attended With a membership of fourteen,
the club is in a flourishing condition, with
very bright prospects for the future
The Brotherhood of St Andrew is well
represented in the little chapel. Two chap
tiers have been organized Senior No. ) and
a Junior chapel, composed of the members
of the Boys Club. In fact, the entire
chapel may be called a chapter of the
Brotherhood. it having been fostered and
built up by that organization.
The regular Sunday services are held in
the chapel throughout the year, but being
without a regularly ordained minister, there
is but one communion service each month,
the second Sunday. During the summer the
usual Wednesday evening prayer services
omitted. The music is furnished by a
volunteer choir, but the chapel now has a
salaried organist.
The building occupied by the chapel is a
two-story frame structure, built many years
ago and formerly occupied as a residence.
1t stands on a high terrace in the center
of a large tract of land under the shade of
many fine old trees. The house was built
after the once-popular colonial style of
architecture, with an arched center doorway
opening into wide entrance hall.
On the right of the hall is the Sunday
school room, the capacity of which is taxed
every Sunday morning. The regular weekly
meetings of ST. Agnes Guild are held in this
room, and owing to the fact that every soci-
ETY. of the chapel is a member of the guild,
these meetings are practically congregation
al meetings. The Sunday school room is
also used the office, in which the records
of the chapel kept and all business
transacted.
The room on the other side of the hall is
the Sunday school library and reading room
A small bookcase at one end of the room
accommodates the present small library, but
the depleted condition of the shelves gives
evidence of the fact that though small the
library has healthy circulation, more than
half of the books being out at all times.
Back of the library is the boys room, set
apart for the Boys Club. The youngsters
use this as a play room, the club meetings
being held in the Sunday school room. In
their room, which at present has been
turned into q carpenter shop the boys spend
the time playing games and indulging in
other innocent and instructive amusements.
At the club meetings however, the romping
boy of the play room Is all business, plan
ming ways and means of helping in the up
building of the little chapel. 1t is evident,
from the manner in which the young people
are provided for, that both Mr.. Holmead
and Mr.. Watson are firm believers in the
oft-repeated truism that the youth of to-
day is the man of tomorrow.
In the rear of the building is large

1T MADE HER TIRED,
Forcible Protest of a Young Woman
Against Long Sermons.

In the northwestern section Of this city
there Is young woman who a charmer
of hearts is considered. by no end of folks
to be without a peer. The suns of exactly
three summers have kissed her curly
brown hair and she rejoices in the more or
less classic name of Gladys.
Recently Gladys was visitor at the home
of her grandfather who is a well-known
Baptist preacher in Westmoreland county,
Va, and on one Sunday during her sojourn
complimented the grandfather by attending
church with her grandmother to hear the
reverend gentleman discourse.
All went very well for awhile until
Gladys became fidgetty. She thought lit
tie while and then determined to act. So
leaving the pew in which she sat she
walked down the aisle and took up posi-
ton directly in front of the altar rail-and
there. to the surprise and CONSERVATION Of
the whole congregation, she made known
that in her opinion it was about time to
sing the Doxology.
Grandpa" sang out the little woman
grandpa, what are you talking so much
for? Why don't you stop? I'm tired and
want to go home. Besides, I'm hungry and
want my dinner"
Her effort was successful. The sermon
was ended, but the probability Is that Miss
Gladys will be much older before she again
enjoys the felicity of attending her grand
fathers church.

kitchen, which has been fitted out with
modern utensils. From this kitchen, pre-
sided over by the ladies of the guild ema-
mated the many successful suppers the pro-
ceeds from which helped to buy the chapel
building. The members of the guild are
energetic workers. and at least once a week
give supper or festival on the spacious
lawn surrounding the chapel.
The auditorium of the chapel IS on the
second floor, which is reached by means of
an old-fashioned stairway at the end of the
hall While the original construction of the
building permitted a convenient appropria-
ton of the rooms on the ground floor with
out alteration. it was found necessary to
remodel the upper floor somewhat in order
to provide suitable auditorium. The prob
lem. however, was not difficult and was
solved by merely removing the two parti-
lions between the two front rooms and the
wide upper hall. This gave one large room
extending the full length of the building.
The chancel and altar were built against
the eastern wall and the seats were ar
ranged in the west end of the building, with
one aisle through the center The audi
torium has seating capacity of eighty-five,
but in order not to cause uncomfortable
crowding only seventy-five chairs are
placed 1t j frequently necessary. how
ever, to put the extra chairs. This can
be done at any time without confusion by
merely reducing the width of the usually
wide aisle. In point of size this little audi
forum is but trifie larger than that at the
Chapel of the Nativity, East Capitol
Washington.
The original altar cross, which was made
of wood and gilded, has been supplanted by
a handsome cross of polished brass. Here
again the spirit of the youth of st. Agnes
Chapel is manifested. This beautiful cross
was presented to the chapel by the Boys
Club. The little fellows worked hard and
earnestly to raise the money with which to
purchase it. They sold newspapers ran
errands and did all kind of odd jobs at
home and for neghbors. 1t was the biggest
thing they had ever undertaken, and they
went into it with all the enthusiasm of
youth.
st. Agnes has no particularly definite plan
for the future except the enlargement of it's
auditorium, but it has very bright future
before 1t and is on a fair road to an in
crease in scope and usefulness. Mr.. Hol-
mead is a most enthusiastic leader and in
the Trinity Chapter of the Brotherhood of
ST Andrew he has a band of co-workers
equally as enthusiastic Such a combina-
ton bids fair TO carry little St. Agnes on
ward to greater things and time may see
the little chapel transformed into a great,
influential church.

