fist Church observed the twenty-fifth an
niversary of its organization yesterday in
the church, corner Of Jefferson and Fill

of Mr.: Fountain. Deacon Van Ness sue
ceeded in July, 1883. in opening in the old
Masonic Hall in Anacostia the school that
was the forerunner of the present Bap-
fist Church. The need Of Sunday school
was urged on the ground that there were
Baptists residing in the vicinity who were
the city, owing to the distance. A can
vass of the community was made and it
was found that there were sufficient
numbers of people OF that denomination
in the locality who were in sympathy
with the movement and who promised to
support the project.
The speakers yesterday referred to the
dark days through which the school had
passed and of the successive impetus it
had received from each Of those who, in
turn have acted as its superintendent

MARRIAGE BY REGULATION.
Rev. Fed II. Copp Says Government
Will Manage Matrimony.

In sermon on marriage last night at
Bethany Presbyterian Chapel Rev Zed
H. Copp said:
"In the near future the state, in self
defense, will regulate marriage. 1t will
confine 1t to those answering government
al requirements one of which will be
graduation from courses in domestic re-
lations. the primary branches Of which
will be taught in the public schools.
"Other requirements" he said, will
prohibit the morally, mentally and phys
icaily unfit from marrying. The state
will supervise all homes and punish the
parents who's, children under twelve year
OF age commit any offenSe.
Marriage is the first institution of
social order in every country, in every
age from its founding in Eden to the
present day. That 1t is a psychological
necessity is witnessed by millions of hap
contradistinction to the multitude of pro-
verbally snappish old maids and selfish
bachelors. It's sanctity is the safety of
the republic
The speaker described the union of
Adam and Eve. and said it was ideal for
three reasons: They were prepared man
and woman, they were divinely united,
they unitedly withstood adversely.
Discussing motives in marriage. which,
he said. are love. money social distinc-
ton and mere convenience, he scored
the American girl who marries for title,
comparing such marriages to the slave
market. He said the person who marries
for money is a prisoner for debt, and
that a marriage for convenience is usu-
ally one in haste, with divorce at leisure.
All such marriages he characterized as
1.-The unholy bonds of matrimony."
In conclusion he said that IL Adam and
Eve had not been ideally united they
would have drifted into the divorce mill
when adversely came. for from being the
proprietor of palatial residence-the
lord Of creation-he was reduced to a day
laborer without a change of clothes. He
said God prepared Adam and Eve, SO
every man and woman contemplating
matrimony needs preparation Of heart.
