A CAMPAIGN for Laymen

Christian laymen, In practically all re-
ligious bodies, the Roman Catholic. aud
Jewish included. are making plans for
larger personal work during 1918 than ever
before. During 1912 there was formed in
a few cities the Christian union, in effect
the Young Mems Christian union al
though it omits the first two words from
it's name and expresses the hope that II
may never come to be known by initial
letters. While the associations and tfc
new unions are in close sympathy, and
have mapped out many of their plans to-
gether, there is a marked difference be-
tween them The methods of the Chris
tian associations are well known-the
erection OF centrally located buildings, and
the drawing into them. in order to
help them, of men, boys railroad en-
ployes, students and many sorts and con-
ditions of men.
The Christian union, on the other hand
aims to hunt up, train and offer to the
churches young men workers, who are
superintendents of Sunday schools, chair
men of mission committees. heads OF
work for boys, leaders of Bible classes,
and conductors of mission services in sub
urbs of cities. The unions aim is wholly
the strengthening of the churches by pro-
viding them with expert volunteer lay
workers. The plan is to form Christian
Unions in cities, just as associations are
now there. and to have them Include
young workers of all religious bodies. A
definite line of work is annual confer
ences or councils, and laymen's location
society, which latter secured business po-
sitions for trained church workers In or
der that they may be in cities, or parts
OF cities where needed by churches. y
few such unions were formed in 1912 and
during 1918 it is announced that efforts
will be put forth to establish more.

City next October, some OF the most vital
questions they have ever taken up since
Plymouth Rock received its title to fame.
Early plans will be made, of course, for
celebration of the date 1920, but what
renders the Kansas City council of import
ance to Congregationalists is the PROPOSE
ton to remake in many respects their sys-
tern of denomnational control. There
will report an important committee, named
at Boston in 1910, on the readjustment of
relations of the benevolent societies, and
the selection of certain officials, aiming in
way toward far greater Capitalization
than formerly The committee has al
ready made some of its recommendations
public, perhaps all of them, and Congre-
gationalists have been debating them for
months. Some say the new schemes are
dead. others are just as sure they are
much alive The Kansas City council will
be. it Is said, one of the most historic
ever held.
For the first time in many years the
Episcopal general convention, also tri-
enria body, will meet in New York city,
and will use so much of the new Ca
thedral of st. John the Divine as is COM
pleted. New York will have j. Pierpont
Morgan to help it entertain, and 1t ana
Mr.. Morgan are planning social events
ahead of any general convention IN tne
past. A new hall. costing $300,W0, is build
ing to accommodate the conventions ses-
scns. No legislation of marked pubic
interest is now suggested. There will at
tend the convention, however, fully 2,ooo
visitors. The convention will remain IN
session for nearly month.
Finally there is to be held in Zurich,
Switzerland. world Sunday school con-
vertion, to be attended by delegates from
this country to the number of 1000, 1t is
said. Previous conventions have been held
in Jerusalem, and one of the most sue
cessful OF all was held in Rome, Italy.
In Stockholm, Sweden. in April, will oc-
cur a session of the Baptist World AL
lance, but it will be limited to the Euro
pean Baptists. while the meetings to be
held in 1913 are important there is rather
fewer of them than for some years.

and scope of the proposed world confer
ence, the Rev. DR.. William 7. Manning,
and the secretary. a1r. Robert H Gard
iner. have just issued a letter to all
Christian people, all names. in which they
say that the churches are not. in their
judgment, ready to come together; are
not well settled in their own positions
werc they together. As steps toward
preparation they urge the holding of
meetings, perhaps very small, to discuss
unity problems. In such meetings they
urge the devotional side to be made prom
inent--- They point out the necessity of
selecting really fundamental questions for
discussion, avoiding divisive ones and they
announce as helps to such selection of top
les the early issue by them of biblio-
Srsphy, such as may prove helpful.

Making Arrangements

l. nc dfcnDlSnOpS OF Canterbury and Oh
York have nearly completed the estab-
lished English church committee that is
TO cooperate with the Episcopal church
in America, together to lead the Anglican
communion in the proposed conference,
and it is now known that the chairman of
the English committee is to be the bishop
of Bath and Wells, the Rt. Rev DR..
George w. Kennon. During the year Dis
| cirles of Christ will issue. through their
commission on unity, some articles in
tended to help on the cause. and Congre-
gstionaists and Presbyterians. at their
principal meetings, the one in October
and the other in May, will take action to
help on the conference. Distrust of the
lEpisoop church motive, general at first,
is disappearing, it is said.
Bsptists and Methodists have led in get
ting their organizations within their re-
srective bodies into closer unity. Pattern
| Ing after them during the year now OPEN
ing. and in some measure equalling their
| stands if possible, will be the Disciples
| OF Christ, already we'll advanced; the
| presbyterians, also with a beginning
made; Lutherans of the general council,
the Reformed church in America, and the
fIIpscopalians. The latter already do
| their home and foreign mission work un-
der one board, but the relations between
| that board and some other agencies with
! in the church are to be unified and i'm
fprcved, If present plans work out. No
idea is yet put forth as to when the
world conference is to be held. nor where.
All say Christians are not ready for it,.
/ Il is certain at any rate that it will not
be held during 1913.
! Four religious meetings of the first inn
| portance, and affecting Christian people
of the United States, will be held during
this year 1913 just now opening. This
number does not include rallies and con-
ventions, designed to arouse enthusiasm,
| like. the Christian Endeavor and the
! Brotherhood of st. Anderw, but refers to
such meetings as make history because
possessing legislative power Apart from
| the four there are, of course, the usual
anniversaries of the Baptists, the Dis
ciples of Christ, the Reformed churches,
both Dutch and German branches, and
several branches of the Lutherans.
| Marked interest attaches to the meet
! ings of Presbyterian assemblies in May.
Tho reason is Nhat both northern and
southern assemblies meet in Atlanta at
tho same time. The arrangement was
i carefully worked out, and plans are now
making for assemblies that may prove
historic. The assemblies, which are an
nual. do not unite in their sessions, at
least not in their business ones and pro-
gress toward unity has not yet been made
) sufficient to warrant, at this time, pre-
diction of anything more than fellow
| ship and in some instances introductions.
Unity will come up of course, and be
hardest pressed by the northern body At
lanta is ready, 1t announces, to entertain
bot! at the same time, both most hos
pitable and comfortable.

To Push Social Service

| The committee of correspondence.
created AT the meeting OF the Federal
council Just held In Chicago, has issued
a letter to the churches in which plans
: rv~-i, during 1913 are suggested. and
IN some cases outlined. The largest
slneie emphasis is laid upon social serv-
ice or as the church leaders are be-
ginning to call 1t. social justice. This
letter. so the council states. is offered
for circulation in all the churches at
the mere cost Of printing. The council
saws that few Christian people really
know Of its aims and achievements.
. Hence its desire TO have the letter to
the churches widely circulated.
During 1913 the council calls on
theological seminaries to make efforts
to train up additional social service
work ers 1t appeals to laymen to work
and speak for social service and JUS
tice. 1t talks in the letter just sent
out about the appalling number OF per-
sons MANNED or actually killed by de-
fective machinery each, and asks
whether the year 1918 is to witness the
tragic record of 1912.
Organizing Social Service
During 1912 several religious bodies
formed national social service commits
sions, and they announce as their pur-
pose during 1913 to organize, in CO.
operation with three national commits
sions local boards in cities. in states,
and thus to cover the country in the
name of the churches in behalf of civic
and social welfare. In not few cities
