IN POPULARITY.
IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD
Booklovers See Advantage of Seep
ing Answers to lurries in Com
pact and Neat Porm.
The binders 'for use In The "Waahlnr
ion iieraia j-sooKlovers' Contest are
growing In favor as the climax ot the
competition draws nearer. The conven
ience of the binder, mucins It easy for
the contestant to assemble his answers
to the slxty-flve problems. Is the basis
of the popularity of the innovation. The
binder Is also economical, and that ad
vantage has not escaped the attention
of pie contestants; but facility in hand
ling; answers to the pictures Is the chief
appeal.
Nearly every contestant, it is believed,
will submit more thqn one answer to
each picture, and for that reason It is
expected that most of the participants
in the competition will use binders.
It may be borne In mind, however, that
it Is not necessary to use binders to be
eligible In the contest. They are merely
for convenience.
The advantage of submitting more than
one answer to each problem is apparent,
for more than one answer to a picture
may seem to the contestant to be ap
propriate and logical. Where the con
testant is in doubt which answer to sub
mit, he would do well to submit both.
Five answers for each picture are al
lowed, and it is anticipated some con
testants will make use of all Ave an
swers for each of the slxty-flve prob
lems. The first prize offered contestants Is a
line building lot In Handle Highlands,
valued at ROOO.
The second prize Is a Kingsbury lnner-
piayer piano valued at Jiso. The Instru
ment, one of standard make. Is on exhi
bition at the store of the Percy S. Fos
ter Piano Company, 1330 G Street North'
west
The third prize Is a 500 library of
books from Brentano's. Twelfth and F
Streets Northwest. The winner of this
prize will be entitled to the privilege of
making changes In the selection of books
recommended by the Brentano manager.
For consolation prizes cash awards ag
gregating JSO are offered In the form of
credits at the Citizens' Savings Bank.

