q 4. JOHNS CHURCH in George
81 town. one of the oldest churches
~ in Washington. with a history
dating back to the early days of the re-
public. has just completed the installa-
ton of a splendid pipe organ. While this
organ was built more than quarter of
u century ago. it is still the equal of the
most modern instruments in the city.
With the purchase of this organ comes
more history to this old house of wor-
ship.
The organ was purchased from St.
Johns Church at 18th and ii streets,
where it was installed in 1883 under the
rectorship OF the Rev. William y. Leon
ard. who afterward became Bishop of
Ohio. During the twenty-seven years it
furnished music for divine services many
men celebrated in public life. both at
home and abroad attended services regu-
larly at st. Johns. At the time of it's
installation President Chester A. Arthur
was a regular attendant at the morning
services and when he first heard the new
organ congratulated DR.. Leonard and
the congregation upon the possession OF
so fine an instrument. Mrs. Arthur was
also member of St. Johns and always
took deep interest in the church, and In
later years a memorial window was dedi-
Gated to her.
The price paid for the organ by the
Georgetown congregation was $1,000, and
an add tional $1,000 was expended to
make it over into a modern, up-to-date
organ 1T has cost US $4,000" said Prof
G. Thompson Will ans, the organiet, re-
cently,-''but I believe We have an organ
that cannot be duplicated for less than
$500" Prof. Williams supervised its
reconstruction and declares that he left
nothing undone that would have added to
the value of the organ. 1t is an Odell in
strument and the tones are peculiarly soft
and sweet. 1t is operated by electricity.
wanted it to be- said Rev. Frederick B.
Howden, pastor of st. Johns, land in
deed could not have been better salts
fled had l gone to the factory and select
ed an instrument"
Gov. Henry u. Cooke, a faithful and
beneficent friend of the old church. do
mated to the Georgetown parish the old
organ. It was installed in 1871, just after
the appointment. of Mr.. Cooke as Gov
ernor of the District. He was the first
governor appointed under the act of Feb
ruary 81. 1874. and throughout his life
remained regular wOrshiper and friend
of the church.
ST. Peters Catholic Church. in the
now forty years old, for 500, but an
equal amount Will have to be expended
to put the organ I'm first-class shape.
ST. Johns. Lafayette Square, will have
a new organ. but 1t will not be ready for
service for three or four weeks yet. Prof.
Freeman the organist, expected to have
it ready by the middle of September. but
it has been delayed because of many al
terations made in the original plans.
