The society is di- vided into four groups, named for the first four instructors in the seminary —Drs. Boyce, Broadus, Manly .and Willlams—and each group is held re- sponsible for certain phases of prac- tical Christian work in the city, such as shop meetings, street services, work among the foreigners, settle- ment work, hospital visitation, and the like. Each student is assigned a definite task and required to report upon the results obtained. A few of the young ministers are given assignments as apprentice pas- tors in the churches of Louisville. Each young man thus assigned makes the study of the regular pastor his own study, and is subject to orders for whatever service may need to be performed. The young man is paid for his work, thus enabling him to defray the expenses of his seminary HIT BY FAMINE IN CHINA New Scourge in Central Area Due to Disastrous Floods, Bishop Huntington Reports. NEW YORK, N. Y., January 14— Approximately ten million people are affected by the new famine in cen- tral China, due to last summer’s dis- astrous floods, according to advices received at Church Missions House, here, from Rt. Rev. D. T. Huntington, D. D., Episcopal Bishop of Anking. Bishop Huntington says he believes the destruction of houses alone is 8,000,000, and with the added destruc- tion of crops, he places the total dam- age at $100,000,000. Not all of the population are rendered absolutely destitute, he declares, but adds that most of them will need some sort of help to get through the winter. No attempt has been made to estimate the loss of life. An International famine relief com- mission has been organized at Shang- hal, consisting of associations from Hopeh, Honan, Shansi and Anhwel. A new feature of the rellef plans which this commission has in hand is the use of such relief funds as are obtained |course. for the work of building dikes and | The seminary students report the roads and the improvement of drainage | Jargest number of personal confer- systems to prevent & recurrence of lences and conversions so far this year the disastrous flood.

By the Associated Press. 4 PHILADELPHIA, January 14—| Plans for mobilizing thousands of episcopal church laymen in Pennsyl- | vania, Maryland, Delaware, the Dis- trict of Columbia, Virginia and West Virginia into a, federation of laymen’s associations were made in this city yesterday. Development of increased lay activ- ity in the churches’ work and the pro- motion of closer fellowship with all Christian bodies are the aims of the movement. 1t is exclusively a lay- men’s movement and is the result of action taken by the synod of the province of Washington at Wilming- ton, Del., in November. The synod commended the move- ment and named a committee consist- ing of one representative from each of the thirteen dioceses composing the province. That committee was called together from its initial meeting by Ira W. Stratton of Reading, P’a., chair- man, and representing the diocese of Bethlehem. A As a first step in the utilization of the man-power of the dioceses repre- sented at the meeting it was decided to request each bishop to issue a pastoral to his laity, calling attention to_the movement. G There will be a further ting in Washington and each committee will report on the various lay organiza- tions and their activities and methods of work. PALLIUM NOW AWAITS ARCHBISHOP CURLEY | 1 | !

Golden Text: “This is the vie- tory that hath overcome the :v:yrld. even our faith.”—I John, 5.4. BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. One of the most dramatic scenes in human history has been assigned for our study this weck. Romance may be challenged to rival the weird trag- edy, with its strange contrasts, in- tense competition, crushing defeat and miraculous victory, that was en- acted upon Mount Carmel, with the priests of Baal and the prophet of | God for actors and the people of Israel for spectators. One must study the whole chapter to see how Elijah succeeded in convincing the nation by his challenge to the priests of Baal. tory over the followers of Baal ex- plains why they accepted Jehovah as God and then completely destroyed the defeated champions and devotees of Baal. Elijah was summoned by Divine command to leave the shelter, secur- ity and safety which he had enjoyed during his three years' sojourn in the home of the widow of Zarephath to return to Israel. vears had passed by since the proph started his against the idolatry that threatened the destruction of the na- tion' by had pr ways reco vah's displeasure. hoping that it would result in the restoration of the wor- ship of God. It required courage for him to return, for the court held that n appe 1 to the people. H ble for the horrors of famine wh had all but destroyed They had sought him as a criminal escaped from justice among the na- tions and put a_price upon his head. The fearless champion of Jehovah did not stop to count the cost, but obeyed God's command that called upon him to return. His providential meeting with Oba- . whose loyalty to the Lord had demonstrated in h efforts to the prophets of Jehovah, re led that Elijuh had not returncd supplicant secking an audien ith Ahab.

They were joined by the priests of Baal, 450 strong, and the priests of shtoreth, the obscene Tyrian god- dess, whose ceremonial services and teachings, under the direction and support of Jezebel, were so much like the worship offered to Jehovah at the shrines erected in Bethel and Dan that the difference could not be de- tected by the ordinary worshiper. £ Immediately upon the convening xperic g Wedn S at 8 o'clock next d fuponishieiconren v Frperience:of e Deeper | M Ayl Jocture will be gives |icheimationaleasemblsHol st St 9:43—Sunday school. 6:45—R.
