preached the sermon, based on Hebrews 11, in which the great victories of faith are recounted. The faith of Abe, he said, stood for sacrifice, acceptable to God. Unbelief he called the sin of today. The faith of Enoch stood for testimony. Enoch walked with God and pleased God in his obedience, and in his preparation for God's coming, he said Noah's faith was warning of the coming judgment Abraham faith was of separation from the world and that, of his wife, Sarah, was of divine life in the body, and of strength in weakness.

The faith of Moses was of parental consecration, growing out of his Godly training and the speaker stressed the Christian home and its influence. Other victories of faith were mentioned and the audience was urged to hold the faith in this day of apostasy. At tonight's public session the sermon will be delivered by the Rev. William Christie, New York, vice president of the denomination. The broadcast will be from 3:30 to 4 over WFBG.

The machines were dis abled and were towed to garages for repairs.

to the ed Pastor Seeks Wage Slash Rev. Foulk, Trinity Lutheran, Juniata, Cites 'Depression Economy' The Rev. Paul Levi Foulk, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church, Juniata suggests an economy program for his church that begins with a reduction of his own salary. While the average man will agree that the pay check tendancy is downward, few are coming forward as volunteers to lead the procession. The Thirteenth ward minister, however, sincerely presents the case and includes abandonment of the paid choir, and other economies, to more firmly secure the financial progress of his congregation.

Trinity church is not 'impoverished' and the plan that is now submitted to a referendum vote of the members springs from a desire on the part of the Rev. Foulk to reduce a church debt of some $6S00. His proposition in an open letter in the "Juniata Lutheran' for October is as follows: Dear Members of Trinity: I want to be very frank with you, as indeed I hope you have and always will find me to be. We are running into debt We must cut our expenses. Your incomes have been reduced and possibly will be for the next year.

You have done nobly. But last year we borrowed $700 to keep our heads above water. Yet last year we paid $1000 on our debt You presented a gain of $300. I suggest that you begin making reductions in salaries. Reducing all salaries, and doing away with some paid positions entirely.

I hope that the congregation will favor such changes as seem necessary by economic conditions. The salaries of pastor, janitor and organist should be reduced. The system of financial secretary and treasurer be operated on a new plan. Trinity has a fine Christian group of singers. But while what is paid is small it has amounted to almost the sum of money we have had to borrow each year the paid musical organization has been in force.

Trinity has people who can sing, and what is said is not to the discredit of our generous-hearted choir, but in the stern facts of economic conditions over which neither the pastor nor the congregation has any control But: as your pastor I seriously question the advisability of keeping a paid quartette in the light of present conditions. It will be up to you to decide. If downward changes are made, as times change, upward changes can be made. Members of Trinity, I have not been asked to write this letter, no one knows what has been written, but I write sincerely and honestly, knowing that we are workers together with Christ Your pastor, Paul Levi Foulk The suggestions were submitted the people of Trinity church on Sunday afternoon in an every-mem-ber visitation, endorsed by the church council. Sixty men of the congregation made a sweeping canvass of the 335 members.

Referendum cards were presented and three-fourths of them were returned with answers to the questions. Shall the 1931 budget be continued for 19327 Are you satisfied with a paid choir? Do you favor reduction of salaries? Would you like an individual quarterly financial statement? Are you employed? Do you attend worship at least once a Sunday? Are you a member of the Sunday school? What may Trinity expect of you? Others will be turned in during present week and it is expect that the answers will be announced Sunday.
