The Episcopal Church in the Dio- cese of Washington begins its Win- ter work under a considerable handi- cap, due to the large number of va- cancies, actual or prospective, among the clergy in the various parishes. St. Philip’s Church, Laurel, and St. Matthew’s parish, Hyattsville, have been without rectors since the begin- ning of the Summer. The recent death of Rev. Francis G. Iisley leaves Anacostia parish vacant, and it is well known that Rev. Joséph Fletcher in- tends to retire from the rectorate of Rock Creek parish during the coming Fall or Winter. Rev. H. V. O. Lounsbury, formerly vicar of St. John's Church, Mount Rainier, resigned last month to accept the rectorship of Trinity Church, Shep- herdstown, W. Va. Letters have been received from Mr. Lounsbury stating that he is now inggalled in the rectory of his new parl Rev. Thomas N. Lawrence, who for the last year has been rector of St. John’s parish in Charles County, which is part of the Diocege of Wash. ington, has resigned that position and accepted a call to a church In Texas. Rev. Clarence W. Witmore, who, with e e R L O sen, has been the rector of three ad. jacent parishes in St. Marys Count: has resigned as rector of St. Marys parish and has moved to the rectory of William and Mary parish, at Val. ley Lee, of which he s also rector. Rev. Mr. Van Fossen has also re. signed and has taken up his residence in this city. There is prospect of stiM | other vacancies during the next few months. On the other hand there are sald to be several young and efficient | men available for the vacant posts, nd the bishop, the Board of Mis. sions and the vestries of the parishes | oncerned will have no difficulty in filling the stations with acceptable clergymen.

Golden Text—I can do all things in Him that strength- eneth me.—Philippians, iv.13. Paul's letter to the Philippians is a great human document. It reveals the intense love and loyalty exhibited by the first church established by the apostle in Burope. Over a decade has passed since he left the Church after his jmprison- ment. During that 10 years the mem- bership of the Phi- lippian Church had exhibited their af- tectionate regard for Paul by min- istering unto his needs and the needy in the churches that had been established in Macedonia. They had followed the apostle in their prayers and sent by the hands of Epaphroditus money to assist him. The representative of the church had ministered unto Paul, who was a prisoner in Rome. He had fallen dangerously ill while minister- ing unto the apostle. Having recov- ered, his heart went out to the loved ones in Philippl. Paul noticed his homesickness and prepared to send him home with this message of friend- ship, which contains much personal news and the confidence of a friend in their future successful and uninter- rupted progress. Paul dictated this epistle, which rman scholars have called his love letter, while he was waiting to be tried before the emperor, to whom he had appealed. The outlook was dark, but the appstle reveals his deep Rev. H. T. Stevenson love and gratitude for the fellowship | ed in caring for Possibly it was due to their generosity that he was able to have a private home. that permitted rry on his missionary work, while he was a prisoner.

These physical eriences were secondary, the spiritual life was first with the imprisoned vant of God. It was this th abled him to say to the church, which was his “crown and joy,” as he sent them his last fareweil love message, | “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” No matter which way the | imprisonment ended Paul saw that he was going to be a conqueror in life > death. If he secured his freedom then he would have the privilege and pleasure of serving his , but the executioner should hin any moment, then he w be vic trious, for “fo be with Christ” would be glory Identified With Christ. When Paul became a Christian he had to give up all the ties of fami fellowship and distinguished religious oclations that he had enjoyed be- use of bis acial recognized leadership. He had but one ambition after his conversion. He wanted to be completely with Christ Jesus, so he sacrificed upon the altar of Christian service all the ties of family, fortune agd friend ship that would hinder him®living a spiritual life. During his missionary activities Paul had been encousaged to endure the perils, privations and persecutions by his desire to be identi- fled with his Lord. He wanted to fol low Him by enjoying “the fellowship of his sufferings” in life and “becom- ing conformable unto His death, if by any means” he “might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” His experience had proved that in giving up the things that previous to his becoming a follower of Christ he had valued highly had been an ex- cellent exchange. He had enjoyed the fellowship of Christ in the trying ex- periences of life, so that he was filled with gratitude and joy at the result. It had been invaluable for the apostle to possess the Lord Jesus Christ. As he faced death he was inspired by the thrilling hope that he would share the tellowship of victory over death MIAMI 3 Days by Sea Round Trip from Baltimore, $75.21 Round Trip from Philadelphia, $80.67 A dclightful. bracing voyage on modern express steamers with Lioyd's highest rating.

