PRESS AIDS THE CHURCHES.

The amount of space devoted by the
kecular press TO religious activities is
steadily growing and has manifested
favorable results, according to a re-
bort by DR.. A. J. Wade of Chicago,
ecretary of the committee on conserya-
ion, read before a gathering of 200
eading Methodists of the country who
assembled at Chicago last week for a
conference.
%ThO great press associations have
Peen found fair, reasonable and cooper
Tive" DIR. Wade told the convocation
Northern Methodists. Metropolitan
allies express increased sympathy and
constant increase of editorials on re-
lgious subjects is noted"
DIR. Wade, in his report asserted that
ach American spent nearly nine times
3 much for Injuries in 1922 as the
yerage member of the Methodist Epis-
opal Church donated for religious pur-
loses. The report of the committee on
Conservation and advance, gave the per
apita amount donated by church mem
ers for religious purposes as so. 40.
Ehile the average American spent ap-
roimately $500 for luxuries.
rBenevolences of the church increased
rom 2.2S2 ,625 in 1912 to $13,907, 745

Around Boy Scout Campfires

The following instructions for max
ing anniversary week count have been
issued by the San Antonio council;
The proper thing to do on ones birth
day is 10 spruce up. Every boy in the
troop understands that. An effective
celebration of anniversary week simply
has to begin with the boy himself Be-
gin with sprucing up. In each troop
meeting, therefore, re-emphasize the i'm
| portance of scouts having his uni
form spick-and-span and in evidence
| throughout the week. Scouts in uni
form everywhere throughout the week
isn't that the most logical kind of re-
mindGr TO the public?
More good turns in the home. 4 boy
doesn't get a cake and candles every
week the same principle applies to the
scout birthday.
One humping good turn for the in
stitution that makes the troop possible.
One laundering all-troop good turn for
the community which gives the scout
his school, his church and the benefits
of good government.
Definitely planned. thoroughly drilled
scoutcraft demonstrations in the public
schools. Show what you can do in. first
aid, safety first, knot tying, bridge
building.
Set up camp where the public has
TO go around in order TO attend TO bust
ness. Suit it TO weather conditions.
Live in it. Make ii a real demonstra-
tion either on just one day or the week
through. A real cooking fire doing
business, in front. Perhaps different
kind of a camp cooking fire each day.
II pc ~ible, n typical campfire" on
Saturday night.
Get the troop to church on Sunday.
Get on the Sunday program somehow.
Can your troop sing well us a troop?
Hecitlng OF the scout oath and law by
the whole troop, led by the scoutmaster
or the senior patrol leader, Is effective
Or the oath by the troop led by the
scoutmaster, and groups of the laws by
each of the patrols in turn led by the
patrol leader. You do not need TO go
up on the platform TO do this. Occupy
a block of seats as unit and by pre-
arrangement with the pastor "speak
your little piece" at the appointed time,
standing where you are.
Social night was observed by Troop
10 Friday at their troop house at

arranged by the troop leader and other
officers of the troop took well with all
the scouts present. The members of

SHOULD ALSO GIVE THEIR TIME

A proposal has been made to North
ern Methodists by DR.. Luther +. Love
joy that they not only give one-tenth
of their money in tithing in accordance
with Biblical admonitiOns. but that
they also give one-tenth of their time
10 the work of the church. The pro-
posal was made in presenting an out
line of the stewardship campaign be-
fore the committee on conservation and
advance of the Methodist council of
boards of benevolences that have been
meeting in Chicago during the last
week.
According TO Associated Press dis
patches, the plan advocated by DIR.
Lovejoy proposes to organize the tithers
Of time and money into guilds in
churches throughout the United States,
with particular emphasis being placed
upon the time element. He declared
that no person could belong to the
guild who did not give one-tenth of his
time as well as one-tenth of in
come.
If the Methodsts tithed," DR.. Love
joy asserted before the committee,
there would be S100,000.000 more
turned into the treasures Of the church
for benevolent purposes"

Methodist Episcopal Church in Phila-
delphia, according to press reports.
Starting It 3 o'clock Friday morning,
the pastor of the church, the Rev. John
c. Bieri, together with other readers,
started with the first word of the New
Testament and read aloud the text un-
til the last word of Revelations had
been uttered. The entire day was con-
sumed TO accomplish the feat.
The pastor divided the New Tesla
ment into parts, each of which he es-
timated would take fifteen minutes to
read. He read the first part, and dur
ing the day sat beside the other read
ers checking the time consumed.
This. endurance test was the result
of the pastors contention that the New
Testament could be read aloud in one
days time.
1t is believed that this record has
been equaled only by congressional fill
