ENGLISH CHURCH LEADER
 ISSUES WARNING

Dean Inge of St. Paul's Cathedral, who is regarded by many as the most
 influential figure in the church life of Great Britian. and whose opinion in both religious and political mat ters is given serious consideration by peoples of all ereeds. has issued a warning to his countrymen, based upon the prevailing conditions in Russia. Dean Inge says: We have an awful object lesson before us of what may happen to a great nation which entrusts its destinies to a band of revolutionary fanatics. First come the haIf-crazy idealists, with their nc Cstrums, tearing to pieces the delicate and complicated structure of civilization, and offering to put it together again, as if they were deal ing with clock and not with @ liv- ing organism. Then, when the ma chinery of law and order has been destroyed. the idealists are thrust aside. and blood thirsty criminals step into their places. They could not stop If the ywished to do so. He who rides on q tiger can never dis mount, as a Chiaese proverb says"

AMERICA wORsHiPS WHERE
 WASHINGTON PRAYED

The Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge. recently completed, has been characterized by ex-Presi- cent Wilson as The Shrine of the American People" The grace and beauty of this shrine has become an object of admiration by tourists Of Europe and America. It's rugged strength Is immediately impressive as one views 1t in a woodland over locking the encampment Wilfred Powell, the British consul general, called 1t the American Westmin- ster." To the west of the chapel is the Cloister of the Colonies in which the arches represent the thirteen original states. The architectural group also includes the Porch of the Allies, Patriots Hall. Thanksgiving Tower and Washington Memorial Lii hrary. In the marble floors are set the colonial seals, reproduced in brass while in the dark wrought iion are the state arms. carved and cclored. The gates of wrought iron are symbolical of the church mili- tant, and the emblems of the Cos pels are hammered in the iron. In the stone walls of the porch one may read Washington's valedictory prayer. wrought in glass, and Wash irgton's message to to the soldiers at Valley Forge: While We are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers. we cer- tainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distin Guished character of patriot 1t should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of 1 Christian" In the Litany desk has been placed a plate of brass con- taining a note from Washington 5 diary. June l. 1774: Went to church and lasted all day"
 The pews, the windows, the altar. and every detail, all are rare works of art and symbolize with rare ap- l ropriateness the faith of Washing ton and the founders of this re- public. The Rev Dr. Herbert Burk. rector of this chapel. says; 'It is the result of twenty years of pray CT. Every stone is the answer to a prayer. Every beautiful detail ia & prayer inspired. The angels still grind the colors, and guide the ar lists brush. and so the canvas glows with the vision of heaven at least at Valley Forge"
