Elaborate plans nre bclnt mad by missionaries of nil tho Protestant denom inations In this country for an Invasion of Jlexlco, probably early this winter. Instead of each denomination working nlono In soma certain territory, all of thore which had been represented In -.the field previous to last spring, when the missionaries had to leave tho country owing to the Mexican revolution, with the exception of the Episcopal Church and tho Baptist Church (South), are to work In unison. The entire program, as outlined, the cutcomo of a conference of tho mission board officials In Cincinnati, O., early this summer, Is to bo one of a con structive character. Instead of carrying rifles and cartridges the next army to go to tho southern republic will carry Bibles and books. It Is planned to estab lish one church of tho Protestant denom ination to be known as "Tho Evangelical Church of Mexico." Even tho prcBS Is to be Included In tho program, and ono big publication Is to bo founded to fur ther the cause of the now denomination. SCHOOLS TO BE ESTABLISHED. There seems to be, In the minds of the returned missionaries, moro need of education than anything else In Mexico to get the people Interested In tho church, and .with every church that Is estab lished It la hoped to have a school In which the elementary branches will be taught It la thought that at first tho schools will attempt only to train the pupils through tho sixth grade, but tho ultimate plan Is to have higher schools, one big university and ono theological seminary which will train tho native men and women whom are persuaded to cn tar Christian work. Tho missionaries In this country, who Rcre recalled, arc anxious to returr, and havo been urging their boards to arrange to send them at tho earliest possible date. It 13 believed by some that the Invasion may be begun before tho New Year, and this will be much to the pleasure of those who believe that they should be there to give tho Mexican children some Christ mas parties. Loaders In tho work, how ever, are not cuitaln when the order will seminary, which will train tho native men and women who nro pursuaded to enter Christian work. WORKERS ANXIOUS TO RETURN. Slnco tho "Liberal" leaders have as sumed charge of affairs In tho greater part of the republic, reports have come to the missionaries from friends that the Government Is turning many of tho Cath olic churches Into Institutions and even the homes of the priests and the con vents arc bclpg taken for housing soldlara and providing playgrounds and othor amusement places. On this account somo of tho missionaries are fearful that the people may become estranged from re ligious work, and It may prove difficult to get them to take an Interest In anything that has to do with tho Christian Church. In consequence, they want to get back before the change Is too great. One of the most Impurtant things to be done. In tho opinion of those who are moat familiar with tho country and Its people, is tho founding of courses In do mestic and manual arts, as they feel It Is essential that tho young peoplo of Jlexlco grow up with somo definite aim nd equipped for practical work. Included In tho denominations uniting In tho plan for the invasion nro the Congrcgatlonnllsts Baptists, Disciples, Friends and Southern I'resbyteilans, Methodists, Associated Reformed Presby terians and tho Presbyterians (North). Although these denominations are to work In unison, their workers are not to be distributed in nil sections. Instead, on recommendation of a committee on ter ritorial occupation, each denomination Is to bo responsible for some definite part of the country. In a few cases the work of the different denominations will over lap, but to a large extent the assignments ns intended ero sliown In the map accom panying this article. Through the re arrangement the Presbyterian mission aries, who have labored for 30 years In Northern Moxlco, will hereafter bo found In the South. OCCUPATION WILL BE COMPLETE. The assignments as planned to mako the occupation of the entire country complete, and to distribute the work so that certain workers may be responsible for the occupation and missionary culti vation of the different States, are now as follows; Congregatlonallsts-Chihuahua, Slna loa as far south as Slnajoa River. Sonora and Lower California. Baptists-Coahulla, Nueva Leon. Za catecas, Durango, Mexico, Federal DIs "let and A suns Calientes. Dlsclples-Coahulla (from Pledras Ne gras south along the lino of Interna tional Railroad to Monterey and to Tor jeon. whence north to Jimenez, Includ ing Slerru Mojada), Nueva Leon. I'tltnds and Southern Pposhvtorlnn San Luis Potosl. Tamaullpas, Nueva The Friendly Path 'The Friendly Path" we hope shall each week carry soma message of good cheer and helpfulness. It la to be opti mistic and to ntrlya always to find the best In everything. Bad can only bo Improved to the great est extent by copying after tho best In life. Tho helping hand always wins moro battle and docs moro good than the one that tries to' win by hard blows. Th,o, man who criticises the laws and their makers, but never goes to tho polls, could seo the greatest enemy of tho na tion by looking Into a mirror. We havo known men down In the slums, lost to friends, and sometimes wearing the paltor of the prison cell, who were good at heart, but whoso lives wore 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 us stroll together down "The Friendly Path" and find tho peace and Joy that comes through looking for tho good things that are scattered about us everywhere. GLEANINGS FROM RELIGIOUS PRESS The motive may bo good, but the wis dom of teaching tho children of Now Yqrk city "war geography," going over with them tho movements of the various armies in their nngulnary maneuvers, ban be seriously questioned. The Inno cent generation will hear nnd read enough of the murderous procedure with out special direction from their elders. (Northwestern Christian Advocate.

