 The Outlook club of the Grand Ave- nue Baptist church met in the chapel last evening for celebration of the Washington anniversary. There was a good attendance and number of vis- I,itors. The president, Rev. Charles G. Smith, presided. The exercises bore on Washington, and included an interest ing address by Rev Dr. Sheath. pr. sheath said in part"
 George Washington was raised up by God for a great occasion as truly as Abraham or David, or the Apostle Paul. He was the founder of the great American republic, and the greatest nation on the face of the earth. He is the immortal Washington, and cer- tainly is first in the hearts of his countrymen.' What are the elements which entered into the man. the tower of strength which stood four square to all the winds which blew? He was a man of good habits, which made for strong physical manhood, and the lead CT of great worth. He was a man of promptness, politeness, economy, sys- tematic habits, and never afaid of manual labor
 'The sterling moral virtues of hon esty, clear speech, temperance, and pa- | triotism, also entered into the category of clements which made this character at his country's call, and no offer of kings throne could swerve his gen. timely patriotic heart.
 Washington was a religious man, a member of the church, believer in prayer, and one who sought to sacred ly keep the Sabbath day. Ills religion manifested itself as well in his rela- | tions to man as to God, and he knew the genuine value of the words, be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good Washington was man of remarkable qualifications for the great role he was to perform. Un swerving courage was characteristic through his whole career. His patience and self control, and thorough relia- | bility are self evident throughout his whole career He was a born leader and his generalship was seen in connec- tion with his military and political career In the face of prosecutions cabals, difficult situations and perils innumerable, he went forward to a glo- rious victory and to unparalleled sue cess. We glory in the acts of Presi- dent Roosevelt in forest, battle muni- cipality, commonwealth and nation, but all the conditions considered his acts Iare boys skirmishes compared with those of Washington's career
 q shall not speak amis when I re- fer to the presence of God with this great leader It is said that he bore a charmed life Yes, charmed by the presence of Him who guides the des- tines of nations and who sustains his servants in bringing the kingdom of God"
 Tiffanys men have placed in the Grand Avenue Congregational church beautiful stained glass window. It is given in memory of Rev. Dr. Burdett
 Hart and his wife by their children, Mrs. Samuel Hemingway of this city and Mrs. A. R. Perkins of Philadelphia. The design Is taken from J. M. M. Hof-
 mans Come Unto Me" and is cer- tainly very appropriate. The coloring is rich and chaste, and with the light of the morning sun upon it, the picture shows forth in most beautiful and win ming manner. Tiffany's skilled artists have wrought fine piece of workman ship. The window will be unveiled i'm mediately without special ceremony;
 although Dr. Sheath, the pastor, will later make it the basis if Sunday
 mornings discourse. This act on the part of Dr. Halls daughters is great ly appreciated by the members of the
 church.
