CHURCH UPHOLDS
CAUSE OF INFANTS
Child Welfare Crusade Interests
Church Throughout Country.
Meeting Tomorrow.

In connection with the meeting of the
American Association for the Study
and Prevention of Infant Mortality, a
November 1S, at the Church of Our Fa-
ther, 18th and L streets northwest at
8 O clock. The speakers will be DIR. Mary
Sherwood, Of Baltimore, on THE Com
munity and Infant Welfare;" DIR. Will
liam c. Woodward. of Washington, and
DR.. j. H. Mason Knox, of Johns Hop
kins, on THE Claims OF the Baby" The
purpose of the Sunday afternoon meet
ing will be to show what the associa-
ton stands for; to point out the respon-
sibility of the entire community for
the welfare of its baby citizens, and to
suggest means by which everybody can
help in the campaign which has now
become worldwide for the reduction of
infant mortality.
In this connection It is interesting to
know that a number of churches
throughout the country are including
baby saving work, and all that it means
in the way OF social welfare, as a part
of their social service work. The Bible
class of one of the churches in ST. Louis
pays the salary of a nurse who devotes
her whole time to work of this sort.
The social service department of an
other church In st. Louis pays the sal
'ary of a nurse, whose whole time is
given to following up the little patients,
who are cared for at one of the chill
dren's hospitals. The Women's Guild
of one of the churches in Baltimore
supports a nurse, whose whole time is
given to the nursing care of the sick
mothers and babies in a factory dis
trict. These are a few illustrations of
ing part in this big crusade in behalf of
the ba bies

Faith has been defined in various ways, and volumes
have been written the subject sufficient to stock IL
brary but perhaps the most unique conception of its mean
ing was given by the child who said that Faith beev
ing something which you knew not true
Now the pity of it is that such a msconcepton has
entered into the minds of thousands either in form
another because they have confounded two very dssmar
things-Faith and Creduity.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evil
Gence of things seen while creduity readiness to
believe anything, no matter how slight the evidence may
be-tae mark of feeble mind
The petition of the man who prayed, 'Oh, God, if
there be God, my SOUL if have Soul

view was obStruced by high hl and having heard her
minister say that if she had faith even as grain of mus
ard seed mountains could be moved she added to her
evening prayer the request that the obnoxious hill be taken
from her sight On awakening in the morning. she looked
from her window, then sank back upon the pillows with
SIGH saying 81 knew it would be there lust the same"
True Faith is at the beginning of every journey is
in the heart of every day aborer and mechanc it is in the

Whether it be the expectancy of the in the trench
that he will receive his wages Saturday night the
confidence which one trader has with another and by which
millions of dollars change hands daily at the bottom they
both rest on faith
Take faith away, try and substitute something else
for it, and every wheel stops and every channel drys up
1t is the unmaeriasc made into actual working plan
for the peoples of the world.
In order to act we must believe and in accordance will
be our Deeds We must believe that do things be-
fore are able to do them. Without faith will not try
to accomplish and consequently will accomplish nothing
and cannot succeed.
The Church is of the great moral factors in any
community 1t is great not because it is perfect for the
that is only perfect you and the other me
bers of this community deserve to have and help to make
it. The spring cannot rise higher than its source, and
chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

FAITH
WITHOUT WORKS 1T is A DEAD ISSUE

Written for The Washington Times by Henry Longcope.
Show man without faith and will show you
whose suspicious among his thoughts, which are like
bats among birds, they ever fly by twilight"
Without faith the heart is full of jealousy, mSrus
and doubt With wellfounded faith in ones self is
guided to faith in mankind.
Without faith the national banknote in your purse
would have value than any other scrap of paper
Faith in the stability of the Government makes valuable
Faith is the basis of commerce. our industries and
social relations. The mariner has faith in his compass,
his chronometer and his sextant He has faith that the
great sun will come on the through ninety five mil
lions of miles of space to help him locate his position the
face of the waters He has faith that that luminous center
OF eternal truth will never lie.
Our social relations would have no more vitality than
fOo3one in moudy graveyard were not for the faith
which born in love and Graded in the of hope.
Credit is nothing than the reliance the truth
