upon without any opportunity being given
for the hearing Of suggestions or criticism
from experts Of the profession, or from the
popular judgment.
I'm the erection Of the District office
buildings now contemplated and likely soon
to be begun, 1t is probable that another
central and spacious square on the south
side Of the avenue will he converted into a
permanent and conspicuous architectural
feature Of the city. In considering the style
to be adopted, will any regard be had to its
combined effects with other buildings likely
to follow, or to the possible architectural
unity of the avenue as a whole? Such a
unity can, of course, only be secured by the
pursuance of some broad and comprehen-
sive scheme which may worthily match in
architectural grandeur the splendid design
which Maj. LEnfant furnished to Gen.
Washington for the laying out of the city.
Among the plans suggested for this build
ing is one which looks like n feeble imita-
ton Of the War. State and Navy building,
a style of architecture which whatever be
its merits or dement's is sufficiently rep
resented by that extensive strusture with
out needing duplicate
But the main question is not what style
shall be adopted for this or that building
that the government may be called on to
erect. but what shall be the grand total eff
feet aimed at In the building up Of Wash
ington as the capital city?
Shall there be any such FINAL effect in
view?
Question for Congress.
"How can the vast sums of the peoples
money here to be expended in government
buildings be made to produce results that
will compare most favorably with govern
ment architecture in the national capitals
of other lands. and justly meet the demands
Of the patriotic pride which every American
should feel?

suggesting the ever important question,

practically the same question every
year, and yet it neither grows old, nor

BPS. xl. 6-s). In these verses the psalm
list declares that by affection God has
taught him that IL is not mere outward
sacrifice and Offering that He wants,
but the conservation of the heart and
will TO Him, and He dedicates Himself
TO the Lord. The Lord wants our hearts
abose all things. The intention is OF
more importance than the deed. in the
case of Abraham, God accepted the
will for the deed when He called upon
him TO sacrifice Isaac. but He will not
accept the deed for the will, as can he
seen in the case of Cain. Cain per
formed the deed, but his heart was not
right, and il was not accepted. Abra-
hams heart was right, and God accept
ed his sacrifice without the deed. Let
us right ourselves, then, this Christ
