tnent wide movement inaugurated

tant Evangelical Denominations and

munities have included rousing pub
lie opinion in favor of better reIigi-
Gus opportunities for all children,
awakening the interest of public
schools, parent-teacher associations,
motion picture house proprietors,
mems clubs, women's clubs: in gath
ering the children into the church
school, better equipment and lessons
in these schools, better opportunities
for training offered to teachers,
larger cooperation on the part of
parents, and the opening of week
day schools and vacation schools of
religion. In every place where care
ful preparation for the observance
of Children's Week is madeo the
testimony is, "the results more than
repaid US for the time and effort we
invested"
There is a great need Of arousins
the entire community in the interest
Of the spiritual needs of the children.
At least 100000 Of the 25.OOO,-
900 of children under ~ years of
age on the North American Cont
nent are receiving no religious edu-
cation whatever. Americas greatest
peril is the spiritual neglect Of her
childhood.

sociation through it's auxiliary parish
and district organizations is planning
to make the week worthwhile
throughout the state through the su-
pervision of its children's division 81:

ess to s4OO,0 900, who is a patient at
the Mclean hospital for the Insane,
while a contest is being waged in the

vention of her fathers sister, Mrs.
Catherine L. Hughes. in the guar
dianship contest. Judge Leggat de-
MED Gardeners motion that the ap-
pearance of Mrs. Hughes attorneys

Il. Jardine for appointment as MISS
Gordon's guardian, and the counter
petition of Gardiner have been fixed

purpose in entering the case was to
prevent Dorothy's money being used
ito pay the costs of unnecessary liti-
cation"
DR.. Isidore H. Coriat, named by the
supreme court as a mental expert to
pass upon Miss Gordon's mental con-
dition, will present. his report to the
court next Friday.

Portland, Me. Dec. Shell Gron,
Danish diplomat. took the stand late
today in his own defense against the
divorce action brought by his wife, a
society sculptress, the plaintiffs case
having closed at noon to the surprise
VI the children.
Mr.. Gron blamed the children of
Mrs. GrOn by a former marriage for
many OF his marital difficulties and
denied that his wife put him on a
monthly allowance of $l00, or had
paid his bills in the Harvard Club of
New York. The session closed at this
point.
Prominent among the letters Of
tered today were two in which the
Rev. Charles A. Livingstone, d. D.,
rector of the Episcopal Of Setauket,
l.. l., Of which Mr.. and Mrs. Gron
We're members. appealed TO the Rt.
Rev Benjamin Brewster, Episcopal
Bishop of Portland, in behalf of Mr..
Gron.
These letters were introduced when
DR.. Livingstone was called as a wit

L shop Brewster replied but his ans
yer was not offered in evidence. One
| letter said: '"rhe boys soul must be
saved. The sacred music the boy has
genius for is being slain by rag time
and jazz and he is falling into the
talons of false science that is under
mining our civilization."'
In an attempt to show Mrs. Gron's
unfitness for the custody OF the boy
Dr. Livingston wrote that Mrs. Gron

ingston later denied a charge made
in one Of the letters to Bishop Brew
ster, which read: "She explained to
nc that she was not a believer. but a
free thinker. like her brother, Edgar
Ice Masters"
In this note, Mrs. Gron also denied
an allegation in a letter from Mr..
Livingston to her that Neils. Jr.. told
his father he thought it would be
right to have him murdered. Mrs.
Gron concluded: "Shame on the man

DR.. Livingston was asked what he

Ct ence to poisoned hearts" He said
he meant the separation Of husband
and wife. Asked concerning his ref
erence to "a malicious attack" he
said that he had heard that certain
woman was going to be named as a

Questioned concerning the yelled
threats Of hot blooded relatives,
Dr. Livingston said that he referred
to a letter that c. Temple. heir to

trial. had read. Mr.. Emmett, who is
