All citizens OF Brookland have Joined

some soft words, and we left feeling

TO find out to our sorrow that our visits
had no effect. We kept digging, how.

Urged to Action.
Prof. S. NJ. Ely, of the Brooklant

MORGAN'S PASTOR
MAY ACCEPT CALL
FROM BALTIMORE
New York Rector Considers
Offer of Influential En-
manuel Church.

The Rev. DR.. Hugh Blrckhead, rector
OF St. Georges Parish, in New York,
the vestry of which is headed by J.
Pierpont Morgan, and which Is regarded
as one Of the richest and most infiuen-
tal Episcopal churches In America, is
expected to accept a call to Emmanuel
Church in Baltimore, extended to him
some time ago.
The Rev. DIR. Birckhead, who went to
Baltimore from New York yesterday,
came to Washington last night and re-
mained until this morning as the guest
OF Attorney General wickersham at the
Wickersham home in Sixteenth street
northwest. He returned to New York,
however, without making any announce
ment of his plans, and without saying
whether or not he would resign as rec
tor OF st. Georges to accept another
call.
Although still young man, DR.. Brick
head has the option of three calls at
the present time, invitations having
been extended 10 him by the leading
Episcopal churches OF Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh, as well as Emmanuel Church
at Baltimore.
1n New York it is said that the
wealthy vestrymen of st. Georges par
lsh Will not be surprised to receive DR..
Birckhead's resignation, since II has
been expected for some time. He be-
lieves he would be more useful in an
other field, and feels that the duties
more than he cares to shoulder.
When DR.. Birckhead reaches New
York this evening he Is expected to
announce his plans for the future.
