Special Dispatch TO The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 30.-The Curb
Market at the outset of the week was
confronted with heavy realizing sales
in number of recent favorites which
served to bring about further reac.
ton at the beginning of trading. But
the market absorbed these with little
difficulty and 1t soon became evident
that the line of least resistance still
lay on the side of advancing prices.
The upward movement in the oil
shares which got under way last
week was not resumed, but there
was no attempt TO offer prices down
in this quarter. The best opinion
was that they had not discounted
the improvement in the industry and
that in any renewed attempt to bring
about higher prices in the industrial
shares generally the oils would be
looked upon favorably. The belief.
more than anything else. accounted
for the disposition on the part of
those who have been carrying these
stocks for many months to maintain
their position.

New Church Is Rapidly Nearing
Completion at 42d and Abe

The new ST. Columbas Episcopal
Church. at Forty-second and Albemarle
streets, is rapidly nearing completion.
Practically all stone and steel con-
struction and the slate roof are IN
place The numerous windows, sew
eral of which have already arrived
from Philadelphia, are made of I'M
ported glasses.
The largest and most important win
dow set in the rear of the chancel was
dedicated with brief ceremonies 1mme-
diately following the Christmas eve
services held in the temporary church
building adjoining the new structure.
The congregation marched in process
sion into the new edifice at midnight
and assembled about the window. Rev
William w. Shearer, rector, conducted
the ceremony.
The window is approximately Is feet
high. The central figure of Christ en-
throned in glory is large and majestic
The world is His footstool; about it
are employed the symbols of the four
evangelists, the winged man of St
Matthew. the winged OK of st. Luke,
the winged lion of St. Mark and the
eagle of st. John. Around these and
flowing from the throne are streams
of 1.-The River of the Water of Life. !"

There is a type of preacher abroad

he is hail fellow we'll met" with
everybody in town. He is popular
with the rotten politicians, the wine
bibbers, the worldlians, the covetous
and the hard. He speaks at all the
banquets of the clubs, the horse

gatherings and mass meetings for
civic betterment. But at heart, alas.
he is often a false prophet, a time
server and a moral mollycoddle.
Everything goes with him, and he
has Wishbone instead of a backbone.
Woe unto him. for in the fullness of
time the divine judgment will fall
upon him, and then the praise of the
worldly, the frivolous and the vain
will avail him not a whit

DR.. SMITH ADDED
TO CRUSADE LIST
Rector of st. Thomas Church
Assigned to Florida in
Bishops Campaign.

Rev. DR.. G. Ernest Smith, rector of
st. Thomas Church, this city, has
been added to the list of crusaders
going out from Washington to assist
in the bishops crusade. DR.. Smith
will be assigned to the Diocese OF
South Florida. The Diocese of Wash
ington will contribute five clergymen
to the crusade in addition to Bishop
Freeman, who is member of the
commission on evangelism, which is
organizing the crusade. Bishop Free
man will preach in New York City
during the period of the crusade.
The crusaders are receiving instruc-
tons from the central office, which is
located at the National Cathedral, con-
corning the object and plan of the
crusade. The bishops crusade Is not
drive either for money or for an in
creased membership in the Episcopal
Church. The object of the crusade,
as defined by Bishop Brent, one of its
leaders, is "to lift the whole level
of church life to a higher plane. 1t
is easy enough to stir people to eX-
ceptional effort for period of a
week or two weeks. That, however,
is exactly what we want to avoid.
Our desire is to set new pace that
will be continued year in and year out.
We crusaders must avoid anything
that will tend to merely momentary
emotion and must place all that we
do upon a solid foundation, such as
will endure the test of time and eX-
perience.
To-day there is great breach be.
tween our professions as Christians
and our practice, Sunday religion is
altogether too prominent in our re-
ligious life. The Christian man must
deliberately set himself to discover
what is the Christian way of life.
The citizen, in all his relations with
the nation, must bring to bear the
teaching of Christ on his conception
of his own nation and it's relations
to other nations This is equally true
relative to our domestic affairs.
Now, all this indicates that in our
preparation there must be continually
kept in mind the permanence of the
place to which we are endeavoring
to rise. 1t must be impressed on the
clergy that they are setting a new
pace for the flock, and that there may
be no abatement after the days of the
crusade lest our last state be worse
than our first. Conventions must be
disregarded, customs scrutinized, ira
ditions reviewed. Anything that is
discovered that may be contrary to
the way of Jesus Christ must be sac
rificed and offered as q burnt offer
