SURVEY IS PRESENTED ON CONGREGATIONS’ SIZE Little Gain®Is Reported in Fields Presenting Best Opportu- nities for Work. “Doctrinal emphasis” and “wide di- vergences in the form of church gov- ernment” were named as two causes for hampering co-operation between churches in general church work and missions at the North American Home Missions Congress, meeting in its third fd;d" session in Calvary Baptist Church ay. These and other reasons for a lack of co-operation were being discussed at the various group meetings of the con- gress, whose main purpose of meeting is to secure better co-operation between churches in missionary work. turgy also was named as another barrier to co-operation.

Members of the District of Columbia >Blr Association will meet tomorrow night in closed session at the Cosmos Club to debate a resolution advocating repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Col. J. Miller Kenyon, the associa- tion’s president, said the results of the discussion will be made public. The de- bate will center around a resolution in- troduced by Grahame H. Powell, as follows: “It is the sense of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia that the eighteenth amendment to the Constitu- tion, the Volstead act, and all orders and regulations for the enforcement thereof, should be repealed, and the subject of prohibiton be remitted to the sole regulation of the several States.” Mr. Powell said his resolution is not a wet and dry question, but aims at the control of intoxicating liquors by “the several States.” He contends the United States is too large to permit the people of any one section of the coun- try to impose their will with reference to domestic conduct and life upon the peo- lon. He said um should be a matter of local opinion. He asserted that he favored a law which can be enforced and which has the backing of public opinion. W. A.

WHEAT ADDRESSES WOMAN LAWYERS Comparison of Judicial Sys- tems of Britain and U. S. Made at Banquet. A comparison of American and Eng- | lish judicial systems by Chief Justice | Alfred A. Wheat of the District Su-| preme Court marked the thirteenth an- | nual banquet of the Women's Bar Asso- ciation of the District of Columbia, held in the Mayflower Hotel last night. Discussing the difference between the English and American systems, Justice Wheat brought out that there exists in the judicial system of the Old Country | an aristocratic element, which in some | phases is both superior and inferior to the American method. He said that in | England only barristers are permitted to try cases, and these are selected by the solicitors. “There are about 1,000 barristers in| England,” the justice said, “and all tIz. work of trying cases is done by these men. Litigation is, therefore, only open to those people who are able to pay for it and not to those who have a meri- torious cause of action. | Litigation Decidedly Less. “Because of this fact, there is de- cidedly less litigation in English courts, and a more or less aristocratic el:mem is created in the English judiciary. American courts, which are open to '.he masses, the lawyers are permitted to take cases on contingent fees, whereas this is not done in England. Compara- tively speaking, there is a democratic element in American judiciary which is absent in England.” A talk on the Government of the United States and the importance of educating the younger generation in it, was made by David Lawrence, editor of | © the United States Daily. He also urged a closer co-operation between the bar associations and the newspapers. Acting Dean Charles S. Collier of George Washington University, in a hnel talk before the group, sounded an optimistic note concerning the activity of women in the profession, declaring that mture generations must inevitably ‘nefl by feminine influence, “'hh:h carries with it the advocacy of peace and the absence of belligerent in- stincts.” Many Honored Guests. Honored guests at the meeting in- cluded Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, Dean and Mrs. Collier, Chief Justice and Mrs. Justice and Mrs. Josiah A. Van Orldal Judge Kathryn Sellers, Judge Mary O'Toole, Gen. and Mrs. F. T. Hines and Maj. and Mrs. William Wolff Smith.
