concerning the New Chnrches.


Editor Times: An article in last Sun
days Times contains so many erroneous
statements respecting the New Church
Society in this city and its relation to its
pastor and to other church organizations
that we feel called upon to ask sufficient
space to set ourselves right wherein we
have been by you upintentionally misrepre-
sented.
l refer to so much of your article which
states that the general convention OF the
T. s., of what is sometimes styled the
IS wedenboTgian" Church, would prob
ably Soon be called upon to decide the ques
ton of pastor for this city, and that a
certain lady had been elected a delegate
to represent Washington at that convention
with that view, which election was held
in a conference in Washington.
In the first place the Washington society
is not entitled as such toa delegate in that
general convention, and if it were, such
delegate could not, and would not, be author
lied to ask that convention to decide for
it the question of pastor. The New Church
in this country has n congregational form
of government, and each society is inde-
pendent of every other society or other
church body in its selection of pastor or
church government The so-called Ma
tional Church edifice, now building on Six
teenth and Corcoran streets, is only national
in the sense that a portion of its cost has
been contributed through the Washington
society, which is also expected TO maintain
worship in it at its own expense and TO
supply its own pastor.
The society has existed here for some
fifty years and it, as well as its pastor,
Rev. Frank Sewall is so well known that a
statement showing such radical changes
in its management may well startle its
friends and congregation Very respect
fully, CHARLES +. KEEFER,
Secretary WashingtonNew Church Society.

The pioneer of the oral instruction of the

| has died at Rotterdam at the age of eighty
| two. David Hirsch was born at Muntz, in
Rhenish Prussia, in 1913. and after being
/ trained as teacher OF the deaf and dumb at
| the institute in Cologne he was, when only
| twenty-five years DID, appointed director OF
the deaf and dumb school in AK la ChaDelle.
In 1S49 Herr Hirsch was induced by DIR. NJ.
POLAND, professor at the University OF Ley
| den. to settle in Rotterdam, in order to be-
| come tutor to two of his children who were
| deaf mutes. Hirsch obtained other pupils

tute, which has become famous far beyond

THE LITTLE WATCHER.

My watch-little watcher, good night
You're as true as steel and as good as gold,
And changeless alike in darkness or light;
So, wake, while the night grows gray and
old.
Ny watch-lttle watcher, good morning!
Yours are the hands that never will shirk:
Three jewels there are your soul adorning-
1 call them Constancy, Patience, and
Work.
My watch--little watcher, good night!
'Tis comfort to have you so very near;
For you seem to say, 'All's right, all's
right!''
AS the beat of your faithful heart hear.
My watch-little watcher, good morningl
You're telling me now, " 'Tis precious
day!"
If ever a spendthrft grow, give me warn
ing;
The hours are slipping too quickly away.

Snow Flowers.
Where once were.flowers gay
Now lies the snow;
The skies DER head are grays
Cold winds do blow;
Across the trellised way
Hang wreaths of white,
AS if, in merry play,
The snow with light,
Soft touches Knocked the May
And on each stem,
AS 'twere, white roses lay.
