All Souls Memorial Episcopal Church Stands
As Monument to Efforts of associate Rector
Building Of Splendid Edihce
Attended With Story of
Real Struggle and Sacri-
fee.

All Souls Memorial Episcopal
Church, Cathedral and Connecticut
avenues northwest, after nine years
existence, today stands as a monu-
ment to the 'untiring effort of it's
associate rector, the Rev. J. Mac
Bride Sterrett.
The idea of permanently estab-
fishing an Episcopal place of wor-
ship in the vicinity where the
church now stands, had its incep-
tion about a decade ago. But the
idea was all that was available to
build upon, for the inhabitants of
the neighborhood had neither money
nor a structure with which to start.
Dr. Sterretts zeal had been
aroused over the project and a year
later he gave $4,000 with which to
start erecting a suitable edifice. The
cornerstone of the present structure,
the one and only home the institu-
tiOn has ever had, was laid in 1911.
while the congregation, at that time
consisting of what few persons were
interested in the welfare of the
struggling parish. got along as best
they could in other places of wor-
ship.
Work on the building progressed
rapidly and il was cOnsecrated In
1914 by Bishop Harding, who, a few
years later. made it a parish. From
then the Institution has prospered
under the management of the Ster-
rett household.
DR.. Sterrett worked without ces-
sation for the church. The congre-
cation was augmented by hundreds
Of persons who had heard OF the
excellent reputation that il enjoyed.
The increasing contributions ena-
bled it to pay off a large portion of
the debt incurred in its constructor.
Three years ago the Rev. H. H. D.
Sterrett, son of the rector, was,
through further efforts of his father.
made pastor Of the church, the elder
Sterrett continuing his affiIiation
with the institution as associate
rector.
Mission work under the new pas
tor expanded rapidly as did the
Sunday school, which very quickly
became known as one OF the best
in any of the Episcopal churches Of
the Northwest.
Though comparatively one Of
WashingtOn's youngest places of
worship All Souls has a faithful
congregation which includes many

.Loafing On the Job
PAGE II.

Any person would think, to read the capital
ist press that the workers are all loafing on the
job and this is the reason for high prices and
lack of needed goods. Especially is this true Of
the stories concerning coal production.
The fact is that since 1901 there has been
an increase in coal production, in the United
States, of 405 tons per man. For 1918 the aver
age was 1874 tons per man, the highest in
history. This lis far higher than other countries,
because we have not yet reached the stage oil
intensive mining There is tremendous wastage
in our mining, because of the greed for quick
and easy profits and because of the unwilling
ness to put private capital into plants at the
mines to convert the coal into electric power
without transportation. Private industry hangs
ON to old plants, methods and machinery as
long as these pay profits, particularly when
combinations have been perfected against COM
petition, as is now quite generally the case.
Capitalism is making the world loaf on the
job of scientific production.

the workers. Is it not reasonable to assume that
these workers will adopt the view that the govern
nent belongs to the bosses and not to them?
The two obvious lessons of the strike which
have been here pointed out will be brought home
not to the strikers alone but to the other workers
who have watched their struggle with sympathetic
interest. This brings us to another aspect of the
situation, perhaps the most important of all, the
influence of their example on the working class as
a whole. In the coming final showdown between
capital and labor toward which we are moving
with the speed Of hurricane, we will have need
of clear thinking we will be foredoomed to failure
unless, out of the experience gained in these pre-
liminary skirmishes, we learn how to cast off the
false ideas and self-deceptions with which we have
fettered ourselves in the past
Building Up Labor Morale.
But more than all we will have to build up with
in ourselves the fighting spirit, the morale of
battle, that alone will bear us up through delays

final victory Herein lies the great service that
these heroic yardfnen have rendered For by their
long months of stubborn conflict against insuper-
able odds, by their bold defiance Of the master
class and all of it's agencies they have inspired
thousands outside their own ranks and have
demonstrated once again the truth of the comnun-
ist claim that the workers are the salt of the earth
Z the class that is destined to conquer. The work.
ing class of America constantly being forced into
action by the pressure of conditions imposed upon
them and stimulated by such splendid precedents
