CHURCH NEEDS

T AS ONE FORCE P. Marion Sirnms Calls for Progress by Use of Experts and Buildings With Efficiency. '""A divided Protestant church cannot evangelize the world. The church is generally along behind the tail end of the procession of progress, staying Just within denouncing distance. The jack-of-all-trades in these days can find a Job nowhere except in the Protestant church. The church or America must become unified and efficient or it will never be able to perform the task which it has before it." It was in this fashion that P. Marion Simms spoke to the large Chautauqua audience last night on "What Must The Church Do To Be Saved?" Conscious that he was treading on thin ice and liable to step on sore corns, the popular Iowa lecturer never faltered but delivered his message on church unity and efficiency straight from the shoulder. His address was preceded by an hour's concert by Runge's Orchestra. "Our own , boys" grow more popular each day with Chautauqua attendants and their numbers were warmly applauded at last night's performance. Like Miss Large. . During the intermission the two parts of the orchestra program, Miss Large, the Chautauqua elocutionist, gave a fetching reading from "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." She was encored. ."What Must The Church Do To Be Saved?" It was to this question that Rev. Simms devoted his lecture. He said: "These are critical times. The church never before faced such problems in her history both at home and abroad. What shall we say of her forces as she confronts them? I am sorry that we can say nothing better thaji this that she is divided and weakened by denomlnationalism and that on every hand ts waste, friction and competition, envy, jealousy and ill-will. Protestantism Bpeaks without authority. Millions of the masses are alienated from the church. What must the church do if she is to fulfill her mission in this great crisis? ., "For one thing, the church must welcome modern progress. Hitherto she has resolutely opposed it. Every advance of science she has fought bitterly. The church opposed surgery for fear it would embarrass the resurrection; it opposed stained glass windows, fire in church buildings, musical instruments and many other things. A divided Protestant church cannot evangelize the world. ' Needs To Advance. "This is an age of progress. In farm ing, house-keeping, printing, travel, communication, business, education, In all sciences, we have witnessed wonderful transformations. Shall the church with her theology and methods be an exception to this, the only exception? The church ought to be the most progressive institution on earth. The methods of yesterday will not meet modern conditions; neither will the theology of past ages meet the needs of the modern man. ,"We need a revised theology for every age. Theology is only man's effort to make reasonable, believable and understandable the great facts and doctrines of Christianity. As new facts are discovered, we must change our theory, system or theology to make place for them. "The church must busy itself with this world rather than with the world to come. People demand a religion that proves its worth here and now. "Christ came to redeem the whole world with its arts, treasures and business. His mission was not simply to save men's souls. He came to save their bodies and their environment also. "Therefore, the church must minister to the whole man, physical, social and spiritual. Jesus did so and expected the same of his church. He himself was so sociable a being gossip called him a 'glutton' and a 'wine-bibber Use Church Expects. "The church must put every department of its activity under the direction of an expert. This is an age of experts; business efficiency everywhere demands it. As things are in the church, however, the pastor must be preacher, pastor, business manager, musical director and th general whoop-em-up all along the line. In any other Institution in this world his work would be divided among half a dozen people. "The church should be opened daily, ministering to the whole man and to the community. We need institutional churches. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. should never have been separate institutions. The church ought to care for the poor. It never made a greater mistake than when it turned charity administration over to the state. State charity pauperizes people, Christian charity cures their pauperism." BUSINESS LEADERS TAKE VACATIONS George Knollenberg Is In New York where he will remain two weeks. Henry Gennett, who hag been in Los Angeles for two months, has sent word that he will return to this city soon. Ellwood McQuire is another business man who Is in the west He is spending an indefinite period in Colorado. LIST OF NUMBERS AT CHAUTAUQUA 7:00 p. m. Runge's Orchestra. 8:00 p. m. Geo. R. Stuart.

