The churches of Cleveland, O., received more than 11,000 members as a result of their evangelistic campaign hist year. “Another fact of interest is that thirteen large cities In the country, besides Indianapolis, have church federations with full time executive secretaries. They are dong work similar to that of the church federation of Indianapolis. These cities are New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Toledo, Erie, Pa., Atlanta, Cincinnati, Louisville, Dayton, Chicago, Kansas City and Los Angeles. Within the next few months six more cities, Denver, San Francisco. Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and 8t. Paul will be added to this fist.”

A Never-To-Be-Forgotten Week

This has been a memorable week in the city of Indianapolis. The business of the Indiana Legislature has not been the only topic of conversation. The subject of RELIGION has had a large place in the minds of Indianapolis people. In more than one hundred churches a gospel of LOVE and TRUTH and LIFE has been proclaimed every night to thousands of eager listeners. The outstanding point of interest, however, has been the noon gospel* meetings at Keith’s Theater. Beginning Monday with 800 people, the audiences have steadily grown to 1,800 people yesterday. Why this great crowd of people at the busy noon hour? Because a matchless preacher is preaching every day a matchless gospel in a fashion which is gripping the hearts of men. Indianapolis believes in RELIGION, and for this reason the churches and the theater are filled with men and women. Indianapolis has heard many great orators in her time. But few men who have spoken in Indianapolis have equaled the power and genuine oratory of Dr. Mert S. Rice. Here are Dr. Rice’s subjects for next week: January 22—“NEAR.” January 23—“EMPTY.” January 24—“ALONE.” January 25—“NEGLECT.” January 26—“FORGIVEN.” All these meetings throughout the city furnish a chance to every man and woman who believes in doing, and standing by, worth-while things. Here is a chance for the man and the woman who have said that the church is ineffective. The church needs virile, red-blooded men to help apply Christianity to the everyday problems of life. Here is a chance for the man and the woman who believes that the poor and unfortunate are entitled to the help of the strong. Here is a chance for the Church to go out into the city and invite into its fellowship the men and women who hunger for friendship and another chance in life. * # Try the Church during the next week, by attending services at night in some place of worship, and at Keith’s at the noon hour each day. Tomorrow would be a good day to begin a new career. Go to church tomorrow. The Church Federation of Indianapolis C. S. Denny, President Office: Y. M. C. A. Bldg. .* M. C.

Though brought up a Christian. John of the Golden Mouth was not baptised until twenty-three years old. For four years he lived in a religious community and for two years in a cave as an anchorite. Returning, to Antioch he became a deacon and ten years later a priest For twelve years he preached and wrote, chiefly on the scriptures. In 397 he whs named bishop of Constantinople. His plain speech about court abuses aroused the enmity of the Empress Eudoxla. Twice he was exiled from Constantinople. The second time he was forced to make long marches exposed to heat rain and cold, which caused his

Conon Is a Scotch saint of the seventh century. For some years he was bishop of the Isle of Man or of the Southern isles. "Claw for claw, as Conon said ty Satan, and the devil take the shortest nails," is a proverb in the Scottish Highlands, apparently referring to some legend of an encounter between the holy man and the enemy of the race.

! St Agnes is usually described as 4 young Roman girl who suffered persecution and martyrdom under Dloclesian. Upon the place of her death a church was built outside the walls of Rome and another wa» dedicated to her within the city. The connection of her name with the Latin for a lamb (agnus) has probably led to the association of this name with her memory.

Vincent was & Spanish saint. The recital of his pious serenity and cheerfulness under torture is striking. Butler, la his “Lives of the Saints," says that after being broiled over a fire he was put in a dungeon, bound in stocks and left without food; but that God sent His angels to comfort him, and with these angels the saint sung the praises of his pro-

In every Catholic church are to be found the fourteen stations of "The Way of the Cross” along the walls of the church. The pictures which represent scenes from the sorrowful way of Christ, beginning at the palace of the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, and ending with tne burial of our Lord, invite the peopU to think of the sufferings of Christ. The church has encouraged this devotion by attaching to it the most numerous Indulgences ever granted for the performance of any religious exercise. All that is necessary to gain these indulgences is to be free from mortal sin, to have sorrow for one’s venial sins, and to go from station to station, mediating for a few moments at each of them on the sufferings of Christ. Common praeiloe has it, that one Our Father and Hall Mary and Glory to the Father is said at each station.—St. Anthony’s Almanac.

No historial notice of an eclipse of the sun occurs in the Bible but there are passages In the prophets which contain manl. fest allusion to this phenomenon. These arc in Amos vut, 8; Mlcah ill, 6; Za> hariah xlv, 0; Joel il, 10. 31 and iii. 15. The date of Amos coincides with a total eclipse which occurred February 8. B. C. 784 and was visible at Jerusalem ahoi-tly after noon; that of Micah with the eclipse of June 5, B. C. 716. A passing notice in Jeremiah xv, 9, coincides In date with the eclipse of September 30, B. C. 6b), so well known fioni the account Herodotus gave of It. The darkness that overspread the world at the crucifixion can not with reason be attributed to an <t -lipse os the moon was at the full at the time of the Passover.

The more St. Anthony of Padua endeavored to remain hidden and unknown, the more did God exalt His servant before his death. A noble lady richly dressed was going to hear one of the Lenten stirmons preached by the saint, accompanied by her servants. Absorbed in her own thoughts, she pkld little attention to^he road, and fell into a pool filled with dirty w’ater. She naturally expected to he covered with mud, which, to her great vexation, would have prevented her from hearing the sermon. Strange to say. on her being assisted out of the pool, not a speck of mud was to be seen on her clothes.—Indiana Catholic.

What, then, is the function of the church? It Is to proclaim unceasingly the foundation truths upon which mankind is slowly building a better world. All men are children of the heavenly Father, and all men are. therefore, brothers. The church exists to keep alive those ideas, to sensitize the conscience, and to create an atmosphere in which it will be easier to get Justice done. The church is working for wage earners ail the tjme It Is proclaiming principles and holding up ideals which render injustice more difficult and social righteousness more inevitable—Christian Work.

"Amateurism” is, the Scottish Chronicle thinks, the characteristic mark of the majority of the sermons in the pulpit. The parson sometimes looks with scorn upon school teacher; but there is all the

I met with a beautiful little Incident In my ministry- As a white-haired old lady passed out of the room where she bad been visiting, a young girl said: “If I could be such an old lady as that so beautiful, so serene, sweet and lovable, I wouldn’t mind growing old.” And the one to whom she spoke answered; "Will, if you want to he that kind of an old lady, you better begin making her right now. She doesn’t strike me as a piece of work that was done in a hurry; tt has taken a long time to make her what she is. If you are going to paint that sort of a portrait of yourself to leave to the world you better begin mixing your colors now.”—The Rev. Dr. Dowling in the Churchman.
