-' r I 2w s V I'' t IV X Vn Dr. John Haynes Holmes, of Now 'York, Leads Flock Out- side Christian Fold SOCIAL SERVICE HIS OBJECT New York, May 20. Dr. .Tolin Haynes Holmes, who ni a Unitarian clergyman lias been nt work for many months to load li is congregation of the Church of the Messiah, Park nvcimc and Thirty-fourth street, out of the Unitarian faith in order to cstnbllslln rhurch which would have no affilia tion whatever with dcnominationalisin, announced yesterday Uint he lms suc ceeded. The congregation has adopted the name "The Community Church of New York" and licenses him to preach a "universal, humanistic religion" which does not recognize the bounds nt Christianity. Doctor Holmes has re signed from all connection with tin Unitarian Church. As he docs not in tend to preach theology, it is uncer tain whether he will continue to be a, ' clergyman. The church, of which Dootor Holmes has been pastor since 1007, was estab lished in 182." as the Second Congrega tional Church of New York. In 1SI1II the name Wis changed to the Unitarian Church of the Mecsiah, continuing n Mich during the eighty jears that have elaps'cd. The congregation is said to consist of nbout -100 contributing mem bers and has lately enjoyed a consider able increase in attendance. Pacifist IMore the War Doctor Holmes became a I'u'ttiiriiin clergyman in 11)04. He has had calls to All Souls Church of Chicago and other leading churches, and was nt one time vice president of the middle states conference' of the Unitarian Church. Prior to the entrance of the United States into the war he held pacifist views, and it was reported that some of his utterances had beeu carried by (icrnian fliers over the lines for propa ganda purposes. When he was asked about this report Doctor Holmes-said : "Before the war I, as n pacifist, expressed the hope that the United States would not go to war. Since the United States entered the war 1 have made no such statement." Doctor Holmes began his cffoits to establish an undenominational church in January with the abolishment of ppV rents and the institution of steps to pave the way for n social service organiza tion. He said then that fie did not be lieve his plan would obtain full accept ance for ten jcars. His announce ment from the pulpit yesterday was as follows : "The old name of the church has long since lost its meaning, at least for our people. To many it had a sentimental value, made precious by long and tender association, hut it meant nothing to uuy of us in terms of spiritual thought and work of our timef unci to the public at large it was a source of confusion and error. "The change to the Community Church of New Yoik is simply uu en deavor to interpret the free, democratic, social religion to which we arc commit ted, and to give public guarantee of our determination to live out the conse quences of this religion to the very end. "By this action the church has now completed n great woik of reorganiza tion. I have left Unitarinnisni, cut niy 'solf off from all denominational connec tions of every kind, thnt 1 may preach n universal liumanistic religion which knows no bounds of any kind, not even Christianity. "Any person who is a part of our great American community is welcome to our church, whether he be riih or poor, black or white. Christian, .lew, Hindu or- Parser. By adopting this new name wc put the social, democratic stamp indelibly upon, our work. Wc now belong lo the community, to take rnnk with the schpol, the library, the com munity center as n public institution lor public service."

"Wlicn-n Itepubllcan Congress passed the Webb-Keiijon bill over the veto of a Ilcpublicnu President, it is not likely that the present Itepubllcan Congress will accede to a Democratic President's wish," snid Mr. Bryan.

The American vendues into the ex poit coal business will undoubtedly swing n large block of other tiade to America. Hitherto Client Britain lias been the great coal exporter, and the possibility t getting a return cargo of coal has unqucstionabl winked toward having other commodities shipped to CSient Britain, for le-sale, if need be. In this way, if in no other, coal exports have been a tre mendous factor in building up British I world trade.

The Internal Revenue Department selected the best there is The Elliott-Fisher Flat Bed System of Accounting, Bookkeeping, Bill ing and Recording Practically every man and woman in the United States whose incorrie exceeded $1,000, filed a tax return on March 15th. The colossal labor of posting and checking the overwhelming mass of returns was beyond human capacity. The work absolutely had to be done by machines. The only question was which machines to use. The U. S. Bureau of Efficiency tested several makes of bookkeeping and accounting machines under the most exacting conditions. The Elliott-Fisher Flat Bed System won out on all counts accuracy, flexibility, speed and endurance against all comers. One hun dred Elliott-Fisher Machines were purchased and put immediately to work. This was to be expected. For the Flat Writing Sur face is the supremely convenient and adaptable way to handle one or many records at a time. And Elliott Fisher Accounting, Bookkeeping, Billing and Record ing Machines are the only System which features the Flat Bed exclusively. What is the main business of your bookkeeping department?' Is it billing or recording? Is it book keeping with sewed-volume journals and ledgers, or with the now quite universal loose-leaf system? Is it complex accounting or keen sales analysis work?
