lines about the old Rock Greek church,
the Oldest place of worship in the dis

ington, and Is situated adjacent to the
Soldiers Home, on land given by the
colonial worthy, John Bradford, in 1913,
to be held in perpetuity for church pur-
poses. 1t was erected long before the
revolution, of bricks imported from the
mother country, and the walls seem to be
as stable and firm now as though they
had been built but yesterday. An extern
sive burial ground surrounds the old
building, in which are inferred many of
the first residents of Washington, some
of the tombstones bearing dates of the
past century. If l could paint the beau

A MODEL MARRIAGE LETTER.

The following letter was written twenty
years ago by lady of great literary dis
tinction, to her cousin on the eve of his
marriage, and accompanied by pair of
blue-mixed stockings, knit by herself as a
present;
DEAR COUSIN; Herewith you will re-
ceive present of pair of wooden stock
ings, knit by my own hands, and be
assured that my friendship for you is as
warm as the material, active as the finger
work and generous MS the donation. But
consider this present as peculiarly ap-
propriate on the occasion of your mar
riage. You will remark, in the first place,
that there are two individuals united in a
pair, who are to walk side by side, guard
ing against GOODNESS, and giving comfort
as long as they last. The thread of their
texture is mixed, and so, also, is the thread
of life. In these, however, the white pre-
dominates, expressing both love and con-
fidence, that thus ii will be with the color
of your existence. No black is used for
believe your lives will be wholly free from
the black passions of wrath and jealousy.
The darkest color here is blue, which is
excellent where we do not make it too
blue; you we'll perceive the tops of these
stockings (by which / suppose courtship
to be repIesented) are scanned, and by
means of scanning are drawn into snarl;
but afterwards comes a time when the
whole is made plain, and continues so to
the end and final toeing off. By this, |
wish to take occasion to congratulate you,
that you are now through with seeing and
have come to plain reality again, as the
whole of these comely stockings were not
made at once, but by the addition of one
little stitch after another, put in with skill
and discretion, until the whole presents
the fair equal piece of work which you
see; so life does not consist of one great
action, but millions of little ones COM
bined, and so may it be with you-no
stitch dropped when duties are to be per-
formed-no widening made when bad
principles are TO be reproved or economy
is to be represented-neither scanning nor
narrowing where truth and generosity are
in question. thus every stitch made
right and set in the right
place, none either too large
or too small, too tight or too loose;
thus may you keep on your smooth and
even course, making existence one fair
and consistent piece, until together hav-
ing passed the heel you come to the toe
of life, and here in the final narrowing off
and dropping the stitch of this emblem
atical pair of companions and comforting
association, nothing appears but white,
the token of innocence, purity, peace and
light. May you take these stockings (the
final stitch being dropped, and the work
being comrleted) go together from the
place where you we're framed to happier
state of existence present from earth
to heaven. Hoping that these stockings
and admonitions may meet cordial re-
ception, remain, in the true blue friend
ship, seemly, yet without seeming,
Yours, From TIP TO TOE.

WASHINGTON CHURCHES.
A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE
MOST PROMINENT OF
THEM.
WHERE OUR PUBLIC MEN HAVE
WORSHIPED AND IT'S EFFECT
ONTHE CHURCHES.
Special Correspondence to the Statesman:

Special Correspondence to the Statesman:
1t Is an American custom to give to the
principal cities of the country names
other than those by which they are recog-
nized and spoken of in legal and com
mercial life. l mean, every important
city has speaking name, a designation
that brings to the mind of one some char
acteristic of the town or its people. Thus,
Washington is spoken of as the "City of
Magnificent Distances" and the phrase
at once brings to the memory of any one
who has visited it, the visions of broad
avenues and wide squares, large roomy
parks, and the most splendid of govern
ment reservations. Boston is "the Hub
Brooklyn has long been dubbed the "City
of Churches" on account of the many
and magnificent church editices of every
denomination, that help to make it the
beautiful city it is. Other towns, notably
Chicago and Cincinnati, have disputed her
claim to the title, and by statistics have
seemingly proven their right to the title,
but despite this the Long Island town still
keeps the name and perhaps always will
The national capital has also been one
of the cities to successfully dispute with
Brooklyn this envied title; but very few
people know however, that she has more
churches, taking her size and population
into consideration, than any other city

