Pennsylvania Ex-senator
Speaks at Cathedral
Vesper Rites.

Former Senator George Wharton
Pepper Of Pennsylvania was the prin-
cipal speaker at special vesper serv-
ice for teachers at Washington Cathe-
dral yesterday afternoon. His subject
was the quest for a path Of life in a
world of confusion.
I'VE who are building this Cathe-
dral," he said, "are supremely conf
dent that we have found the path,
however falteringly as individuals We
may be following 1t. We hold that
the experience of the ages justifles us
in our belief. not merely that God Is,
but that He has given us a revelation
of Himself in the Life Divine. We
hold that in the drama of human
history He has appeared in three
characteristic three dramatic per-
sonae: in the character of the Gre
ator, in the character of the Redeemer
and in the character of the Sancti-
fer. We express this belief when we
perSonify and acknowledge the glory
of the Eternal Trinity. We affirm
that it was for us and for our saliva
tion that God appeared in human
life and in so proclaiming the great
teachings of the Trinity. of the In
carnation and of the Atonement we
are proclaiming that which distin-
guishes Christianity from all other
religions
This We believe to be the path Of
life. In finding it we believe that
peace is found; in treading 1t We con-
ceive that we are walking in the way
OF good men and are keeping the
paths of the righteous. We aim at
sympathetic understanding with those
who with us would be fellow-seekers
We smile when we are told that we
are unintelligent; We are defiant only
when one seeks to turn us from our
way. We insist that what we stand
for is worthy Of respect, II not Of
reverence. Not with pride OF intellect,
but with the conviction that results
from ages of experience we say to you
and to all who listen, This is the way:
walk We in it,"
The closing prayer was an invoca-
tion for the blessing of teachers.
Among the clergy participating in
the service were Canon Anson Phelps
Stokes. former secretary of Yale Uni
versity: Canon William L. De Vries
and Canon Raymond L. Wolven. The

gram was in charge of Edgar Priest,

Youths who enter the Civilian
Conservation Corps during the en-
listment period opening today-and
there will be 10000 OF them-will
have one big advantage over the
group who enlisted year ago in the
newly-formed corps.
The advantage is explainable in
one word-food.
When the C. c. C. was first organ
lied, there were not enough cooks
not even poor cooks. The organiza-
ton sent out a hurried call for as
sistance, and finally drafted enough
cooks to feed the men. But, to quote
Guy Mckinney, assistant to c. G. c.
Director Fechner, We've learned
what the Army has always known,
that the men must be fed properly"
The one-year ruling has been
waived in many cases so that cooks
enough for the old camps and the
l73 new camps to be established in
the drought area may be retained in
the service.
The 173 new camps are to care for
city boys from % drought States, of
drought relief measure. These are
to be enlisted during this period in
addition to the 10000 requirements.
to go in for the men who have served
out their one-year limit. The new
camps will bring the total to l,64l.

JohnsMarshall place and c street.
Fechner said the $12, 100000 which
President Roosevelt ordered advanced
for c. c. c. operations in the drought
area would be supplemented by addi-
tional allotments later. He has in
structed the War Department, in
charge of C. c. c. supplies, to pur-
chase equipment necessary TO outfit
