QUITE RIGHT. MY DEAR, QUITE
RIGHT" AGREED REDDY.

1t ended right on the very edge of
the Laughing Brook There in front
OF them was the running water. but.
look as they would, they could see
nothing Of Reddy Fox. They. ran a
little way UP the bank. with little
noses close to the ground. They ran
little way down the bank. No
where could they find the faintest
trace of that smell that had guided
them there. 1t was just as If their
father had had wings and had taken
to the air. They were puzzled. They
couldn't understand it.
Then the smartest of the four
young Foxes remembered what they
had been told about water. He has
run along in the water and that is
the reason we can't find his SCENT.
cried the smart little Fox. We'll
have to hunt until We find where he
has come out of the water. Two OF
us will 60 up the bank a long way
and two can go down the bank a
long way He must have come out
somewhere"
Perhaps he has gone across and
come out on the other SIDE" spoke
up another young Fox.
/ Il don't believe he has" replied
the smartest young Fox. "The water
is deep and he wouldn't want to get
his coat wet. He knows We couldn't
get across and he wouldn't play us
such a mean trick as that"
SO the young Foxes started to
hunt along the bank. Two went up
the bank and two went down the bank.
They went as far as they dared to, but
not a trace of their father did they get.

TENDENCY FOR DIVORCES
DEFENDED BY DR.. GRANT
Urges Episcopalian Delegates to
Liberalize Attitude of Church
on Question.

NEW YORK, September 1.-The
Rev. DIR. Percy Stickney Grant. rector
of the Church of the Ascension, has
anticipated action at the coming tri-
ennial convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, at Portland, Ore,
by urging the delegates to liberalize
the attitude of the church on the
divorce question.
AT the coming convention" he
said. there will be an attempt made.
SO it is supposed. to narrow still
further the attitude of the church.
The object is to forbid remarriage
of all persons, innocent or guilty. who
have been divorced for any cause"
Declaring that the basis for the
position of the church is to be found
in certain supposed words of Christ"
DR.. Grant stated that he doubted their
authenticity, adding that, the Bible
cannot be made handbook for mod
ern lawmakers, and that the church
cannot organize modern life on texts
found in the New Testament.
The question of divorce Is today
part of the woman's question:" he
said. in conclusion. Two thirds of
the divorces are asked for by women.
Industrial independence will increase
the number of rdivorces. Divorce
used to be thought scheme put for
ward by bad rAen to crafty their
passions. In reality it is relief sought
by good women"

REAL CHRISTIAN UNITY
SPREADING IN JAMAICA
Rev. William Bentley Reports
Wide Interest in Coming
Washington Conference,

NEW YORK, September 2.-Gen-
uine progress toward real Christian
unity is reported from Jamaica by
Rt Rev. William Bentley, assistant
bishop of that island. who is in New
York to attend the provincial synod
of the hierarchy of the Anglican
Church of the West Indies. Interest
in both clerical and lay circles is
keen in the coming conference on
faith and order that will be held in
Washington and that will deal large
ly with the subject of Christian unity,
Bishop Bentley reported.
I'VE have already organized a
friendly conference planned to in
clude all of the Christian churches
IA jamaica Bishop Bentley said to-
day. "1t has now become some
what formal body. Unfortunately,
the Roman Catholics. though they
are extremely friendly, do not feel
free to participate in 1t.
1.-The only difficulty we have en-
countered so far is in the recogni-
ton of each others orders. On mat
ters of belief and creeds we are al
most as one.
"This is all the more important in
that most of the denominations are
represented in Jamaica-Anglican
Baptist, Congregationalist, etc. A
broad, Christian spirit is being ex-
hibited by the various participants
in the conferences, and it augurs
we'll for the future. All denomina-
tions, including the Roman Catholic
maintain extremely friendly relations
with each other on matters Of gov
ernment and education"

EPISCOPAL BODY RAPS DONORS
OF INARTISTIC CHURCH EDIFICES

Wealthy donors of Inartistic church
edifices. affairs. memorial windows,
etc: vestrymen who approve them
and bishops and rectors who accept
them, are gently rebuked in a re-
port of the joint commission on
church architecture OF the Episcopal
Church. which will be presented to
the general convention at Portland,
Greg, next Wednesday.
''Esthetic infalliability does not
inhere in a bishop, a priest, the war
dens and vestry. a clerical or lay
benefactor, or in any architect or
other artist because of his function"
says the commission. prominent MEM
bers of which include Ralph Adams
Cram. the distinguished architect of
Boston; DR.. Bertram Grosvenor Good
hue OF New York, also an architect
of similar high rank.
Paying for an altar, a window or
rood-screen does not give the donor
the right to impose his own taste
on posterity, or justify the rector,
something that is bad" continues the
report. "Nepotism in church art is
as bad as nepotism in church prefer
ment."
Plea for Architectural Beauty.
The report is a, vigorous blow in
favor Of architectural beauty in
churches. which, it declares, must
be expressive of the historical con-
tinuity. the doctrinal succession and
the racial antecedenta of the Angli-
can Church.
"It is hardly needful." says the re-
port, ito dwell upon the absolute
necessity of good art of every kind
! when 1t is called into the service OF
the church, but good art is not
enough; it must be the best, and the
word art includes not only architec-
trre. painting and sculpture. but as
well. and equally. stained glass.
music, wood carving. metal work of
all kinds, vestinents. needlework.
'"The church brought Christian art
into existence, fostered it. developed
1t to it's highest perfection. and not
only inspired all the art Of Europe
from the edict of Constantine until
the reformation. but, doth directly
and indirectly, determined the form
and method of European art for 1000