If wo nre sure i tnore seems little doubt that the congre that there Is waste and rubbish In our gatlon will shortly offer the valuable church property for sale. Ono of the officials said yesterday that, becauso of the small congregation, duo largely to changed conditions of the neighborhood and the removal to the sub urban sections of many of tho old mem bers, the majority of the members seemed to agree that tho best thing that could bo done would bo to diBband and turn tho property over to tho Philadelphia Presbytery. In this event, ho said, the propel ty would undoubtedly bo offered for sale In the near future. FIFTY YEARS OLD. The church edifice Is one of the most stately In the city, and Its towering spiro Is a landmark In tho neighborhood. For almost half a century It has housed tho congregation In their worship, and among those who attended services there were many of tho most distinguished citizens of the country. Tho property 1b said to be worth about $SO,000. Years ngo the church wis one of tho most flourishing In tho presbytery, and It was not Infrequont, according to old churchmen, for every pew to be filled both at tho morning and evening serv ices, Among Us nnstors wero men of great eloquence and leaders of tho de nomination. Now many of the older members havo passed away, the younger generations havo removed from the cen tral to the suburban districts and tho congregation has fallen off rapidly. Dur ing the last two years there has been no Sunday school connected with tho church, and, as one of the members de clared a day or two ago, when there is no Sunday school theio Is little hope for tho future of any congtegatlon. PASTOR COLFELT MUCH LIKED. The Rev. Dr. Colfelt was ono of the most popular clergymen In this city, nnd for years, during his pastorate, even though members had removed far from tho church, they would return to listen to his sermons. And had he not re mained thcro it is probable that tho con gregation would have disbanded beforo this. Dr. Colfelt came to tho city llrst as tho pastor of tho Oxford Presbyterian Church, Iiroad and Oxford streets, and for seven years ho remained In that THEREV.DR.JARVIS SPEAKS HOPEFULLY OF HIS COMING WORK chnrgc. For years ho was pastor of the old First Picshyterlan Church, Washing ton Square, and there he spoke to con gregations that Included men nnd women from every corner of tho globe. He had been with tho WcBt Green Streot Church slnco 1909, and even In tho Inst few years when ho was older than many men In tho pastoral work, ho had largo con gregations. The West Green Street Church was organized ns the "Alexander Presby terian Church" by a committee of pres bytery on Sunday, March 16, 1858, ns tho outgrowth of a meeting of men In tho homo of tho Rev.

