Ministerial Union Hears Discussion
on Training Of Children.

TT is not enough to send our children
to Sunday school; we must train them to
attend church, Bishop Thomas B.
Nicely of the Methodist Episcopal
Church on Friday told the Ministerial
Union of Philadelphia at its quarterly
meeting in the First Baptist Church.
The bishop took part in a discussion that
followed the Rev William v. Berg's
paper on The Church and the Child"
IF we train children to go to Sunday
school and do not train them to go to
church we almost fall continued the
bishop. "If you get the child in the habit
of attending Sunday school and not at
tending church. 1t will not attend church
when 1t grows older. Our problem Is to
make the world better. We must begin
by training the child; otherwise we shall
make little progress.
Il believe we have carried pedagogy to
an extreme in our Sunday schools. We
talk too much about graded lessons and
the division of the Sunday school into
departments. Let us give less attention
to methods and more to the child"

Newly Appointed President of Theological Seminary
Outlines Some of His Policies-Aims to Bring Stu
dents Into Closer Touch With Real Life of Church.

DR.. Stevenson. who for the las. five
years has been pastor of the Brown
Memorial Church here, whose activities
spread over most of Baltimore. said
that 1t was his desire TO have the
Princeton Theological Seminary launch
out a leader and to have IL attain its
proper place. due il because of its his
toric position. He spoke feelingly of
the pain it cost him to sever his rela-
tions with his church here. 1t was with
deepest sorrow of heart and only after
prolonged thought and prayer. he said.
that he had decided TO accept the
Princeton call
DR.. stevenson was asked to tell what
thought was in his mind when. In pre-
senting his resignation to his con-
gregation, he said that the whole Pres
byterian Church naturally had deep
concern for the plans and policies of
the Princeton seminary.
That concern" he answered is
largely as to methods. 1t is concern
which aims to bring the theological
student of today into closer touch with
the real life OF the church. as in the
great movements at home and abroad.
The supply at present is Insufficient
to meet the demands OF the church. 1t
should be the plan and policy of the
Princeton seminary to get a sufficiently
numerous ministry. This supply has
been Inadequate within recent years
for the work at home and abroad"
DR.. Stevenson was asked whether the
standard of men who had entered the
ministry had been sufficiently high To
this he replied:
The standard has been high and the
quality good. but the church needs
stronger men. The need of such
stronger men becomes apparent when
ever prominent pulpit becomes va
cant. 1t is only with the greatest diff
ficulty that these pulpits can be sup
piled.
Il am in sympathy with the principles
and traditions of the seminary or I
would not have accepted the presi-
dency. | Will make no radical changes
in these principles There will be some
changes in the methods of work. but
they will come slowly. 4 seminary can
not be made over in a day. 1t will be a
matter of time and thought and prayer.
II will place a great deal of emphasis
upon the missionary work of the
church. / believe in missions, and
believe that Christ's great commission
to the church is to carry the gospel
to the uttermost parts of the earth. I
cannot give by ideas for the seminary
now. / want to study conditions and to
think things over. | am not unfamiliar
with the seminary. You see. / was
member of its board for twelve years"

Incident in South India Which Led
to Creation of Another Heather
Shrine.

A new god was created. lately. at Yeral.
a small town near Palamcotta. in south
India This is the story. as related by
an Indian clergyman on the staff Of the
Church Missionary Society:
"A woman, servant Of an important
man of the town. who knew something of
m edicine and could treat simple cases,
had some boils and was under her mas
ter's treatment for some DAYS Before
she was quite cured her doctor died of
cholera. and was buried In her great
sorrow and disappointment the woman
used to go to his grave and weep over
IL She says that her master appeared
To her in a dream and advised her to go
and take some clay from his grave and
rub it over her boils. She did this, and
was cured.
This news spread like an epidemic.
The father of the deceased. and some rel
atives, decided to make god of the dead
man. They inclosed the grave with iron
bars, and heaped carloads of clay near
the foot of it, to be used as medicine.
A managing committee has been formed.
who arrange to collect the offerings: a
bazaar has been opened, and gaslight pro-
vided, and thus the grave. under the
shade of many lofty trees. has been made
a shrine, and is visited by thousands Of
pilgrims.

Evening Settlement.

At the close, when commencing with the
latest ones that he had engaged. the mas
ter started to pay them as they came
weary and sweat-stained from their toll
in the vineyard amidst possibly a south
east storm that swept over the land with
its hot dry and dust-laden wind that
.. made even those who had toiled only for
the last hour glad that the day was over.
All those who had responded to the op-
portunity for service and had worked
faithfully were rewarded by their en-
ployer with the same amount that those
who had been employed at the beginning
had agreed to work for during the day.
They had expected fair treatment and
trusted their employer without even rails
ing the question of compensation. He.
knowing that they had done all that they
could, and possibly understanding their
needs paid them all what was then the
living or minimum wage. not because
they deserved more than the others. but
because in his judgment he wished to
give them all the same.
There was a constant complaint among
all that had been paid In accordance
with their agreement against those who
worked only part Of the day receiving
the same as they had agreed for the
day The employer, who was unwilling
that any should go away dissatisfied.
argued with those who complained. show
ing them that he had dealt with them
according to promise and with others ac-
cording to grace Of his pleasure.
Work done in a spirit of compulsion has
no standing in the kingdom Of God This
parable finds constant illustration in life
and We must learn the lesson that be-
cause of lack of proper motives those
that have been leading going back
ward. and because they have the proper
spirit Of self-sacrifice. surrender and serv-
ice many that have been down and out
are today becoming leaders Of men The
first shall be last and the last shall be
first
All the complaining is against God for
the manifestation OF His mercy toward
men. paying them more than We think
they are worth. Every faultfnder re-
veals his own character by his criticism