WILL REORCANzE

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the Laymen's Service Asso-
citation of the Protestant Episcopal
Church recently was held in the Office
Of Civil Service Commissioner George
B. Wales. president of the association.
Because of the conditions under which
the association has been operating for
the past two years, the executive
committee feels that something ap-
preaching a reorganization Is neces-
sary. This need is emphasized by the
fact that at the last general meeting
an entire new set OF officers was
elected.
The committee has adopted reso-
lutiona for presentation to the asso-
citation at the next general meeting,
which will be held on October 19 at
Epiphany Church. Heretofore mem
tanned through election to parish
branch. except for the few members
at large who belonged to parishes IN
which there was no branch. The com
mittee now proposes that membership
in the central organization OF the as.
sociation shall be Independent OF
membership ina branch.
Any man Who is interested in the
advance Of lay activity in the Epis-
copal Church can join the ASSOCIATION
by application to the secretary ana
the payment of dues. AS soon as a
central organization of sufficient
strength is formed it is proposed to
send organizers to those parishes
that SO desire, for the purpose OF
forming a branch in that parish.
Any body of men working together
for the same object as the central
organization. namely the awakening
of the laity to it's responsibilities,
will be recognized as part Of the as
sociation All interested laymen are
invited to meetings Of the central
body whether they belong to the as
sociation or not.
The association will continue to
conduct public MONDAY services
during Lent, such as have proved so
successful during the past two years.
and will further plans for the care of
aged church people. Other work OF
a general character will be initiated
by the central organization. leaving
the branches free to prosecute in the
different parishes such church work
az may be undertaken by the laymen
of each parish.

Maj. Julia Stimson Explains That
Nurses Are Part of Army
and Navy.

tionai Institutions are open to former
members of the Army and Navy Nurse
Corps, according to a decision just
announced by the trustees of the es-
tate of the late La Verne w. Noyes.
wealthy inventor and manufacturer
of Chicago. This action of the trus-
tees, it is said, is due to information
furnished by the Office of Maj. Julia
Stimson, head of the Army Nurse
Corps.
The trustees on seeking information
relative to women who served IN the
war. had been informed, according to
report, that there were no women IN
the Army and Navy of the United
States" Miss Stimson, learning from
correspondence with Mrs. Frederick
Delano of Washington, ID. G., OF the
provisions for the Noyes scholarships,
communicated with the administrat-
ors. explaining that under the law
nurses are an integral part OF the
Army and Navy. Assurance has been
given that the scholarship privileges
will be extended TO such nurses as
meet the requirements of the trust.
Gave s..5OO.O0O Property.
During his life Mr.. Noyes gave prop
erty valued at $500, 600 to the unlNer-
sity of Chicago to esta abiish the Law Verne
Foundation TO assist soldiers and sail
ors who served during the world war
and their descendants with free tut
tion at the Chicago institution. In his

the benefit of ex-service men and wom-
en-. The income OF this trust is to be
paid TO university or colleges selected
by the trustees for the tuition fees OF
deserving students needing assistance.
This was TO be without regard TO sex,
race, religion or politics and be con-
fined to citizens of the United States
who served in the Army or Navy since
April 6, 1917, and their descendants.
Awarded in Seveteen Colleges.
Scholarships under the LaVerne
Noyes Foundation have been awarded
10 students in seventeen colleges in IL
linois, three in Iowa, one in Ohio and
one in Massachusetts. The purpose OF
Mr.. Noyes in establishing the scholar
ships was to express his gratitude and
to reward "those who ventured the su-
preme sacrifice of life for this country
and for mankind in this war for the
liberty of the world, and also to keeE
alive for generations TO come the spirit
of unselfsh, patriotic devotion which
these men displayed and without which
no free government can long endure. v
Mr.. NoyeS was native of New York
but early in life went to Iowa, settling
in Illinois in 1876. He invented and
patented more than 100 mechanical de-
vices and was an extensive manufactur-
er of agricultural implements.

GERMANS INDEBTED

DR.. J. F. krueger, president of Mid

returned from Europe, where he took
a summer course at Leipzig Univer-

DIR. Kreuger stated at the offices of

Because of the recent divorce of

the subsequent withdrawal of state

learning of new methods of finance,
and in many cases a complete reor-

Of Germany today is friendship. and
it is to America they look for the
satisfying of that need. DIR. Ihmels,
one of the great Lutheran leaders of
Germany today, told me that but for

have been compelled more than q

Complete credit is given to the coun-

will be needed the coming year If the

THE great menace of the church
work In Germany Is the utter inabil-
ity of the newly responsible congre-
cations to pay their workers living

attempting to live on salaries which
would amount at the present ex-
