The plans were drawn by George E.

will superintend the construction Of
the new mahogany stand. The work
will begin as soon as a contractor can
be secured. Marvin M. Mann, clerk of
the senate, vas given full power at
the last session to have the work
done.
Approaching the desk from the
front, the visitor will see a Parthenon
front, supported by Corinthian coll

be placed in the angle between the
h~and-carved frieze and the caves of

Tor the outcome of this thing to
assert themselves. and asserting them
selves even now. to enlighten our
Judgment and steady our spirits. No
man is wise enough to nou
Judgment, but we can all hold our
spirits i'm readiness to accept the truth
when it dawns on us and is revealed
to us in the outcome of this titanic
struggle.
You will see that ii is only such
general terms hat one can speak in
midst of a confused world, because, as
L have already said, no man has the
key to this confusion. No man can
see the outcome. but every man can
keep his W spirit prepared to con-
tribute to the net result when tina out
come displays itself.
THAT is the reason 1 said to a body
similar to this only u few nights ago
that / welcome the atmosphere which
these solemn assessments of the hu-
man spirit brings to Washington. For
this is the place of assessment. In
n sense Washington is not even a
part OF the United States. 1t is where
everybody else comes and sooner or
later speaks his mind about the
United States, Inc about many outly-
ing parts of the world. Mr.. Bryan
and | are constantly auditors to what
L dare say is a large part of the
opinion of the world; to Judge by the
time it takes to express it. 1 think a
very large part, and to judge by the
variety and %contrariety Of it, 1 dare
say II Is a fair cross section Of what
men are thinking about"
Secretary Bryan followed the presi-
dent with an address Of welcome to
the visiting clergy. His remarks were
confined strictly to a discussion Of the
three great relationships" which he
characterized as government, society
and religion. or mans relation to
God" Great and important. as all
these relations we're. Mr.. Bryan said,
he believed religion was most impera-
tive to the welfare of a nation.
