GOOD WILL TALKS
Bishop DepIoreS World Wide
DiSobedience of Com
mandments.

Fraternal messengers brought greet
ings to the International Convention of
the Disciples of Christ yesterday aft
ernoon from other religious organiza-
lions and from members of the brother
hood in foreign lands.
Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop
of Washington, was the first bearer of
greetings from the Episcopal Church
and Bishop William F. Mcdowell of
the Methodist Church addressed the
assemblage on behalf of that denomi-
nation. Greetings also were extended
by Rev. G. Wallace Petty of the First
Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pa; Rev.
DR.. Jason Noble Pierce of the First
Congregational Church, ]. E. Thomas
of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; Rev.
Walter M. White of Memphis, Tenn,
one of the Disciples representatives to
the churches of Great Britain, and
Rev. George A. Campbell of st. Louis,
chairman Of the Federal Relations
Committee.
DepIores Christian Disobedience.
Bishop Mcdowell said that after
1900 years 1T is regrettable to have
to say that in my opinion there is
not a single nation obeying Christ's
commandments or thinking seriously of

made in many ways" AS for unity,
Bishop Mcdowell expressed the hope
that the different churches would CO.
operate in such way that presently
they would find themselves without
trying to get together.
Mr.. Thomas brought greetings from
$50, 900 Disciples in Australia and New
Zealand. He said the Disciples from
those countries here for the world con-
vention, had just come through the
Holy Land, Europe and Great Britain
and brought with them greetings from
prime ministers and premiers. Rev. Mr.
White spoke of his recent visit to Eng
land as representative of the Chris
tan Church and stressed the importance
which he found the British churches
laid upon the communion service.
Predicts Transformation Of World.
DR.. Pierce said that while the Con-
gregationaliStS was one of the smaller
bodies, with fewer churches than last
year, they nevertheless had a larger
He said he personally
would rathr belong to a communion
that had men that stood for things that
in the long run would attract his adj
than to one that merely
counted numbers. DR.. Pierce prayed
that the Disciples would not leave
Washington without grasping some of
the practical things that would lead to
the transformation of the world.

NEW CONSCIOUSNESS URGED
UPON CHRISTIAN YOUTH HERE
Rev. R. w. Burns Says Prob
lens Before Disciples Con-
Germ Young Mostly.
President Cites Values of
Worldwide Fellowship in
Convention Talk.

Sessions of the Youth convention Of
the Disciples of Christ, which opened
late yesterday with deliberations on the
part of leaders among hundreds of
young people In attendance, will con-
tinue this afternoon at the Luther Place
Memorial Church on Thomas Circle.
Rev. Robert w. Burns of Atlanta,
Ga, minister of the Peachtree Church,
in his presidential address to the con-
vention, the third of its kind declared
that it is impossible to place too much
emphasis on the fact that this is es-
sentially Christian youth convention.
While we are interested in the world
as we find it now, for out of it we want
to build the world as it ought to be, yet
we have no more compelling factor
than the ideals of Jesus for us.
Urges New Consciousness.
"Our convention has a world out
look" Mr.. Burns said. I'VE meet in a
great world capital. Delegates are here
from many nations. We are to dis
cuSs themes with a worldwide impli-
cation. There will be days of living
in a world atmosphere. Out Of them
ought to come a new consciousness of
our relation to all the world"
Mr.. Burns declared that the prob
lens before the convention are the
real problems of the youth of the land
"A fine, high note of earnestness has
always marked the discussions of our

FARMERS MARKET
PROTEST IS FILED
Commission Merchants Declare
Space Used Unfairly by Men
Not Producers.

Alleging unfair competition in bust
ness methods by certain persons in the
Farmers Market, south side of B street
between Seventh and Thirteenth streets.
commission merchants on the north
side Of B street between Ninth and
Tenth streets have entered a protest
with the District Commissioners.
1.-THE south side Of B street between
Seventh and Thirtscnth streets has
been designated as a Farmers Market"
it was stated in communication to the
Commissioners by one Of the merchants.
land We wish to advise you that it is
everything but a Farmers Market"
In the letter the belief is expressed
that so per cent of the space allotted
TO farmers is occupied by men who do
not grow vegetables and vino DO not
represent any farmer. 1t was further
pointed out that these men pay no
rent or license and have no overhead
and that produce handled by them
changes hands several times before it
reaches the consumer
The District Commissioners were in
formed in the letter that il is regarded
unfair TO permit these conditions to
exist and suggested that the class of
persons complained of would not be in
business if they had to pay rents and
licenses the same as commission mer-
chants are required TO do.
One commission merchant today
called attention to a big truckload of
spinach which. he said, was bought in
Philadelphia and brought here to be
disposed of in the Farmers Market.
He also called attention to the quanti-
ties of onions which. he declared came
from Indiana and which, he said were
being offered for sale in the section
known as Farmers Market.
The letter received by the Commits
sioners has been referred TO George NJ.
Roberts, sealer of weights and meas
ures and superintendent Of markets,
for investigation.

