Lay Leaders in All Parts of
State Giving Time and
Money to Make Great Gather
ing Success; Line Up Pub
licity Campaign
Methodist men of prominence in the
professions and business of Pennsylva
nia are lending their names and giving
personal attention to an effort to make
the Pennsylvania Convention of Meth
odist Men to be held In Chestnut Street
Auditorium, November 20-24, 1916,
one of the most representative denom
inational gatherings ever held in the
State. Indications are that more than
three thousand men from all over the
State will attend.
It is a noteworthy fact that more
than a dozen bishops of the church
will be present as well as Methodist
editors and general conference officers.
Bishop 'William F. McDowell of
Washington, D. C., is to be one of the
leading speakers. For many years he
has been located in Chicago. At the
last general conference he was ap
pointed to the Washington area. He
is considered a man of rare genius and
groat power.
While the Convention will differ
greatly from a general conference, yet
In personnel and representative char
acter, It will resemble this great legis
lative body of the Methodist Church.
At the same time in the point of actual
delegates it Is expected to be three
times as large. It is not a minister's
plan, but a scheme wholly in the hands
of laymen. Its serious character is
seen from the fact that behind It are
men like: James W. Barker, Harris
burg; C. W. Laycock, Kingston; Alex
ander Simpson, Philadelphia; T. A.
Dye. Pittsburgh; S. W. Dickson, Phila
delphia; John F. Jose. Pittsburgh;
George P. Eckman, Scranton; v Mark

LORD'S PRAYER
Commission to Urge Elimina
tion of "Thine Is the
Kingdom"
St. Louis, Mo., iug. s.—The closing
clause of the Lord's Prayer, as it ap
pears In the King James version of the
Bible, may be eliminated when the tri
ennial general conference of the Prot
stant Episcopal Church meets in
St. Louis, October 1.
The commission on revising the
Book of Common Prayer will recom
mend that the clause be eliminated,
the Rev. Edmund Duckworth, pastor
of the Church ot the Redeemer, said
to-day.
If the report is approved, these
words will be stricken out, "For Thine
is the kingdom, and the power and the
glory forever."
"That clause was not in the origi
nal translation, and 13 an outburst of
praise rather than prayer," said Mr.
Duckworth. "It was added by trans
lators. Some of the prayer books of
the church have the Lord's Prayer
without that clause. The purpose of
the commission in making the recom
mendation is to standardize the prayer
books so all will be alike."

SCHOOLS TO BUY
BIG WAR CANOES?
Plan to Make Labor Day Three-
Cornered Race Annual Event;
Committees Wednesday
Central, Technical and Steelton high
schools may eacn pui-cnase one of the
big "war" canoes to insure future cham
pionship races every year if this spec
tacular event between the three insti
tutions can be successfully arranged as
planned for the annual Labor Day re
gatta.
The plan is to wind up the afternoon
program with this event —a three-cor
nered champion race by crews of ath
letes from the trio of high schools, nnd
to obtain the necessary boats a com
mittee, headed bj' W. C. Fisher, is cor
responding with a dozen or more canoe
firms.
If the canoe manufacturers will loan
the boats, the committee will endeavor
to have the three schools take up the
question of purchase, so that in the
future the institutions can have the
boats always at hand.
The report on the "war" canoe end
of the carnival was one of several in
teresting problems relative to the
events, entries, etc.. which were thres
ed out last evening by the executive
committee of the Greater Harrisburg
Navy, the committee which is arrang
ing the Labor Day event. At least a
dozen other committees will have to be
named, including canoe races, swim
ming races, tilting matches, tub and
umbrella races and other specialties,
decoration, fireworks, music—all of
which will have to get down to real
business as the regatta will be held
Just one month hence. All these com
mittees. it is expected, will be selected
at another meeting of the executive
committee to be held Wednesday, Au
gust 9, at the "Municipal Port."
The committee on decorations will
have charge of the various decorative
schemes and will be in position to offer
any suggestions canoeists or motorboat
men may wish for decorating their own
craft. The Jovian League committee,
recently appointed to offer its services
to the decorations committee, will serve
as an advisory committee on illumina
tion.
The Navy will meet Monday evening
at he "Municipal Port," the boathouse
managed by George K. Keist, oft the
foot of South street.
Importance of Good
Roads in Preparedness
The suggestions which many influ
ential newspapers have been making
editorially for a unification of the
plans for better highways have been
accorded the strongest endorsement
by the automobile associations, auto
mobile manufacturers and those con
nected with the tire industry. The
suggestion that country highways be
laid in cement rather than asphalt,
macadam or in special broken stone
paving is also meeting with approval.
Colonel Samuel J. Colt, president of
the United States Rubber company,
said recently to a representative of
these newspapers:
"In your editorials and news you are
doing a helpful and constructive thing
in bringing to the attention of the of
ficials in the States and cities the nec
essity for improved highways. When
our country roads and city thorough
fares are properly paved it means in
creased traffic and easier methods of
communication. This will have its
beneficial effect on the cost of living,
as it will permit the farmers to bring
their produce into the market places
on a quicker schedule and at a lower
cost for motorcar operation.
. Good roads will greatly increase the
percentage of touring, and this will
mean a more even distribution of the
money spent by the affluent who are
now forced to limit their excursions
into the country to the few highways
that are in passable condition.
"Underlying all other considerations
is the one of national preparedness.
The great drives that have been made
in Europe by all of the armies were
possible only because the highways
were In perfect condition. This coun
try would be in sad straits If merchan
dise and supplies for a field army had
to be hauled over our dirt roads in
the Spring or Fall when mud Is hub
deep. As one Interested in the vehic
ular industry in America, I am warm
ly appreciative of the work you are
doing for the betterment of road con
ditions."

Plattsburg Army on the March.
Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1916.
The third day of the march in
which three of the Plattsburg regi
ments of seasoned rookies are pitted
against the fourth plus a squad Ton
of cavalry and some artillery, shows
the 7,000 businessmen and students
to be in excellent condition and cap
able of more than the 12-mile iiike
over dusty roads, which was followed
this morning by strenuous action be
tween the two armies. A rattle of
musketry greeted the advancing
hordes in a narrow defile flanked by
steep foothills at about 10:45 A. M.
For thirty or forty minutes the firing
continued, while reinforcements were
rushed up from the rear and the tide
turned In favor of the greater number
of troops.
The work this week and until the
close of the present camp will con
sist of marching and fighting. Camp
is pitched at noon each day in a new
locality, and the weather conditions
are ideal. The soldiers rise at 4:45
each morning and taps sound at 10
o'clock, but it isn't necessary to make
an inspection, for experiment has
already proven that late hours and
hard physical labor aren't agreeable.
Sanitation and care of the person is
impressed upon each company and
every camp is an example of the
preaching. The afternoons are spent
mainly in cleaning fifles, bathing,
wasning clothes and resting.

arrival was interested in knowin
whether or not the rookies wore unt

The nights are bitterly cold, unles

President Hibben coined a new e*

as being "Consciousness of obligatio
and readiness for service." He struc
a responsive chord when he mentione
the splendid type of manhood servic
shown by this year's West Point grad
