Unlike European monarchs. who

special place of worship as part of
the state church." the President of
the United States selects his own place
of worship in Washington, much as
would any other person who went
there TO live, and attends its services
without ostentation of any sort. Since
regular public receptions at the White
House have been discontinued, the
Presidents church is generally overruD
with slghtseers. AIr. Roosevelt at

new edifice, completed since he be-
came President, seats about five hun
dred persons; before that he worshiped
with the society in a chapel less thar
half as commodious. Presidents
Grant, Hayes and Mckinley attended
Methodist churches; General Garfield,
during his long Congressional career,
as well as after his elevation to the
presidency, was identified with the
Disciples" or christians" Their
present church, one of the strongest in
the city, is called the GARFIELD Memo

copalian, and attended st. Johns. just
