1t is pathetic when we think of the
fact that some of our officers and
members will be perfectly satisfied not
to go to church on PASTORAL days and
not give anything for the support of
the preacher. Friends, how do you
expect that preacher to pay his honest
debts? How do you expect him to
keep up his obligations? Do you
think that the minister can 1--we on

We have some rural churches whose
members may not at all times have
the cash, but remember, the preacher
must live. If you do not have the
cash and cannot get it, it is your
indispensable duty to see to it that
produce Of some kind is carried to
the parsonage. If your members
would carry some pork; another send
butter; another send eggs; another
send chickens; another send syrup;
another peas another corn, etc, the
preacher would be greatly helped.
There are those of us who do not
pay the peacher for months and
some time years, however, if some
one dies in the family, we will almost
break trace chain to get the prea-
her and he must come at his own
expense. When the funeral is over,
we pay the poor preacher in cash
with thank you, sir. Remember, we
have not helped him one bit. We
expect the preacher to live on earth

Editorials
Can He Live On Earth and Board
In Heaven?

AS we write this editorial, we are
thinking of the church and when we
say church, we have in mind the en-
tire membership, including the heads
of the churches and we are thinking
in particular at this time of the local
churches, composed of the pastor,
officers and members.
The responsibilities of a minister
are no doubt greater than most people
think they are. There are QUITE a
few laymen and laywomen who feel
that there is nothing but good time;
good chicken eating; good riding and
good sleeping for the minister. Some
people think that the pastors are be
ing carried to the sky on flowery
beds of ease, while they (the mem
bers) are fighting to win the prize
and are sailing through bloody seas.
When the name of the pastor is called
the first thing that a large number
of the people think about is fried
chicken and what a good time the
pastor has.
If some of our laity had an op-
portunity to take the fares Of some of
the preachers for two or three months
they would exclaim, Il will never
preach another sermon" unless God
had truly called them.
As we travel over the District and
over the country and note the finance
that some of our preachrs get for
themselves and their families, it is
real pathetic. When the writer was
a layman in the church and our re-
gular PASTORAL days would come a
round, we never did let rain. sleet
snow nor anything else prevent us
from doing our duty. IF the weather

EASTER PARADE

Yesterday I watched young
friend of mine get all dressed up in
her Sunday best for a gala party.
She had bought a new dress and her
best beau had sent her a lovely
corsage. Her hat was the exact
shade Of delicate blue as her dress.
She should have looked fresh and
lovely but - unfortunately - she
missed.
Her white gloves had seen wear
several times that week and she
had neglected to wash them. Not
only that, one finger had ripped at
the seams, and rather than take a
minute to repair the damage, she
let the scarlet tip Of her nail show
through. She had gone out the
night before in her new slippers,
had walked across the damp, muddy
ground and failed to give them a
cleaning. Her blouse needed press
irg but she felt that it would go
unnoticed. But, alas, those are the
things we do notice.
Small Details Are Important
Few of us realize the Importance
Of little details of grooming. A
tashing new dress or suit only
sItves to call attention to our short
:ynings If the small items of cos
.gming are faulty. We are inclined
- say, "What sh b by looking

excellence of the rest of the en-
qvr2hle.

Big Red Machine Leads for
Lambert Trophy; Stew

BY LESLIE AVERY


United Press Staff Corresponding
New York, Nov. 13.--(UP)-The
last scheduled game Of the 1910
season between tive indicated and
united teams will be played this
week when Boston College and
Georgetown, both bent on winning
Bowl bids, clash at Boston.
Least publicized of the nations
great teams, Georgetown and Bos-
ton College have been overlooked
outside their own sector, but that
makes their meeting Saturday no
less important. The winner likely
will gain added recognition but
probably not enough to take the
Lambert trophy from Cornell.
Today the Lambert standings rank
Cornell, Boston College and George
town ope-two-three. Cornell GER
tainly can gain no prestige Satur-
day by licking Dartmouth which
should give the Boston College,
Georgetown winner good chance
to challenge Cornell for the trophy
emblematic of the eastern champion
ship.
Eagles Have Edge
Boston College is expected to be
q slight favorite over Georgetown,
working on its third straight season
without defeat, but no less an auth
GRITTY than DR.. Nal Stevens Of N. Y.
u, likes Georgetown. And Stevens
has a good reason. The Hoyas
smashed N. Y. u, 800.
In addition to Cornell, Boston Col
lege and Georgetown, the East
boasts two more undefeated elevens
in Lafayette and Penn State. The
latter, held to a tie by Syracuse
last week should have easier pick
ings against NYU Saturday and
Lafayette should not be pressed to
win from western Maryland.
Fordham ranked fourth in the
Lambert standings, entertains Ar
kansas cratic team and Navy, fifth
ranked eastern team, comes to New
York favored over COLUMBIA team
lucky enough to nose Wisconsin by a
point after touchdown last week.
Other games on the eastern pro-
gram includue: Pennsylvania Army,
Pittsburgh Nebraska, Temple Holy
Cross, Princeton Yale, Harvard
Brown, Manhattan Villanova,
George Washington Kansas, Rut-
gers-St. Lawrence, West Virginia,

Warriors Challenge
Indies For Game

The Warrior Jrs. are seeking a
football game for this coming Sum-
day and would like to be rematched
with the Indie Jrs,, Overlooks, Oak
vile Rangers, and other junior
teams who care to play. The War;
riors show by their record that they
have better team than the Indie
Jrs. and would like to hear from
their coach or manager. These two
teams have won one game this sea-
son and should be an interesting
game if Indies Jrs. accept. The
Worriors have had four touchdowns
scored upon them. while the Indies
Jrs. have had seven scored upon
them, and played a tie with the
Fairlawn ard Oakville. The Wor-
riors defeated T'airlawn last week
60 at Fulton Park, that is more
than what the Indie Jrs. did. For
games write to Frank Connato, 1e