M. C. A. That it Is possible to continue religious work In tho summer through co-opcratlvo methods has been demonstrated during the last few months by the results of union meetings held by chapters of tho Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip In West Philadelphia, and the West Branch Young 3ten'H Christian Association. Tho meetings started on July 5 and are to end tomorrow, although It had been the original Intention to close them before that date. The chango In closing was made, however, at the request of sev eral churches, which had not taken up the plan In the beginning nnd desired to havo their chapters represented In the work after they found out how success ful It was proving. During the warm summer afternoons, when there was little religious activity, the Y. M. C. A. workers and thoeo of tho Brotherhood opened services In the asso ciation lobby at 4 o'clock each Sunday nnd held a brief service of preparation, nnd afterward open-air services were conducted. Tho reports show thnt the at tendance at 11 meetings was 1H persons, that six denominations participated In the work and that 11 laymen and 11 cler gymen addressed the meetings. But, best of all, S3 men have pledged themselves for somo specific kind of voluntary work in the Interests of advancing Christianity. Tho Rev.

During the next three years he stirred up much enthusiasm, and when, on October 31, 1SG1, tho Rev. Dr. T. M. Cun ningham succeeded him, he found little dlllleulty in getting support for the erec tion of tho new church. Within n few years he had the pleasure of seeing the spire of tho big edifice rise, and In July, ISCa, he retired and the Rev. Gcorgo F. Cain took charge. The original name given the church, "The Alexander Presbyterian Church," was chosen In memory of the Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander, tho first professor In Princeton Theological Seminary.

AFt he makes plain that he feels It a dutj and privilege to preach the old-time evan gelistic sermons such as tho Assembly's platform stands for. That tho work Doctor Jarvls Is to un dertake for tho Stony Brook Assembly will be successful la Indicated by a state ment included In the announcement ot Doctor Jarvls' acceptance In the Brooklyn Engle, which says: "The Stony Brook Assembly has In Its directorate somo of the strongest men in the Presbyterian Chuich, and their in dorsement and support of this ovnngellstic movement nre guaranty of Its sanity and aggressiveness. The president of the Assembly Is the Rev. Dr. John F. Car son, ex-moderator of the General Assem bly. Among tho directors Is the Rev. Dr. Mnltland Alexander, moderator of tho General Assembly." In accepting the call Doctor Jarvls wrote In part ns follows: "I am thq moro inclined to accept this call because I find myself ln perfect harmony with the platform of the Stony Brook Assembly. I am so constituted that I must bellovo what I preach be lieve It intensely and deeply. "I need not remind you that the con vincing appeals to tho world of today are by ministers who hold to the faith of our fathers and believe still that the old paths lead up to tho throne of grace, as they ever have done. I hold to the Word of God as tho standard of all thinking. The modern preacher who makes his own thoughts, or tho thoughts of others, tho standard by which to Judge God's revelation has gone far astray. I believe that tho standard of Interpreta tion of the things of life should be the Book, and I. know that the sublime doc trines of grace contained In It are effective today In leading men to salvation, Hero i must rest my case, as well as my hope, for time and eternity. "Your assembly stands for the kind of evangelism I can Indorse with all my heart. If I mistake not, your purpose Is to sound a call for a revival of the old time reverence for the Word of God and to emphasize man's dependence there upon for knowledge of salvntlon. Your platform Is one of principle nnd not of policy or expediency. You believe In thr dignity of tho gospel and In tho power of the cross. You believe In a mission to the churches which shall, as far n m,. Bible, remove prejudice to the Christian religion, clarify tho atmoaphcro with ref erence to the Word of God and the doc trines of salvation as taught therein, the strengthening of the Church and the re generation of mon by the spirit of God " CELEBRATION IN MEMORY OF BENEFACTION OF ST.

Whatever may bo the Issuo, ultimately tho services of our Govern ment will be required, even as our favor Is already being solicited by all the com batants. This Ib not a time for taking sides. Americans, whatever may bo their European adulations, should real ize the solemn duty which rests upon our nation. "The tone of tho newspaper press has rarely exhibited that calmness and mod eration our President so earnestly en joined. The pulpit and plntform, the schools and all other ngencies for guid ing and controlling public opinion nre charged with a grave responsibility.
