MAY NEGLECT
POSTALCLERKS
Congress May Adjourn
Without Readjusting Sal
ary Scale of Employees.
BY ROBERT T. BARRY.

There are indications that Con-
gress will depart from Washington
early in June without having enact
eo legislation to readjust salaries
OF postal employees in such a way
as to check further impairment of
the mail service of the nation. Some
OF the members who have posed as
the greatest friends of the clerks
ana carriers now are arguing that
the report of the salaries reclassifi-
cation commission cannot be made
by June 1. They are making no
promises whatever about passing
the necessary legislation.
Confronted by a choice between
continued disintegration of the
postal service and collapse of their
political chatter about economy,
many members are inclined to take
the credit for economy and let the
cash for the mail service go. Some
leaders are averse to adding the
necessary millions for pay increases
to their statements of appropria-
nSns when they go to the people
Pressure by businss interests and
the activities of some members of
the salaries commission for. prompt
action are having an effect. The
commission is expected to agree this
week on the major points in its re-
port. 1t will suggest immediate con-
sideration of a bill embodying the
proposed salary increases, and a
fight will be made to have ii passed
before the convention recess. Sen
timent for the increases is regarded
as being SO overwhelming as to in
sure prompt passage IL the leaders
permit the bill to reach the floor.

sermons Heard in Washington Churches Yesterday
DR.. Henry Allen Upper
Tells of Curse of Pessim-
ism and Blessing of Op-
timism in Lecture.

In his seventh lecture e-sermon on
Making the Most of Myself" DR..
Henry Allen Tupper. of the First
Baptist Church. last night spoke of
the curse of pessimism and the
blessing of optimism.
The writer of Ecclesiastes." he
said. who wrote Vanity OF van
tiles. all is vanity and the Apostle
Paul, who wrote 'sorrowful. yet al
ways rejoicing; poor. yet making
many rich: having nothing. yet pos
sessing all things afford illustra-
tions of these contrary mental
qualities.
First. we have the one who al
though having all things. possessed
nothing. Living in a life that re-
volved in the circumference of self,
seeking happiness only for its own
sake, he was surfeited by material
things yet hungered after spiritual
things.
Second, We have the immeasur-
able wealth of one who really pos
sessed nothing in a material sense.
In a spiritual way, however, he was
rich beyond the dreams of avarice,
for he had a recognition of divine
power and partnership. and the in
spiration of an unselfish motive and
noble ideal. He had the knowledge
that real life is the inner, not the
outer existence, that duties are
ours. and results Gods. To him
were given in unstinted measure
the majestic and magnetic attrac-
tions of the blessed life to come.
Life was to him a glorious opportu-
nifty and a sacred responsibility"

To Help Others, We Must
Come With Insight and
Perception" Says Rev.
Muir in Sermon.

Post convention thoughts were
the theme of Rev. J. ]. Muir's SER
mon at the Temple Baptist Church
yesterday morning.
We must come down from the
heights of the convention to the
comparative lowland of everyday
life, just as Christ and His disciples
descended from the Mount Of Trans
figuration."
But we have had an ethereal
vision, our hearts have been lifted
up, and We must not lose sight of
the splendid aims and ideals vouch-
safed US during the convention. We
must. not let the Master say to US,
Because of your unbelief.' He must
not rebuke US for lack of faitn.
We are come to the multitude
and we must have insight and per
ception. We must be able to read
in their faces their peculiar needs
and problems that we NAV minis,s,
to them. First, there is the contro-
versiahst, always in disputation.
whose especial forte Is to argue
against Christianity. Then come
the distressed and heart broken.
hurdened with the weight of many
sorrows, battling against condi-

Again we have those who have hat
tied and lost, humiliated over their
failure.
These and many other types are
in. the multitude that faces us to-
day. and we must carry our mes
sage to them bravely and resolute-
ly. We must consider them an on

Paul Is Pictured as True
Soldier Of Christ by the
Rev. Talbot at Church of
Covenant.

Rev. H. D. Talbot, who occupied
the pulpit at the Church of the Cow
enant yesterday morning in the alb
sence of the pastor, Rev. Charles
Wood, based his sermon on Phil. :21
For Me to Live Is Christ; To Die Is
Gain"
He said in part: To-day. of all
ages and times, affords an un-
equaled opportunity for making
ideals into practicalities. We have
always had ideals. for the essential
fundamentals of human nature are
not changed. Ideals to be practicable
must be founded upon fundamental
truths"
Picture Paul. aged, in prison,
harrassed, prosecuted, with faith
sorely tried: but he was a true SOL
der of Christ, a Christian in every
sense of the word. With Nero on
the throne. in a measure his day
was like our day, a troublesome
time, but he was undismayed In
his letter to the Philippians he
holds aloft the torch of a sublime
faith. an unchallenged confidence,
an unquenchable optimism"
And what was the source of
Paul idealism? His life in Christ.
His was a life of unqualified devo-
tion, unquestioned faith, complete
submission. Lord what wilt Thou
have me to dor" he asks.
What is the real purpose of
Christianity? Service. Altruism. The
tendency of professed Christians to-
day is to make their faith a selfish
one. 1t is recognized that there
must be a genuine Christian revival
II the problems of our chaotic time
are to be solved"

DR.. Clovis G. Chappell Says
Optimism, Cheerfulness
And Courage Are Funda-
mental Principles.

In his sermon yesterday on the
subject. The Man Who Encouraged
Himself" DR.. Clovis G. ChappeIl,
pastor of Mount Vernon Place Meth
cdist Church, declared that opti-
mism and cheerfulness and courage
are among the fundamental prin-
ciples of Christian living, and that
1t is as important for a man TO
possess these qualities as for him
to be Christian in any other re-
spect. He declared in effect that
these are Christian virtues, and that
there is doubt of the reality of the
experience of the Christian who
does not possess them.
Courage, DR.. Chappeil said, Is one
OF the most needed virtues Of the
times. His courage had to do with
the Psalmist. David, who was opti-
mistic and encouraged himself in
the Lord" when everything seemed
to be against him. He denounced
the false courage, the false opti-
mism. which he said was sometimes
based on disbelief in plain facts
the courage which attacks the giant
in the pathway by arguing that
there is no giant. rather than the
courage which relies on the Lord
to assist in meeting and conquering
the real giant.
1T doesn't matter what your lob
may be-" said DR.. Chappell, you
know that when you lose heart in
it, you may as we'll give il up.
David, encouraged himself in the
Lord when he was beset with diff
iculties that would have taken the
heart out of him except for this
source of encouragement, and every
Christian can do the same thing to-
day. And it is his duty to do So"
