METHODISTS LEAD IN NEW
LINE OF EDUCATION

Methodists of this country are leading
all other Methodists and all other Chris
tian bodies in new line of religious
education. The move is made by the
foreign board of Methodists north, which
has just named the Rev. DIR. l.. o. Hart
man to organize such education in all
mission fields maintained by Methodists
of America The Rev. DR.. Hartman is
graduate of Ohio Wesleyan university
and received his philosophy degree from
Boston university. He has been a leader
in Sunday school work in Ohio for a
short time.
Conferences with religious education
leaders here are now to be held Meet
ings will also be held with student volun-
teer leaders, and then the Rev. DR. Hart
man will go round the world to study
needs of the education he is set to ad-
vance. Methodsts appointed the first re-
ligious education superintendent in for
eign field, and have now under instruc-
tion young men who are later to be
named heads of these fields. In this
line of work American Methodists are
also leading. The plan is to furnish mis-
sion field superintendents of Sunday
school work. and the broader work of
religious education, for India, South
America, the Philippines, all under the
general direction of the Rev. DR.. Hart
man. So far as known. this is the first
step of it's kind ever taken by any mis-
sion board.

1t is announced that this new COM
mission with headquarters in Milwau-
kee. VIII not try to organize new com
missions in Catholic dioceses but will
limit its work for the present to news
and literature. the aim being to crystal
lize Catholic sentiment In favor of such
work. 1t is proposed little later to
hold conferences In different cities and
eventually to establish, If possible a
school of social service that will train
national lecturers and workers.
The first literature has lust masa its

cities and some others a marked extern
sion of the number of noon day services
in downtown churches and halls for bnsi-
ness people. Philadelphia is leading with
the changes in the Sunday evening serv-
ices. All cities are extending their noon
day services. carrying them even into the
residence districts. They began in Epis-
copal churches, but are being entered
upon this year by Methodist, Presby-
terian. Congregational and Baptist
churches. where these chance to have
churches in business districts.
The Sunday evening service in Prot
estant churches has long been in the
shape of Sunday afternoon services 80
years ago, when there were three serv-
ices on Sundays or had been. but people
began saying two We're enough. Latter
" they have said that one was enough
The new plan, going in this Lent in large
numbers, is to revive the Sunday after
noon service for sue has desire a strictly
religious service, and TO introduce at
night the programme of the Plea SAINT
Sunday night, so called, long popular in
England That is, the Sunday night serv-
ices is being made, in some severely
orthodox and old-fashioned churches, a
hymn singing. popular tar, and social
night affair often with refreshments be-
fore or after the set programme. The
scheme is reviving interest. and nobody
has been heard to complain about world
illness.
The newest plan in Lenten noon day
services in downtown districts of cities
is bringing famous preachers. usually
from other cities, having them speak for
all moons of given weeks. and seeing to
it that they treat different and prear-
ranged subjects. Thus repetition is avoid
ed. and preachers have opportunity to
present subjects In exhaustive form. To-
tai attendance during Lent in some single
churches now reach $4,000.

PREPARE TO COMBAT
FOLLOWERS OF DIR. AK ED

Believers in the Bible as 1t is, and
opponents of the higher critics, are form
ing Christian leagues in principal cities,
prepared at the hand of some definite
committees, to call to account any min
lister of their respective cities who deny
the divinity of Christ, the virgin birth.
or make any statements similar to those
uttered the other day by the Rev, Dr.
Charles f. Aked of San Francisco. In
Toronto and Los Angeles committees of
100 have been fully organized, and in
New York, Boston and Pittsburg they
have been partly organized. Other cities
where preliminary steps toward organiza-
ton have been taken are Chicago. Cleve
land, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Balti-
more.
The promoters of this plan are the
Bible League of North America, with
headquarters in New York and Toronto.
1t is not a new body, but it is organized
new within month, and new strength
given it in members and finances. Of
ficials in it state that Christian laymen
are sound in the faith, but that many
ministers, some of the foremost rank In
fame and salary, are not sound and are
preaching to the popular ear, saying one
thing today and another thing tomor
row. They declare that publicity is the
eventual cure. and that for them to be
brought to book at once in their own
cities, and the fact that they are so made
known to the country, will soon END
their careers They also declare that
the higher critics have long carried on
a propag ganda of publicity, and that it is
now time the orthodox people took

pie is the formation of these leagues in

TO SEND AMERICAN
PREACHERS TO EUROPE

The church peace union. with its 81
600 900 Carnegie endowment, announces
that 1t is exclusively concerned with
churches all names and with religious
weeklies and church pages of daily
newspapers In matters of peace pub
licity. 1t reminds that there is anoth-
Ell Carnegie peace foundation with $lO,-
100000 endowment, that is to do other
world peace work. This latest union aims
to bring Christian influence to bear and
to do so In largest measure in the Unit
ed States and Canada, in England and
Scotland. and in Germany.
Definite plans of the latest union
await action by committee that meets
at the end of this month, but it Is stated
that these plans are now fairly well in
hand They have several parts. perhaps
the greatest the plan of sending fore
most American and Canadian preachers
to England and to Germany to speak in
churches and before peace committees,
expressing Americas good will and peace
wishes. In turn, English and German
preachers will he brought to this side
the Atlantic. There are strong church
peace unions in both England and Ger
many and the American one will CO.
operate with them.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Is pres
ident of the English peace plans and
the Rev. DIR. Drysander, the Kaiser
nastor is president of the German one.
Some 14O00 ministers belong TO poth OF
these unions The Rev. Dr. II. Z. Sig
mund- Schultz is the active leader In tne
German union and to him Mr.. Carnegie
gave s500O a year for five years at the
time Of the German Emperors jubilee.
This sum enabled him to give up pas
toral work in Berlin and enter active
ly upon peace work. These Engi1sh ana
German unions of ministers were formed
a few years ago when war scares loomed
-. l.,d mn
in driving the scares away. Reciprocal
visits Of deputations some hundreds
strong each, have been made in the re-
spective countries.
