22 FEW MINISTERS UNEMPLOYED, SYNOD IS TOLD Presbyterians Find Few Men Available For New Service The business j.)t this morning's meeting of the thirty-seventh session of the Synod of Pennsylvania of the Presbyterian Church, included re ports of committees, election of stated and permanent clerks, and the appointment of .a social servicd co operation committee. The Rev.. Dr. Robert Hunter, of Philadelphia.*vns retained r.s stated clerk, as wis Dr. Benjamin M. Gir.tmill, of the Ante cit>, s permanent clerk. The reporz of the special commit tee on Increase of Candidates for the Gospel Ministry by the Rev. Dr. John E. Tuttie, of Swarthtnore. Philadel phia. proved to lie most interest n-r and was followed by a strong address by Dr. Tuttl" on the subject. "Re cruiting of the Ministry.' The re port stated thai it had been circu lated that there weie 1,000 i.lle min isters in the United States, men of ability and vigor, who dejired em ployment as nntii.-tUrs. AnotSnq ie voit said that !,iioo of the. .' edu cated ministers were out of em ployment. The P eshyterian Com mittee on Vacancies and Supplies, Pr Tuttle's report said, made a very careful investig.Cicn which covered tiie whole United States with the result that only 110 men were found to be unempojed, and of there out •ou nty-four were 'mmedialeiy avail* able. The Three Creations In giving his_address, Dr. '"Vie began with the story of "The Three 1 Orations." The speaker said that 1 the first creation was the creation of the material world as recorded in Genesis. The second creation was that of the spiritual world with the toniing of Jesus Christ and the third creation is the creation of a Chris- I tian democracy through the Giettj World War. This, said the speaker, j is to be the final form in human so ciety of God's creative action. "We stand in the presence of this | lust act of creation asking 'what, comes next?" " continued the speak- j "ln every great battle it is said' there is a moment when the results of the battle hangs in the balance. It may go to friend or foe. This is > called 'The Ridge of Destiny.' This j is what has come next: a ridge of destiny for us and for the world. In this we face negative dangers, the! danger of relaxing the spirk of self sacritice, the danger of the new ma- j terial prosperity which is to come.! the danger of the undervaluing the part we are to play in finishing the? 1 *.hiid creation. The Church's Place "If we believe anything at all about the Church as it is described in the Bible, and as it appears in history, we must believe that, of all human organizations and institutions, the Church holds the most important place in the making of the New World, and that the most import: nt thing ir connection wlh he Church to-day in this respect, is its leadership in the ministry. To-day the minister must have the place in the New- Era which the prophet had in the building of Israel." Dr. Tuttie then emphasized two tilings which seem imperative for the churches of the synod to do in order to secure an adequate lender ship in its ministry. First of these is the creation of an afmosphere. The speaker continued: "The pdace conference which is soon to meet solemnizes us as we think of the problems that confront and the re sponsibility resting upon it. Lloyd George said the other day that the' result of this peace conferencewould 1 mark the world for all generations j to conie. But solemnizing as this is to us there is something more solemn, and that is that this peace conference is to be the expression of the conscience, heart, mind and spirit of the nations it represents. What we really look upon around that peace table is not a little group of men, but the nations themselves seated there. Not these nten, but the nations they represent will act there, and for their actions will for ever stand at the bar of God's and man's judgment. Need of Ministers "In other words, the peace con- j fercnce will be the product of the atmosphere of the nations it repre sents. This is what we mean when we ask for the creation of a new spiritual atmosphere in the synod: that when our boys and young men come to the momentous moment of the choice of life work, their con- 1 science, mind and heart with which i they act, may be the expression of the highest livels of life in the h.onte 1 and church. If they choose on the j basis of unworthy motives it will, after all, be the choices which their i homes and churches have deter- j mined." The speaker then, made a plea. for more energetic methods of re cruiting the ministry, urging espc- ! dally that a given Sunday be set • apart throughout the state for the recruiting of the ministry, when ev- : cry minister shall preach a sermon on the claims and opportunities of the ministry, and w;hen it shall be presented in all the Sunday schools and meetings of the young people. The sociul service co-operation committee appointed this morning includes three ministers and two elders. Its work will be along the lines of social purity and civic ' righteousness. The committee in- , eludes: Dr. W. B. Jennings, of the ! Philadelphia Presbytery: Dr. Lewis; S. Mudge. Carlisle Presbytery: Dr. | C. R. Zahnizer, Pittsburgh Presby tery; Elder E. A. Zellar, Philadel phia North Presbytery, und Elder William H. Ridgwuy, Chester Pres- j bytery. The miscellaneous business and ! reports of standing committees this afternoon brought the sessions of; the synod to a close. Tell of Mission Work Dr. G. S. McCune, of Korea, repre- ! seating the Board of Foreign Mis- j sions at the Synod, spoke last night ] of the growing unity in the foreign j Held of labor. He touched upon the i influence which Germany has spread ' among the people of the far East. ' and said that since the war broke ; out a noticeable change has come. | Christianity in the far East was bet- I tered through the war, as the great i nations, including America, have I teen drawn closer together. D■. I McCune's messige was most encour aging to sympathizers of the foreign missions movement. The other speak r of the evening. Dr. Roy B. Guild, of New York City, secretary of the Inter-Church Fed eration of the Council of Federated Churches of America, brought to the attention of his audience the benefits gained through the co-operation of churches in overcoming vice. This unity of action among churches has invaded almost every quarter of the FRIDAY EVENING, I country. The importance of the church federation movement has I been demonstrated by tiie results ob- I tained in dealing with civic prob- Ilems. the speaker pointed out. und concrete evidence of the benefits of tiie movement are numerous. Dr. i Guild cited cases In New York-City, I'ittsbuigh, Indianapolis, Omaha and ! many other places. Another phase of Dr. Guild's ndr dress was his interpretation of the progress being made by Christianity. ; basing the advance and signs of the • times upon the prophecies of Paul. | A survey of international problems l taking into account the trend of mod ern nations, clearly indicates the coming of Christ. The great move ments in the Christian church are also ii dicatlve of the reign of Jesus. Bishop Is Guest A guest of honor at' last night's session was the ltight Rev. James 11. . Darlington, Bishop of the Hafrisburg . Diocese of the Protestant Episcopal ' Church. Dr. Montgomery, Moderator of the Synod, announced the Bishop's 1 presence in the audience, and the lat ter was escorted to the platform dur -1 ing the singing of "America." Bishop Darlington closed the evening session v ith the benediction. At the afternoon session the Synod accepted the invitation of the First Presbyterian Church, of Germantown, to convene there for the sessions to be held In October. 1919. The invi tation was extended through the Itev. [ Dr. William Jennings, of Philadel phia. Resolutions were passed at this session to appoint a committee to petition Governor-elect William sproul to use his influence in enacting legislation in the temperance cause, and for the enforcement of a Chris tian Sabbath in Pennsylvania. Prior to the passing of the resolu tions an address was made by Dr. Gtorge Edward liawes. pastor of Market Square Presbyterian Church In which he reported on the united effort of the churches in the promo tion of temperance. As causes of ex- i tiling intemperance. Dr. Hawes gave i automobiles and cigarets particiU. r j mention. He said that the Sabbath Day instead of being a holy day had , teecme, rather, a holiday. Committers Report The session was also taken up with | tiie reports of committees. Important i addresses were made by the Rev. : Dr. J. It. Davies. of Philadelphia, of the Board of Ministerial Relief, Dr. I Bowlby, of New York City, of the | Lord's Day Alliance, and Dr. Worrell. j of Pittsburgh, of the Board of Tern- ; perance. Follow ing Dr. Bowlby's address a | resolution was passed that the Mod- j erator appoint a committee to formu- t late a plan of action for Sabbath Ob- j servance. Dr. Bowlby prophesied j the enactment of a Federal law for ; observance of the Sabbath. He bases j this belief upon a conference with President Wilson, and the sentiments ' of Secretary of the Navy Daniels. 1 and John Wanamaker. The present j manner of observing the Sabbath Dr. i Bowlby characterized as "German ' Sabbath." Discussion of the New Era Move- ; nient occupied a large portion of J many of the reports and addresses. , Prominent among the plans in con- i nection with tills movement is the ! contemplated raising of" $100,000,00" ! in the next five yer.rg, combining the activities of all the boards and agencies of the General Assembly. ! The assessment carried by the Gen eral Assembly this year is $12,500,000, ' of which Pennsylvania's assessment is one-sixth, $2,700,000. The recon struction work of the church, made necessary by fife changed conditions brought about hy the war, and close ly linked with the New Era Move ment. was emphasized by many speakers.

Had the United States been fighting alone in the present war, the nd- I miral said, its lack of ships would i have been serious and perhaps fatal, ; because it has been learned that the navy must be strong enough not only to protect from invasion, but also I to drive the enemy's navy from the ! seas. • # He told the committee that the | country never has been and prob ( ably never will be again, as well i prepared to build a powerful fleet as jat present. Hvndreds of thousands : of men have become skilled in ship : yards which have been building ves sels for the merchant marine, he said, I and as fast as these yards are re -1 leased from that work the training and experience of these men should be utilized to the greatest extent pos i sible.