buildings are greatly needed. A great gift
from the men of the church put into the
hands of the board of missions over ard
above the annual expenses, would give the
work of the church an impetus as II has
never before had. 1t is, however, within the
scope of the plan that an individual shall
be al liberty to indicate a building part
of building or an endowment or some
other permanent use as the object to which
he desires his Offering to be applied"
central committee of three has charge
of the work in the United States 1t consists
of the bishop coadjutor of New York, repre-
sentng the clergy, and Messrs George G..
Thomas and George W. Pepper, prominent
laymen. Besides the diocesan committees,
parish committees will be selected to aid
in the work.
Little much is asked, and each giver is
allowed the option of making his gift in
three installments If he so desires. Reports
of progress made will be rendered f,om
time to time to the general officers.
The great missionary thank Offering
movement is already under way. and by
1907 it is predicted that the results will be
startling.

The youngest and one of the smallest and
most interesting chapels in Washington is
St. Agnes Protestant Episcopal Chapel. at
4th street and New York avenue northwest
This little chapel also has the distinction of
being the only one in the city that was
founded by the Brotherhood of ST. Andrew
To reach the parishioners residing in the
northern extremity of Trinity parish which
extends from the railroad tracks in South
Washington to r street northwest, was the
problem which confronted the vestry of
Trinity parish, and which Trinity chapter
of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew solved
quite satisfactorily in 1903 by opening this
little chapel on New York avenue 1t was
found that Trinity Church drew but few
from the territory north of K street the
distance from this section to the church
being a great handicap; but since st. Ag-
mes was founded there has been large
increase In the number of communicates
especially during the past year.
The chapel was started originally az a
mission, but is now a regularly credited
chapel The building 1t occupies was rented
at first, the rest and, in fact, all the run
ming expenses being paid by voluntary
contributions and from funds raised by the
bought and paid for and now stands with
out membranes of any nature. This was
accomplished principally through the untir-
ing efforts of the ladies of the chapel
The chapel is under the direct charge of
Mr.. Charles III. Holmead, jr., who succeed
ed Mr. Roger Walker, now in Japan Mr.
Holmead, who is a student at the Virginia
Seminary, came to the chapel in October
1904 At that time there were only eight
communicates, while today there are fifty
six. OF this number a large mai ority came
from the confirmation class which was pre-
scented March last. and some few by
transfer from other parishes.
The Sunday school, with a splendid corps
of teachers, is under the superintendent of
Mr. Thomas II. Watson. Mr. Watson exerts
a wonderful influence over the children by
whom he is both loved and respected, and
under his guidance the Sunday school has
increased In numbers well as usefulness
One of the interesting features of this little
chapel is the Boys Club, composed of the
youngsters of the parish, ranging in ages
from twelve to fifteen years. The club
meets at the chapel, and during the winter
months the meetings are frequent and we'll

NEW EDITION OF. THE ENGLISH BIBLE
COMPLETED.

LONDON. August 5.-Though nearly 200
years have elapsed since the English Bible
was first given to the world in the language
and the form In which 1t has exercised its
unrivaled and fundamental influence upon
English life, English character and English
history up to the present time. it has never
been worthily printed. Though other works
have been given appropriate settings the
Bible has waited until the present month to
receive that splendor and dignity of external
shape which one would have thought would
have been its birthright from the day on
which the translators rested from their
labors.
Bibles in other tongues have had their
great editions-indeed. the first book that
ever issued from the press of Gutenburg-
the so-called "Mazarin Bible"-remains the
most splendid specimen of typography that
has ever been achieved by the industry of
man. But as for the English. who have
a translation that puts to shame the efforts
of all other rendering. they have to tn
day been content with such type and paper
as once extorted from oculist the grim
verdict that more eyesight had been de-
stroyed by reading modern Bibles than
from all other causes combined.
But at last after many years the charge
OF nauonal neglect must now be withdrawn.
Mr.. Cobden-S anderson' magnificent edition
has been completed. and though, from its
unavoidable costliness, it must needs be a
treasure for few besides the wealthy. there
remains nothing which lavish expense
technical perfection of impression and
reverent and minute carefulness could add
to this noble work of presenting the Eng
lish Biolc in form final and exquisite
