1.-THE national committee held a meeting
In the office of the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia on Tuesday afternoon.
November %, when every member was
either present or represented by proxy or
letter After consideration of the views
of the members the following resolution
was adopted unanimously
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that It should represent to Con-
gress that 1t is advisable to change the
date OF Inauguration day to the last Thurs
day in April.
Sentiment Practically Unanimous.
THE national committee desires to state
that there appears to be a practically
unanimous sentiment In the country, ex-
pressed by the governors Of the states and
territories and by the newspaper press. in
favor Of the proposed change of inaugura-
ton day, for obvious reasons; that a day
OF the week, rather than a day Of the
month Is proposed for the new Inaugural
ton day In order to avoid the Inconvenience
of having It clash with Sunday. and that
the national committee desires to have its
resolution considered on It's merits without
being complicated by disputed questions as
to the beginning or the termination of the
term of Congress The national committee
recognizes the fact that the discussion Of
these questions has heretofore prevented
favorable action on the proposition to
change the Inauguration day.
'aThe national committee Is very sensi-
BILE of the necessity for action by Congress
CnnQraSH
proposes the amendment Of the Constitu-
lion on this subject the state legislatures
meeting next winter may pass upon the
question"

WELCOMED
THE new
PASTOR

Last evening the members OF the Ieefer-
son Street Baptist church gatherSi in
very large numbers, large enough, I'm fact,
to hll the church, to join hands with the
speakers especially invited in extending
the hand of fellowship to the new pastor,
Rev. Arthur Train Belknap.
The services OF the evening commenced
with the singing OF n hymn and the read
Ing OF the scripture lesson. A prayer I'D
by Rev. j. Proude OF the Ruggles Street
Primitive Methodist church followed and
then the choir rendered a selection
The services proper began then with the
address OF welcome on behalf of the
church by Rev George r.. Atha, assist
ant pastor Of the First Baptist church.
His address was brief but interesting his
theme being the large. broad conception
of Christ and the wish that the people
Of the congregation 10 which Mr.. Belknap
had come would do all in its power To re-
alize and to teach of the wonderful love
OF God
The welcome OF the community was
given I'm short allegorical address G'y
Rev. j. Med. Hervey. lie spoke OF the
breadth of the community and welcomed
the pastor not only TO the members OF
hts congregation, but also TO the whole
section, His address was interesting In
the number OF and uniqueness of the
stories related in illustrating his points.
IL also contained a number OF bits Of ad-
vice 10 the pastor as 10 what sections
OF the city he should consider as ;ha COM
munity saying that all sections should
be included.
THE HAND OF FELLOWSHIP.
DR. Henry NJ. King then extended the
hand OF fellowship with few excellent
remarks saying that Mr.. Belltnap had
come To the church as one OF process
sion, yet he hoped that he would he able
TO remain long enough 10 leave his i'm
press and influence upon the community.
At present, said DR.. King. there were
but three astors over the same churches
that were here when he first came to this
state. They were Rev. Mr.. Geta of New
port. Rev. Edward Holyoke Of Calvary
Baptist and one other. He hoped that
Rev Mr. Belknap would remain as the
people would allow him. In extending
to him the hand OF fellowship he recog-
nized i'm the young ministers fitness, sin
csrity and usefulness.
Miss Mae Cole then sang a solo, Just
for Today" after which Rev. Il. T. Liv-
ingstone delivered the address to the
church Rev. Mr.. Livingstone was pas
tor of the church for five and one-half
years, being succeeded by Rev. Mr.. Bel
knap. n addressing the church he said
that the pastor strongly needed two
things. sympathy and cooperation.
The last address OF the evening was
that given by Rev. L. l.. Henson, and
to his duties. A hymn was then sung
and Rev. Mr.. Belknap delivered the benc-
diction. lie came to the jefferson Street
church from Andover, Mass,
After the benedlction there was a gen
eral handshaking by those present.
