SAYS CHURCH IS
REFUGE FOR LOST
Rev. A. u. BabbS Holds It
Gods Point of Contact
With World.

The church is Gods point of
contact with the world declared
Rev. A. V. Babbs, pastor of Stull
Memorial NJ. +. church, in his ser
mon yesterday morning, The Grow
ing Church" The church is warm
with sympathy for those who need
it, declared the pastor. 1t was a
sympathetic Christ that founded it,
and a sympathetic gospel is preach
ed in his name"
That the church is a refuge for
the lost, and that it grows because
of the divine vitality that it con-
tains. was also brought out by the
pastor. Everything which has
ceased to grow dies" he said. and
growth is characteristic of life. So
IL is with the church. The growth
of the church is also due to the
character of the gospel message. 1t
offers everything that the world does
not-bread TO the starving, drink
to the thirsty, the truth to those
who have been deceived, life ever
lasting in place OF the inconstant
and changing world.
The church is Gods temple
here on earth. Out of its windows
goes floating music that goes to the
most remote corners of the earth.
The gospel goes first, civilization
and righteousness follow"
The annual thank offering serN :
ice of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary society was held in the
evening. The pastor addressed the
meeting on the subject, The Three

GOOD CHRISTIAN
CAN 7 BREW BEER
Neither Can He be DiStiIIer or
SaIOonkeeper, Says Rev.
w. H. FreShIey.

The principles Of a good Chris
tian make it impossible for him TO
be a brewer. distiller. or saloon
keeper"
SO declared Rev. w. II. Freshley,
pastor OF First Evangelical church.
in his sermon Sunday morning on
Business and Religion" Rev Fresh
ley asserted that the evil resulting
from the businesses mentioned are
so great and so evident that a man
renodnces his Christianity by engage
ing in any of them.
~ Christian. he said need not
spend all his time in prayer. He can
be religious on the street as well as
in the prayer meeting, by simply be-
ing honest and charitable with those
with whom he comes in contact
Neither is it necessary to argue and
discuss religion everywhere and all
the time. Emerson says, What you
are speaks so loud l can't hear what
you say
Go Hand in Hand.
Religion and business can not be
divorced There is no conflict be
tween the ledger and the Bible, be-
tween the church and the counting
house. Jesus made a religion of his
business, a business Of his religion.
Paul was as good a Christian while
spreading nets as when preaching
the Gospel
Business is defined as what en-
cages cnes time, attention or labor
for longer or shorter time. Chris
tianity is the worship OF God. The
Christian is he who surrenders him
self 10 Christ definitely. Many who
have been baptized were not CHRIS
tians. The Pharisees put on the ont
ward appearance of religious men,
but were really the worst sinners.
Popular Saying is False.
The saying. The world owes
every man a living is false The
world does owe every man an OPP
portunity TO earn a living. Those who
have nO opportunity should blame
it on 10 social conditions, to the
weakness of man. rather than lay
it on TO God The Bible itself de-
clares that the best Christian Is tho
hardest working man."

Senator Ellison d. Smith Of South

The cases Of Orville Cook, Joseph Mel

who were taken into custody following
the assault and robbery of William
Noble. messenger for Chandlee & Chan
dIee, were continued in Police Court this
morning.
The continuance was TO permit the de-
tectives in the case more time to run
down evidence and additional clues in
connection with the spectacular hold-u2
Of Noble and the equally spectacular
arrest OF the three on the Baltimore
boulevard.
All three are charged with robbery.

j. S. CLERKS SEND
DATA SUPPORTING
PLEAFOR MORE PAY

Government clerks throughout the
country are concentrating their ef-
forts today in sending data to Wash
ington to show that no Federal en-
ploye should be paid less than SO a
day. In response to letters sent them
by H. NJ. McLarin, president of the
National Federation OF Federal En-
ployes, in which the resumption OF
the hearing on the Nolan minimum
wage bill was announced for Friday,
hundreds Of clerks organizations are
today briefing their claims in support
Of the bill.
The Nolan minimum wage bill in
wolves $40. ,000-more money than
is involved in any other pending bill
for increased wages for Government
employees. II provides that no en-
ploye OF the Government shall be paid
a wage of less than So a day, $50 a
month, or S1,OSO a year. The bill was
introduced by Congressman John ].
Nolan OF California. Hearings on the
bill were held before the House Labor
Committee during the last session Of
Congress. The hearings were defer
red on a point OF order, and are to be
resumed Friday.

TEACHERS TO GET
HIGHER PAY UNDER
100000 BUDGET

The minimum pay OF all public
school teachers in the District will
probably be raised from 5000 to $500
a year upon the recommendation Of
the District Commissioners, II was
learned today. Janitors and Iaborers
will also probably receive increases.
The Commissioners have decided to
go to Congress with an urgent de-
hciency estimate OF approximately
$500. 900. This is but one item in the
largest deficiency appropriation ever
recommended by the Commissioners.
The total, It Is said, will be in the
neighborhood of $1,000. 900.
Since the opening OF school 125
teachers have left the system. for po-
sltions paying more salary. School
officials have found II nearly impos-
sibel to flll vacancies. In view OF the
fact that the Government itself by
offering better pay, Is responsible for
the teacher shortage, 1t is not be-
lieved that Congress will think the
request unreasonable.

CONG. CRAGO ASKS
COURT AID TOHOLD
APARTMENT LEASE

Charging that the Fidelity Storage
Company had broken a lease with him
in order to rent an apartment in the
Farnsboro. Florida avenue and Deca-
tur place, at an exorbitant rental.
Congressman Thomas S. Crago Of
Pennsylvania today filed a petition
with the District Supreme Court ask
ing that the defendants be restrained
from ejecting him from the premises
on January 1.
The petitioner alleges that he
rented the premises year ago and
signed q lease for one year. and In
August notified the defendant,
through its agent, James L. Karrick,
who is made q party to the petition,
that he would like to have the apart
ment for the year 1918.
Congressman Crago alleged that he
was told the present lease would be
operative for the next year. and that
certain improvements were made on
the property at his request and with
the idea that he would be the occu-
pant in 1918.
About the frst of December he
claims he was notified by the defend
ant that he would have to vacate the
premises before January. 1918, as they
had been leased to another party. He
stated that the rental paid by him
was 800 monthly and charges that
the lease had been broken ''for the
sole purpose OF obtaining from some
other person an exorbitant rental,
the sum OF $500 monthly"
Congressman Crago is a member OF
the Military Affairs Committee Of
Congress and states that his presence
in Washington is necessary at this
time and asks that a permanent order
be issued restraining the Fidelity
storaRA- counapy from ejecting him.
