EPIPHANY CHILDREN
TO MEET TOMORROW
Procession Is to Be Led by Vested
Choirs From Four Leading
Sunday Schools Here.

A mass meeting for children is to
be held at 4 o'clock tomorrow after
noon at the Church of the Epiphany
at which 1t Is expected representa-
tives from thirty Episcopal Sunday
schools will be in attendance.
The procession is to be led by vest
ed choirs of children from four of the
leading Sunday schools. Rev. DR.
James e. Freeman, rector Of the
church, is to conduct the services, as
sisted by clerical members Of the
board of religious education.
Bishop Harding has notified the
board he will be unable to attend be-
cause Of engagements. DR.. John w.
Wood of the department of missions
OF the Episcopal church is to be the
principal speaker.
This meeting is the result of news
recently received from New York to
the effect that the revenues of the
department of missions had been so
reduced by the falling or in contri-
buttons of Episcopalians to the gen.
eral work Of the church that 1t had
been necessary to direct missionary
bishops and those in charge Of work
In the foreign fields to curtail ex-
penses below those of previous years.
The L.enten Offering of the children
OF the Episcopal Church forms no
mean part of the whole sum of an
nual receipts. More than 100000
were contributed by the children last
year and it is hoped to stimulate the
offering 50 that 1t will reach a total
in 1923 of $1.00o.000.

Ice. but will be required to occupy

ed truth about the delicate question

| MARCH "a 4DES|GNATED
FOR SPECIAL PRAYERS
Bishop Harding Tells Clergy of
Recent Resolution by National
Episcopal Council.

Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, Bishop of
washington, has addressed to the
clergy OF his diocese a letter inform
ing them of recent resolution Of the
National Council Of the Episcopal
Church. setting Wednesday, March IA,
as day of special intercession for
Gods blessing upon the churches at
work at home and abroad.
A bidding prayer issued by the
national council has been authorized
TOT use on this occasion. This is a
plea for the prayers of the peoeple,
which they are to intercede. 1t bids
the congregations pray for the gov
ernment OF the United States, for the
work of the parishes and diocese and
especially for the success of the mis-
sionary work at home and abroad.
Necessity OF IntercessiOn.
The necessity for special interces-
sion at this time was brought home
to the council by the extraordinary
failure of the people of the Episcopal
Church to show their appreciation of
the Importance of the work the church
is doing the world over as indicated
by the amount of their gifts for these
purposes. What was known as the
, nationwide campaign in 1919 Gre
| ated wave of enthusiasm for service
throughout the country and a num-
Der of men and women offered their
SERVICES as missionaries. While there
has not appeared to be any falling off
in the missionary spirit of church
men, it is deplorable fact that the
contributions for missionary purpose s
in 1922 were very considerably less
than the requirements of the work.
The budget prepared for 1923 called
for an even greater expenditure. but
the deficit created in 1922 will prevent
any expansion at this time.
1t is expected that the service of
special intercession will be used in
all the Episcopal churches at one of
the regular Lenten services on We'd
nesday next.

Protestant Churches and
Many Welfare Organizations
Behind New Move.

The Protestant churches of Amer
lea, as represented by the Federal
Council Of Churches and more than a
score of religious organizations in the
teid of temperance and moral well
fare, came out today against any
change in the prohibition laws to al
low the use of beer and light wines.
The statement, based on action
taken at conference of religious or
ganizations called by the councils
commission on temperance. which is
headed by former Gov. Carl Il. Miili-
ken of Maine, asserts that such lib
erafization OF the statutes would eff
feet a virtual notification" of the
prohibition amendment. Declaring
that "the church has the same moral
obligation to finish this task that 1T
had to initiate it," the council adds
that by every moral standard the
buyer Of Illicit liquor is as guilty as
the seller
Wide Benefits Seen.
After three years. IT, says. lit is
demonstrated that prohibition has
produced wide benefits, despite dim
oultics in enforcement and constant
Misrepresentation.

pressed purpose of the federal gov
ernment to enforce the law; to report
violations of 1t to the proper oftciais.
as Is their duty, so declared by the
United States Supreme Court, and to
support all local, state and federal

the reasons for personal total absti-

are fundamental to its success.

The churches of America were
largely responsible for the creation of

in the adoption of this amendment,