ZOO WOLVES GET
LESSONS IN MUSIC
87 Means of Phonograph the Ani
mals' Howls Are Made
Harmonious.
New York, June 10. The long-drawn
howl of a timber wolf shattered the soli
tude which comes at nightfall In the
Zoological Park In the Bronx. There
came a chorus of howls and then silence.
After an Interval came another bowl.
this so low that heard 'at a distance It
s 'undt-d like the echo of a moan, and
this Ian sound was more melodious than
the first a sort of Ideal wolf call to the
mght Eilghtly soprano and rising must-
all, note upon note.
This last call was not the cry of a wolf.
It came from a phonograph hidden near
the wolf cages, and was a demonstration
yf an experiment that is being conducted
b. a student of animals to prove that
the calls of wild animals can be made
more musical, in other Mortis, that voice
culture is possible among animals.
Ra1 mond L. Ditmars. the curator of the
zoo is enthusiastic over this experiment,
as he is oer the oddities in the zoo
which from time to time, find their way
Int.' print Mr. Ditmars Is of the opinion
that already the wolves can howl more
in harmony and In key than they could
b. for the phonograph, and the scientist
began to teach them the way to reach
l.igh C gracefully. To the untrained ear,
however, the howls remain as unmusical
as the were in the nights before the
experiment began.
Mr D.tmars did not give the name of
the s tentlst who Is demonstrating hil
theory, and he offered no Information
regarding the identity of the person or
animal who gave forth the melodious
wolf, all of which Is now recorded on
the phonograph and let off at Intervals
to frighten staid, homegoing Bronxltes.
He admitted It was not a record of
Caruso s voice The new wolf call Is
bad enough, but It is certainly an im
provement upon the call given out by
the untrained wolf voice.
Eleven CongregaUonallsU, ten Dis
ciples,' four Methodists; one Universal
1st. and one Gregorian make up the
class of 1913 that was graduated from
Yale Divinity School recently. Dean
Brown's first year has proven a very
successful one and the outlook for Yale
Divinity Is said to be most encouraging.
Kev. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of
Broadway ' Congregational Tabernacle,
New York, has been given an eight
months' vacation. With Mrs. Jefferson'
he plans to tour the British Isles and
visit Egypt and the Orient.
Rev. It. 8. MacArthur, president of the
Baptist World Alliance, and acting pas
tor of the Baptist Tabernacle. Atlanta,
Go., will preach the dedication sermon
at Ivemont, New York City, June 26, of
the new Baptist church bunt by bis son.
Rev. Kenneth MacArthur, pastor.
Owing, it Is said, to some apprehen
sion lest the Federal Council should take
too active a part Iti politics, the South
ern Presbyterians, numbering nearly.
300,000 communicants, withdrew last year
from affiliation with the Federal coun
cil. At their recent assembly these
Southern Presbyterians reversed the ac
tion of a year ago and became again
connected with this clearing house of all
the ' churches, with which thirty-three
evangelical denominations are now af
filiated.
The machine, the police, and the vice
question. It Is said, have been for years
Intimately related In Philadelphia's mu
nicipal government, and a careful policy
Is needed to dissociate them. Mayor
Blankenburg has now appointed, after
patient consultation, a vice commission
of representative clergymen, lawyers,
and business men. not one of whom' Is
Identified with professional reform as re
gards this particular evIL It will be a
quiet, nonspectacular, businesslike diag
nosis of th whole situation, with spe
cific measures to be proposed to city
councils. Dramatic raids on suspected
houses and the appeal for segregation
advanced by certain reformers, are be
ing tabooed as reform measures.
The Presbyterian Church has Just cele
brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of
Its Sabbath school missionary work. The
recent general assembly at Louisville
requested all Its schools to make this
a specialty as far as possible. Rev.
Alexander Henry, of Philadelphia, secre
tary of Its Sabbath -School Board, points
out that millions are expended annually
for the secular education of children,
while this board Is the only agency of
the Presbyterian Church providing for
their religious education. Presbyterians
In twenty-live years have advanced
from 5,711 schools In 18ST, to nearly 10,000
in 191!. and the membership from 775.-
43 to 1,300,000. They have organized
31.000 schools In these twenty-five years
and gathered 1.300,000 Into them.
Churches have developed to the number
of 1.500 and special Sabbath school mis
sionaries have gone from fourteen to 121
now in service. Twenty-two colporteurs
are constantly visiting foreign settle
ments and the Young People's Society
an allied organization, co-operates In
the whole business.

Sunday Music at Chevy Chase Lake,
Large crowds ride out to Chevy Chase
Lake Sunday, as well as other evenings,
to hear the Marine Band musicians per
form. Programmes of extra length are
rendered, and the hundreds of rustic
seats about the music shell are well
rilled. In event of rain the musicians
perform in the pavilion, which Is spa.
nous enough to afford shelter for quite
a number. Dancing Is on the card
every week-day evening, and can be
named as the most popular attraction,
without fear of contradiction. Bizarre
terpslchorean displays are barred by the
management, and the straight waltz,
Boston and two-step can be tripped
without fear of Interruption from a
Turkey-trotting" couple, who want the
whole floor
New ampng the amusement devices of
fered this year at "the lake" Is a large
merry-go-round, which has many fea
tuies and similar devices that other re

