In the midst OF distressing reports
concerning the wide open" condi-
ton OF the town Of Hopcwell, it is good
to learn of such efforts by servant
Of God as are set out in the follow
ing simple letter 10 the Religious
Herald:
After being disappointed in several
lahorious attempts to begin missionary
work at Hopcwcll, l decided that our
only chance was 10 buy lots, so that a
Baptist preacher might have place
to stand on and preach. Accordincly,
on the first day OF the sale ot lots
having previously selected the lots T
desired. / went alone TO Hopcwell and
bought four lots. 100 feet front. with
and nifty feet 10 preachers dwelling

sion board offered TO lend me $500 with
out interest. That being better than
borrowing from bank and losing the
discount, ! accepted. gave my note
for the morey, paid for the lots and
hoped to have the work immediately

cncroa chmert of business houses on
the lots purchased caused me to sell

Yesterday. having paid the note to

committee OF the Petersburg churches
rnal estate and money amounting TO
$4,000 without q contribution from any
source, excepting &c from the Youngest,
the Monumental Baptist Church of Re-
tersburg. I think ii is fair to return
this. excepting some railroad fare. etc
My impression is that the commit
tee, after settling with Nh Eprcs for
small balance on the lot last rur-
chased. will erect n cheap. temporary
building on the broadway lot, and
subsequently sell that lot. now worth
$1,000 for. Il may be $4,000 and build
brick house on the permanent site.
Diligence on their part will enable
them TO secure a lot adjoining the last
purchased lot. fronting or the "River

NEW YORK SCHOOLS PLAN
TEACHING OF RELIC 10

a system of teaching religion in the
public schools. initiated in New York
City, is considered Of great Importance
and will be watched with much inter-
est by churchmen all over the country.
Last season one school department in
the Bronx, consisting of pupils to the
number of 1000. dismissed the chill
drcn for a period of eighty minutes,
three times week sending them to
the churches of then parents to be
instructed by their ministers or
priests. 1t is reported to have work
cd so satisfactorily that the scheme is
to be continued on n larger scale the
coming school year. a central school
has been fixed upon in each OF the
boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn and
the Bronx The initial enterprise was
carried on under the direction OF Rev.
G.. u. Wenncr, OF the Lutheran Church
4 conference OF a hundred representa-
tives of religious bodies has recently
been held in which an organization
has been formed. with Bishop Court
ney. of the Episcopal Church, as chair
man. to pursue the experiment. Church
leaders of every name are agreed as
TO the necessity of some Bible train
ing In the public school. Ex-President
Taft has suggested n period In which
religion may be taught at the option
of the pupils or their parents. 1t Is
n notable fact that large number OF
the children of professedly Christian
parents are growing up sadly ignor-
ant of the Bible. Churchmen may in.
duigc themselves at least In tho hope
that some such scheme as this may
solve the problem.

MANY CHANGES TAKE PLACE
IN CATHOLIC BISHOPRICS
Unusual Mortality Among Roman Pre-
lnte% Necessitates Naming OF Bish-
ops in Number of Dioceses

Many changes are taking place in Ro-
man Catholic bishoprlcs. due to an I'M
usual mortality among prelates OF dis
tinction. a new archbishop of San
Francisco has lately been named, and
now another must he appointed in place
of the late Archbishop Quigley. of Chi
cago. OF two auxiliary bishops for
Chicago, Bishop Rhode has been re-
Gently assigned to the Green Bay do
cese. The late archbishop was promot-
ed from Bishop OF Buffalo. and it is
reckoned certain that some bishop from
outside the Chicago province will be
promoted to that important see.
Catholic bishops have recently been
named for Salt Lake. FL Paso and Green
Bay as noted and a coadjutor. n not
usual form in the Catholic Church in
America, for Grand Rapids The do
ceses Of Buffalo and Covington are va
cant, and that of Albany has Just been
filled by the assignment as Bishop of
Albany Of Auxiliary Bishop Cusack of
New York.
Selections OF these prelates are made
by irrcmovable rectors and diocesan
consulters, who recommend three can
didates and designate their order of
preference. These go to the bishops Of
the province, the archbishop presiding,
and this body may either approve or
select three other names. Sometimes
one or two Of the names are chosen.
oftener the first three are agreed upon
and Endorsed. Names then go to the
Vatican through the apostolic delegate
at Washington. Usually the Vatican
takes the recommendation of the arch
bishop Of the province. Until few
years ago the United States was adj
ministered as missionary field. but
now it stands at the Vatican on the
same footing in administrative affairs
as France. Austria and the other ma
lions long organized.
