FINANCE LOANS
>ASPR0BLEM> IN
SMALL CHURCH
Conditions to be + Better But
Churches Will Face Strain,
Says Speaker

Fargo, N. D., Sept 27.-The finan-
cial conditions, the problem of the
small church and the need of great
er cooperation in church fields were
presented to the Forty-First annual
meeting Of the Congregational Con-
ference Of North Dakota by Superin-
tendent Augustus c. Hacke here to-
day. Mr.. Hacke, with the giving Of
the report ended the first year in
which he has been at the head of
the work of the church in the state.
In the beginning of his report the
Rev. Mr.. Hacke expressed regret that
more of the problems Of the church
in the state had not been solved in
the year of work and appreciation
of the spirit of loyalty throughout
the state.
"With better crops throughout the
state this year, conditions are somc-
what improved" said Mr.. Hacke in
beginning his report. "The real fl
nancial strain will not be relieved,
for with the many bad years for
part of the state, accumulated taxes
and interest will make this
better year serve only as first
aid relief. The low prices are discour-
aging to many who must put their
crops on the market. However, I
count one of the best results of these
changed conditions, the more opti-
mistic spirit that one finds in every
community. ...
II think our most serious problem
in the state is the problem Of the
small church. These small churches
need just as good preaching and pas
toral work as the larger ones. How
ever, it is difficult to get strong
leadership for these fields because
of the limitations both financially
and otherwise. Our trend is toward
fewers pastors and larger parishes.
Some of our churches are realizing
the superior value Of strong lead
er, even though the number Of pub
lie services be little less. This is
the enlarged parish as contrasted
with the larger parish idea. This en-
larged parish makes increased de-
mands upon the pastor, physically,
mentally and socially. However, it
gives the rural, or semi-rural minis
ter the opportunity to extend his
influence, so that frequently he has
a much bigger field than his city
neighbor. Progress is slow, but once
we get this cooperation between
churches, the natural development
will be towards stronger churches
that will become self-sustainins
units.

TIERNAN CASE
BEFORE JUDGE
FOR DECISION
Testimony Ends in Case to De-
termine Parentage of Child
Born to Mrs. Tiernan
(By the Associated Press>


South Bend, Ind. Sept. 27.-With
hearings in the case of Harry Pou-
lin, charged by Mrs. Augusta Tier.
nan with the paternity Of her ten
months old child, ended, persons in
terested in the outcome were today
awaiting the verdict of Judge Ches-
ter L. Ducomb, which isl scheduled
to be announced Saturday.
The improbability of a woman in
the position of Mrs. Tiernan, bring
ing before the public, the story Of
her relations with another man, un-
les the acts actually occurred, such
as the plaintiff has done, was en-
phasized by Prosecutor Jellison in
summing up the states case. He as
serted it had been shown that Mrs.
Tiernan's sole motive in bringing
the court action was to make Poulin
acknowledge parentage of his own
child.
In concluding Prosecutor Jellison
said:
eve know that Mrs. Tiernan is not
woman to compose monstrous
fabrication-to perjure herself in the
eyes of her children. The question
before the court is who Is the IA
ther of this child?'
"The evidence points to Harry
Poulin."
In closing their case, the defense
attorneys argued that the plaintiff
had some ulterior motive for seek
ing revenge against Poulin and
maintained the prosecution had not
established that the baby might not
be Professor Tiernan's offspring.
It has been indicated by both sides
that if decision is rendered against
them Saturday by Judge Ducomb,
they will take the case to aNhigher
court.

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT GAINS
(Bv The Associated Press)

Vby Tie ASSUC1aCeu FfeSSJ
London, Sept 27.-Greece is in the throes of a
revolution which has already caused the downfall
of the government and according to several reports
from Athens has forced the unhappy Constantine
to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince thus losing
his throne for the second time in five years.
The revolutionary movement which is said to be
led by General Gonatas, is making headway in all
directions but thus far without reports of boodshed
The nsurrection, which while not altogether un-
looked for, broke out in formidable force with un-
expected suddenness It had its inception among
the vanqushed troops brought from Smyrna to the
Islands of Mytilene and Chios and among the SOL
ders at Saloniki Strangely enough, however, these
two revolts seem to have had different object-the
former aimed at the overthrow of the government
and King Constantine and the latter at the defense
of Thrace against the Turks.

THREATENED LOSS

London, Sept. 27.-The threatened
loss of eastern Thrace, following
closely on the defeat of the Greek
army in Anatolia, has precipitated
crisis in Athens. The cabinet resign-
ed last night and martial law is in
effect, with important changes
pending, but reports from reliable
sources indicate that a peaceful So
luton will be found. ..
The Turkish Nationalists continue
to menace the strait of the Darda-
nelles, and are entrenching in the
neutral zone, which they refuse to
recognize. The British military COM
mand has given them 4S hours in
which to retire, and is preparing
three lines of entertainments in the
region from Pandik to Yarinje, along
the Anatolian railway.
In addition to Eren Keui and Kun
Kalesi, the Kemalists are in possess
sion of Bigha. A special dispatch
not confirmed from any other, source,
says occupation of the latter place
was accompanied by the massacre Of
the entire Greek and Armenian pop
ulation, numbering about 900.
The British commanders are con-
fident they can keep the Turks from
crossing the straits Of capturing
Constantinople until the arrival Of
the formidable reinforcements now
on the way.
The reply of the Angora govern
ment to the joint Allied note, out
lining the conditions under which a
peace conference could be held, is
anxiously awaited, but it is feared
that even an acceptance would not
relieve the present situation to any
great extent as the Turks are under

sidewalks or grassy golf links. slosh-

mud, and encountering the inevitable
hardships and thrills that decorate
the path OF any intrepid prospector
Often the rigors of her search re-

eating too much rich food or drinking
too much tea. especially on those
days when she sets out to explore in
such places as Pierre's or the Ambas-

futile days in these diggings, the pic

some new field-explore the aasles of
a department store or agencies where
