SERVICE TOMORROW
CHURCH OF THE PILGRIMS NOW
ORGANIZED.

The new Congregational church on Cap
dtol Hill, which was named the Church of
the Pilgrims at meeting held last Monday
evening, Is now fully organized and ready
for the selection of a committee to consider
plans for the erection Of a new building on
the corner of Sth street and Massachusetts
avenue northeast, where a good site has
been secured. Rev. d. w. Montgomery,
formerly pastor Of the Fifth Baptist Church,
has been chosen to fill the Office of pastor to
the new congregation in temporary ca
pacity. 1t is understood that Mr.. Mont
gomery will be the permanent pastor Of the
church in behalf of which he has worked
for some time, but this matter will be de-
cided by the congregation at a later date.
A meeting of the new congregation was
held Thursday evening at the Epworth M.
e. Church South 18th and streets north
east, and the following additional officers
were elected: Deacons, w. c. Woodruff, b.
B. Bassette, F. G. Gray, /. P. Tade; clerk,
B. p Entriken: treasurer. George P.
Tucker; Sunday school superintendent, w.
A. Simonds.
Services win he held for the first time by
the new congregation tomorrow evening in
conjunction with the services of the Kellar
Memorial Lutheran Church, corner 9th
street and Maryland avenue northeast,
when Mr.. Montgomery of the Church OF the
Pilgrims will preach,
Some work has already been done on
plans for the new building. 1t Is under
stood that when the proper time comes
enough money will be forthcoming to push
the erection of the church rapidly.

MEMS HATS IN CHURCH.
Their Care Troublesome Question
Awaiting Solution.

From the London HatterS' Gazette.
It Is a matter of historical record that
our forefathers In the seventeenth century
wore their headgear at divine service and
also at dinner, but 1t has remained for an
English newspaper to testify that In its
opinion gentlemen sometimes refrain from
going to church because of their hats.
A daily paper has recently suggested that
the very irregular attendance Of upper class
males at church may be due to the respect
with which they regard their headgear and
the inadequate accommodation provided in
sacred edifces for the safe bestowal of the
cherished topper"
They quote a PiccadilIy halter as saying:
1T receive more hats to block on Monday
morning than on any other day of the
week, and judging from the observations
hear, should say that the owners benefit
very little by going to church. II they
place their hats under the seats they are
kicked by the occupants of the pews be-
hind, ladies being almost as careless as
mischievous boys in this respect. Then If
they deposit the hats on the seats. some
one-probably the owner himself-is sure to
sit upon them. Why cant every West End
church have cloak room where gentlemen
can leave their hats? This suggestion has
often been made. A small sum could be
charged and devoted, let us say, to the
clothing Of the heather In West Africa"
A West End vicar who was asked II this
difficulty explained why men did not go 70
church gave an unsympathetic answer. Il
cannot conceive" he said, "even in these
artificial and fnnicking days. Of a man who

EPWORTH M. E. CHURCH
TO CELEBRATE TENTH ANNI-
vERsARY TOMORROW.
Will Also Honor the Memory of Rev.
j. Wesley Boteler, Church
Benefactor.

The congregation of the Epworth M. E.
northeast, will celebrate the tenth ami
versary of the dedication of the present
church building tomorrow. The exercises
will take the form of memorial service in
honor of the late Rev. J. Wesley Boteler,
who, more than any other one person, was
instrumental in making the Epworth
Church a possibility.
1856 From a mere handful of people the
membership has grown until it numbers
over four hundred. The pastors who have
served the congregation are: Rev. s. w.
Hadda way, Rev. J. C. Jones, Rev H. c.
Febrey Rev. J. o. Knott. Rev. w. s. Ham
mond and the present pastor, Rev. D. l..
Blakemore. The present church building
was erected during the pastorate of the
Rev. J. o. Knott.
Rev. j. Wesley Boteler, whose memory
the Epworth congregation delights to
honor, was a native of this city. and for
the greater part of his life was a promi
nent figure in business and religious circles.
In fact, with the exception of few years
spent as an itinerant preacher In the Balti
more conference and the Upper Iowa con-
ference, all OF his life was spent in the
city of his birth. For thirty years he was
secretary of the Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of this city, which position his
son. L. Pierce Boteler, now holds.
He joined Wesley NJ. e. Chapel. where
his father was class leader and promi-
nent member, at the age Of ten. Later in
life, his parents having moved to the east
ern section of Washington, he became iden-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-01-13

