the groundwork OF the organization
were Senator Lee Mantle. j. T.. Hendry,
A. J. Fisk, Alex DeVine n VIII ken
nedy. These gentlemen. all OF whom
are still alive but Kennedy and Hendry,
were the committee on constitution ana
bylaws. Alex Devine. though a re-

The service was conducted BY Bishop

rector of the church and close friend
of the dead physician. He was asSis ed
by Dr. Alexander Mackay-Smith, whose
reading of the Episcopal ritual was very
impressive.
The floral offerings were handsome and
the chancel of the church was hid behind
a mass of flowers. which seemed to take
on an additional beauty in the subdued

The second Sunday since the Episcopal
convention assembled in this city proved
to be. if possible, even more attractive
to the church-going public of Washington
than the first. At all the Episcopal
churches services of exceptional interest
We're held in the morning afternoon
and evening, and each service was notable
on account of the participation of one or
more of the reverend fathers of the
:hurch.
The occasion was made much of through
out the various tparishes and the churches
were filed practically all day. The bishops
made their presence felt by inaugurating
a pronounced spiritual awakening They
aroused their hearers TO a renewed sense
Of the magnitude and responsibilities of
the church and pressed home the need of
increased individual effort Several spec.
ial services were held for children. at
which they were talked to entertainingly
and for their instruction.

at jamestown, said: at seemed to link
more closely in cur minds the relation
which the church has borne to the nation

DEL1vERANcE FROM SIN.
Better to Be Freed From the Fowe,
Than the Penalty.

Better to BE Freed From, the Power
Than the Penalty.
The Rt Rev. Thomas L. Dudley, Bishop
of Kentucky, preached at the morning
service at St. Marks Pro-Cathedral. The
sermon was brief, but beautiful in word
and thought, the argument OF the speaker
being to SHOW that the deliverance from
the influence and power of sin is much
greater and better than to be freed from
tine penalty itself.
Bishop Dudley took his text from
Matthew-"Take up thy bed and walk
and in developing the subject told the
story of the sick and palsied man being
brought to Jesus Christ to be cured. A
great crowd had gathered. many of whom
were doubling the power of Christ to
make whole again the sick man.
Christ, however, knew exactly what
thoughts We're passing in their minds
they were arguing within themselves the
question, who but God can forgive SIM
Christ knew full well what was agitating
their hearts, so he did not say as he did
to the woman of SHmaria. Thy sins are
forgiven but instead to the sick and pal
sled man who had been brought TO him
10 be cured he said, Take up thy bed
and walk" and straightway the man who
had been an invalid for years picked up
his pallet and walked into the house. to
the wonder and surprise of the doubters
and unbelievers.
The great questions for the Christian to
solve are Are my sins forgiven and if
so lam walking" in the right path? Je-
sus Christ, the speaker said, will absolve
all who are truly penitent.
After the sermon the sacrament OF COM
munion was administered to a large num-
ber of the congregation by Bishop Dudley,
assisted by the Rt Rev. Henry Y. Satter-
lee. bishop of the diocese of Washington

TRUE WORK OF TIE CHURCH.
Its Responsibilities in the Life of
the Nation DIscnsse,i


Our responsibilities as a church in the
life of the nation" was the subject dis
cussed last night in St Johns Church by
Bishop Dcane and the Rev. Dr. Hunt
ington. the services being under the au-
spices of the Brotherhood of St Andrew.
Rev. DR.. Maellay-Smith conducted the
devotional exercises and introduced the
speakers.
Bishop Doane, who spoke first, referred
to the pilgrimage to jamestown in pre-
facing his remarks, and said that it was
peculiarly appropriate celebration at
this time. He touched on the historic
points of the establishment of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church in America, and
said it was not true, as had been stated,
that its members at the time of it's estab-
iishment and even since that time, were
not iii harmony with the principles of this
Government. This had been disproved
all down through the years since that
time, he said and history would show
that its members had supported and de-
Tended in every way the country and the
principles upon which ii is founded.
Bishop Doane deprecated the lack of
respect for those in authority both in
ligious and civil life. He did not mean
TO say that the church should teach pol
itics, he said, but If what was termed
politics had not been dragged down and
degraded, besTuirched and bemired until
no respectable man could touch them, he
would urge that the church should teach
them.
1t was the duty of the church to see
that its citizens were properly educated
to discharge the duty of citizenship.
u think that what We call free schools
should be kept free from intrusion and
interference of any political or religious
party he concluded.
Rev. DIR. Huntington. of New York, was
introduced next. He began by saying:
THE responsibilities of the church are
three-fold: First, to teach faith; second,
to organize and maintain worship, and
the third responsibility is to promote
brotherliness between man and man.
There is in this church society for
the promotion of the interests of the
working people," continued DIR. Hunting
ton. Il have many friends in that
society. bur ] have never seen my way
clear to join it. l have been waiting until
there shall be a society formed for the
promotion of the interests of capital
When that is done / shall join both and
devote my whole time to bring about an
amalgamation of the two. That is the
true work of the church
The service was concluded with a few
remarks by Rev. DIR. Mackay-Smith, who
predicted that the time was not far dis
tant when the conflict between capital
and labor would be amicably settled by
both parties being imbued with the true
spirit of Christianity.

PREsERvATIvE OF FAITH.
One of the Most Frequent Sayings
of Christ.

Bishop Nicholson of Milwaukee, preach
ed during the morning service yesterday
at ST. James Church, on Eighth Street,
near Massachusetts Avenue. His text
was: Have salt in yourselves and have
peace one with another" part OF the
fifteenth verse of the ninth chapter OF 81.

The words of the text was one OF our
Lords most pungent sayings. II was His
way of telling men the Importance of a

now. We know the great truths of the
gospel of Jesus Christ
"It is the salt that comes from all the
sacraments that has the SAVIOR to save
the world from corruption. Rome and
Greece went down, but the church,
founded on the gospel of Christ, went on,
and will continue to go on. One little
grain of spiritual salt will save your
souls. These grains of salt are good old

to the living faith what the bones are to

Proof of the Resurrectton

'If thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved was the text
of the sermon preached by Bishop Dud-
ley at the Trinity Church last night.
THE proof of the resurrection of Christ
Is the strongest in history" said the
bishop 1.-The simple fact of the exist
ence of the Bible is the strongest of
proofs. The existence of charitable insti-
tutions, hospitals and orphanages is suffi
cient without any other. In the days of
the Romans. woman was bargained for
and sold a slave; since the birth of
Christ the change in the position of wo-
man is remarkable testimony to the fact
of Christ's resurrection"
