One of Greatest Needs of Is to Make the Men Awa and Not Le This la the arat af a series, OW New htetheeltat Mlalatera. By C. CLanaia Morris. "Tea, I am very much In favor of a church advertising. It Is almost necessity." It was Rev.

I said "new he Is new to that pastorate, but to Vontgomsrlana ha la an "old Last year ha waa Presiding Elder of ths Montgomery District, and before that he had bean returned at various times, by ths Conference to two Montgomery Methodist charges. He Is not a "radical" but Rev.

Mr. Moore la very progressive and his Ideas of church work are very modern. "There waa a -time," said Mr. Moore, "when we could get along without church advertising; but we can't now. The young people are harder to reach so that advertising Is a sans, sensible sort of way Is, absolutely necessary.

"With the present order of things, there are ao many other attractions such a variety of allurements, that It Is not so easy to reach the younger generation. There are so many other attractions, auch a variety of allurements, that it is not so easy to reach the younger generation. There are so many things drawing them ln the other direction. I thing our young folk are becoming Indifferent to religious affairs. I would not say they are irreligious'; It Is simply that othsr things are attracting their attention." Offer Young People.

Mr. Moore thinks that tha great need of today is to get the young people converted. He considers this Is the most Important missions of the modern church. When asked on whom he laid the principal blame of the indifference of the boys and girls, the pastor of ths Court Street Church replied that one of -the chief causes of this Indifference is the lack of religious home training; that parents do not Instill their children with the proper feeling towards the church. "The day has gone by," said Mr.

Moore, "when parents take their children to church with them. Now the parents themselves hardly go. So how could you expect the children? That Is why I say the parents are largely to blame. "One of the greatest needs of tha modern church," Mr. Moore believes, "is to make the men awaken to their sense of responscibillty He is full of praise for the women.

The trouble is," he says, "that the men leave everything to the women and the latter are doing part of the men's work. "I do not meant to eay," he explained, "that the women are doing too much It is the men, who are doing On Friday Evening Jan. 14th, Mr. and Mrs. E.

Upon entering the beautifully decorated and well arranged home for tha Ovaslon the Baracaa were ahown to the left and the Jr. Phllatheaa to the right. After a short time of handshaking arid getting better acquainted the announcement was made that "Tha feast was now ready." The dining room was artistically decorated. The color scheme, white and pink, being carrlod out ln the klllarney roses and the pink and white carnations.

But all this faded Into the background when ones' eyes had scanned the table, decorated ln more attractive way with turkey, ham, and salads galore which formed part of the first course.

NOTABLE CONVERSIONS IN JAPAT. "The national evangelical campaign. BO enthusiastically planned for Japan, Is going forward with great success. Every meeting gathers a large, attractive audience," writes Bishop M. C.

Harris from Toklo. "Conspicuous among the results already achieved." says the "bishop, "Is the conversion of Mr. Morimura, a man Of great wealth and Influence. "Although In his seventy-eighth year he is still mentally alert. iMuch careful Study of the Bible and serious reflection preceded his definite aland for Christ.

And after their ''name" la made, they quickly gather In tha aheoklea. Some of the rlcheat men In the eotfntry are doctora. Lawyers, too.

If they have the proper training, after a few yeara of atruggla can make big money. But ministers of the Ooapel! Of course they take up tbelr profusion merely for the love of It, ao why should they expect to get paid In conV- y.riBon l0 tnetr services? As a general rule, people look upon minister as servants of God and servants of mankind, and think no further. Tea It la rather materialistic to think of salaries ln connection with the ministry, yet, strange to say, preachers have ts live just the same aa the rest of mankind! Sometimes a minister may struggle along for years, perhapa with a growing family, on a ere pittance. Once ln a while you will find a radical who ia making money. And it Is alays the radicals who make money, those who can "act" as well as preach; those who can hypnotize their audience Into believing that they, and they alone, can tranamlt the word of Ood.

But as a general rule, do you ever find a rich minister? The salaries theyx receive are enough to live on and nothing more. They cannot possibly save. So when they are incapacitated, what shall they do to make a living? How shall they live? (eaeetioa of Pensions. The question of pensions for preachers Is the solution. This article from the Literary Digest gives an illuminating account of this discussion: "Justice too long deferred." Is The Chicago Herald's characterization of the plans for pensioning retired ministers -which were indorsed by a church congress at San Francisco lost summer.

It was shown that the Protestant churches are already at work securing fifty million dollars for the proper care of retired or disabled ministers and their ami ilea and it was estimated that over sixty millions are needed. Since the conference the campaign for ministerial pensions haa engaged the strenuous activities of the various responsible church boards, and haa been given both publicity and editorial aupport by the lay aa well as the religious press. "It Is ths Mvs topio ln the denominations today, declares The Detroit Free Press, which adds these words of hearty approval: "The adoption of a pension system would do much to attract more young men to the ministry, for no matter how strong the spiritual call a man feels, he cannot be blamed for hesitating to enter a profession which Is so poorly paid. In general, that he cannot hope to provide for his old age and that of those dependent upon him. oul of the inadequately paid preacher, no matter how strong perplexea when he contrasts the drals built ln honor of the God he preaches with the deprivations he endures in order to spread Soa.pe' message.

Less magnificent churches Tnd better rewards to the humble tollers in the field would seem more befitting the spirit of Christianity. Sometime, similarly oh The Sioux Falls Press, "society will give these men their due" "We pension the faithful railroad man and the superannuated of scores of industries.