ORIGINALITY MARKS

CAMP JIAMES USED Variety on Chautauqua Tents Includes .. "Stumble Inn" and Others. "What's In a name?" asked Shakes peare. . . ..v "Where can we get a name?" is the way the Chautauqua camper puts it. One of the first problems that comes up before a family moving into a tent is, what shall we call our camp? Those who move op and. down the canvas ways at the Richmond Chau tauqua will be struck with the variety of names tacked. on the front of the tents. "Lagunda" whatever that may mean, "Kamp Kosey," "Re-Tire Inn." "Wyldewell," these are picked up at random along the avenue. Around the corner is "Stumble Inn" and up another street ."Camel's Inn." This last placard was written In hiero glyphics instead of letters, showing a camel walking along. Cheering un the neighborhood, an other camp nailed up the caption "Laf-a-lot," an advice that takes immediate effect upon the passerby. "Were Inn" graced another canvas doorway. From a glimpse Into Its Interior one came to the conclusion that It was a couple of comely maidens who were therein. Determined not to be overlooked, an other camp has been christened "A-Tent-Shun-Inn." And then, of course, there was the inevitable "Dew Drop Inn." No Chautauqua would be complete without that.

Muslo and oratory composed the program given by the colored people of the Citlsen's Union before .an unexpectedly large audience at the Chautauqua yesterday afternoon. In his opening address. Dr. W. W. Anderson explained that the colored folks of Wayne county had never before been given the privilege of participating In a Chautauqua and that therefore the Citizen's Union had asked of the management a hearing. He said that they greatly appreciated the honor of having an afternoon for themselves. . The feature of the program that seemed to please the crowd most was the singing by - the quintet . "We negroes have a right to be proud," said Attorney Cornelius R. Richardson, who was master of ceremonies, "In that we have created the only truly American music. The negro melodies have not been imported from other countries but have grown up here in our midst. I am delighted that you nave tne opportunity today of listening to genuine American music.'' . .

He celebrated the achievement of negroes since their coming into the United States in war, in business and in the professions. To those who have naved the way for future achievements of the negro race here, to the negroes who took a prominent part in the Civil war, and to the literary and educational leaders, such as Booker T. Washington and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, he paid a glowing tribute. "What shall we say of this recoi-d," he exclaimed in concluding. "Shall we not believe

BY LEA8ED WIRE. NEW YORK. Aug. 19. Herman Ridder, editor of the Staats-Zeitung, discussing the European war from the German viewpoint, says in part, in his article today: "We Americans are learning the game of world politics with astonish ing rapidity. In our 'splendid isolation,' we had no need of a complicated school of diplomacy to check and to check. However, our expansions toward the far east brought us into ri valry with Japan. According to the code of world politics, as played at present, Japan Is undoubtedly a possible enemy of ours. How real the danger is, the European war illustrates very clearly. 'With the entrance of Japan into the war, the interests of the United States are placed In jeopardy. A month ago It would have been considered screaming jingoism to prophesy war with Japan. Yet I fear that the seizure of Kiao-Chu is the first step in a BritishJapanese plot to obtain the control of the Far East. England Gives Consent.

"One of the most prominent characters of that early period was Levi Coffin, who came in 182$ and who established and helped to operate the famous "Underground Railway." After that was started, many Quaker and Wesleyan homes became the refuge of runaway slaves. "It was not until 1844 that the first permanent settlement of colored people was made here. Mrs. Tate, who is still living, was the first colored girl to settle in Wayne county. She began work at fifty centy a week, that seems very small to us, but on the advice of some Quaker friends, she

"When we consider that it was not until a little over fifty years ago that any negro in Wayne county ever received more than a dollar a day and when we take into consideration what negroes here now do, we have a right to take a great deal of pride in our progress. Wayne county negroes pay taxes on an average assessment of $267.00. We have here two lawyers, two doctors, several school teachers and two letter carriers. It was here that Dr. J. M.

