The leaflet urges better understanding between the Pastor Describes Pike's Peak Thrill The Rev.

George A. Clarke, tor Emmanuel Baptist Church, who is in the West after attending the Northern Baptist Convention at Colorado Springs, and preaching the convention sermon, had the thrill of flying over Pike's Peak in a friend's airplane. The first time he went on a Saturday afternoon with Jim Sanders, but could not make the height because of the thinness of the air. But early Monday morning he and Ray McPar-land, another friend with his own plane, tried again. "In 19 minutes," writes Mr.

Clarke, "we were one mile above Colorado Springs. In 25 nunutes we were a thousand feet higher than Pike's Peak, 15,000 feet above sea level. We steered toward the peak but ran Presbyteric subjects most desired by prospec- ve students. Preparation for the World's Sunday School Convention at Oslo, Norway, July 6-12, are now complete and an itinerary of the official tours ranging from 35 to 50 days have been sent to Brooklyn clergy. Vacation Bible Schools The Summer program of the Federation will include 75 dally Vacation Bible Schools to open on Monday morning for five weeks.

These schools are largely located in churches and in their curriculum cover Bible stories, devotions, recreation, craft work of various kinds, and In many cases trips to places of interest. Services at Coney Island will be held, sponsored by the Federation and the Brooklyn Evangelistic Society. Dr. Mark Wayne Williams will preach. Miss Evelyn Young will be cornetist and the Rev.

Robert S. Chamberlain in charge nf Scripture distribution. The Federation library has among its new books "The Younger Churchman Looks at the Church. to which four Brooklyn paston have contributed. into a pocket and lost 1,000 feet In 30 seconds.

So we passed by the peak instead of over it. Then Mr. McFarland veered round and climbed to 16,000 feet and at that altitude everything was steady and we. looked down on Pike's Peak, which is 14,000 feet, viewing it from our ceiling of 2,000 feet above it. We cleared the peak beautifully.

I am told here that the stunt Is seldom done. I certainly had the thrill of JOINT SERVICES Pilgrim Congregational and Trinity Methodist Churches of Richmond Hill will unite for the Summer following the custom of several back.

Dr. Kieffer states that the per centage of the total population reporting a church condition has risen from 46.6 percent in 1926 to 49.07 percent in 1934. Last year there were 207 religious bodies in the United States with a total adult membership of 62.035.688. Of these 60,630,990 were in 50 of the larger religious groups while 1,404,698 mem- were in 10 lesser groups. The 50 large groups showed a to tal gain in 1934 of 1,248,165 members while the 157 lesser groups showed oi ja iui.

These figures are regarded by Dr. Kieffer a vrr. definite trend toward organized religion. many quarters religious leaders express a belief that there is a quickening of interest in spiritual lers ana mat tne time is ripe learly so for a widespread re-l.

The rapidly mounting pro-agamst war preparations of all kinds and against the present American policies which many church leaders claim are inevitably heading the nation into war, is pointed out as evidence of a turning from material gains to the higher ideal of a social gospel that tice.