His religion had stood the test of time and he had faith that it would be a win- ner in eternity. He had seen the risen Lord and experienced the con- verting power of that vision in his own soul and the joys of salvation. | He hoped to share the power of jus- tification through Christ's resurrec- tion. Paul saw in the Lord's triumph over the grave a power that quickens one’s spiritual life. The full experi ence of its power was before the apostle. It had been the source of his conversion. It had caused him to concentrate all his powers in an ef- fort of attaining the mark, which would assure him the prize in the bat- tle of life. He forgot his past suc- cesses. He pressed on with all his power ‘in response to the heavenly calling of God in Christ, desiring to obtain -~ the citizenship of Heaven through being identified with Him in a life of self-denial, sacrifice and serv- ice.

MISSION BODIES UNION 1S SOUGHT Merger of Congregational Societies to Be Reported at Council Here. That 13 Congregational missionary societies should unite into two is the proposal of a committee which has been studying the subject for two years and will report at the meeting of the National Council of the Congre- gational Churches to be held here Oc- tober 20-28. These societies expend annually over $5,000,000 and control directly properties and invested funds aggre- gating in the neighborhood of $50,- 000,000. The proposal also provides for com- bining the three denominational pe- riodicals into one; the Missionary Her- ald of the foreign boards and the | American Missionary of the home | boards becoming supplements of the Congregationalist. Uneasiness in Church. For more than half a century there has been considerable uneasiness in the churches over the number of so- cleties and not a little agitation for merging them for the sake of econ- omy and efficiency and for the sake v(!r el uynderstanding of the work by contributors. #This has now come to a head in the present proposals to the National «Council, whose action controls that of the several societies. | The plans call for uniting the three | Women's Boards of Foreign Missions with the American Board, giving the | | women a representation of not less | than one-third on the controlling boards and committees, and establish- ing regional committees and offices to conserve the interests of the former | | territorially organized boards. The women are also to be fully represent- ed on the executive staff. Likewise the nine societies whose work is in the United States are to be united under one board with a gen- | eral board ©f directors representing | the entire country | partmental committees for adminis | tering the details of missionary work. Here again the women are to be en- Ititled to not less than one-third of | the controliing committees and boards. Societies Involved. The home societies involved The American Missionary A | tion, the Congregational Home N sionary Society, the Congregational | Church Building Society, the Congre- gational Sunday School Extension clety, the Congregational Education | Society, the Congregational Founda- | tion for Education, the Congregational Board of Ministerial Relief, the An- nuity Fund for Congregational Min- isters, and the Congregational Wom- an’s Home Missionary Federation. The further recommendation fs | made that for presenting the causes to the churches and individual con- | tributiors there shall be a joint pro- motional council composed of repre- | sentatives of the several interests and | responsible for ali endeavors to create interest and raise money. The objects in view in this radical proposal are economy and efficiency | in the expenditure of funds, and great- er effectiveness in education, public- ity and money raising, together with the possibility of more democratic con- trol of a simpler organization. oy Labor Day Is Theme. Rev. Edward O. Clark, pastor of the Chevy Chase Baptist Church, has re- turned from his vacation and will preach tomorrow.

Baltimore & Ohio A Standard for Better Business One of the standards for More-Than-Truthful Advertising promulgated by .the Better Business Bureau is that urging advertisers to quote the mini- mum as well as the maximum comparative price. For instance, we recommend that instead of ad- vertising hats, “$2; values up to $5,” that the state- ment be more definite and explicit and state “$2; values $3 to $5.” This recommendation is intended to make com- parative values and prices of greater meaning to the public; to insure a definiteness and explicitness that deserves and warrants the belief and confidence of the shopping public. Those advertisers who co-operate with the Bureau for a higher code of advertising ethics follow this standard when they advertise comparative prices.
