prompt action on the part of American mission boards,
 He insisted that a most cordial relation exists between the Japanese and Amer jeans, that the natives look to the occi- dsntals for guidance, and they maintain a most receptive attitude. Many of the churches are self supporting and some are definitely missionary in their work.
 AMERICAN HOME FIELD
 The problems of the American home field were the subject of discussion at the evening session. Leading the meeting was F. Fred Eastman, of the American survey division, of New York. In addi- ton to Mir Archibald. who gave the re- sLlts for Alabama, pr. A. C. zumbrunnen, director of the city surveys for the south, gave an outline of the work be- ing done by his department.
 It was the results from Alabama which held the attention of the delegates closest however Two complete county surveys were presented, one located on the south ern border of the state and the other in the northeastern part. Each is a pro- sressive county and is typical of the best of the rural sections of the state. The survey has been most complete, and covers not only church conditions, but community conditions as we'll
 In the southern county under discus s.ons it was learned that 2.545 farms were operated by tenants and 1,460 by tho owners. There has been much immigra- ton here, and unsettled religious and moral conditions result. The circulation of jingo and socialistic papers was found to be prevalent: and the most active evangelistic forces are the Holy Rollers Mormons and other strange sects with ar emotional appeal.
 Also in this country it was found thai special industrial groups, such as lumber camps, were not being reached by the established churches. on account of the elannishness of the iumbermen, and they were thus left without religious guidance and prey to unrest and moral disease.
 VITALITY SAPPED
 ,Denominational and interdeaoninationa, rivalries were shown to be sapping the vitality of the churches. In one county two churches of the same denomination were found in close proximity to each other and catering to the same parish in several communities. These have been caused by internal disputes and scisms They contribute to the number of under. paid ministers, and some are without regular services at all. The large propor- ton of ali country parishes have infre- quent, services, once a month being the popular number. Sunday schools are ab- sent in a large number of congrega tions. the preparation of the youth of the community for religious life is sadly lacking.
 Of the most profound significance was the statement by Dr. Archibalc that practically wherever surveys have been completed, it Is found that reli- gious leadership is in the hands of the older generation, and the oncomine men and women of the communities are not exhibiting any marked religion, Jennings at all. The ministers them. selves in backward sections are showr to be poorly prepared for their task.
 In one county, 73 rural churches were found. Of these. Al belonged to one de. nomination. They were served by q pastors, nine of whom live outside the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-04

county, four of whom live moro than 25 miles from their charges, and one is as far as 40 miles removed Eleven of these churches have no Sunday schools, 3S have preaching only one Sunday during the month, 10 have no night service. Of the 24 pastors who serve these churches, only six have the equivalent of a high school education and only one gives his whole time to the ministry. The others make their living by farming, working in shops and similar occupations to eke out a bare existence.
 CONDITIONS STARTLING
 The conditions revealed by pr. East man in his nationwide survey were equally as startling. The amount of unchurched territory is immense, and the number of special groups of men in agriculture, and many industries. who are entirely untouched by church in- fluences, was shown to be appalling.
 Tomorrow's programme will include the presentation of many vital phases of church work by authorities on their subjects. The subject of the inter- church world movement itself will be under discussion, and an opportunity will be presented for all the delegates to ask whatever questions they may have in regard to the movement
 Dr. Will W. Alexander, director of the interchurch for the southeast, who Is heading the team of speakers, will arrive in Birmingham this morning from Nashville, where the Tennessee conference has just been completed. With him will be pr. W. B. Beauchamp senior secretary of the centenary board of the southern Methodist church. Dr. Egbert Smith, head of the foreign mis- sion board of the southern Presbyterian church, and other notable men.

SOLVING THE

Appeals Sent Out BY Interstate

L May Require Days, Even Weeks, To
Start Anything Like A Resump-

Washington.-The Interstate Com.

Monday toward breaking the freight
blockade. Telegraphic appeals were
sent to all state, railway and public

sion's force of inspectors was put to
work to help get accurate data re-
specting conditions at critical points.
Practically all of the several hun.
dred inspectors were assigned to
aid in surveying traffic conditions at
important gateways where the flow
Of freight traffic was clogged. The
commission also expected to be fully
informed on the terminal situation at
all cities by tomorrow night.
Members Of the commission recog-
nized that the present crisis would
provide . real test for the new trans.
portation act and likewise that the
emergency clauses must measure
up to the claims OF their staunch sup
porters II freight is again to be set to
moving smoothly throughout the coun.
try.
With increasing complaints from
shippers and requests for assistance
from the railroads themselves, the
commission is understood to have de-
termined to go into the freight tieup
with hammer and tongs. Officials,
however, urged patience on the part
Of those watching for immediate re-
suits, since dt may require days and
even weeks to start anything like

tation service.
In it's first attempts at freeing
the maze of rail equipment, the COM
mission probably will deal with local

Individual roads. This was expected
to last, however, only until a gen.
eral scheme can be worked out by
which priorities and embangoes can
be employed to restrain the onrushing
stream of commodities waiting at ev-
cry station.
Further suggestions Of the railroads
were given the commission at confer
ences with representatives Of the rail-
roads and shippers organization off,
Gals. The fuel situation has slowly
developed to the danger point, repre-
sentatdves said, and they proposed that
the commission establish general,
although temporary. order for the
