Of colored schools in the South, is be-

II report there are l63 Congregational
churches among the colored race
which are struggling toward self sup
port. Twenty-three churches are al
ready self-supporting. Last year they
spent sl24.l07 on themselves and gave
s23.1 to missions through Congrega-
tional societies. These churches, it
will be recommended, must be fostered
for a number Of years longer by the
association.
Various Races Helped.
The American Missionary Associa-

church work among the Indians. Porto

IS helping others to become self-re-

the officers, than working for them.

l do not see any diminution in the
steadfastness of the religious convic-
tions of the people. If these were
broken down, society might go on for
a time under its own momentum, but
it would be headed for destruction. We
do not possess any other enlighteninS
force. We do not have any other
hope for the reform and perfection of
society. There is no other method by
which we can have life and have it
more abundantly.
While I have pointed out some Of
the difficulties and perils with which
we are threatened at the present
time, and while I believe we may well
heed them and be warned by them.
1t is by no means my desire to sound
any note of discouragement.
The very fact that amid all the
complexities and distractions Of our
present life We are still maintain
ing unimpaired the foundation of our
institutions, constantly increasing the
rectitude with which the great bust
ness affairs of our country are con-
Quoted. all the while improving our
educational facilities. answering more
and more generously to the calls of
public and private charity, CON
tinually enlarging the field of art, Civ
ing more and more attention to the
humdnltieS, and becoming more and
more responsive to spiritual things.
appears to me to he incontroyertible
evidence that though it may be prac-
ticed in a somewhat different manner
than formerly the deep and abiding
faith of our people in religion has not
diminished, but has increased.
II have tried to Indicate what
think the country needs in the way Of
help under present conditions. 1t
needs more religion. If there are any
general failures In the enforcement of
the law, II is because there have first
been general failures in the DISPOSE
ton to observe the law. ! can CON
ceive Of no adequate remedy for the
evils which beset society except
through the influence of religion.
There is no form OF education which
will not fail. there is no form Of gov
ernment which will not fail. there is
no form of reward which will not fail.
Redemption must come through SaCri-
fee. and sacrifice is the essence of re
ligion. 1t will be of untold benefit II
there is a broader comprehension Of
this principle by the public and a CON
tinued preaching of this crusade by
the clergy. 1t is only through these
avenues, by constant renewal and
extension of our faith, that we can
expect to enlarge and improve the
moral and spiritual life of the Nation
Without that faith all that we have of
an enlightened civilization cannot en-
dure."

PLEADS FOR IDEAL
Of THE PILGRIMS
Democracy of Love Upheld
by DR.. Potter, Moderator
of CongregationaIists.

A continuation of the democratic
ideal of the Pilgrim fathers was plead
ed for by Rev. DIR. Rockwell Harmon
Potter, retiring moderator of the Ma
tional Council of Congregational
Churches, in an address last night
which brought to a close the first day
of the nine-day conclave of the twenty
first biennial meeting of the council.
Rev. DR.. Potter's address followed
that of President Coolidge.
Democracy" DR. Potter declared
twas the characteristic of the life
of the early Christians. The bond
uniting the Christians Of the first
century was love. This same principle
of love is in the church today.
I'VE have tried the Puritan prin-
ciple that in the gospel Of Jesus Mt
the heart of our ancient faith there
lies the secret of the worlds hope
the possibility of the bleSSednesS Of
human life wrought in the fashion and
in the power of the eternal love Of
God.
Faith in Christianity.
I'VE have tried the Puritan principle
of Christian fellowship and we find 1t
good.
I'VE believe that through it we are
learning how to tell the love story of
the world. We are come to bear wit
ness to the experience that is ours. AT
a time when the hearts OF the CHRIST
ian world are Saddened by the surface
disSenSions and disputes that so quick
Ily catch the eye and the ear of a world
all too ready TO point the finger of
SCorn, we eagerly testify that Chris
tan fellowship is possible without obe-
dience to orga nization, without identity
of opinion. without slavish following
Of &c m
achieved by unity Of spirit, by com
nunity of feeling. by the united fol
lowing of an ideal. by united sharing
in a common purpose, by united un-
dertaking of great enterprise for the
enlightenment Of the mind with the
knowledge of God and for the empow
ering OF the will with energy to fulfill
the divine purpose.
I'VE dare to believe that our unity
is real. we dare to believe that 1t is
efficient We dare to hope that ii may
become eloquent-eloquent to tell the
story of the love of God for all man
kind.
Unity of Spirit.
Here at the Nations Capital we are
heartened in this our faith. for so is
unity being achieved in the Nation.
Not solely by loyalty toa common pa
trOitiC tradition are we one out OF
many, certainly not by identity of po-
liticaI opinion. much less by enforced
submission and obedience TO authorita-
tive centralized control. We are will
inglv. early, effectively, and eloquentiy
becoming one people by unity of spirit,
by common quest for the greater
social values, by increasing conviction
that the purpose Of God leads America
onward in the family of nations upon
a path of honorable service for the
welfare Of her people and for the good
of mankind.
The Federal principle which in po-
litical life is making America Ma
tion-is it not in the church of the
living God the Puritan principle OF
Christian fellowship? May it not
achieve the answer to the prayer OF
the Lord Jesus and increasingly, effec-
lively. and eloquently tell the story of
the eternal love so that mankind shall
hear and hearing, believe, and believ-
ing. achieve. and achieving, rejoice?'

OF the court house by the erstwhile

legal advice.
"Desist," they told him. at is
bad enough for visitors to have TO pass

The tout became indignant. Indeed,
he became indiscreet and told the Off
Gers to go TO Halifax, or other such
place.
Credit the tout with a tactical
error. His arrest followed and a charge
of vsgrancy was preferred against
him. he was compelled to make 500
bond before he was released.
Such summary action caused other
hangers-on to take the hint they were
not wanted about the court house.

s. A. PROTESTS
HIGH RA ES
ON COTTON
Chamber Of Commerce
Asked to Block Pro-
posed Raise.

Agricultural and shipping interests
in San Antonio's trade territory Sat
urday appealed to the Chamber OF
Commerce to protest the granting Of
an application which has been made
by the Texas-Louisiana Tariff Bureau
to the Texas Railroad Commission for
permission for an advance in the
rates on cotton for export.
The effect Of the increase, If grant
ed, will be to add Is cents to the cost
of transportation Of every bale Of
cotton in Texas which goes for ex-
port.
Business men, growers and others
who are protesting to the Chamber of
Commerce, according to 9. b. Yandell,
general manager, represent that the
increase is unjustified, for lack o,
proof that the present rates of the
railroad are not compensatory.
ROADS PROSPEROUS.
Their further objection to the in
crease is that the cotton carrying roads
of the state are in a very prosperous
condition and that their net revenues
for the past IL months have been
larger than at any time for the past
eight years.
1t is pointed out that large areas in
Texas are faced with the worst crop
failures for many years, and that part
of Central Texas which in 1924 pro-
duced 100000 bales probably will
not produce more than 100000 bales
this season.
BOARD TO DECIDE.
The Chamber of Commerce has not
taken formal action on the protest, but
the matter will be submitted to the
board of directors soon with view
TO securing authority with which to
lodge formal protest with the Texas
Railroad Commission against the pro-
posed increased tariff.
