A labor evangelist" is the title pre-
ferred by the American Baptist Home
Mission Society in seeking to overcome
the alienation Of wage-workers from the
church. For some time the board of this
society considered the advisability If
forming bureau of labor similar to that
of the Presbyterian Church. with a secre-
tary in charge of the Office But instead
a worker in the field was appointed, and
is now at his task. He had already been
OF service in advance of his appointment
in testing the value of the plan by asso-
ciating with bodies of workingmen ard
gaining their confidence.
This labor evangelist" Is Rev. D. L.
Schultz, of Pittsburgh, Pa. One Of his
chief duties is to work with men on strike
in order to learn the facts regarding con-
dftions and causes of a strike, to give
counsel, to aid in material need. to medi-
ate in settlement of the strike. as well as
to preach Christian truth. This evangelist
was originally glassworker by trade.
and for several years was a missionary
pastor in Dakota and on the Pittsburgh
field. He has been visiting the camps Of
striking miners in one OF the districts Of
Pennsylvania Here organized labor was
not tolerated, and the men had recourse
for their grievances to personal appeal
only. Not getting results by this method,
they decided to organize. Before tins
could be effected the leaders were dis
charged.
With organization completed the miners
went on strike. All who Joined the union
We're discharged and families were evicted
from the company houses. They lived on
the roadside until the United Mine Work.
ers of America erected tents on land
rented from farmers. Among these fami-
lies attempting to live through the past
winter the labor evangelist went and
sought to meet their needs. By writing
articles on the situation 10 Pittsburgh
papers and appealing for shoes. clothing,
and food. he was able to minister 10 the
body while preaching to the soul. This
evangelist has visited camp after camp
and been well received.

100000 Presbyterian Bequest
Released to Build Churches

After a struggle extending through
more than two years, the Presbyterian
Church. U. s. A., has s5o0.OO0 to-lend out
at once for the purpose of helping feeble
congregations in remote sections through
this country to build houses Of worship.
The half of million dollars is part Of
the 100000 bequest of John s. Kennedy
to the Board of Church Erection of the
Presbyterian Church. the headquarters of
which are in New York City. All Of
the money is at present invested and
only the interest has been used to aid
congregations to build.
But NJ. Linn Bruce, one-time Lieuten-
ant Governor of New York State, rem
dered an opinion a few days ago that
there was nothing in the statutes Of the
State of New York which prevented
$4,000 from being released and used.
Following the receipt Of the opinion the
Board of Church Erection held a meet
ing and voted to place the $4,000 at
the immediate disposal Of such parishes
as apply for aid.
This closes an issue which has waxed
so warm that II has threatened to rend
the Board Of Church Erection itself. It
has also caused bitter feeling throughout
the Church, especially in the Middle
West. where so many Of those in the
country are utterly unable to build their
own houses Of worship.
