leaders of the Episcopal
Church,, hack home after the epoch
making fienoral Convention of the
Church ut Detroit, buvo plunged Into
the tank of tthaping Into reality (he
Impressive policies for which founda
tion wan laid there, und which Include:
1. The move toward a uniou of
ctourches, to which the Episcopal
Church committed itself hy steps for
an amendment to its Constitution that
wiii permit in three yeant the Npis
copal ordination of Congregational
clergymen, at* well as aimilar agree
ment with other denominations
2. The complete reorganisation of
the Church, through creation of an
executive council to suppluut all exlstv
ing official boards of the General Con
vention.
3. The establishment of the Na
tional Church 1-eugue for Social aud
Industrial Democracy, to fight (or so
cial and economic principle!* on a
Christian basis.
All these tilings ? the broadening of
the Churcu's scope and function* ? are
expected to be made possible through
the success of its Natlon-Wide Cam
paign of spiritual awakeulng and
greater practical service. This cam
paign, designed to extend the Church's
influence along social, educational and
spiritual lines at home and abroad,
has been described by leader* of the .
Church aa "the greatest missionary
adventure in the history of the com
munion, an adventure that should help
mightily to unable the Church to re
cover its Apostolic torch of leadership
freed from the control of the stand
pat influences that have for so long
muffled its proclamation of Christian
fundamentals."
"The genius of the Nation-Wide
Campaign is not the money-raising
end of it," said Dr. Robert W. Pat
ton, national campaign director, who is
touring the South. "It is a very mod
est financial goal, that of probably
lew than $50,000,000 for the richest
Church of Protestantism In America.
The big thing is the campaigns
avowed determination to reach every
individual community of the Church
to discover just what his religion
means to hlin, and what he is willing
to sacrifice for it. It Intends to trans
form every paper communicant' Into
a real Churchman aflame with the
old xeal for the ^ipread of Christian
fundamentals.
"We raiust organise the world along
unaHflfh Line*, or the selfish interests
of civilisation will organlte It along -
selfish llnee."
Episcopal leaders are pointing to
the proposed concordat with the Con
gregational Church ? the old Church
of the Puritans ? as a historic event
in religious annals, aa it brings into
close unity of effort two great forces
in the rational life that were as far
apart religiously and eoclally as the
pole* throughout colonial history and
down to and Including the War He
tween the States ? the Puritan of New
England and the "Anglican Cavalier"
of the South. ? ? ? ?

EARLY HISTORY OF COFFEE I
Tradition* Differ, but the Beverage j
Haa Been Appreciated for Many
Hundred# of Vaara.

Vpdli his ret in n to Mohka, bo brought
his discovery to tho attention of ,
"the wise ihii ii," who were xo well
pleased therewith that they pro
claimed iladjl Omar a saint.
In the Hihliotheque National" a!
I'ii tlx there Is a manuscript written
In Arable by one Abdelcudor, who
livers that coffee was drunk for thi?
first time in Arabia In tin* fifteenth
eontury, Other authorities have It
(hut cofi'ce was u*cd In Persia us earl)
as tho ninth century, hut there Is lit
tie evidence to hour out their conton

Abdelcader's story of tin* discovery
of coffee Ik as follows; A certain
Arab, ft entailed III, a Judgu fn Aden,
while traveling Peraia-r-or, as the
historians correct the 'manuscript, to
Abyssinia- ? observed people usInK cof*
fee as medicine. Oemalledln so em
ployed It, And was cured of an Illness.
Later, on becoming a monk, he taught
his brethren in Aden tho use of the
berry. '
No opposition to the use of coffee
appears to have been offered until the
twiddle of the sixteenth century, when
the Egyptian sultan sent a new gov
ernor. Chair Hoy, to Mecca. The gov
ernor knew nothing of the beverage
and became greatly enraged at the
sight of the dervlahes drinking coffee
In tho mosques. Upon consulting with
two Persian physicians ho decided
that coffee was a substitute for wine,
which was prohibited by the Koran
and that, therefore, coffee drinking
was a violation of Mohammed's law.
The result was a decree forbidding
the tise of coffee. All berries that
could be found were gathered and
burned in the market place. When
Chair Hey reported bis action tt> the
sultan, it is said that he received this
written reply:
"Your physicians are asses. Our
lawyers and physicians In Cairo arc
better Informed. They recommend
the use of coffee, and I declare that
no faithful will lose heaven because
he drinks coffee."
Abyssiniana Claim Recognition.
A delegation from Abysslni^ bearing
rich gifts of ivory and silks for the an
nounced purpose of congratulating
France on her recent victory, appeared
at the peace conference In Paris. This
V* In strict accordance' with the ancient
oriental procedure. The real purpose
of a visit Is not disclosed until pre
liminary ceremonies are concluded.
These native Africans ? whose rulers
claim descent from Solomon and the
queen of Shebu ? wished to be In on
the carving up of the world, for they
jhnve interests which seem vital to
them, although little known to the rest
of the world. Seated Iti that natural
bnstlon of Africa, the Abysslnlans h#ve
lived in greater or less security for
unknown centuries. They are not ne
groes. but a mixture of Ilamltlc ami
Semitic races, with a culture of their
own and -professing the Christian re
ligion. being a branch of the Coptic
church of Kgypt. i'ntU- recently lUe.v
have been unmolested save by native
tribes.
"Five Shillings and Upward."
* Among tiie many "lots" of tremen
dous Interest disposed of at the recent
much-discussed sale of the Medici
archives In London, none surely were
more interesting than the ledgers, ac
counthooks and memoranda of various
members of the Medici family as bank
ers and merchant which were dis
posed of en bloc. What a field for
some twentieth century Oarlylean
transmuter of the dry-as-dust into
vivid story! All the tnle of Florentine
trade, finance, rates of wages, taxes,
prices of laud, live stock and produce
Is there, to say nothing of the revela
tion made of what the Florentine paid
for his things of gold and things nf
silver, his Jewelry and ornaments.
Whether or not the sale "was n success
from the point of view of Its promot
ers does not transpire, but it is a ter
rible thing, surely, to read of any of
the contents <frf the Medici archives be
ing "knocked down." as they were, for
"fis. sitnl upward."
