RECTOR GIVES WARNING
TO YOUNG CLERGYMEN
The Rev. DR.. Steele Cautions
Against OverinduIgence in
Social Activities

Ministerial aid and pensions to clergymen
are deplored by the Rev. Or, David NJ. Steele,
rector Of the Protestant Episcopal Church OF
st. Luke and the Epiphany, in his Christmas
book entitled Addresses and Sermons to
Students
Warning to young clergymen Of the perils
of becoming absorbed in social activities is
also given in the book,w h!ch was distributed
among doctor steeIe's parishioners.
In touching on the question Of ministerial
aid. Doctor Steele said. among other things:
Pensions begin at the wrong end. Or rather,
the system Is all wrong.
Il was asked the other day to particl-
pate to the extent OF $40, 900 in raising in
this diocese alone 81, 900, 900 to be part of
a general $4,000. 900 fund to take care Of
the clergy after they have spent their lives
failing to prove able to take care Of them
selves. I not from the records OF that same
parish that the annual offering, on "All
Saints Day" for education Of the ministry
was $40. | suspect this Is about the aver
age conception Of the relative Importance of
two duties. II you will give me So. 900, 900
10 educate the clergy Of this church, l will
undertake to pension them with fifty cents.
1t is only because we are educating a fifty
cent ministry that the laity Is anxious to
fellfe tnen as early as possible ana nave
need then to pension them up to their death.
II lamen the whole practice of minis
terial aid, clerical discounts, sustentation
funds and pension systems, since they begin
absolutely at the wrong end. There ought
10 be no need for perquisites to men rightly
qualified and well-equipped. And this Is
for a simple reason: A man rightly equipped
for the ministry ought TO be able TO go out
into the community and make his own par
ish. II he cannot do this, you may set him
down az utterly incompetent to run one
that IL ready-made. II he is able to do the
former, you need not worry over the ques-
ton OF his support, II he is not, you ought
not to be willing to grant him support"
Commenting on the question of Ministerial
social activities. he said:
There are those who leave the word
Of God to serve tables. They are preachers
who do every thing but preach. Instead Of
depending on preaching. they depend on So
clables, fairs, mag!c-lantern entertainments,
charitable enterprises and ph.lanthropic
work.
Discussing the reason "for so many failures
Of men In the ministry" Doctor Steele urges
a class divinity students to stop before
they begin II they have any dislike for real
pastoral work.
Better find another job and go TO work"
he writes. Run dispensarles, superintend
charity organization societies, engineer bowl.

TRAINING MECHANICS
FOR AVIATION SECTION
Enlisted Men of American Navy
Eligible to Enter High
Class Schools

Importance of training mechanics for the
aviation section OF the navy and the future
offered enlisted men in that branch of serv-
ice were pointed out today by Lieutenant
Commander Charles Il. Lucke, director OF
aviation training Of the United States navy.
Shortly after the United States entered the
war Commander Lucke. who is head OF the
chemical engineering department at Column
bia University, organized schools to train
mechanics for the aviation branch of the
navy. Courses OF study were planned, text
books prepared and schools TO accommodate
1000 students were opened at Columbia Uni
versity, the naval aircraft factory, League
Island Navy Yard, Philadelphia aero marine
factory, Keeport, N. J.. the aviation train
ing stations at Pensacola, Fla, San Diego,
Cal, and Hampton Roads, Va. DuRnwoodie
Institute, Minneapolis Packard Motor Car
Company, Detroit, and at the Great Lakes
naval training station. Thirteen hundred
instructors were chiefly college professors
and engineers.
The schools proved so successful that the
Navy Department decided to establish n per-
manent school at the Great Lakes training
station.
Commander Lucke, accompanied by Lieu
tenant #. l.. Mason. Lieutenant Montgomery
Maze and Lieutenant G. b, Reemelin, in
spected the school at League Island prepara-
tory to moving It TO the Great Lakes naval
training station.
THE aviation section OF the navy needs
mechanics more than ever before" said Com
mander Lucke today, land a future Is as
sured 70 the man entering that branch OF
service"
Commander Lucke and his assistants are
planning ~ turn the school over 70 the reeu-
lar naval aviation onapers.

VELVET LADY" MOVES
SMOOTHLY TO SUCCESS
Musical Comedy Adapted From
Farce Wins Friends at Its
Forrest Premiere

AS n musical comedy It must be said that
The Velvet Lady" which had it's premiere
on the stage of the Forrest Theatre last night,
is some vampire That is to say, the Klaw &
Erlanger piece deliberately played upon the
emotions of a perfectly sober.minded first
night audience and set them to doing things
they probably never had dreamed before the
first curtain rose and the lure of II all vit.ated
every semblance of resistance. Before long
1t became altogether impossible to meet the
demand for encores.
In the first and last analysis 1.-THE Velvet
Lady meets all the requirements of musical
comedy which make for capital entertain
ment. 1t is colorful. If not bewltching, in its
settings: 1t moves with n grace that Is
impelling. and it is devoid Of any OF the duller
moments which permit doubts to creep in as
to its ultimate success.
Now as to the story-if that really matters
1t is a tale of all the possible complications
you could mathcmatically conceive Of center
ing about two mlstakingiy interchanged tray
cling bags. In one OF the bags are the love
letters a young lawyer, a bridegroom, has
spirited away from a perfectly alluring YAM

has threatened to sue. In the other bag are

VICTORTA-"Oh. Johnny!" with Louis BennIson.
Story by Wilson Bayle% and directed by Ira
NJ. Lowry. Betswood Film play.
The Princess Theatre of New York has
been the home OF so many successful attrac-
tions with the Oh trademark that it Is not
strange that the Betswood Film Company, OF
this city, has made use Of this
sort of title for a series of six "Oh, Johnny"
films, all OF which will star Louis Bennison.
1t will be RECALLED that Bennison, who in
this film is making his first appearance in
motion pictures, won considerable approval
in the play of the same name. His acting
as a cowboy funmaker holds out promise for
the future, and it is safe TO predict that,
given fit stories and capable direction, Benni-
son will furnish p~hotoplaygoers with a star
upon whom TO center some of their admira-
ton.

A few seasons ago George Scarborough