Disciples Honor Dr. Wilfley.
Bethapy College, the oldest educational
Institution among the Disciples, has
been tbo recipient recently of some note
worthy gifts which have come from a
graduate. A new hall of science with
full equipment has been added to the
college buildings. Of the same nature
Is the gift to the school of agriculture
, modern barn which in completeness
of detail is said to be excelled by few If
any of the similar buildings belonging
to the great State universities. This
barn stands on the large acreage which
belonged to the home place of Alexander
Campbell, and these acres are also pre
sented to the college, for experimental
farming purposes. The buildings which
were the home of Thomas and Alexan
der Campbell have been separated from
the estate and turned over to a "me
morial commission, " composed of repre
sentative men among the Disciples, who
will keep the place in repair and open
to visitors. Rev, Earle Wilfley. of the
Vermont Atenue Christian Church, Is a
member of this commission. The col
lege, at Its recent commencement, con
ferred upon Rev Wilfley the honorary
degree of doctor of laws, and he was
also elected a trustee of the Institution.
If the size ot attendance at prayer
meetings Is, as it Is often said, an In
dex of the interest of a church, the out
look at Fifth Church Is very bright In
deed. The prayer meetings there, says
Pastor Briggs, have never been better
attended or more Interesting. The pas
tor has been giving a series of exposi
tions on the book of "Ruth." Next
Thursday evening the prayer meeting
will be led by Rev. G. W McCuIlough.
of Mqunt Tabor Church. Tennallytown.
Pastor P. B. Watllngton of Maryland
Avenue Church, is also proud of the at
tendance at his prayer meetings. "We
have almost as large an attendance at
our pS-ayer meetings," Pastor Watllng
ton says, "as we do at our church serv
ices." A similar sense of encouragement
Is felt at the Centennial Church, where
Pastor -E. Hez Swem conducts every
Thursday evening his "Pleasant Hour"
a term which Pastor Swem believes to be
superior to the more solemn "prayer
meeting."
With the Idea of keeping open house
and all the departments of the church
In full blast during the summer, electric
fans have been Installed In both the
Sunday school room and auditorium of
the Fifth Church.
Rev. G. R. M. WeHs, Ih. D.. of Bal
tlmore. Md.. who will occupy the pulpit
of the First Baptist Church, Sixteenth
and O Streets, on Sunday, is a graduate
of McMaster University. Toronto, and
studied theology at Newton Theological
Institute, Newton, Msss. He Is Instruc
tor In psychology at Oberlln College, and
has a graduate degree from Harvard
and John Hopkins.
A Jewish Contributor of Catholic
Scholarships.
An interesting gift, or rather the flrst
of Die interesting gifts which will total
323.000. has just been made to the Roman
Catholic University at Washington, by
Dr. Max Pam, a Jewish lawyer, of Chi
cago, with a reputation for philanthro
pic Interests. He has just forwarded to
Cardinal Gibbons the sum of 35,000 to es
tablish the flrst of five scholarships, the
others to be git en annually during the
next four years. The awards are to be
made to students making a special In
vestigation or present social and eco
nomic problems. In his communication
which accompanied the gift. Dr. Pam de
clared his conviction that our modern
arlsls centers around "man's relation to1
man, man's relation to the government,
and man's relation to property." He
oices his hopes that these scholarships
may help to raise up a leadership really
qualified to discover ways out. "We
hear advanced, from time to time,"
says Dr. Pam, "new and strange the
ories of government. There are some
who claim, even at the present hour,
that the Constitution has outlived Its
usefulness. The people at bottom are
right, but they need wise and honest
leadership. To avert this latter danger
we must have men who are qualified by
training and Integrity."
To a representative of the Congrega
tlonallst Dr. Pam declared that his main
Interest was simply the welfare of the
human family. Replying to a query
with regard to socialism and the evi
dent bias against It with which a Cath
olic Investigator would probably start,
be said his own desire In the studies
would be for findings made without bias
or prejudice. The term socialism, he
leeia. covers as yet so vague an eco
nomic sphere that the situation qan
well be considered without its complications.
National Assembly of
Workers with Boys Projected.
Y. M. C. A. workers among boys have
taken Initial steps toward holding next
year the flrst assembly on work for
boys. It will be confined to Associa
tion workers, but will Include all work
ers In North America. The place has
not yet been decided upon, but It will
be some city In the Central West. The
date will be one year hence. This time
is selected in part because the triennial
gathering of the World's Student Chris
tian Federation occurs then, and will
bring here from Europe many noted
workers among students and boys.
The very rapid growth of Association
work among boys demands. It Is said,
the confing together of experienced lead
ers from many sections, and experts
who have studied boy life. It Is held
that the Men and Religion campaign will
soon have spent Its Initial force, and
that workers among boys must now
take steps to conserve that Interest A
unique plan for expense of delegates has
been put forth. It is that all delegates
pay JI5 whether they come long or short
distances. The amount is pooled, and
all fare the same. To reduce this sum
If possible, appeals are to be made to
givers, and whatever Is secured is di
vided pro rata.
The Association has 98,000 boys In Its
membership, of whom 74,000 are using
the gymnasiums. About 30,000 boys reg
ularly attend Association Bible classes,
and 10,000 the educational classes. The
latter Is for the most part Industrial
and has for Its aim the training of
young men and boys unable for finan
cial reasons to remain In regular
schools.