HJIRRISBURG TELEGRAPH INMATES OF JAIL ANXIOUS TO WORK ON COUNTY ROADS Men \\ anl to Get Work in the Open, Prison Inspector Learns Prisoners in the county jail are s ntixious to tvork on roads or bridge j repairs, Harry M. Fairchilds. one of the prison inspectors, told the County 1 Commissioners to-day at an Informal conference. Mr. Fairchilds had been asked by County Commissioner Henty M. Stlne whether uhout six prisoners! could be furnished to make repairs to, the large bridge over the Swatara' creek Just west of Hummelstown. Mr. Fairchilds said that many of: the prisoners in the Jail have i om- 1 plained that they have nothing to do* and, with no great amount of -xpr-, cise, have muscular pains. He said they have asked to lie given work outdoors and that the county can have; as many as are needed for the bridge; Work and to make road improvements on the Horseshoe pike from ITum-j melstown to Camphellstown. Recently about twenty-five of the : prisoners were furnished to the state' to niako a new stretch of roadway at Inglenook, eliminating a dangerous j curve. Mr. Fairchilds said the im provement was completed at no ad ditional expense to the county, as the prisoners were given additional clothes and food by the stute author-! ities and a guard was furnished. The! men who were put to work were paid| about 40 cents a day und the total > cost of the labor to the state did not exceed $1.50 a day for each man cm-i ployed, effecting a big saving, as la borers at that time were being paidi as high as $5 a day. I CRIPPLES TO BE EDUCATED AFTER THEY COME HOME Noted Speakers Urge Rehabil itation of Cripples After War The movement for the rehabilita tion of crippled soldiers so that they can earn their own livings when they return to civil life, was given a great impetus here this aftdrnoon with the speeches of H. K. Heydon. head of the Red Cross Institute for Wounded and Crippled Men, of New York, and Michael J. Dowling, famous cripple, who in spite of his physical handi caps, attained great success in life, delivered before the joint meeting of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce, Harrisburg Rotary Club and Kiwanis Club. Henry B. McCormick, chairman of the Rehabilitation Committee of the Home Hercico Committee of the Red Cross, presided. At the head table were Mayor Keister and the officials of the three organizations, besides the speakers. Mr. Heydon, the first speaker, out lined the work that has been done in all the belligerent countries for the education of the war's cripples. The movement began in 1908 in Charleroi, Belgium, he said, when the idea of compensation for crip ples was supplanted by the idea of rehabilitation. The first school for the education of cripples was started •in France. England quickly took up the movement and then Canada. In America, he said, through the Fed erul Board of Vocational .Training, wounded men are given a chance to educate themselves for responsible positions in civil life. The board has provisions to give soldiers $65 a month while they are being educat ed, he said, and there is no limit to the vocations from which they can | choose a way to earn a livelihood. Mr. Howling Speaks i Both speakers urged their listeners not to contribute to beggars, as by | doing so they pay mendicants to aeg. •He said that is shirking their respon [ sibilities, and, instead of giving alms, j they should give the cripples a chance i to make useful men of themselves. A moving picture then was shown, depicting Michael J. Dowling. who early in life lost both legs, his left arm and the fingers of his right arm. carrying out the ordinary activities of a normal businessman. Mr. Dowiing twice has been Speaker of the Minne sota House of Representatives, is | president of the Olivia. Minn., State [ Rank and is a power throughout the i Middle West in good roads, social, banking and war activities. I "If I, with my handicaps, have been i able to accomplish all this." he said, ! "why should a man, because be has lost a few limbs, be thrown into the , bone pile?" Mr. Dowling then gave a number of examples of how crippled men had triumphed over their physical handi caps and accomplished much in life. He declared that the whole secret of success is in the spirit. After re counting how he lost his limbs in a terrific blizzard and achieved success, first as a school teacher, after he had spent two years in the almshouse,] then as a financier, and then as a pol itician, he declared that there is the , same chnnce for all wounded and orlp- ■ pled men to achieve success. He declared that a man doesn't need a start In life to get ahead, that all ! he needs is determination to succeed.; He concluded- with an appeal that' crippled soldiers lie regarded as nor mal men, who must take their places In society and carve out their own j careers. "Don't give the boys charity," he j urged: "give them a chance. Teach i It through the schools and churches that our crippled men must forget the limbs that are gone and develop tbe i parts of their bodies that remain. "Let every soldier who -iturns maimed become a taxpayer and not a tax-eater. Let them marry and create homes of their own after they have elarned to make a livelihood, and o: do away with soldiers' homes. Sol ■! diers' homes are only camouflaged | almshouses."

