Rev. Herbert Parrish Tells St.
Peters Of National Campaign

Taking for his text Christ's COM
mand Go ye into all the world n
preach the gospel to every creature"
Rev. Herbert Parrish, rector of
Christ church, New Brunswick,
preached a stirring sermon at st.
Peters, this city, last night on the
nationwide campaign hat is now on
in the Episcopal church throughout
the United States. Mr.. Parrish is the
campaign director for the diocese of
New Jersey. He had already preach
ed twice in Trenton yesterday before
coming here, giving the same inspir-
alton and encouragement in the great
work that the church has set out to
do.
Mr.. Parrish brought home forcibly
the dangers that now confront the
nation. He pointed out the sluggish
ness of the Church in general and
appealed to those who profess and
call themselves Christians to assert
themselves that the Church may be
able to meet the crisis and fulfill its
sacred mission.
h startling fact was related that
not more than one-third of the peo-
pie of this country are affiliated with
any kind of a religious organization,
including Jew and Gentle, Catholic
and Protestant; eve Mormons and
Holy Rollers. This means that two
thirds of the people in this country,
which is considered not only a God
fearing nation, but a Christian nation,
have no religion of any kind what
ever.
Combining himself to his own
church, Mr.. Parrish declared that as
a result of a comprehensive survey
made by the church officials, not
more than one-third OF those who
profess to be Episcopalians ever at
tend church and this number Is rap
idly diminishing. The amount of
money given by Episcopalians to the
missions of the church averages but
three cents a week per member.
Mr.. Parrish appealed to the mag.
nation of the people to realize what
the outcome would be If this process
kept up for another generation or
two.
1t is to meet this alarming situation
and arouse the E"piscopalians
throughout the land that the church
has in~augurated a nationwide every
canvass with the idea Of
having every person connected with
any parish visited and urged to be-
come more active in the cause of
Christianity. Every parish is being
organized; teams are being formed
ana literature is being distributed. the
entire campaign eliminating on Sun
day, December 7, when eyerv mem
per VIII be visited in the interest of
the church.

The Democratic Liberty League.
which was recently organized In New

Louisiana's best interests by taking up

ring of New Orleans. The rotten pO-
liticaI conditions in the metropolis
fairly stink the foul stencil even going

the Taggert organization In Inlianapo-
lis, or the Chicago ring are in no wise
worse than the New Orleans crowd
When state like Louisiana is ruled
by crowd of political crooks like
those in the Crescent City then cOndi
items could not he much worse. The
ring has managed to control the state
because it has always been organized
and its opponents have not. Now that
the Liberty League has taken up thu
fight on the bosses it is up to the PEG
pie to get behind the league and hell
