JUSTICE HARLAN
CATHEDRAL PROJECT WILL NOT REoUIRE HIM TO LEAVE BENCH
Noted JurI.t Says He Would Devote Much of His Time to Presbyterian Cathedral If General Assembly
 Takes Favorable Action.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
 Justice Harlan was asked yesterday as to the truth of the report that he would retire from the Supreme Cout bench and devote the remainder or ms life to the raising of funds for the erec- tion of a Presbyterian Cathedral in Washington, the movement for whlcn was started by him, in case the Fres- byterian General Assembly takes Ia- vorable action in the matter.
 Tn the circular letter which l sent out in February" said Justice Harlan q did say that if the general plan suggested by me was approved by the church at large. and my services were needed, I would take pride in devotins a large part of the time remaining to me in cooperating with others in es- tabIishing here what, for want or better word, might be called the ca thedraI church of our denomination at the National Capital. But l did not say that l would retire from the Tpencn merely to aid in that work. Ihat would not be necessary"
 Being asked directly whether he in- tended to retire from the bench in the near future, he said: T have formed no purpose to retire at any particular time. My work Is most agreeable to me, and. as I now think, l will keep at it steadily until I must stop, or nntli my friends tell Ipe that lt 10 my N' to stop" u,-
 The justice was asked whether his proposed cathedral, if erected. would De of the Catholic or Episcopal kind. He said: "I care nothing for mere words The word Catholic does not disturb me. Episcopaliaus and Catholics have no exclusive right to cathedral struc- lures. There are Presbyterian cathe- draIs in Scotland, the home of Pres byterianism. In my circular letter to Presbyterian ministers and laymen distinctly stated that the historical cathedral had no place in non-pre- latIcal system like ours. and that the word cathedral was used for the want of a better word. and to indicate g structure of such dimensions, impress siveness, dignity. and equipment. as | would fairly represent at the Nationa | Capital a denomination which hac much to do with establishing our na' tion on its present foundations of lib l erty and safety--a Presbyterian minis | ter. if you please--a building tha would have some of the features oi | what is known as the Institutions | Church-not one for mere show ana pretentious ornament The whole mat l ter depends upon the assembly. If tha | body is content with the present situa | ton, so far as Presbyterianism at th' National Capital is concerned. ant

TOO MUCH WRITING
 OFTEN BRINGS TROUBLE

of unkind opinion of the COW in words that wouldn't do for print. He excused the use of the words, at that time, on the ground of the requirements of the occasion. He has been wiser man ever since and is careful about how he behaves in the COW pen. He FGs his faults but he's the very pillar Hf our church and I think as he grows Cld he stays at home more than he used to and is growing more thoughtful ana considerate of his wife. He Is so much more helpful about the house aad his behavior is so improved that I some times think he is preparing to die ard 1t makes me sad. 1 don't want him to leave me, but if he has to go, l want to remain here to see what the folks have to say about marking the perfect man and beholding the upright
 From the first l knew my husband would be watched pretty close as deacon and I did all 1 could to mako his burden easy. Of course l made him toe the mark at home and when ever he got to cutting up around me and the children I wasn't slow to re- mind him that he was a deacon and a pretty poor one at that, and in this pleasant way I got him up to be pretty fair deacon. Now, that l think of it, I'm afraid I worried him some times when cOuiu nave uoue "tIltI- wise. It may be that l was 100 strict on him. He told me once that If l would talk less and stay at home more he could serve the Lord better. It Is hardly necessary for me to rep eat what I said on that occasion but It was per- suasive and my husband learned from that day not to measure his service by my domestic arrangements.
 hope, dear brother. that you will continue to try to improve our hus- bands and deacons, for the Lord knows they need it. I feel sure you're a model of a husband and sweet spirited.
 May the Lord bless you.

Editor The Advertiser:
 It is related of Roman Emperor Che is now deceased) that when, early in his administration, a death warrant was presented for his signature, he burst into tears and expressed re- erret that he had learned to write. Sometime afterwards his heart became very hard and he loved to see blood flowing and heads falling till his best friends were ashamed of him. wouldn't like to give it as my opinion that this enforced penmanhip Gin the matter of warranty changed his heart from tender to hard, but there is a fla tality about too much writing. I mean that the unwise indulgence is likely to bring trouble.
 am enjoying the experience this week of the indiscretiOn of week ago. I wrote you q letter in which, with great reluctance and much sor- row. I mentioned an exception of dea- con lone who swore in the presence of a gentleman) and alluded, in distant manner, to an unfortunate way l had fallen into of being a Chesterheld- away from hime.
 It has been my good fortune hereto fore to receive letters of commenda- tion of my political and religious mo- tions, expressed in my letters to you, and I have been made glad.

 I enclose a part of my mail this week to let you see that have trespassed on holy ground with my shoes on.
 Of course, there is some hidden com fort in one or two of the inclosures for which my weary heart is thankful. l couldn't exactly understand the one signed Legion" but I suppose the writer did and 1t is not entirely lost.

Dear Sir and Brother:-My attention has been called to your late letter in The Advertiser re1ecting Cor intended that way on deacons. The brother who desired me to read 1t, tells me that he has read enough of your miserable attempts, to know that you claim to be a Baptist. One trouble with the Baptist church is that fellows like you can get in-more's the pity. One trouble with our newspapers Is, that the pitiable abortions of your brain can get into print.
