PROVING SUCCESS
Lenten Rites at Keith's Theater
Achieving Excellent Results,
Leaders Declare.

The success which has attended
the midday Lenten services at Keith's
Theater this week, the first of the
sixth consecutive season of these OBJ
servances. demonstrates again that
many ingtonians are hungry
for the opportunity to devote some
time during the day to spiritual OBJ
servances during Lent, according to
those who have been conducting the
services
The Laymen's Service Association
of the diocese of Washington. in
collaboration with the Washington
Federation of Churches, stages these
half-hour services every day at the
Keith Theater. Speakers of note and
prominence address the audience in
non n-denominational messages of i'm
portance and interest. Special music
is provided on Mondays. Wedne sdays
and Fridays. No collection is taken
and the services begin promptly at
1880 and end at 1 pm. Washing
tonians of social and business pre-
emin nence occupy the platform as pre-
siding officers and the most famous
of Washington ciergymen devote
their time to the devotional part OF
the services.
In addition to this, wRC broadcasts
the services every day to the waiting
audience of thousands In hospitals,
institutions and sick beds. who are
most enthusiastic over this oppor-
tunity to partake of these Lenten

SHOW GAIN OF 69O,OOO;s
TOTAL NOW is ABOVE 46,OOO, 900

Whatever else may fail in civiliza-
ton, there is proof that the church
does not, according to the Christian
Herald. which has just completed an
annual census, showing gain In
church membership of $4,000.
The report states that the total

Church except less than 500, 900,
chiefly of Jewish faith. 1t states
further that the figures are not those
OF population, but, so far as they can
be obtained, of Communicates.
Statistics of Members
THE Roman Catholic Church, the
largest body in this country and in
the world, reports officially only pop
ulation,' which practically includes
all baptized persons; but 1t is repre-
sented in these tables by estimated
communicates. which constitute So
per cent Of its population" the survey
continues.
The communicant membership of
the Christian Church is not, however,
fully presented in the total given
herewith, because the ordained minis
ters of most Protestant Churches are
counted separately. as Lutherans.
Presbyterians. Reformed. Methodists.
Episcopalians and others. These
would raise the grand total to per-
haps 46,250,000.
These various bodies. with a total
of 2S.o21.953, roughly speaking, may
be considered as constituting the
evangelical group. or more than SO
per cent of all the entire denornina-
tional strength of the country.

"The gains in membership of this
evangelical group amount to a total

THE changes in the number Ed&
ministers and churches continue o.
move, up or down, in an uncertain
way, as though they were governed
by no particular set of rules. Thus
the ministerial increase for 1924 Is
3,740, while in 1923 it was 5.297, and
that of churches is 541 for the past
year, though it WAS 2,404 in 1922
There has been marked tendency
since the war for churches of the
different denominations to conson-
date for the sake of economy and
efficiency. ~.
/ Changes are gradually appearing
in the order of the denominations as
to numbers The Roman Catholic
keeps well in advance of all the com
munions, with its nearly 100000
communicates and its more than
100000 population. It's estimated
increase in 1924 was over 100000.

AS boy Lincoln did his thinking
on his stomach, resting his head on
MS arm as he paused in his reading
upon the floor. Patrick Henry pre-
1erred to do his upon his back, out
ot-doors. and gazing up at treetops
and hurrying clouds. Some biogra-
piers. while praising Lincoln for his
perseverance, have charged Henry
with being merely indolent 1t is a
small matter just how they went
about thinking, so long as they
thought. However, IL shows the mis-
take Henry made in being born in a
section which produced so many men
who had all the attributes of immor-
tallty except press agent.
An amazing individual-that Henry.
He extemporized everything. He al
ways began by putting his worst foot
foremost And yeti Well, he was
by all odds the greatest orator that
ever used the English tongue. In
addition he was one Of the most cou-
ageous.
He studied law six weeks: and then
sought admission to the most brill
liant bar in the colonies, He wrote
out none of his speeches, but deliv-
cred many of them so effectively that
his hearers could, immediately after
ward. reconstruct them from memory.
He was awkward and uncouth, but
could excel the most polished men of
his day.
What was his speaking technique?
He relied on himself to transform
himself. He had a way of relaxing
himself and allowing his subcon-
scious powers to sweep him along to
tremendous heights of fervor and elo
quence. He could not always call up
this power at just the exact moment
of orening his speech Indeed. he
seemed to prefer to have IL rush over
him after he had made a rather COM
monplace start upon his address. But
he unquestfonably had the gift Gas
did Napoleon. Socrates. Paul, Stone
wall Jackson and number of other
geniuses who otherwise had nothing
In common) of putting himself into
kind OF trance or stupor or state of
relaxation, in which hts intellectual
and emotional processes outstripped
those OF his contemporaries.
He went through one of these trans
formations in his stamp act speech
1t was even better illustrated in his
"liberty-o death" speech. We know,
for instance, that prior to that ad-
dress he spent more than a day in
tremendous agitation and inward un-
rest. He felt that he must say some
tnlnS, out maze no eNort TO write
out his thoughts. A few hours be-
fore the meeting he became almost
sick, and then a weird calmness
came over him and he remained as
In a. trance.
When he began his speech he was
halting, almost apologetio. decidedly
i'll at ease. Suddenly the transfor-
nation came-lighting him up, and a
whole continent with him,
A battling man, truly. He was sin
cere, fearless, far-seeing. That we
know. We also know that he got a
strange light into his eyes when he
spoke, and that men like Washington
and Jefferson and Wythe were car
ried away by him. He used gestures
sparingly, and was at the same time
overwhelmingly dynamic.
1t is impossible to explain him-or
to explain him away.

The campaign is for two-year

ranged that contributors may spread
their subscriptions over a period Of "a
months. The drive will continue
through March 12. and MONDAY meet
ings, beginning Monday, will he held

Speakers stressed the fact that
there are 10000 boys in Washington
who are eligible to membership in the
Boy Scout organization, and that it is
especially adapted to the underprivi-
legged boy. Twenty-Five per cent OF
these 10000 boys are in the under
privileged class; according to the
speakers, and these, they said, should
be brought into the organization.
IF there is one unforgivable social
crime it Is the neglect of youth" said
Rev. Mr.. Abernethy. "A1l about us
we see wrecks of young lives which
might have been saved II parents had
the right kind of assistance i'll deal
ing with the Juvenile problem. Fifty
five per cent Of the delinquent boys OF
Washington are under IT years OF
age. None are naturally bad. sup
pressed childhood, bad environme ut
and limited opportunities are the
cause of the downgrade. Nobody
cared whether they got their share of
wholesome, God given fun and play
and the result is the Nations pitiful
crop, staggering in size, of children
stunted and misshaped in body and
mind"
