CHILDREN ON AN OUTING
AS THE GUESTS OF ELKS
Scene as They Start for Marshall
Hall Gives Promise of
Good Time.

Nine hundred children of the local or
phan asylums. and about 100 more gath
cred from Alexandria, spent today al
Marshall Hall as guests of Washington
Lodge, No. Is, B. P Q. Elks. Every
thing that the youngsters could desire

es and free rides on the merry go-round
at the grounds to whistles and horns to
be blown en- route. The children will re-
turn at 6:15 o'clock this evening.
The scene as the steamer Manchester
left the wharf this morning left little
doubt that the children would have q
good time Each child seemed to be on
his tiptoes with excitement. Almost
every one waved small American flag
furnished by the hosts. and from the
hundreds of horns and whistIes came
loud discordant sounds, yet bearing as
surance that il was to be a day OF days
for the boys and girls. A band fur
nished music.
Each asylum was assigned a separate
place on the boat and on the grounds
The special cars to bring the children
to the wharves arrived on schedule time
within a minute Of one another the ar
engagements were made by j. L. Monet
a member of the committee on trans
portation. Hugh F. Harvey was chair
man of the executive committee. Chair
men of other committees were: Enter
tainment Samuel Richards: excursion, j.
j. German: refreshments, +. III. Neu-
meyer, jr. physicians. DIR. w. F. Waiter,
and transportation. f. G. Mersheimer.
The boat will leave again this evening
at O'Clock for the resort, carrying the

RELIGION IN DAILY LIFE.
Just as Essential as Business, Art
and Pleasure, Says Rev. DR.. Pierce.

Choosing for his text the words of the
prophet Hosea, THE going forth of the
Lord is as sure as the morning. and He
shall come unto us as the rain" Rev. DR..
Ulysses G.. b. Pierce. minister of All
Souls Church. yesterday preached on the
naturalness Of religion. President Taft
and his brother, Horace Taft, We're among
the large congregation.
There is something beautiful" said
Dr. Pierce. Sin the way the prophet in
cIuaes religion among the natural forces
of life To him the religious life is as the
dawning of a new day, and like the fall
ing of rain upon the thirsty earth. And
what this prophet says the Bible repeats
again and again. For the Bible is largely
a book of outdoor life. There are ne
better descriptions of nature than those
found In the Psalms. They depict nature
as only the religious soul can do. The
Gospels also are outdoor books. They
are full of local color and atmosphere
The beatitudes are as refreshing as the
air of the mountain where they were
spoken The inimitable parallels of the
Master have all the freshness of the Cali
/ lean fields.
I'VE do well. therefore, to think of the
religious life as the life of man at his
best. Indeed. no man has come to his
full estate until the religious life is an
integral part of himself. When we learn
this, we are in a fair way to appreciate
the glory and the value of the Bible"
