Washington, July lin assisting to-
day to lay the corner stone OF church
which has as a part of Its equipment
q gymnasium, a swimming pool, bow
ling alleys ana club rooms, President
Taft took occasion to pay a tribute to
the civil employees of the government,
who being compelled to remain in
Washington while the President goes
to the seashore and Legislators seek
their vacations, carries on the work
OF the government
Some times working for a salary
much too low" said the President. "he
Is philosopher enough to know that
he can get more real happiness out Of
life in seeing his family grow and in
the education of his children, than by
aspiring to be millionaire or pluto
GRAFT"
The President also spoke of the wis
dom of providing rational amusement
as a part of church work, thus making
religion a welcome part Of life and
not something ito be improved only
once in seven days ana then to be
taken in as small doses as possible"
The church is to be known as the
Ingram Memorial Congregational, of
which DR.. J. w. Frizzel Is the pastor.
President Taft, who Is a Mason, and
who at a recent cornerstone laying
in this city worked for nearly fifteen
minutes in spreading mortar all over
the surface upon which the big granite
block was to rest. was somewhat dis
appointed today when he found that his
only function was to place in position
and seal into the stone metal box
containing photographs of himself. Of
the pastor. and various records and
trinkets.
II am an accomplished Mason" pro-
tested the President.
DR.. Frizzel laughingly replied that
the church did not want to take any
chances and had had the stone set be.
fore the President took charge.
II am glad to know. to see and to
believe" said the President, that all
churches in a way, not 30 completely
as this plan indicates. are adopting the
view that there is nothing inconsistent
between the religion and duty, and
happiness and rational amusement, and
that the union Of all of them Is not
something that Is rspeliant TO the real
religious soul"
