Labor Day to Be Held
AT Park Street u. E.

Labor Day will be appropriately
observed in Park Street United
Evangelical Church tomorrow even
ing when the pastor, the Rev. A. E.
Hangen, will preach on the subject,
What Does Jesus Say About Work
and Wages?" Apropos the discus
sion the pastor says, There are
those in and out of the church who
say, the pulpit ought to stick to the
Gospel, when subject of this kind
is announced. But the question is,
Did Jesus say anything bearing on
this question of work and wages? II
He did, it is part of the Gospel of
Jesus. And the Gospel-preacher,
to be true to the whole Gospel teach
ing, must declare also what is the
pronouncement of Christ on this
question. 1t smacks of stupidity or
prejudice or both to say that that
preacher who takes the time and the
pains to inform his hearers what is
the Gospel of Jesus concerning poll
tics, industry. business, society, is not
preaching the Gospel If he did
not, he would not be preaching the
null Gospel of his Master"
Introductory to the Fall Winter
campaign in his church, Pastor
Hangen will on Sunday at 1O.45
preach on Thanking God and TAX
ing Courage" The regular Sunday
school session will be held at 80
and the Christian Endeavor meet
ings at 5.45 and $50.

There is a movement in music
circles in the city to start a choral
society for the season. 1t has been
suggested that there are plenty of
voices from which to draw for an ac-
tive, faithful membership. 1t further
has been suggested that in the event
of the organization an oratorio could
be given, the proceeds from which
could be devoted to one of the great
war funds toward which Harrisburg
has been giving so literally. 1t has
been a number of years since one of
the really great oratorios has been
given in splendid style to which Har-
risburg had been accustomed. There
seems no reason why we cannot have
choral organization here" writes
correspondent, "and we ought to
have good one that would become
permanent. This is no reflection on
the Christian Endeavor Choral
Union, directed by Prof. Frank A.
McCarrell and which has done good
work. its last rendition having been
Mendelssohns st. Paul given last
spring in the Tech auditorium" The
suggestion certainly is worth the
consideration of the musical people
of the city. There are good voices
just waiting to be grouped into
militant. enthusiastic, permanent So
ciety. whose object shall be. probably
twice year, the singing of the
works of the masters. There is moth
ing like a singing city," writes the
correspondent. Let us get together
soon and form a choral society. hav-
ing in mind a definite and worthy
purpose"
The choir of st. stephens Episco-
pal Church will resume its active
Prof. Alfred c. Kuschwa in charge.
Usually, there are between 80 and 40
voices in this choir and the music
sung includes numbers written by
the very best composers. Each year
either an oratorio or cantata is
sung, and the talent under Prof.
Kuschwa is capable of singing the
solo parts without the aid of outside
talent. Last season Gounod's Gal
lia," and Maunder's From Olivet to
Calvary" were the special numbers,
together with Mendelssohn's Hear
My Prayer"
Mrs. r. NJ. Corkle has been play

PLAN TRAINING
OF TEACHERS
Arrange For Instructors in
Sunday Schools With Better
knowledge of the Work

Much has been spoken about
Church Union that has accomplished
little. Some things, however, have
been doing that mean more than
talk. Through the Sunday School
Council of Evangelical Denomina-
tions in the United States and Can
ada, thirty different denominations
tive plans for the training of Sun
day school teachers in such con-
certed way that each will help every
other and in effect make it one sim
ultaneous drive for better teachers
for Sunday schools in all the de-
nominations.
A very healthy and desira BILE
union is thus being realized. Not an
organic unity secured by compromise
but a practical union in which these
churches are getting together 1y
working together.
The Rev. George T. Webb, DID,
the secretary of the Sunday School
Council. has Just completed tour
Of the United States and Canada,
during which he has met, in seven
teen, conferences, the denomina-
tional Sunday school field men of
thirty different communions for tho
consideration OIL THIS DlIll luildl Us
Teacher Training Drive. The at
tendance ut all of the conferences
was good beyond expectation. and
an encouraging enthusiasm was
manifest everywhere.
The plan of cooperation does not
restrict any church in its own work,
but enables ali to work together in
the promotion of their programs so
that each one helps every other.
The time of the Teacher Training
Drive is in September and October,
when thirty days will be devoted TO
the prone otion of teacher training as
q distinct and permanent depart
ment of every Sunday school in
North America.
The goals of the drive are as fol-
lows:
/. At least one teacher training
class in every Sunday school in
North America, meeting at the sum
day school hour.
2. A monthly workers conference
in every Sunday school, meeting at
least ten months out of the year.
8. A Mld-week Teacher Training
class for present Sunday school
Teachers in every Sunday school
where such a class is needed.
4. A cooperative Community
Training school of religious educa-
tion for every community where ce-
sired and practicable; this school 10
have three functions: (a)to do
graduate and specialization work:
(b) to train leaders for classes in
the local churches; Co to provide
central training class facility for
those churches unable to maintain
their own classes.
5. A definite effort'to be made to-
ward helping every Sunday school
of North America to a right selec-
ton and use of current literature and
books on religious psychology, ped
agogy, and Sunday school organiza-
ton and management.
