GREAT PROBLEM
TAKING CARE OF
MISSION CROWDS

So great was the interest manifested
last night in the Christian healing
mission now being conducted by
Henry Blandford, layIpan of the
Episcopal church, in All Saints, that
luany had to be turned away from the
service. 1t is beginning to be a real
prob EN- to properly care for the
crowds ard enc plan has been sug-
gested, the holding of the service in
the open, out under the big oaks in
the churchyard.
Last nights gathering was a won
derful one in that the congregation
emained steadfast although the
service, beginning at 1880, lasted UNI
il IL o'c ock. Hundreds made their
way to the altar rail fer the laying
or of hands, people representing al
most all the church organizations in
Lakeland viii e many were present
from Barlow, Winter Haven and Au-
burndale
Mr.. Blandford does not term Mis- adj
dresses sermons but prefers to call
hem instruction. But no matter what
may be the designation, there is no
denying the simple Logic Of his point.
To hear him once is to create the de-
sire to come again and again. His
simplicity. his earesiness, his sin.
cerity, his full realization of the Sc
robustness of his mission In dealing
with these i'll and afflicted, his un-
founded belief that the Church of
ebay must lie the reincarnation of the
Church of the First Century, his
orCeful and irdisputable stat ment
hat Jesus Christ did instru t and
cmmand that the healing OF the sick
ahould be an Integral part Of the
Christian ministry-all these things
are the meat and the power and the
strength of the mission That cures
ard improvements are taking place is
now thoroughly established That
spiritual healing has been vauchsafed
hundreds of people from all denomi=
cations, irrespective Of church or
creed, is also an attested fact.
At the ten o'clock service this
morning there was another great
thrCng and another powerful presen-
alton of truths, followed by the lay
ing on of hands lasting until j
o clock this afternoon.
The service tonight will begin as
usual at 1880 and as was the case yes
erday, those who have registered
are urged to be in the church at least
five minutes before the hour of SER
vice in order to avoid over-crowding
and to obtain seating accommoda-
tons.

TO RELIEF FOR CHINESE

The American Red Cross has an
nounced an additional appropriation
OF 100000 for the relief of famine
sufferers in China. This brings it's
total given for this purpose up to an
even million. The Red Cross is today
feeding $4,000 sufferers day. its
efforts being concentrated in three of
the five northern provinces.
This big appropriation was an
nounced simultaneously bys national
Red Cross headquarters here and by
the headquarters of the American
committee for China famine fund.
New Bible House, New York Con-
trlbutions should be sent there to
vernon Munroe. national treasurer.
The method taken in disbursing
these sums is as follows: The Red
Cross buys it's supplies in Manchuria
and other places. ships them to the
famine area and pays them out through
carefully directed commiSSary de-
partment to thejheads of families en-
ployed in road Construction
Ten men from the 18th United

oversee Red Cross stores. and four

MACHINISTS AND A. F. L.
NOT AGREED ON POLICY

Although the American Fedora ation
of Labor has practically decided upon
severance of all relationship with the
International Federation of Trades
Unions. as result of a decision of
the executive council. the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists will
continue affiliation with the European
body through the Metal Workers In
ternational. Federation, with head
quarters in Bern, Switzerland
The announcement of the stand of
the latter was made by President
William II. Johnston of the machin-
lists today.
The American Federation of Labor
takes the stand, it is understood.
that it cannot remain affiliated with
the continental labor moYement on
account of Revolutionary activities"
Of the latter and because it had
failed ito recognize the national
autonomy of each trade union CEN
ter
The International Association of
Machinists, however. will continue
the affiliation with the European
bcdy, which includes British and
French organized labor. The ma
chinists adopted hands off" policy
with regard to the soviet system at
the last annual convention. 1t was
in the carrying out of this program
with relation to supplying Poland
that the breach arose between the
American Federation of Labor and the
International Federation of Trades
Unions.

fidently expect that he will be made

TWO D. c. HEADS
CLOSING TERMS
Miss Boardman and Mr..
Hendrick Will Step Out Un-
less Confirmed Today.

The terms of Commissi oners Board
man and Hendrick came to a close for
all practical purposes this afternoon.
Although the recess appointments
given them by President Wilson DO
not expire until noon tomorrow, the
District building will not be open TO-
morrow.
Commissioner Hendrick refrained
from discussing today the question OF
whether he expects or desires reap
pointment by President Harding.
Commissioner BoardmanT stated in
answer to questions that she is not
seeking reappointment. but II the ne"
President and the Senate feel that she
would be of any service to the Sa-
tional Capital she would accept.
If the Senate does not act on the
pending nominations of Miss Board
man and Mr.. HendTick before au-
journment Col. Charles w. kutz, En-
gineer Commissioner. Will be on duty
alone after IL o'clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Harding should Act Quickly.
Speculation is rife as to whether
the new President will reappolnt MISS
ROardman and Mr.. Hendrick or name
others in their places Immediately
upon taking office tomorrow.
Even if he should let the commits
sionership go for a few days the
operation of the District government
would not be seriously interfered with
in the belief of old city officials.
Ten days will elapse before an
other District pay day, and it is
Thought reasonably certain Mr.. Hard
ing will fill the commissionerships IN
that time.
There might be some difficulty
about sending patients to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital. since the signatures
of at least two Commissioners are

his client was given only a fifteen
day notice to quit. when under the

For himself. he said. so far as this