WOMAN, IS, Is ACTIVE
IN DICIPLES' MEETING
Miss Kate P. DUNCAN Has Been
Member of Vermont Avenue
Church for SO Years.

member of the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church for SO years, Miss
Kate p. DUNCAN, who resides at the
Valois Apartments, 1880 Massachusetts
avenue, is an attendant at the Inter-
national Convention of the Disciples of
Christ, and at the age of Sc is taking
an active part in the meetings.
Miss Dungan's father, Francis d.
DUNCAN, was the minister of the First
Christian Church in Baltimore, a
church which was dedicated by Alex
ander Campbell as the Church Of the
Disciples, located at Parker and Lom-
bard streets. Mr.. Campbell, the founder
of the church, was heard in its pulpit
by Miss DUNCAN when she was 10 years
old. The church later became the
Harlem Avenue Christian Church and
is now First Church, under leadership
OF Rev. M. Gottschall.
In a descriptive sense, Miss Dungan's
life span has seen the beginning and
the latter-day climax of the develop
ment in this country of the brother
hood. The church of which she is a
member, the Vermont avenue congre-
CATION, becomes the National City
Church now, and its members move
from the unpretentious structure 20

ESSENTIAL,
CHURCHMEN TOLD
Disciples of Christ Dedicate
BaptiStry, Hear Ohio
Pastor.

God is no trailer; He is the captain"
Rev. George w. Knepper of Akron,
Ohio, said today in his sermon at the
dedication of the baptistry of the new
National City Christian Church of the
Disciples of Christ in Washington.
Our prayer should be for a revela-
ton of and participation in the plan
of God,' Rev. Mr.. Knepper added.
Here is the failure of the average
church. 1t breaches salvation by char
acter, when all salvation is by Christ.
1t breaches social service as a grand
means to an end, when 1t is just but
the Towering of a Christian life.
Cities Necessity of Faith.
Good works are valueless without
faith. If our churches would cast out
their man-inspired programs and wait
on the Lord until He revealed His own,
and then in divine power give them
selves without reserve to the working
of that program, every hamlet in Amer
lea would feel the thrill" he said.
Referring directly to the baptistry and
the great new church that has arisen
within a stones throw of the parent
Disciples church in Washington, Mr.
Knepper said: How better can we dedi-
cate this glorious building to the serv-
ice of God than by here and now max
ing full surrender OF ourselves and our
substance, changing defeat into tri-
umph. worry into peace and impotency
into power. Here we may put our
selves upon His altar and await the
wonder working power of God. He
who gives beauty for ashes and who
makes stars out of dust and lilies out
of muck will take the remains of our
sacrifice and transfigure them into
character of radiant beauty and tri-
umphant power"
Chapman Presides.
Charles c Chapman of Fullerton,
Calf, presided at the dedication service,
the baptistry being the second part of
the building thus dedicated during the
international convention. DR.. Earle
Wiley. pastor of the church, pro-
nounced the prayer.

CHURCH SESSION
TO CLOSE BROKE"
Christian Body Told by Off
CiaI $24 in Hand to Meet
$4,000 Cost.

With bank balance of $24 and a
prospect of convention expenses Of about
$4,000. Graham Frank, of Dallas, Tex,
general secretary of the international
convention of the Disciples of Christ,
told the Recommendations Committee
this morning that when this conven-
ton is over this outfit is going to be
broke"
Augmenting the depleted treasury,
however, will be the revenues from those
registered, which is expected to amount
to $4,000. Mr.. Frank revealed the
financial condition of the international
organization in reply to a question
whether the convention would assume
the obligations of commission which
it was proposed should be abolished.
Answering in the negative, Frank said:
Just before I left Dallas, the treasurer
told me there was less than S24 in the
bank. We are going to need every
cent we can raise in Washington from
any source"
Borrowed Money Spent.
Detailing convention expenses, Frank
said the convention was being charged
$4,000 rent by the Washington Audi
forum and Constitution Hall, and that
=
programs and other printed matter.
The money was borrowed, he ssgd.
Commenting on this expression, Off
Gals Of the brotherhood later said in
formally that the members of the va
rtous churches always came to a con-
yention broke. Only in recent years
has it been suggested that the indi-
vidual churches include in their budget
contributions toward convention ex-
penses. The total cost usually is I'M
derwritten by the officers and any def
cit e~perienced is shouldered by indi-
vidI
Aid Of Dallas Church.
This organization hasn't enough
money to employ a half-tirne ste
nographer." Frank blunty told the COM
minttee and wouldn't have one except
for the generosity of the First Chris
tan Church of Dallas. We have no
headquarters except such as are fur
nished by that church"
The increasing cost Of housing and
entertaining as many as 10000 persons
at an international convention has led
leaders of the brotherhood TO consider
setting up permanent convention or
ganlzation, Frank disclosed. Il have
hoped for several years" he said, that
q group of business men within the
membership would undertake to pro-
vide modest fund that would finance
the conventions"
registration fee of 81 is charged
to each person who takes part in the
deliberations. but it was explained that
hundreds of persons could attend the
meetings regularly without registering
