WIPE OUT Debt ON
CRISFIELD CHURCH
Members of Congregation
Dispose of Bonds at
$l2 Each
EDIFICE SOON TO BE
CLEARED OF $8400

Since becoming pastor Of Emmanuel
~. E. Church at Crisfleld, Nd, the Rev.
John L. Johnson. former pastor Of
Scott Church, this city, has wiped out
the debt on that edlfce. Concerning
the achievement the Crisneld Times
says:
As the result Of a well-planned cam
pO ! conceived and inaugurated by the
Tastor, the Rev. ]. L. Johnson. the en-
tire debt on the handsome church and
parsonage Of Emmanuel NJ. E. Church.
Crisfleld, has been raised, and within a
short time will BE- a thing OF the pact.
The debt, amounting to $500 was the
balance OF an investment OF more than
$4,000, which the congregation Of I'm
manuel =. z. Church assumed less
than eight years ago.
On the evening OF May 10, while the
members Of the oflcial board with their
wives were being entertained at the
parsonage by the Rev. Johnson and wife.
the pastor suggested a plan by which
the remaining debt on the church
property might be cancelled. The plan
provided for the sale Of 100 bonds at
si2 each, payable in six monthly in
stallments, the payments TO begin in
September OF this year. and to conclude
the first week in next February. The
second Sunday in February, the eighth
anniversary Of the dedication OF the
church, was fixed as the day to burn
the mortgage. The plan suggested by
the Rev. Johnson was accepted and in
cluded the appointment Of seven teams
OF twelve men each, with a captain for
each team, It being the work Of the
teams 70 sell the 700 bonds. The teams
were organized with the following cap
tains: No. 4, L. E. P. Dennis; No. 2,
". ]. Peyton No. 3, Harold L. Lore
man; No. 4, James w. McLane; No. 5, ].
$. Lawson; No. 6. J. Millard Tawes; No.
7, John Die.
Thursday evening July 25. was fixed
as the date when the captains should
make their first report. After a splen-
did literary and musical program had
been rendered 10 the delight Of an aud
fence that filled the church, the pas
tor called for the report from the cap |
tains and team workers and TO the sur
prise and delight OF the large audience
present IL was found that provision had /
been made for the entire amount. The
was so delighted that they /
burst forth into song, singing such stir
ring songs are Victory" Brighten the
Corner" and the "Doxology." II was a
very remarkable achievement in the
face Of war conditions to provide for
this entire amount in just one month.

WILSON FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
AT INTERVIEW WITH F0CH
ASK SLOWER CANCELLATION
Of War Contracts at Bridgeport, Conn.,
Factories.

Washington, d. c., Dec. lS.--A resolu-
tion calling upon the secretary of labor
to secure slowing up of war contract
cancellations at Bridgeport, Conn, muni-
tions plants, was adopted to-day by the
war labor board.
The board had been asked to take this
action by employees and manufacturers
of Bridgeport. II was stated that some
5000 men already have been released
from the 66 war plants there and that
1000 or 10000 more are facing the pros
pect of immediate discharge. The text
Of the resolution follows:
Resolved, that the serious conse-
quences to the munition workers, which
are resulting and are more likely to re-
suit, from wholesale cancellation of gov
ernment orders, be respectfully referred
to the secretary Of labor, to be taken up
with the war and navy departments with
the request that he use his efforts to Sc
cure such notifications of these cancel
lations as may reduce the hardship to
labor at the beginning of winter, and as
sure a graduated decrease in the number
of munition workers employed in Bridge
port"
AT the office of the secretary of labor
in the absence of the secretary, Hugh L.
kerwin, his assistant, stated that the de-
partment would take immediate action
along the lines suggested by the war la
Dor board.

10 all by the director.
A very fine address was pleasingly

RURAL MEX ENGLAND
REALLY At STANDSTILL
Declared Rev. William Shaw in Address
To-day Before Methodist District
Conference at Montpelier.

"The rural population Of New Eng
land is practically static" said Rev.
William Shaw Of st. Albans, addressing
Methodist district conference in the
Methodist church at Montpelier to-day.
Lack of opportunity for advancement
in the rural community" he continued,
"sends the young people to the city and
the community life thus impoverished
deteriorates both intellectually and So
cially.
"The church is planning to meet this
situation by establishing adequate cen
tiers of training and education for the
rural young people. Efficient churches
are to be established in the scores of
small towns where no church services
are held.
"The church will provide rural workers
for sparsely settled sections, who win in
fuse new life and ideals into the inn
poyerished life of the community.
Morgan memorials are to be estab-
lished in several cities, which will have
public forums, schools of religious edu.
cation, and recreational facilities for the
young people, to meet the need in the
congested districts.
"The problem Of Americanization is
also facing the church. Out Of popu-
lation of more than 6,5000O0, according
to the last census, nearly 100000 are
of foreign extraction. These figures
range from 80 per cent in Maine to 6s
per cent in Rhode Island and 66 per
cent in Massachusetts,. The government
cannot meet the religious needs that are
so basic and the New England churches
must help to take care Of the multi
tudes who are drifting into infdelity
and atheism.
1--WE are also facing the question Of
the supply Of men. New England is no
longer providing its own leadership in
religious affairs. In Boston, there Is not
single leading evangelical church
manned by New Ingland pastor Lead
ers are being trained to meet these needs
in new school planned in conjunction
with Boston university, Morgan memo
rial and the Deaconess association"
Other speakers were Rev. w. w. Bow
ers of Salem, Mass, Rev. George A. Mar
tin of st. Johnsbury, Rev. l. w. LeBar-
on of Pawtucket, +. l., Rev. George II.
Spencer of Dorchester, Mass, and Rev.
Ii. G. Hageman Of Lynn, Mass.
The conference was attended by the
representatives Of nearly 30 churches.

Despite vagrant rumors to the con-

among the few cases that have been re-
ported is influenza. The secretary of the
local board of health said to-day that
only one case of influenza is on the rec
ords. 1t was reported this morning and
the house where the patient is confined
was Immediately quarantined. Doubt
exists as to whether it is a case of the
flu, while a number of suspected cases
which the attending physicians reported
to the health department as precau-
tionary measure were found to have been
merely hard colds, the progress of which
failed to develop any signs of influenza.
