These Interviews were arranged by the National Service Commission of the Presbyterian Church, which is planning at the request of President Wilson to hold more than 500 meet ings in prominent centers through out our country. The clergymen present at these most interesting conferences will later be the speak ers at these meetings.

ELLIS suiting in the calling of two general conferences, on the tirst day of Oc toher, 1891. the Majority, in In dianapolis, lnd., under the leader ship of Bishop J. J. Eslier, and the inority, in Philadelphia, under the I leadership of Bishop Rudolph Cubs. The separation caused no small stir among ministers and la.vmen by the different factions. A final settle ment concerning the disposition of the property was made in court, after which the factions began new church work and were commonly I known as Esherites" and "Cubsites ' I for a number of years. The 'Esherites" continued with the I old church rules and the "Dubsites" | began a new denomination, known I as the United Evangelical Church. I The new work created considerable interest and many new churches i were erected throughout the United i States. Before the- settlement in court it was amusing to see two min | isters or two laymen trying to get ; the keys of the church property j and a number of places two min | isters tried to occupy the pulpit at | the same time. After court there ! was a hustling for new church quarters and in many places, and ' during the same weeks, two church services, two campmeetings, two an nual conferences, two general con ferences. two revival meetings, two picnics, two church socials, etc., were held. In many cases, the families were divided as far as church re lations were concerned, and a num ber of followers joined other de nominations. After the two churches worship ped independently for many years a call has been made in an effort to unite. A call to prayer address i ed to the minister and membership ! of the Evangelical Association and I the United Evangelical Church, j which in part follows: "Grace to you and peace be multiplied iti the knowl edge of God and of Jesus our Lord." : The negotiations, now pending, for i organic union of the two churches i are of so vital and farreaehing an importance as to constitute a call of all Evangelicals to enter into a fellowship of intercession. Bishops S. C. Breyfogel and U. F. Swengel, says: "We appeal, therefore, to the ministry and membership of Evange lical churches, in the secret place of prayer, at family altar, in prayer meeting. and in all public services, to call upon the God of our fathers for divine direction in this hour of i our history, so full of significance. J For this purpose we have agreed to set apart the week beginning Sep tember 23 and ending with Sunday. September 29. 1918. as a special sea son of supplication and intercession of both churches, and suggest that I public announcements of this be made in all congregations." The Evangelical Association has its headquarters and publishing house in Cleveland, 0., and the United Evangelical Church publish ing house is located in this city. The large church edifice in North street, now a lodge hall, was at [ one time the property of the Evan gelical Association. TO DISCUSS THE SUNNY SOUTH Dr. Hawcs to Tell of Trip to Camp Hancock at Mar ket Square "Scenes in 'The New South'" is the subject Dr. G. E. Hawes has chosen for his morning's discourse at Market Square Presbyterian Church | to-morrow. It was known by the public at the time that Dr. Ilawes started on his vacation by going to | Augusta, Ga., to present to the First Presbyterian Church of that place a flag. This flag was in recognition of the many acts of kindness shown to the men of the old National Guard of Pennsylvania by the citizens and churches of Augusta. By the time Dr. Hawes reached Augusta the men from Pennsylvania were in battle on I the Marne. The interest of the Au gusta people in these boys was most intense. Dr. Hawes will tell his peo ple to-morrow about the presenta tion of the flag and about Augusta and Camp Hancock, also about other camps he visited, and other services he was permitted to hold. "I am putting this service in the morning," he said, "because the people who gave the money to send this flag are more likely to be at church in the morning. I want them to know the good their gifts did." Corporal Humphrey Roberts, of the aviation camp at Middletown, will sing—and the hymns which will be used are the ones the soldiers sing. Dr. Bagnell to Give a Patriotic Talk at Grace Grace Methodist Episcopal Church was the scene of the most stirring patriotic meeting last Sunday even ing that was ever held in this his toric church. Very nearly 2,000 peo ple filled every inch of seating and standing space to listen to Dr. Rob ert Bagnell give a patriotic address on "The Progress of the Summer." Time and again this enthusiastic au dience broke into applause when the popular Grace Church pastor relat ed thrilling incidents about our boys "Over There," and not only was the spacious auditorium packed to tho limit, but between 800 and 1.000 people were unable to gain admit tance. This Sunday evening at 7.30 o'clock Dr. Bagnell will again give a patriotic address on "American Leadership in the World War." The chorus choir, uuder the lead ership of Prof. John W. Phillips, will sing some especially attractive pa triotic choruses. In the morning at 10.30 o'clock Dr. Bagnell will preach on "The i Price of Liberty.'

