PASTOR URGES
SERMON BAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 U.N.SO.-
A two-year holiday on all sermons
in the Christian Church was urged
today by the Rev. DR.. Frederic S
Fleming, Rector of Trinity Church
in a startling preface to the year
book and register OF Trinity'S
wealthy parish.
With disarming franknesS, DR.
Fleming wrote that modern day
sermons had degenerated to 9
point where they were no more
than religious pep talks sailing
forth for a transitory popularity
under the guiSe of being inspira
tional." The practice of preaching
and Sunday School were described
by DR.. Fleming as "hopelessly out
NODDED"
DR.. Fleming said:
IF the clergy would abide
unanimously by such breathing
spells the Christian church
would once again bring salvation
to the world and begin to save
its own soul"
DR.. Fleming wrote:
There is practically no
preaching worth the name to be
found today. Frankly a mora
forum would be a gOdSend,
heartily hailed on both sides by
the pulpit and the pew.
why cannot a Christian be
permitted to go to church to
worship his God without always
being assaulted by a barrage
from the pulpit? Truly, the mir
acIe Of the church is the patience
Of the laity."

They manufactured the syn.
thetic hormone from ergosterol,
which occurs in animal and plant
tissues and is also a by-product of
yeast. When irradiated with ultra
violet light, ergosterol is a source
of the anti-rickets vitamin D. Prof
Marker pointed out, however,
that while the vitam ins are
chemical substances which must
be introduced into the body from
outside sources, hormones are pro.
duced within the body by the
ductless glands and are necessary
for normal physical and mental
development and growth.

REALTY APPRAISER
MUST LOOK AHEAD
Needs to Know Present as
Only One Stage
of Cycle.

The real estate appraiser must
strive to visualize the future as far
as 20 years distant, states the Decem-
ber Federal Home Loan Review, in
an article on general economic and
social factors and trends which affect
real estate values. The article dis
cusses appraisal methods and policies
for savings, building and loan insti-
tutions.
THE appraiser must be familiar
with population statistics and trends"
says the Review. "Since institutions
of this type make long-term loans. he
is as much concerned with what prop
erty is going to be worth in S, 10 or
20 years as he is with what 1t is worth
today. He should know that the rate
of population growth has been stead
lily declining in recent decades and
should be able to interpret the ex-
tent to which this factor may apply
within the specific district in which
he is appraising.
Marriages of Immediate Effect.
''As the size of the average family
has been declining, the number of
families has been increasing relatively
more rapidly than the total popula-
ton. This factor somewhat offsets
the effect OF the decline in total popu-
lation on the demand for housing.
An excess of births over deaths in
any year does not create a material
demand for more housing. Marriages.
rather than births, most Immediately
affect the housing situation.
Although the real estate cycle
grows out Of the general business
cycle, booms and depressions in each
field do not always parallel each
other. The most recent imitation
period in real estate had ended by
1926, about three years before the
collapse in general business. The
rate of foreclosures, a barometer Of
the real estate situation, began to
increase in 1925.
Three boom periods in the urban
real estate market in the past so

years reached their peaks in 1890
1892. i905-1o06 and 1923-1925. A
short lived boom occurred In 1920
due to the postwar housing and stor-
age. The appraiser, from his study
and experiences Of past cycles and
his knowledge Of present conditions.
should be able to recognize the ap>
proximate stage Of the cycle existing
at any given time.
Watch Signs Of Times.
THE length Of these cycles was
froEi IS to 18 years each, O period
covered in large part by the term OF
usual savings and loan association
type Of mortgage. An association ap-
praiser, therefore, should follow closely
the various indicators Of the general
trend OF the real estate market SO
that he may recognize when a boom
Is developing or depression is threat
ening. Included among these signs
are statistics relating to volume Of
new construction, building costs,
amount of real estate financing, mort
cages recorded, sales, rentals and FORE
closures.

lem of the appraiser Is to decide how
