THE FIRST STONE IS SET
WITH FORMAL CEREMONIES
Work on Sanctuary Of the Cathedral
of SIS. Peter and Paul Is Begun.
Flag Raising a Feature.

Work on the sanctuary of the Cathe-
dral of IS. Peter and Paul was begun
at Mount st. Alban yesterday with
formal ceremonies while the first stone
was set in place. A large United
states ensign was raised to the top of
the flag pole erected on the new steel

sanctuary and for divine guidance.
The girls of the National Cathedral
School for Girls saluted the flag, as

Flag Visible From Many Points.
The flag is now flying at one of the
highest points of the District Of Co
lumbia. On clear days the flag is
visible to observers from many por-
tions OF the city, even as far as the
Capitol terrace.
The ridge pole of the choir. transepts
and nave will be 124 feet from the
ground, SO that visitors to Mount st.
Alban are now able to estimate. 1t is
said, by measurement upon the steel
derrick the great height to which the
cathedral will rise, and will get an
idea of the proportions of the building.
The central tower of the cathedral
when built will reach a height of 220
feet, or forty-siX feet higher than the

Smartness Rather Than Goodness.

THE education of our youth aims at
smartness rather than at goodness.
Bible is read in school by teachers who
privately ridicule it. Books on bridge
and sports occupy the place in homes
formerly held by Bible and prayer
book golf links and tennis counts are, in
many quarters, not little responsible for
the emptiness of churches on the Sabbath
day.
"A time there was, in these United
States, when the courtroom was as
sacred as the church, and the Judge re-
garded as holy person as the preach
er. Court sessions opened and closed
with prayer. The presence of God was
asked and felt at every hearing. A
trial had all the sanctity of a divine
service. The oath was administered
with a sacredness that filled heart and
soul and mind with awe. Judges re-
garded themselves as administering
justice in the place of God. and that
on the righteousness of their decisions
depended the peace and welfare of the
nation,

Of fifty-four defendants, charged in in

in court today and pressed for a re-
duction In bail from the $4,000 asked
for each by the states attorney to
$4,000. Benedict J. Short, of counsel
for the labor men. argued that the
higher sum was unreasonable, and that
a lower amount, set against one charge
of each indictment. would be sufficient
to insure a defendants appearance.

Oath Often a Farce.

I'm our day. the oath is often a farce,
Is often administered by one who be-
lieves little to those who believe still
less OF perjury little is made. They
who do not believe in God have no fear
of God. 1t is not an unfrequent occur
ence to see rich criminals wreckers of
banks, embeZzlers of trust funds,
waterers Of stocks, freed from the con-
sequences Of guilt. and poor offenders
made to pay the full penalty of the
law.
IF we continue at the rate we are
going not all our wealth will save US.
The fate that has overtaken other ma
lions for like degeneracy viii overtake
ours. AS righteousness exalted a ma
ion.' so unrighteousness destroyeth it.
True patriotism shows itself as much
in love of God as in love of country;
without the love of either no nation can
keep alive. A reporter, describing a
murder case, wrote that the murdered
man had fortunately locked away his
vaIuables before he was attacked, and
so he lost only his life. Even SO may
ii be said of US: Our valua bles are safe,
he only things We are losing is our
religion and our patriotism; losing
these we lose our all. Trusting In our
abundance we may think ourselves in
destruct!ble till adversely oyertake US
and lays bare our weakness.
Adversely Effects Revival.
"A university extension lecturer told
his audience, the other night in Ger
nantown. that during the seven years
ne had lived in London he had seen
, several large revival movements fail.
The great mass of the people could not
be gotten into the church. Today, st.
Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey
are filed with worshipers every noon.
Adversely has effected a greater revival
than any that London had ever seen.
Amid tears and trembling man is
learning anew the fear of God Had
that fear not been lost among large
numbers Of the dipiomits of the bel
ligerent nations there would have
been no world-war today.
lis there no lesson in this for us,
Americans There are evils menacing
US, which We may yet ward off by
kindling anew within our borders a
faith IN God such as our founders had,
faith in a God of righteousness who
wants man 10 live and act righteously.
Such faith converts fear OF God into
love OF God. and links love of God with
love of country
We need restoration Of former
time reverence Of our Bible and our
flag. for they are the shcet-anchors
OF our nation, the preServerS OF our
moral strength and physical prowess.
Sustained by that reverence. and aid
ed by our priceless and unparalleled
advantages. no power on earth viii
sess us. Put love of God and country
into the hearts of the American people
and IL will constitute protecting
power greater than the mightiest navy
that was ever built. than the largest
army that was ever raised.

Services Tomorrow Evening.

AS one of the features in the two-day
celebration of the siXtieth anniversary
of the Washington Hebrew Congrega-
ton. which began last night at the
Eighth Street Temple, Rev. DR.. Abram
Simon, pastor. delivered an address at
the regular services at the temple this
morning, in which he warned the con-
sregation not to place too much re-
lance upon the compliments of visiting
rabbis, .'or even of your own rabbi" in
searching for the proper thing to do in
spiritual life.
He chose a text which he announced
as. Will two walk together unless
they have agreed Sixty years ago,
he said, a band of twenty-five men
came together in Washington. and
they agreed to found what has since
become the Washington Hebrew Con.
sregation. He spoke of the unpre-
tentious beginning of the congregation,
the small and unsatisfactory hall oc-
cupied a first, the sacrifices made.
From a little congregation" Dr.
Simon said, these men, agreeing to be
stirred by the old emotions. and walk
ing together. rekindled in the city of
Washington the lights of immortal
truth. We are happy, indeed, that these
few men, their wives and daughters,
have been able to hand down to us
through all these years this treasure of

Feels There Is Only One Answer.

But how long shall we walk to-
gether? 1 am inclined to feel that
there is only one answer, and that is
that unless all Israel agrees and each
one in Israel feels the force and re-
sponsibility of the bond; unless we all
understand that our religion has
claims upon our Sacrifices. we cannot
continue to walk together. 1t is easy
for other ministers, strange rabbis, to
come here and compliment Israel, pat
the Jews on the back, as if they had
never walked in the wrong path, as If
they had always agreed. But let US
understand that We must face the
truth We want to be stung into an
awakening. Let US not be hypocrites,
and If we find that We are not walking
together. let us tell the truth to each
other. in dignity and self-respect, SO
that we may find a way, in Jewish 10y
atty, to walk together as we should"

serve or central reserve cities the op-
tion of keeping per cent of their re-
serve with any national bank in any
reserve or central reserve city in the
United States, or within a radius of SOC
miles of the member bank or within

Der banks now can keep such per
cent in their own vaults or in the fed

national bank shares may be included
in the income of the owner or holder
thereof in assessing such taxes. in the

and not elsewhere.
