WEALTHY CHURCH GOERS
contributions SMALL

ATLANTIC CITY, April 26.-Rey
DIR. Luther e. Lovejoy OF Chicago
in an address before the convention
of the federated churches OF Christ
in America. criticized wealthy
church members who make small
contributions in the collection plate
but expressed the hope that these
conditions would be a thing OF the
past.
"A man can still be the respected
member Of a fashionable city church
ride in an $4,000 motor car clothe
his wife and daughter in silk ana
furs and pay rs cents a Sunday for
his religion.
"A treasurer Of a metropolitan
congregation recently found z.10e
pennies in one Sundays collection.
The Christian people of America are
waking up to the fact that they treat
their Creator with less confederation
than they treat their waiter at the
restaurant or the Pullman porter
who shines their shoes and they are
eager to make amends for past ne
glect."

land Rapid Transit Railroad Com
pany was taken yesterday until to-
morrow morning at 1880 O'Clock.

over with the request of the Transit
Commission that Commissioner Gro
yer Whalen of the plant and struc-
lures of the city of New York be in

sible. be reached between the de1l
partment of plants and structure

seventy cents on the Communication
from Tottenville to st. George. I'm
der the present schedule the rail-
road gets $6.18 and the city of New

The proposed change is based on
the five cent fare to be charged
each commuter over the municipal

mutation rate on the trains. It was
brought out at the hearing yesterday

95 per cent. Of the passengers are
using this road as far as South
