EPISCOPAL RECTOR
DEVlSE PLAN TO
INDUCE ATTENDANCE
Assesses Tax of Dollar Monthly
on Members to Provide
-. 3ii-
j., .~r for Distressed =. :.
.(By United Press. }

Charleston, S. c., Oct. 28.-A prac-
tical plan to persuade members to at
tend church services and support
church work, has, been found here in
the Insurance. plan put into opera
ton by Rev. A. e. Cornish, rector Of
St. Johns Episcopal mission.
In the two months the plan,
whereby the church insured it's men,
bers, has been in operation, the men,
bership of the church has increased
to such an extent that plans are on
foot to raise $4,000 fund for build
ing larger church.
Early last summer Rev. Cornish
found the members falling into
apathy. Attendance was falling Off
and the vestry was becoming alarmed
at what seemed to be sure slow
death for the parish. The pastor hit
upon the idea that to induce men,
bers to take an interest in the church
he would have to give them some
thing to do.
Calling his leading members into
council with him, he laid before them
the plan to tax each working man
and woman in the parish one days
wages month. All others should
pay 81 a month each, it was decided.
With this fund he proposed to pay
benefits to the sick, the poor and
needy and to relatives of members
who died.
The scheme was declared workable
and put into operation. During the
first month 81 members subscribed.
In the second month the subscriptions
had mounted enormously until now
Rev. Cornish declares interest in
church work and social services are
at the highest point.
Members over 70 years old get PEN
sions of 81 a week. Those ill re-
ceive IS a week.. Relatives of dead
members are given 500 each. 3D.
Interest is such that now Rev:
Cornish has undertaken to obtain
the church building fund by selling
1000 $50 bonds payable in cash or in
installments. Other plans including
a nursery have been proposed by
women members.

Some AirpIane Gas Is Pink.

: There is a difference between auto
mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline.
For aircraft the gas must be lighter
and more volatile, that is, evaporate
more READILY, than ordinary gas. This
causes it to work better at great alti-
tudes. There are three grades of gas
oline for our airplanes, one for train
ing planes, q better grade Of gasoline
for bombing planes and the very best
grade for the fighting planes. "Fight-
ing gas" as it is called, is colored
pink. This is to distinguish 1t from
other grades so that inexperienced
men working at the aviation fields
will not use this valuable gasoline for
other purposes. This pink gas Is as
pure as it can be produced. refined
and doubly refined and strained or
filtered until there are no impurities
left in it.-American Boy.

not deceive him. I suspected that
he had been told before he came
whom he was to meet, for he gave
no start of surprise when he saw
the woman who had whirled at his
entrance and stood gazing at him
with every bit of color drained from
her face, with her mask of COM
posure stripped from her at last. She
shook as with a palsy as he spoke
to her.
"Elello, Jen! At it again, eh?'
She turned away from him, in her
face mingled fear and loathing,
spoke wearily, abjectly.
"Ill sign anything pou say, do
anything you wish if you'll only
promise to keep that man away from
me-"
You must think I'm anxious for
your society, sweetheart" the man
began, menace underneath his ap-
parent jocularity.

Mr.. Drake spoke briskly. "Just re-

Corbett Disagrees
With Pecord' S Ruling
on Willard Knockout

New York, July 20.-James ].
Corbett, former heavyweight cham
pion, roundly scored Referee Ollie
Pecord few days ago for deciding
that Willard was knocked out in
the third round by Jack Dempsey at
Toledo.
II never heard Of such a queer
ruling" declared Corbett, "and l
consider it very unfair. In my opin-
ion Willard was knocked out in the
fourth round and I'll tell you why
"The third round of three min
utes ended with Willard on his feet
He wasn't beaten when he walked
to his corner. The ensuing rest of
one minute counted for nothing. If
the bell for the fourth round didn't
ring, for the sake of argument, Will
lard wasn't actually defeated until
10 seconds of what would have been
the fourth round had elapsed.
II have been asked by many per-
sons to decide bets made on a
knockout and shall decide that Will
lard finished the third round, but
was stopped in the fourth Pecori
has made a sad mistake and has
burned up many thousands of dol
lars. He should have been guided
by common sense, which shows that
Willard when he went to his chair
after the end of the third round,
hadn't been declared the loser, and
consequently wasn't out in that
round.
II have no personal reasons for
differing with the referees decision.
1t is simply matter of fair play
and I am surprised that there should
be any controversy over a point that
is a clear as crystal"

There must have been some spe-

expression in which amazement and
chagrin mingled and spread over
her face. Even the sullen, baffled
rage which came into her face at
the verbal flaying which Lillian late,
gave her did not wipe the almost
awed wonder from her countenance.
At Mr.. brakes low call from the
door to the man in the hall she
pulled herself together with a swift
ness, sureness that compelled my
admiration, even through my thor
oughly justified loathing Of the
woman. She was evidently pre-
pared to bluff magnificently to the
last possible moment.
Defiant to the Last.
Allen brakes assistant appeared

alert, attentively waiting for his su-

COMMITTEE OF
500 WILL STAND
BY The COUNCIL
Seek to Enlarge Membership
at Services of North Pres
byterian Church; Many
Sign.

At the North Presbyterian church
Sunday morning, prior to the regu-
lar preaching services, Robert A.
McEacheron announced that it is the
desire OF the officers of the Com
mittee of 500 that the membership
be increased, that the committee
work may be extended and made
more effective and far reaching.
Mr.. McEacheron asserted that the
Committee of 500 came into exist
ence short time prior to the last
city election and that it was instru-
mental in electing majority OF the
members of the city commission.
Now" said he, certain influences
are at work, seeking to prevent
these members from obtaining an
enforcement of the law, especially
the law that applied to prohibition.
Members of the committee have
and propose to stand behind the
members of the city commission,
whose election they sought and an
effort is now being made to enlist
the services OF additional citizens
of Omaha who are in favor of law
and order"
Many Sign Cards.
Following the remarks Of Mr.. Nc
Eacheron, cards were signed by a
large number of the members of
the church. The card pledge fol-
lows:
"The committee of 500 is a good
government organization devoted to
law enforcement and to placing in
office men who will enforce the law
Its purpose is to keep its members
informed as to real facts of local
government and as to the records of
public officials.
This committee will commend
public officials where it can do so
and criticise where it must, and de-
fend them against unfounded at
tacks."
Discussing the topic, Parents
Dedicating Their Children to God
for Ministry" Rev. ]. M. Wilson,
the pastor. urged the importance of
religious home training for children,
not alone with the idea that they
might become ministers and teach
ers, but that they might be prepared
to take part in doing Gods work.
He urged the importance of a COL
lege education for ministers, taking
the position that such an education
had a tendency to broaden their
views and aid them in obtaining a
better understanding of the work
which they would be called upon to
do in the ministry.
Seeks Highest Standards.
Rev. Mr.. Wilson contended that
men for the ministry, in order to at
tain the aims sought, must be thor
ough in their work, love it and seek
to reach the highest standards at
tainable. For the ministry, he urged
that those who are most successful
are called and if not so called, there
can be little hope of their ever be-
coming great teachers of the gospel
truths.