"It Is evident that Japan is taking advantage of the situation In which Germany finds herself to aim a blow indirectly against us. We have every reason to fear the ambitions of the yellow race. The fight is spreading. God grant that by no dextrous trick of legerdemain can they plunge us into this destructive war. "This suggestion has been made, and it strikes me as a particularly good one, for the United States to act as trustee for Kiao-Chau, pending the outcome of the war in Europe. Germany has spent millions of dollars developing the harbor, the town of Esing-Tau and even the Hinterland. It seems like an utter waste of life and mater ial to have the Japanese navy annihilate the small squadron of German and Austrian ships, slaughter the garrison and shell the town. If the Japanese flag waves over Kiao-Chau, we will never live to see the day when it will be withdrawn." VALUABLE VESSELS CAPTUREHY ALLIES Prizes of Sea Valued at $300,000,000, According: to British Estimate. BY BURTON L. C. FRAZIER, (Staff Correspondent of the Interna tional News Service.) LONDON, Aug. 19. More than five hundred German merchant ships having a valuation of at least $300,000,000 (cargoes included) already have been captured by English. Russian and French warships according to figures compiled today. These snips are valuable to the allies. Millions of pounds of food found in the holds of the various vessels will be used to feed the various armies. There are at least five hundred German ships either on the high seas or In Finland neutsality ports. These have value exclusive of cargoes, of about 1700,000,000 and the allies are confi dent of capturing many of these if the war continues six months or a year longer. Germany soon will need food from outside sources, and it is figured that when such time comes some of the German liners will attempt to run the blockade of the allied fleets.

Abington pike school children will be given the advantages of city schools hereafter through the action Tf Township Trustee Howarth in removing the hack line from the pike and paying the tuition of the pupils to Joseph Moore school in West Richmond. As hack lines are expensive and some sections of the township thinly populated with school children, the trustee will make it his policy to transfer the pupils from such sections to the city schools. This was also done in the case of Earlham Heights school children. Their tuition is paid to Garfield school and each child is allowed two street car tickets a day for transportation. ' .

CARE OF CHILDREN VERY INTERESTING topic m TODAY Dr. Geisel in Address st the Chautauqua Abo Attacks Tobacco Relates Experiments With Dogs. "The Conservation of the Child." was the subject dealt with by Dr. Carolyn Geisel in her health class at the Chautauqua this morning. "There is nothing more important to the United' States than this child question. We must raise Americans for America." "Human life depends upon nature and nutrition. In determining a boy's destiny, environment is almost equal to heredity but heredity can't always be overcome. Therefore, we ought to begin the conservation of a child before it is born." she said. The Influence of a good heredity. Dr. Geisel illustrated by the Edwards family. Of 1,100 descendants of Jonathan Edwards, not one has been a criminal. Imbecile or pauper. But of 1.200 members of the notorious Jakes family, there have been 392 immoral women, 426 paupers. 116 murderers; not a decent person in the entire family. Death of Children. "We need to educate mothers -if we are to conserve the child. We could carpet Indiana with graves of

Daoies wno aied in this country last year. One-half of them died before thev wwn two yars of age. Why do so many babies die? Because mothers are ignorant. We spent $90,000,000 in taxes each year to educate farmers to raise pigs. Why don't we spend as much money to educate mothers to raise babies? We have put science behind the farmer. Why don't we put science behind the mother? We are burying babies every day because mothers don't know how to care for them. You give women education for raising men and they will furnish you good men. just as the educated farmer furnishes you good hogs. "Of all bottle fed babies, fifty-seven per cent die in United States. Of breast fed babies, only seven per cent die. Bottle-fed babies become extinct or sterile In the fourth generation." Opposes Tobacco. At this point. Dr. Geisel opened up a bombardment on the use of tobacco, especially the use of cigarettes. She described how, under the direction of Prof. Pa low of St. Petersburg, she helped conduct an experiment on four dogs, both pairs of which received the Fame food except that one pair was given a small amount of tobacco each day. "The dogs that received the nicotine were much more stupid. One of them died of a common disease at the end of the year and both of them 7wo rew to Ze JS two grew to be fine, large dogs and are now used in a dog team with a sled."
