SUMMER WORK FOR CHURCH
Gratifying Results at West Branch
of the Y. NJ. c. A.

That It is possible 10 continue religious
work in the summer through cooperative
methods has been demonstrated during
the last few months by the results of
union meetings held by chapters Of the
brotherhood of Andrew and Philip in
West Philadelphia, and the West Branch
Young Mems Christian Association. The
meetings started on July 3 and are TO
end tomorrow. although II had been the
original intention to close them before
that date The change IN closing was
made however at the request OF seY-
sral churches which had not taken up
the plan IN the beginning and desired TO
have their chapters represented IN the
work after they found out how success
ful il was proving.
During the warm summer afternoons
when there was little religious activity,
the 7. NJ. c. 4 workers and those of the
Brotherhood opened services in the ssso-
citation lobby at o'clock each Sunday
and held brief service OF preparation,
and afterward open-air services were
conducted The reports show that the at
tendance al Il meetings was 17H persons,
that six denominations participated in
the work and that II laymen and II cler-
gvmen addressed the meetings. But, best
of all, 50 men have pledged themselves
for some specific kind Of voluntary work
in the interests OF advancing Christianity.

Frankford Methodist Episcopal Church,

COLFELT CHURCH TO
Be SOLD, EDIFICE
USED FIFTY YEARS
Presbyterian Congregation,
Few in Numbers in Recent
Years, Reluctant to Let
Pastor Cots History.

With the retirement of the Rev. DR..
of the West Green street Presbyterian
Church Nineteenth and Green streets,
there seems little doubt that the congre-
cation will shortly offer the valuab BILE
church property for sale
One of the officials said yesterday that,
largely to changed conditions of the
neighborhood and the removal to the sub
urban sections of many of the old mem
bers, the majority of the members seemed
to agree that the best thing that could
be done would be to disband and turn
the property over to the Philadelphia
Presbytery. In this event, he said. the
property would undoubtedly be offered
for sale in the near future.
FIFTY YEARS OLD.
The church edifice is one of the most
is landmark in the neighborhood. For
almost half century it has housed the
congregation In their worship. and among
those who attended services there we're
many of the most distinguished ctizens
OF the country. The property is saidTto
be worth about $4,000 , ..
Years ago the church was one of the
most flourishing in the presbytery, and
IL was not infrcquent, according to old
churchmen, for every pew to be filled
both at the morning and evening serv-
Ices. Among its pastors were men of
great eloquence and leaders of the de-
nomination. Now many of the older
members have passed away, the Younger
tral to the suburban districts and the
congregation has fallen off rapidly Dur
ing the last two years there has been
no Sunday school connected with the
church, and, AS one of the members de
clared a day or two ago. when there is
no Sunday school there is little hope
for the future of any congregation
PASTOR COLFELT MUCH LIKED.
The Rev. DR.. Colfelt was one of the
most popular clergymen in this city, and
for years, during his pa5torate, even
though members had removed far from
the church, they would return to listen
to his sermons And had he not re-
mained there il is probable that the con-
gregation would have disbanded before
this, Dr. Colfelt came to the city first
as the pastor Of the oxford PRESBYTERIAN
for seven years he remained in that

YOUR WASTINGS

Rubbish is Gods opportunity for riches.

turn into things that are a delight Even
the world is discovering this principle In
commenting on the amazing value of for
merly neglected by-products 1t has ncen
said: Men have discovered that waste
is too rich to be neglected, without IT,,
the world is too poor" Discarded turkey
quills are today enrichng not only the
worlds commerce, hut the world wide
work Of the Sunday school through the
gifts of a well-known inventor And
when we give God unhindered control Of
our own wasted lives He can capitalize
our waste into such immediate and un-
measured wealth for ourselves and for
others as only the miracle lchemy of
Heaven could accomplish. It Is the base
things and the things that are despsed
that God rejoices to touch, transform and
use for His own glory. II we are sure
that there is waste and rubbish in our
own life, we may be equally sure that
ours is the life that God can immediately
make wealthy.-Sunday School Times

The Tennessee Text Book Commits
sioners who have been in session il
Nashville for the past two weeks have
completed the work OF selecting the

the publishers decided to give the con-
tract to one firm and have the business
handled from the same house.
