MACMILLAN TO DELVE
INTO AMERICA’S EARLY
HISTORY IN FAR NORTH
CHICAGO, July 16. (JP)—When
Commander Donald 13. MacMillan left
on his Arctic expedition he offered
to wager that he again would not
see the whole coast of Labrador.
Only once in 17 years has MacMillan
been able to view its coast because
of the wall-like fog. On that one
occasion he saw it to be a line of
enormous, unfriendly rocks.
Battle Harbor, among the last of
the jumping off places, and where
is located a radio station with which
MacMillan hoped to do some experi
menting, is rock bound and has what
is called a “ticklish” entrance. It is
typical of the whole coast. There is
one store, a mission, a handful of
native fishermen and sailors and the
radio station.
From thence to Etah, Greenland, I
where MacMillan expects to base his
ships, the voyage is one of same

ness in view and routine but one
fraught with danger and demanding
great skill in maneuvering. If Etah
i3 reached somewhere about August
1, MacMillan will establish an ad
vance airplane base and radio sta
tion on Cape Thomas Hubbard, elev
en degrees from the North Pole,
and from the two points conduct his
explorations, photo and map work.
Beside the work to be done in the
Polar territory, MacMillan hopes to
shed more light on early North Am
erican history. The first chapter in
an American history generally says
that the Norsemen were the first to
visit this continent. Back of Disko
in Greenland are the ruins of 120
farm houses and 21 church, believed
to be a community established in one
of the expeditions during the time
of Eric the Red. On the Island of
Turnevik off the coast of Labrador
there are other ruins which may
once have been the homes of the
same race. MacMillan will com
pare his findings to determine if they
were of the same origin and were
the people which the Eskimos have
told him were exterminated in bat
tles with them centuries ago.
Beyond 66 degrees North Latitude
it is twilight or daylight thruout
the 24 hours at this season of the
year. Fogs are rare, visibility is ex
cellent, and with an altitude of about
10,000 feet, MacMillan expects ideal
mapping and photographic results.
On most days vision is limited only
by the horizon.

EPISCOPALIANS TOLD
CHURCH DEPENDS ON
ACTIVITIES OF LAITY
NEW YORK, July 16. (JP)—A se
vere arraignment oi' the laity of the
Episcopal Church for indifference to
their religious obligations is contain
ed in a report, made public, of the
Commission on Increased Lay Activ
ities, which will be submitted to the
Episcopal Triennial General Conven
tion at New Orleans October 7-23.
The report is signed by Burton Mans
field, corporation lawyer, of New Ha
ven; John Stewart Bryan, editor of
the Richmond (Va.) News-Leader;
Ira W. Stratton, former mayor of
Reading, Pa., and Willard Warner,
prominent churchman, of Chattanoo
go.
In the triennium now closing there
has been a failure on the part of the
church to meet the requirements of
the budget of $4,241,057 adopted at
the Portland convention in 1922, and
the financial problem of the ensuing
three years will be one of the seri
ous questions the New Orleans meet
ing will have to grapple with, the re
port points out, and adds;
“The adequate solution of the prob
lem of maintaining and increasing
the active and effective interest of
the laity in the work of the church
is essential to th econtinuance of the
life of the church itself.
“No Church, not even though it
were the admitted repository of the
pure faith once delivered to the
saints, can perpetuate itself beyond
a single generation except by the ac
cesstion of new members. No litur
gy, no matter how satisfying its ex
pression and no matter how com
pelling its appeal, can purify the
minds and lift up the hearts of those
who never hear its words. No dis
cipline, no matter how sound it may
be in psychology, nor how powerful
it may be in practice, can mould
the lives and strengthen the souls ot
those who do not come under its in
fluence.
“Without the enlistment of the ac
tive enthusiasm, without the release
of the spiritual zeal, and without the
employment of the missionary im
pulses of the laity, the church must,
inexorably live a maimed and halt
ing life.”
The committee points to the fact
that with the exception of the Broth
erhood ot St. Andrew, the Episcopal
Church has notably neglected the
field of lay activity.
"There can be no denial,” says the
report, "first, that the Episcopal
Church has not actively and inten
sively gone about the task of organi
zing and inspiring and applying the
energies of its laymen, as a whole,
for the work of the church as a
whole; and, second, that both by rea
son, by history and by unanswer
able examples of other communions
a vast source of beneficient energy
has been neglected alike for the en
richment of the spiritual life of the
individual layman that serves, and of
the corporate church that is so sup
ported.”
The report cites action by various
provinces and dioceses looking to or
ganized work among the laity, and
recommends to the General Conven
tion the consideration of a number
of suggestions which it outlines
whereby the interest of the laity in
the work of the church may be pro
moted.
