BEAUTIFUL CEREMONIES
AT PEACE CROSS SUNDAY
Bishop Davies of Western Massa-
chusetts Addresses Woman's
Relief Corps. -,

Around the peace cross on Mount s.
Alban, in the shadow of the great oak
trees which mark the outlines of the
space where some day will arise the
spires of the Cathedral of St. Peter and
st. Paul, there gathered yesterday aft
ernoon n great concourSe of people to
take part in the memorial service for
the Grand Army of the Republic and
the Woman's Relief Corps. 1t was
service of many beautiful elements,
strengthened into historic character by
the masterful sermon preached by Ri.
Rev. Thomas F. Davies, Bishop of
western Massachusetts. 1t was made
even more beautiful than many other
outdoor services at Mount ST. Adams
by the bold presence of many Ameri-
can flags, carried by choir boys and by
veterans, as well as by the women of
the Relief Corps. And, to add a bit of
the military, the section of the Marine
Bank taking part was present in serv-
ice uniform.
Indeed. the clergymen connected with
the cathedral had made the song and
prayer service into series of cere-
monies of which Rev. DR.. William
lowering Devries was master. The
opening bars of Onward, Christian SOL
4
and the professional hymn was taken
up by the line of little choir boys, fol-
lowed by the older men and many rep
resentative clergymen of the diocese of
Washington. The colors of the process
sion were as fine part of the service
as were the militant hymn and the
special collects written for the service.
Flags Borne by Choir.
The choir. robed in purple and white,
carried with it two flags. one the BAN
ner of the cathedral. with an old-world
touch to its design. and the other a
fine silk Stars and Stripes.
From the choirroom in that part of
the cathedral which has already been
erected the procession wound slowly
through the oak grove. singing the
stirring words of one of the greatest
of all the church's militant hymns:
Forward into battle.
See his banners go.
Seats for the veterans and for the
women of the relief corps had been
placed about the foot of the peace
cross. near the places for the bishop
and ythe choir. The old soldiers sat SO

Special Prayers Offered.

There were collects of especial in
