, The long and honorable llfe-story OF Po-
Fhlck Church Is interviewer with the his
tory of Virginia, the American colonies and
the United States. 1t was the place of
prayer of two master spirits of the revo-
lution-George Washington and George Ma
son-as we'll as of many other devoted
though humber patriots. In this vener-
able church sat representatives of the Fair
fax family, who without intent, taught the
great commons of Virginia that king
could do wrong. 1t would seem no exagger-
alton to say that the Pohick congregation
did more than many greater churches, and
as much as any other church in the new
world, to promote the thought of liberty
force a severance from Great Britain and
carry the revolution to success. And this
IS not to underrate the influence of some
OF the churches of New England. Pohick
Church in way deserves rank with the
house OF burgesses at Williamsburg and
with Faneuil Hail. It Is a heritage which
all Americans should think of reverently
for to look on these old walls is to recall
the struggle of the national fathers and
to stimulate patriotic sentiment.
Some historic relics are magnifed out Of
due proportion to the era of which they
are reminiscent, while others meriting dis
tlnction are little known. Some landmarks
of the past have not had the limelght
turned on them and the reason for their
obscurity is because they are difficult of
access. So It is with Pohck This church
stands about seven miles southwest of
Mount Vernon Its site is a plateau most
ly of wide fields but with here and there
short stretches of woodland grown up since
the civil war Few dwellings are within
sight of the church. The nearest hamlet
is Accotink, two miles northeast. The
rector Is the Rev. Edward Meade. a grand
son of that Bishop Meade, who in the first
half Of the last century wrote an ex-
haustive history of the old families and
old churches of Virginia.

of the legislative session. 1t follows:
These were, as yet. the aristocratical
days of Virginia. The estates were large
and continued In the same families by en-
tails. Many OF the wealthy planters were
connected with old families in England.
The young men. especially the elder sons,
were often sent to finish their education
there and their return brought out
the tastes and habits of their mother coun-
try. The governors of Virginia were from
the higher ranks of society and maintain
ed a corresponding state The establish
ed or Episcopal Church predominated
throughout the ancient dominion" as 1t
was termed each county was divided into
parishes as In England-each with It's pa
rochial church. It's parsonage and glebe.
Washington was vestryman of two parishes
Fairfax and Truro-the parochial church
of the former was at Alexandria, ten miles
from Mount Vernon. of the latter at Po-
hick about seven miles. The church at
Pohick was rebuilt on plan OF his own
and in great measure at his expense. At
one or other of these churches he attend
ed every Sunday when the weather and the
roads permitted. His demeanor was rev.
erential and devout. Mrs. Washington
knelt during prayers: he always stood. as
was the custom at that time. Both were

Washington Irving was confused as to
Washingtons relation to Pohick. The time

coming. Either they are well provided or
they can wait until later In the season."
Three millions, then, is not an excessive
estimate of the New York outlay for
headwear. 1t may sound extravagant. but
there are a lot of women in New York; at
least half of them can raise the price of
an Easter hat and IL they have the money
their eagerness for the hat Is astonishing.
Weeks before Easter you can see them
crowding around the display windows of
18th and 23d streets, 9th avenue and Broad
way, with eyes fastened upon the punches
OF straw. lace. feathers and flowers that
make up the hat of fashion. The comic
paper joke about the ruinous prices of the
Easter bonnet originated years ago. OF
course woman can spend as much now
as ever she could for hat or bonnet. but
one can get a remarkably elaborate crea-
ton for IS or SO or even less. The silk
may be mostly cotton and the flowers of the
most perishable description, but they make
a brave show all the same. For $50 you
can buy hat that would startle any COM
munity. So much for the Easter bonnet.
There appears to be no relation between
price and size in the matter of Easter out
lay. for expert opinion agrees that New
York spends no more on gowns than on
hats. The reason Is that unlike some cities
In America, New York has no distinctive
Easter costume. In the south a new gown
of light shade Is just essential as a new
hat Here any costume will answer for the
day, and four or five shopkeepers agreed

Therefore at the time of which Irving
wrote Washington and his wife attended
only Pohick Church, which was not ere
built on a plan of his own and In great
measure at his expense"
A story of Pohick would have little merit
that did not give more than passing refer
ence to It's patriot parishioner, George Ma
son of Gunston Hall. He was descended
from the Colonel Mason who sat in the
English parliament under Charles l. fought
through the civil war under the banner of
the house of Stuart, and when Charles IL
was beaten at Worcester escaped to Vir-

