16 HARRISBURG DISTRICT OF M. E. CHURCH jS IN FLOURISHING CONDITION DISTRICT SHOWS MUCH PROGRESS Report at M. E. Conference Displays a Splendid Growth Lewistown, Pa., March 24.—Lifting before the members of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, in session here, a standard that will compel them to measure up in some degree to that type of Christianity that was illus trated in the life of the Master, Bishop McDowell pleaded for a preaching that will hit the mark and a pastoral work that will bring results. Not that kind of pastoral visiting that is known as peddling civility around the community, declared the speaker, but that kind which leaves a man physically and mentally ex hausted at the end of the afternoon as if he had just gotten over a spell of typhoid fever. But there is nothing like it and that pays so much in re sults. If a man puts his heart along side of one in sorrow, or on the other hand resists the devils let loose In a community, he will feel that virtue has gone out of him. He believed not only in a personal devil, but the plu rality of devils is what bothered him. Commend Eaglosmcre Report of the Wllllamport district I was read by the superintendent, Dr. H. L. Jacobs, which brought to light some interesting data concerning that territory of such changing conditions. Keport emphasized the fact that these times call for ministers of deep re ligious experience to meet present-day conditions. The Eaglesmere Institute was commended for its work, and Dickinson Seminary, with forty-nine young men studying for the ministry, I increase in number of students, and the institution modernly equipped, re ceived recommendation. President B. <'. Conner was highly complimented lor his efficient administration. An increase in benevolences was an nounced with an aggregate sum of ■ 4 15,890 paid on Indebtedness. One hundred and ninety-six deaths are re ported. There were 1,0000 conver sions, with 870 joining in preparatory membership, while 150 joined other denominations, there being an increase of ISO full members. Reference was made by Dr. Jacobs to the fact that an invitation will be extended to hold the 1918 session of conference at Newberry. Dr. J. F. Heisse, editor of the Meth odist, published in Baltimore. Dr. Uoucher and J. L. Alcock, a layman, all of Baltimore, spoke In behalf of the Methodist as a church paper. Bishop McDowell added his endorse ment by saying that the Methodist was needed in his episcopal area for the sake of the Kingdom. A resolution that the Central Penn sylvania Conference be asked to raise SI,OOO as a supplemental fund for the Methodist and be urged to raise the subscription list over 3,000. the details to be left to be worked out by the dis trict superintendents, was lost by a vote taken by ballot. Bishop J. W. Hamilton, chancellor of the American University, Washing ton. D. C., grave an informing address upon education as related to the church and world movements. He stated that one-third of the population of the United States is in the church ' and big men are reqtiired to grasp the world view of things we have to do. Education rules the world, whether good or bad. Illiteracy is a terrible thing, and there is more in Massa chusetts than in South Carolina. Our greatest danger lies in the alienation of our education. Protestant and re ligious education will save the world, for the Church is the foundation of the world, he said. Harrisburg District Flourishing Dr. A. S. Fasick, superintendent of the Harrisburg district, read his re port. which showed the following fig ures: Organized classes. 196, with more than 5,000 members; 45 home departments with an enrollment of 1,200; 52 cradle rolls with 1,500 babies; 70 Epworth Leagues have a member- j ship of 3,715 and 40 junior leagues I with 1,664 members; mission study classes, 36, with 469 students, and 41 classes for religious instruction of chil dren. Women's organizations received much praise for the efficient manner in which they conduct their educational programs and their large contributions to the church. The Methodist Episcopal Union of Harrisburg and vicinity is interesting itself in the plans of a new Epworth t'hurch. Many Big Improvements Two new churches have been built in the district during the year, the ' 'amp Curtin Memorial, Harrisburg, and one at Ridgq Avenue, York; also two new parsonages were erected, one at Fort Loudon and one at Fayette ville, Greenvillage charge. Improvements on churches aggre gate an expenditure of $16,777. Stev ens Memorial has bought the property adjoining the church for a new Sun day school and parish house. A total of {15,365 was paid on indebtedness. A grand total of $36,999 was raised for benevolences. There was an in crease of 51,675 to pastors' salaries. Dickinson College. Carlisle, in this district, was reported to be in a pros perous condition and the educational jubilee ought to mean much. Commend Dr. Fox At the afternoon sesion a resolution offered by Dr. Jacobs was adopted commending the work and spirit of Dr. J. D. Fox as a member of this conference seven years. The following young ministers hav ing completed their studies in the con ference course and on proper repre sentation of their respective district superintendents were elected to elders' orders: H. S. Crammer, C. F. Himes, 1. S. Hodgson, J. E. Jacobs, D. A. Sower, E. J. Symonds and W. B. Cook.

The present need is the old time revival fire and great community movements. Laymen Arrive Many laymen arrived to-day and will consult with members of the cabi net concerning their respective churches.

