United Church Workers to
Establish Schools and Col
leges Workers Anxious
to Return to Their Fields.
Elaborate plans are belnc made by
missionaries of all the Protestant denora
Dillons in this country for an Invasion
. Mexico, probably early this winter.
Wtead of each 'denomination working
lone in some certain territory, all of
;h0.a which had been represented In the
f.ld previous to last spring, when the
Visionaries had to leave the country
ewlnj to the Mexican revolution, with
the exception of the Episcopal Church
ihd the Baptist Church (South), are to
Vcrk In unison.
The entire program, as outlined, the
outcome of a conference of the mission
bcird" officials In Cincinnati. O.. early
th!s summer, is to be one of a con
structive character. .Instead of carrying
rides and cartridges the next army to
gb to the southern republic will carry
Bibles and books. It Is planned to estab
llh one church of the Protestant denom-
imtlon to be known as "The Evangelical
Church of Mexico." Even the press Is
to be included In tne program, ana one
z publication Is to bo founded to fur
ther the cause of tho now denomination.
SCHOOLS TO BE ESTABLISHED.
' There seems to be, In the minds of
the returned missionaries, more need of
'education than anything else In Mexico
toi?et the people Interested in the church,
and .with every church that Is eBtab
Uihed It Is hoped to have a school In
which the elementary branches will be
taught H is thought that at first the
ichools will attempt only to train the
pupils through the 3lxth grade, but the
ultimate plan is to have nigner scnoois,
one tig university and one theological
seminary which wilt train the native men
and women whom are persuaded to en
ter Christian work.
The missionaries in this country, who
irere recalled, are anxious to return, and
hive been urging their boards to arrange
to send them at the earliest possible date.
It Is believed bv some that the Invasion
may be begun before the New Year, and
this will be much to the pleasure of those
ho believe that they should be there
to give the Mexican children some Christ
mas parties Leaders In tho work, how
ever, are not certain when the order will
emlnarv. which will train the native men
and women who are persuaded to enter
Christian work.
WORKERS ANXIOUS TO RETURN.
Since the "Liberal" leaders have as
wmed charge of affairs in the greater
part of the republic, reports have come
to the missionaries from friends thnt the
Government is turning many of the Cath
olic churches Into Institutions and even
the homes of the prlestH and the con
vents are being taken for housing soldiers
and providing playgrounds and other
- amusement places. On this account some
.of the missionaries are fearful that the
ofpVople miv become estranged from re
'uildus work, and It may prove difficult to
1,'jet them to take an Interest In anything
I that has to do witn the Christian Church
It
The Friendly Path
"The Friendly Path" we hope shall
each week carry some message of good
cheer and helpfulness. It Is to be opti
mistic and to strive always to find the
best in everything.
Bad can only be Improved to the great
est extent by copying after the best In
life. The helping hand always wins more
battle and does more good than the one
that trice to win by hard blows.
The man who criticises the laws and
their makers, but never goes to the polls,
could see the greatest enemy of the na
tion by looking Into a mirror.
V,'e have known men down In the slums,
lost to friends, and sometimes wearing
the pallor of the prison cell, who were
good at heart, but whose lives were
shattered by the sting of distrust and
unkind words, when a few words of
cheer and kindness would have started
them on their way to successful lives and
happiness.
Let lis stroll together down "The
Friendly Path" and find the peace and
Joy that comes through looking for tho
good things that are scattered about us
everywhere. ' ',

GLEANINGS FROM

The motive may be good but the wis
dom of teaching the children of New
York city "war geography," going over
with them tho movements of the various
armies In tholr sanguinary maneuvers,
can be seriously questioned. The Inno
cent generation will hear and read
enough of the murderous procedure with

YOUR WASTINGS
Rubbish Is God's opportunity for riches.
The things that are dteplsed He loves to
turn Into things that are a delight. Even
the world Is discovering this principle In
commenlng on the amazing value of for
mally neglected by-products It has inon
said: "Men have discovered that waste
is too rich to be neglected, without It,
the world Is too pbor " Discarded turkey
quilts are today enriching not only the
world's commerce, hut the world-wide
work of the Sunday school through the
gifts of a well-known Inventor And
when we give God unhindered control of
our own wasted lives He can capitalize
our waste into such Immediate and un
measured wealth for ourselves and for
otners as only the mltacle-alchomy of
Heaven could accomplish. It Is the base
thing? and the things that are despised
that God rejoices to touch, transform and
use for His own glory. If we are sure
that there is waste and rubbish In our
own life, we may be equally sure that
ours is the life that God can immediately
make wealthy. Sunday School Times.

"We nt the neutral nations stand by
