National City Christian
Pastor Warns Against
Europe's Calamity
Approximately 350 members of the
National City Christian Church at
tended an annual “Victory Dinner”
last night to celebrate a total re
duction of $240,000 in the church's
debt. The indebetedness was reduced
further last night, since one-half of
the proceeds of the dinner goes into
the debt payments.
Dr. Raphael H. Miller, pastor of
the church, declared that their
denomination, both local and na-1
tional, must join in the positive fight |
to protect this country from the
calamities which now beset Eu- i
ropean nations. He pointed out that
the National City Christian Church,
located as it is in the Nation's
Capital, should be the spearhead of
*uch a defense.
Missionary Officer Speaks.
The principal speaker of the
evening, Dr. Robert M. Hopkins,
president of the United Christian
Missionary Society, also stressed the
vital need of a vigilant Christian
epirit today.
Both Dr. Hopkins and Dr. Miller
praised the members of their
denomination for their achieve
ments in recent years. Dr. Mil
ler pointed out that the debt
payments on the Nationl City Chris
tian Church have been made in six
years. Dr. Hopkins discussed the
advances made in the missionary
field and gave brief descriptions of
the work being done in Paraguay,
Africa, China and India. The num
ber of native missionaries has in
creased in these territories and the
missions have gained in their strug
gle for self-sufficiency, he said.
