: 12—A FOND FOR FRENCH WAR ORPHANS HELP i(ew Nationa! Society Set on Foot in New York With Definite Purpose in View. OUR DEBT TO FRANCE SHE WILL HELP RAISE DENTAL FUND. With an organization remarkable for its completeness, considering the very short time that has elapsed since its inception, the “American Society for the Relief of French War Or- phans” has opened permanent head- quarters in the Equitable building, 120 Broadway, New York City. The deeds of Lafayette and Rochambeau and their gallant sol- diers are chronicled in American his- tory and form some of the brightest ages. The debt of America to rance for its generosity, which Washington declared “must inspire every citizen of the states with senti- ments of the most unalterable grati- tude,” has never been repaid. It is \ possible that it never will be, but the \exigencies of the terrible war that for more than two years has been de- vastating Europe will enable Ameri- cans, out of their prosperity and abundance, to show, in a measure, their “unalterable gratitude.” Orphans in Plenty, There are already in France more than 200,000 children made fatherless .

COUNCIL MEETS St. Louis, Nov. ZSA——(Sp:ciaL)—h‘ is learned on unquestioned authority | that the commission on evangelism of the federal council of churches will say some very plain things con- cerning the Rev. William A, Sunday’s “free. will” offering, in its report to be made to the council at its forth- coming meeting in St. Louis. More than that the commission will recom- mend, it is said, that all evangelists, Sunday with the others, be taken charge of by the churches themselves, according to religious bodies to which they belong, their finances regulated and supervised, and evangelists paid salaries, > The commission will tell the coun- cil, it is said, that almost all profes- sional evangelists have united in ex- pression of a desire that they be put on an official basis, as are ministers, and money matters be taken off their hands. The commission does not state whether Sunday has himself joined in the appeal, but it is infor- mally stated that he has not done so. The commission will say, it is known, that some measure of harm is done by the Sunday “free will” offering plan. Public criticism of it is known to be eneral, and it is not mitigated by the act that Sunday gives much of it away. It is certain that the council will adopt the recommendations of its commission. Flaws in Management., Other reports to the council will show unhealthy conditions in church management. There will be presented a careful survey of the whole state of Ohio. That survey will make plain, it is known, that tremendous sums of money are lost in so-called Christian work. There are places that are over-churched, and also places that are overlooked. In not a few places where large sums of money should be spent only very small sums are available, while in other places money is poured out and wastcxfi The coun- cil will ajso hear that throughout the whole United States there has been very serious deterioration of family religion. Instead of the war making Americans more religious, as it has done in France and England, pros- perity or other cause seems to have made, so the council will hear, inroads upon the church in the home and the home in the church. The council will hear that something must be done immediately, Conditions are more serious in'cities of New England and the middle west, and less so in the south and on the Pacific coast. Propoaifions to be put up to the council include one to get into the temperance cause in behalf of work- ingmen, and to take hold of the plans for the saving of human lives, espe- cially in factories where machinery is run. The saving of life by all possi- ble means willy however, become a part of the tasks of American churches as it has not heretofore been, if the council takes action if is expected to take. In 'this line the council will hear from a commission of education in the public schools, the Gary and other plans. . It seems the council has been in constant touch, since Europe went to war, with the churches of Germany, France and Russia, and of course England. Certain things the German chancellor has said in the Reichstag have been from relations with the council, and with the churches of Germany, Plans are perfected, and will be acted upon in St. Louis,. for larger work by Christian churches in America and in all European belliger- ent nations immediately the war ends. The St. Louis meeting is an executive one, coming every four years, and its date is December 3, continuing that week. William Jennings Bryan is to | conduct public meetings, at his own expense, but in co-operation with the council, during the sittings of the council, | | | SOON | and theological 'Dr. Henry @, Mabie Hel_'g_ 'Ehis Week Dr. Henry C.
