(By The Religious Rambl*>r.) THE way in which modern religious work assumes new forms and as pects, and that withbut conscious direction or leadership, is strikingly shown in the rapid rise of the Adult filble Class, which has grown so rap idly in the past few years that it now supersedes ail other forms of men's work in the church. To-day there are nearly a million and a quarter men enrolled in these organized classes in this country, with an increase that continues at the rate of two hundred j classes and two thousand members, every week. More than nfty thousand . separate organizations of men scat- ! tcreil all over the land, are now of- \ flcially enrolled with the International Sunday School headquarters. Count ing the classes that have not reported, the number of men must amount to more than two million. Along with this amazing numerical growth, which probably outstrips any! secret society, or fraternal order, there I lias gone an even more suggestive tendency to participate in the prac tical affairs of politics and social serv ice. Some shrewd politicians are say-J lint; that this new Bible class mo\e-l ment is to-day powerful enough to swing any election upon which It con centrates its attention. That remark is portentious when it Is remembered that moral Issues are to the fore in many places as the campaign issues. On a Businfw Basis The growth of the men's Bible classes has been by the work of the men themselves, who have applied business methods to organizing and in creasing the membership. The old [ fashioned Bible class centered about , the teacher, and was largely little . more than a meeting with a lecture iby the teacher. Now the organization t itself, with its president and secretarv and treasurer and committee, is an es sential thing, the teacher being chosen by the organization. The men actually canvass their J neighborhoods as If they were after votes or life insurance, making definite | reports to their leaders. There are I many cases on record of men's Rible classes, which a year ago numbered a score of attendants, which now have a ! membership of a thousand men. Signs, j like the following, in front of churches j 1 are common—"Men's Organized Bible Class Meets Here Every Sunday at Ten O'clock. We Xeed Two More Men to Make the Enrollment Five Hun dred." These figures change as the membership grows. Usually the small red circle with a white center —the j emblem of the organized Bible class— is painted on the sign. In some cases the men's Bible classes nre really larger than the membership of the church itself. They go in for all kinds of social and fraternal enter prises. In some industrial centers they have organized "doings" every Satur day night to keep the men with their full pay envelopes away from the sa loon and other evil centers. It Is a common story that poolrooms and clubs have been put out of existence by the vitality of these new men's Bi ble classes with their Ingenuity for good times and hearty fellowship. One incidental effect of the Bible class movement has been to secure for the teaching of these classes the strongest laymen in a community. Lawyers, businessmen, educators and other professional men have found this an exhilarating field of service. As an Illustration, the men of Holy Trinity Chapel, Philadelphia, have, since the Sunday campaign, organized a Bible ] class of about one thousand members, and George Wharton Pepper, the dis tinguished lawyer, has agreed to be come its teacher. Ureal OoaLs For u Groat Force The rise of this men's Bible class movement has created problems, tho principal one being an adequate ob jective and an adequate leadership. The men feel their strength and want to do something practical. They are not content to sit and speculate on | Sundays. Most of the classes study i the Bible in Its social service aspects. J i Thus the recent demonstration of | Pennsylvania men In behalf of local! j option at llnrrishurg was overwhelm- | ingiy a. Sunday School demonstration, . apparently nine out of ten of the sev eral thousand men, who went, at their own charges, to advocate to the Legis lature the passage of a local option law, were memhers of the adult Bible classes. Clever politicians, discerning the power of this new force, are maneu vering to control it for their own ends. Sunday School leaders are giving ser ious attention to this phase of the work; for they want It directed In moral Issues by nonpartisan and disin terested and competent leaders. It Is seen that the present Sunday School secretarial force, which has done ef ficient service In organizing the men, needs to be supplemented by the ablest leadership in the church, or else the movement may be diverted to partisan or sectarian purposes. A few months ago a conference was held in Buffalo of the national leaders of men's work, and their basis of agreement declared that Bible study was essential to a vital, permanent or ganization, but that along with this should go a comprehensive program of Christian service for the commun ity, the nation and the world. This meeting also recommended the crea tion of denominational, local, State and national organisations of men. Superseding the Brotherhoods In the past two or three years there has been a serious decline in the nu merical strength and activity of the various denominational brotherhoods. The opinion is commonly expressed that these did not provide an adequate program for men's work. Bible study | was needed to afford a sufficient dy i namlc, and social service to provide | adequate expression. Stress Is now laid on the local church as the center of j the men's organization, each being [adapted to its immediate conditions. The National Presbyterian Brother hood abandoned Its h .'.dquarters and dismissed Its force of secretaries. It being felt that the Bible class move ment has the right of way. Visualization of the vogue of the Bible class work is given by the var ious Sunday School parades that are now common throughout tho country. As many as twenty thousand men have paraded at' a single time in these demonstrations. Without premeditation or direction, it has come to pass also that the Bible class button is tho most common badge seen at evangelistic meetings. The white circle surrounded by red sym bolizing a "White Life Safeguarded by the Blood of Christ," has become to be almost an evangelistic badge. The most definite result of the cam paigns of "Billy" Sunday, for Instance, Is tho rapid Increase In organized adult Bible classes. Fifty thousand men were so enrolled In Philadelphia, and twelve thousand in Scranton. The Bible class ties the new converts and other Interested men to a local church; * sets them to work for oth ers. It restrains them from religious excesses by regular Bible study. This new force, which has been un leashed in American life, has possi bilities that reach out in many direc tions, and all students of the trend of the times will keep a careful eye upon it.
