was designed as the greatest Protest-
ant effort of all time is one of (he most
significant religious happenings of the
Hines. Various reasons have been assign
ed for the failure. The breakdown it is
pretty generally agreed was partly due
to the withdrawal of the Baptists and
Presbyterians but mainly to the failure
of friendly citzens to contribute $40-
000;000 for the expense fund of the
movement. Of the total amount of $336
772,572 which was asked only $176,-
000,000 was subscribed and the appeal
to the neutral citizens for the expense
fund brought in less than $3,000,000.
Though it was decided to continue the
campaign on a modest scale nothing
is more certain than that the big cam-
paign has come to an untimely end, The
big Greenhut building in New York,
which was rented for tenyears at a sunt
of $10,000,000 will be sub -let.
In regard to the failure of the move -
stent many opinions have been express-
ed. A writer in the Christian Herald
gives the following critical summary:
"The program was too large and in
some particulars overlapped activities
of other agencies thus giving rise at
considerable fraction.
"The time. allotted in which to make
the program effective was entirely too
short for such an ambitious undertak-
ing.
"The public at large and most
p church members were confused is to
' the real purposes of the organization.
Most of the official pronouncements of
the Movement were criticized as lack-
ing in simplicity in the statement of
its aims.
"Charges of extravagance. These
charges it can be safely said were un-
founded. The Movement to date has
spent a little more than eight million
semi a
u conoids to
dollars. 1f you r that
single
each Protestant church
e t o eao letter
member in the United States and to
each person who is a member of no
church would require the expenditure
of more than four million dollars the
cost to the interchurch of a campaign
to interest the nation in religion is
not excessive.
"The fear on the part of large groups
of persons in some of the denominat-
ions that the Interchurch was assuming
an overlordship and would eventually
seek to absorb certain of the denominat
ional activities.
"The first two reasons were posi-
tive handicaps to the work of the Move
went. The test three were negative and
psychogical, but none the less serious
impediments. Given more of time, it is
probable they could have been cleared
away, but time was lacking. Misrepres-
entation had done its work too welI."
In an address before the Internation
al Congregational Council Rev. Dr,
Charles R. Brown, Dean of the Yale
'School of Religion declared the move-
ment had become a night mare and had
left 11 dark brown taste in the mouth of
Protestant Christianity:
"We have sore need of getting away
from the tyranny of big things back
to the ultimate significance of the re-
generate pian wisely striving in his
particular station to do the. will 'of his
master. The interchurch World Move-
ment for example was a noble dream
which ought to have become true. It
did not as we all know now—it became
to a large extent a nightmare. This
was due mainly to the lack of wise
heads to accompany warm hearts fur-
nish more judicious plans and sounder
financial methods, We cannot get far on
the basis of a cold and wordly prudence
nor can we go far if we allow hollow
• enthusiasm to usurp the place or a-
tone for the lack of sound judgment.
„
'11 our recent unhappy experience
stood alone it (night not deserve re-
mark, But it is a symptom of a tenders
cy Which in any judgment has brought
hurt and loss to cur American Protest-
antisut. The melt and religion movement
the laymen's missionary movement, the
Interchurch World Movement and all
the rest have resulted in disappoint-
ment, They all accomplished a certain
amount of good. It would have been im
possible to invest the amount of Hine
and money and prayerful effort which
went into each one of them? without 52'•
complishing something, But they ail

