PRESBYTERIAN NEWS.

Presbyterians to the number of 80 at
tended the annual dinner of the Presby-
terian Alliance at the Eastern Church
last Tuesday evening. While the news
story naturally gave precedence to Jus
tice Harlan's arraignment of the "Snobs
from New York with fat bank accounts
who are demoralizing our local society,""
there were several other matters of in
terest to Presbyterians that transpired
not the least interesting of which was
President Leetch's historical sketch of
the alliance and statement of the work
which has been accomplished by It In
summary, the alliance was organized
twenty-four years ago and since that
time has been instrumental in raising
about 1880 toward the establishment
of three churches: The Eastern Church,
which was organized in 1891 and which
the alliance aided in the purchase of
lots; the lexington church, which is now
a flourishing organization, standing on its
own feet, and the Chevy Chase church,
which is only two years old, and which is
making very gratifying progress in that
field. Applications for further aid are
pending from the Chevy Chase church
and the Sherwood church. The alliance
is contemplating a programme of active
aid for the cause of Presbyterianism, es-
pecially in the matter Of planting new
churches within the District OF Columbia
and assisting them to become self-sus-
tanning. The first president of the Pres
byterian Alliance was the late Mr.. JUS
tice Stanley Matthews.