a conquered province ot the Roman Em
pire, Alban, a Roman soldier, converted
to Christianity while being among the
British, was put to death by his L, try
superiors. He suffered at a place called
Verulam, some twenty miles from Lon
don, and which has since become known
as SL Albans, by reason ot the martyr's
death.
At St Albans a stately cathedral now
stands", one of the most stately and
Imposing in all England A few years
ago. when we were engaged In laying
The corner stone-of the new cathedral on
Mount St Albans. It was entirely fitting
that one of the visiting 'bishops should
be the Bishop of St Albans. It re
minded alt men who knew anything ot
history that this church, which they
know in these United States as the
Protestant Episcopal, was the same
church' which long centuries ago gave
its flrst British martyr to die for the
faith once for all delivered to the saints.
A special meeting of the board of gov
ernors ot the Episcopal Eye, Ear, and
Throat Hospital was carted by direction
of the president last Monday evening at
S o'clock at the hospital building for the
purpose of authorizing the Incumbrance
ot the real estate ot the corporation.
The incumbrance Is necessary In con
nection with the purchase of the prop
erty at-Fifteenth and M Streets. Few
Institutions of the Episcopal Church have
a greater claim on the generous support
of Its members than this hospital, which'
opens Its doors and offers Its benefits
to all alike. Irrespective of race or creed.
Rev. Canon Nelms, rector of Ascension
Church, Twelfth Street and Massachu
setts Avenue, was honored on Wednesday
last with the degree of D. D., by St
John's College, Annapolis, Md. Canon
Nelms was present at the conferring of
the degree, which was conferred by the
president. Dr. Thomas Fell, on the In
struction of the board of trustees In rec
ognition of Canon Nelms' most success
ful work and general ability. He will
hereafter be Dr. Nelms.
Dr. 'C. Ernest Smith, rector of St
Thomas' Church. Eighteenth Street near
Dupont Circle, left Philadelphia Sunday
last on the steamship Carthagenlan for
Newfoundland. Dr. Ernest Smith began
his ministry as n deacon under the Rev.
Canon J. M. Noel, rector at Harbor
Grace, the second town of Importance
In the Island. Canon Noel Is still living
and still rector of the same parish, St
Paul's, Harbor Grace. Dr. Ernest Smith
expects to renew old memories. Before
going to Harbor Grace, which Is about
fifty miles from St Johns, he will be
the guest of the Lord Bishop at Bishop's
Court, by whom he has been asked to
preach the sermon to tbe synod of the
diocese In the stately Gothic Cathedral,
one of Sir Gilbert Scott's creations.
which has no superior on this side ot
the Atlantic.
The Church of the Ascension, Massa
chusetts Avenue and Twelfth Street, has
engaged as director of Its choir Mrs.
Charles G. McRoberts, nee Miss Virginia
Goodwin. She will begin the work In
September. About eight years ago Mrs.
McRoberts conducted a most successful
volunteer choir of sixty voices at the
Ascension, and the parishioners regard
her return to them Just as Mr. Kaspar
resigned the work as almost providen
tial.
On Friday eening, June 14, the Bish
op of the diocese visited Grace Church,
South Washington, for the purpose of
administering the apostolic rite ot con
firmation. The work there Is under the
direction of the rector of the Ascension,
but Mr Fred Gunnell, a lay reader
from the palish of the Ascension, is in
charge and there was every evidence
of the fine work which he has done.
There were nine candidates confirmed
and the congregation was perhaps twice
over again as large as at any time In
many years before. The volunteer choir
rendered excellent work and the Bishop
gave a most practical and helpful ad
dress. Under Mr. Gunnell's leadership
the parish has begun to pay off Its
mortgage Indebtedness and a bright fu
ture Is Its outlook.
Last Sunday the Rev Canon George
F. Dudley, rector of St Stephen's
Church, Columbia Heights, preached the
baccalaureate sermon of the Washing

