CENTURIES OF SERVICE

Ringing again with hymns for
years unsung and with the names of
many now departed. the Hermitage
Presbyterian Church, a vine-clad
brick house established in 1923 by
Gen. Andrew Jackson, entered its
second century of service.-News
report from Nashville, Tenn.
Thus are Americas traditions en-
riched. Thus are worthwhile sentiments
of the past projected into the future
Thus are builded and reinforced the

A place where men gather to worship
1t may be small building remote from
work-a-day affairs; it may be large
imposing edifice in the heart of inces,
SAINT activity; but whatever its location
or its architectural nature, every church
has history that cannot be disassociatet
from the annals of those who pass in
an dout of its doors. And to those who
are not dead to the finer impulses, there
is something ineffably comforting in the
very atmosphere that pe-vades its in
terror and hangs about its portals.
This country is comparatively young
so, too, of course, are It's institutions.
But among the oldest of its institutions
are churches which, like the one estab-
lished by "Old Hickory" have been
hallowed by fine, with its ever-increas-
ing memories. San Antonio, for example
has some churches which date back into
the uncertain days of exploration-un-
certain except for the faith of those who
came into the wilderness as forerunners
of the civilization which this community
: now enjoys. Some of these churches
still endure. And there are others, OF
recent construction. that will be found
carrying on hundreds of years from
the present day.
A community without churches would
be a community without soul; and a
Z community without a soul would have
/ most sordid existence. 1t is inspiring
to know that Americas great men, those
whose names are inseparably associated
with the country's history, have beer
men of faith and reverence. Now ant
