COVETOUSNESS A CURSE
BISHOP WARNS THE REPUBLIC
AGAINST GREED FOR WEALTH.

The curse that has come to every re-
public is that covetousness that struggles
over the distribution of wealth. So spoke
Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, bishop OF
Tennessee, last night before the thank
Offering mass meeting Of the Diocese of
Washington In Epiphany Church. This
curse has caused the destruction of every
republic to the present time" he continued
I'VE are young yet, but one republic lived
the republic of the middle ages In this
day and generation avarice touches even
the jury and makes it forget its oath. The
criminal Is acquitted-and then we have a
lynching. Avarice destroys individual re-
sponsibility, the backbone of patriotism"
The bishop declared that the trusts, the
mergers, the corporate wealth and the
chase Of personal riches by individuals are
sapping the life of the republic. Personal
responsibility is the hope of the nation and
the hope Of the church" he said.
The meeting last evening was the second
missionary thank offering of the Episcopal
Church to be held in this city. Other meet
ings of a similar character are being held
throughout the country in celebration of the
3OOth anniversary Of the beginning of Chris
tfanity in America growing out of the
settlement Of jamestown. The Offering Of
the whole country will be put at the dis
posal of the board of missions on occasion
this year.
The Right Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop
of the Diocese Of Washington, presided at
the meeting last night. Right Rev. L. w.
Burton, bishop of Lexington, also made an
address.

BUSINESS OF EMBALMINa.
Bill Goes to Congress for It's Regula
ton in District.

C1Ou IN D1SCC1CC.
With a view of acquiring legislation
which will give them more specific control
over the business Of embalming in the Dis
trict, the Commissioners have transmitted
to Chairman Babcock Of the District COM
mittee Of the House the draft of a bill to
regulate the business and "for other pur-
poses" and recommended its enactment
during the present session, as they consider
the matter an urgent one. The Commits
sioners contend that the work of an EN-
balmer is of a character that cannot be
supervised by the citizen who calls the
service of such embalmer into reQuisition,
and yet 1t Is a work that not only from a
sentimental, but also from a sanitary,
standpoint, every citizen is interested in
having well done. They hope by this legis-
lation to bring it up to a standard and keep
it there.
The bill was prepared after a conference
with the health officer and the corporation
counsel and the members of the Funeral
Directors Association, and If enacted will
subserve the interests of the public, the
Commissioners say, by preventing incompe-
tent persons from acting as embalmers and
from assuming charge Of bodies dead from
communicable diseases. The most impor-
tant provision of the proposed bill Is that
there shall be an embalmers' examining
board consisting of licensed embalmers to
pass upon all applications for licenses to
work In the District as embalmers. All ex-
penses Of this board shall be paid from the
funds collected, such as fees from appli-
cants. An applicant must be twenty-one
years old, of good moral character, free
from habits liable to interfere with the
performance of the duties he desires to
assume and he shall have had at least two
years practice as an embalmer previous to
his application.