titled with Ebenezer now Trinity, M. e.
Church. 1t is likely that from this church
he was sent out an itinerant preacher.
But after few years of itinerant expert
epce in Virginia and Iowa his health failed
and he was forced to abandon the active
ministry. He returned to Washington and
entered business, and became a member Of
the Baltimore conference, M. E. Church
South, in a supernumerary relation. He
remained in this city until his death. For
twenty years he was one of the chief mem
bers of Mount Vernon Place M. p. Church
South and was one of the most prominent
personalities of Methodism in the District.
About the year 1889 Mr.. Boteler moved
his home to East Washington, and immedi-
ately joined Grace Mission, now Epworth
Church. He soon recognized the POSSIBLE
tiles for a strong church organization, and
set eagerly to work to develop them. He
early conceived the idea of a new church
building
81 want to see new church on that cor
ner before die came to be the recognized
expression of the final ambition Of his life.
His friends in the community, many not
members of any church, gladly gave him
material aid. He lived to see his ambition
realized, and took part in the dedicaAory
exercises January -, 1896. Three months
afterward he died, but today Epworth
Church stands monument to his indie
fatigable effort and unstinted lfberality.
Had he died before the dedication, in all
likelihood the church would have been
named "Boteler Memorial in his honor.
Program of Services.
Bishop A. w. Wilson, former pastor of
Mount Vernon Place Church in this city,
who dedicated Epworth Church, and who
was intimately associated with Mr.. Boteler
in life, will deliver the memorial sermon
tomorrow morning and will preach at night.
fine oil portrait of the subject of the
memorial service will be unveiled by two
of his grandchildren at the morning ser
vice, at which Mrs. D. Olin Leech of Wesley
Chapel Quartet, will sing an old favorite
hymn of Mr.. Boteler's. Mrs. F. A. Flower
of Mount Vernon Place Church choir will
render a solo at the night service
A memorial bulletin, containing the or
der of service, pictures of Mr.. Boteler and
the church, and other interesting matter,
has been prepared by the committee of
arrangements The congregation of Ep-
worth has invited all friends of the late
Mr.. Boteler to unite with it in this tribute
to his memory.

To Induce Restful Sleep.

From the Youths Companion.
In the ability to obtain restful sleep there
is much variableness In the same person
at different times and under different in
fuences. Profound sleep is generally more
refreshing than light sluniber, but the fact
that one can be reused without difficulty
does not always signify that his rest is
deficient. Quiet slumber is always more
restful than sleep that is broken by dreams.
even though the dreams be SO light as not
to be impressed upon the memory.
The character. of sleep is affected by
many Influences, both mental and physical.
The person who, upon retiring for the
night, fails to put away the cares of the
day that Is past or borrows the thoughts
of the morrow, Is slow to reach the depths
Of sleep and wakes but little refreshed.
An overf1lled stomach prevents sound
sleep, but hunger should be relieved before
retiring, and for this purpose there Is
nothing better than glass OF warm milk.
The bed should be smooth, but neither too
hard nor to soft: the position OF tho body
preferably lying on the right side. with the
head not too high. and the disposition of
the limbs such az not to impede the circu-
lation OF the blood. Il IL generally better
not to interfere with the fantastic attitudes
OF little children until they have sslept d
while; but the head must never be per-
fnifted to remain covered

Publicity in Divorce Cases.
From the Providence Journal

righteous decision has been reached by
the judges Of the Allegheny county court
in Pennsylvania They have ruled that
hereafter no divorces will be granted Sc
cretly. All papers must be filed openly and
all hearings must be public. They wish to
hear the evidence first-nand before Trey act
Such a position is plainly in the interest OF
social morality. There are divorce cases
where the presence of a miscellaneous
crowd OF spectators might probably be for
hidden; nor does the court propose, so far
as Is known. to advocate spreading scam
dalous testimony broadcast. But it Is wholly
just and fair that those who seek divorces
should bear the odium, II odium there is
1t is said that certain case In Allegheny
county of which much has been said viii
come under the operation of the new rule,
much to the disgust of the parties CEN
cerned But those who seek relief from
wedlock by the law cannot complain be-
cause they are not exempted from the dis
agreeable part Of legal processes. Ii they
wish their domestic affairs to remain pri-
vate they must adjust them privately. 1t
sometimes seems as IL the members OF the
smart set, do not object to any amount
Of publicity, however unpleasant. But there
must still be Offenders against decency who
are not lost to all sense OF shame.
