needed to clear the building debt
and to provide furnishings and
supplies for the Sunday School.
In June, 1913, the Rev. Elgar C.
Soper was assigned to the church.
During the previous year the
church raised $500 for all purposes,
including the minister's salary.
The little one room church, with a
dozen of its window panes broken,
its room cluttered with broken
chairs, discarded hynnals and
trash, and weeds growing high
around the front steps offered the
minister a real challenge. His
first duty was to throw in the
waste basket a blue print for a
small Sunday School room to be
added to the existing structure at
cost Of some $500. Within
few months ground was broken for
an addition to cost $500, and

rooms, social hall and kitchen,
and larger and more worshipful

heating system. According to the
minister, if this campaign for
$4,000 is successful, the church
will be free of debt, and in addition
will have $3.50 for the Crusade
for Christ, as well as adequate
furnishings and supplies for the
Sunday School. st 04n
The Church has served the Cabin
John community since 1922, when
it was organized with about twenty
charter members. Today, accord

there is a Sunday School with one
hundred boys and girls. There is

The Red Cross War Fund Drive
swings into action today. AS it
got underway, Col. A. H. Hobley,
chairman, said:
"The American Red Cross con-
fronts it's greatest challenge. 1t
is serving our men on every battle
front, a reminder to them that
the home folks are backing them
up as they pursue the conquest of
our enemies.
Montgomery County is asked
to raise $50, 300 compared to SIS,
200 last year. Only with your
wholehearted assistance, can this
campaign be successful, and we
are hoping for your generous re-
Spouse to the worker who will call
for your contribution.
"The Red Cross is supported en-
tirely by voluntary contributions
and its future efforts depend,
therefore, on the result of this
War Fund campaign. Your help
is needed in order to meet its
obligations to the men who are
giving their lives for us. Surely
we owe it to them to assure the
continuation Of its services for
their benefit. Is anyone more de-
serving of our gratitude and aid?
Can we fail them?"

cussed and voted upon nearly a
score of proposals and resolutions
pertaining to different services Of

approved by the Congress. Other
resolutions include the creation Of
a separate purchasing department,
and approval of the extension Of
County school bus service to chill
dren attending parochial schools on
the same basis that this service is
now available to children attend
ing County public schools. This re-
solution was amended to extend
the bus service to children attend
ing any UNCONVENTIONAL school
which is not operated for profit.
The Congress also approved O
resolution recommending a County
Civil Service and Cfvil Service
Comrnissioper. This resolution re-,
eommends that all veterans Of the

rams who served overseas should

if County or community funds are
furnished for that purpose.

with the ability of England

all the while enjoying our full

at the expense of those nations
which were giving their blood

their own.
1t is part of human nature

defeat completely those forces
which have challenged the
world. The Universities and
grief which have befallen thou
sands Of American homes have
softened our attitudes and made
us conscious of the fact that
we are part of the world.
We recognize now that in order
to enjoy the fruits of our fore
fathers we must give full meas

the effort to wipe out the
forces which would destroy us.

actually that this was a "phon-

us the disastrous blow at Pearl

lieve that we were somehow
immune. And until casualty

tent to believe that thA war
would soon be over. So much
were we inclined to believe that
the wars end was near that
our war workers actually quit
in droves and wended their
peaceful ways homeward to find
permanent civilian employment.
