The last two are on the name Of the
church. one speaker advocating q change
| and giving reasons therefore. and the
other opposing and also giving reasons
for the same.

great truth that only upon the principles

any real and abiding democracy.

The vestry has negotiated for the pur-
northeast corner of Spencer and Wine
| Avenue. owned by Louis L. Dent.
The idea is to use the present dwelling
as rectory. and erect q $4,000 church

| and Sunday school facing Spencer Street.
Architects are now preparing designs
for the new building. and II the Dent
property is purchased 1t is probable that

hopes to secure the pledge Of 100 COM
municants to subscribe $1,000 each pay

fund to begin operations.
Rev. E. Edmond seyzinger, of the
Community of the Resurrection, Mir
field. England. began his lectures on
February II. dealing with the "Con-
tinuity, Dostrine. and Present day
| first lecture was on THE Claims of the
Anglican Church." 1t was very good,
and the large body Of representative
church people present keenly enjoyed
II. 1t was, however, open to one crit
icism-the lecturer took precisely thir-
ty minutes to get to his lecture.
very marked improvement to st.
Paurs Church and parish house. TWEEN
ty-third Street. both architecturally
and from the standpoint Of comfort
and convenience. is projected at an
early date. II Is intended by the rec
tor. Rev. Canon Talbot, to Join the two
buildings. which are now separated
by several feet distance, so that free
movement can be had from one build
ing to the other without going out
side. This will be Of much advantage
to the choir of the church and quite a
convenience in various ways to the
rector personally and his people
Bishop Partridge, formerly Of Japan
now Bishop of Kansas City, preached
at St. Paurs last Sunday morning. His
sermon Is spoken OF by those who
heard 1t as very remarkable. and II
produced great impression. The rec
tor of ST. Paurs Church was kept quite
busy responding to phone calls. in
quiring where the Bishop was going
to preach that morning. And yet some
good and well-meaning people think
the day of sermons Is done. Never,
1t is quite a feature Of Lenten work
In the city for the churches to have a
Lenten list Of preachers. Almost every
church has one. but 1t is not 80 common
in the country districts by reason of the
difficulties connected with travelling. par
ticularly from the standpoint Of time
when clergy are unusually busy. But the
rector of Trinity Church, Upper Marlboro.
has accomplished the feat OF having a
very excellent list Of preachers for the
Thursday nights during Lent. The COM
plete list is as follows:
February 1S-Rev. F. B. Howden. ST.
Johns, Georgetown. d. C..
February 20-Rev. James Kirkpatrick.

Sunday, February %. will be noted
as National Cathedral Mite Sunday, as
1t is proposed on that day to receive
offerings for the Cathedral at WASH
ington from congregations through
the general church wherever rectors
have. received envelopes for the pur-
pose. The Bishop of Washington has
sent numerous letters to the rectors
Of the various parishes, in which he
called attention to the fact that the
Cathedral at Washington Is Of national
character. and. therefore. deserves the
support of the churchmen all over the
country. This day will, therefore, be
observed in quite a number Of the
churches. and 1t is hoped that the ef-
fort will gradually become universal.
and the Cathedral shall be built by the
offerings Of church people throughout
the land, and thus emphasize the ma
tional character Of the Cathedral as a
house Of prayer for all people"
Envelopes for distribution in the
churches where the rectors are willing
to receive this offering may be obtained
from Mrs. John MCGOWAN, 1920 Six
teenth Street Northwest. Washington.
