RAISE NEARLY $3,000.
Opening of Campaign by 'North-,
minster Presbyterian Church.
Nearly $3,ono was contributed on the
twelve-thousand-dollar debt of the North
minster Presbyterian Church at a meeting
held in that edifice last night. The occa
sion was the opening of the campaign
to clear the church from debt. L Cabell
Williamson, chairman of the building
committee of the congregation, opened
the contributions by subscribing $u??0.
Mrs. Williamson gave a similar amount
Dr. M. C. Bennett also subscribed the j
same amount and $1,500 was thus raised j
on the debt in the first few minutes of j
the meeting.
Amounts ranging from $10 to $100 came
thick and fast, and before th? serv
ice had closed nearly $3,000 had been
raised.
Rev. Dr. George P. Wilson, the pastor,
declared that he as much pleased with
the progress made.
' The committee thinks it has done
well." he said. "Ground was broken for
the edifice when we were surrounded
with all the difficulties of a panicky con
dition and a labor strike. The present
situation is the result of much hard work
on our part.
"The church may well congratulate
itself on transferring its labors to thiH
beautiful site." he said. "It was a pro
uressive step, because in N street the
congregation was practically at a stand
still. I am thankful It had Initiative
enough and courage enough to build this
new home which has determined for it
a successful future."

Brookland Resident Wants Jackson
Street Fixed Up.
Declaring that Jackson street. Brook
land. remains the same mud hole year
after year, despite improvements to
other streets. Charles H? Cox of 1023
Jackson street has written to the District
Commissioners a request that lt$ improve
ment be undertaken soon.
"Having noticed that bids have been
invited for the grading and otherwise Im
proving of streets in Rrookland," he says,
"permit me to ask why Jackson, street
between 10th and 12th streets cannot re
ceive recognition. You are aware that for
several years the property and lot owners
on this square have repeatedly asked for
this improvement, but for some reason
their requests have availed nothing.
AWe notice Improvements of other
streets about us, but Jackson street re
mains the same mud hole year after

The writer will be informed that there
is no appropriation from which the funds
can be used for the improvement of this
street, but that the claims of Jackson

( DOMINICANS HEAR KEARNEY.
Latter Journeys From Ohio to At
tend Holy Name Function.
One hundred and forty candidates were
received into the Holy Name Society last
evening in St. Dominic's Church. Forming
a line in the parish hall, the candidates
and the members, in all, entered the
church, headed by the spiritual director
of the society, Rev. J. L. Finnerty. O. P.,
of St. Dominic's Church. The altar was
brilliantly Illuminated with numerous wax
lights and the sanctuary was made more
effective by the presence of several white
robed priests and seminarians from the
Dominican House of Studies. Dominican
clerics sank the music at the benediction
of the blessed sacrament, and the an
thems, "O. Lumen" and " Salve Regina."
The sermon was preached by the Very
Rev. Lawrence Francis Kearney. O. P..
S. T. M., provincial of the Dominican Or
der in the United States, who came to
Washington from Zanesvllle, Ohio, for
the occasion. After a few Introductory
remarks to the society. Father Kearney
assailed the law sanctioning divorce, and
said, in part:
"There will be Immorality as long as
human passions exist But that immoral
ity should be sanctioned by law and un
condemned by a religion which calls itself
the religion of Christ?this is a condition
which should satisfy the deepest aspira
tions of the powers of hell. And such is
the condition which the prevalent prin
ciples have brought about. Marriage is j
no longer sacred. It Is in the power of
an insignificant minion of the law, calling ;
himself a judge or a magistrate, to sever;
the bond that unites one man and one
woman in holy wedlock and permit both
to enter a course of successive polyga
my."
Rev. Dr. Keorney has three times been
elected provincial of the Dominicans in
the Unitpd States.

children are all under twelve years of
age. The mothers are sickly and needy.
A short stay In ti e country, it is con
ceded. makes surprising changes with
city children. It not only strengthens
physically, but morally and mentally, as
well, and may help in shaping the whole
after life of the boy or girl.
The committee states:
"I'pon you depends whether one or;
more of the children with stunted lives
Bhali be able to live like other children '
for two whole weeks. Will you not give
a child fourteen golden days in the
country.
"In Wos persons were taken on
day outings, 4.r>tm < ar tickets were dis
tributed, XIO sick people were given trol
ley rides. Son persons were furnished
lunches, 4'?7 mothers and children were
sent to Camp Good Will for two weeks,

be held under the auspices of the Y. M.
IC. A took place yesterday afternoon In
Franklin Park. Rev. C. L.. Pate, pastor
of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church,
delivered the address. In his remarks he

sibilities for service and quoted from the
verse "The Life That Counts."
"We o:ten place a low valuation on
ourselves," he said, "although God has
invested in us wonderful possibilities for
good, which it is for us to develop, and
from which we should return dividends
to Him. It may be that our word Is the
only word some man close to the brink
?can hear. The grasp of our hand may
he the only grasp that can put new faith
into some man whom discouragement has
cause to distrust."
The service was in charge of H. A.
Thrift. He was assisted toy H. A. Davis,
religious work secretary of the associa
tion. Ray E. Dew led the singing.
