An Hour at Mt. St.

II the city Of Washington should ever
be in danger from an armed foe. and
land fortihcations should be deemed
necessary for its protection 1t is prob
able Mt. St Adams. or its vicinity
would be one of the links In the chain.
owing to its strategic position
Being at one of the highest points
adjacent to the city It would have q
sweeping control for several miles In
every direction, permitting whitening
fire upon ever possible avenue Of ap-
proach either by land or by water.
But how different this would be from
the great work that has been started
at this point and which will continue
until one of the greatest fortresses
this country has ever known will rise
from the foundation that Is even now
begun.
While the former would have had war
and b,oodshed as the object OF its
foundation the latter has as its corner

At the National New Thought Center
In the washington Loan and Trust
building. the subject of the Wednesday
evening meeting was, He Sent His
word and Healed Them" What is this
healing word? In. the beginning was
the Word And the Word was God, ;"
says the beloved apostle, he who had
the clearest vision. Some say this
should be translated Thought" and ii
IL this conscious receiving of the thought
Of God and the realization of the one
ness Of our spirits with the. Divine
Spirit that "healeth all our infirmities-" :"
This is eternal life. to know Thee the
only true God. and Jesus Christ whom
Thou hast sent" Too long have these
words been taken figuratively-Christ
lived them literally, and tells us that
He is the way in which we are to fol-
low to attain the perfection of the
Father. This idea of oneness with the
Intimate Sirit-'nearer he is than BREATH
ing: closer than hands and feet" is
the thought that brings healing, poise,
and power. To attain this consciousness
is the most vital thing in Hfe-it is life
itself.
The subject for next weeks meeting
will be, How to Distinguish Between
Gods Laws and Mans Laws"

"the man with a heart message for

o'clock.
He will take as his subject "A Judg-

will form the basis for one Of the most
interesting of the evangelistic talks thus
far given of the members of the con-
greEation and their friends during the
time since the organization OF the con-
gregatior some months ago.

Endeavorers pledge were modelled upon
Pauls assertion Of twenty centuries
ago. But the Endeavor pledge has a
little addition to the promise that is
whatever He would like to have me
do" The promise Is not to devote
ones self to a vain pursuit Of power,
wealth, or social prestige. or any of
the modern will-O'-the-wisps or pres
ent-day phantoms. but to spend ones
earnest moments In an honest endeayor
10 please the Master.
Other important things that the Chris
tian can do are ito pray and read the
Bible every day." And we know of no
methods other than these of daily Bible
reading and prayer whereby one may
Lord and Master. Daily communion
with God brings the Christian into init
mate fellowship with the Father, gives
him views of earth and Of heaven,
makes him alive to the needs of his
fellow-men. and ties him up with bonds
And then the pledge tells some more
Of the things" that We fancy Paul to-
day would say he could do through
Him that strengtheneth;" namely. TO
support my own church in every way,
especially by attending all her reguiai
Sunday and mid-week services. unless
prevented by some reason which I can
conscientiously give to my Saviour, and
that just so far as know how. through
out my whole life, will endeavor to lead
Christian life" and ito be true to all
my duties" and the other intimate por-
tons Of the pledge which relate to the
Christian Endeavorer's duties to his
own prayer meeting service.
But II is not in his own strength that
the endeavorer promises to do these
things, for in the words Of the very
first clause Of the Christian Endeavor
pledge he promises, Trusting In the
Lord Jesus Christ for strength" All.
after all. that Is the important part of
the pledge. 1t Is only by trusting for
strength in the Master that the Chris
tian can achieve the things that he
promises ito strive to do" And so 1t
was with Paul It was only Through
Him that strengtheneth' that he was
able ito do all things"
And then, in these hurried, busy days
of ours. as we read the old message of
the Apostle Paul, and hear his words
ring out across the space Of twenty
centuries. let us repeat with this great
leader Of the apostles. with our eyes on
the Master. II can do all things" and
then, as did Paul. let us whisper this
prayer thought. Through Him that
