
Importance Of Proper Glass, Use Of
Emery, Exclusion Of Dust.
on, IIarpor.a WaaLlr

From Harper's Weekly.
By far the greatest quantity of high
grade optical glass suitable for lenses
made in this country is imported from
Germany and France. This glass comes
to us in pieces a trifle larger than the size
of the lenses to be made. Tile two sur
faces are polished sufficiently to enable
the expert, as he gaxes through the glass,
to see that it has no defects.
1t is very important that before the ac-
tual work Of grinding is begun the rough
blocks shall be examined with the great
est care, since If they contain the slight
est veining or trace OF unequal density
all work upon them will be wasted.
Care must also be taken that the disks
shall be perfectly annealed. The test in
this relation is made by polarized light.
Two kinds of glass are used in the con-
struction of lenses-crown and flint.
Grinding is accomplished on an iron
disk of the proper curve, revolving In
circular trough. which is placed upon
what is termed stump" This accords
the operator perfect freedom of move
ment Powered emery and water are
thrown upon the wheel from time to time.
When the glass under treatment has
been ground to approximately the re-
quired shape it is placed upon another
slowly revolving tool, finer grade of
emery being used From that implement
it proceeds to still another, where 1t re-
mains until very nearly the right size
has been attained and the glass has
gained approximately the required curves.
The last grinding of all Is the most inn
portant and of course calls for the great
est care and skill. The selection Of the
emery plays a very important role in
the stages of grinding. since single
mistake in this selection might vittate the
labors of months and in many cases alb
solutely ruin the glass.
After the timing as the last stage is
called has been accomplished, the lens

Australia and Canada, in which coun-
tries a good many experiments in mill
tant Christianity have recently been
successfully tried out.
The second part of the missionary
plan is the organization of laymen by
cities who shall be charged with mis-
sionary responsibility, not for money
only, but for men: men for mission
fields and for the ministry at home.
When organized and trained. it is
reckoned that these laymen, co-operat-
ing with the ministers, will themselves
do the propaganda work of mission
at homes, and so enable the societies to
bestow all their energies upon work in
the fields. The saving in expanses will
be enormous, it is promised. Already i'm
a few cities considerable progress toward
this new efficiency in missions has been
made.

The social emphasis in the prOphetlcai

White House conference in the interest OF

All this. however is more or less by the
way. The point to be emphasized Is that.
I'm view of the great personal influence
which the actions and character OF the
President always have had-and probably
always will have as long as there is a
hero-worshiper left-it is most fortu-
nate circumstance that every chief ex-
ecutive of this nation. from the very De-
ginning, has been, to some degree al least.

of them have acted according to pro-
found spiritual convictions. Washington s
farewell address Is tinged throughout
with religious feeling; Lincoln was man
or prayer; GarneId was at one TINE al
evangelist. and the list could be extended.
In the last campaign 1t was not at all
unusual to pick up the paper on Mon
day morning and read that all three can
didates had attended church the day be-
