Tt is expected to outline a basis for public, commercial and trade group cooperation in the execution of the purposes of the conference" .e

Hartford, Aug 15. Doubt and fear go hand in hand" said Rev Muiford B. Simonson, pastor of the Grace Methodist Episcopal church in Waterbury and guest preacher at North Methodist church, Sunday. ''The man who doesn't know is the man who is afraid of the future," he continued
 &"Behold, I stand at the door and knock" This is very familiar text to us, because the artist has por- trayed it in the well known paint ing which is titled, ''The Light of the Worfd.',
 When this picture was on eXhi- ton in Oxford, John Ruskin, the art critic, spoke of it as a great pictorial evangel. He interprets the picture by saying that Crist comes to the individual in a threefold way: First, as the spirit of truth, symbolized by the light; second, as priest, indicated by the surplice which he wears, and third, as King, symbolized by the crown.
 The door at which the Christ stands, knocking. is not an ordin- ary door. It is covered with vine and the hinges are evidently rusted. One who was familiar with thig picture said, II used to wonder wky He didn't reach out, and open the, door Himself" One of the cri .ics said to the artist, You seem to have made one curious omission. About the door, I mean. There is no. handle or latch on it." No" said the artist, that is not an omission. I could not paint a ham, dle or a latch on that door. Be- cause the latch is on the inside" ;" He who waits and knocks without cannot or will not open the door. The door can only be opened from the inside; the latch can only be lifted by the inmate when he has at, last heard the Masters knock.
 The question which stars at us out of this picture is. have we opened the door of our heart to the

This will be a big day at the shore resorts. In addition to the fine weather, there is the added at- traction in the belief that there is a cure in the water for many ills.

Master? If we would be fair, we wouldn't keep Him waiting, espe- cially when we realized how pa- tiently He waits, and how it was that his hand was wounded.
 How many are to-day living be- hind doors which have been barred by doubt and fear? Like the dis ciples of old, in spite of all His promises, they doubted and they feared the persecution of the Jews. Doubt and fear go hand in hand. The man who doesn't know, is the man who is afraid to face the fu- ture. The man who can say.

Informs Commissioners He
VIII Support Emergency
Legislation.
CONFERENCES HELD
WITH BUDGET BUREAU
Congress May Be Asked to Rush
Through Joint Resolution or
Deficiency Bill.

President Hoover has informed the
District Commissioners that he will do
everything possible to push emergency
legislation to provide funds for unem-
ployment relief in Washington when
Congress convenes in December.
The Commissioners and officials of
the Board of Public Welfare already
have held informal conferences with
the Budget Bureau in an effort TO
expedite action on the appropriation
and tomorrow will take their request
formally to the board DR.. Luther
Reichelderfer, chairman Of the Board
OF Commissioners. said today that the
amount to be asked for will be left
undecided until Congress meets.
1t is proposed to ask Congress to rush
through a joint resolution or a def
cheney bill. 1t has been estimated bv
the Board OF Public Welfare, that the
S350,000 funds for relief appropriated
last July will be exhausted by November
10. This means that until Congress
can provide funds the following month
at the earliest, relief work will be at
standStill, except for assistance from
private agencies. which depend on the
Community Chest for their funds. The
new Chest drive starts on November IA.
washington is barred from borrowing
from the $500 100000 direct relief fund
OF the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton. because the Commissioners are
powerless 10 incur Indebtedness.
The most suitable means of r1lsh-
ing through an emergency appropria
ton ahead Of the regular District supply
bill will be discussed with the Budget
Bureau
Normally, DR.. Reichelderfer pointed
out, the District bill passes shortly be-
fore the Congress adjourns in March.