stately building, thoroughly churchey In
aeign and furnishing, was much ad
mired by the graduates and their
friends, many of whom had not before
worshiped within Its walls.

L La Roche, rector of Beltsville. who
was host on the occasion. Rev. Canon
G. H. McGrew was speaker, his subject
being "Things Wrong End In India."

college president In India and' therefore
well -qualified to treat with a question
concerning Indian lite.

Many ot the clergy are now planning
their vacations, to which the strenuous
character of the winter and aprlng work
In Washington church circles fully en
tities mem. Aione among Washington
churches the two principal churches In
Georgetown have the excellent plan of
worklhg In concert, the same locum te-
nens conducting service alternately In
each church during the absence of its
rector. Considering the depleted charac
ter of the congregations durlmr July and
August, this arrangement might be ex
tended with very satisfactory results.
It Is interesting to note that while
this Is the slack tlmo of the year for
city churches. It is the busiest time Im
aginable for the country churches. .The
country is generally very run of visitors,
and the roads are all good, and conse
quently the traveling Is goqd also-all of
which Is conduclble to full congregations.
The next Red Letter Saints Day ot the
church occurs on Monday, when the Na
tivity of John the Baptist Is celebrated.
Tbe circumstances of the birth of the
Baptist being so unrque necessarily gave
the Idea of celebrating that event in the
round of the church calendar. The
spiritual teaching was too Important to
bo other than emphasized.
Mr. Bernard Carter's death In Balti
more has deprived the church of. the
services and influence of one of her most
gifted and honored sons. He was the
father of Bev. George Calvert Carter,
until recently rector ot St. Andrew's
Church, this city. Few churchmen were
better know, a than he, and few church
men, too, ave a better Idea ot those
great essential principles of tbe church
than he. He was a member of old St.
Paul's Church, Baltimore, and a member
of the vestry of, the same.
Twenty-eight persons were confirmed
at St, Stephen's Episcopal Church. In
Fourteenth Street, between Columbia
Road and Irving Street. Friday night by

Cuban Troubles Affect
Christian Work Enterprises.
The newly developed race war In Cuba
and the military operations started be
cause of It are affecting adversely the
Christian work of the island, especially
that part projected and maintained by
Americans. The chief Protestant bodies
of this country having missions In Cuba
are the Baptist North and South, the
Episcopal, and the Methodist South. The
earliest there, even before the political
freedom of the Island, were the Baptist
South and th Episcopal. The growth
of Protestant work In the Island, among
both white and black, has been steady
and along educational lines large.
Baptist North work was early project
ed In Santiago and the extreme east,
and supported by Americans through
Baptist churches here are a large Bap
tist Church In Santiago Itself and sev
eral smaller churches In Oriente Prov
ince. Attached to the churches are
schools, and these schools have been
attended by children of both races,
usually heretofore without prejudice to
either. Reports received by the Baptist
Home Mission Society show that chapels
at La Maya and at Jorahucca have
been burned, not by military forces, but
by marauders and malcontents. Bap
tists In Eastern Cuba alone have fifty
four churches. The Episcopal Church
has vtcrk In nearly all parts of the
Island, with a cathedral at Hat ana, and
a considerable educational system that
has headquarters In Guantanamo.

and executing of good works, whether
charitable, eleemosynary, educational,
benevolent, or others of a like character
which anywhere are performed under
the guidance of the Catholic Church In
behalf of humanity, as well as those
which the betterment of social, civic,
and religious conditions may demand.
The members have done a vast deal of
good In providing homes for those tem
