Committee Collections
Not For the Poor.

Replies to the statement of Will
liam Dudley Foulke that ministers pay
attention to the alleviation of the poor
before they worship God in the reyiv-
al tabernacle, were made in Richmond
churches yesterday by pastors, who
pointed out what they regarded the

the Rev S. r. Lyons, in which he held
that benevolences would increase af-

Associated Charities, said today that
no church, as an organization, had con

charity" the Rev. Arthur Gates told
members of Grace NJ. L. church in
his discourse yesterday.
The Rev. B. Earle Parker, pastor of
the First M. E. church. said today he
heartily approved of the suggestion
that the churches of the city should
assist in the movement of raising the
funds for the Associated charities, and
said that at the next meeting of the
Ministerial Association he would urge
that all churches in the association
set aside a Sunday on which cOlleC-

thing the churches as organizations
should also aid in this work as much
as the lodges do" the Rev Parker
said.
Mrs. Mather, treasurer of the Asso-
ciated Charities said today: The
Ladies' Aid society of the East Main
street Friends church has made a con
tribution, but no church organization
