is only one item in the aggregation ot
churches that were cooperating
namely, fifty.
L am sure anyone of the co-operat-
ing ministers will give you an entirely
different story, and the ministers to-
day are cooperating together as they
never co-operated before. There are
less of denominational lines between
them than has ever existed.
The police courts have been notably
diminished, so much so as to be no.
t1ced from time to time by the daily
papers and the general complaint with
the liquor men is that their business
has been put on the bum by the
slough campaign. This, ] believe, YOU
VIII hear from any of those who were
directly interested, or indirectly, in the
campaign as it went on in Harrisburg.
The matter is growing instead of di-
mlnishing, so far as interest in the
churches is concerned. And am sure
Harrisburg is away ahead through the
campaign"
Another elder OF the Pine Street
presbyterian Church and superinten-
per OF its churches, among them our
Pine Street Presbyterian Church. have
received a great inspiration and spir-
ltual upltft through the work of DR.
I1enry w. Slough. / was one of the
number who, in the beginning of DR.
Stoughs s campaign, questioned the wis
dom of some of his methods. The cam
palgn was not very old before | made
up my mind that DIR. Slough knew bet
ter than did how to do the great
work in which he was engaged. His
methods brought results.
AS an example, l give the follow
ing: The afternoon meetings at the
tabernacle were held at the same time
as our Sunday school service Our
Sunday school attendance was shot to
pieces. A certain member of our Sun
day school who was opposed to the
campaign told the writer that DR..
slough had broken up our Sunday
school, A few Sundays after the close
of the campaign the attendance at our
school Gone of the largest in the city
of large Sunday schools) went up to
high water mark.
Our church has received many ac-
cessions to its membership. Including
those to be admitted within the next
few days / should say that the num-
Der OF new members as O. direct result
of the campaign is about eighty The
indirect influence has been great, but
hard to measure.
Il should say further that only one
Lutheran church in the city co-operat-
ed in the campaign. The Rev. s. w.
Herman was bitterly opposed to it. |
do not mean to say that DIR. Slough
made no mistakes. I do believe that
he was unfair to the ministers, and
went too far in his attacks on them.
Some of the methods of personal work
grated on me, but l went to the meet
lngs and assisted because ! believed
that great good was being accomplish
ed. Dr. Nudge, pastor of Pine Street
Church, and / agree exactly in the
views which L have expressed"
j. Z. Dare, who purchased the local
tabernacle after the close of the cam
paign, has been assured by the Read
ing company that they will purcha sc
1t as soon as arrangements for a site
are completed.
The Reading committee will pay
about $4,000 for the structure 1t will
require about fifteen cars to haul the
material from here to Reading. It Is
planned to start on the erection of the
tabernacle about March l.

FOR CHARITY WORK
Associated Charities Board Needs
More Money; Meets Monday
Evening

Plans for raising additional funds
for the Associated Charities of Steel
ton will be discussed at a meeting of
the charities board in the headquar-
ters in the Steelton Trust building
Monday evening.
While the association still has a
tidy fund on hand for relief work, the
board is looking ahead in order to
avoid any deficiency that may arise.
DR.. j. A. McCurdY. a member of the
board, this morning explained that
there have been many more appli-
cations for aid during the present
month than for some time past.
while by careful handling of our
money we have been able to care for
all cases. he said, I'VE don't have
any more money than we can use, and
we would like to receive more contri-
buttons. Anyone who desires to con-
tribute to the Associated Charities
should mail check to w. Ii. Nell.

