Methodists Of the baltimore Confer
ence today approved / plan for the
teaching Of temperance In the church.
the school and the home, and adopted
= budget Of sle2, ,ss3 for next year.
John II. Rosenhsrger OF winchester,
who was reelected lay leader, pre-
sented the report on temperance which
was adopted with certain resolutions.
These requested every pastor to
preach four sermons 4 year on tenn
psrance: asked the church's General
Education Board to incorporate TEN.
perance lessons In church school lit.
erature, and put conference members
on record as pledging themselves to
exemplify temperance in their lives
and to teach 1t In their homes.
The budget, which was S20, 1853
greater than that Of this year, provided
$74.6S3 for general church work and
$ss, 900 for the conference.
During the afternoon the conferences
adopted the Recommendation Of the
budget commission that funds for the
Board Of Missions be increased from
$4,000 to I'll, 800 for the ensuing year.
Other recommendations included
3d. for Christian education, COM
pared with $4,000 this year, and
s32. 500 for claimants, the same as at
present.
Rise In Allstmsnt.
The general church allotment WAS
$l4,6S3 above that Of this year, but
the Budget Commission chairman, the
Rev. Nolan B.. Harmon Of Roanoke.
said the annual tthe Baltimore) con-
ference had to accept the fgure set
for 1t by the general conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church South
Because OF this, he said, the annual
conference either had to increase the
total budget or had to cut the propor-
tion Of the money going to the annual
conference, 20 the total budget was in
creased
Conference boards and causes asked
for $4,000. Their budget this year
was $4,000.
On Mr.. Harmon's motion, 1t was de-
cided to send the budget to district
conferences in two separate items
general and annuaD instead Of In 4
lump sum. as customary. The district
conferences will ask specific amounts
Of the individual churches, which will
decide what part they will accept.
Rev. Mr.. Rustim Heard.
The Rev. John Rustin Of Mount
Vernon Church, Warrington, asserted
that the general conference made 4
mistake in increasing its requests. He
pointed out that this worked against
annual conference work, ana endan.

Charge of Dies Group Witness

The California State Committee of

ment "These charges are absolutely
false and libellious and we are con-
sulting our attorneys with a view to
filing a criminal libel suit against
Mr.. Knowles. If there were
any truth in the murder charges, the
police authorities long ago would have
availed themselves of Mr.. Knowles
so-called evidence, but they know they
would be making themselves ridicu-
lous"

charge" laughed John Steinbeck
