Mr.. PAGE URGES BETTER
ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH
Believes That There Is Much Need
for Missionary Work in
the City.

Declaring that the church people Of the
city should do more to get the masses to
the churches, Thomas Nelson Page in All
address at the closing session Of the
diocesan missionary meeting in St.
Marks Church, Capitol HILL, last night
urged greater effort to get those on the
outside within the sound Of the gospel.
Mr.. Page was discussing 1.-The Work OF
the Church in the City, and declared
that society cannot afford to leave peo-
pie outside of the church.
Il believe in giving toward the mission
airy cause he said, land think that We
should continue to give and that our Civ
ing should know no bounds. Foreign mis-
sions are good things, but there is much
to do at home, and the city is the place
where real financial aid Is needed. Here
in the city, where there are SO many
churches. people in certain sections never
enter a mouse or worship"
He then declared that If certain sections
Of the city unable to support a
church, then it is the duty Of the more
fortunate sections to provide the edltices.
1.-The Work OF the Church in the .COun-
ties was the subject Blair Lee discussed,
and during his remarks sad that the
exodus from the rural districts since the
civil war had made it difficult to maintain
churches in these sections. Arthur 3.
Browne spoke OF the work of the church
in the suburbs. He pointed out that the
most difficult work in these sections is to
build churches fast enough to meet the
growing demand. He said that the city in
all sections is encroacnIng upon the sub
urb, and that the church people must
meet the situation confronting them in
each instance by building houses OF wor-
ship where needed.

COMET IS |N0FFENS|VE
PILL BOX WOULD HOLD POISON
SAYS FATHER HEDRICK.
Astronomer Is Sure It Is Not Off
Its Path, and Deplores
Alarmist Tales.

There is no more poison in the tail
Of the comet than could be packed in
an ordinary pill box.
1.-The average density of the head of
the comet is equal to only one-six-
thousandth part of the density Of the
atmosphere Of the earth
Although 1 have not been observing
the comet regularly. 1 do not believe
it is off it's orbit.
THE nearest Halleys comet will
come to the earth is 100000 miles
If it's tail is long enough the earth
will pass through it May Is. The only
effect which may be noticed may be a
few so-called shooting stars
In these terse statements Father
at Georgetown University, today offered
refutatiOn Of stories cabled from Paris
regarding declarations of French as
tronomers that the tail of the comet
again showed traces of cyanogen; that
HaIley's wanderer was Off it's path, and
that the atmosphere Of the earth might
be permeated by the gases arising from
tine comet.
DIR. Hedrick explained that cyanogen
is the base from which hydrocianic
acid and others of the deadliest known
ton Of cyanogen would be sufficient
to terminate the existence Of any men,
Der Of the animal kingdom. it is evident
that the wide publication Of any alarm
list story, such as that which found its
origin in Paris yesterday, Is likely to
spread CONSERVATION as comet day"
approaches.
