It is officially stated that there are n6 fewer than 60.000 priests serv ing with the belligerents on all fronts and this exclusive of the priests of the Eastern church serving with the Russian forces, and the thousands of ministers of ail denominations serv ng with the Protestant troops of Great Britain and her gallant sons ,from beyond the seas. Soldier Priest la' Trenches. "I heard some months ago from Catholic sources a moving account of the work or one of these soldier priests. A half-ruined church, within the zone of fire was filled with wounded men laid in rows upon straw along the nave, chancel, and aisles. Yet the altar was lighted, and by it expectant servers stood waiting. "Presently the door opened and a cavalry captain entered and made his way through the dolorous scene or pain and death, his spurs clinking on his heels, his sheathed sword held in his left .hand, while with his right he made the sign of benediction over the ranks of moaning men. From pal let to pallet he passed listening to whispered confessions from tortured lips and givirTg absolution, at length seating himself in a chair near the' altar where those who were able to do so came to him one by one with CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT Sunday School Lesson Tomorrow.

Final ar rangements have been made for the preliminary conference tomorrow and Monday for the organization and con vening of the American Jewish con gress, t The call for the conference is signed by the heads of twenty nation-wide Jewish organizations. In stating the purpose of the com ing congress, the call says: "The movement for- the holding of an American Jewish congress to labor for the attainment of Jewish rights has by steady advance attained a dom inant position in Jewish public life Brought face to face with the unpar alleled crisis in Jewish history created by the war, the, realization has been ' norne in upon tne jews in America that only by means of the collective strength and moral forces of our peo ple could we attempt adequately to solve the grave problems confronting Israel. Democratic Meeting Planned. "True to the highest Jewish and American ideals, the demand was made for organization on a democratic and representative basis and the spon taneous response with which the masses of our people met this call for greater Jewish unity and responsi bility constitutes at once a challenge to indifference ami. a pledge of serv ice before which all doubt and hesi tation should give way." With reference to the proposed con gress, the American Jewish commit tee has sent a letter to the secre tary of the organization committee, which after reciting some of the work done by the American Jewish commit tee, gives its reason for declining to take part. In his letter, Louis Mar shall, the president, says: "... It would be unwise. Im politic and positively injurious, to convene a congress during the prog ress of the European war. It is so strongly convinced of the soundness of this proposition, not only as a re suit of its own study and observa tion, but of information received from responsible organizations abroad, that OF CHURCH Swedish Augustana Rev.

" CHRIST KEYSTONE By Rev, Dr. A. L. Crim, Paator of v An sppch had been produced chiefly along two lines, religious and philosophic: Juda ism, assisted by revelation, and unaided Gre cian philosophy. Like pillars in an arch, each was incomplete without the keystone. Christ -was the keystone. . Since the Dark Ages, development has i followed similar line. Protestantism and scientific civilization. One with, the other without, a divine revelations, ? , A divided' Protestantism, like Judaism, has had but a partial revelation for the world, fx i f y i and therefore is incomplete. Present civilization, without Christianity, is inefficient. :.s This is being demonstrated at Ver dun. The highest civilization known in the world, unrestrained by true Christianity,. is writing history in blood. The end of this dual development is at hand. The arch again waits the keystone. Christ only can supply the world's cry for fullness. . A divided church and a Christless civilization are impotent in this epochal hour! These fields are white. They demand men. Men of highest possible civilization, unfettered by de nominational differences and guided by a pure Christianity. lt cannot, without doing violence to its convictions, participate In any movement , which would contemplate the holding xt a congress prior to the cessation of hostilities, not only be cause of its futility, but because of Its potentiality for mischief." Mr. Marshall then cites facts which he says shows that the congress will not be democratic due to the method of selection of delegates, and in con cluding says: "Jacob H. Schiff in an authorized interview also assails the congress idea, declaring that ai: that is neces sary is a conference or convention, and declaring that the congres is un-American. He said: "We do not want any politicians who wish to make political capital out of the great Jewish tragedy and want to be constantly on the band wagon. We need men who have shown their great interest in Jewish affairs in the past, and really feel deeply the sorrows of the Jewish people." In a public address at Boston, Kabbl Stephen S. Wise, formerly of Portland, took vehement exceptions to Mr. Schiff's statements. Lenten Days. O Sad, dear days of Lent! Now lengthen your gray hours: If so we may repent Before the time of flowers.
