Call to Service
and Peace Prayers
by Bishop Lines
Restrained utterances Advised
and New Work Of Churches
Suggested.

In q diocesan letter Bishop Edwin
S. Lines, of the diocese of Newark,
Protestant Episcopal Church. has is
sued a call for special service in the
churches of this order on October 4,
and also prayer for use on that day.
Bishop Lines expresses his strong de-
sire that all the churches should heed
President Wilson's request for the
peace observance October 4. ser
vice arranged by Bishop Greer, of
New York, Is authorized for use in
this diocese. In addressing the clergy
Bishop Lines says. I'VE ought as or
dained ministers and public teachers
to feel special responsibility for re-
strained and wise utterances, how
ever strong our personal feelings and
convictions may be-"
1t is pointed out that there never
was a time when the work of the
churches in relief and sslritual min
istries was more needed. The tone
of the call to service is one of hope
and courage. There is declared to be
no reason for despair. Men will be
driven back to think of Him in whom
all things must stand Many have
learned how unreal and artificial the
worlds life has become" says Bishop
Lines land will desire to see and re-
gard the things of real importance.
The call includes a series of six
special prayers. Each in itself is

Women S Voices in
Catholic Choirs

An. interesting tendency noticed this
fall in some of the large cities is the
return to the days when women sang
soprano and alto parts in the choirs
of Catholic churches. Boy sopranos
have been considered bother to
choir directors. 1t is said they can
not produce the tones to offset the
singing of a large number of men as
required in the best grade Of choir
music The task, too, for choir di-
rectors has been made difficult, for
not many are found in this country
who have experience in the training
of boys voices. Beside the cost of
such work increased the expenses of
the churches considerably.
When Pope Plus issued his decree
recommending that male voices do. all
the choir work, boys were not used
but men attempted to sing masses ar
ranged for male voices. These masses,
however, are limited, as the classic
masses are generally set for mixed
voices. In churches where effort was
made to carry out the recommenda-
ton of Plus X, the training Of boys
between the ages of nine and fifteen
was attempted but not found salts
factory. The return TO mixed voices
and the singing of the masses with
women in soprano and also parts is
being attended, 1t is said, by increased
congregations, especially at the late
mass in city churches.

Methodist Home
Mission Survey
Work Finished
Results of Comprehensive Study
of FieId--Some Places With
out Churches.

One of the most extensive surveys
and missionary campaigns ever con-
Quoted by a Protestant denomination
has been finished by the Board of
Home Missions and Church Exten-
sion of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Three corresponding secre-
taries, Revs. Ward Plat, Charles NJ.
Boswell and Freeman D. Bovard,
made a tour of the country and d.
rected the surveys. Included In this
work was the securing of as accurate
a history as possible of every Metho-
dist church In the United States and
a knowledge of the condition, pros
poets, facilities and the strength of
every Methodist community
The whole country is now system
atically mapped and divided into sec
tons; statistics have been gathered
and tabulated. Information has been
obtained concerning investments of
the Methodist loan fund, which lends
at per cent. money for building new
churches. One feature of this COM
prehensive plan was to determine the
relative strength of the various sec
tons. Many places were found in
need of aid. Toward these sections
the board will direct it's energies in
an effort to make them Self-Support-
Ing. The secretaries divided the
country into far west, east and middle
west and south, one secretary to each
They visited So conferences. AS one
result OF the survey internal troubles
in many churches were settled, and
arrangements made for combining
churches where there were too many.
One whole district was found in
Montana, fairly we'll populated
area, where there was no church of
any kind A young minister has now
been sent there and Is at work organ
izing churches. 1t was found by the
survey that Protestant denominations
are combining in many places to pre-
vent over-churching. Opportunities
for religious work among aliens were
discovered. 1t is recommended in a
report by the secretaries making the
survey that men who are to go to a
foreign field be first sent among the
foreign populations of this country to
learn the language of the country to
which they are to go, and at the same
time they will be able to do foreign
mission service first here.

Methodists Plan
for War Relief

The Board of Foreign Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church has
sent out an appeal for the organiza-
ton of a war relief fund" 1t is
pointed out that in the present cata-
clysm no adequate steps have been
taken by the forces of Christendom to
meet the spiritual crisis, and that the
strange situation is presented of $50
Protestant pastors of France, who
have shouldered rifles and gone to
the front while in Germany nearly
all Methodist preachers are bearing
arms. THE men who might be per-
forming spiritual ministries are com
PEELED to serve in the ranks of oppos-
ing armies the mission board de-
clares.
war relief fund is being urged TO
be organized on the lines of the Chris
tian Commission which did relief
and spiritual work during the Civil
War in this country. 1t Is stated that
the necessity for this work, as far as
the Methodist churches are concerned
falls on the churches of America, be-
cause Methodist churches in the war
ring countries are disorganized and
their ministers are on the firing line.
Besides special emergencies are aris-
ing in Africa, India, China, Japan and
other lands affected by the war, that
put added burdens on churches here.
How can Christendom give relief"
Is declared to be the burning ques-
ton" by the Methodist mission board.

Author Discusses Three Stages of Human Lfe-Eements of
Character and Idea of Church Work

sion. TO the impossible task of estah-
fishing the kingdom in the absence

Therefore readers are urged by this
book in these terms LET us leave
the government of the world until the
King comes; let us leave the eiviliz-

the discussion is that the millennium
is synonymous with the kingdom.
The new age will appear after the
present age has ended in disaster.
Then God will take up again his pur-
poses. The form of government then
will be a theocracy and the seat OF
government at Jerusalem. After this
