A church, heavily mortgaged, and

called 10 the pastorate a minister who
was known to have been successful in
lifting church debts. Entering upon
the new work the minister first look

found that very little had been given

pie you wish to have the debt lifted
from this church. We will begin by
taking an offering for missions Hav-
ing klndled the missionary spirit, he
quickly succeeded In removing the

Mann Discovers Bill
In House Bears Name
OForn,er Congressman

The watchful minority leader, Mr..
Mann, has discovered that bill
In the new House bears the
name of former Congressman
Crago Of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Crago left Congress March 4
and Mr.. Mann was curious to
know why proposed legislation
should still bear his name.
The Speaker explained that some
other member probably reintro.
duced the bill offered last year
by Mr.. Crago and that the new
member forgot to scratch out
the words "By Mr.. Crsgo." The
Journal and Record was cor.
rected.
Congressman Willis also discOv.
cred that the Record credited
Congressman AshbroOk with
two bills which the former has
put in the hopper. This mis-.
take, too, was corrected, but the
new House Acknowledges that
errors will occur in the best
regulated legislative bodies.

disapproval. and 1t was vigorously
fought by the clerks and practically
every interest in Washington, the
business houses taking up the cudgels.
They opposed q later closing. The
President made a statement in which
he said that he did not mind whether
the extra time should be made up by

AppIauds Enthusiastically When
Batting Rally in Seventh
Brings Climbers Victory.

Wind, weather. and press of duties
permitting. President Wilson is be-
lieved likely to be a frequent attend
ant at the American League baseball
park in Washington. The belief is
based on the interest shown by the
President in the first game of the
season and his applause when the
bird of victory which had shown it
self exceedingly coy, finally decided to
perch on the shoulders of the Ma
tionals.
President Wilson at one point in the

thusiaspi. Official dignity prevented
his yelling. cheer rose up in his
throat, but did not pass his lips. He
could and did applaud frantically,
however, by clapping his hands.

in the box, was in a hurry to get his

was to walk across the chairs. Spry-
lv and with agility, Vice President
Marshall hoped to his place and then
sat impatient until the game began.
