The names of professional evangelists
of the country are to be placed on
register, and an effort be made to place
them as salaried officials of the general
church work, according to an inter-
denominationalm movement which is now
being organized.
According to the ideas of those in
charge the thank offering method of
reimbursing evangelists to the minds
of many of the leaders gives them too
much Some successful leaders in

Young Mems Christian Associations of Country Forge Ahead
of This Record Mark-Sum of $13,OOO|OOO Was
Spent Past Year to Maintain Various Plants.

$4,000. Associations are doing much
better than formerly in getting young
men into membership in the churches.
The increase has been 3S per cent In
two years.
The total association membership Is
62O79S, of which more than half are
men and boys under twenty years of
age. Eighty-three thousand seven
hundred young men are in educational
classes.
In the social work there was similar
gain in most lines. For example,
153.s00 men are in the association dor
mitories. and last year employment
was found for 5a,257. Visits to young
men who were i'll were made to the
number of 41.767. In physical train
ing no fewer than 447. 900 are enrolled.
The association report, to be issued
next week. will show the work to have
prospered last year better than it's
leaders dared to hope that 1t might
do when the year opened. Some small
associations went to the wall owing
to war conditions. but on the whole
there was gain such as few normal

Foreign and Home Missions.

There are study courses provided both
on foreign missions and home missions
for classes conducted by the depart
rnent of world evangelism, and the text
books are particularly strong on these
subjects. 1t is not SO long ago that
missions were the subject OF ridicule
from all &ides. and church members
were almost ashamed to be interested
In them, but the opening up to the rest
of tire world OF India. Africa, Japan and
China and the other great and marvel
ous Accomplishments Of the missionary
efforts OF the last fifty years have won
the worlds respect and admiration. But
1t required knowledge Of missions
to inspire these efforts. and 1t Will re-
quire greater knowledge and more COM
plete education of ali people. both in
and out Of the church, to bring about
the completion OF tho missionary tasks
of Christ's church.
The courses in social service are also
especially strong, and the constantly
consrontinz the church sud society de-
mands that they be met with the best
of education along these lines.
No tczt looks have been prepared Tor
the fourth department. along the lines
Of recreation: and culture, but those
who attended the Washington District
Institute at Mountain Lake Park this
summer will never lose the vision OF
opportunity for service through theee
channels that was opened up by the
Coy. This service. too. requies educa-
tion as well as conservation. and
study course should be provided along
these lines for leaguers everywhere.
The four Scripture references given to
introduce this topic all contradict the
Idea. popular in some places, that God
hides Himself and His workings from
finite minds. They speak of a God who
reveals Himself in a way that men can
study and grasp--who SO wanted men
to learn to understand Him. that He
not only spoke to them through His
word. but even gave His Son to be
living revelation for ever. It Is for
Gods children, therefore, to study these
that they may learn to know
Him, and fulfill His purpose.
Heaven is not gained at 4 single bound,
But We build the ladder BY which We rise
And we mount to Its summit round BY round.

PLANS ON FOOT TO MAKE EVANGELISTS
SALARIED OFFICERS IN WORK OF CHURCH

Results Will Be Realized.

rian Church is chairman of Il subcom-
mittee on field and methods Of work.
which is at work investigating and
classifying the professional eVangelists
OF the country.
What is considered to be of far
greater Importance than the ''credential
work" among the eyangelists is the
nation wide campaign inausurated by
the evangelistic commission to develop
new evangeliStic leaders and organize
interdenominational evangeliStic CAM
paigns throughout the United States.
The plan is to conduct an extended
evangelistic campaign in district like
Lackawanna county, for instance. with
all evangelical churches cooperating
under the leadership of n frst-clasS
evangelist, who, instead of receiving
thank offering, will be engaged on q
three-year contract at fixed salary.
Experts in evangelistic work say that
far better results will be obtained by
this method than by tabernacle meet
ings. Larger areas will be covered and
the work will be more thorough.
Church leaders assert that the large
accessions received in nearly all evan
gelical churches during the last few
years, combined with the remarkable
development of evangelistic work, has
been due, in considerable measure, to
the campaign that has been quietly
conducted by the Federal. Councils
evangelistic commission. Three years
ago less than half a dozen denomina-
tions had special committees to pro-
mote a nationwide campaign of evan
gelisn, in their churches. Today twen-
ty-siI Of the largest and most innu-
entia! denominations have such COM
mittees.
The Baptist. Methodist EPISCOPAL.
United Presbyterian, Re-
formed. Congregational. Moravian,
Welsh Presbyterian ana
many others are in line. Practically
the only denominations which have not
yet appointed committees are the Prot
estant Episcopal Church and few OF
the Lutheran bodies.
AS a result of its nationwide evan
gelistic, campaign the Presbyterian
Church in the United States had $4,000
accessions last year. In 1911, when the
began their evangelistio
campaign. $4,000 accessions were re-
ported In 1912 they had $4,000: IN

WORLD SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
NOT TO BE HELD IN TOXIC IN 1916
European Delegations Cannot Attend and London Office Is
Not Able to Recruit Deegates-Count Okuma of Japan.
Chairman of Convention, Will Announce New Date

The European war has brought about a
postponement Of the date of the world
Sunday school convention that was to have
been held in Toxic next year.
The postponement is declared to be
necessary because European delegations
cannot attend. and because the London
office. which had charge of recruiting con-
tinental delegates, could not enter upon
the work.
The importance Of the movement is
shown by the fact that at the last con-
vention ffty-eight nations sent delegates.
and for the Toxic one now over 5000
persons have already asked for informa-
ton with view of attending. The state
ment Is now made that 1t will be held in
Toxic. Immediately upon the close Of the
war.
Children Of America, under inspiration
OF this same Sunday school movement,
have thus far sent $4,000 New Testa-
ments to soldiers in the European battle
fields. These have been in many Ian
guages. and some Of them have gone out
bearing the imprint and message from
the Russian czarowitz.
Pathetic stories are told about deaths
OF soldiers on fields, and messages sent
home to friends. accompanied often by
these Testaments Now appeal is made
to grown-ups Of all America to the end
'ie. ohe miAion new Ie6tamentS may be
procured and distributed in trenches.
Count Okuma, prime minister Of Japan,
IL chairman of the convention that is
later to be held in Toxic and 1t is he
who will announce tie date Of its holding
when the war ends. Marion Lawrence,
secretary of the International Sunday
school Association, is one of the lead
ers In the work. Mr.. T. A. Hostetler
Is president of the District of Columbia
Sunday School Association, which as
yet has not chosen delegates to the
world convention.