F. Hell Presiding. On Sunday the quarterly com munion service will be held at the 10.45 and 7.30 services. Tho Pur veyor, the weekly bulletin of this church, in its issue of last Sunday contained the following Communion challenge to the constituency of this church: "Kcregistratioii Day" "Last Thursday 10,000,000 men of the United States between 18 and 45, both inclusive, at the call of tho Government, 'registered' for military service against our yet unbeaten foe, Germany. "Sunday, September 22, at 10.45 and 7.30, is Park Street's quarterly Communion service. Practically all who will attend and commune are already 'registered' as soldiers of King Jesus. In this Communion service those will have an opportun ity to reregister. And each one that then comes worthily to the Lord's table will he in the 'Roll Book' of the Army of Jehovah be 'checkmarked,' not as 'missing,' but as being pres ent and still 'stunding by the colors.' Will you and your family bo among these next Sunday? "Says Theodore Roosevelt, 'Our young men ha.ve gone to the other side (and many more will likely go), very many to give up in their joyous prime all the glory and all the beau ty of life to pay the greatest price of death in battle for a lofty ideal. Now, when they are doing that, can not we men and women at home make up our minds to try to Insist upon a loftier idealism here at home?' "The Purveyor wonders how many of our people, when our precious boys are by the thousands going into the bloody trenches, will after Cora i munion Sunday explain their ab- I sence with some such condemning j excuse as 'I went to at ;, 'I ] got up too late;' 'We had company in the home;' 'I just didn't feel like i it;' 'Something occurred between me and my neighbor.' "This should be the biggest Com munion in the history of our church —in numbers, in appreciation of the meaning of Christ's death in our be half, in 'Rating and Drinking Worthily' in blessing for future days.

FIVE POINTS ON THE TOPIC Topic: "Lessons from Bible Char acters."— Heb. 11:32, 40; 12:1, 2. It is impossible to be a hero in anything unless one is first a hero in faith. Jacob. Hur, Exod. 17:10.

"The last of Bible characters was buried almost two thousand years ago, yet are they "alive" and speak to us of this century and generation." "The Bible teaches by precept, but also by the example of the men and women who, in the history of redemp tion there recorded occupied the "center of the stage." (Other Church News on Page 14.)

The super intendent of the Quiet Hour and Evangelism, tho Rev. J. Sala Leland, of Waynesburg, says: "A true Quiet Hour comrade cannot be passive, in active soul, but must be the soul and embodiment of all that is fruitful, active and vital in Christian living. "Our appeal at this time to our comrades, is an appeal to tho real heroic heart and life. It takes tho real Christian hero to pray for the great and hard things, for the things that seem so difficult to gain, for the things that mean perserving and con tinual prayer. "George Muller, the founder of the Orphans' Home, near Bristol, Eng land, is an example of heroic prayer.

Ho says, 'Arrange thy affairs, if possible, so that thou can leisurely devote two or three hours every day or so not merely to devo tional exercises, but to the very act of secret prayer and communion with God. Endeavor seven times a day ta withdraw from business and company ana lift up thy soul to God in pri vate retirement. Begin the day by rising after midnight and devoting some time amid the silence and dark ness of the night to this sacred work. Hot tiie hour of opening dawn find thee at this same work. Bet tho hours of nine, twelve, three, six and nine at night witness the same. Bo res olute in llis cause. Make all practical sacrifices to maintain it. Consider that thy time is short, and that busi-i ness and company must not bo ali lowed to rob thee of thy God/ "But to many such a program seems at once impossible, and they are not heroic enough to try. To Judson it impossible not to be, for his first alleginnce was to his God. His was a great life built upon a groat foundation, and tho building erected will ever endure "It is said that Judson long en tertained a desire to work for the Jews, but was hindered. In his last illness lie learned that a little book he had written had gained some con verts and a work followed. Tears tilled his eyes as he said. '1 have never prayed earnestly for anything, but at some time no matter how distant, and somehow probably in the last shape I should have .devised it came." There is need of a great multitude of heroic prayers such as this man's were." "Then to-day there is a patriotic reason why men should pray. There is a call that our democracy shall in the fullest be Christian. On our last' Thanksgiving day and on our last Memorial Day we have been called by our president, as a nation, to pray. There has been a great response, and the prayers of a nation have united as one, and wo are now waiting at His altar. "May the spirit of patriotism bring every Kndeavorer and comrade to an importune prayer that God shall rula and reign." To Hold Bond Day at Fourth Street Church Sunday will ho "Bond Day" at the Fourth Street Church of God. At 11 a. m. Dr. William N. Yates will preach on "Liberty Bonds" and in the evening at 7.30 the subject will be "Bonds of Slavery." Those sub jects have been chosen because of the nearness of the Liberty Loan campaign that the people may be stirred to do their best and that our eyes may be open to a great field of spiritual truth.
