$240,000 Reduction In Church Debt Marked at Dinner 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- tional, must join in the positive fight to protect this country from the calamities which now beset Eu-| € ropean nations. He pointed out that | Bowers-Riegger sextet, accompanied | the National City Christian Church, located as it is in the Nation's Capital, should be the spearhead of | such 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 spirit 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 fleld 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.
