STRIKING AT A GREAT TRUTH

Refusing to support any movement toward the enactment of blue-law legislation, the Lutheran Church has issued a statement thru the Ameri- can Lutheran Publicity bureau
 follows: We deplore the activity so openly displayed by a large part of American Professionalism in secular and political affairs, and hold that such activity is a diversion of force from the exclusively spiritual mission of the Christian church"
 This significant statement may bring forth expression of divided opinion among churchmen, yet there is a growing tendency to more sharply define the objects of all in- stitutional activity. It appears to be based upon the principle that the pri- mary objects of an organization or institution once defined, that insti- tuition or organization finds it's great est strength in adhering closely to it's primary objects. Many hold that the church, while not directly engag- ed in the advocacy of temporal leg islation, should so dominate it's mem bers with spiritual force that, as in dividuals, they will go out into the world fitted to give expression to the church's ideals in the secular chan nels of activity to just and worthy legislation. t.

PLAN NEW DRIVE
/ FOR TEMPLE FUND
Masons to Launch Campaign
/ for So, 100000 at Dinner
+ at Auditorium.

Thirteen hundred Masons, repre-
eenting the AZ lodges of the District
Of Columbia, together with other
committees in charge of the Masonic
Temple fund campaign, will gather
at dinner Thursday evening in the
new Washington Auditorium.
This dinner will mark the formal
launching of the campaign to raise
fund of approximately $4,000 900 to
complete payment on Temple
Heights, site for the proposed new
United Masonic Temple, and TO
finance the building thereon. Since
the purchase of this site many COM
mittees representing Masonic build
ing projects In other cities through
out the country have visited Wash
ington in their tour of the country
TO see what is doing in similar
projects and thes committees unani-
mously declared Temple Heights is,
without doubt, the most suitable and
most beautiful plot devoted to this pur-
pose to be found anywhere in the United
States.
1900 Members Here.
The campaign about to be under
taken contemplates careful solicita-
zion of more than 1900 resident
Masons, members of local blue
lodges. These Will be interviewed by
members of the 1SO teams. The first
campaign meeting, following Thurs
day nights opening, will be for the
purpose of affording the $50 teams
of six men each an opportunity to
report their progress and results.
This will be held Monday, April 20,
at a luncheon meeting in the audi
torium of the City Club. Similar
meetings will be held each day
thereafter, excepting Sunday, up to
and including April 2S.
By that time it is confidently ex-
pected that every Mason in the Dis
trict will have been interviewed and
his subscription given. Members of
the fraternity are being asked for
outright gifts toward the fund. Dur
ing the past two years 10000 of the
Masons of the city have made gifts
of varying amounts to this same pur-
pose. They will be asked in the
present movement to make additional
gifts in the shape Of subscriptions,
the committee asking them to pay
for over a period of two and one-half
years.
Eugene Z. Thompson is chairman
of the campaign. Col Robert y.
Harper is chairman of the principal
committee, that is functioning in ad-
dition TO the many teams. He and 50
associates are in charge of special ad-
vance subscriptions
In addition to the 1900 Masons re-
siding in Washington. there are $500
members of the local lodges who now
reside out of the city. They, too,
are being reached by a committee
composed of one member from each
lodge, and headed by Robert S.
Regar chairman.
During the six weeks preparatory
period of the campaign, Past Grand
Master Cyrus c. Coombs and his COM