that of cashier. He is survived by
his wife and four children.
Yesterday j. Nj. Logan, United States
bank examiner, was at Richland, this
county, ON q tour of bank inspections,
and Binner knew he was coming to
Schaefferstown to-day. This morning
the examiner started an investigation
into the affairs Of the institution, but
it is stated has not as yet discovered
any discrepancies in the books.
Binner left note to his wife in
which, it is said, he gave a reason for
killing himself, but the contents of
the letter have not been made public.
Lebanon, Pa, Feb. 6.-It is alleged

lists a long time yet to create feel
ing of confidence among South Amer
leans, is the opinion of the car COM
pany president.
You can't expect to develop this
great field in a day or a year." he de-
clared. Why England alone has $780,
900, 900 invested in Argentine Repub-
tic. And 1T took years to build up such
investments. Now If Americans would
enter the field they will have to fight
for every bit of commerce they have
at the end of this war"
Mr.. King suggested that there was
considerable to be gained by both
Americas if more commerce was in
terchanged. I'VE need a lot of things
that they have south of u.s." he said,
"and there is a lot that we might sell"
Expects Further Orders
The present system of teaching geo.
graphy in the public schools of the
United States was decried by the car
company president. why when L
studied in school l got the idea that
South America was inhabited by a lot
of heathens and when l entered this
business l was adversely handicapped
by the ideas concerning the country
had instilled into me while in
school"
Asked whether his company expect
ed more large South American orders
in the immediate future, President
King smiled and said, We'll we have
our plant enlargements nearly COM
pleted and expect to get some orders.
believe this country is too big to
suffer much longer from such a de-
preston as we Just went through
Things are going to boom / believe
and our improvements were timed in
the expectation that we would share
in the natural increased business that
is bound to follow this war"
Mr.. King also declared that the
great burden of legislation recently
imposed upon the Industrial corpora
tions of the country had considerable
to do with the business depression.
MANY of our so-called reformers
lost sight of the fact that the per-
sons who must pay for every increase
in the cost of production is the con-
sumer--who is the working man.
There has been too much experimental
legislation"

The Rev. Mr.. Richter, pastor OF n
Reading Lutheran church was the first
to come out openly against the propos-
ed campaign. He gave as his reasons:
81 learn for myself. ] went to Har-
risburg to a minister whom / am per-
sonally acquainted with, who was one
of the leaders of the campaign. He
said he would never join a movement
again of this kind; that sore was
caused in the churches that 1t will
take years to heal.
Gross Defends Campaign
EX-Mayor Edward u. Gross, chair
man of the Harrisburg executive COM
mittee, on the other hand, defended
the campaign in the statement which
in part follows:
Your letter of yesterday is just at
hand, and | hasten to reply because
of the absolute misrepresentation
which Mr.. Richter has given in your
clipping as to the part a Lutheran
pastor took and his attitude. In the
dent of one of the largest Sunday
schools in the State, Henry B. Nc
Cormick, writes:
1.-THE city of Harrisburg and a num-
first place all the Lutheran ministers,
except Mr.. Reisch, the minister of
Christ Church, on Allison Hill. oppos-
ed the campaign and the pastor re-
ferred to by Mr.. Richter preached
against it before DR.. Slough came to
Harrisburg.
''IIe was in direct opposition in
every way to the whole thing. He
didn't go into it and so far as L know
didn't know anything about it. He
says that sore was caused in the
churches that 1t will take years to
heal. This only goes to show that he
didn't know the true inwardness of
the thing, and so far as sore in the
churches was concerned, as executive
chairman of the campaign, | don't
know where it exists.
One Minister Offended
"On the other hand, through a mis-
first of all, between the
churches and Mr.. Cartwright, Dr.
Stoughs manager, as to the matter of
closing churches on Sunday and Sum
day schools, there was feeling between
That toward the end was completely
covered except in the case of a Meth
odist minister, who was offended at
DR.. Slough personally. So far as that
conflicting in any way with tho gen.
eral work of the campaign, results
show differently.
There were in all over 1000 con-
verts. Our church has received, and
is still receiving, members from the
effects of it to the number of over 100.
All the other churches have received
a like benefit, and some of them Lu-
theran churches, in spite of their an
tagonism. At our Bethany branch and
at Pine Street Church we have ample
evidence of the good work.
The Rev. John Warden, at Beth
any, has in hand now at least twenty
two of the Shamrock Hose Company
men, who hit the trail and have join
ed the Pine Street church. And this
