The Rev. Or. George ". Grinton, pas
tor Of the Fordham Methodist Episco-
pa Church. Marion avenue and Fordham
Road, The Bronx. preached a sermon
last night on the unemployed.
Il grow sick and disguised" he said,
with few so-called Christians who
think the minister's only business IS TO
keep them sweet and happy. The Church
IS not a good thing TO be worked by the
lazy and idle classes
AS a matter Of fact. from careful
study Of the situation. it is only about
one man out Of "A hundred who desires
10 help himself The other ninety and
nine are too lazy to help themselves. II
is a piece Of impertinence for hungry
man to dictate terms and say union
wages and union hours or no work"
