That John B. Sleman. jr., of Washing
ton, founder of the Laymen's Mission
airy Movement. received in a Young Peo-
training which resulted in the establish
ment of the Iaymen's organization, is
the statement of William Shaw, LII. D.,
general secretary OF the United Society
of Christian Endeavor. Concerning the
value Of young peoples organizations. DR..
Shaw continues: They become the man
uaI training school of the church, where
the young learn how to speak by speak
ing and how to work by working.
1t is safe to say that the organiza-
ton of the young people has largely
helped to transform the attitude OF the
church toward the young disciples. The
church now that is not actively inter-
ested in the training of its young peo-
pie is a curiosity. 1t has also changed
the attitude of the young people toward
the church. No longer do they hold aloof
and camp on the outer edge; they are in
the heart Of things. 1t has broadened
their conception OF the religious life.
and instead of placing the emphasis upon
being saved, their motto is, Saved to
serve"
It has placed the young people at the
front in all movements for temperance,
CIVIC righteousness anu HOI al leAOt ii'
and to their leadership was largely due
the nationwide interest in such cam
paigns as the "Go-to-Church Sunday"
and the "SaloonIess Nation by 1920.
1t has given to the young people
new vision of the churches obligation
to obey the great commission. Go ye
into all the world" and the initial plans
for the great'and successful educational
campaign for missions, carried on by
the Young Peoples Interdenominational
Missionary Movement, now the Missionary
Education Movement, were prepared by
Amos r. Wells and Earl Taylor, lead
ers in Christian Endeavor and the Ep-

The War and the Effort
of the Church to End It

The Baptist watchman and Examiner
thus explains the methods OF the Deity
in His dealings with the world:
In the movement of events in which
the infinite and the finite commingle, God
has at least two ways Of working. These,
it may be said, are the ordinary and the
extraordinary methods Of God. First, we
see God in his Ordinary working as we
note a process of development in which
for long periods of time events seem to
spring out of plain antecedents. But
God has another method OF operation,
and at longer or shorter intervals OF time
cataclysms occur. The cataclysm trans
cends development and seems often to
sweep away the evolved results of CEN
turtles. This is Gods strange work.
filled with mystery, teeming with sur
prises, and often terrorizing in its effects.
The operations Of the cataclysmic force
have been recurrent from the premium
dane war in heaven to the present hor-
ror in Europe in which millions OF men
are warning with the most death-dealing
weapons that science can invent.
The Presbyterian, the weekly organ OF
The Presbyterian church in England, an
nounces its suspension Of publication for
the present This is owing to two condi-
tons; one OF which Is that the sources of
revenue have been largely cut on on ac-
count of business paralysis due to war
conditions, and the other is the increased
cost of paper and the stoppage OF import
of raw materials usel in the output of
the paper. The editorial and other de-
partments Of the paper are heavy with
the sorrow that has come upon the peo-
pie in this ruinous war. The moderator
of the Presbyterian Church OF England.
DR.. James R. Giles, issues a message to
the church in which he declares that all
that could be done for peace, consistently
with honor had been done. and all had
failed. Pleas for neutrality are out of
date. The only herald Of peace must be
the sword drawn in a religious cause.
He calls for vigorous self-denial in the
use Of all things that pertain to the main
tenance OF life; a practical sympathy Tor
all those on whom the burden OF suffer-
ing will fall the most heavily, and urges
young men to respond to the appeal OF
active service. His final recommendation
is daily intercession at the family alter
and meetings for prayer in all the
churches With regard to Germany he
announces this beautiful Christian SEN
timent: Let us studiously refrain from
everything that might tend to emhitter
and perpetuate the present unnatural
alienation Abusive epithets applied to
their ruler. the inputation Of sordid and
unworthy motives Of a high-minded peo-
pie, these are signs of weakness and not
Of strength in ourselves. Let US fight
them. so that. when the war is over we
NAV be free to say: We never were your

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN
EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN.

Rev Or. J. Wilbur Chapman, who is
resting after his work in Scotland, re-
Gently conducted a conference on evan
gelism at Montreal, y. C, the summer
mecca of the Southern Presbyterian
Church At the last general assembly
this denomination voted to make evan
gelism the keynote for the present year,
and in keeping with this policy the
Montreal conferences. which continued
for eight weeks, set apart an entire week
for evangelism DR.. Chapman confessed
frankly that he disliked the title pro
fessionaI evangelist" that he deplor6d
the necessity for such { calling, and that
he hoped the rising tide OF sane evan
geIism would eliminate the professional
from the coming church He pointed TO
the ideal state of evangelism as two
fold. personal and pastoral; and he in
sisted that when the church rises to
sense Of its power in these two arms, the
professional evangelist will disappear,
but meanwhile he feels called of God
TO do the work of a circuit rider round
the world.
The evangelistic church, DR.. Chapman
declares is one which follows the lead
ership of an evangelistic pastor; the
evangelistic pastor is a man filled with
the spirit and working under the guild
ance of God: the evangelistic sermon is
one which prOVOkes a crisis in the soul
of the hearer. DR.. Chapman insisted
that evangelism is not a method, but
a spirit. He gave many illustrations of
methods which he had used IN his pas
torates and his broader work, but he said
that he never entered a series of meet
ings with a prepared program Ralph
Norton. who far years has had charge
of DR. Chapman's personal workers. gave
ministers and workers who were in at
tendance much that will be helpful to
them in their work. Among the minis
ters and the elders, as well as among
the women and young people, there was
many a token of a strong desire to carry
home the spirit of evangelism.
