 The most significant movement in the Presbyterian church for years is now under way in what is called the New Era Movement This ad vance step is one of the results of the great war. Changing conditions have called for changed methods of operation and an increased effort along all lines. The New Era Movement is a crusade on the part of the church to bring every cause of Christ to every individual. It in wolves five-year program along the lines of finance, evangelism, Bible study, family religion, education and local development. The evangelistic program comes next in operation as the financial effort for this year has already been made. The church set out to raise $39,O00.00O for the com. ing years work and so planned the campaign that this amount was ac- tually subscribed, and indeed over subscribed, between the hours of two and five o'clock on March 23d.
 The financial program has not been carried out in all of our Alas ka churches. because of the impossi- bility of getting the literature to the churches in outlying districts in time. All the churches will ultimately make the special effort. Those which have made the canvass have been most successful. Sitka white church has more than doubled all previous gifts to benevolence. The Northern Light Church. of Juneau, has trebled it's pledges to both local support and to benevolence over any previous record and this is true also of the Native church of Juneau.
 The next feature of the New Era Movement is the ingathering planned for Easter Day This is to be a special appeal to enlistment in the service of Christ. It is to be an in- gathering of people for service as the first was an ingathering of money for service.
 Last evening the Presbytery con- vened in the Native Brotherhood church and addresses were made by various members of the Presbytery. The house was filled with Native people and their friends. Music was furnished by the native choir, and by special choirs of school children and the girls quartette. There was also instrumental music by the Guitar Club. At the conclusion of the exer- cises delicious refreshments were served by the ladies of the native church.
 The sessions of the Presbytery will conclude with to6ay's meeting. Rev. c. S. Gladfelter will return to Hoon ah tonight on the Estebeth, Rev. Falconer and Buchanan will leave on the North trip of the City of Seattle and the remainder of the delegates will go South on the return of the same boat.

 BE ELIMINATED
 BY THE CHURCH
Natives Will Be Encouraged to Speak and Understand the English Language
 for All Purposes.

The outstanding features of yes terdays session of the Presbytery
 of Alaska were Home Missions and
 the New Era Movement.
 The Presbyterian Church has con | ducted missionary operations in Al aska since 1877, and Mrs. Mcfarland came to Wrangell and established a mission school and conducted mis sion work. The following year Rev John c. Brady, who afterwards be came Governor of Alaska, and who recently passed away, arrived in came to Wrangell to assist Mrs Mcfarland. The pioneer in Alaska Protestant missions in Alaska, the Presbyterian Church has maintained it's work in this Territory with vigor and today supports more mission. aries in the Territory than any oth, CT Church organization.
 Just tribute was paid to Dr. Shel- don Jackson who first visited Alas ka as a representative of the Pres byterian Church and brought with him the first missionary of the church.
 The budget for the coming year was announced yesterday. The Board of Home Missions will expend $35,000 in the Territory this year in the support of it's work. This does not take into account the work of the Woman's Board at Sitka or the ether medicinal work carried on by that Board which will add $10,000 to the above estimate. As many of the churches pay part of the sal aries of their ministers it is esti- mated that the organization expends in excess of $50,000 year in the carrying on of it's work in Alaska.
 One of the interesting discussions of yesterday had to do with the ques- tion of interpreters. During the past year the native churches have assumed the support of their own in terpreters. There is a growing dis position on the part of the native churches to dispense with the servic- es of the interpreter as he is some times facetiously named Tribal dis tinctions are rapidly disappearing un. der the influence of school and mis- sion. In the recent large gathering Of natives at the school fair at Kla- wock, under the auspices of the Bu' reau of Education. any other Ian guage than English was strictly ta. boo. The young native understands English and is restive under the i'm rlicatiOn that he is still a foreigner. He wishes to become, and to be rec ognized, as citizen. Therefore he must speak the English language Al ready there are indications that the time Is not far distant when the in terpreter will no longer be required At Klawock the evening service for several months past has been in the English language alone and the pas. tor, Rev. E. E. Bromley. reports that the people are greatly pleased with the new arrangement. Other churches will follow this example during the coming year.
