MODERN CLERGYNuN AND THEIR TASKS

AHS winter campaign Of the
 churches of New Britain has been
 started with the customary vigor;
 perhaps a little more so this year
 than ever before, if increased mo-
 mentum in the work of salvation is
 possible at this late day in the his
 tory Of religion. Clcrgymen Of all
 denominations are endeavoring to
 keep their flocks interested and in-
 spired, and here and there new
 idea is tried out and the results weighed. The public response seems
 to be as usual; those who make q 1 practice of attending church are i found in their places each Sunday, and those who don't are listening to
 the radio or being importuned bv their wives to give more attention to
 the spiritual things Of life. The wives, 1t will be noted, are the most prolific church-goers. They appear to be more susceptible 10 their duty in the premises and are quicker to grasp the broad significance and value of religious training and experience.
 The modern minister has a big task cut out for him. He lives in an age of keen competition. an age Of "sophistication," of intellectual questioning, an age of pragmatfcaI inclinations.
 He must be a man of broad and liberal education, genuine leader. The day Of blind leaders leading the blind appears to be past. Enlieht- enment in the pulpit has become as necessary as enlightenment in the pe"s has become the rule. Most in New Britain give abun- dant evidence that they fully appre- ; 2iate the spirit Of the timcs.and are willing to meet and guide it.
 To study the sermons of the pres ant and compare them with the average of 8 past generation leads o interesting conclusions. We seem o have less birthstone and hcllfire md more subtlety, less theology and nore social applications of religious enets' less dogmatic ponGerositv | md more liberality of a sort com 1 'auble with modern conditions. A 'reater attempt is apparently being made to. fit and apply the ten com <, nandments and tho sermon on the d mount into our present-dav nechanistic age.
 The ministers Of the day as 2 rpIo 7, tand for progressive conceptions of k 'ublic policy. This is reflected in most church papers even more learly than in some of the sermons. V or In the churches are still infIu- D htlal folk who were reared into re- s'on during the sos and 9O's and Icy have not completely changed IS bout from Victorian standards, The n lfluence of the church papers has ot Waned perccptbly and many of lem are Identified with the most T.. 'r"ard-looIing examples of mod n Journalism.
 In this age of superficiality ma rlahsm and worship of the great 'd Success clcrgymen continue to II nphasize the basic fact that man .nnot live by bread-or machines alone.

SUN SPOTS CONTRIBUTE
To MAKING FINE WINES
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, April 16.-Sun spots and at
mospheric disturbances apparently
contribute to the making of fine
vintage wines.
CirCumstantidl evidence to this effect
has been offered to the Academy of
Sciences by Dr. Arsene d ArsOnval, an
eminent scientist, in behalf of DR.. LAX
hovsky, a specialist in biology.
Every fine VINTAGE year, from 1Sll--
called the comet year"-down to the
present was found To coincide with
intense activity Of three phenomena
sun spots, lhe aurora borcalis and
magnetic perturbatiOns.
Wine is full of living organisms, in
it's early stages, and It is suggested
that they ''vbrate" 0r perform in
some manner in sympathy with the
atmospheric activity.
The three-score scientists pf the
academy, the supreme body of its kind
i'm France, were the more impressed
by the discovery of why wine is good
because Lahnvslly utilized official rec,