they sit listening to the services. They
divide with the minister and generally get
the larger share of the congregations at
tention. A short sketch OF the church is
interesting in view of its now being the
"Court" church. 1t is one among, if not
the Oldest religious organization in the
city. The founders, for want of suita-
BILE place of worship, were under the me-
cessity of using large carpenter shop,
erected for the accommodation of the join
ers employed on the presidents mansion
in 1888. When this temporary building
was demolished, frame edifce was con-
structed on a lot near st. Patrick's church
granted to the congregation by the cele-
brated David Burns, once the owner of a
large part of the site of Washington.
"Dare Devil Davie" subsequently reclaimed
the ground. The congregation, now large
ly increased, erected plain brick church
at the foot of Capitol Hill, in which they
worshiped for many years. This being
found somewhat incOnvenient for the
larger portion of the congregation, it was
disposed of to negro congregation and a
handsome editice erected on the present
site, Four and-a-half street, between
Louisiana avenue and street. Andrew
jackson was regular attendant during
his administrations and no doubt in the
course of an unusually long or prosy SER
mon would gasp out under his breath the
inevitable, "By the Eternal" President
Cleveland, in attending the Four-and-a-
half street church renews the era of Jack
son in this regard. Other prominent
Presbyterian churches are the Metropoli-
tan, the Fourth church and the Central
church. Rev. DR.. Sunderland is pastor of
the First Presbyterian.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The Baptists we're one of the first de-
nominations to gain foothold in the
capital, and they are now second only to
the Methodists in the number of their
churches and membership. The First
Baptist church, on Thirteenth street. be-
gan its existence in 1903, and the Second
followed in 1910. These were the first OF
the numerous churches of the denomina-
ton. Calvary church, corner of Eighth
and H street, may be ranked as their most
prominent house of worship. The Quakerf
have two neat and comfortable houses OF
worship, the situations of which are quie
and suited to the retired habits of this
gentle sect.
On Vermont avenue, between N and 9
streets, is the Vermont Avenue church
which is more widely known as the Gar
field Memorial The death of Garfield
was tine prime reason of its being built,
public opinion being in such a condition
that it generously aided any enterprise
that would go toward raising so appro-
pirate monument to the lamented presi-
dent. 1t is the leading church of the
Christian faith in the United States.
When Garfield was president small
chapel stood on the site, and here Garfield
worshiped for many years, as congress
man and president. After his death, when
the new edifice was erected, the pew he so
long occupied was carefully preserved and
has been placed in the new church. On it
is silver tablet inscribed with the muir
dered presidents name.
1t has not been my purpose to write a
history of all the churches and denomina-
tions that have established themselves in
the city, though it would no doubt be in
teresting to many. They number in all

Grand Master Workman t. v. Pow
derby, OF the Knights Of Labor, YVES
in the city Thursday, and called on
Cardinal Gibbons at his residence,
where conference OF prelstes was
held to discuss questions al, citing the
welfare OF the Catholic Church in the
United States, and principally the
relation and duties Of Catholics who

OF the purposes OF the Knights, and
how, in his opinion, they we're an or
ganizatlon not included Ia the pro-
scription OF the church against secret

derby were carefully noted and pre-
eented to church Bishops. The visit
of the Grand Workman was Who'll y
unexpected and unknown among the
Knights in the city, who did not look
for him here before next week,
1t was known he would visit
Cardinal Gibbons, in obedience
to instructions from the convention OF
the Knights OF Labor held recently at
