FARM PRODUCES LARGEST
 NUMBER Or MINISTERS

The interesting fact that the farm leads all other fields in producing men for the Christian ministry is revealed in the survey of the nations resources, which is being taken by the American Education Department of the Inter church World Movement
 The next largest number of clergy men come from the homes of minis ters. From all other occupations the number of those entering the pulpit is so small as to be almost negligible.
 The hope is not only to make the ministry field which will attract men of the right character, but in every way to broaden the field of vision of clergymen-to draw into it not only the sons of farmers and of clergymen, but the sons of bankers and merchants and lawyers and physicians and me chanics so that professional church. men will be in every way representa- tive of all the phases of life to which the church appeals.

work and the duty of laying aside a definite proportion of income for re- ligious purposes. Lantern slides will be freely used to illustrate the various addresses.
 The conferences will be managed by local committees, and the various top ics under discussion will be handled by teams of from five to eight men and women, recognized as church leaders in the county or state. Each team will be responsible for conducting the con ferences in eight counties.
 Big Educational Campaign Prepared.
 This series of conferences repre- sents only an intermediate stage in a great campaign of intensive education in practical Christianity preparatory to the united appeal for missionary funds and workers which will be held by the Protestant denominations CO., operating in the mterchurch Move ment between April 9 and May 2. The teams that will address the county conferences were themselves trained as q faculty" of specialists iii the various aspects of the movement at q series of state and pastors confer ences. Similarly, those who attend the county conferences will in turn form a faculty" for interpreting the message of the Interchurch Movement to their local churches
 Thus it is expected that before April 20 the ideal of church cooperation advocated by the Interchurch World Movement, in place of church compe- tition, and the program of evangeliza- tion that goes with it. will be familiar to every one of the fifty million Protestants in the United States.

MILLION DELEGATES TO ATTEND 2,000
 MEETINGS ID DISCUSS INTERCHURCH PLANS
Bulk of Counties in the United States Will Have Confer to Solve Problems of Unchurched Areas Waste
 full Duplications and Underpad Preachers

A method of holding meetings of Protestant church representatives in about 2,000 county seats ill the United States, involving q total attendance of anywhere from q million to million and half delegates, has been evolved by the Interchurch World Movement of North America, according to an an nouncement just made at Interchurch headquarters, at 45 West Eighteenth street. New York City.
 In Missouri the county conferences will be held in the 114 counties from April 6 to Q, with 2s teams of speak CTS for the State. The dates for Ar kansas and other Middle-WeSt states will be announced soon.
 The original plan to hold all of these two thousand and odd meetings simui- taneously throughout the country was abandoned as impractical. But they will take place as nearly simultaneous ly as possible, all but very few being scheduled to be held between April , and IT.
 The meeting place will in most cases be the county seat, and the attendance will be composed of the membership of the Protestant churches of the county.
 The conferences will last one day only During that day will be present. ed the whole program of the Inter church World Movement for promoting cooperation in missionary and general church activities among the Protestant churches Time will also be given to discussion of the local problems in each county as revealed by the Inter- church Movements survey of religious conditions throughout the United States.
 No Sidestepping of Problems.
 It will be. it is said, very excep- tional county that does not hear some more or less unpalatable truths con corning unchurched areas, or wasteful competition, or underpaid and ab- sentee preachers. Not many counties, il is stated, are able to show an aver age ministerial salary higher than the average for the whole United States, which is S937, while barely one-third of the entire Protestant population of lfle lniIeu StdleS, dcCOTulAS lo eStl- mates made hy the Interchurch survey, has an opportunity for regular church attendance
 Besides full consideration of focal problems, the program at the county conferences will present the outstand- ing results of the worldwide survey of religious. social and economic condi tions made by the Interchurch Move ment, the material for which has beer gathered from every corner of the earth Special emphasis will also be laid on the place of prayer in Christian life. the importance of assisting young people in the right choice of their lift

Uncons cious Humor.

The teacher of a third-year class
during a test in written English re-
quested each pupil TO write an original
~entence containing the word char
acter." After much thought one little
girl evolved the following: IAN the
teachers on the third floor have q good
character" which, doubtless true,
sounded rather hard on the teachers
of the other floors.
In another school one Of the teach
ers occasionally appears wearing one
of the modern straight-effect gowns
confined at the waist by heavy silken
cord with large tassels. One of the
boys, writing upon the subject "Our
School," referred to his teacher in fat
tering terms, but being IMMERSED in
the artistic as to raiment, finished his
paper with the remark, But some
times she comes to school wearing her
bathrobe."
