MRS. CROOKER AT WASHINGTON

Washington, Oct. 23-The thirty-fourth session of the Woman's Centenary association, the women's missionary organization of the Universalist church, convened here today. The president's annual address was delivered by Rev. Florence K. Crooker, of Ann Arbor. She vigorously attacked the policy of giving money to any church. 

"The first step to make a church mean, decrepit and menial," she said, "is to give something. We ought to loan, not give. We must help the struggling ministers on the frontier to help themselves. Kill this old habit of pauperizing parishes. We must build up a large loan fund."
