The church decided to provide this for its former attend- ants, and Miss Bartlett took a cen- istrict and found enough ting a Sunday school. On June 15 the first meeting was held in an upstairs tenement room and was attended by 26 children and 12 adults. Aided by a portable or- gan, borrowed from the hospital, Miss Bartlett taught several songs to he children, who then went down- stairs and sang them to an invalid section woman. The adults sang . several pleees in Italian. Forced to leave this meeting place, Miss Bartlett obtained quar- ters in a vacant store which was for sale. Here, during July, the chil« dren perched on cracker boxes and molasses jugs and interspersed the religious services with bean throw- ing. The adults met in the back yard following the church school Then one Sunday morning Miss Bartlett arrived at the site of the store to find the building had been razed and the school was again without a home. . This time tempor- ary quarters were obtained in a garage which was being built, and Miss Bartlett and her charges perch- ed themselves on the beams and went on with thelr lessons. Rev. Philip M. Rose was secured to take care of the adults, and work among them progressed more rapidly, and a portable organ was purch: As the time drew near when the ’ garage [ would have to be vacated, the standing committee of the |ehurch took a hand and rented an apartment at 144 Hunter road. This wpartment has been rechristened the “Casa del Populo,” or ‘Community Center." he people who attend the serv- ices are very serious and earnest dlout the mission, and are so desir- ou of continuing it that they re he the church support the com- nunity house, Incidents which would listract the ¢ attention of an iry congregation, fail to make iy impression here, A child falls lown and starts to howl; nobody pays any attention to it ang the MW as & s00Nn C Another has a 1 and is | to itself with the A father chases his the back yard with a to make him attend the school.

BRYAN New English Bishop Believes in Modern Theory of Evolution BY MILTON BRONNER (NEA Bervice Gorrespondent) Londog, Oct. 18.—Boy, page Wil- llam Jennings Bryan! And when you find him, break the news fo him as gently as possle sible—Ernest Willlam Barnes, who rejects the Genesls story of Adam and Eve and believes strongly in the REV. E. W. BARNES Bishop of Birmingham Darwinian theory of evolution has just been consecrated Bishop of irmingbam! Had he been born in America and Proclaimed his scientific-religious theories, he would not only have had Bryan's hob-nailed boots ‘Stbmping” all over his tender young frame, but also, perhaps, that of many clergymen who abhor the mbdernist school. Dr. Barnes is 60 and very young to attain such a high position in the Established Church of England. Just after the war Premier Lloyd George made him Canon of West- minster Abbey. People in a hazy way knew of him as a tremendously learned clergyman given to out- spoken: discussion of topics that most people pussyfoot about. But he banged. the general public squarely in the eye in 1920 when the great scientific body, the British associa- tion, held its annual meeting at Cardiff, Canon Barnes delivered the opening permon and boldly set forth that the Garden of Eden was a myth. Said ho, “In spite of the first chap- ters of Chenesis, the storfes of the special creation of man by God, and the Fall have become incredible. “The framework of ideas which placed Cireation 6000 years ago has simply falken to pleces. “The Ofld Testament is Jewish lit- erature. In it are to be found folk- lore, defactive history, half-savage morality, dbsolete forms of worship based on pmmitive and erroneous ideas of the rature of God, crude science.” To his clerikal critics he sent this shrapnel. The gilence of Christian teachers with regard to them is re- sponsible forjthe alienation of young- er educated me¢n and women from Christian chufrches. Christian clergy can no longer close their minds to the new ideas. The closed mind will lead, sooner os" later, to the cosed Church.” ' But it he is a modernist, he is also devout. He believes in the Di- vinity behind the vast process of evolution. e # P “Man is not" nalys he, Jjest of bloschemiqal reactions. He told the Birmingham reporters the other day: “It appears to me that from the Christlan point of view one must be in favor of what is called an ad- vanced soclal policty. If, for that rea- son, one is accused of indulging in labor propaganda—well, one must ighore the accusation, and continue to, press for such #oclal reforms as soem necessary.’ Religious Items | A supper will be served at the First Baptist church Wednesday eve- ning.
