AVIATION THE TEXT
FOR PULPIT SERMON
Associate Justice Hughes Attends
the Services at First Bap-
fist Church.

Charles E. Hughes. associate justice of
recently the Governor Of New York, was
one of the congregation yesterday at the
First Baptist Church to hear the sermon
preached by the pastor. Rev. w. w. Nc
Masters, inspired by the recent airship
flight of Claude Graha me- White across
the city. The title of the sermon was
The Acme Of Locomotion." 1t described
the gradual advance and the fuller reali-
cation OF the deeper meaning of Christian
principles in the mind of man. The
highest development in such thoughts,
the pastor said. brought the only true
earthly happiness.
I'm physical locomotion there is walk
ing, flying, running said Mr.. McMas-
tiers, but in spiritual locomotion there
is no flying. 1t is walking the gradual
progress for the preparation of the life
everlasting.
Peaceful and continuous application to
business and duty is the secret of sue
cess, The secret of salvation is a peace
ful and righteous application of the faith
IN God and slow and steady march in
the right path.
They that wait upon the Lord shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they
snail run and not be weary; they shall
walk and not faint"
The pastor remarked during the prog
ress of his sermon that his inspiration
came at the call Of his young son, who
ran into his fathers study Friday last
to see the aviator in his rapid air flight
across the city from the War Department
to Benning.

in Proposed Institution.

Prominent Catholics Of Washington are
interested in the inauguration Of a day

working hours.
The work here will be under the direc-
ton of the Christ Child Society, and
suitable house in a convenient section Of
the city will be leased. Playrooms suit
able for children of all ages will be pro-
vided, and it Is probable that the Sisters
of Charity will be placed in charge of
the work.
Children may be left by their mothers
from o'clock in the morning until bed
time. and the parent can rest assured
during the interval that the little ones
are being kept free from the contami-
mating influences of the street.
Mgr. James F. Mackin, pastor of st.
Paul's Church; Rev. DIR. Russell, rector
of st. Patrick's. and other prominent