IS AT WAR Senator Johnson Demands Definite Statement as to America's Russ Policy By Associated Press Washington. Dec. 12. Senator Johnson, of California. Republican, in an nddress to the Senate to-day, demanded a definite statement of the American government's policy toward Russia. He declared a state of war with the Soviet government actually exists without a formal declaration of hostilities, and, ask ing a long series of questions, in troduced a resolution calling upon the State Department for all docu ments and information regarding the nation's course in Russia and upon the War Department for a statement of Ainerieun troops in Russia and casualties among them. Wants I'olk to Expluin For the information of Congress und the American people, Senator Johnson said, he wanted to know whether it is true that this govern ment never replied to a plea froht the Russian Soviet government to help avert the "shameful treaty of ! Brest," and whether the assistant secretary of state, speaking for the j President, refused Intervention last March, stating that to intervene in Siberia "would bo doing in the East ! exactly what the Germans were do ing in the West." Claims Soviet Tender of Help "Is it true," the senator con tinued, 'that the Russian Soviet gov ernment offered through its highest I economic council a program for making America the most favored ] foreign nation in trade anji com | merce and Involving the contrbl by the Allies all those supplies most ; desired by the central empires? "Is it true that representatives [ of the American lied Cross remain ed in Soviet Russia until October, in perfect safety and reasonable com fort even ufter we hud intervened and American troops were lighting the soldiers of the Soviet govern ment? "Is it true that the Department of ' State has refused to allow the Amer ican Red Cross to ship supplies to I Moscow and Petrograd for the re - |tef of the returiling Russian war [trisoners from Germany? "Is it true that the American am bassador and the Dritlsh high com missioner In Russia recommended co-operation with the idpviet govern ment through the American Rail road Mission, that the Soviet gov ernment invited this co-operation and promised control of the Siberian railway to be placed in the hands of his mission, and that theße rec ommendations were refused by the American government largely as a result of misinformation received through the Creel committee, sup ported by leaders and representa tives of the old regime in Russia?" Senator Johnson asked also whether it is true that a Russiun epenking and experienced Hrltish high commissioner, sent to Russia ! lifter the Bolshevikl revolution, re ported as late as May 5, 1918, that ; the Soviet government had eo-op ; crated with the Allies, and that he i believed that intervention In co-op eration with the Soviet government was feasible: and whether the Amer ican government so delayed co-op eration with the. Kerensky govern ment's plun to support the morale of the army and maintain that pro visional government in power as to contribute largely to the overthrow of Kerensky and the success of the Bolshevlki revolution. The Senate foreign relations com mittee and the Slate Department, Senator Johnson said, cannot or have not answered these questions. Criticises Policy of Silence "1 understand, full well," Senator Johnson continued, "that the pecu liar Intolerance which has been fos tered in the pust few months, the state of minded deliberately cultivat ed which has sought to bully and to terrorize either mild objector or seeker for information will look ask ance at one so lost us to ask the 1 facts • concerning Itussie. and our participation in its affairs. But those of us who are neither Bolshe- ; vlkt nor in sympathy with Bolshe vism. of course, wotild be unfit lo sit here if we feared to pursue a; legitimate inquiry."

SilE QUESTION HIM f DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I lam 17 and have been friends with a young woman of the same age for I the past three years. She has been j going aoout for six months with a ' young man of 21, ller mother is .dead, and she has no one except her I father to advise her. Her father up- I proves of the young man. j Now, Miss Fairfax, my friend lias I asked me to question the young man und find out If he intends to continue I going about with her. I would like ! you to tell me whether it is proper for me, as her most confidential friend, to do tills under the circum stances. A. H. W. Your friend is very much mistaken in asking you to do this for her. und the young man might very properly ' resent such interfference. As youi I triend is ifhly 17 she is still too young | to think of marriage, and for tile pres- I ent I should say that it is wiser for I her to pursue her friendships with voung men without turning hei ! thoughts too impatiently in that one i direction. FEARS TO THI'ST HER DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been enguged for eighteen months. I work nights In one of the government shops. One night lust week her shop gave an entertainment out of town and she went without even asking mo. returning home at 1 o'clock in the morning, "with other girls." she says. She is 18 and I am 20. I love her very much, and I am sure she loves ine also. Now, Miss p'alrfax. please advise me what to do, as she Inteds to go there again soon. P. D„ JR. I must remind you that being en gaged to a girl really doesn't glvt you the right to control her. Why is It thut you don't feel that you can trust her? Is she untrustworthy or are you a little Jealous?. Your love for each other ought to Imply confidence. Why not talk It all over with her, j —•ub that in mind? r * * DECEMBER 13, 1918.