"maketh His sun to rise on the evil and

Gibson has pointed out in the EXPOSE
tors Bible that besides the lesson OF

lesson Of announcement to the little ones

None Need Be Friendless.


But there Is a still higher way of show
ing ourselves friendly. 1t is by kindly
deeds. ACTIONS speak louder than
words" 1t Is by deeds of kindness more
than in any other way that we show our
selves friendly and infallibly win to our
selves friends.
How infinitely precious are the friend
ships of earth. Charles Lamb expressed
the thought in many a heart in saying:
You know not my supreme happiness at
having one on earth whom 1 can call
friend"
Without a friend life is unbearable, but
there is no need for any one to be friend
less. There is a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother
The greatest of all friends is God. and
If we show ourselves friendly to Him in
the same way we show 1t to our neighbor,
by our looks words and actions. He will
be our never failing friend.
The friendships of men and women are
very precious the friendship Of God is a
transcendent possession, and the friend
ships of both heaven and earth come to
all who show themselves friendly to
God and to men. No one need be friend
less. All may, IL they. will, sing from the
heart:
I've found Friend oh, such q Friend!
He loved me ere l knew Him;
He drew ME with the cords Of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely Irvine
Those ties which naught can saver,
For am His and He Is mine
Forever and forever.

BALTIMORE. July Rev. DR.. ].
Ross Stevenson, who during the week
accepted the presidency of Princeton
Theological Seminary, chatted in
formally today about his plans and
policies and the spirit and ideals Of
the ministry. His views were not as
complete as he would have desired. for
the reason that he did not feel at liberty
to express all of the program he had
formulated in his mind, because it still
remains for the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church to ratify the
choice Of DR.. Stevenson.
But DR.. Stevenson did express de-
cided views on several subjects of deep
interest and concern to Presbyterians.
This big man, who carries his forty
eight years as though they. only
amounted to a score and ten. who be-
iieves in the smiling face and who has
no time for those who take all life as
they would a dose of bitter medicine.
was enthusiastic about the great field
of usefulness that would be his as pres
ident Of the most influential Presby-
terian seminary in America.

Not to Take Active Part In Confer

ence on Faith and Order.
On the eve OF Bishop Rhinelander's de-
parture for Europe Thursday 1t was
learned that the diocesan does not go as
an active member OF the deputation that
will present the cause of the world con-
ference on Faith and Order to the heads
of the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox.
Lutheran and other great churches on the
continent
The bishop goes, it is said, as con-
sultive member Accompanied by Mrs.
Rhinelander and their two boys, he sailed
for England Friday morning.
A friend of the diocesan Is authority
for the statement that shortly after. the
convention Bishop Rhinelander withdrew
as an active member Of the deputat1on.
and the Ri. Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster.
Bishop of Connecticut, was appointed In
his place.
The bishop withdrew, 1t is said. partly
because he did not desire to be separated
from his family for an extended period.
and partly because he desired to return
and take up his work in the diocese Of
Pennsylvania at the earliest possible
date.

left their company, by saying to the
Lord: "See, we have done what that
followed Thee: what then shall We have?"
Christ answered the question of Peter
by promising rewards to the apostles far
greater than they had dreamed of ever
receiving, and He then sought to correct
the wrong spirit that evidently was back
Of the apostles question. There was a
germ of self-complacency at work in
Peters heart that must be crushed out
now before it brought disaster to the
apostolic band.
The faithful Master must speak the
message Of warning SO as to show them
their danger before 1t was too late. In
the words that close the preceding chap
ter as VEL as this lesson we have mes
sage Of warning that furnishes US the
key to the understanding of this para Die
and which caused Christ to speak the
message of the laborers in the vineyard.
There are several different methods of
deciding the value of the services of men.
Some would favor piece rate, paying by
the amount of work done. Others realize
that good work and true work is worth
more than the amount Of work, so they
would favor settlement by the character
Of the work done.
Another method. which appears to be
the one followed by the one who judges
by the heart and not outward appear
ances is that which considers the motives
or the spirit of service. The danger, as
we saw in our former study. was that
the spirit that prompted their sacrifices
was of such a nature that the one who
was first in sacrifices and service. might,
because of his false motives. be last In the
judgment of God. who has called us into
His service and who has more than one
method in employing servants.
