PASTOR ASKS CLERKS AID
Says It Is chureh's Duty to Help
In Flqht for Raise.

II is the duty Of the church to step in
and assist the Government clerks in
their fight for higher wages. according
to the Rev. d. H. Martin. pastor of Dunn
barton M. z. Church. Georgetown, who
delivered a sermon last night on condi-
lions In Washington and the high cost
Of living.
1T Is the duty Of the church." he con-
tinued. ito see that people are properly
fed, clothed, and housed. When Christ
was on earth. he cared for mems bodies
as well as their intellects and their
souls.
II have been criticised because / have
preached about mems wages. Some per-
sons think that churches and preachers
should not touch on the big, burning
issues that involve the temporal welfare
Of humanity. i believe II is the duty Of
the minister to speak on all questions
that affect the people. The church should
help the people to carry their burdens
and solve their problems"

Is "Mr. G." in the audience?

Is "Mr. c." in the audience?
II he is, please let him come for
ward and receive honors which the
inaugural committee would like to
give him.
Don't know who Mr.. C. is, Ell?
That's easy. He's the man who
contributed $3.50 to the inaugural
committee.
It's not unusual for a person to
donate that sum for Inauguration OK
penses, 1t is unusual, however, for
person to make such a contribution
and then withhold his name. In fact,
It never has been done before, so far
as the records of past inaugural COM
mittees show.
Chairman Arthur B. Peter, of the
finance committee, received the sum
yesterday, but it was the express and
distinct understanding that under no
circumstances should the identity of
the donor be made public. Mr.. Peter
won't even tell Chairman Harper who
gave the $3.50.
