Religious Work

Belgium Y. M. c. A. Needy.
Not the least of the misfortune which
the war has caused in Belgium is tho
almost complete ruin of the y NJ. E. A.
work in that country. The Brussels Y.
NJ. c. A. had before the war several
hundred members and was beginning
to play an important part in the reli-
gious life of the city. Its effectiveness
was due largely 10 the enterprise OF
the two foreign sections, German and
Anglo-American, which disappeared
entirely at the outbreak of the war;
and as millions Of Belglans are wholly
or partially objects of charity, the so-
ciety is now almost absolutely withouc
funds. Mr.. Van Duynen. the Brussels
secretary, last February was found
without a fire.

Funds For Church History.
At the annual meeting of the Ameri4
can Society of Church History in the
Union Theological seminary in New
York the Rev. o. II. Pannkoke, execu<
tive secretary of the reformation quad>
ricentenary committee, presented pas
per in which he urged that the society
raise an endowment fund Ito advance
sound scholarship in the study of
church history in this country"
"This nation has become wealthy,
through the misfortunes of Europe"
he said. 1T is the duty of this nation
TO use some of the gold which has en-
riched it to take over the tasks of Eu-
ropean scholarship which the war has
destroyed
In urging that the society try to raise
an endowment fund for church history
publications DR.. William Walker Rocks
well of Union Theological seminary,
secretary of the society, pointed QUO
that the government and various states
aid the American Historical association
and various state historical societies.,
but that there was no such aid for
church history. He thought the society
should publish impartial histories of
the development of religion in this
country and foster research work in
the providing of material.
The society decided to try to raise
100000 to start both the publication
and research fund and the fund to
stimulate scholarship. The Rev DIR.
S. w. Loetscher of Princeton Theolog-
zeal seminary was appointed chairman
of the committee to conduct the cam
paign for the fund. At the election OF
officers DR.. David Schley Schaff of the
Western Theological seminary in Pitts
burgh, son of the founder of the socis
ETY., the late Philip Schaff. was elected
president to succeed DR.. Edward Pay
son Johnson.

JOY.R1D1NG

This country is consuming crude pa
troleum at the rate of 1856 ,OOO, 1000 bar
rels a year, and, as the annual pro-
duct is now only 100000 900 barrels,
the reserve surplus is being exhausted.
Production must increase or consump-
ton mus decrease. AS the possibili-
ty of the former is regarded as very
doubtful, the latter appears to be a
necessity. Therefore the Advisory
Commission of the Council of Nation
al Defense, realizing the need of con-
servation, has issued the following
warning: pleasure riding should be
curtailed. People should look upon
their automobiles as necessities to be
used only when needed. Not a gallon
of gasoline should be used in the pres
ent emergency except for some useful
end"
Many thousands of Americans, in
response to Mr.. Hoover's appeal, are
now using less wheat flour than for
merly. This is a harder task than the
cutting down of the consumption of
gasoline by curtailing mere pleasure
riding, for all over the country pleas
ue riding is done to excess. All ne.-
essary uses of the automobile could
continue, ven regular family pleas
ure outings might not be interrupted,
and still the consumption of gasoline
could be greatly cut down if excessive
and needless joy-riding could be check
ed. There r thousands of car own
ers who are unwilling to stretch their
legs in order to do an errand two OF
three squares away. There are hun
dred of thousands of young folks who
joy-ride the whole evening throughout
the open season. They may be seen
dashing carlessly around in every
town of this country, and the observe,
often wonders when their prodigeous
appetite will be appeased. A vast
saving could be accomplished without
hardship to any one, and veen., with
benefit az a result of variation in
amusement, if the victims of immod-
eraet joy-riding could be induced to
heed the appeal.
