PASTOR TAKES AUDIENCE
ON TRIP TO HOLY LAND
Lecture by Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson
Is Illustrated With Stere-
opticon Slides.

Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. pastor of the
Bethany Baptist Church, Rhode Island
avenue and I'd street northwest, took
more than 800 members of the parish
and their friends on stereopticon tour
of the Holy Land last night, reminfs-
cent of his recent pilgrimage.
Illustrating his talk with more than
200 lantern slides of scenes intimately
associated with the life of Christ on
earth, Pastor Stevenson gave them
both sides of the contention regarding
exactly which spots were the scenes Of
Christ's birth, His Calvary, His tomb.
His Garden of Olives, etc, and tell
ing them his reasons for believing in a
particular one.
Mr.. Stevenson's talk was marked not
only by summary of biblical lore and
present-day pictures but by telling his
own feelings as he stood in these sa-
cred spots.
The lecture deplored the fact that
these sacred spots are in the custody Of
Turkish soldiers; that even within the
Temple of the Holy Sepulcher there is
strife for honors of possession.
His general impression of the cities
and towns of the east was of filth.
stencil, squalor. disease. and that the
inhabitants live as beasts and with
beasts. He spoke touchingly of what
he believes is the real Garden of Olives
and its custodian, a Franciscan monk,
whom he referred to as a saint and for
the sake of revisiting whom he said he
would like to renew his trip.
During his trip Mr.. Stevenson had the
same guide who conducted Secretary
Bryan through the pilgrimage some
years ago. He showed pictures of the
party of Washington clergymen in the
holy places. including one where they
are seated on the steps up which
Christ himself climbed as a boy going
to the house of John

ALLOTMENT OF $4,000
FOR WORK ON POTOMAC
Money to Be Expended on Main
tenance of Improvements at
Washington.
Provision for Operation of Gates at
Inlet, Seawal1 Repairs and for
Redredging Channel.

Approval has been given by Gen.
Kingman. chief of engineers, OF tne
project submitted by Col. Newcomer,
the engineer officer in charge. for the
expenditure during the current hscai
year of the allotment by the Secretary
of War out of the lump appropriation
OF S2O00O,O 900 for river and harbor I'M
provements. of $4,000 for the improve
ment of the Potomac river at Wash
ington.
The original project for this improve
ment, made in the year 1882, had Tor It's
object the widening and deepening OF
the Virginia and Washington channels
of the Potomac, the reclamation OF the
flats by depositihg on them the ma
terial dredged from the channels. the
periodic flushing or the Washington
channel and the establishment OF har-
Dor lines That project was modified
in 1888 and 1897 to meet changed con-
ditions in the territory affected II
now provides for channel depth SUM-
cient to accommodate vessels OF the
largest draft that can be brought UP
the Potomac to Washington.
Provision for Channel Deuth.
At the time of the adoption of the
project that depth was twenty feet,
but has since been increased to twenty
four feet.
The reverse project provides that the
" ashington channel shall be OF full
depth for width Of 400 feet, beyond
that gradually decreasing to depth
of five feet at the margin OF the re-
claimed area; that the Virginia chan
mel be dredged so as to afford low
water sectional area of $4,000 square
feet; that the reclaimed flats be raised
to an elevation of three feet above the
height of the freshet of 1877, for the
flushing of the Washington channel
from the tidal reservoir, controlled by
automatic inlet and outlet gates, ana
for a training dyke along the Virginia
channel above the Highway bridge.
The estimated cost of the project as
modified was $2,953,O20.
Maintenance Work Necessary.
Col. Newcomer says that all the work
covered by the project has been COM
pleted, but that maintenance work is
required constantly for operating and
caring for the machinery of the inlet
and outlet gates of the tidal reservoir,
for repairs to the seawall along the Po-
tomac Park and for redredging the
river channels. 1t is estimated that
the removal of the freshet deposits
from the Virginia channel alone costs
$4,000 year.
1t is proposed. he says. to expend the
current allotment OF $4,000 for the
maintenance of the inlet and outlet
gates of the tidal reservoir and other
parts of the system. 1t is his purpose
