METHODIST CHURCH SURVEY OF SUN B One of the interesting parts of the program of the Central Penn sylvania conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Church will be the reportr of the survey of the Sun bury District. This survey was directed by the Rev. A. S. Williams, of Camp Cur tin Church, this city. The report covera twenty-seven pages and is made interesting by charts which strikingly touch the conditions over the district. Two whole counties lie within the district, viz.: Montour and Colum bia. Large portions of Union. Northumberland, and Luzerne and much smaller portions of Lycoming (one appointment), Carbon, Schuyl kill and Snyder counties are. also included. Light red lines enclose the circuits, showing unoccupied spaces between, but not the cha,uftc ter of the same. The District meas ures seventy-six and one-half miles from West to East and forty-eight miles from North to South and covers approximately 3,500 square miles. The report points out: "In the sepse of a sufficient num ber of churches the Sunbury Dis trict is Christian. There are 450 church edifices in this territory, ap proximately an edifice for every 500 people. Were we considering Pro testant churches the ratio of edi fices to the Protestant population would be larger. It is estimated that the Roman Catholic churches in this District have a capacity of over 1,- 400, while the average Protestant church has a capacity of 460. There are not too many churches if all the people would and could attend service. Of course there is neces sity for re-locating some of them. In many of the rural parts the popu lation lias decreased. On this ac count there is an over-cliurched con dition in many of the communities. "The District is strongly Protest ant. In eight c6mmunities in the coal area Protestantism is the mi nority. Irt all the other parts it is dominant. The Methodist Epis copal Church is the largest Protest ant body. In tlie district as a whole the Presbyterian Church will stand next to the Methodist in strength of numbers. In nine communities, principally rural, the over-churched condition is doing great injury. This is the great church problem in these over-crowded parts. There are four points where pastors re port that our own church ought to abandon to other denominations while at ten other places there ought to be an abandonment on the part of other churches in our favor. In other words the Methodist church seems to be the strongest church in thes* depleted, and over-cliurclied fields. Wormleysburg C. E.

Instructor at Juniata College to Address Men's Mass Meeting Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis, in structor of Philosphy and Education at Juniata College, will address the Sunday afternoon Men's Mass meet ing in Fahnestock Hall to-morrow afternoon at 3.30. . Dr. Ellis will speak on the subject, "Does It Pay to be Good." Special hiusic will bo furnished by tho Rutherford Y. M. C. A. Glee Club. Dr. Ellis has been lecturing for many years before every variety of audience. He was one of tho six evangelists selected to assist In the Men and Religion Forward Move ment at Johnstown in 1912. His lecture is a serious but wholesome treatment of a great problem con fronting men. Dr. Ellis has received the en dorsement of many men prominent in educational and civic circles. Among them is this comment from Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh; "His training and experience are both exceptional." "All sides of the church life isj presented in this comprehensive study of the devotional life and the j problem:! of material interest the paragraph on rural work is as fol lows; Rural Problem "The rural problem in the dis trict is acute as it is in all parts of the country. A failing member ship, an absentee minister, a care less lay leadership, a church which lias not seen the need of beintf a social center, these combine to make a very trying problem. The solu-1 tion lies at the door of the Confer ence. We have said there are three things which explain the unequal increase in membership when we compare the larger towns and cities with the country but we did not speak of the reason. The pastor, the rural pastor, is the crux of thin prohlem, he must be able to appreciate rural life, lie must know rural life, he must be able to teach the farmer to understand his own life. He must, live with his people, not far away from them. Tlie Conference should locate pas tors with the people. That is, the pastor ought not be required to elo all the sacrificing himself in order to serve efficiently a country charge. The farmer is not a poor man these days and shout* be asked to give more liberally in time and money to the church, but until he sees his great privilege, pastors who serve these charges ought not to carry the whole burden. Before the state compensation insurance law was, passed the families of employes meeting with accident were com pelled to stand the los themselves. There is now no compensation law in tho church and the pastors are carrying the burden of rural work themselves. The rural pastors of the Sunbury District are paid an average salary of $950, including