EJL PASO HERALD Week-End Edition, August 14-15, 1920. 17 MINISTERS 10 COLLEGE I 10 URGE LEAGUE OF IH1IS Ml TORE than 4000 ministers, college , professors and public spirited ' voffltn have recently Joined a world alliance that aims, through churches of all names, to establish International good will, to secure en trance of the United States into a league of nations, and to end wars by bringing Jnstice. The plan has some relation to the church peace union, the one financed by the late Andrew Carnegie with 2,000,000. and is also closely related to the federal council of churches and its work for better relations with Japan. By those who are handling the membership campaign it is said tnere is marked Interest in every part of the country, and a strong sentiment that some form of league of nations must be formulated and adopted. It is explained by the promoters of tne alliance tnax some time do fore I9i large deputations of mln 'sters exchanged visit between Ger many and England, and that the coning of the war alone prevented American ministers from getting into hs exchange plan. Now the work is taken up again, and just now there is in session in Switzerland a meeting of Christian leaders of almost all Europe and both Americans, to pro mote friendships as means to end wars, through the plans that' were cut short six years ago. National councils having these aims are already formed in Holland. Italy, Germany, Belgium. Great Brit ain. Sweden, Denmark. France, Switz erland and Hungary. SALARIES OF CLCRGT1IEX AXLE BEING IXCKEASED THIS TEAR. The big administrators of affairs in churches are having their salaries increased. For many years salaries of Methodist bishops and missionary secretaries have been 55000. All have now been increased to J600A. These include the new administra tors who are to collect Methodist Centenary pledges. Some of the missionary secretaries have been raised to J 7000- Besldes the salary raise, Metaoaist bishops et allowances of $1500 for house ana 3loot xar stenograpner. The Episcopal church recently reor ganised its general administrative affairs, andralsed salaries of execu tivcs from S3000 in the case of irav el.ng secretaries and missionary bishops to J 4000, and of central of fice men from $9900 to J 6000.

M- C A. secretaries, always high er than the church salaries, have been increased to an average of 52000, with a few at 510.0 00. So far as can be learned, there has been no increase In the salaries of the highly paid pastors of famous churches. These have stood for years at from $8000 to J 15,000, and still so continue. In their cases it Is known that wedding fees have doubled, at least in the cases of churches where weddings are numerous. The sala ries of the Interchurch World lead ers were $6000 to $8000. They have not been increased. arcrsomsTs face big job ur roLlECTISG CE3TTENART FU3TD. Methodists say they recognize that perhaps the hardest part of their centenary celebration Is before them. Tha rft-reraal of feelimr following the war, a political campaign and the collapse of the Interchurch world movement, may make the collection of the pledged $116,00,000 difficult. This was the amount -promised for general work, payment of It to cover a period or live years. There has now been created a com mittee on conservation and advance. It Is charged with the duties of keep ing up Methodist morale, seeing to it that those who offered life services keep to their offers, and that those who pledged money actually pay it in. Bev. Raymond J. Wade, of Indiana. has been chosen to bead the commit tee, and his first assistant is Bev. Morris W. Ehnes, if the missionary education movement. There is an ad visory board. The headquarters of the committee are in Chicago. In the matter of continuing an ex pensive monthly periodical the deci sion was adverse. About $,0W.O0 is outstanding In pledges for this new committee to get in in four years. KXIGKT3 OF COLUMBUS PLAN TO TRACT 250,000 YEARLY. Knights of Columbus among Cath olics emulate the Y" among Protes tants, and yet they have found new fields. It is calculated that the night schools, which the Knights will establish with the $7.00.000 which they have remaining after concluding their war work, win pro Tide training for 2&0.OOO students a year. Primarily, these will be former men and women in war service, but after the manner of the T." the Knights will now open Instruction In certain lines to the general public. Former service men are now in tech nical schools at an expense to the Knights of $2,000,000- othAr Nathalie lavmen are not far behind the Knights. Preparations are be ins made for the first meeting of the national laymen's council since their organization a year ago as part of the national Catholic wel fare council. " The meeting will be held in Washington and every be nevolent organization, formerly In the Catholic laymen's federation, has promised to send delegates. What was begun as an unofficial enterprise on the part of Catholic laymen has now received full In dorsement of the church, and It is reported that the Washington meet ing next month will make and an nounce some far reaching plans, chiefly social service, that will com pare favorably with the educational work oi tne .tmignis. MAYFLOWER" WAS NOT HOME OF CONSTTTDTIONAXi GOVT. According to the Virginia claim, constitutional government in America, had its s.tart in the vestry room of a church on the Island of Jamestown, and not in the cabin of the "May flower off the New England coast. The year was 1619. and somewhat more than 12 months before the Pil grims reached American shores. Ac cordingly, Virginia has asked some churches to observe the 301st anni versary of the event, and its com mittee reports that not a .few will do so. Cooperation obtains between the Pilgrim and the Virginia com mittees, each having members on the otner. On the island of Jamestown the Holy Communion was celebrated first on June 21. 1607. On nearly the same spot a church was later built, and in its vestry there came together elected delegates xroxn tne island and adjacent mainland, and there constituted a local representative government. Only four years after Jamestown's settlement, a settlement was made on the mainland at Williamsburg, and old Bruton church In that city is still in use. The Jamestown church went to ruin, but has been repro duced. Through the floor of what was the vestry room where the electors met, roots of trees project, and ancient headstones are on every hand.

