METHODIST PROTESTANT NEWS

The pageant of Bethlehem was
presented before one of the largest
assemblages ever known in our
church. 1t was an inspiration to the
cast to do their best and it would
indeed be a task to single out any
one character for special mention,
as credit should be given the entire
cast as a whole for the efficient and
pleasing manner in which it was
presented. The choir, the orchestra,
the lighting and decorating commit
tees all helped to make the pageant
a real success.
We wish to thank the spectators
for their many kind words in appre-
citation of the efforts of our church
on this holiday occasion, and to ex-
tend a hearty welcome to all of our
services.
The meetings of the Senior Chris
tian Endeavor Society each Sunday
evening at GAS are proving to be
very interesting. Come early to the
evening services and enjoy these
meetings. The leader for next Sun
day evening will be Miss Anna
Smith.

The Christmas sermons by the
pastor on Christmas morning and
Sunday morning were much appre-
ciated and enjoyed by large congre-
cations, and brought more fully to
our minds just what the birth of
Christ means to the world. About
seventy-five persons were present on
Christmas morning at 6 o'clock and
were amply repaid for the sacrifice
made in coming out at an early
hour.
May our lives this coming year
show more fully the traits of char
acter which Christ showed while
upon earth.

A SOIL PROBLEM

A soil problem peculiar to several
southern States occurs in what is
known as the sand-hill belt. This
begins just south of Sanford, N. c.,
extends across South. Carolina, and
in more narrow belt, across Geor-
gia, and terminates in Lee County,
Ala. In this strip the soils are COM
posed largely of sand and are natur-
ally deficient in the elements of
plant food. The region for the most
part is undevelOped agriculturally.
The growing of peaches and dewber-
ries in certain localities has recently
suggested agricultural possibilities.
For this reason the Bureau of Soils
of the United States Department of
Agriculture has been asked to CO.
operate with the South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station in locating a
branch station on typical Norfolk
sand in the sand-hill region, where
a test farm will be conducted. Here
these sandy soils will be studied
with a view to making them produc-
tive.

OPPOSE R. R. BRIDGE
0NUPPERPO
Takoma Park Citizens Pro-
test Proposal as Injurious
to Suburbs.

The Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation expressed opposition to the
construction and maintenance of
railroad bridge across the upper Po.
tomac River at meeting In the
Takoma Public Library, corner Fifth
and Cedar streets, last night.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Newton of Missouri authorizes
the Washington and Loughborough
Terminal and Belt Line Railroad to
construct and maintain bridge over
the Potomac a short distance beyond
the District line and for "A belt line
railroad through lower Montgomery
Country In Maryland. Those opposing
the proposition pointed out that it
would be Injurious to the suburban
sections bordering the District and
especially the Sligo and Long Branch
valleys just north of Takoma Park.
Attention was called to the fact
that an unusual number of trains
2ass daily through this city and with
the construction of belt line much
OF this traffic might be diverted, thus
relieving the congested conditions
now being experienced.
The recent grade crossing accident
at Chestnut street was discussed and
the association voted favorable action

and offered resolution Censuring
him for his failure to act in matter
which he said was of such vital i'm
portance to Montgomery County. He
pointed out, in discussing the resolu.
ton. that the Reservation grew out of
the mass meeting organized to oppose
the belt line railroad. and that the
stand of the people of Montgomery
County against it was well known,
and, in fact. the matter has been pre-.
sented direct to Representative Zihl-
man. He charged that Mr.. Zihlman
had thrown down his constituents
&. w. Miller of Chevy Chase and Fred
Page of Fort Bavard Hills. thought
that the matter should be laid aside
until Representative Zihlman could

his failure to act. w. e. Shoemaker
Of Drummond. while indorsing the
resolution and letter which Oliver
Owen Kuhn, president of the fedora :
ton had sent to Mr.. Zihlman, said
that the association should not take
precipitate action.
Mr.. Kuhn surrendered the gavel to
George III. Lamar of Rockville and
spoke against the belt line project
and ON Mr.. Zihlman's failure to act
j. Bond Smith of Takoma Park said
there was nothing undignified in the
resolution, and that while Mr.. Zihl-
man had done much for the county
and district nevertheless he should
be assured of just how the federation
stood and felt on the matter and
where he fell down. He said that the
place for Mr. Zihlman, at the time
the measure was up before the House
was in his seat. and he should not
have left the matter for Senator O. F..
Weller of Maryland to fight out in
the Senate. He is entitled TO know
where the federation stands and to
know it now, he concluded.

said that the matter was before the

Senator Bingham of Connecticut is

such structure would imperil from
$40, 100000 to $50, 900 900 in residential
property in the community, and said
that the belt line project had been con-
demned by citizens associations in
Maryland, by the Montgomery County
commissioners, by civic organizations

Maj. Lee recommended that the
matter of having a police substation

near the center of Betheda as possible