Its possibilities fur good or evil as till
Interchurch World Movement, In an
editorial entitled. "The Fate of the Inter
church World Movement," in the Sun
and New York Herald the opinion of
the ordinary citizen is reflected.
"The failure of the Interchurch
World Movement which Is now admitt-
ed by its officers, was loresliadowed for
some time. The subscriptions necessary
to carry its ambitious programme into
effect could not be obtained from the
public. With astropg and foiceful body
of ?nen at the head of the organization
with an elaborate scheme of soliciting
with the good fill or thirty or so power
ful religious bodies to sustain it the
movement was nut able to overcome
the inertia of the public. •
"The nt.aspapers helped the move-
ment generously with approval and ad-
equate accounts of its purpose and its
methods. Every conceivable proper ad-
vantage was given to it. Whatever pub-
licity can do for a good cause was done
fur this but the vast sunt the American
public was asked to give was not coax-
ed tont the pockets of the people. A
great suns was raised a sum uhich
would have been regarded as enormous
before Liberty Loan investments and
war time funds made us think in bill-
ions. But it was not sufficient for the
work the Interchurch World Moement
had in contemplation.
"Under the circumstances the of-
ficers of the movement have done the
only honorable and sensible thing.
They have admitted the facts surveyed
the situation calmly and set about pay
ing the bills which have piled up. They
eight have deceived themselves about
the possibility of keeping the move-
ment alive in its orlgnal form. They
might have attempted to deceive oth-
ers. But they chose the honorable
course thoughh the decision they
reach-
ed
ed must have been a hard one to accept
Nobody enjoys confessing the collapse
of a cheris1ed plain and the Interchurch
Movement with its great possibilities
for good lay close to the hearts of the
men who sought to make it a success.
"Allsorts of theories will be advanced
yb those who must find a subtle and
hidden explanation of the failure of an
undertaking which started out under
the best of auspices and with every
promise of success, However the facts

Carrying 50 Tons of Water 12 Miles
A Feat that Used to be Performed by Every Farm Wife
The development of electric labor
saving machinery for the farm has
brought to light scene very interesting
figures. Take for instance the matter
of pnntlaitrg and carrying water.
Foe all household purposes snob as
drinking, mold ug, washing, set ribbing
and cleaning,the -average faun fatnil
will nee abt 1 gallons pee gallons
every day or 42 gallons for a Feunily of
aliens of L h ate` wet
six. Now 42 g v g
330 pounds and if those 12 gallons are
pumped and carried oe 05114' 300 days
out of the year it will m pan that some
One will have to pump and carry 100,-
800 pounds, or over 50 tone of water
every year. Fur(hermorva, if tL 8•gal-
ins Musket ie used it, will meat: 14 trips
to the well every day, turd IF Lite well
18 15 feet frau the house, this will
`near` 300or 420 feet daily, In only
800 days tide wilt amount to 120,000
feet or nearly 24 ranee,
So the farmer's wife who pumps and
carries water for the house walks 12
miles to the pump every year, pimps
50 tons of water and walks 12 utiles
back to the house carrying the 60 tons
of water.
The pnmping and carrying of water
is just one of the many tasks that elec-
taricity is taking from the shoulders of
Ute modern fltem wife. Little electric
light and power plants ere doing the
waehing, ironing, sweeping, churning
and separating as well as the pump-
ing, And of coarse in addition (.0
cheap, convenient electric pewee these
electric plants are Modelling an
abundance of blight, safe electric

Brightness, eafety, emrvenkrnee and

which

bore,
gineer, who has received many c'un-
plitneIts upon its design.
1 he "christening" took place in the
presence of quite an assembly of the
people of the neighborhood. In the
gathering also were Warden Petty,
County Clerk Holman, Reeve Hackett,
Ex -County Councillors Ford of Clin-
ton, and Connolly of Godericlt and the
county engineer, Mr. Patterson. After
a splendid supper prepared by Mrs.
Buckingham had been enjoyed ice
cream refreshments were furnished by
the contractor Mr. Thomas Sandy and it
is doubtful if anything was ever so
plentifully dealt out or so thoroughly
enjoyed.
After all had more than satisfied the
inner man, County Clerk Holman gave
a few congratulatory words in praise of
the engineer , the contractor and work-
men and called upon Warden Petty and
the other gentlemen named who all
spoke in terms of praise of teh beauti-
ful structure. Mr. Patterson in acknow
ledging the compliments showered up
on hint slated that the new bridge was
of a type which he hoped would be in-
troduced generally in the county.
.A bevy of pretty girls from the neigh
borhood assisted Mrs. Buckingham, and
they all deserve praise for the way
they served the refreshments and help-
ed to entertain the company.

he desired that the Liberals of Yar-

consulted his friends in Ottawa before
accepting appointment to the Privy

no reply from Nova Scotia he decided
