The Protestant churches of Amer- ‘tca, as represented by the Federal ouncil of Churches and more than a «cora of religlous organizations in the teid of temperance and moral wel- fare, came out today against any hange in the prohibition laws to al- ow the use of beer and light wines. The statement, based on action taken at a conference of religfous or- njzations called by the council's commission on temperance, which is headed by former Gov. Carl E. Milli- ken of Maine, asserts that such lib- eralization of the statutes would ef- cf a “virtual nulification” of the prohibition amendment. Declaring that “the church has the same moral bligation to finish this task that it iiad to initlate it.” the council adds every moral the uor i as andard s gullty Wide Benefits Seen. three 20tk rated prohibition 8 produced ‘wide benefits, despite diffi- ‘ultics in enforcement and constant misrepresentation. * * * “Wa call upon the Christian citi- zens of the nation to sustain the ex- pressed purpose of the federal gov- 1ment to enforce the law; to report violations of it to the proper officials, as is their duty, so declared by the 'nited States Supreme Court, and to support all local, state and federal officers who obey and effectively en- force this law in ccordance with their oath of office. * * * “The churches have a special re- =ponsibility to Interpret to the peo- ple the meaning and demonstrated banefits of prohibition: to set forth the reasons for personal total absti- nence, and to bu on firm founda- tions et fo all law. “The education and 4 public ¢ retention a enforcement. of the law are fundamental to its success.

Monday night has been designated as “Sunday School Night,” Tuesday as “Famlly Night” and Wednesday as “Guest Night.” All of the Methodist Eplscopal churches in the city will be requested to dispense with their prayer meetings the closing night and attend the revival services, Special music features each of the irev 1 servic The singing !by Everett Naftzger, nephew o {evangelist, and William 8.

A “bidding prayer” issued by the national council has been authorized {for use on this occasion. This is a jplea for the prayers of the peoeple, stating specifically the items ! Which they are to Intercede. It bids jthe congregations pray for the gOV- ernment of the United States, for the work of the parishes and dlocese and especlally for the success of the mis- sionary work at home and abroad. Necessity of Intercession. The necessity for special interces- {8lon at this time was brought home to the council by the extraordinary failure of the people of the Episcopal Church to show th appreciatio jthe importa f the work the ch 1is doing the 1d « i amount of es. What, wa wide canipai wave of euthus for servic hout the country and a num- ber of men and women offered their seervices as missionaries. While there has not appeared to be any falling off in the missionary spirit of church- men, it is a deplorable fact that the contributions for missionary purposes in 1922 were very considerably less {than the requirements of the work. The budget prepared for 1923 called for an even greater expenditure, but the deficit created in 1922 will prevent any expansion at this time. | it is expected that the service of special intercession will be used in all the Episcopal churches at one of ! the regular Lenten services on Wed- i nesday next {BAPTISTS GAIN IN MANY DIRECTIONS Southern Baptist churches adm cred 442 baptisms during 19 d% net gain of 147,253 members, in- mber of ministers by Sunday schools, 1.- . and had an increase n the value of their lo- property, according to completed by Dr. E. secretary of surve information of the Bap v School Board According to this repo Raptists w 27,574 s with a membership of 6: a total of 21,184 Sunday schoo enrollent of to the number of 12,574 with membership of 406,459, while the value of their local church property The contributions to ast year the came Known 5 1919 port just P ontributions hrough the Won eties, which num 457 1c this report ____ EPISCOPAL.

Rev. Dr. George F. Dudley, speak- ing yesterday at a meeting in the in- terest of religlous pageantry and drama, stated that the growth of ritual and action in giving expression to emotion was one of the modern developments of religious life. Rev. Dr. W. L. De Vries, executive officer of the board of religious education of the Episcopal dlocese of Washington, in giving the sanction of the board to the organization of a co-operative so- ciety for church dramatics, warned against the dangers of performances not thoroughly considered in all their aspects before production. Seven Episcopal parishes were rep- resented at the meeting, which voted into existence an organization to en- ourage church pageantry and to give and instruction to those man- aging and taking part in such enter- prise. The following were elected mem- bers of the councll, with authority to elect their own officers and effect their own organization: Rev. B. M. MacBryde, Rev. G. C.
