THE CITY WITHOUT WALLS.
DR.. Dulles Sermon at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church.

The Rev. Allen Macy Dulles, OF Water
town, n. Y, who filled the pulpit at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
at the morning service yesterday preached
an interesting sermon ON the prophesy
of Zachariah. The discourse was an i'm
depreciation Of the words OF the prophet,
found IN the second chapter, fourth verse.
Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns
without walls
Towns surrounded by walls Were, said
DR.. Dulles, a condition peculiar To the
time in which Zachariah lived; town
without a wall around it was as rare as u
tree without leaves. Consequently, Jeru-
salem, like all other towns, was sur
rounded by great wall, the law being
that each iEhabitant should keep that
part of the wall opposite his dwelling
This condition suggests to the thinker
the idea that walls were necessary to
guard against some outside evil or op-
posing force, for in that time towns and
cities and nations warred against each
other. But il can be seen that while
walls were an advantage so far as pro-
lection was concerned, still they were
limits to the extension OF cities. and
limits TO population and to the free action
of the inhabitants as TO egreSs and In
gress.
Brt there are other walls besides those
of rocks, said Dr.. Dulles, natural bounds
and Limitations W hich we must recognize
He gave several interesting examples OF
the separation of the Inhabitants of the
world by natural walls or boundaries,
which resulted in the fostering OF different
customs, the use OF different languages,
and differences of religious opinions
1t is true, DR.. Dulles said, that we may
be somewhat better off inhabitating
cities without walls, but when we realize
the fact that there is no such thing
as local redemption, We readily see that
there can be no perfection until the whole
world is Inhabited without walls; even
| heaven Will not be perfect until all Gods
souls inhabit there The City of God win
| he inhabited as towns without walls

The second excursion OF the season at
River View given by the Plattdutsch Verein
and the Arion Singing Society, both well
known German organizations, took place

able. About 1000 persons made the trip

supreme at the View all day. If there
is people who know how TO have a
good time they are the fun loving Ger
mans of Washington. Yesterday, In adj
dition TO the chute and the many other at
fractions scattered about the View grounds,
grand chorus of 100 trained voices, in
Guiding some of the best known German
singers of Washington, rendered the hymns
and airs of the German fatherlan in fine
STYLE and the woods and dells of the
View echoed with tha stirring music The
usual bowling contests took place and were
very close, some or the best bowlers In
the District taking part Taxing it al

Choice of Life Work.

BY request Prof J. Fraise Richard, OF
the Modern Normal College, Iectured yes

the Christ an Church, corner Ninth and d
streets northeast, his subject being, Go
ing Through the World The audience
was a large and interested one, each
member giving earnest attention to the

SPEAKER aimed to impress the necessity
OF every young person choosing wisely u
definite life work, and then fitting hini-
self most thoroughly forts accomplishment.
Many people scatter their own forces and
defeat their own purposes in life Prof.
Richard insisted that achievement de-
ponds not so much upon native powers
as the observance OF a few fundamental
principles. THESE are, in the order which
he Considered most important, concentration
OF effort, earnes5ness or enthusiasm, or. in
the language of the political world, the
power OF '.hustiing," and lastly pers
verance, or the fighting it out on this
line if 1t takes all summer. The opinion
was freely express ed that every congre-
CATION in the city should hear Prof. Rich.

MEMORIES OF TORONTO.
Echo Meeting of Epworth Leaguers
ut Trinity NJ. e. Church.

u.
The Epworth Echo meeting held last
evening at Trinity Nj E. Church vas a
decided success. Not only were the Trim

was also present large number fron,
the chapters OF Waugh, Union and Ep-
worth Churches
Aside from the interest taken by all
Epworthians in all matters pertaining
to the great international convention Of
tie league recently held at Toronto,
canada, the meeting was notable for
other reasons Chief of these, perhaps,
was thc address of Mr.. Fred Woodwa rd,
of Epwortk Church, in which he showed
the close relationship between the Ep-
worth League and the Methodist church.
Another interesting feature, which was
not down on the program, was the ex-
ceilent muse contributed by Miss Duana
Of Waugh Chapel, who sang GLORY in My
Soul with much spirit and effect, and
Miss Martha Garthwait, of Trinity, who
sang with much feeling Ninety and
Nine" Scattering Sunshine was also
sung with great enthusiasm III by the audi.
ence.
The meeting was conducted by Mr.

duced Mr.. T. B. Stahl as the first speaker.

scription ofthe journey to andfrom Toronto,
relating many incidents which happened
