An unprecedented situation obtains this
spring and summer in regard to vacations
of minister's especially Protestant ones.
As a rule cabins of Atlantic liners In
April. May and June are filled with
American preachers.
1t is reported that few venturesome
ministers specially interested in peace
may try to get to London and there hold
a conference. Beyond that, however. no
ministers can be found who purpose going
to Europe. Archbishops and bishops Of
the Roman Catholic Church are not to
make required visitations to Rome this
wear, and unless the Pope dies none Of
the three cardinals Of that church will go
to Italy.
Inquiry among well known ministers
brings the information that great numbers
are going to Maine and Massachusetts. to
the Jersey coasts. to the chautauquas. and
are buying and leasing mountain cottages.

With the approval Of Secretary Of
War Garrison and Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels, arrangements have been
perfected for the converting of a con-
gress Of the Roman Catholic army and
navy chaplains-the second of It's kind
ever held in the history of the coun-
try.
The congress will meet in San Fran
cisco during tho week of July 20. when
it is hoped that the Atlantic fleet. on
lains are assigned, will be in the har-
Dor. It will be composed OF chaplains
in both arms of the service. and is be-
Ing held at the request Of the chap
1ains themselves.
The main object OF the congress Is to
discuss a number of important ques-
lions connected with a chaplain's du-
ties, and it is pointed out that, as
great results have always been accom-
plished by organization. the coming to-
gether of these priests from far and
near for a mutual exchange of views
and experiences cannot help but in
crease the efficiency of the Catholic
chaplain corps.
The congress will open with a solemn
high mass, at which an eminent digni-
tary of the church will make the adj
dress.
To make the work effective. it has
been planned that individual papers be
prepared and read on some of the more
important topics (the chaplains having
the subjects assigned them in advance).
Discussion will follow. and the authors
of the respective papers will be ex-
pected to answer all questions referring
to the subject.
Among the papers to be read and dis
cussed are the following:

of and time to hold divine service in

Peculiar characteristics,

1T is not primarily our Joy. 1t is
the Joy Of Lord (Neh.. s:1o). When
we take on the Lord Jesus Christ, His
joy and all that Is His becomes ours.
It IS to Joy that He specially calls US
and graciously promises to impart to
US. The wondrous characteristic of the
Christians joy is that 1t is not only
from Him, but to be realized in Him.
This shows the vital union between
Christ and the believer.
