CHURCHMEN HOLD
MASS MEETING
Episcopal Leaders From New
York to Explain Nation
Wide Campaign

Members of the Episcopal Church
from Harrisburg and vicinity are
arranging for a big mass meeting to
be held Friday evening at o'clock
in st. Stephens Church. The meet
ing is to be addressed by leading
Episcopal churchmen from New
York City, leaders in the nation
wide campaign of the Episcopal
Church. In addition there will be
addresses by the Rt. Rev. James
Henry Darlington. Bishop of the
Harrisburg Diocese, and by the
Rev. Malcolm Maynard, of Belle-
fonte, diocesan chairman of the ma
tion-wide campaign committee.
Original plans called for a meet
ing to be held Sunday evening, but
this plan has been abandoned and
the meeting will be held Friday
evening instead.
The purpose of the meeting Is to
explain to members of the Epis-
copal Church the plan and purpose
of the nationwide campaign, con-
cerning which there still appears to
be great doubt. The plan and pur-
pose of the camgaign is not to raise
a certain amount of money as seems
to be the common opinion. The
plan is rather for a reconsecration
of all the forces of the Church and
the redoubling of it's efforts to full
fill its mission. Finances, of course,
enter into the plan, but they do
not take the more important po-
sition.
In addition to the mass meeting
called for Friday evening which all
Episcopalians are asked to attend,
a meeting is scheduled for Friday
in st. Stephens parish.
house, to which only limited num-'
ber of representative churchmen
have been invited. The meeting in
the morning is for the instruction of
laymen so that they may act as I'm
formation Men" among the parishes
of the diocese. The invited guests
will take luncheon at the Penn
Harris as the guests of st. Stephens
parish.

Autoist Is Arrested on
Charge of Manslaughter

Charles NJ. Bachman was arrested
yesterday by Chief of Police Long
maker on the charge of involuntary
manslaughter. Bachman was the
driver of the car which on Sunday
evening ran down and caused the
death of two-year-old Steve Svec,
South Front street. Bachman was
released under a thousand dollar
bond furnished to Squire Stees upon
order of Judge Kunkel. The strong
est evidence against Bachman ap-
parently is that of witnesses of the
tragedy. who claim that he skidded
for more than forty-seven feet after
the brakes had been applied. In
view of the fact that the paved street
was dry at the time, this would in
dicate excessive speed. Other wit
nesses say the child ran in front of
the machine when called by Its
mother- to come into the house.
Funeral services for the child will
be held tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock in St Peters Church by the
Rev. Luke Gladek. Burial will be
in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.
