Funeral services over the re-

Wednesday, November IL, 1880,
was held at the First African Bap-

Days Are Gliding Swiftly By"
and Nearer Ny God to Thee were
sung by the choir as the funeral
cortege moved slowly down the
aisle of the historic house of wor.
ship. The preacher, DR.. W. T.
Johnson, took as the subject of
his discourse, Faithful" from
the scriptural text "Be We faithful
INTO DEATH" and spoke feelingly
and eloquently of the career Of
the veteran Christian who had at
last received a crown of right
.eousness. He exhorted his hear.
ers to emulate the example of this
fallen saint. MI. Albert Trib-
bett sang "God will take care Of

MINISTERIAL ETHICS.
Continued from page one)

any way the unreliability Of a fellow
minister to a promicuous assembly.
(e) 1t is unethical for a minister
to take the opportunity on special
occasions to exhalt himself and be-
little the pastor by saying that he is
able to preach a gospel that the
pastor is afraid to preach.
2. So far as the pastoral relation is
concerned.
l. 1t is unethical for one minister
to play the part of Pastor in another
Pastors church because he is invited
there.
2. 1t is unethical for a minister to
assume that because he is a minister
that he has a right to take charge of
a fellow minister's work without his
consent or approval.
8. In the matter of preaching fun
erals it is unethical for another
preacher to rush in and preach with
out regard to the wishes of The
Pastor.
A. 1t is unethical to accept en-
gagements with a fellow minister
and purposely break it, without a
justifiable reason.
5. 1t is unethical for a minister to
rush into the sick room of the mem-
Der of a fellow Pastor and seek to
leave the impression that he is more
c~onsiderate for him in his affic-
ton than the Pastor.
While the foregoing are sufficient
for hours of discussion yet we will
ada the following by urging you to
avoid some evil practices extant a.
mOng us:
Namely:
Entering the pulpits of fellow
Pastors upon the invitation of clubs
and individuals without first con-
fering with the fellow pastor.
preaching funerals of members
OF fellow ministers without notifying
sand pastor and securing his consent.
3-Advlsing members of the
churches of fellow Pastors with re-
gard to plans and methods to cir
cumvent the plans and purposes of
said Pastors.
ITO make reference concerning
fellow Pastors to members of said
Pastors which are calculated to
change the attitude of such mem
bers toward their Pastors making
them less loyal and often hostile.
BIT is unethical for any Pastor
who has been elevated to the Pas
torate, to belittle the work of the
pastor, whom he succeeds as Pastor.
Trusting that what we have said
nay be food for thought, I am most
cordially yours,

thousands of hosiery workers in
Reading and its suburbs have gone on
strike against drastice wage cuts put

The wage cutting movement was
begun by the Berkshire Knitting

mills followed the example of the
Berkshire, forcing wages down to
near starvation levels and compelling
the workers to strike.
In addition to cutting wages, the
Reading mills have also instituted a
stretch out" system and waged ruth
less war on unionism, consistently
discharging workers who joined the
union, and maintaining an elaborate
espionage system to spy on the
workers.
Devision to strike was made at a

EICHT-HOUR DAY
Proposed to Aid Idle Long
ShOremen

New Orleans -(ILNS)-A plan to
relieve some of the unemployed here
was outlined in an open letter from
the Stevedores and Longshoremen's
Benevolent Society. The letter was
signed by T. J. Darcy, president of
Union No. 1926, and five other execu-
tives of the union, comprising the
organization committee of the Inter
national Longshoremen's Association.
The letter follows:
Relative to the unemployment
situation in this city, we wish to
bring before the public and parties
interested a concrete fact and remedy
which is available Immediately All
ships entering this port and operating
under control of the New Orleans
Steamship Association under the
open shop plan are working a ten
hour day An eight-hour work day
on all ships entering this port would
Immediately take 500 to 800 idle men
off the streets, and proper division of
work on the river front would take
care of hundreds more.
"We are ready to give all facts and
figures we have in our possession
relative to river front work to any
agency interested. We will gladly
