Il have been most reluctant to speak
about IT," says the pastor "but the
time has come when the men Of
America must rise to their plain duty
The women have gone too far. Young
girls are walking up and down our
streets every day so apparellel that
the right-minded citizen feels moth

in what the pastor called a Forum
Each Sunday night he holds the brief

the congregation settles down for the
discussion of some important question

talked about the tariff and the fol-
lowing Sunday currency reform was
the topic up for discussion.

OKLAHOMA LAWS
GOVERN CHINESE
THE NEW REPUBLIC OF CHINA
CHOOSES CONSTITUTION OF
OKLAHOMA AS MODEL.

A shifting, restless, eXcitable popu-
lation of four hundred million souls
comprising the new republic of China
is being ruled, governed and perfect
ed in organization under a constitu-
ton which was modelled directly after
that of the state of Oklahoma.
The story of how this was brought
about was brought to this country by
Bishop Bashford of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who has spent
much time in the Orient and was told
by him for the first time at the con
ference of NJ f.. church missionaries
at Waynesville, ~ c., last week. Rev.
o. +. Goddard, pastor of St. Paul's
NJ +. church, south, this city, at
Tended the conference, and heard
Bishop Bashford tell the story.
1T struck me as being somewhat
remarkable that the largest single
race of people in the world should be
governed by a constitution drafted by
an American state and very new
state as a model" said Rev. Goddard.
q asked Bishop Bashfori the partic-
ulars of the case, but he had forgot
ten the name of the Oklahoma citi-
zen who furnished the copy of this
states constitution The story, how
ever, is absolutely true"
1t seems that after the selection Of
Dr. Sun Vat Sen as provisional
president of China, he assembled his
counselors and set about the work of
drafting a constitution. After dis
cussing the matter of a model at
some length, it was finally decided
that in view Of the friendl yattitude
of the United States, this country's
constitution should be used as the
model DR. Sun Vat Sen cabled the
t. S. consul general at Shanghai re-
questing that a copy of the United
States constitution be sent immedi-
ately. The consul general did not
possess one, and neither did any Of
his colleagues in any other of the
Chinese cities. DR.. Sun Vat Sen was
so advised. Then lend me a copy
Of the constitution of an American
state" he replied A diligent search
was prosecuted which took in hun
lrods of former citizens and officials
Of American states, and finally m
az Oklahoman was found who had a
'ony of his states constitution.
This was forwarded to DR.. Sun Vat
SEN. and from the constitution of the
state of Oklahoma as prepared b.

,rnment of the republic of China are

ADVERTISING FOR CHURCHES
This Problem is Now Receiving Con
sideration Of Every Minister.

New York, July s. Should the
church advertise? That is not at all
an irreyerent question 1t is a prob
lem that is to day rec living consid-
Grafton of every minister OF the gos-
pei in New York and many laymen
Opinion is divided on the subject, nat
urally but that the majority seems
to take an affirmative view of the
question is evidenced by the numer-
Gus and varied church advertisem nts
that assail the eye and ear in Goth
am. A very dignified Episcopal
church in Upper Broadway displays
large electric sign bearing this leg
end:
Full Choral Evensong, p. M.
Sundays"
The sign is not widely different
from those seen in front of theatres
further down the street. Perhaps an
Illuminated sign is a radical step but
painted designs, with huge letters,
are now Haunted over the portals of
scores of New York churches, inform
ing the passer-by of the hours of ser
vice and the added attractions" OF
orchestra and choir. In the Satur-
day newspapers many of the pastors
now insert regulation cards in the
paid advertisement columns, calling
attention to Sundays services and lay
ing stress on the musical features.
Some Of them add the words: Seats
free"
This line no doubt rather strikes
the rural visitor as rather un- church
like, but it is nothing out of the way
when one understands the situation.
Many of the metropolitan churches
charge a stipulated pew rent, and the
seats of the congregation are thus
paid for as much as are theater seats,
though there is no box office in front.
"The church is fighting the world,
the flesh and the devil, and they all
advertise their attractions, said one
advocate of the new idea 'Why should
not the church meet the world, the
flesh and the devil ON their own
ground?"
The clergyman of a church up in
Washington Heights that has a small
lawn in front has installed benches
there and they are free to all comers.
