12 CHURCHES WILL RESUME ALL REGULAR SERVICES; PASTORS TO SPEAK ON LABOR TOPICS' PLAN TRAINING OF TEACHERS Arrange For Instructors in Sunday Schools With Better Knowledge of the Work Much has been spoken about Church Unloh that has accomplished) little. Some things, however, have been doing that mean more than talk. Through the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denomina tions in the United States and Can ada, thirty different denominations have arranged to push their respec tive plans for the training of Sun- i day school teachers in such a con-! certed way that each will help every j other and in effect make it one sim- | ultaneous drive for better teachers for Sunday schools in all the vic-i nominaUons. A very healthy and desirable union is thus being realized. Not an organic unity secured by compromise but a practical union in which these churches are getting together by working together. The Rev. George T. Webb, D.D., the secretary of the Sunday School ( Council, has just completed a tourj of the United States and Canada, during which he has met, in seven-j teen conferences, the denomina tional Sunday school field men of. thirty different communions for the consideration of this Simultaneous Teacher Training Drive. The at- j tendance at all of the conferences; was good beyond expectation, andj an encouraging enthusiasm was. manifest everywhere. The plan of co-operation does not] restrict any church in its own work. | but enables all to work together in the promotion of their programs so that each one helps every other. The time of the Teacher Training Drive is in September and October, when thirty days will be devoted toj the promotion of teacher training as a distinct and permanent depart- j ment of every Sunday school in l North America. The goals vt the drive are as fol lows: 1. At least one teacher training class in every Sunday school in North America, meeting at the Sun day school hour. 2. A monthly workers' conference in every Sunday school, meeting at least ten months out of the year. \ 3. A Mid-week Teacher Training class for present Sunday school Teachers in every Sunday school where such a class is needed. 4. A co-operative Community Training school of religious educa tion for every community where de sired and practicable: this school to have three functions: (alto do; graduate and specialization work: (b) to -train leaders for classes in the local churches; Oc) to provide central training class facility for those churches unable to maintain their own classes. 5. A definite effort-to be made to ward helping every Sunday school of North America to a right selec tion and use of current literature and books on religious psychology, ped agogy. and Sunday school organiza tion and management.

Stamets, pastor of the Augsburg Lutheran Church, who during the month of August was on his vacation has returned and will i occupy his pulpit on Sunday. AUGUST 31, 1918. There is a movement in music circles in the city to start a choral society for the season. It has been suggested that there are plenty of voices from which to draw for an ac tive, faithful membership. It further has been suggested that in the event of the organization an oratorio could be given, the proceeds from which could be devoted to one of the great war funds toward which Harrisburg has been giving so liberally. It has been a number of years since one of the really great oratorios has been given in splendid style to which Har risburg had been accustomed. "There seems no reason why we cannot have a choral organization here'," writes a correspondent, "and we ought to have a good one that would become permanent. This is no reflection on the Christian Endeavor Choral Union, directed by Prof. Frank A. MCCarrell and which has done good work, its last rendition having been Mendelssohn's 'St. Paul,' given last spring in the Tech auditorium." The suggestion certainly is worth the consideration of the musical people of the city. There are good voices Just waiting to be grouped into a militant, enthusiastic, permanent so ciety, whose object shall be, probably twice a year, the singing of the works of the masters. "There is noth ing like a singing city," writes the correspondent. "Let us get together soon and form a choral society, hav ing in mind a definite and worthy purpose." The choir of St. Stephen's Episco pal Church will resume its active work at the services to-morrow with Prof. Alfred C. Kuschwa in charge. Usually, there are between 30 and 40 voices in this choir and the music sung includes numbers written by the very best composers. Each year either an oratorio or a cantata is sung, and the talent under Prof. Kuschwa is capable of singing the solo parts without the aid of outside talent. Last season Gounod's "Gal lia," and Maunder's "Prom Olivet to Calvary," were the special numbers, together with Mendelssohn's "Hear My Prayer." Mrs. R. M. Corkle has been play ing the organ at the Regent theater for several days during the absence of Miss Merchant, the regular organ ist, who is away on her vacation. Mrs. Corkle will be remembered as having played at St. Stephen's Epis opalc Church several seasons as sub stitute for Prof. Kuschwa. Labor Day to Be Held At Park Street U. E. Labor Day will be appropriately observed in Park Street United Evangelical Church to-morrow even ing when the pastor, the Rev. A. E. Hangen, will preach on the subject., "What Does Jesus Say About Work and Wages?" Apropos the discus sion the pastor says, "There aro those in and out of the church who say, the pulpit ought to stick to the Gospel, when a subject of this kind is announced. But the question is, Did Jesus say anything bearing on this question of work and wages? If He did, it is part of the Gospel of Jesus. And the Gospel-preacher, to be true to the whole Gospel teach ing, must declare also what is the 1 pronouncement of Christ on this 'Question. It smacks of stupidity or ! prejudice or both to say that that 1 preacher who takes the time and the pains to inform his hearers what is ithe Gospel of Jesus concerning poli tics, industry, business, society, is not •preaching the Gospel.' If he did not, he would not be preaching the full Gospel of his Master."
