CONGRESS HEIGHTS AFFAIRS.
Matters Brought to Attention of Citi-
zens' Association.

At meeting of the Congress Heights
Citizens Association last night the ques-'
ton of obtaining sewerage facilities re-
ceived attention. Mr.. Bender submitted
the final report of the committee deal
ing with this matter, saying there ap-
peared to be nothing further to do ex-
cept to go before Congress and ask that
funds be appropriated with which to ac-
quire the necessary ground for an outlet to
the trunk sewer between the town and the
river. Mr.. Bender declared he was satisfied
as to the Willingness OF the Commissioners
of the District to order the construction of
the sewers in Congress Heights could an
outlet be secured to the rive. This. he
said, seemed impossible at this time, the
owners of the various parcels of land
through which the sewer would be installed
had declined to dedicate any ground as re-
quired by tie law on the subject, while the
association WAS not in a position to pur-
chase the land and present ii to the Dis
trict. The matter was discussed by Mcssrs
Edward J. Newcomb, Carl Wahler, Milton
J. FilliUs and NJ. Emmons, the president of
the association. Mr.. Waller thought The
association SHOULD advocate some other
route for the proposed sewer Mr.. Bender
submitted maps from the District building,
which indicated the route to be along
Philadelphia street, south on Nichols ave-
nue., through Brothers place and along
Raleigh street to the trunk sewer now being
built near the river shore.
1t was decided to continue the committee
having the matter in charge and to fill
vacancy on the committee, Mr.. Robert
Cowen being appointed. Mr.. Emmons en-
tered a protest against the street serv-
ice afforded the residents OF Congress
Heights. and said the cars in operation We're
of an antiquated pattern and constantly in
need of repairs. 1t was decided that Mr..
p. j. Walsh. the chairman of the street
railway committee, should confer with the
officials of the road regarding the condi-
ton complained of.
The secretary read resolution passed by
the Columbia Heights Citizens Association
relative to building lines throughout the
District, but no action was taken thereon.
Mr. Cowen spoke of the deplorable condition
of Wheeler road, and declared the material
being used in making repairs was not of
the kind ordinarily used in such work. The
secretary was directed TO report the condi-
ton of the road to the Commissioners.
In speaking of the development of the
community. President Emmons referred to
the fact that Congress Heights has a popu-
intention of the association to invite num-
dress the citizens during the coming season,
and it was agreed to begin this program at
the next meeting. 1t was reported that Mr..
Victor Boyer, one of the vice presidents of
the association, i'll at his residence on
Hamilton road.
Favorable comment was aroused over the
fact that an item of $1,000 has been in
serted in the estimates of the Commission
ers of the District for the matchmaking OF
Livingston road from Congress Heights to
the District line.

Vessels Damaged by Storm.

The three-masted bugeye-shaped schooner
Edna A. Pogue, frequent visitor to this
port, was one of the sufferers in the hur-
ricane a day or two ago off the Virginia
coast. She was taken into Hampton roads
from outside the capes with her masts
broken. The Pogue will repair before pro-
ceeding her trip to Philadelphia.
The schooner John A. Curtis, a trader to
this city, was another sufferer in the storm
of Saturday night. She was going down
Chesa peake bay when the gale caught her
and blew away her mainsail and for a
time it seemed as if the schooner would be
lost
1t is stated that the damage done the
schooner William Fl. Skinner of Baltimore,
which was reported lying in Point Look
out cove leaking badly as the result of
storm at sea, was not extensive as first
stated, and she will sail for her destna-
ton, New York, as soon as the weather
will permit

AMONG THE CHURCHES.

At the Presbyterian church last Sun
day morning the pastor preached on
the text, "ln understanding be men"
/ Cor. 1920. The r. V. has it, "In
mind be men," The subject derived
from this text was, "The Character
istics Of the Man Of Understanding.
The child is commended for its humili.
ty. faith and love. and in these essen
tials we are to be as children, but in
our understanding we are TO be men.
The book Of Proverbs tells US more
about the characteristics of the man
of understanding than any other por-
ton of the Bible. /. The man of
understanding shall attain wise coun-
sells. 2. The man of understanding
hath wisdom. 3. The man Of under
standing holdeth his peace. 4. The
man Of understanding walketh upright
ly. 5. The man Of understanding
hath an excellent spirit. 6. By the
man Of understanding the state is pro-
longed. These are the essential ele-
ments OF the character Of the man OF
understanding. To be in mind men.
We must become like the greatest Of
all men, Christ Jesus.

Services were held as usual last Sun

reached an important crisis in her
march to the promised land, and not.

as Caleb and Joshua the people turned
back from following after God. The
lesson to be learned. /. God never
destroys mans free moral agency in
this life. 2. When church or state
comes to crisis God has always had
a man like Caleb to command His
army. or a man like Luther TO stand
before the Diet Of Worms. Our view
point means much as to how we shall
give orders to the army. or as to how
we shall stand before the trials Of our
faith, We need to spy the land and
see all the difficulties to be overcome.
