Northumberland Court
Restraints Increase in Tax

Sunbury, Pa, Aug. 24.-President
Judge Herbert w. Cummings, in the
Northumberland county courts to-
day directed an injunction restrain
ing p. Joseph Schmidt and John j..
Roach, of Shamokin, and Frederick
R. Dornsfe, of Dornsife, North
umberland county commission
and Oswald Kramer, Shamok--
county controller from levying a tax
rate of more than four mills for
county purposes for this year. 1t has
been fixed at six mills, but county
taxpayers appealed asserting that it
was eXorbitant and unnecessary.
Through their counsel, Major Cen
eraI Charles NJ. Clement and w. j.
Sanders, of Sunbury, The petitioners
declared that such levy as recon-
mended by the controller and levied
by the commissioners was an abuse
of power. The petition was resisted
il being declared that it was the act
of tax lodging coal corporations,
who hid behind the skirts of a doz-
en- men.
Judge Cummings says in part we
are convinced that the levy of a SIN
mill tax fixed upon the valuation is
unwarranted and unreasonable and is
clearly in excess of the sum required
to pay the expenses of the county
for the present year. 1t is ordered
| that the, defendants be perpetually
| enioined from collecting a tax OF
more than four mills for this year.
This will reduce the estimated in
come from S225,000 to $150,0OO, it is
understood.

CHURCH ACTIVITY
MUCH CIJRTAILED
Services Will Reach Normal
Strength During Early
September

Fewer church services will be held
in Harrisburg tomorrow than have
been held here for a number of Sun
days. This does not signify that the
city is becoming irreligious. 1t mere
ly means that many ministers are out
of the city on t<eir annual vacations.
In some instances no preaching serv-
ices are being held in their church
es, and in others visiting ministers
have been secured to fill the pulpits
during their absence.
Hot weather has had something to
do, too, with the curtailment of the
number of church services that have
been held in the city during the
past several weeks stad has resulted
in such decidedly reduced number
for tomorrow. Bat a single preach
ing service, usually in the morning.
Is being held in quite a few of them.
Vacations of most of the pastors
will end during these closing days
of August and many of them are ex-
pected back in their pulpits for next
Sundays services. Cooler weather
will likely pre.yail with the coming
of September. so church services will
reach almost their normal number
by next Sunday.

of the Catholic Church in the Harris
burg diocese, of which Harrisburg is
an important part. Prof. Brodeur re-
ceiVed his musical education in
Rome and ranks with the first musi-
clans of the country in the exposi-
tion of church music. Tt had been
thought Harrisburg might get the
benefit of his wide experience. but
the conference developed that the
time is not propitious for the innova-
tio1, in view of the world turmoil.

WEEK OF PRAYER
UNSUCCESSFUL
More Christians of More Com
munions Participated
Than Ever Before

In June. 1917, the commission OF
the American Episcopal Church on
the World Conference on Faith and
Order requested the whole Christian
world to observe January 1929,
1918, as a season of special prayer
for the Reunion of Christendom and
for the guidance of the preparations
for the World Conference. 1t is be-
lieved that the week was observed
by more Christians of more COM
munions and in more parts of the
world than had ever been the case
with any such observance. The COM
mission is now asking for the OBJ
servance of the same period next
January for the same purpose.
One of the countries where the
observance was most general and
earnest was India. where, through
the efforts of the National Mission
airy Council. different ARRANGEMENTS
were made in each representative
council area for the observance of
the week according to the different
conditions prevailing.
In Bombay each congregation was
urged to meet every day of the week
for meditation and prayer, and a
general meeting of the clergy in the
city arranged the plans. The Chufcn
of the United Free Church of Scot
land and the Hume Memorial
Church of the American Marahi
Mission were each open for an hour
on each day throughout the week,
as places where Christians of every
communion could meet for silent
pl iyer and meditation.
The Bishop of Madras, at the re-
quest of the National Missionary
Council, prepared Outlines of Medi-
tation and Prayer" for use during the
week. These were adapted and am
! plitied and widely circulated and
used in Bombay and in other parts
of the province by Christians of
every denomination.
The request for the observance of
the same Octave January 1925, 1913
for special prayer for the reunion OF
christendom has again been sent to
| Christians in every part of the
world. 1t is hoped that they will be-
gin at once to plan for the observ-
ance of the Octave, putting their
whole soul into this outpouring OF
prayer by every communion, every
race and every tongue that, the unity
Of Christians being made visible tC
| the world. it may believe that the
| Father sent the Son as it's Redeemer
