CHURCH EDUCATIONAL
MOVEMENT TAKES FORM
Permanent Organization VIII BE Per
fected at Luncheon Meeting Next
Monday Afternoon.

The church and religion educational
campaign movement inaugurated ten
days ago at a meeting Of the repre-
sentatives of thirty-three Richmond
churches was given impetus yester-
day afternoon at a meeting in the
rooms Of the Business Mems Club OF
the committee of twenty-five. The
committee was addressed by DR.. Doug
las Freeman, who presented an analy-
sis Of publicity for the church and
the churches and outlined briefly a
general plan for carrying on an educa-
tional campaign such as Is contem-
plated.
The use of the columns of the news
papers and other mediums for getting
before the public the reasons for
church attendance and church work
was discussed and emphasis was
placed on the need for a larger realiza-
ton that the church should be more
a place Of worship. DR.. Freeman ex-
pressed the belief that the churches
should be open more so that persons
during the day. feeling the need for
spiritual rest and inspiration and the
desire to closet themselves In silent
worship within them, may enjoy a
privilege now denied by the fact that
a church is open but q few hours each
week. and then for services.
Church Place of Worship.
DR.. Freeman insisted that the
churchgoer should go to church to
worship rather than to attend SER
vices. He deplored the fact that the
ministers of churches themselves often
fall to take advantage Of the columns
of the newspapers to tell people why
they should attend church and help
Christianity forward. He said that
the campaign should be laid down
along broad lines and that 1t should
as well as for the people.
Following his address DR.. J. 8.
HorsleY, a member OF the committee.
moved that Temporary Chairman w.
s. Rhoads, who presided, name a COM
mittee of three to present nominations
for officers for permanent organtZa-
ton. n. D. Sills moved the appoint
ment of q committee Of three to out
line the policy of the organization and
it's work in the campaign. Both mo-
tons carried.

INTENDED BLACKLIST
OVERSIGHT MARK

Newport News, Va, Oct s.-The
story of over-zealous British Official
whose Interference came near causing
serious Inconvenience Is reported by
Captain r r. CLrtiss. Of the Ameri-
can, Hawaiian Line freighter Arboren,
which arrived here in ballast Saturday
from Valparaiso, Chile, via Whining
ton. N. c. The Interference OF the
official resulted in the Arborean being.
in a manner black listed" but as
later events showed. the "blacklisted"
was OF real benefit.
The Arborean put into Valparaiso
on September IL. with a cargo OF coal
from Newport News for the Chilean
Government. AS 1t happened. the ves-
sci was consigned to a German Arm
Of shipping agents-Voerwert and
Company.
Upon the arrival of the Arborean in
Valparaiso, W. r. Grace and Com
pany. an American firm which con-
trolls the mooring buoys was advised
by the resident British consul that 1t
would not be advisable to allow the
Arborean to use the buoys to anchor.
Grace and Company were guided by
this advice. Captain Curtiss states,
and the Arborean faced the problem
of securing mooring facilities
Officials Of the Chilean Government
Immediately got behind the matter,
and with the cooperation of Captain
Curtiss. procured anchors and chains
to secure the Arborean, and immedi
ately began running their lighters
al on gside OF tho American.
The upshot Of the matter was the
Arborean finished discharging $500
tons OF coal in the record breaking
time OF three days, instead OF the
eight days az provided in the charter.
Tho Aborean entered dry dock at
the ship yard shortly after her arriv-
al here, preparatory to being turned
over to Norwegian firm by whom
she has been purchased.
