THOUSAND PASTORRS

FoIIoWlng an editorial bearing this
caption, the Pilgrim Congrega-
tional church of Oak Park, Illinois,
worked out a plan by which every
member OF Pilgrim church was to
call upon every other member dur
ing the space of month. The plan
was to emphasize the spirit and
practice of real Christian brother
hood, and social barriers were for
the time forgotten In the effort to
bring the membership to a realiza-
ton of the unity of believers. 1t Is
claimed that the effect upon tho life
of Pilgrim church has been far
reaching. During tho month of visi-
tation, the banker called upon the
laborer, the labor called upon the
merchant. the wife OF tho captilist

to st. Louis, where her air navy crew
will participate In the international
air races.
1t was not yet dawn when the

ible warped out OF the hangar and
paid out the cables until she had
reached an altitude of 1000 feet.
At the thousand-foot elevation the
ZR-1 encountered a 35-mile northwest
wind. AS she turned her nose to the
west Commander Frank r. McCrary
sent wireless message to the
ground, saying: "On way to st. Lou.

Among the AZ officer and men IL

as an observer for the army.
The tour of the Fri was designed
to test the ability OF her type to meet
the varied atmospheric conditions
