PROPOSE NEW SERIES OF
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS
Agitation For the Change Has Been
Evident For Several Yean Past.
I Mr tin AaancMted frtw.1
Minneapolis, Minn.. Nov. 14 Hold
ing that the international series of
Sunday school lessons in Protestant
churches of all, denominations have
not been' satisfactory and that tbe
elective method of study falls to give
a connected knowledge of the Bible,
the world's fundamenta' Christian
Conference committee fcas recom
mended that the international series
be dropped and a new series adopted.
Action of the coramltte to create a
new Sunday School Bible course, will
have a nation-wide effect and will
result in extended discussion throdgb
out the world by those refusing and
those who adopt the new- study, H
was said here by J. Prank Norris,
chairman of tbe connmittee, upon con
clusion of the work., ,'
Agitation for the change was evi
dent for several vears nasi and at ihe
last Fundamental Christian conven
tion in Los Angeles, which was made
up of representative from every
Protestant denomination in tbe United
States, panada and eight foreign
countries, the committee which recom
mended the important change was
appointed to formu'afie a new series,
according to Dr. Norris.
"It no doubt will provoko comment,"
Dr. 'Norris declared, "but the new les
sons will teach a whole connected
version of, the Bible, not elective
parts as heretofore, and the growing
.generations will be not satisfied with
a partial, if not emasculated gospel."
The committe edvlses that beginning
January 1 and through September
19(23, the (Kudies toe given in tbe
Gospel and Eplst cs of John.
Naming several reasons for Its
action, the committee declarod the
nrevatllng methods of Bible study ndw
in vogue are not satisfactory to the
most effective Bible students of the
world nor to the 8unday School public
at large. "The elective method has
too often resulted In unrelated lee-
.sons ana consequently has falied to
give a connected and comprehensive
knowledge f the world," the report
reads.
"The greatest single reason, hnw-
ever. for thlSNACtlon." tne report con
tinues, "is ip the interest of trtith as

(By (he Associated Press.)
Chicago, Nov. -TS.Mvw 'tmTtrhc'
usual amount of winter activity in
building with residential work taking
a prominent pari, is indicnted in a
survey of activities innile by The Am
erican Contractor, In twenty-seven
states forming the mnin northeastern
part of the United States.
Valuation of the 2141 -contracts
awarded for the week-ending -October
28, reached a .total of $04,348,40 and
was but slightly lower than the week
ly average for the first nine months
of this record breaking year, says the
publication.
- "The volume of contracts awarded
during the last two weeks of October,
which are normally dull, shows that
there Is expectation of less let-up than
usual during the winter period," the,
tinner states.., "There are incontrovert
ible fifcts which show that building np
tivity is in no danger of a slump for'
months to come.
"Contemplated work reported for
the week ending October 28 totalled
100,002.fl00. For the corresponding
week of 1921, this total wns only 8is.
022,000 and the valuation of con
tracts awarded was only $51,718,000.
Yet tbe fall of 1021 was considered a
good opener for the spring season of
1022.
"f the contemplated work for that
week. $40.40130 is for residential
building as against $12,381,000 for bus
iness building and $7,025,300 for in
dustrial Imllding. While the demand
for residence building has not dimin
ished for some time, there is little
business and industrial building going
on and a period of business expnnsion
wil add these projects to the field. In
Addition'there 1 much educational and
governmental building in abeyance
which must be done soon.
"Skilled labor will be scarce next
year as it is now. Indications are
that no reduction will be made in the
wages of common labor which is all
nbsorlied. Material men are produc
ing ut increased costs. The demand
for labor and materials in the spring
will equal the supply. From such
facts, a definite logical conclusion re
garding future building costs can be
drawn by anyone."
I they enable memliers to win the big
gest honors if he or she but strive
enough to reach the top. It isn't a
matter of chance or luck. One can
decide whether or not a prize, ami a
big one at that, shall la theirs.
Extra Vote Opportunity-.
The fact that twice the regular
schedule of votes will lie, credited up
on each subscription (except aecond-
pnyments, which will lie credited under
previous club offers) makes this week's
vote offer most attractive from every
angle. It gives the diligent ones an
opportunity to accumulate enough
votes to overcome any lend that may
have lsen gained heretofore, either
real or Imaginary. The schedule of
votes this week Is double the regular
number of votes on all subscriptions
turned in either new or old.
A Close Race.
A very remarkable feature of the .
drive up to the present time is the
close race being made by the majority
of the memliers. The great value of
1torP''&',l'Wt1t ntrnt-
lier of them has brought forth a most
representative class of workers ami
they in turn are demonstrating their
ability to- take subscriptions and pro
mole a vigorous campaign. From the
present indications the race will be a
hard fought one from now to the fin
ish as each and every member have
their coterie of friends who are urging
them on to greater achievements and
giving their loyal support.
Finding Themselves.
Several surprises were afforded the
cnmpalgni department last week by
members who had taken lukewarm in