These salaries, declares Mr Bmltnv conclusively prove that if the preacher were to save he would rob himself arid fam-lv of the necessities of life, and crip-pie his own efficient services as pastor and preacher. The Methodist church, like several other denominations. annual collections, and has set apart Spends from the publishing house, for retired ministers. But.

says Secre-tarv Hlna-eley. of the Board of Conference Claimants, as quoted by Mr Kmlth at the San Francisco meet-lng "the special movement at tne Present time In all denominations Is to increase permanent funds the income from which shall be used 'or the benefit of retired ministers and widows" Methodists are trying, according to Dr. Hinueley, "First, to establish a retiring annuity or pension, based on the years of service given by the minister; and secondly, the providing of such an additional amount as may he necessarv In cases where the conditions require more than the pension And a movement has been started in the church aiming at the raising of a fund- The showlne of the American Bible Society for Its ninety ninth year within one year of its centennial, is remarkable for a war year or for any vear. for that matter The issues of the society went beyond anything In Its history and reached a total of 16.388,717.

Aa a progressiva minister, Mr. Moor believes that to soma extent tha new times demand nsw methods of procedure, In the ohurch aa weU as ln every othsr branch of Ufa. He la heartily In favor of new methods which era worth while. "But with these new methods" said Mr. Moore, "we must not forgst that are still dapendant on the Holy Spirit for results.

Being born an Alabamlan (ln Lownde count) and being raised there until he was 81 years of age and went oft to school, naturally his first pastorate was ln Mobile where he remained three years. Prom there he cams to Montgomery where he was pastor of Clayton street Methodist ohurch for three years. He spent two years at a charge ln Jackson, and then one year ln Pensacola. For the two years following this, he was presiding elder of the Greensborough District for two years.

Dexter ave. M. E. Church here was his next charge, and then Opellka Last year he was Presiding Elder of the Montgomery District. Now he haa been returned to Court Street Church.

Great Grandfather Preacher. It seems fitting that Rev. Mr. Moore should spend most of his time preaching Montgomery, for a historical fact is that his great grandfather on his maternal side. Rev.

TRIBES AT WAR IN LIBERIA. "The malls for our mission, sent from America in July, August and September, were captured a few days ago and burned by, the Catos, a native tribe at Sanquin, about forty miles from here," writes a missionary from Nanah Kroo, Liberia.

"Ohe of the boys told me that he had found our mall opened and some of It' torn to pieces. Government and private business letters, together' with newspapers, were all thrust Into the flames and burned by the Cabos. "Some little time ago these natives declared war on the government and on all German coast traders. They have now Included in their hostile attack the mission and all white missionaries. The capture of three German boats ln Sanquin was the opening move.

"This mission is cut off. No steamers, surf boat on the sea, all roads blocked by the natives, all our mails destroyed. We aek you to pray for the Nanan Kroo mission and these warring natives." BRAZIL'S GREAT NEED. "The crying need for the interior of Brazil Is for trained native workers," says J. L.

Downing, a well known missionary of the Southern Baptist convention, writing from Ba-hia, Brazil, he says: "The Brazilian public school system Is a very poor affair at best, and now ln this time of great financial crisis, the teachers are poorly paid, or not at all, as some have had no salary for more than a year. Of course, with such conditions to face, primary education by the churches is practically an absolutely necessary matter. The churches see It, and I believe they will ultimately take care of it. When I see the terrible state of ignorance in the churches of the interior, with their children growing up In abject Ignorance of their neighbors' children, I realize that the solution of the problem is going to be In an industrial school. I am sure at when 1 the time comes to build this school that the natives will furnish the farm as a gift to the school."

(By Southern Missionary News Bureau "We find great spiritual awakening among the people," writes a missionary ln East Africa. "This is clearly evidenced by the crowds tMat dome out to see the missionary and to hear him preach, as well as by the numbers that attend the schools at our outstatlon. One Instance Is especlalfy worthy of note. While touring my district recently I was asked to visit a station where the teacher a young man has about ninety pupils ln school. They are bright neat-looking boys and girls.

It surprised me greatly to see the clean village, and the attrac tive little chapel-school. The teacher brought forward seventy of his pupils for baptism and churoh membership Fifty-eight of these were qualified, according to our standards. "The evangelist seems to be equally successful as teacher and preacher. He had been pushing ahead two years without pay or missionary supervision. His work had not even been reported to me.

MISSIONARIES AND WARS. "How do you regard hardships, suffering and peril Incurred ln carrying on missionary work? To what extent are you taking them into account and preparing yourself to meet them?" These are among the searching questions put to persons who present themselves for missionary appointment by the officers of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. That they are pertinent questions is well shown by the fact that during the 106 years of the board's history there have been but brief periods when it was not called upon to face wars, massacres, famine or plague, or some great national disaster.

These wars lnolude the Sepoy rebellion In India ln 1857-1858, the Crimean war war between Egypt and Turkey the Japanese-Chinese and Japanese-Russian wars, the Armenian massacres from 1894 to 1909, the war with Spain, the war between Turkey and Greece In the Toxer uprising In China, the Japanese and Chinese the two Balkan wars, and now the great European-Asiatic war. In not one of these events have the missionaries sought personal safety by fleeing the country, as they were quite free to do. They have stood by their native people, bringing relief and comfort to the homeless, giv ing to sick and wounded, A Presbyterian woman, whose name Is withheld, has given the money to construct a narrow Kaune railway in- to Antloch in l'iyidia and to carry on excavations there tr Willium Kam-nay Is in change of the work of vation and expects to make discoveries that shall throw new light on New Testament history.
