Bedford Street, Gaysport just over 21 years of age, was not included with his brothers, who were under age and were admitted to citizenship with their father. This omission was not discovered until recently. Rev. Gratz was informed by the court that he would not be required to take out first papers, according to custom, but that he can secure his final papers at the next term of naturalization court.

Gotlieb Fred Seigel, a prominent German resident of Altoona, who has been a resident of the United States for over thirty-one years, never went through the formality of securing his naturalization papers until now, having voted and otherwise lived as a citizen. Joseph Pitcher, an Austrian, with his nine children, became subjects of Uncle Sam. In making his declarations some time ago, Pitcher made a mistake in the number of children, giving it as seven, and rectified his mistake before the court. "That's all right," said Judge Baldrige. "I guess seven children is enough to qualify you to become a citizen of the country."

The United Brethren conference, in session here, launched upon its third day of church business Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock, with Rev. S. H. Ralston, of 3 service, after which business was resumed. The first action was the rescinding and expunging from the records of a motion made the day before.

Then a motion was made and adopted concerning needed improvements in Sunday school work. A twenty-minute address on "The Problem and Opportunity of the Country Church" was given by Rev. B. C. Shaw.

One of the problems that frequently confronts the pastor in the vicinity of large cities is the change wrought by the inpouring of foreign elements. Dr. J. E. Rusk then discussed the subject of "Capturing the Community for Christ." Rev.

Hough, general secretary of foreign missions, whose official headquarters are at Dayton, addressed the conference on the work of his department. He said the European war has already had a retrogressive influence upon foreign missionary labors because the war has interrupted the financial support previously, given by nations across the waters. It therefore devolves upon America, more so than ever before in her history, according to Secretary Hough, to put forth every effort to safeguard and conserve the great missionary interests abroad until the war Is over and the mangled countries can recover sufficiently from the shock to resume support of worldwide evangelization. Dr. Hough stated it may prove a stupendous task to shoulder the whole load of missionary maintenance during the war Interim, but he was optimistic that American churches would rise to the opportunity-in every respect.

He cave a resume of twice as much what has been exported from Chicago to Canada by way of thaJSreat since July 1 showed their appreciation of Dr. Shupe's address by applauding and subsequently by the raising of their hands at the instance of the bishop to endorse the speaker. Rev. G. E.

Dr. S. S. Hough spoke on the subject of "Departmental Problems and Needs." The problems are many and the needs are great It is just as necessary for the membership to work for the kingdom as it is for the bishop or pastor. We are all workers together with no one above another.

It is absolutely necessary also to consider the physical side and to build good church edifices that are kept sweet by letting in the air from the hilltops. You go to church to meet God, not to hear the preacher preach. The real work of the membership is intercession, followed up by vigorous' action. Dr. Hough is an adept at holding the attention of his audience.
