- PREACHING MISSION HELPS CHILDREN Episcopal Leader Discusses Importance of Understand- ing Little Folk. ‘With public attention being focused this week on child welfare through President Hoover's conference, a work of no less mmportance in reaching an understanding of the problems of chil- dren is being conducted through the l(!umm ‘;! L:h p lpl.u:op'.ln m.izhm'( lon of e Church o ‘Washington. Special children's services are being conducted at 4 o'clock dally at St. Stephen's Church, Sixteenth and Newton streets, in connection with the Preaching Mission. Very Rev. Raimundo De Ovies, dean of st. Philip's Cathedral in Atlanta, Ga., has charge of these services. Discussing the work that is being | done during the mission in administer- E‘ to chlll:fi!'n'l souls, Dean De ov}e‘v a specially prepared statement for The Star, said: “The church has always been in- | terested in the child, and her work among children has grown from the | beginning. It is necessary only to | examine the prayer book to see how | much provision has been made for the nurture of children in Christian living. In fairly recent times, however, a special effort has been made to reach the child through the similar methods that are being used for adults and to dignify the child’s position by conducting services and holding missions definitely and specifically for children. Missioners now 80 to various parishes to work among the -children exclusively. This plan is all a part of the awakened interest in and study of the child that has taken during the last two decades in secular and religious spheres. “The child is'a serious person, far more than we often realize. The child's Joys, sorrows, desires and ambitioris are exceedingly intense, though usually of n, because they go through rapid processes of change. Nevertheless, they are worthy of anybody’s serious consideration. “I was struck with the attitude of $ha D chld ny the handthrsugn 5 er e e hane ough a shopping district, when the child drop- ped her doll.

The children were told that we were going to take Christ and His teaching out of the community and that by doing so certain elements of the town must be removed in con- sequence. They promptly clamored for the removing of the churches. That ‘was obvious. Then hospitals, then the free schools; finally, one child said: The missioner off the houses.” : ‘Not at all.
