Remarkable Success
Miss Etheridge said last night
THE Washington Herald has done re-
markab" work in the matter of interest
ing government and District employees in
the benefits of ORGANIZATION.
TT seems reEretable. however that the
women in the Federal service have not
recognized the benefits of organization
to the point of affiliating with organized
bodies that are working for their in
terest.
mo great movement has ever been ac-
complished without organization: no
great movement has ever been accom-
pllshed with organization that has not
had cooperation. sympathy. and sup
port Of women. In this movement for
better wages almost as many women as
men are affected They should affiliate
and lend their material support to this
cause equally as much as the male en-
ploye. They have not done 1t. The union
movement Is not one that concerns men
particularly. 1t concerns women equal
ly as much. Its fundamental idea is
betterment of humanity. and that is a
cause that both men and women should
be equally concerned in advancing.
Let ME say this-that The Washing
ton Herald has advanced the cause of
the organized emplOye to an appreciablc
degree; and 1t can advance it further if
it cOnvinces the majority of the women
lar Of OF rict pI
government that their interests will ad-
vance and their working conditions will
be better in the same measure that they
affiliate with the organized bodies that
are striving for the common good and

theme of the discourse was The STU

In treating the text, Rev. Mr.. Har'

under a succession Of groupings:
First: Be we sayed-without God
men are lost. No matter who they
are. The sinner Is under condemna
tion Now. Salvation means to save a
man from the guilt Of sin; from the
power of sin; from he dominion OF
sin and from the terror Of death.
Second: All OF the ends of the
earth-wherever there r people the
plan OF salvation Is effective. It makes
no difference what station i'll life a
man way fill. Be he rich or poor, high
or low, pussiant or lacking in power,
he is subject to the influence Of the
gospel and a subject for salvation. Ii
he needs the words OF the text.
Third: Look unto Me-that is Jesus.

by doing something which is self

this will not stand. It vanishcs in the
