markable for variety and value as well
as for beauty, making it of interest
equally from the viewpoint of the dem
drologist and the lumberman. In the
coves are found the light shades Of
the green of the poplar and the bass
wood; little higher up the oak and
beech of the darker hue, all of which
are intcrsperscd with the still darker
foliage OF the hemlock. The artist
is greatly enraptured with his first
view of the mountains of this state,
for they run into each other at nll an
giles, and the different shades OF green
which appeal to him in summer, give
way in the autumn to yellow, red and
russell brown, and are so blended in
these rich and diverse shades as to
enlist his deepest admiration and baf-
file his effort to reproduce them ade-
uuately on his canvas.

entitled to all Of its endowments or not,
on the ground that it teaches one theol-

another. declares that IL will finish its
task this year and give up part Of its
summer vacation TO do 1t in. Its chair
man, the Rev. DR.. John F. Carson. IS
writing vigorously on the conservative
side.
The thing that precipitated the
summer activity was the bequest OF the
late Mrs. Morris X Jesup, Of New York,
TO the Union seminary of 100000 on
condition that IL teach the Bible in its
plain English version. minus higher
criticism Conservatives are saying
that this condition well represents the

Heresy Controversy Grows Heated.

THWO Episcopal church bishops are
just now targets for severe at
taclxs. Both take the Low church
side and the attacks come from the
High church one. Bishop Lawrence, Of
Massachusetts,, advised in his official
address to his Diocesan convention in
Nay that Episcopal churches in his
diocese admit TO the Holy communion
persons Of other Christian faiths. He
argued that a Common Prayer book
law, seeming to forbid such course,
really has different meaning, and gave
historic data to prove his contention
He said such has been the rule in Mas
saehusetts from earliest times.
Bishop Rhinelander, Of Pennsylvania,
cooperating with some Philadelphia
rectors, gave permission for Presby-
terrain and other ministers to speak
from an Episcopal pulpit. The reasons
put forward were q desire TO try out
church unity, the Episcopal church
prlding itself on being a leader IN that
movement, and the conviction that the
ministers directly affected have Chris

AMERICANS MUST SPEND

AMEhlIANS NJ 81 SEEND
MORE FOR RELIGIOUS WORK
Many summer conferences this month
and next are taking up the plans set
forth for all churches for the coming
autumn and the entire year Of 1915
( These plans relate to the social mes
sage Of Christianity and are backed
by the general and WOmen's home and
foreign mission boards. Unity Of ac-
ton such as never before obtained
among Protestant bodies is behind the
enterprise. President Faunce, Of Brown
/ university, president Matthews, Of the
Federal council, former indian commits
siOner Leupp and others have prepared
text books and the Missionary Educa-
ton Movement is directing the earlier
information details
The arguments being presented at
the summer conferences are to the ef-
feet that America is the richest nation
on earth, twice over. and that Chris
tians OF this nation have never yet
really put their money into Christian
work. All they have put in is mere
spare change, so 1t is alleged Ten, a
hundred as much as has yet been done
the American people are capable OF
doing. The plans now TO the fore. in
augurated this summer and entered
upon in earnest next October, aim to
compel Christians to realize what they
can do when they try.
The new plans differ from the old in
that they put into effect the ambitions
OF all missionary agencies. and seek to
make OF each church, not a place to
which people are invited to come and
hear able sermons and fine music, but
a dynamo that sends out workers
charged with knowledge and zeal The
old conventions and mass meetings are
tabOed. and each congregation is
turned into a school where personal en-
