ST. PETERS CHURCH NOTES
Rev. Thomas Getz Hill, Rector, An
nOunce Services for Week and Sunday

Rev. Thomas Getz Hill, Rector, An
nOunce Services for Week and Sunday
Church business should be conduct
ed just like any other business! Is
that true? Some people do not think
so. And the result is that the Church
is always either in debt, or else beg
ging for money. Many have not made
their pledges for the work of the
Church for the year 1925. When the
VeStry makes its plans for the year,
it decides that the Rector shall have
so much salary, the janitOr and the
OrganiSt shall have so much, the coal
and the light and the water and all
the other things that are necessary
for the comfort and convenience of
the people shall cost so much. And
then it goes out to the people and
says to them, GLOW much of this ex-
pense will you share? Some come
right out and say, Eve will give so
much every week so that the bills may
be paid as they become due. And
that is good. But, alas, there are
others who either neglect to say any
thing and just put off and put off
from day to day and week to week,
or else they say, 81 don't like to
pledge myself to anything" But,
again, suppose the Vestry were to go
to the coal dealer or the town or the
janitor or the Rector, and say eve
want some coal Cor light or service)
and while We do not like to pledge
ourselves to anything, we will give
you just what we can from time to
time l say, suppose that should
happen, how long would there be any
Church, do you suppose? Well, that
is exactly the situation. Let all those
who have not as yet sent in a pledge,
decide on the amount they can reason
ably expect to pay and send it in at
once. Then if more can be added
from time to time, all the better. At
least, then, the Vestry can know the
minimum amount it can obligate the
church for. Little more than half the
pledges are in as yet. There will be
usual service on Wednesday night at
half past seven, OllOwed by the choir
rehearsal. For Sunday, January Is,
there will be church school at 10 am;
Holy Communion and sermon at IL
a. m; and EvensOng with sermon at
7.30 p. m. The collections of gold
and silver and other jewels for the
Japan Reconstruction Fund, are being
made this week by the members of
the Girls Friendly Society. Please
give them what you have.

could be done without impairing the
efficiency of the organization involv-

alton of the Legislature a suggestion
that all State revenue be assigned to
the general fund and expenditures

ommends that the appropriations to

Do you possibly think, Mrs. Pres
colt. that the charming hostess OF
the most exquisite party / have ever
attended would condescend TO dance
with an humble but most devoted
courtier?" Mr.. Sartoris asked.
''Oh. Mr.. Sartoris, am sorry n !
have neglected you.' replied. Attic

around.
But you have not neglected me,
dear lady. How could you when you
evidently did not know was pres.
ent. You seem to be able TO recog.
nize my voice easier than my face.
for you have looked quito thru me
and past me many times tonight.
Always when have followed the di.
rection OF your eyes they have been
upon your husband. He is a fortu-
nate man"
Perhaps, he may not think that.
However. Will answer your request
for dance in the same language in
which you have asked for II. / have
been wondering, Mr.. Sartoris, where
the best dancer have ever known
has been hiding, for I protest to you
that my eyes have not rested upon
you all this evening. / am very glad.
however. that at last you have come
and asked me to be your partner in
this dance, and accept the great
privilege with alacrity"
Mr.. Sartoris colored and / was a
little sorry that 1 had made fun OF
his very formal flattery. To make up
for 1t. 1 asked: "of course you dance
the tango, Mr. Sartoris? / see the
orchestra has started to play one Of

You're incorrigiblc." / whispered.
II can neither ridicule nor froyn

TAXI DRIVERS
FIGHT POLICE
PERSECUTION
to Make
Spivak a Test Case
Especial 10 The Daily Worker)
(Taxl Driver, w. CO.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The license
of Isador Spivak, taxicab driver was
suspended by order of Deputy Police
Commissioners John DAILY, in charge Of
the license department of the police
department. The reason that the police
gave for the suspension of this work
ers license, thus depriving him Of
earning a living, was that while driv-
ing, with fare in his cab, he was
smoking, and a complaint was made
and the suspension followed
Spivak was represented in court by
John O'Brien, counsel, for the Anal
gamated Taxi Association, of which
he is a member. O'Brien sought a
change of venue to the state license
commissioner, contending that DAILY,
the police commissioner, had no juris
diction, because of the ruling last
week of the appellate division, that the
notorious police taxicab bill and other
laws passed by the local assembly,
were unconstitutional. The request
for a change of venue was, of course,
refused.
The Amalgamated, announced its
intention of making the conviction a
test case of the whole police supervi-
sion and will appeal to the higher
courts.

'AVIAKHIM' IN
FRATERNAL NOTE
TO KUOMINTANC
Air and Chemical Socie-
ty Wires China

MOSCOW, June 1S-(By MaiD-
The "Aviakhim," which means the
Air and Chemical Defense Society, has
sent the following telegram to the
Executive Committee of the Kuomin-
tang and the Central Council of Trade
Unions of China.
1T is with undated attention that
three million workers and peasants, or
ganized in the Aviakhim, are following
the development of events in China.
Two years ago, to the arrogant ulti-
matum Of the British Imperialism the
Russian city proletariat and peasants
responded by offering resolute resis-
lance and creating mass public or
ganization aiming at strengthening
the defense Of the Soviet Union.
To-day, the toiling masses OF
China, with whose people We are con.
nected with fraternal ties, are rising
against the inhuman oppression OF
foreign Imperialism, against enslaving
laws and treaties under which is suf-
fering great nation. A storm of in.
dignation and wrath has been reused
in our ranks by the brutal shooting OF
unarmed workers of your country by
the police of the depressing powers.
I'VE are with you; we send our
warmest greetings to those who direct
the struggle for the national liberia
ton of the Chinese people-the Com
4
China, which are carrying on Sun Vat
sens work, and the Central Council Of
the labor unions Of China And we
firmly believe that victory will be on
your side We are convinced that all
the public forces of awakened China
will follow the same paths as those
they tread In the Soviet Republics
