The church is to or der that Sunday schools, mems clubs. rrotherhoods, mission boards young peoples societies and every other part of it's work enter on this campaign. Presbyterians argue that it is idle to bring about peace and allow armies to remain. and quite as idle to dissipate armies while people have it in mind ta create them. only a campaign Of education. 1t is argued. will cure the s- -ar disease.

Church Unity Plans

The Episcopal commission on church unity issues a statement of its plans in view of the war. It states that the bishops of Chicago, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, the Rev. Dr. William T. Manning of Trinity church, New York, and Dr. John R. Mott. the official head of foreign missions of the world, had found marked interest on the part of church leaders in Europe, Roman Cath olic. eastern Orthodox and Russian church included, and when the war came on they were on the point of starting to visit the highest function aries in all of them. Practically every country, and every communion, In Eu- rope were to have been visited.
 The trip having been prevented by the war, these Episcopal unity leaders issue suggestions about what Christian people can do instead. Foremost they think they can help to bring together divisions in their own religious bodies. These divisions are many as is known. Some progress has been made. the commission thinks. but much remains. These divisions are not all geographical. but obtain within bodies supposed to be together. The commis- sion thinks also that much educational work can be performed concerning the purposes of the world conference on faith and order. and that finally all Christians can work and pray for an end to war. Till now IS commissions have been named in as many bodies pledged to work for the conference un- til such time as it may seem wise to call ii

Learning From Railroads

rrote stant leaders in half 4 dozen bodies are taking lessons from the Lehigh Valley and other railroads in providing special educational tours along secular lines. These Christian extensionists argue that the coming winter and next summer will find few. Americans going to Europe. and great number instead going to the Pacific coast. some through the Panama canal. but many on one-half of the journey at least over the continental lines. If railroads help farm and industrial edu cation, these leaders argue that they may be induced to help Christian edu- cation.
 The plan proposed to be presented to the railroads involves no more than concessions in regard to stop-oyer pilVpeges There are being organized throushout the eastern states com panies of educators-ministers college professors, business and professional iaNmen Who are specialists on various mes Of Christian work. The lines se- leeted include evangelism. Bible normal work, missions social service. work for boys and eivics. together with very large contingent of Sunday school workers.
 Throughout the middle west the Rocky mountain region and on tine coast, in such cities as will locally plan details and secure audiences, con ferences, conventions and all sorts Of educational efforts are proposed. In- structors offer their services. some pay their own car fares. The plan was suggested only a short time since, but everybody is approving it. and many churches ip the parts of the coun- try named are already active with early details The claim is made that the largest educational work ever carried on at one time can be made possible, and that at a minimum of expense.

 Lesson From Railroads

New York. September 26.-(Special) Interested in foreign missions-and they are many--are rejoicing over the extraordinary record just made by their American board. Closing it's fscalt year at the height of the first week s of the war scare. the board received for lsl4 the sum of s1.0S1 000 or q slight gain over the previous year. The sum met all appropriations and left balance of sS000. It came into the year with s11,O00 debt and was able. therefore. to reduce that debt to seooo' Sc small is this sum that no question obtains but that atfDetroit in october at the annual meeting, it will be wiped out. So far as can be learned this boards experience is unusual this year.
 The system of money transfer be- tween this country and the near east has broken down completely. It has long been the custom of the board to transmit money to Constantinople from Armenians resident here to their friends in Turkey. The service has been that of friend, and performed It cost. Unable even to send it's own money to Turkey. the board was com pelled to decline to accept responsi- bility for Armenian money, even that needed for relief An arrangement per feeted with the Standard oil company has likewise broken down, and at the moment no way can be found to do bus mess with the near east. Board mis- sionaries. just returned from there be- report women and children starving in the Balkans, many still living in the neids. and relief committees absolute ly unable to assist because their drafts for thousands could not be turned into cash and would not be accepted any where.

Do Not Misinterpret Christianity

The 13 men representing the foreign mission conference Of North America, appointed for such contingencies as have just arisen from the war, have issued joint address to all churches and all people. in which they say that there is grave danger for misinterpre- tation of Christianity, imagining it is repr esented best by armies and navies rather than by peace and good will. Signers include the Rev Dr. Arthur ]. Brown for Presbyterians, the Rev. pr. James l.. Barton for Congregationalists the Rev Dr. Frank Mason North for Methodists. the Rev. Dr. James H. Franklin for Baptists, the Rev. Dr. Alexander Mclean for Disciples of Christ, and Bishop Arthur s. Lloyd for Episcopalians.
 These men refer directly in their ad- dress to President Wilson's message concerning Sunday. October 1. and sug- gest dozen or more topics for pray ter, among them petitions for nurses, for new treaties just signed by this and ether nations, for President Wilson, and especially that Christ's cause be not permanently injured. They ask that missionary work be not forgotten in prayers and support. Finally they call attention to the fact that Amerl- cans are often as boastful as foreign CTS regarding their own views and achievements. intinating that American civilization is not much thicker or sounder than that of the nations now actually ut war.
 The federal council has sent out forIns of prayers to be used on Octo- Der l. These forms include an article by Professor Rauschenbush of Roches- ter, to be read where desired. An Epis- ccpal form of service has been pre- pared by Bishop Greer of New York, ard that the whole church may have a uniform service for the day it Is be- ing adopted in many dioceses other than New York. A common agreement was arrived at to that end Some 5O.- 900 Protestant ministers have been communicated with. It is learned that Catholic churches. quite as generally as Protestant will observe the day while Jews will keep Saturday, she Sd. It is declared on all sides that no day in America has been Kept for re lip.ious emphasis to the extent that this one will be.

RAIN ON THE ROOF PROVED
 VALUE OF WOOD TO MUSIC

Since Mittelburger. the German musi- elan, while sleeping under roof of cedar shingles in Philadelphia, 16o years ago. was entranced with the resonance pro- duced by raindrops falling on the shin gles, until the present time. wood has held an indisputable place in the niann- facture of musical instruments. says the Hardwood Record Mittelburgers first work under his theory that wood was more musical than metal was when he built a pipe organ-the first in America with the pipes of southern white cedar, the same wood which had charmed his ear while he listened to the rain on the roof.
 The superlative quality of spruce as material for sounding boards is due to the long, straight. regular fibers of which the wood is composed. The microscope reveals what the unaided eye cannot see. The minute cells forming the wood are extremely long-full one hundred times IS long as their diameter measuf ement-and each cell or fiber is stretched like q taut string Although these cells. all lying lengthwise of the wood, are packed and stretched closely, side by side. there is room for vibration when they are struck.
 All woods possess this quality or reso- nance, but in vastly different degrees. Some are dull and nearly dead others suit tones quick and sharp, and still others give out ,unds that continue long time and grs siually die away as f in the distance Spruce is of the latter kind.
 Wood possesses resonance, metal has ring That may not wholly conform to dictionary definitions, but 1t classif.es the two materials pretty accurately.

But how much softar and meiodious that singing wire becomes
 the ear is pressed agp inst the telephone pole, so that the vibrations come through the wood to ,earh the ear. instead of d. rectly from the wire.
