Conditions Much Improved

Financial conditions as they affect money for Christian work in America and on distant mission fields are be- lieved by Christian leaders to have i'm . prcved wonderfully within the past fortnight It Is their conviction that the war scare. as it affects gifts, IS over and that with the prospective opening of the financial exchanges in New York and London and the sales of produce and manufactures money will be released and people be brave enough to give it. Three annual meetings of
 big societies just held arrived as these conclusions.
 These were the Disciples of Christ rt Atlanta. the American Board at De- troit and the American Missionary as- soeiation at Providence. Much enthu- siasm over the financial outlook, all things taken into account. was shown at all three meetings Small deficits were wiped out and at least two so- c,etics showed the largest incomes n their histories. Gifts to the Red Cross and other war causes do not impair efility of Americans to give. hut in the judgment of the Christian leaders rath- CT whet appetites.
 Presbyterians and Episcopalians are planning campaigns to wipe out deficits
 of las. year. Baptists have their deficits
 down to e42.000. and a host of ven-
 lures are planning to take advantage
 of present conditions that are stirred
 1 by the war.

A third was a plan by which thousands of young men, going to New York from other cities, shall be gotten in touch with and located in churches where they might feel at home and probably perform personal
 work And the fourth was the starting, in a few churches at least. of religious schools on week day afternoons. to be taught by public school teachers, and so lengthen much the time given to the re- ligious education of boys and girls.

 Every day that is gone Is gone for
 ever, never to return. Make the most of every day. Many women spend years trying to beautify themselves and before they are through wrinkles come to eradicate all their previous efforts. The methods employed at the present day for removing wrinkles and beautifying the complexion are meager, indeed The ordinary prepared creams used for this purpose are merely weak subterfuges, as many women know only too well. It comes with much surprise, then, to many women to realize that real beauty Is matter of but a few weeks faithful effort. as resort to the following tor

Report Greater Efficiency

Disciples of Christ. holding a genera convention in Atlanta on delegate ba sis last week report greater efficiency in business methods and no lack of en. thusiasm. Heretofore disciples conyen. tions have been mass meetings of friends of various volunteer societies Two thou sand delegates were present at Atlanta although that city is somewhat out of the center of population of the body. Societies of the brotherhood-the term by which disciples call themselves showed financial receipts last year ex- ceeding Si.l00,00o, or a gain over the pre- vious year of about $50.O00. This gain was made by gifts to foreign work and
 women's work. Home work receipts fell off $12.000 During the past six years re-
 ceipts for foreign work have jumped from $274,000 to $462 600 a year, and the number of workers on fields has doubled.
 Women gained $19,O0O, Aand had receipts
 considerably exceeding 900.
 Plans to receive the largest impetus from the convention at Atlanta were the men and millions, which aims to secure 100000 within a specified time a few years hence; and the educational plans for members of all churches for all causes. Much attention is being given to the location of college pastors at uni
 versity centers. Disciples were leaders in this plan and Virginia was the first to have such pastor. The idea Ia not merely to get into touch with college students to secure candidates for the ministry, but to inject religious instruction into the secular during the collegiate terms. Hence the name Bible chairs applied to such pastorates.
