Preparing Young People
For a New World Order
How the Churches Are Making Ready in Time of Flux
For Changed Conditions
(By the Religious Rambler)
When the guests In the Astor Hotel,
New York, a few evenings ago, saw a
company of about a hundred men in
evening clothes taking the elevators to
one of the banquet rooms they doubt
less gave no thought to any possible
significance of the gathering: it was
only one more of New York's multi
tudinous dinner parties. All unknown
to observers—and perhaps, even, to
sc.me-of those present—that particular
dinner group stood for one of iie great
ideas that are emerging from the
cliaos of world strife, namely, concep
tion of liffe. This war Is shattering
old traditions, usages, customs and
unities. It has revealed deficiencies
and evils which can be remedied only
by starting anew at the bottom.
So a few men who have official con
nection with the one world-embracing
organization for the training of chil
dren—H. J. Heinz, John Wanamaker,
George W. Bailey, Arthur M. Harris,
James H. Post—invited a large group
of interested men to meet at dinner
to review the present status and pos
sibilities of the Vv'orld's Sunday School
Assoc.laiton in the light of the crisis
that has come upon the world. Mil
lionaire businessmen, famous edu
cators, leaders in religious Journalism,
laymen eminent in Christian work,
and a considerable sprinkling of
preachers, with a couple of bishops
rdded, made up the company.
The formal addresses were deliv
ered by Dr. John R. Mott, chairman
of the continuation committee of the
Fdinburgh Conference; Bishop Joseph
C. Hartzel. of Africa, and Dr. Samuel
M. Zwemer. of Arabia and Cairo. H.
J. Heinz and Colonel E. W. Halford
made the introductory addresses.
Bonds That Outlast War
"Big Business," in a sense not usu
ally meant by that steroetyped phrase,
occupied the evening, for the World's
Sunday School Association enrolls
21,000,000 members, in 298,000 local
organizations, staffed by 2,600,000 offi
cers. And it. is steadily and rapidly
browing, the most notable increase
being in the accession of men.
The American headquarters are in
the Metropolitan Building and the
European headquarters are In Old
Bailey, London. The officers are:
President, Sir Robert Laidlaw, Lon
don: chairman, H. J. Heinz, Pitts
burgh; general secretaries, Frank L.
Brown, New York; C'arey Bonner,
X.ondon; treasurers. Arthur M. Harris,
New York, and the Rt. Hon. T. R.
Kerens. M. P.. London.
Guests had before them booklets
showing, by flags, the international
distribution of the Sunday school
among 200 nations or groups of peo
ple. Only 54 countries on the whole
earth were reported as without Sun
day school organizations, and these

and catarrh, head, nose and throat stop-

noxious catarrhal discharges that have
collected during the night and you can

Hyomei Pocket Inhaler t\hareed with
the pleasant healing ol: of Hyomel be

dressing and breathe the medicated, an

By the time you are dressed your

about your day's work with a clear

This clean smelling, germ destroying

Druggists everywhere think so we'l
of Hyomei that they agree to give vou

not satisfy they will gladly return
every cent you paid for It. but if using

TURN HAIR DARK

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gra>,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
g< od, even color, which Is quite sensi
ble, as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the readv-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound" for about 50 cents
a bottle. It Is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time- by m/rnlng the gray
hair disappears, but wliat delights the
Indies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Is that, besides beautifully darkening
tlio hair after a few applications, It
also produces that soft luster and ap
pearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides, prevents dandrufT,

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 22. 191?
were the small and remote places,
like Curacao, Faroe Islands, Iceland,
Monaco, San Marino, Afghanistan,
Bokhara, Abyssinia, Macao, British
Somalland, etc. Something over 15
per cent, of the entire population of
the United States is enrolled in the
Sunday school.
This International organization will
rot be essentially afTected by the war.
All the countries having Sunday
schools will continued to have them,
in increasing number. And in the
gigantic task of repairing the war's
spiritual damages the Sunday school
will be a powerful agency. Its bonds
continue real and vital and will out
last the war. While the world's con
vention planned for next year has been
postponed, it will yet be held, and
with representatives from all leading
nations present.
Some Emissaries of Peace
Perhaps the most significant state
ment. made at the New York dinner
was Dr. Mott's declaration that in
confidential conferences with Christian
leaders in twenty-one countries, held
tral public. eYt there are at tills very
new obligations present conditions lay
upon the Church, there was unani
mous agreement that the supreme
problem is that of the new training
of youth. The leaders of the time In
the things of religion realize that they
must go right down to the bottom,
and begin to educate a generation of
boys and girls with vital Christian
principles and an international mind.
The fact that all over the world
there are being held meetings of this
sort by men and women who have
not been maddened by war and who
retain their poise and sense of re
sponsibility may be news to the gen
eral public. Yet there are at this very
hour a relatively large number of the
emissaries of idealism and religion go
ing to and fro among the nations at
war, and in neutral countries, to pre
pare for the hugs tasks that will await
the Church when peace has been de
clared.
That these responsible leaders of
thought have been forced to the con
clusion that society must be made over
again almost from the bottom is a
truth of profound significance. While
some men and women—the perfunc
tory and professional employes of the
various international religious agen
cies—are concerned primarily with the
mere integrity of their own organ
izations, the real leaders are devoting
themselves to a conservation of the
ideals which are essential to the '.ife
of human society. The present crisis
and cataclysm has driven them to a
care for first principles.
What World Loaders Are Thinking
Among the startling convictions
emerging from the world turmoil is
the clear belief on the part of all re
ligious leaders that, since all conti
nents. races and religions have gone
into war's melting pot, so out of it
must come actual, defintte consid
eration of all the world's people. The
Sunday schools are no longer thinking
in the terms of their own existing
organizations only; thev are reckon
ing with the hundreds of millions of
children In Asia and Africa and else
where who are at present entirely be
yond the reach of Christian training,
but who will have a part in determin
ing or what sort the new world order
is to be.
Dr. Zwemer, the brilliant leader of
ld! ? Chri!rtia " Propaganda
among Moslems, reminded the men

50,000,000 Moslem children to be reck-

condition will be intolerable in the

mortality among them, he said, is from

children to come unto me'." He told
