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,

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.

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.

To Keep Skin Healthy,
Youthful, Wrinkleless
Now that the social season is here,
be especially careful to keep your skin
In line condition. 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.—

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
A Mixture of Sage and Sulphur
Darkens the Hair Beautifully
and Evenly
| Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly Com
pounded, brlng.i back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray; also ends dandruff,
Itching scalp ana stops falling hair.
Tears ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any drug store for
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, you will get a large bottle of
this famous old recipe for about 60
cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by morning the gray
hatr disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.—
