r mocrats Leading I n Elections Deciding Congressional Majority.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3— (UP)— Democrats and Republicans alike found encouragement for next year's president ial contest in congressional election results tonight which may determine thc majority In the next House of Representatives.
Late tonight ' the Democratic candidate was ahead in the special election In the Michigan district long held by Joseph Fordne.v of Republican tariff fame: the Republican candidate was leading in the traditional Republican district of the late speaker Nicholas Longworth.
Foss O. Eldred congratulated the Democrat on hla “victory" at 9:30 p.m. The diatr‘.«t i**.- been represented In congress ky a Republican for over 30 years.
Three other eongroiflional vacancies were placed before thc electorate. In the seventh New York district in Brooklyn a Democrat John J. JJelaney, w as elect* I ed a* anticipated. A Democrat was expected to be elected In the i 2oth Ohio district, and a Republican In the second Philadelphia dialrict waa virtually certain of election.
The House of Representatives lineup, lf the Democrat wins in Michigan, and in the 20th Ohio I and seventh New York districts, and lf the Republicans win the I Cincinnati diltrict, will be: Democrats, 217; Republicans, 215; Farmer-Labor, 1. j This leaves two vacancies, in New Jersey and New Hampshire. The New Jersey vacancy ls to be tilled in a special election Dec. 1 The New Hampshire olec-tion under the law cannot be hold until January 5, after the organization of the house Is completed.
Many here believed that even if the Democrat* do not have Bn actual majority in the houso, western independent Republicans will be likely lo throw victory to the Democrats by voting for a candidate ot their own for the speakership. But the two contests In Ohio and Michigan nevertheless involved the numerical majority ot the house.

That the church, as a social Institution, lias an opportunity to assume a place of leadership In developing wholesome and character-building types ot recreational activities ls the central theme oi' the article ‘‘Tlie Church and Recreation’’ by Martin H. Neumeyer, professor of sociology at S.C., which ls printed in the Oct. 15 Issue of tlie ChrUtlan Advocate.
Professor Neumeyer further atated: “church-centered recreation is a relatively recent movement, but has far-reaching significance. Recreation activities without adequate leadership may not only be wasteful, but positively harmful. The primary function of recreational activities is not to use them as a bait for church membership, but to develop strong Christian peraonalities and whole aome social relations."
