tiCn as to the need for such legislation.

erS.

commended that the Commissioners Sug-
geSt certain names to the committee.

OPENED BY BISHOP HARDING
SERVICES HELD IN THE NEW
CHAPEL OF THE NATIVITY.
Prayer as the Guide Of Life Dis
cussed-Work of the Mission in
outheastern Section.

The recently completed Chapel of the
Nativity. at 14th and Massachusetts ave-
nue. southeast. was formally opened by
the Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding. Bishop of
Washington, last evening. The church
was crowded.
The bishop talked upon prayer and the
mission Of the church. and introduced his
theme by telling of the scourging of the
money changers from the temple.
Christ was stirred TO Indignation when
he saw Them" said the bishop. The
speaker then declared that it was because
the money changers thought of nothing
but their greed, trained their fingers to
do nothing bu; grasp and were completely
absorbed in a sordid cause which is d
mos: tragic sight in the eyes of God.
Prayer the Guide of Life.
Tie road to salvation is prayer con-
tnued the bishop. 1.-THE day As frausht
with the divinely human element OF mys-
terry: it is full OF accident and the un-
known. and he who fathoms its depths
of joys and sorrows without a chart and
without a guide is supremacy reckless.
The guide is prayer. 1t should both open
and conclude the day. 1t is one OF the
highest of earthly duties.
This house of prayer shows the archi-
tectural adjustment of our spiritual per-
spcctive. In the center, claiming all eyes,
is the altar, the table of God. the FOCUS
of Worship aud OF the Eucharist. To his
Ieft is the pulpit the radiatng point Of
chee. and assurance tn sustain one In the
secular anxietes OF the six days. Beyond
is Che congregation, the pew. as SYM
Dol OF good fellowship and OF hrotherly
love.
Sustaining Power Of Prayer.
No tribute could l pay unto the late
Bishop Satteree more fitting than TO
say he was man OF prayer Prayer
more than sustained him: it made him
one of the sentlest and nOblest men
have ever known. 1t was the great I'M
petus in his all too brief episcopacy.
1t was prayer which led him to establish
the work for the building of great
national cathedral at ST. Adams and in
all the many activities of his bishoprlc.
