GREAT NEED FOR
 MORE MINISTERS

Philadelphia, May 22-Reports of the executive committee, including the Every Member Plan Committee, and of the permanent committee on evangelism and of the committee on christian life work were presented to the general assembly of the Presby- ter.ian Church in the United States of America at the annual meeting here yesterday One of the reoommenda- tions of the executive committee was that the proposed campaign against polygany be postponed in view of the absorbing work of the New Ezra and Inter-church World Movements. In 1918 the general assembly appointed a committee to take action against poiygamy.
 The Every Member Plan Commit tee recommended that churches which have not accepted the plan do so at once, organizing so that the entire program, educational, financial and spiritual may reach and enlist every member.
 A resolution suggesting that pastors present to their congregations the fn- crcasing need of more ministers was offered by the committee on christian life and work.

HEAVEN IS A NICE
 WARM PLACE.

The Old Ansakok, Masaitsiak, said, Christian Leden states in the May World Outlook, regarding this mat ter You Kab1unait (white men) be- ieve that the great good Spirit is a male being, we 1nnnit believe that the great good Spirit is a female Her abode is down in the bowels of the earth where it is nice and warm, and to her the souls of all good people go after death.
 Those of us who in this present life are not as good as we ought to be, must in the next life be satisfied with the upper regions. But it is very cold up there," and he pointed toward the sky, and none of LIS wish to go there.r'
 When I told him that white people believed that the upper regions is the place of reward, and that the warm place down below is only for bad people, he shook his head
 Even white people may some times be mistaken" he said, and any sensible Eskimo would think that he got quite enough of cold weather in this life and that the good Spirit could not possibly give him any better re ward for good conduct than a warm CT existence in the next'-World Outlook

BLIND PEOPLE HAVE STRANGEST
 BIBLE IN U. S.

How would you like to study Bible that weighed nearly two hun dred pounds, bound in 19 volumes which occupied over seven feet of the shelf space in your study? In case you become blind you will have no alternative and in addition to handl- ing such a bulky edition of the Scrip lures, you will have to read the mes sage of Gods Word with the tips of your fingers. For there isn't a drop of ink in the editions for the blind, the letters being represented by groups of dots embossed on very thick paper
 Two interesting processes of print ing the Bible in raised type are in use at the publication plant of the American Bible Society in the Bible House at Astor Place in New York City. In one process the paper to be embossed which is rather thick and very tough, is dipped in water, and then pressed between a brass plate suitably embossed and a rubber pad which permits the plate to make the corresponding fluctuations in the plastic paper which is then hung on a rack to dry. The use of a common cylinder printing press for this pur- pose has been made possible by an ingenious invention of Christian H. Brunner. an employee of the Ameri- can Bible Society. In the other pro- cess, a special grade of paper is em- p1oyed which does not require the preliminary wetting mentioned above.
 Most printing for the blind utilizes but side of the page. The So- ciety has a press, however, (the only one of it's kind in existence, a gift from the inventor, William B. Wait) which corrugateS the paper so as to permit the use of both sides of the page by impressing the lines of dots along the raised portion of the cor rugation on either side of the paper thus greatly reducing the thickness and weight of the volume.
 Special methods of binding the embossed type have also been devel- oped and applied so as to maintain as permanently as possible the legibi1ity | of the raised sym bols.-L. W. Barn ard, in Christian Herald.
