The Faculty, the Trustees and all friends of the institutions must rejoice in this practical endorsement of the work of the schools. Such large gifts as were required for these buildings are not given except after most painstaking study of the present endeavors and the future prospects of this extended effort. The evident conclusion is that the work is making good today and has greater promise for coming generations. Mention the R. C. W. to advertisers. VOL. XXXII. JANUARY, 1913. Through every minute of this day Through every day of all this week Through every week of all this year Through all the years of all this life Be with me, Lord! So shall the days and weeks and years Be threaded on a golden cord, And all draw on with sweet accord Unto Thy fullness, Lord; That so, when time is past, By grace, I may at last Be with Thee, Lord! -John Oxenham. NO. 1. Through these schools the Scriptures have found their way into 6000 new homes-the Bible societies having made contributions of Gospels to that extent. The managers of the movement estimate that the schools give as much Bible instruction as the same number of Sunday schools would in seven months. In many cases the vacation school merges into the Sunday school at the close of the season. During the summer of 1912, 700 college men and women have worked as teachers. The exhibit of the Open Air and Shop Evangelistic Campaign for 1912, held in Carnegie Hall, New York City, gave much striking information about this useful enterprise. Tent services were held in nine foreign languages. Nearly ten thousand children attended the tent meetings with English services each week. Noon meetings were held daily throughout the summer on Wall Street. As a result of evangelistic work carried on for seven seasons in "Little Italy," a church of 300 Italians has been organized. From the Italian community in Fordham comes similar good news. Some of the most vituperative, red-hot revolutionists of the Russian Colony have been won and become volunteer assistants at the open-air meetings for their people. A Bohemian Church reports 21 additions, a Spanish 20. Twelve cigar factories have opened for Gospel services in Spanish. The total number of meeting centers has been 125-10 tents, 20 shops, 34 stations in the open air, and 61 elsewhere. Among the converts at a Madison Square open-air meeting was a wealthy coffee merchant from South America. A French Canadian at one gathering asked to be taught to pray, as he had never prayed in all his life. An Italian, just released from prison and preparing to kill those who had placed him there, was also converted. Every evening, at the sunset hour, hundreds of boys and girls have met for instruction in Scripture and in Gospel hymns. The treasurer of the New York City evangelistic work is Mr. John Nicholson, 541 Lexington Avenue, N. Y. A new monthly has appeared in Boston under the title of Church and State. It is published for the purpose of securing definite laws and amendments, both in Congress and in state legislatures, to prohibit sectarian appropriations. Dr. L. S. Metcalfe, former editor of the North American Review, is the prime mover in the enterprise. Mr. William Whiting Borden, a Chicago man, and son of a millionaire real estate operator, has been ordained to the ministry for service in the China Inland Mission, among the Chinese Mohammedans of Kansu. Mr. Borden was educated at Yale and at the Princeton Theological Seminary. A report in the New York World sent from Pennsylvania states that the moving picture shows are having a deadly effect upon saloon trade. In Schuylkill County there has been a marked falling off in applications for licenses and a large percentage of the liquor sellers confess that their sales have been cut into deeply. They are demanding increased taxation of the picture shows in the hope of keeping down their number. The explorer, Steffanson, discovered a new tribe of Eskimos a thousand miles east of the Mackenzie River. To evangelize them twelve native Eskimos, men and women, have started out under the leadership of the Rev. Mr. Fry of Bishop Stringer's diocese. Bishop Stringer labored in the Yukon for seventeen years without a convert. Some years ago nine were baptized, and the number has now risen to 140. The twelve volunteer missionaries are of this group. We are glad to notice that the first American Anti-alcohol Exhibit is now |