house rent, they must keep a horse or automobile. They cannot con tinue long on such support in a day when the dollar is very much shrunken. The stronger churches! for years have benefited from the exodus from the country and should support liberally through th proper society any movement having in it possibility for a more stable and efficient rural work. When it is possible to give the coun- j try a real rural pastorate? The sympathies of country people will be enlarged and deepened. There will be the cultivation of* the social life of the community, the promo tion of better farming, the develop ment ol' unconquerable spirit in moral reform, and best 6f all, a new birth of genuine missionary in terest. Pre-Conference Sermon at Grace M. E. Church I->r. Robart Bagnell, pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church State street near Third, will preach his last sermon of this conference year Sunday evening at 7.30 on "The Intolerenco of Christianity", j Dr. Bagnell has completed his lirst j year at Grace Church and he leaves j Harrisburg on Tuesday, the 19th, to attend the annual conference of! the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is held in WlUiamsport from March 19tli to March 26th. Dr. Bagnell's report of the activities of Grace Church during the past year will be a report that will show that Grace Church has made more pro gress In the past year in all acti vities, religious, patriotic, social, and otherwise than she has ever made before in a single year. The Fourth Quarterly Conference of Grace Church which met last Wednesday evening extended an In vitation to Dr. Bagnell to return to Grace Church for the coming conference year. The District Superintendent, Dr. Morris E. Swartz was instructed by this same Quar terly Conference to make known the wishes of Grace Church to the presiding Bishop in regards to the return of Dr. Bagnell to Grace Church. John K. Rote, John P. Melllck, and Charles W. 801 l were elected to represent Grace Church at the Laymen's Meeting which will be held Saturday, March 23rd, at WUliamsport, Pa. John R.

STILL GROWING Big Hill Church Has Large Membership and Free of Deht The work at Stevens Memorial Methodist Church still continues with increasing prosperity. The present membership of the church is 1,505. The membership roll re veals the marvelous fact that eight, hundred and one members, out of the grand total of 1,505, have been received by the Rev. Dr. Clayton Albert Smucker during the past four years. Since the beginning of his pastorate, a little more than f;iur years ago, the church property has been freed from all debt. Too much cannot be said in praise of the Capi tal City Lyceum Course conducted by the church during the past year. The following is a list of financial benefits derived from the course: Epworth League. $150.00; Men's Rible Class, $21.00; Red Cross Aux iliary, $119.00; Carpet and Social Hall Fund. $100.00; Male Chorus, $57.00. The Red Cross Auxiliary was the first to be organized in the city. Early last May Mrs. Clayton Albert Smuckrt- made a call for workers. The women of this great church with their usual enthusiasm responded in large numbers. All during the hot months, when other machines were quiet, the machines of this auxiliary were buzzing and humming urged on by the motive power of loving and sympathetic womanly hearts and fingers. The work result has been tremendous for a single church organization. Dr. Smucker, with his many war ser mons, has done much during the year in his church in getting young men to "Join the Colors." The new service flag has 58 stars, represent ing 57 young men and one young woman. Miss Rlanche lonu Fiester, a member of Stevens Memorial, left New York city last Sunday for France. She is the first Red Cross nurse to go out of this church. The large congregations that crowd the church at almost every service are evidences of unusual popular inter est. To-morrow will be the last Sun-1 day of the Conference year. In the morning, at 10.30 o'clock. Dr. Smueker is to preach on "The Speed Mania of the Hour." At night. 7.30 o'clock, a Ratification league Ser vice will be held. Mf. H. B. Turner is to speak on "Jesus Christ versus John Barleycorn." The minister is scheduled for an address on "Ameri ca's Greatest Enemy." The Male Chorus and Quartet Choir will 3ing. On Tuesday morning Dr. Smueker leaves tor the anpual session of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, which convenes in Wllliainsport. Pa, At a meeting of the Quarterly Con ference and congregation a few weeks ago the minister was unani mously called to return for the lifth and sixth year. Dr. Smueker has had remarkable success in every di rection during the four and one half years now closing. EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS A series of evangelistic meetings will begin in the Bethel of the Nagle Street Church of God on Sunday eve ning to continue indefinitely. Good singing will be one of the prominent features of these meetings. SERVICES TO START The special two weeks pre-Easter services will begin at the Fourth Street Church of God on Sunday morning.
