PRINTING—BINDING—DESIGNING PHOTO-ENGRAVING HARRISBURG, PENNA. FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TlfSßffP TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 10, 1915 the truth that there are great forces steadily at work to solve the religious and social problems of the day. While the annual meetings of the executive committee of the Federal Council, of which Dr. Shailer Ma thews, of Chicago, is president, and Dr. Charles S. Macfarland, of New York, is secretary, was the occasion for the Columbus gathering, special inter est centered in the sessions of the council's commission on the church and country life, of which Gifford Plnchot is chairman and the. Rev. Charles O. Gill is secretary. Five pub lic sessions were held, the closing ad dress being made by the President of the United States. Represents the Big Crowd From all parts o fthe land Christian leaders, both clerical and lay, fore gathered for this meeting. Since the Federal Council officially represents thirty-one denominations, and seven teen million communicant members of the Protestant Churches, its delib erations are of widest interest. The unusually representative company which mot at Columbus was signifi cant most of all of the mood of alert ness which at present animates Chris tian leaders. Everybody is aware that a new crisis is upo nthe world, in re ligion as well as in international rela tions. The church is on the qui vive for a possible message or method that will point a path through present problems. Conditions were never riper in America for a quick response to new leadership. Abroad and at home, religious thinking is more chaotic than many persons care to admit. The various commissions of the council, including that on peace, re ported at Columbus. Startling Figures on Rural Church Ever since President Roosevelt call ed his famous conference on the Church and Rural Life, the theme has been to the fore in religious conven tions and activities. A vast amount of investigation has been done, revealing conditions unsuspected by the general public. It has been found, by the Ohio rural survey, comments the Christian Observor, that "One out of every nine country churches has been abandoned in recent years. Only one third are increasing in membership and two-thirds have either ceased growing or are dying. Eighty-three per cent have less 21 per cent, have lesß than 25; 27 per cent, have between 25 and 50; and 34 per cent, have between 50 and 100. Only G per cent, have individual preachers, while 26 per cent, share ministers with another church; 2 3 per cent, have one-third the time of a minister; 27 per cent, have one-fourth time; 14 per cent, have one-flftli time; 5 per cent have one-sixth time. A large proportion of preachers receive about the same pay as a day laborer. Less than 40 per cent, of the rural [ population are church members." The Columbus program, which dealt definitely and constructively with the entire rural church question, bore such names as President Wilson. Dr. Wash ington, Gladden, Govrenor Willis, Gif ford Pinchot, Dr. Rubert C. Herring, |of Boston, Rev. Ward Piatt, of Phila delphia; Bishop Joseph F. Berry, the Rev. Dr. fi. D. Morris, of Atlanta; the Rev. Henry Wallace, of Des Moines; Bishop William F. Andorson, Dr. Hhailer Mathews, Fred B. Smith, the Rev. E. Tallmadge Root, of Boston, the pioneer of federation; President K. L. Butterfield, of Massachusetts Agricultural College; the Rev. Dr. Warren M. Wilson, of New York; President George B. Stewart, of Au burn, N. Y; the Rev. Harry F. Ward, of Boston; Miss Jessie Field, of New York, and others. The Church and Physical Needs This Columbus meeting, Instead of dealing with doctrinal matters, such CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always beats fHgJimc of as once engaged the attention of great religious gatherings, boxed the com pass of the day's social questions. All the problems that are part of country life came in for treatment at the hands of experts. The new idea is that the country church should be a social and civic center, and the minister a leader in advanced agricultural methods as well as in all forms of community wel fare and uplift work. The conservative South has gone farther than the rest of the nation in certain aspects of church work. The Southern Sociological Congress, with headquarters at Nashville, has an nounced as the topic for its fifth con vention, to be held In New Orleans next March, "The Church and Health." As a leader in this move ment says, "I should hope that the one outstanding achievement of the New Orleans Congress would be to turn the rudder of the church so a-s to change her course to a more direct and practical human service in the 'conservation of health." " A World Call to Prayer One of the national functions which the Federal Council has