DIR. Stafford on Richard H."

The sale of seats for the lecture Richard
Ill" to be delivered at the New National
Theater by the Rev. D. j. Stafford, ID. D.,
tomorrow evening, is now in progress, and
Judging by the demand for tickets at the
box office a large audience will be in at
tendance. Much interest has been mani
tested in this lecture by lovers of Shakes
peare and indeed by all those who in the
past have heard DR.. Stafford upon this and
kindred subjects.
In his description and delineation of the
character of Richard III and in his deduc-
tons from the lesson taught in the life and
tragic ending of this one of the most cele-
brated of Shakespeare's characters DR..
Stafford has ample opportunity for the dis
play of his powers of expression and elo-
cuton. In some respects Richard Ill is the
most powerful we'll the most dram
attic figure in Shakespeare's work; and the
many phases of his character present a
wide scope for the lecturers talents.
The boxes have already been secured by
a number of prominent people and church
dignitaries, including Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Falconio, the apostolic delegate,
and the rector and faculty of the Catholic
University, and is given under the auspices
of the Knights of Columbus of the District
of Columbia. The details are in charge of
a central committee from the membership
of the order.

Religious Education in Schools Not
Favored.

Resolutions against the proposition to in
troduce religious instruction In the local
public schools have been adopted by the In
dependent Order of Birth Abraham, Dis
trict of Columbia Lodge, No. 222. This
lodge represents one hundred and sixty
families residing in the District.
The Introduction of religious teachings in
the public schools, it is stated is entirely at
variance with the spirit of the federal
Constitution, which guarantees religious
liberty and makes the church private in
stitution, and under the disguise of moral
instruction these guarantees will not only
be defeated but actually violated"
Those who voted for the resolutions also
feel certain that such teachings as have
been proposed by Rev. Dr. Randolph H.
McKim, and the majority of the recent
meeting of clergy and laymen, will bring
out conflicts between ancient races and re-
igionS, thus foster race prejudice and
religious bigotry in the young. 1t is be-
lieved to be impossible to establish "a
standard text book system of moral or
religious instructionsthat will be fair to all,
and that to prefer one creed to another is
a menace to the fundamental and consti-
tional liberties of this country.
In concluding the resolutions present the
following paragraph:
I'VE hold religion to be philosophy and as
such children of the age usually attending
public school not ready and mature to
imbibe its doctrines, and instead of a bet
ter generation that this measure is intend
ed to help develop we will cultivate a big
oted and fanatical race of partiSanS that
must ultimately cause the overthrow of
this republic and establish the old and
benevolent sway of the middle age in
quisitors.''
The set of resolutions is signed by Jos.
the following members: S. Berman, J. Horn
stein, S. Gordon and j. Kendall.
