st. Johns church, where Mrs. Taft and her
daughter will worship, is built in the form of a
Latin cross with a portico supported by massive
columns. The exterior has a pebble finish and
portions of the church are well-nigh covered with
ivy. The original building was erected in 1916,
and there are few churches In this country that
convey such an impression of great age. This
church Is little more than a square from the
White House, and the presidents church is also
within easy walking distance.
The new vice-president and Mrs. Sherman are

Church of the Covenant during his term Of Office

Secretary Hay were pewholders. Miss Helen Hay

however, rendered distinctive in appearance by
reason OF the fact that it is draped from steps
to steeple In ivy which never loses it's luster.
The church, which is a large one with a commo-
d1ous gallery, can seat upward of 1000 persons.
This is a valuable asset for a presidential church.
when President Roosevelt came to Washington
the congregation of which he became a member,
and which had previously worshiped in a small
chapel, had to build a large edifce because of the
responsibilities entailed upon a presidential
church, and the new edifce, although it seats
close to 500 people. has seldom been large enough

presidents pastor is the Rev. Ulysses Grant
Baker Pierce. He is a native of Providence. r. l.,
and was born in the closing year of the civil war.
He was educated in New England and at Hillsdale
college, Michigan, and also pursued advanced
studies at Harvard. He has had pastorates in
Iowa, California and Ithaca, N. Y, and came to
his present charge in 1891, in which year also he
married Florence, the daughter Of Capt. Lors-

tnstinctively the interest manifested in the church

second only. to the interest in the personalities Of
the new leaders themselves.
There are a number of churches at the national
capital that have at one time or another enjoyed the
distinction of being the presidents Church. but
with the Inauguration of President Taft this honor
will descend to an edifce that has never heretofore
attained such prominence. All Souls Unitarian

placing the Dutch Reformed church which has
served in similar capacity during the Roosevelt re-
gime. While the present All Souls now takes rank
as a presidents church for the first time, the pred
,ecessor of the present edifce as the home of this
congregation had early title to the honor, for one
of the founders of this historic Washington church
was John Quincy Adams.
William H. Taft has been a pewholder at All
Souls'-the only Unitarian church at the capital
ever since taking up his residence at Washington. 1t
may be remembered that during the campaign it
was asserted that Mr.. Taft was an atheist, but the
charge was, of course, totally unfounded. The presi-
dent-elect is of a Unitarian family, his father and
mother both being Unitarians, his grandmother hav-
ing Joined the Unitarian movement with the famous
DIR. Charming. William II. Taft, like his father be-
fore him, was a member of the Unitarian church of
Cincinnati. After entering official life in Washing
ton he took a pew intthe church that Is henceforth
to be known as the Presidents Church"
However. as might be expected of a Unitarian,
Presidentelect Taft is broad-minded in his religious
views. The Taft family, like the Roosevelts, is d.
yided in religious views but Mr.. Taft is not 80 ag-
gressively loyal to his own denomination but what
he frequently goes with Mrs. Taft to the Episcopal
church, of which she, following in the footsteps Of
her family, is a member. When the Tafts spent the
summers at Murray Bay, Canada practice that