assumed is the issuance of the topics for the "Universal Week of Prayer," which is observed by most congregations throughout the first week in January. This institution was organized by the World's Evangelical Alliance in 1846. Several weeks ago the Alliance's call to prayer was sent from London to a great many papers and individuals in America: the Federal Council's call came out ten days ago. A conflict in topics was feared by some, but the Federal Council only slightly modified the Alliance's program. This appeal from London is un usually tender and searching: "We greet you in days of mourning. Never in the history of the Kvangli cal Alliance have we sent forth our usual invitation for united prayer in circumstances so sad and so solemn as those which have involved many nations in mortal strife, and grieved and shocked others not directly impli cated. Silence on such a matter would be affectation, and worse would be any word that might wound. What ever may be deemed to be the causes of the conflict, every servant of Ilim who 'maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth' will be drawn to united and earnest interces sion for the healing of breaches, for restored brother liness of the peoples, and for the blessings of a Just and lasting peace." The list of topics suggested by the Alliance for January 2-8 are as fol lows: For Sunday, various texts are indicated for sermons, such as "Tho" Sun of Righteousness will arise with healing in his wings"; Monday, "Thanksgiving and Humiliation"; Tuesday, "The Church Universal—Tho "One Body' of which Christ is tho Head": Wednesday, "Nations and their Rulers"; Thursday, "Missions"; Fri day, "Families, Colleges, Schools and the Young"; Saturday, "Home Mis sions and the Jews." As adopted by the Federal Council the theme of Peace a.nd Unity is made dominant: Sunday, "Sermons on Re conciliation"; Monday, "Peace: Inter national and National"; Tuesday, "Peace through Christian Service for Jews and Gentiles, Abroad and at Home. For all Missionary Societies": Wednesday, "Unity in the Church Throughout the World"; Thursday, "Peace by Education in Schools, Col leges and Universities": Friday, "The Family and Youth; Spiritual Train ing": Saturday, "Peace Through Brotherhood; Reform and Social Ser vice. To Promote Health, Con ditions, Purity and Temperance"; Sunday, January 9, "Sermons: The Prince of Peace in Victory and Glory." The spectacle of the entire Chris tian world on Its knees for peace is one which is heartening in these dire days of war. THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER. I Newly-Created Archbishop te/GMT -az\r. <S£onG.B TV. SWsrDKVEI/V. New York, Dec. 1 _. —Bishop George W. Mundelein, auxiliary bishop of Brooklyn, who according to new ap pointments from the Vatican, received through the Papal Legation at Wash ington, has beeh promoted to be arch bishop of the archbishopric of Chi cago,! is probably the youngest arch bishop in the world. At the time of his consecration to the office of bishop in 1909, Bishop Mundelein was the youngest Roman Catholic bishop in the United States, and probably the youngest In the world. He was born in New York city on July 2, 1872. Bishop Mundelein attracted wide notice by his brilliant defense of Pope Pius when the pontiff's attack on mod ernism in the church evoked criticism The pope was charged with reaction ary tendencies. Bishop Mundelein in public and private speecli coinbatted this conclusion. lie denominated Pius the "Twentieth Century Pope" and represented him as being full abreast if not ahead of his times. The favor In which ho was held at Home was shown by his election, the first Ameri can to win the honor, to the ancient Academy of the Arcadi in 1907, two years before obtaining his bishopric.

You know how con spicuous complexion defects appear un der the bright light of the drawing or ballroom. Also how very evident are some makeups when similarly Illumi nated. I have myself discarded cos metics entirely, using a process which gives far better results, and which leaves no trace on the skin. At night I smear on a thin coat of ordinary mer colized wax, washing it off next morn ing; This gradually absorbs the de vitalized particles of surface skin; Just as gradually the more youthful skin beneath comes forth, providing a com plexion as clear, smooth and delicately tinted as a young girl's. Get an ounce of mercollzed wax at your druggist's and try this remarkable treatment. Remember, too, that wrinkles, oven the finer lines, are not easily concealed In a brilliantly lighted room. You can quickly obliterate these hateful marks by bathing your face in a solution of powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved In witch hazel, % pt. And your face won't look sticky, as after using pastes.— Aunt Sally in Woman's Realm.—Adver tisement.
