Little Junior Green of Rochester
Receives ScaIdIng.
Baby Pulls Stopper From Wash
ing Machine.
URGES LIBERALITY.
Chaplain Silver Scores Indiffer-
ence to Missien Cause.
Makes Plain Talk at Church of
Good Shepherd.

Junior Green, the 1-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard A. Green OF
Rochester, was badly scalded on the
! left thigh and lower limb about
o'clock this morning when the baby
| pulled the stopper from washing ma
at their home. DR.. Robert Stewart,
who was Immediately called, said this
afternoon that he thought that the
burns, while serious. were not very
! deep.
1t appears that Mrs. Green had ia
ken every precaution against such an
accident and had taken especial
pains to fasten the stopper securely,
| but the little fellow slipped from be-
1 hind her and with quick jerk pulled
the stopper out. The stream of water
ran down his left thigh and limb.
The mother showed presence of mind
and in a situation which would have
/ completely unnerved the majority or
people, with the help of nelghbors who
were called she skillfully gave the baby
temporary treatment until the doctor
arrived.
The child was resting easy this af-
ternoon. The father is superintendent
of the Rochester cemetery.
IF people treated God as decently as
they do their fellow men the world
would soon be converted.
Money alone, without the spirit be
hind it, is the most miserable contribu-
ton to Gods service.
IF each member of this congregation
would pledge themselves to give even
a cent a week to foreign missions that
would amount to considerable within
year
"A man working for the mission
cause told me that if he would ask
IS for mission funds from a business
man he might get kicked out of his
office. However, if he was asked to
pledge himself to give ten cents week
fa "a hp HhGRTflIllV.
although ten cents each week would
amount to more than five. dollars Witt
in year"
This church is not a spiritual loaf
ing place or social club. 1t is work
shop for God
What we need is not so much mon
ey as converted energy. There are $780,
900 members of the Episcopal church IN
the United States, but what are they
doing to bring the world to Christ?
These statements were made by Chap
lain II. Percy Silver at the Church OF
the Good Shepherd last night He
urged more Hberality in donations and
spirit for the mission cause. He ad-
vocated that all church people get away
from the idea that their interests
should center only in their parish ana
Impressed upon them that. they, were
all members of the great church OF t1e
world, that their mission was to DO
their part in the salvation OF MANKIND
in general.
Miss LueIIa Thompson. who is taking
vocal lessons, sang Jerome's "Shep-
herd Divine I Come" She has voice
of remarkable sweetness and power.
