TRAINING CLASS OP WORKERS Organized by a Number of Boys Items of lot crest to the Members of the Different Denominations Work , That Is Being Done. 'An Interesting phase of religious work Is the summer open air meetings to be held Sunday afternoons at Nay Aug falls by Young Men's Christian asso ciation workers. The plan Is a very good one and is well told in the Toung Men'a Christian Association Magazine, which Is issued today, In the following language: "Rev. Dr. Mutchmore, the eminent Presbyterian divine, in an address re cently given to the Pittsburg associa tion said: 'You have a park here which tae devil has dedicated to himself. There are enough of you here to go out and do missionary work from one end of the park to the other. Start out and preacli the gospel on Sunday, and then come here through the week for rein forcement. We have too long housed our Christianity. People used to de light to come to church and the asso ciation rooms. They won't come now. It is time to uncork our Christianity. "This is precisely what the Scranton association workers are now planning in a series of open air services at Nay Aug falls. A beautifully shaded, nat ural amphitheater has been selected and here a platform will be erected and the Association Glee club and orches tra, assisted by leading church choirs and soloists, will give a half hour con cert of sacred music, to be followed by a brief address by prominent laymen of the city. It is hoped to secure also for two or three meetings of the series as many famous speakers from abroad. It Is expected that each meeting will be In charge of some prominent Christian worker In the city. By this means we hope to reach with the truth a large number of young men, who, following a perfectly natural instinct, prefer the green trees and the shady nooks of the park to the heated walks and streets of the city." .. A thing which will be of Interest to ministers and those who have charge of training the young In Christian work, Is the organization of a number of boys In a worker's training class. These are steady 'young fellows, very studious, and will conduct the class themselves, having a different leader each meet ing. 'Rev. Charles H. Yatman's series of eitudles for beginners will be fesed. The class at present will meet In the rooms of the Young Men's Christian as sociation. ' Eplsoopal Church News.

Miller, contains the following article on the "Roman Catholic Sister hood:" "The Roman Catholic church hns been universally credited with being alive to the things which strengthen Its hands among- the people. In its wide experience It has found that one of Its greatest sources of strength has been In the employment of various sisterhoods for different spheres of church work. The following outline Will hint at the extended Influence, of these agencies of this church: ' "Sisters of Mercy, spend Vlfe In visit ing the sick and the prisons. Sisters of the Order of the Good Shepherd aim to reclaim fallen women and conduct reformatories for girls. The Uraullne nuns are devoted to teaching In acad emics and in parochial schools. The Sistera of the Divine Compassion pro vide homes for waifs and homeless children. Sisters of iMiserlcor-Jlae con duct lying-in hospitals. Those of the Order of St. Francis teach in parochial schools, conduct hospitals and orphan asylums. Sisters of 'Notre Dame teach parochial schools exclusively; and the convent of the Helpers of the Holy Soul sends out Its nuns to Instruct the un inatructed sick and the Ignorant In the faith of the church. The Little Sisters of the Poor care for the aged; the Sisters of Bon Secours are trained nurses who go out to the homes of patients whenever they are called; while the Sisteirs of Assumption also are trained nurses who devote themselves exclusively to nursing . the sick poor, never entering the house where the patient Is able to pay for their services. The Presentation nuns, and the Sisters of St. Domlnlok, each have two or three branches, one of which Is devoted to a contemplative life, and the other occupied In the care of schools or orphans. "A number of orders exist specially for work among the foreign population of our cities. Such are the Slleslan Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, the Sisters of the Society of Pious Mis sions, the Sisters of Cenaculum, who work among Italians, the Sisters of St. Agnes, the Sisters of Christian Charity, the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who work among the Germans. "The Sisters of the Convent of St. Regis afford ladles opportunity to make spiritual retreat, and minister to the spiritual needs of world-weary women In a time of rest, penance and prayer. "We have named but twenty of half a hundred orders, but a glance at their spheres of activity Is enough to satisfy even the Incredulous) that they must be a great help in gaining favor for their church."
