IN MEMORY OF DR.. DAY
Impressive Services Held at st. Marks
English Lutheran Church.
Address on Foreign Missions by Mr.
Cornelius Eckhardt-EuIogy by
Rev. j. c. Bowers.

Impressive memorial services were held
last evening ct st. Marks English Luther
AN Church, c street near 18th southwest.
on the death OF the late Rev. DIR. David A.
Day, missionary of the Lutheran Church
to Africa.
After the opening exercises. which con-
sisted of reading the evening Scripture les
son. and singing. prayer was offered by the
pastor. Rev. ]. c. Bowers: Miss Mamie
Stinzing followed with an address on Man
Made for Cod and Master George Godron
of the Sunday school read an appropriate
Scripture selection.
Mr.. Cornelius Eckhardt treasurer Of the
Luther League of America. and one of the
ELDERS of the Lutheran Church Council of
W aShlnGton, made an address on Foreign
missions. After being introduced by the
pastor. Mr.. Eckhardt said that as the
meeting was memorial TO the late
Dr. Day. he would talk of the advantage
and Importance Of foreign missions. These
less than seventy-five years ago. occupied
Duf small share of the attention of the
church, and the receipts were CORRESPOND
lnSly small, but the report of the treasurer
at the last meeting of the general synod
SHOWS receipts amounting to 81. l2l. 10
neariy forty times much as the amount
named in the first report and covering
about the same time.
Continuing, Mr.. EckharGt said: The
work of foreign missions does not meet
with the favor it should. Why is It? Is 1t
because We know nothing about the work ?
Is 1t because we have no interest in that
which is so far away. OF is 1t the love of
self and home first that closes our poke {
books and compels US to turn a deaf ear to
the many and crying appeals for aid?
II the first, there are many ways by
which We may become familiar with the
work Tracts, sermons and any number of
meetings are constantly being placed al
our commend. If that is the reason. then
the fault lies with u.s. What heart in this
the nineteenth century. and in this the
christian country, SO often boosted of as
leading the world could not be touched by
the stories of cruel, shocking idoatry COM
ing from heather lands. Who of you coul,!
sing that grand old hymn which We have
Just sung without feeling their hearts go
out in sympathy with this grand work?
If 1t Is for lack of interest, then, my
friends let me say to you, you should not
parade under the colors Of Christian.
Pure. unaduterated Christianity is not
the Topping off of foreign missions. nor
home missions, nor church extension. There
is no place in heaven for the foreign mis-
sion Christian the home mission Christian
or the church extension Christian or q
Christian representing airy other branch OF
church work, but there is place for the
Christian who realizes that all together it
is the work of the Master
In conclusion MIR. Eckhardt paid a high
compliment to the members of St. Mark s

port. in the course of which they referred
to the letter recently published in The Star
from President Griswold of the Anacostia
Railway Company to the District Commits
sioners regarding the Brown system, under
which part of the Capital Railway Com
pany's line is operated and which letter
severely criticised the system. The report
stated that 1t was the opinion of the men,
bers that there was no foundation for Mr.
Griswold's charge
A resolution was unanimously adopted
indorsing the bills introduced by Senator
Walthall and Representative Richardson
in the Senate and House. respectively, to
permit the Capital Railway Company to
carry its cars across the bridge by cleo
tricity.
The committee on schools reported that
a petition was some time ago sent to the

building, anG also a bid from Il painter
Offering to erase what are considered by
many the disfgurements of the exterior of
the school building. in order that the struc-
ture may have q more pleasing appearance.
The report stated further that there was
more than enough left from the 81 900 ap-
propriated for the building than would be
necessary for the purpose. SO that the Dis
trict would not have to ask Congress for
any appropriation. No response has. how
ever, yet been received i'll reply to the petit
ton.
A member of the committee said that, as
the school building remains at present, it
is in an unfinished condition. The tower,
which was constructed for a clock is al
" tn in md in,
rain beats in, to the great detriment of the
structure.
