Organized in 1902.
This church was organized March
! Z, 1902, with the following as mem
bers: Charles P Polk, Cephas Fox,
Charles Rogers, John Buchan, Joseph
Borrows and Sarah Borrows. At
that time Congress was in session
for. the second time in Washington.
The city had not been incorporated,
and contained less than 1000 in
habitants. F street was then the
principal thoroughfare. Pennsyl-
vania avenue was then an unim-
proved road.
The first preaching was supplied
and the ordinances administered for
the church by Rev. William Parkin-
son, then chaplain to Congress.
Immediately following the organ
ljZation of the church measures were
taken to provide house for worship,
and in the succeeding autumn new
m meeting- house, on the corner of l
and 18th streets was occupied.
For five years the church was
without a pastor. In January, 1907,
an invitation to the pastoral charge
was given to Rev. Obadiah 3. Brown
of New Jersey who entered upon his
duties on February 21. This pastoral
connection continued forty-three
years. In 1914. oliver Comstock
while a member of Congress from
New York, was baptized and received
as a member of this church, and
was licensed to preach the gospel
In 1919 he was ordained to the min
istry by this church, and relinquish
ed political life for the Office of an
evangelist of Christ The Bible school
was organized in 1919.
In 1888 new edifice was erected
for the church on 10th street

This is especially true with the little
folks of the Green Forest and the
little people of the Green Meadows
1t is often the little things that make
the difference between life and happi-
ness and death and sorrow. So it is
that they are always listening, not
for big sounds. but for the snap of a
little twig or the rustic of leaf. And
SO it is that they are always watching
for little movements In the grass or
among the trees. and for other little
things that you and would not notice
at all.
Now while Peter Rabbit often is
most needless, there are times when
he is very cautious. AS he went
hopping and skipping along through
the Green Forest toward the place

worry. But as he approached the

one had Whispered it in his ear, he

and all the time re was listening with
all his might. Gentle Mistress Moon
was high in the sky, and the moon
beams made patches Of light and
shadow all through the Green Forest.
Peter heard nothing and saw nothing
OF which to be afraid. yet he couldn't
ria himself of the feeling that danger
OF some Kind was very near What
kind OF danger it might be he hadn't
the least idea, but until he could get

to stay where he was,

Low SHIPPING RATE
AS ADVANTAGE TO D. c
VIII Be Emphasized by Merchants
Association in Campaign to
Attract Industries.

The short distance from Washington
to Norfolk and the fact that there is
a direct line railroad between the two
points gives the District an excep-
tionally low freight rate to the sea,
R. p. Andrews, chairman OF the fac
tory-boosting committee of the Mer-
ohaht1 and Manufacturers Associa-
tion. pointed out today.
There are W inland cities in the
United StateS." said Mr.. Andrews,
'that have a lower freight rate to a
shipping port than Washington. Fiji
teen cents per hundred pounds, I
think, is a fair average of the cost of
freight shipments from Washington
to Norfolk
Low Shipping Rate Factor.
This low shipping rate is another
fact that will be emphasized by the
merchants association in its cam
paign to show the manufacturing pos
sibilities of the District.
Manufacturers in the states. said
Mr.. Andrews, are surely overlooking g
numerous opportunities in Washing
ton, city of 400, 900 inha bitants, with
tnfckly populated surrounding terrl-
tory in maryland and Virginia.
Members of the factory boosting
committee believe that few business
men in the states ever think of Wash
ington as anything more than series
of government buildings, surrounded
by the homes of the clerks who work
in those buildings.
Committee Will Advertise.
The first object of the committee
will be to advertise throughout the
land the fact that Washington al
ready is the center of a number of
light factories and has many avail
able sites near railroad terminals for
more plants.

Not All Jews Sympathize With

Rabbi Abram Simon, speaking to
the Washington Hebrew Congregation
last night, said he is opposed to Zion
ism, the paganda of which, he
maintained, gives an erroneous I'M
preston that all the Jews of the coun-

He presented three reasons for his

which was that in his opinion Zionism
misreads the trend and meaning OF

PORTRAY THE PEOPLES
Of SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Tribes Which Bury Their Old Alive
Described by Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin Johnson.

