PARK STREET CHURCH.

Interesting plans are on foot for sermons, lectures, and cooperative lines of religious, social and civic use- fitness at Park Street Congregational church this autumn.
 Rev. Gerald H. Beard, the minister at Park street, has returned to his pulpit and work, and will off1ciate at the communion service tomorrow morning. The subject of the com munion address will be, "The Faith That Makes Faithful" It is hoped that all resident members will make a point of being present. Strangers will find free pews and warmhearted peo- pie ready to welcome them.
 The quartet choir under the di- rection of SuperTsn1 of Music Clyton P. Stevens have also returned iron. vacations, and will sing at the service tomorrow morning. This is one of the most successful quartets Park Street Church has had, and includes Mrs. Weidenhammer, soprano; Miss Katharine Richards, contralto; George L. Moore, tenor, and. Clarence J. Lavey, bass.
 The Sunday school, which for this month at any rate will meet before church at 9:45, makes promotions to new grades and courses tomorrow. Supt. Roy E. Clark expects every member to be on hand to find his place and associates for the coming year. The school is advancing. Word has been sent out, Move on and up with the school"
 Evening service will be resumed the latter part of this month, and great things are in store for this Pleasant Sunday Evening Hour" for all people. Detailed announcements will be made later. but it is known al- ready that two well known speakers are to be heard at a great mission service the last of the month, and that the choir is expecting to present a splendid cantata at the Rally Day Praise Service.

DIR. DAY AGAIN IN
 UNITED CHURCH PULPIT

Using as his text His Blood-Red Banner Streams Afar, Who Follows in his Train" from the great hymn "The Son of God Goes Forth to War" Dr. Wm. Horace Day will preached at the United Church Sunday morning on the subject His Blood-Red Banner" This is Dr. Days first Sunday in the United Church pulpit after a varied and busy vacation season. The mod ern city pastor spends a good part of his vacation in reading and study in preparation for the winters work for which he has little opportunity when church activities are at their full. This year, owing to the absence of many pastors, he has preached in a number of pulpits and has done war work, Christian Association and Pill grim Memorial speaking.
 The army is a national organization for military victory. The church is a national organization for spiritual victory. Because America saw the gleam of the blood-red banner, at President Wilson's call it responded April 9th, 1917, and entered the war. A second great response was the day of registry a year ago for the selec- tive draft. Last Thursday was an other hour of national decision. Ihe people once more saw the blood-red banner which streams afar and all the men from eighteen to forty-fve are now registered. AS the army at the front is following that banner for military victory, the church at home must see and follow the blood-red
 banner, and to citizen and Christian
 alike the greatest of all questions is the question of the hymn "Who fol lows in His train?"

sibility of using the state council sys- tenn so as to prevent duplication? A better understanding on this point throughout Washington would, think. make for the general efficiency of the war machine.
 Furthermore, will you not remind the heads of all federal departments, administrations and commissions that all requests and suggestions for work on the part of the state councils should be submitted through the state coun- cils section of the Council of National Defense1 This section has attained strong position as the agency to which the state councils look for authority and guidance in the programs commit ted to them for execution. It Is clear that in the interest of efficiency all re- quests for action from the federal gov ernment should go to them through this single channel. In the past fed eral authorities have, not infrequently, caused confusion by going directly to the state councils with recommenda- with conflicting rec concentrations. I believe word from you would prevent such misunder- standings in the future.
 Tt is difficult to estimate the impor- tance of the service rendered, since our entrance into the war, by these state councils, their county councils and the multitude of workers banded together under them, whom we esti- mate to number at least one million. I feel sure that you, as their Con- mander-in-C Chief, will be proud of their unique contribution in the war and will use your authority to broaden the scope of their activities as conditions permit, so that they may go on to still greater achievements.
 "Very sincerely yours,
 NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War and Chairman of
 the Council of National Defense"

 The recent election of trustees in this church resulted in the selection of Dr. c. W. Strang, R. I. Munson, G. s. Hawley to succeed themselves and G. G. Buck to succeed J. B. Hal lett, deceased. Preparations are be- ing made to make September 29 a great rally day for the church and Sunday school.