Lawrence Washington. was evicted and
pauperized for his loyalty to the cavalier
cause. Sir Henry Washington. an ancestor
of Washington the Great, fought with Ru-
pert and In 1851 distinguished himself at
Worcester by holding that place to the last
extremity against the troops of General
Fairfax. of whom Macaulay says: Fair

rifle shot of the other. Another matter
worth noting is that the position of the de-
scendants was reversed. Washington and
Mason opposing the royal cause and Fair
fax supporting it.
1t was Mason, "the Sage of Gunston,"
who, after conference and correspondence
with Washington, drew up the non-impor-
tation resolutions offered by Washington in,
and adopted by. the Virginia assembly in
1863. One of these resolutions pledged the
signers to buy no slaves imported after
November l. 1869. Mason was the author

at Pohick. SO was Mary Cary of Hamp-

Of George Washington, but for causes over
which the chroniclers of Washington
youth disagree. But it were bootless to
try to recall all the colonial notables who
gathered there.
When Washington, as a pupil of Mr.. Hob
by at Fredericksburg and of Mr.. Williams
at Bridges creek, got a vacation he sped
to Mount Vernon. The young Fairfaxes
were congenial playmates. Thus many Sum
days of his childhood were passed at Pc
hick Church. After his fathers death, April
II. 1743. George vibrated between his mo-
theirs home on the Rappahannock at Fred

creek. occupied by Augustine Washington
and Mount Vernon. From the time that he
took up his permanent abode at Mount
Vernon In 1747 until he became a pewhold-
er at Christ Church. Alexandria, after the
close OF the revolution, Pohick was Wash
irgton's spiritual home.
There were two Pohick churches. and
this has led to much Misunderstanding
In the minds of those persons who have
written of Pohick. Pohick Church was
the first in Truro parish, which had been
carved out of Detlngen parish. which had
been carved out of Hamilton parish. wherein
preached LOT d long Time the stSF MI
Keith. grandfather of Chief Justice John
Marshall. Truro parish was created in
1872. the year of Washington's birth.
frame church was erected on high land
overlooking Pohick creek. In 1865, that
church showing symptoms of decay, the
question of rebuilding or removal came
before the vestry. Washington favored re-
moval to a more central site. George
Mason of Gunston Hall opposed removal.
Washington prepared a map of the parish
showing the houses of members of the con-
gregaton and pointed out as the central
location that which the present church oc
cupies. Construction of the new church
was begun in 176S and. the last payment
1772. The congregation moved into the
trymen for that church follows: George
Washington. George Mason, Daniel McCar
ty. Alexander Henderson. Thomas Elzey.
Thomas WIthers Golfer, Peter Waggener,
Thomas Ford Martin Cockham. William
Triplett, William Payne. jr.. John Barry.
John Gunnell and Thomas Triplett This
information comes from the vestry book
of the new Pohick, which for many
years thought lost, but which Mr.. Slaughter,
the Virginia historian. found in the keeping
of the New York Historical Society.
Washington Irving, in chapter XXVI of
his life of Washington. mentions Pohick.
1t is that chapter which contains the MARIA
tive of Washington's installation as
member of the house of burgesses from
Frederick county, of his honeymoon at
White House. the Gusts homestead. and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-04-16

as basis for the computation, 1t can be
readily figured out that New York must
spend at least 81. 500,0O0 on flowers at Eas-
ter. Most of this is in the form of presents.
The churches spend very little of this. and
a comparatively small part of it goes into
the churches even in the form of gifts,
although most IL not all of the most elabo-
rate church decorations are paid for by
some wealthy member of the congregation
When three million people start out to buy
mowers 1t Is easy to see that they can
spend 81 100000 without much trouble.

Another large item OF Easter expenditure
Is candy and the boxes that at this time
of year. 1t must be sent in. One Broadway
shop estimates the Easter increase in It's
business at $1,000 and s25O.OOO would be
low figure for the total outlay for candy
AS to the candy eggs and boxes Of all
shapes. sizes and forms that fill the con-
fectfoners' windows. 1t would be almost i'm
possible to guess at their value. The I'M
ports OF fancy Easter candy boxes and eggs
this year have been enormous, and the
prices range from cents to $50. Hand
painted satin boxes surmounted by beauti-
fuiiy made rabbits. swans and chickens
come from France and are the most expen-
siye Germany sends US the cheaper va
rieties of eggs and receptacles for Easter
candy. They are not made here for the
Simple reason tnat wages or Skilled artisans
are so high in America that II Is cheaper
to buy these gewgaws abroad.
Contributions to the churches are iusig-
nihcant In amount when compared to the
OUTLAWS made for more mundane things
There are above four hundred churches of
one kind or another in Greater New York,
and their total collections on Easter morn
Ing reach about quarter of q million
Twenty of the larger churches have collec-
tons of $1,000 apiece; seventy-five aver
age only $500 apiece. and the remainder
ind much less than $500 in the contribu-
tion boxes.
Here. then. are the items that go to
make up New Yorks Easter outlay of
$9.0O0.OOO II the cost of the many Easter
weddings be added the estimate would have
to be largely increased But it Is large
enough as 1t is. Seven millions for clothes
and $250.000 for the contribution box tells
the story as well as Ii need be told The
figures probably co not represent the actual
proportions Of the average New Yorker
material and spiritual interests, but there
Is the bald fact-out of nine millions spent
In connection with the observance of Eas-
ter, the church gets thirty-seventh part.
