LAT1lEN PLAN FOR
METHODS FOR EFFICIENCY


Seven hundred lawyers, bankers, ed
itors artisans and others, all men
and communicates OF the Epis-
copal church in New York. have
held a Laymen's Efficiency convention,
the first meeting OF its kind in the
church named The convention pointed
out that the Episcopal church in New
York city is equipped with plants I'll
well located, worth S40.000.000. and an
annual income Of S4,500.000; equipment
and income exceeding most famous col
leges- The new plan proposed by these
practical men was that hereafter lay
men themselves go TO the various
causes. AID not wait for missionary
and other societies TO come to them
with appeals
Things proposed TO be done BY these
men were four one was TO enlarge an
existing laymen's training school that
shall furnish trained volunteers for all
forms Of work in individual churches
Another was a labor bureau 10 help
care for the unemployed. who viii b

a third was a plan by which thousands
OF young men. going TO New York
from other cities. shall be put 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

sought 20 Impress upon a child people
These should be an invitation to study
the effect Of wonder tales upon chill
dreu and nations in the child stage Of
development and then come 70 the only
possible conclusion. that these tales
have within them the germs OF the re-
ligiOus genius of the people who gave
them 10 the world and are thus a re-
markable contribution TO this form OF
literature
Because science tells US it took a
million years. more or less to form
this world. and this world is only an
insignificant part Of a mighty universe,
while the bible tells US this world was
created in six days and is the center
about which sun, moon, stars and all
creation revolve, this does not justify
sueeriuE reference 10 the false geology
Of the bible.

anime creation stories and ascertain

has narrowed up the grounds Of peo-
pies convictions and that they are
more alive to appeals than when the
war did not exist
The reason for the campaign and the
large amount to be secured is the de-
ficit obtaining last spring when books
for home and foreign missions were
closed These amounted TO S29Z,OOO for
foreign work and S13S,OOO for home.
Deficits were said to be caused, not
from decline in receipts. for these

Of the late pope Plus X Details Of this
policy are a closer but not cOmprOmis-

CA" OLD storage is what makes

- Perkins grumblingly. That
stands 10 reason. If there want no
cold storage all the eggs would be
eat whilst they was cheap, and they'd
be cheap eggs, and when there want
no more eggs there wouldn't be no
price. You can't have a price on eggs
when there amt no eggs to have a
price on. My idee is that we ought
to eat up all the eggs whilst they're
cheap, and"
"That was what we thought" said
Uncle Ashdod, so we started in to
eat EN- all up. I'VE eat 'em boiled
both hard and soft and fried, and
poached. and stuffed, and omletted,
and the first mate eat six dozen of
'em a Ia Newburg, so we buried him
