Washington Heights.
HIS HEARERS AFFECTED
PRESENTATION OF CROSS BLESS

A Proceeding Novel Enough to Be Ex-
ceedingly Interesting-His
Text.

Rev. e. Lawrence Hunt preached his
last sermon as pastor of the Washington
Heights Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning. His resignation rendered some
time ago, will take effect September /. The
members of the congregation were much
affected by the parting with their pastor.
At the close of the sermon an incident
occurred, which was novel enough to be
unusually interesting: The pastor present
ed to a little girl, who had been brought up
in the Roman Catholic faith, but had also
attended the Sunday school of the Wash
ington Heights Church for some years and
shown exceptional brightness, a cross,
blessed by Cardinal Gibbons at Mr.. Hunts
request.
Mr.. Hunts text was, II will run the way
of Thy commandments. when Thou shalt
enlarge my htart,' Psalm 1882. THE
Christian he said "is large-hearted The
narrow bigot, more petty with age, Is a

Funeral of Charles II. Baker.

The funeral services over the remains OF
the late Charles H. Baker, who died at his
apartment in the Olympia Saturday even
ing took place from Wrights undertaking
establishment, 1887 10th street northwest, at
2 o'clock this afternoon. The services were
conducted by the Rev. ]. G. Butler. pastor
of the Luther Place Memorial Church.
Mr. Baker was employed as a draughts-
man In the patent Office and had been in
Ill health for some time, finally contracting
lung troubles which ended in his death. He
was the first draughtsman appointed under
the civil service system. When he received
his appointment he was greatly surprised
as he was without political influence. His
! three sisters-Mrs. A. w. Parker Mrs F.
w Denniston and Miss j. E. Baker-survive
him. The services were private and the
interment was in Rock Creek cemetery.

Congregation Startled.
The congregation, while startled by this
incident, was evidently pleased, and after
the service they commented favorably on
this broad, catholic spirit of their pastor.
Rev. E. Lawrence Hunt has met with
marked success in his chosen field ever
since his graduation from the Knox Sem
nary of Toronto in 1893. Immediately after
his graduation he was called by the in
ternat1Onal committee or the Y. NJ. &. A.
to visit the colleges in California and Cam
ada which he accepted remaining in this
work for about year He then took charge
of the student work in New York city, start
ed by Prof Henry Drummond on his first
visit to this country and spent his leisure
in helping in the establishment of the Will
liam r. George Junior Republic, as the
chairman of the board of trustees In
that connection he came to Washington to
help start the movement for National
Junior Republic by public lectures. Inn
mediately following this he gave his whole
time for a few months to this work, when
he was called to Washington to succeed DR..
Bittnger in the pulpit of Westminster Me-
mortal Church. -Four years ago he found
ed a Presbyterian Church on Washington
Heights and has since held the pulpit of
that church
When Mr.. Hunt resigned, a resolution was
offered at the congregational meeting by
Thos. c. Noyes, one of the deacons and
trustees of the church, commencing in the
strongest terms the officials boards appre-
citation of his pulpit power, his pastoral
fidelity and his manly life among them"
and nstructing the commissioners of the
presbytery Ito use every honorable means
to prevent the acceptance of his resgna
ton" But when Mr.. Hunt insisted on his
resignation, they reluctantly concurred,
and then, a further token of their es-
TEEN, voted a gift of $500.
Mr. Hunt has spent many years in Chris
tan work among college students He eX-
poets to take a church in a western uni
versity town in the near future.

UNION OF CHURCHES.
To Urge Pastor George c. Wilson to
Remain.

A meeting of the congregation of the AS
semblys Presbyterian Church to consider
the resignation of the pastor, Rev. George
C. Wilson, will be held next Thursday
night. 1t is said that the probability is
that a rousing sentiment will demand the
pastor remaining and if he should do so, the
idea of amalgamaton with the First Church
will be laid aside. Statements to the eff
feet that the Assembly's Presbyterian con-
gregation is dissatisfied with the present
pastor or DESTROYS of securing a younger
and more aggressive man, are denied by
prominent members of the congregation.
Should any feeling against Mr.. Wilson ex-
list, it is claimed to represent less than a
tenth of the congregation who. as a whole,
are convinced that any change would i'm
peril the standing Of the church and its
influence.

BATTLESHIPS
FOR GUNBOATS
(Scripps News Association


WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. %
Naval officers are looking forward
with keen interest to the recon-
mendations upon which Secretary
Bonaparte is at work respecting
the increase in the navy. He is
known to favor battleships and tor
pedo boats, and it is expected he
will be influenced by the naval sem
timent, which seems now to be
against any other type of ships, es-
pecially the old time commerce de-
stroyers and gun boats.
In nearly every case where it has
been a question of the repair of a
ship of war of the intermediate
type, the department has deter
mined there shall be only such
work done as will prevent the ship
from deteriorating, and no provi-
sion is made for restoring the ship
for active duty. With this state of
affairs before the secretary, he is
likely to accept the view that the
service shall be maintained by hay
ing battleships and torpedo boats
provided for in the next naval bill.
