SATURDAY EVENING. APR. %, 1908.

Rev. DIR. WILLIAM M. DANE
preached his thirtietb Easter sermon
las, Sunday at Memorial Protestant
Episcopal Church, Baltimore. Dr..
Dame, who had been rector OF Christ
Church in this city, succeeded Rev.
Rev. George W. Peterkins as rec
Tor of Memorial Church when the
latter was made Bishop fWest Virgins.
In the past 80 years the membership OF
thu church has increased from 200 TO
900 and the seating capacity OF the
edifce recently had to be enlarged.
During the time Mr.. Dame was in
charge of Christ Church in Alexandria
hi, services we're not only appreciated
by his own flock, but by members OF all
denominations. He ever manifested
earnestness in his pastoral work and
was ready at all times to vie with others
in Christian activities. 10 those days
there was a Christian Association in
Alexandra. This organization was
coppored Of members of nearly all the
churches of the city. Committees on
Sundays visited the Poor House snd
iai aud held outdoor services. DR..
Dame at times delivered open-sir dis
courses on street corners. The fact that
the memberships OF his Baltimore church
ha, increased from 200 to 900 shows
that his exertioDs in Baltimore are as
earnest as those he manifested while in
our midst.
