WOULD BROADEN
THEIR SPHERE.

That ministers should assume Lead
ership in other than spiritual mat
tiers and that their scope Of work is
intended to broaden the sphere OF a
happy conscientious life was plainly
set forth in the several addresses
that were heard at the opening ses-
sion of the country life conference
for Maryland minister's which oe-
gan three day meeting at College
Park, Nd, yesterday. 1t was the
opinion of most of the preachers that
the full meaning of Christ's message
was more extensive than merely
preaching the message of salvation
and that those who cling to the lat
ter Interpretation of the call OF the
minister are possessed of selfish
motive, that of self preservation,
which some of the preachers charac-
terized as fire insurance religion.
The late Henry Ward Beecher, T..
Dewitt Talmadge and others acted
upon the principle set forth above.
Beecher believed that politics, cur
rent happenings, etc., should be dis
cussed in the pulpit, and many of his
utterances aided in precipitating the
war between the states. The Metho-
dist and Presbyterian Churches split
on issues which brought on that con-
Aict.
Many students of Christianity nave
been unable to adopt the theory that
the mission of the minister of the
gospel was intended to expand into
other fields. Paul when writing. to the
Corinthians said he determined to
know nothing save Jesus Christ and
Him crucified. The attempts to lnvel-
gle the Great Author Of faith into
political contentious always proved
failures.

TAKING
OF WARSAW.

co,n,on armies nave entered the
abandoned city of Warsaw follow
ing upon rear guard engagement
nv the Russians that has made the
retirement from the Polish capital a
courageous piece Of fine enterprise
and cool strategy. Grand Duke
Nicholas is already hailed by many
military experts as the finest strate-
pist on the east side. AS the days
pass by and the retreat OF the
Russians is maintained with success
FIJI rebuffs to the foe the Germans
will find they have achieved an empty
victory. The retirement of the Rus
slams will enable them to select a
line of defense that will be very much
shorter than that of Warsaw and
without the necessity for centerlng
defense about single unit, as IN
this case.
Those who have been disposed to
predict that the Russians will be vlr-
tually eliminated until next spring
are counting without their host. For
should the Russian Army escape, the
taking of Warsaw will he of no more
strategic advantage than was the
taking of Washington of military
worth TO the British in the War or
1912 or the taking of Manassas b?
the federal army during the civil
war.
Only by giving the Russian Arn,E
crushing blow can the Germans re-
lease a considerable body of troops
for the west front. Otherwise they

JEWS WILL
VIE IN PRAYER

A conference of 80 New York rab-
bis has resulted in the issuance Of
call to the Jews of America to fast
and pray next Monday as a means
of expressing sorrow for conditions
lin Europe and protesting against
"this unnecessary war, which is cost
ing the lives of so many men. Con-
gregations will also pray that "the
war may soon end and that our coun-
try may not be entangled in this wilt
and crazy conflict" Special services,
conducted only on the Day Of Atone
ment, will be held, and the bugle, used
only on holidays, will be sounded.
The announcement concludes as fol.
lows: "A nation will fast. nailol
will mourn, a nation will pray, NAY
the prayers reach the Almighty.
Members of the executive council
of the B'Nai Birth, meeting WHO
met at Atlantic City this week, de.
clared the condition of the Jews in
Russia had not been improved. not
withstanding reports of concessions
at the beginning of the war. Speakers
charged that Jews were being useI
as shields in the trenches.
While Israelites took no part in
bringing en- the present war, as mas
been the case since the birth of the
nation, they are the sufferers, Their
plight in parts of Russia and other
theatres Of carnage has been pitt
full during the past year. They have
refuged from place to place and IN
scriptual language, have had no COZ
tinuing city. They have resolved to
do what they have done in other cri-
teal times in their history-appeai
to Jehovah for relief. 1t is a good
omen.
The purpose outlined above sug-
gests scenes during the days of All
asuerus, when Hannah, the last OF
the Amalekites, planned the exter-
minationtof the Abrahamic race. Il
fast was declared, appeals ascendec
on high. and the intended massacre
miscarried, Hannah falling into the
pit he had, dug for Others.

ance, Of the indignant refusal OF the.
offer because of a wife and a young
child, was revealed yesterday in Mag
istrate Pennock's office in Philadel-

At least three looters were shot
and wounded, and several others
fired on, last night while Erie, Pa,
panic-stricken awaited a second
flood. Rain, which fell in torrents
early in the evening and threatened
to bring more death and destruction,
ceased just before midnight and the
danger of further flood was ended.
The death list resulting from the first
flood was brought up to 26 last
night. The entire city again was
in darkness as the light plant is still
out of commission.
Mrs. Amelia Pig, of Catletts-
burg, Ky, stepped in front of the

drug fend and since the Federal law
went into effect had been frantic IN
her craving. She stood behind tel
egraph pole and as the flyer APP
preached tucked her skirts tightly
about her and jumped to the middle;
of the track. She was in the act OF
sitting down with her back to the en-
CINE when struck.
For more than five days John
Hughes, of New York, went to work,

neck, but did not think it worth while
to investigate. When about to sit
down at the dinner table with his
family soemthing in his neck snap
ped, and he fell to the floor uncon
scious and died. While swimming at
Long Beach Wednesday, Hughes
dived from a jetty and his head hit
a log. He was dazed for a few
and following that felt the
pain in his neck.
