Hoover Facing
 Angry Congress
(ContInued from Page 1.)

| ernment to provide the jobiess with the minimum of food, shelter, clothing and medical supplies that will enable them to live in reason able decency and cleanliness. The congressional struggle over this issue promises to be as sharp as any during this long session. Al- though the composition of the sen- ate subcommittee suggests 1t will most certainly vote to report favor. ably some form of federal relief, the advantage in the congress as q whole appears to lie with MT. Hoover and his power of veto. The bills were introduced by Senators La Toilette, republican, Wisconsin, and Costigan, democrat, Colorado. Costigan's, for S376,000,. 900, would make s12b,000,0 900 available for relief in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892 and allot the remainder in the ensuing 12 months. Both bills would set up federal boards of unemployment res lief. These boards would allocate relief funds to the states on the condition that each state establish relief boards meeting specified standards.
 Mere introduction the the bills is a challenge to the relief ma- chinery sponsored by Mr. Hoover in 1880 under Arthur Woods and headed this year in changed form by Walter S. clifford. clifford has ndertaken to encourage, supervise and stimulate private charity 50 each community with its own funds may care for It's own relief prob- lem.
 Congress must decide if Clifford has raised enough money. Some say those resources arc not 50 per cent. Adeauate to meet this winters need. It Is estimated that from e,000,000 to 100000 are Jobless, and many out of work for year.
 It is probable that some compari- son may be made between MT. Hooyers moratorium proposal to the allies and Germany and his op. position to m appropriation for un- employed in this country. Senator Costigan, dem, Colo, de rectiy challenged President HOO: ves's opposition to the so-called dole, saying that Americans should not starvc while we auibbie over words" COHtiEHn bHlu IUlUlcunuIuuto ui"- tress and the need for relief' had been obvious when he conducted an investigation in November. "Nothing short of federal relief can satisfy the conscience of Ans erica" he continued, land long esta abiished agencies of relief have broken down."
 He said existing relief provisions uURa VaiV ina1AnuAtA'
 "The objection to . dole should be squarely met. Americans should not starve while we bubble over words"
 Federal Aid Demanded
 washington, Dec 2S--(U. P) - Federal aid in caring for the un- mployed was demanded ct the sen ate committee hearing on relief treasures to-day.
 Samuel A, Goldsmith. executive director of the Jewish Charities of Chicago, estimated that between $500, 000, 1000 and $700. 900 was required for relief this year. He said that normally $7b,000,O00 was raised for charity in the nation.
 You can see," he said, "how lit. tie private charity can do. We must have federal help"
 Senator Costigan, democrat. Col orado, maintained that existing "agencles of relief have broken down" and that nothing short of federal relief can satisfy the con acience of AmerIca."

 New York, December 2S - (UP) -- official National League pitch- ing averages. released today, in- dicate that the raised stitching and heavier cover used on the 1881 baseball, increased the efficiency of pitchers.

Carl Hubbell, an- other Giant left handler, took sec- ond place at 2.65 and Ed Brandt of oBston was third with 2.92.
 Heinie Meine of Pittsburgh, lead- ing right handler, was fourth with q mark of 2.e8 and Sylvester John son of St Louis finished fifth with an average of three runs per game.
 Paul Derringer and Bill Haili- han, youthful St Louis stars, led all rivals in percentage of games won and lost but did not fare so well in the matter of earned runs. Derringer, who won IS games and lost eight, was fifteenth In earned runs with an average of 3.363 and finished twelfth in earned runs

Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

scattering the church in all directions
saul never found any peace Of mind in
his efforts to prosecute the church so
that members were dispersed in all
directions. The apostles tarried in Je-
rusalem. They held their ground as q
testimony to the Lord Jesus. The scat
tering of the church resulted in its
ever they went they preached the Cos
pei OF the Risen Christ.
Prosecutor Won.
One Of the greatest trophies Of Ste
phen's death was the conversion Of Saul
of Tarsus, who had been the leader in
the efforts to crush the church. Christ
wins His followers from the ranks of
His enemies. When He called Saul to
give q reason why he prosecuted the
Risen Lord. Jesus identified Himself
with His Church. Christ surprised the
brilliant rabbi. The vision that he had
Of Jesus at that moment changed his
character and career. BY responding to
that vision and being obedient to 1t the
prosecutor became an ambassador to the
Gentiles. In fact, he became in time
pastor Of one of the churches that was
established as a result Of the persecu-
ton that broke out under his leadership
after Stephens death.
Jesus had warned His followers that
they would be called upon TO face such
trials and assured them Of their COM
plete triumph. Their invincible faith
was seen when there was established in
Antioch as q result Of the preaching of
the Gospel to Greeks. who were not
Jewish proselytes, with such success
that church was organized composed
Of Gentiles. When the news reached
the cautious and conservative mother
church in Jerusalem they appointed
Barnabas to visit the new fields that
had been opened up as a result of perse-
cution.
Persecution Of the followers Of Christ
still stains the history of the world
Missionary work has been hindered in
China. The Christian forces have suf-
fered in Russia. Rumania has made
it difficult for any except the Orthodox
Eastern Catholic Church TO enter within
its borders. Italy, Mexico and other
lands have invaded the sphere Of spir-
itual life and brought on a clash be-
tween the church and state. Living in
land of religious liberty and spiritual
freedom. it may be we'll for us to face
our loyalty to Christ and His Church.
Would we be true TO our Lord and His
cause In an hour OF bitter persecution?
1t Is more difficult to live for Him than
to die for Him. He encourages us to be
faithful in every hour Of testing. In
our golden text We have His promise
BE thou faithful unto death, and I
Will give thee crown Of life"
