letter addressed to Congregationalists on
Capitol Hill and sent out under date of

"A meeting is called fer all those who are

commit yourself to the enterprise. We wish
to assure you that we desire your cordial
sympathy in this movement and Shall not

to Its organization.

gether devise those things which make for

If effected will include members of the

Ashes in ST. Paul's.

When Sir George Williams, founder of
the Y. NJ C. A, is laid to rest in ST. Paul,s
Cathedral, the noble words of Tennyson
will be charged, in the case OF man who
spent sixty years of his life under the
shadow of the great dome, with new sig
nificance:
Where shall we lay the man whom we deplore
Here, tn streaming London's central roar,
Let the sound of those he wrought for,
And the feet Of those he fought for,
Echo round his bones for eyermore.
Naval and military heroes dominate st.
Paurs, but to a man of peace-to John
Howard, the prisoner reformer. who died in
179O-belongs the distinction Of the first
monument In Sir Christopher Wren's new

cares also for the men who fought and
wrought for the arts of peace.
What a majestic roll 1t is-Benjamin
West. Reynolds. Lawrence, Landseer. Opie.
the man who welded color to music-Sir
Arthur Sullivan. Since Sullivan's death, In
1900, there has been no public funeral IN
st. PauPs. Funerals, in modern times,
have been rarer in the cathedral than in
the abbey. and they have included fewer
types Of greatness. Architects. as BELTS Its
builder, have been welcomed to st. Paups,
but not the poets or the scientists. There
Is more room here, however, than at West

set at Sir Henry Irvings burial be adopted,
the eminent among US during the next hun
dred years may die hopefully.

SAILORS AND THE CHURCH.
Pathos of Their Lives Makes Them OBJ

From the New York Observer.

From the New York Observer.
Those who go down to the sea in ships
the ancient observation is, have album
dant opportunity to study the works of
God at first hand and see tremendous won
ders in the deep. But the man who goes
out upon the sea is always in peril, and his
experiences, even when not fraught with
discomfort or disaster are freqently pa
thetic. Poets--many of them from safe
distance on land-have sung of the beau
ties of the ocean, while actual voyasers
have forgotten all distinctions between
prose and poetry in their melancholy suf-
ferings from mai de mer." The sea has
no mercy on those who tempt it's tides
and breezes. Sailors sail at their own risk
and from that fact appears the appro-
priateness of the prayer of the sweet, sad
hymn. For those in peril on the sea"
1t is true that, humanity speaking, as
men seek to average things with their sta
tistics, the perils Of the ocean for the wor-

REVEALS IN MIDDLE AGES.

From the Contemporary Review.
At least two methods seem to be used
among revfvarst workers. both of which
have come down from medieval times
The Franciscans insisted on an obedtent
band of workers, with an almost military
organization. They indeed called them
selves the Army of Jesus" At the head
of the order stood the general q new

Nobody knows just what is meant by