DR.. Osler suggested nothing new
if he ever said it at all-for down
among the South Sea Islands the old
are buried alive when they pass the
period of usefulness.
Martin Johnson showed motion pic
lures of natives dancing on the newly
made graves OF the victims of this
South Pacific efficiency" when he
and Mrs. Johnson spoke before the
National Geographic Society yester-
day afternoon and last evening.
Believe the Earth Is Flat.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson went
cunning" for the pictures among the
numerous unexplored islands which
dot the South Pacific, an area that
covers a tenth of the globes surface,
and contains 100000 inhabitants.
OF these, at least two million, Mr..
Johnson estimated, still are savage
enough ito believe the earth is fat,
ana they never heard of German G1u1-
tur' or have been annoyed by book
agents.
Native dances, which seemed amaz-
ingiy like the steps of a Broadway
chorus. were danced by maidens at
tired in nose sticks, huge earrings and
necklaces, which seemed to comprise
the. complete attire dictated by the
spring fashions of the Solomon Is
lands. The open work ears" which
had been distended by discs that look
IKE ear drums, often hung down to
the shoulders. In Malaita they are
wearing strings of human teeth, and
nothing else. this season.
Mrs. Johnson told of the distinctive
variety of "pidgin" English spoken
by the shore natives of various is
lands. There are as many as 400 diff
ferent tongues spoken by the various
islanders, Mr.. Johnson stated. Mrs
Johnson usually made friends with
the natives, among whom, sshe naively
stated, there probably was little more
danger than among the white lights
OF Boradway. But this popularity oc-
casionally had it's disadvantages.

One Chief Has Four Wives.

The pictures showed the four coal
black wives of one native chief. who
courteously offered to trade them all
for the explorers wife.
Cannibalism still exists in many of
these islands, and Mr.. johnson showed
one picture of natives bearing huge
bowl to the grove where they OBJ
served their ceremonials in connection
with their human roasts. Amid a
background of some of the most beau
tiful scenery to be found in the world,
the speaker said, exist peoples of al
most animal-like savagery and feroc-
ity, to whom torture and murder seem
the favorite pastimes.

He presented three reasons TOR ms
opposition to the movement, one OF
which was that in his opinion Zionlsm
misreads the trend and meaning OF
Jewish history and its philosophy, and
the others being that it denationalizes
, and will not solve the Jewish problem.
Only 10 Per Cent of Total.
Rabbi Simon contended that If there
are as many as 100000 Zionists in this
country who are ardently advocating
the creation of a Jewish nation in re-
stored Palestine, they form only ~
per cent of the total Jewish popuia-
tion The silence or indifference or the
remaining nine-tenths is calculated
he said, to give wrong estimate o'
their attitude in the matter.
"The individuality of the jew, add-
ed Rabbi Simon lis expressed IN ms
religion. Judaism is no longer mat
ter of geography. The creative , ge
MUS of the Jew was not political. Ihe
ssout tstanding figures in Jewish history
Suggest prophets and psalmists not
kings and statesmen. Zionlsm, as
political. exaIts the function OF ma
tianality at the expense of religion
as'f Proud to Be Americans.
They are proud and happy in their
American citizenship, according TO
Rabbi Simon, and they have no long
fflg to give up this citizenship for
what they describe as a possible the
saretical nation, explaining that the
dew. developed as cosmopolitan,
cannot be satisfied with being mere
Palestine. They are satisfied that
their religion can flower anywhere
sand everywhere, and they refuse to
intrust the fortunes or destiny of Ju-
daism to handful of their brethren
who may be successful in forming a
new nation.
Opponents of the plan. he explained.
insist that the unity of Israel can be
maintained without any ingredients
of political sovereignty. To deny this.
according to the speaker, is to dis
claim the teachings of the past TWEEN
ty centuries. Also there is certain
lack of confidence in the Arab and
;sdbey fear disturbances are likely to
arise between Arabs and Jews.
zionism. he said. is IAN invitation to
2 me to be denationalized.' He de-
clared that he had no desire to sur
srender his citizenship here for an i'm
Piled Jewish citizenship in Palestine.
- Does Not Solve Jewish Problem.
He said that Zionism cannot solve the
Jewish problem, because Palestine is
today populated by far more Arabs
sand Syrians than Jews, and that many
of the former are extensive lapdown-
ers. Therefore, to have a majority of
Jewish citizens in Palestine calls ''for
some method, besides extensive immi-
grafton. to secure an amiable reduc-
tion or withdrawal Of the Arab-Syrian
population"
AS solution of the whole PROPOSE
tion, he said, the Jews of all classes
can unite upon two propositions:
First: to demand equal civil and
religious rights for the brethren
everywhere: and, second to encourage
the development of Palestine for the
benefit of all who desire to live there
under the sovereignty of the nation