I By REV. MILO ATKIHS0IT, First Christian Church. TWO BAPTISTS TOUR WORLD AID IXTERXATIOXAI FEEU5G. Two mtn who are regarded as per haps the foremost living Baptists have just started on a tour of the world to get acquainted with other Baptists. They are Rev. Br. J B. Gambrell, of the Southwestern theo logical seminary &nd Rev. Dr. E. Y. Mullins, of Louisville seminary. They represent the Baptists of the south, and ro In an official capacity. In some measure they will influence future relations between American Baptists and the new and growing Baptist bodies in Central Europe, and also the disposition or tne i.s.vuu, 000 which Baptists of the south sub scribed a few months ago for Bap tist expansion. These leaders will go first to Eng land.

Conferences are to follow with Baptists of the near east, some of whom were until recently eastern orthodox Catholics. Then a tour of the mission fields of the far east will be made, and Baptists and other Christian bodies will be visited. SCRIPTURE incident. John 21:1-17. People who read this story some times condemn Peter for propose Ing that they go fishing, claiming that It is an evidence of quickly de parting faith in the Master that he is so ready to 'return to his old life." But the return to U)e old life In this case kas nothing to do with moral lapse. Peter is simply turning to ms regular method of earning his daily bread. It was perfectly natural for him so to do. Indeed, the necessity of toil for dally bread is often the saving grace that keeps the soul from despair in its hour of deep grief. Those who are permitted to nurse their sorrow and brood on their loss, often find the burden growing on them. Many of heaven's sweetest angels come In dark disguise. Life Is made up so largely of com monplace things! What is the Chris tian's advantage over the man of the world? The sinner can arise as good a crop as the saint. Christ's prayer was not "that thou shouldst take them out of the world." but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one Christ In i Commonplace Life Christ manifests himself in the midst of the most commonplace duties of life. They might have expected after his resurrection that he would appear In Jerusalem, In the temple, on some great feast day. But here he Is while they are busy with the most commonplace task. We look for him on the Lord's day at the com munion service and In the assembly of the saints, but we do not always see mm wnen ne comes to us in tne home or in the shop or office on the other days of the week. When he came he gave command. "Jesus said cast "He knows more about the business affairs of life than men know. If the teachings of Jesus should be accepted just as he gave them to us. all labor troubles would be settled, profiteers would slink away and human society would see that even In the marts of trade there could still be felt the throb of brotherhood. Even the Imperfect ap plication of his teaching has made Christian nations tremendously su perior to nonChristlan lands In their business, commercial and industrial life. Commonplace Unties Are Noble. He had prepared for them their breakfast. Holy hands were busy at common tasks. It Is the manner In which the task Is done and not the task itself that determines whether it be noble or not. Many today seem. to think that such toll degrades. It Is degrading only to those who de spise the toil. But to those who see in these commonplace duties a neces sary requirement of human life, these tasks are transformed into tokens of nobility. The meal ends that love may be gin. When they had eaten, he talks to them of the holiest of human emo tions "Lovest thou me?" Man needs his dally bread. But "nan shall not live bv bread alone." God "formed man of the dust of the of the world. earth.' And so man must be sus tained by the things that grow out of the earth. But also "God breathed Ir.to his nostrils the breath of life aci man became a living soul." So man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Man earns his dally bread, that he may have strength to busy himself with the tasks of love. Asks Only For Lotc. This wise teacher begins with a wonderful lesson. "Lovest thou me?" No abstract philosophy. So simple that a child can grasp It. Love, the purest flame that glows In the human heart. And it must be directed to him. the fairest of 10,000 and altogether lovely. The secret of his religion centers in his own personality. Theo logians may quarrel over many ques tions about him. He only asks that men shall love him. But be sure to catch the last of his question. "Lovest thou me more than these?" That word "more" is the heart of the Inquiry. Many love him. but with an affection so faint that many other demapds take precedence over him. He asks first place in the heart's affection. Then all things will automatically fall Into proper place. "Feed my lambs." This was the specific command to Peter. But to all he says: "If a man love me he will keep my word; and my Father will love nun ana we wm cons uuw him snri rnskA our abode with him." Thus fulfilling his promise.

It supplies a foundation for security, peace and joy which nc chances of life, no terrors of death, no possibilities of eternity can disturb or threaten. Rev. W. S. Hoggett, Highland Park Methodlsxhurch. Uzny days may pass in which a man may feel no need of the church. But the time comes sooner or later to every man when his own strength is not sufficient for the trial. It behooves every man therefore in the days of calm to secure the anchorage which the church alone can give him, that he may be able to stand the test when the tempest comesj Rev. Milo Atkinson, First Christian church. The public is manifesting much more concern these davs about iriitmir their burdens than they are about taking on any more. Children no longer have to cut the wood, mow the lawn, or run errands. We have no sympathy with those who refuse the opportunity of self -development to any nf our people. But this cannot be done by taking away all our burdens. Whoever advocates too much leisure for humanity is doing as great a harm as he who advocates no leisure at all, Dr. Floyd Poe, First Presbyterian church. Some people seem to think that the Christian life is a nink tea affair, but the new testament idea is vastly different- Jesus said: "Whosoever win come after He, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me." And Paul said: "Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ-" The call today is for men and women who will stand fast, endure and sacrifice everything, it need be, for Jesus.
