Church spoke in the afternoon.
Israel Church's historical back
ground dates back to 1920. when
the body drew out of the OLD
Ebenezer Methodist EpiscopaI
Church and spoined the African
Methodist Episcopal Church con-
nection. In 1872 there was another
church split, the majority OF the
body going over to the Coloreu
Methodist Episcopal denomination.
The newly organized body razeo
the old church building which had
been standing on the same plot at
the foot of the United States Cap
ito1 since 1928 and erected the
present edifice. It was in the old
church that Wendell Phillips, Thad
stevens and Ben F.. Wade spoke.
The passing Of the present church
building Ii expected very soon, as
the Government plans to clear up
the land at the foot or the Capitoi
for a future park.

PILE Up HUGE
RESOURCES
BY w. S. COUSINS
International News service

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Mounting
corporation profits of the last three
S,Y foIlr wears hae been largely re-
tained in the form OF extensive addi-
fions to manufacturing capacity;
cash and securities is the treasury,
or liberal investment in the COM
mon stocks of affiliated or allied
enterprises. with a view to closer al
liances, possibly merger at some
future date. -.
While some corporations have been
unusually liberal in the distribution
AZ actual cash to their stockholders,
retaining less than so per cent OF
earnings each year for surplus
funds. others have seen fit to ex-
press their regard for shareholders
through the stock-dividend channels.
Big Cash Resources
The first method is most desir-
able for powerful industrial enter
prises which have completed their
mechanical and physical growth and
have no need of adding to any
large extent to plants or productive
machinery, the second by the indus
trial concerns which can turn a
dollar over more profitably in their
own works than by lining the
pockets of its stockholders.
At-least this is the paternalistic
attitude of some of the directors or
the corporations, who are adept at
explanations and excuses Tor their
occasional lapses into nigardliness
at dividend time.
One result of the huge multiple
cation of profits in recent years.
combined in some instances with re-
sort to stock dividends instead OF
cash dividends as the method of ex-
pressing affection for stockholders,
has been the accumulation of large
cash resources in the treasures of
such concerns as the General Motors
Corporation, Allied Chemical COrpo-
ration, United States Steel Corpora
ton, Standard Oils, International
Harvester. etc.
No one can accuse the General
Motors Corporation of stinginess in
the matter of dividends. the direc-
tors having adhered quite closely to
the policy of paying to holders of
the common stock about so cents
on every dollar of earning appli-
cable to that stock. leaving the re-
naming 40 cents for requirements
and expansion: yet this corporation
is now groaning along with a bur-
den of nearly S275. 900 900 cash and
securities in its vaults.
