CHRISTIAN LIFE COURSE Lutherans Ask for a Definite Program of Religious Education. Richmond, Va., Oct. 25.—Asking ! far the adoption of a definite program of religious education and its promo- j tion through synodical, conference, district, and local organizations, the I Parish and Church School Board laid J before the United Lutheran Conv’en | tion today a complete plan for such j a course. The “Christian Life Course” as outlined by the board, parallels the | method and nomenclature of the grad | ed public schools, the 6-3-? plan be ing, followed in the preparation of the 1 text-books ( and courses of study. During the past two years the i Board has bent its energies toward j the establishment of. local training ; schools and other agencies for develop j ing efficient teachers and leaders. I These schools offer two and three year courses and award diplomas upon graduation. “One of the greatest needs of the Church today,” the re port declared, “is trained leaders who know their Church and who possess the personal uqalities of leadership. A great increase has been noted in the number of Daily Vacation Bible Schools conducted by Lutheran con gregations during the past two years. Although the church is working out a comprehensive system of religious | education, covering the Sunday schools, and weekday religious courses as well, the primary responsibility for the re ligious training of the child, the Board I finds, rests upon the parents. It ! urges those who are in charge of the I religious educational work in the | churches to “make special effort to ! reach down into the homes and secure ! devotional use of the Scriptures, a sys | tematic study of the catechism, as well as our general religious litera ture.” The promotion of this pro gram is to operate through a monthly magazine, “The Parish School.” A hymnal containing a simplified Order of Service and 373 carefully selected I hymns has been prepared and is now off the press. A budget of $50,000 was asked for the next biennium.. Two additions have been made to field and editorial forces. Mrs. Maud J. Baldwin of Philadelphia has been ; appointed editor in charge of the Phil : dren’s Division, and Rev. S. White ; Rhyiie of Rocky Mount, N, <l, has ; been called as southern field secretary. The stauff now consists of six men ; and women, the other members being, Rev. Charles P. Wiles, D. D.. Rev. ; William L. Hunton, D. P., Rev. D. Burt Smith, I). D.. and Rev. Char les 11. B. Lewis, D.

Oct. 25. —“Moral- ity alone i* helpless to save a man’s soul; salvation does not depend upon man’s own efforts but upon his faith in God’s grace,” declared Rev. Joseph Stump, D. D., L. H. D., President of Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary, Minneapolis, Minn., in the course of his sermon last evening at the First Lutheran Church, attended largely by the delegates to the conven tion of the United Lutheran Church • in America meeting here. Although Christ has given u* a code ! of ethics equalled by none, and al though Christ is acknowledged the greatest teacher the world has ever known, yet these things pale into in , significance, he asserted, when com pared with the real fundamental prin | ciple of the Christian rd’.gion.—rsalva tion by faith.

The American Woman’s Associa tion has paid .$1,400,000 for a site for its new clubhouse in New York city. has been scoffed at byghose who think themselves wise,” - Dr. Stump pointed i out. He quoted his text. I Cor. 1:18 "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us whicji are saved it is the power' of God.” lit is human nature that we can lift ourselves over the stile by pulling bn our own bootstraps, but af ter we have tried it, we realise that the power must come from outside ourselves before * can bo lifted up. j The grace of God is the one power in all the world which is able to save men from sin and death and to make them the children of God in time and eternity.” Changes in Methods of Teaching The ology’ Proposed. Richmond. Va., Oct. 25. —Radical changes in the methods of teaching theology in the twelve seminaries of the United Lutheran Church are pro posed in a report delivered today to the biennial convention of that organ ization by its Commission on Theolog ical Education. The Commission pro posed to the governing body of the church that the three-year courses j now offered to students in Lutheran j seminaries should be extended by the j addition of a fourth year to the class- ; es in two of the seminaries, one in the East ami the other in the Middle West. Boards of education in each of the thirty-four synods of the Luth eran Church are urged to extend their ; a : d to students electing to take this J additional year of study. It is suggested . tnat tiie four-year j seminaries be encouraged to develop, alongside of their theological courses, schools of instruction for the laity and the special training of foreign mis sionaries and postgraduate courses in theology. Consolidation of seminaries now loeated in contiguous territory is proposed and a. resolution is offered, providing that hereafter no synod, or group of synods, should organize or locate a theological seminary without first securing the consent of the Unit ed Lutheran Church. . These recommendations are the re sult of a thorough survey of the his- j ,tory apd present status of theological education and-the Commiss : on makes it clear in its report that its purpose is to strengthen the curricula of the seminaries ami to provide for the stu dents sounder instruction in theology, j ANOTHER INCREASE ; .uH COTTON CROP' ; IS NEW FORECAST | ; .
