Under leadership of the Presbyterian
board of home missions PrOtestants
are taking up the task of making fu-
ture ministers better acquainted with
practical problems. A conference has
Just been held attended By $50 stu
dents from seminaries covering Pres
byterian, Methodist, Baptist, Congre-
gational and Reformed bodies. 1t IS
the first thing of its kind ever held.
Seminaries represented were all OF the
large ones in the east under control
of these bodies. There are to follow
similar conferences in the south ana
middle west, the southwest and on the
coast Among the leaders in the plan,
cooperating with the board named. IS
Rev. DR.. J. Ross Stevenson, the new
president of Princeton seminary
The things taken up are the lmml-
grant, the industrial. and the city prop
lens, together with the underlying
principles of social service IN an
forms. The purpose is to fit more
adequately the pastors of the churcnes
of the future in these lines. ESpeclaIlg
prominent is also made the question on on

"And this is love, that we walk after
his commandments" JnO. 9. Extract
from sermon by the Rev. Henry Easter,
rector Church of st. Clement.
ND it ever occur to you to ask
why in the prayer book, the com
mandments are placed at the
very beginning Of the communion Of
flee? 1t is an, arrangement peculiar
to our church, and is intended to lndl-
cate that, with US, righteousness IS an
imperative qualification for receiving
the holy sacrament. 1t is not enough
that is to say, that we accept the
creeds. 1t is not enough that we par
uicipate in the churchs worship. ms
would be a very defective organlzz;a-
ton if it were only the church OF the
creeds and the Lords prayer. Doc
trines are very important, but charac-
ter is the most important OF all II
doctrines do not result in the formation
of character they amount to nothing.
If worship does not cultivate charac-
ter is is failure. And to indicate this
as strongly as possible, the church has
thought good to order that the 10 com
mandments be said at the Deglnnlng
of thescommuniOn O1fioc. ana 10 every
one of them the sespOne is required
Lord, have mercy upon US and incline
our hearts to keep this law. IhaI
we may hear and understand them,
they are to be said distinctly, ana Lne
answer is to be made distinctly. we
are confronted by a moral code before
we are allowed to hear the cOmfOrta-
BILE words" We must hear the COM
mandments before we sing the sanctus
Before we confess our sins to God we
must listen to his law, that we may
clearly understand what sin Is.
Church Demands Morality.
Not only does the church demand
morality as q condition to the, holy
/ communion. but she does not permit
| US to select our own standards Of NOR

MISSION SOCIETIES


a conference of officers Of all mis-
sionary societies in England and Scot
land has Just been held in London to
determine what to do in the present
war crisis There were received at it
also communications from French and
German societies. The latter, to the
qualification of the conference, were
most friendly in tone, with no sugges-
tions about responsibility for starting
the war. The British and Foreign Bible
society. the Church Missionary soci-
etv one of the TWO large societies in
the church of England, the London
Missionary society, supported by Con-
eregationalists, the Baptist Missionary
society and China inland mission and
others reported hardly any decrease in
receipts, and declared their purpose to
maintain their work at old standards.
The conference Joined with others in
a movement to influence wives of sol
diers to greater sObriety, and Also to
close saloons for longer hours. 1t
seems that soldiers at the front or
dering their pay sent to their families
are providing these families with
money in larger sums than when the
husbands were at home, at any rate
women have more ready money. It is