P. Shriner, of Altoona; Dr. J. S. Lauser, of Shamokln. are prominently mentioned for the districts. OFFERING FOR DISABL MINISTERS' FUN GIVEN BY LUTHERANS HERE The opening gun in the campaign in this district of the Lutheran Church of the General Synod to se cure an endowment fund for the care of the aged and disabled ministers, will be fired to-morrow in city church es when the first offering will be taken. The Rev. G. M. Diffenderfer, of Carlisle, who is greatly interested In the movement, said: "The campaign to secure pensions for aged clergymen, now being car j ried forward by nearly every Protest ! ant church, is one of the worthiest and most vital movements that ever engaged the attention of a religious organization. To turn a faithful min ister adrift after forty years of faith ful service or dole out a pittance to him in 'charity' is a libel on both civilization and Christianity. But do the leaders of this campaign realize that pastoral pensions mean church consolidation. This fact 'leaps to the eye' as the French say, if one turns to the small town and rural districts. A certain village with 1,500 inhabit ants has eight Protestant churches. It is a very prosperous little place, but it cannot pay adequate salaries to these eight pastors even during their active career, llow then, can It do its part in pensioning them? It can't and GREAT WEEK AT MARKET SQUARE Dr. Russell, Dr. Hawes and J. R. Henry Conducting Splendid Scries of Services The activities at Market Square Pres byterian Church during the past week have been directed to the one great end of converting men and women. The work has been carried on under the leadership of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. George Edward Hawes, with the Rev. Robert McWatty Russell, D. D., LL. D., of the Moody Bible Institute, as the preacher, and J. R. Henry as the leader of the singing. The work has had two phases, the Bible teaching for Christians at the I 4 o'clock service each afternoon and the gospel preaching, especially adapt ed for those who are not Christians or have not made a confession of their faith, at the evening service at 7.30. Dr. Russell has made an exceedingly favorable impression in both kinds of work. Studies in "The Acts" and in •John" have not been academic; they have been a direct application of the great facts and truths to the daily ex periences of men and women living in the twentieth century. Simplicity, in terest and conclusiveness are marked characteristics of all his sermons. The after-meetings which have been held at the close of the regular evening services have been marked by a deep spirit of prayer. The same simplicity and directness which mark the meet ings as a whole are evident in the man ner of extending the invitation to any who desire to make a confession of faith. The session of the church meets immediately at the cloie of the after meeting and those who will are invited to come to the church parlor to meet the session for the declaration of their faith and their purpose to lead a Chris tian life. During the week a number' have met the session. I'lan Series of Suppers The meetings have been growing in interest and in attendance and all tho indications are for a second week even more successful than the first has been. Dr. Russell will preach to-mor row, both morning and evening. The i men of the church, through the Men's Missionary Society, are preparing for ! a series of Latin-American suppers for ! men. These suppers will be held in the church parlors on April 10, 16 and 24. After supper each evening there will be an address on Latin America by a man who can speak at first hand. Dr. Thornton B. Penfield, who lectured recently on Latin America for the Y. W. C. A., will be the first speaker. He was one of the managers of the great Panama Conference on Religious Work In Latin America and after the conference toured South America with a number of the leading men of the conference. eorge L. an engineer with the State High way Department, who spent three years in Brazil on engineering projects, will be the second speaker. Charles D. Hurrey, secretary of the Committee l on Friendly Relations among Freign Students, who for four years was Y. M. ■C. A. secretary for all of South America, will be the third speaker. Tickets will be sold for the suppers at SI.OO for the three. The regular service next Friday evening will be in the nature of a pre paratory service, preliminary to the Communion service which will be held" on Sunday, April 1. At the Bible reading in Market Square Church yesterday afternoon there was a good attendance despite the weather, and a very deep interest. The speaker, Dr. Russell, dwelt prin cipally upon one petition of Christ's prayer, for believers: "1 pray not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from the evil." The points made by the speaker were: (1) Christ pro tects by implanting in the believer the sense of peril; or endowing htm with spiritual sensitiveness to danger. (2) By furnishing a robust spiritual health which gives him unity to contagion. (3) By furnishing a now environment through faith so that we live in the larger things of the future. (4) Through the personal fellowship of Christ by the Holy Spirit. In the evening the Ethiopian Eunuch was considered under the two aspects of "A Model Seeker and a Model Christian." As a seeker he was earnest, persistent, teachable, and obedient. As a model Christian he went on his way rejoicing over new truth, over new relation to God and over new opportunity for service.

A fund must be rais ed to care for the old of the clergy now in active service and for those already superannuated, and then ihe (churches must face and solve the problem of getting together or see all their work go for nothing. Predicts Church Union . "Fortunately, the movement for church union is progressing at least as rapidly as the pension fund, though no one has yet pointed out the vital connection between the two. !In Western Canada, the Metho dist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches have voted to consolidate and are working out the details. In an Arizona town. nipe different churches were fused into one. Lesser ; combinations are reported from all over the country. As nearly as so young a movement can be appraised, the tendency is to consolidate Prot estant churches into three great ■groups, which may be called the rit ualistic, the evangelical and the lib eral. With such a combination of re sources and co-ordination of effort, the religious needs of the country could be served far better than now, and there would be no difficult in caring for pastors who have given their lives to the work."
