3. When YOU come, come with Il
crouch.
1. At every service ask yourself,
What do ! get out Of this"
5. Never accept office. 1T is better to
stay outside and criticize.
q. Visit other churches about half OF
the time to show your pastor that you
are not tied down to him. There is moth

7. Let the pastor earn his money;
let him do all the work.
s. Sit pretty well back and never sing.
If vcV have to sing, sing out of tune
and behind everybody else.
s. Never nay in advance, especially for
religion. Wait until you get your
money 5 worth, and then wait bit
longer.
10 Never encourage the preacher; if
You like a sermon, Keep mum about 1t.
Many preacher has been ruined by
tattery. Don t let his blood be on your
had.
II. 1t is good to tell your pastor 5
falings to any strangers that may hap
Zen in; they might be long time find
mo them out.
y. OF course you can't be expected
to get new members for the church with
such . pastor as he is.

pens to be harmonious, call it anathy or
Indifference or lack of zeal, or anything
under the sun except what it IS.
II. If there happen to be few zeal

into Pier IT Of the New York Central
Railroad at the foot OF Park Place.
The roof OF the pier was torn away
and the force OF the Priscilla's speed

the bridge, said he had just given or

Most OF the passengers were in

Abandoned.
BENSON IN CONFERENCE
Admiral Called Chief Stun

of Trouble.

WASHINGTON. MAY 5.-Repre-
sentatives Of marine workers failed
70 meet to-day with Secretary Davis
to continue conferences looking to a
settlement Of the shipping wage con-
troversy which has resulted in crews
Of some American merchant craft
walking out.
Mr.. Davis said to-day's conference
would not be held, and he did not
know IL the meetings would be re-
eumed. Government of6cers appar-
emily had abandoned hope that the
controversy could be settled at this
time by Federal mediation.
"As FAR as the unions are concerned
the negotiations are ended" said Mr..
Brown. "If Secretary Of Labor Davis
or Secretary Hoover should request a
reopening of the conferences the
unions will be glad TO comply, but SO
far as we can see now there is little
hope Of a settlement unless the ship
owners are willing to make conces-
sions. Our men have left washing
ton for the ports where they are as
signed to lead the strike"
The question OF wage reductions Is
the one on which the coufcrecs are
! FAR apart, Admiral Benson, Chairman
of the United States Shipping Board,
and the private ship owners refusing
70 offer any wage scale except 10
per cent. reduction. The union lead
ers so far have showed every deter
mination to stand pat for 4 continu-
ance Of the present scale.
To keep in touch with the situation
Secretary Davis conferred with the
Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Joint Coun-
Gil of the National Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association, headed by w
S Brown, President Of the associa-
tion, and 7. b. Healy, Chairman OF
the council Healy declared that the
situation was very satisfactory
from the standpoint OF the men, while
Brown said no concessions would be
made by the men in the way OF ac-
cepting wage reductions.
''Give Us a few more days" he said
"and all American shipping will bt
tied up. The men are coming or the
ships at every port"
Brown also said there would be nC
move to call a strike among harbol
tugboat men unless there is an effor
TO com9el the men to move ship
whose crews have refused to accep
cuts"

The Cabinet OF Chancellor Fehren-

that II remain in office until new
ministry was organized. Informal
conferences were In progreBS to-day
among the coalition party leaders, but
no tangible results have as yet
emerged from these consultations as
to the makeup OF the new govern

Whether the present party bloc
will be able 20 send another Cabinet
to the Governments bench in the
Reichstag Is the subject OF lively con-
lecture in Parliamentary circles as Is
the question whether such n govern
ment could count upon the benevolent
neutrality OF the Majority Socialists
which is necessary for an effective
working majority.
The new cabinet, II Is pointed out,
will also be confronted with the pros
pect OF being called upon to affiI Ger
