OLD READING MAHER
PUT INTO GOOD USES BY
CHURCH ORGANIZATION
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. OR)—T h e
Church Periodical Club, a unique co
operating agency of the Episcopal
Church, has prepared an appeal to
the General Convention of the
Church at New Orleans next Octo
ber for book3, magazines, pamph
lets, even newspapers—old and new,
and on every subject,—to carry on
the work which it voluntarily as
sumed 37 years ago.
This organization’s task is to keep
the mission workers of the church,
especially in the out-of-the-way places
of the world, supplied with reading
matter. Globe-trotting lady, enter
ing the hut of a missionary in one
of these waste places some years
ago, found him perched on a ladder,
his head bent back, scanning the
columns of an old newspaper which
had been pasted over a stovepipe
hole. It wa3 the only thing he had
to read. That was the inspiration for
the founding of the Church Periodi
cal Club.
In the intervening years its work
has extended to every part of the
world. It supplies not only Bibles,
prayer books and hymnal3, but sci
entific works, fiction, magazines, pic
ture cards and calendars, newspa
pers, games, sheet music and phono
graph records all. free. It maintains
a score of “traveling libraries” and
is practically the sole support of
half a dozen well-equipped permanent
libraries in various parts of the
world.
The particularly appealing feature
ot the club’s work is in supplying
reading material to those who are iso
lated in the far-off places.
The children of the missionaries
are not neglected, for to them are
sent the latest cvhildren’s books and
games.
During the past year 31,761 current
periodicals from 13,009 friends of
the club were sent to the workers,
all over the world; 2,188 Bibles
were distributed, 8,866 prayer books,
63,399 books of theological or secular
character were supplied to institu
tions or individuals; and 521,188 old
magazines and papers, 212,029 Christ
mas and Easter Cards, 33,052 pic
tures and games and 9,254 pieces of
music and records were put into
the hands of workers all over the
globe who otherwise would have had
little, if any, of these diverting agen
cies of civilization to beguile their
leisure hours.

Japanese To Study
American Politics
TOKIO, Aug. 19. (/P)—Leaders of
the three major political parties in
Japan, the Kenseikai, Eeiyukai and
Seiyuhonto, have decided to send to
the United States six parliamentar
ians for the purpose of studying Am
erican political practices. The dele
gation will attend the international
convention to he held in Washington
in October and will subsequently visit
other cities. It is hoped the parlia

situation in the Empire.
