CORONATION is CALLED
CONSIDERATION TO SERVICE
Rev. DR.. C. Ernest Smith Draws Les
son From Recent Event
in England.

Declaring that the coronation of King
George V was more like a conservation
to holy Office than an investment OF
temporal power. Rev. Dr. C. Ernest
Smith, in his sermon at ST. Thomas
Church yesterday morning. drew a num-
Der of lessons from the great celebration
In England DR.. Smith pointed out that
the coronation was not for the purpose Of
making George king. for he had been
king for many months. but that 1t was
the conservation of the king to the serv-
ice Of the people. Speaking Of the great
contrast between the splendor inside
Westminster Abbey at the time OF the
who gathered outside the famous abbey.
Dr. Smith said: q
ION the one hand, splendor and glory
indescribable In its magnihcence, and,
on the other hand. misery and ignorance
and want, and manhood and womanhood
lost to all sense OF right and wrong. ana
children mature only in sin and shame!
erty so crushing. so absolute! This pow
erty should not be charged to the Church
of England, or even to the government OF
England. 1t is impossible to have an
equal division Of this worlds goods.
VERY likely the Lord intended that
some should be poor and some should be
rich. More noble natures have been de-
veloped because of the lack of wealth.
and even because OF poverty. than
through riches.
an the coronation service 1t was no.
ticeable that the clergy OF the Church of
England outranked all the nobility OF
England. This is not SO strange az It
might seem to some. The Church Of
England (of which the Protestant Epis-
opal Church In the United States Is a
branchI was not established by the Eng
lish nation On tho contrary. the English
nation was established by the Church OF
England way back In the early centuries

state began. and led the nation to peace
and harmony and unity
THE church of God is not getting the
credit II is entitled to in any country,
not even in the United States. One
often hears thoughtless statements
against the churches. The other day
some one said to the police commissioner
of New York city that the churches were
wasting money and effort and time ana
men, The commissioner promptly an
swered L can assure you that II you
abolished the churches in this country
you could not build jails and peniten-
tiaries fast enough to hold the people
I'VE American people should remember
that the President of the United states
is also in power, not so much by the
votes of his fellow-men as by the Provi-
dence of God II we could realize that
our conception of political FIFE would be
much higher. bishop once said that
our politics meant everything that begins
with p except patriotism-person ana
pay, position and possession, promotion
and power and profit!
THE church and the state are both In
stitutions of God. Let him who takes
ONCE from the President of the United
States down to the humblest citizen, feel
that he is God-appointed and that he
must leave somebody or some things bet
ter than he found them"
DR.. Smith took occasion to speak In
high praise OF the character OF the late
Mai James ]. Gordon. who died recently
and who had been q regular attendant at
St. Thomas Church for long time.

TOUR OF INSPECTION
Senate Subcommittee Solving
District Problems.
STREET EXTENSION ANS
Going Over Ground Because of Va
rance Of Views Between Citi-
Gems and Commissioners.
STREET EXTENSION -PLANS

Senator Curtis will head a subcom-
mittee Of the Senate District commit
tee that is going on some inspection
trips around the District to determine
the merits of street extension plans
recommended by the Commissioners.
Differences of opinion over. some
measures that are pending before the
committee between the heads of the
District government and citizens resid-
Ing in the vicinity affected by the pro-
posed street changes have moved the
senator's to make some personal inves-
LEGATIONS. and they believe a visit to
the locations will enable them to de-
termine what is best.
One of the measures that has stirred
up differences is that for the extension
Of New Hampshire avenue. The whole
question hinges on whether the extern
sion should be straight or a DETECTED
one. The Commissioners have con-
sistently recommended the DETECTED ex-
tension, the course of the street being
so altered that an existing road would
become a part of the extended avenue.
Congress has acted twice, and both
times a straight extension was ordered,
but neither of the laws was carried
out, because of technical faults.
Two Bills introduced.
The Commissioners came back, at the
beginning Of the present session with an
other recommendation for DETECTED ex-
tension, but when Senator Gallinger,
chairman of the Senate District commit
tee. introduced the bill drafted by the
Commissioners and providing for a de-
Elected extension, he also introduced a
bill for straight extension.
To settle the question the subcommittee
on streets and avenues proposes to take a
trip over the section through which the
two proposed extensions would run.
The northeast section of the city will
also be visited. There is pending before
the committee a bill directing that a por-
ton of the land formerly used as a right
of way of the Washington branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad shall be re-
served and improved as West Virginia
avenue. The Commissioners propose to
maintain property yard on a portion of
the old railroad right of way, and the
residents Of the northe asst section, headed
by the Northeast Citizens Association,
are objecting to the yard.
Appeals of the citizens to the Commits
sioners were in vain. and now they hope
to get aid from Congress. The Commits
sioners maintain that the yard. is not a
detraction to the section and that it Is
necessary.

sEes DOCTOR TO LET HIM DIE

Clarence vosheIl, Believed to Be of
MiIIingtOn. attempts to Take His Life
With the crack of the door stopped
up with blanket and the gas turn
ed on full, a man who registered as
William L. Voshell at the Hotel Le-
land, Baltimore, MI, Sunday night
week ago, was found lying on the
floor, says the Kent News. When
the proprietor of the hotel, John
Warner made his rounds to call the
boarders to breakfast he noticed the
odor of gas coming from a room on
the third floor. He called an en-
ployee and together they forced
open the door. They found Voshell
lying in the middle of the floor un-
conscious. Warner summoned a
physician and restoratives were ad-
ministered. VosheIl was aroused,
begged the doctor to let him die and
then lapsed into unconsciousness.
He was sent to the Maryland Home
opathic Hospital for further treat
ment. On the way he awakened
again and said there was no use
trying to save his life, as he in
tended to commit suicide. In his
clothes was found a note asking to
have his body sent to Millington,
Ken: County. Other papers signed
with the name of Clarence Voshell
were found in his pockets, indicat-
ing that he is an employee of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company.

Mayor-elect BIankenburg ought to
change all the department heads,
and ought to make a clean sweep in
the City Hall. The people voted
for such a change. Personally,
there is no objection to Doctor Neff,
but the fact remains that in his

sertive. and has never opposed the
wishes of the organization leaders.
