inaugurated by the 1916 Congress on
Christian Churches in Latin Ameri
ca, which met in Panama.
As outlined by Samuel Guy In
man, secretary of the committee and
instructor in Pan-American Relations
at Columbia University, the program
will follow 12 general themes; Un
occupied fttlds, the Indians of South
America, education, evangelism, so
I cial movements in South America,
! health ministry, the church in the
i community, religious education, lit
1 erature, missionary relationships, spe
I cial religious problems, cooperation
i and unity.
“It has seemed best to divide the
field into two parts,” Mr. Inman said,
! “South America and northern Latin
| America, and to hold two congresses
! for this purpose. The first congress,
| for all South America, is now to be
held at Montevideo.
“The great changes in Latin Am
i erica since 1916 have brought many
I ney problems as well as new oppor
i tunities. Readjustments are needed
.! everywhere. The nations have grown
stronger economically and politically.
. i New social movements have arisen
which mark a new interest by the
i j common people in the development
, o‘ their countries. In no part oi the
. world are more remarkable transfor
• i mat ions taking place than today in
I South America.”
j The “great challenging reason” for
; the impending congress .at Monte*

m LONDON’S NOTED
GOTHIC MASTERPIECE
LONDON, March 3.—Big Ben, the
famous clock of the Houses of Par
liament became clogged with soot and
dirt recently and ceased its ticking
altogether. This suggested to His
Magcn y’s office of works that some
thing must be done in the near future
to prevent the building itself from en
tirely changing its architectural fea
tures, because of decay.
The British Houses of Parliament
are considered one of the finest speci
mens of Gothic architecture in tin
world, and strenuous efforts are under
consideration to prevent their famous
pinnacles from further crumbling
away. Many already have disappeared
and a general scheme of restoration
may be resorted to for the purpose of
preserving the symmetry of the exte
rior of the famous building. On sonn
sides about half the pinnacles have
either fallen, or been removed from
time to time as a measure of safety.
Owing to decay of the stone fea
tures, many of the gargoyle figures
have lost their noses and some of the
figure-heads, battered by tlie winds
and rains and soot, have taken on a
semblance of skulls and eery crea
tures. In many places the very stone
work has begun to flake, and near the
porch over the Peers’ entrance to the
House of Lords it has become so brit
tle that it is possible to scrape it wim
a finger nail. High up on the ma ~ iv*
Vicotria tower many of the figures
in the niches have lost fingers, ami
here and elsewhere what were ori
ginally beautifully carved crowns
have become little more than shape
less blots of masonry.
Sir Frank Baines, chief architect of
His Magesty’s Office of Works, has
be "ii engaged some time on a report
of tiie question of arresting the dete -
rioration.
“It is not a problem of >ul silence,
j as in the case of St. Paul’s < athedval.”
Sir Frank explained recently. “The
foundations on which the Houses of
Parliament are built are safe, and th
structure itself is perfectly sound. It
is simply a matter of decay of the *• x
ternal stone work.
“Almost from the time the Hous> <
of Parliament were built, 1S40-1S52.
the process of external decay became
manifest, the soft stone crumbling
owing to the action of the soot a; d
sulphur in the London atmosphere.
