Naval Academy Chaplain's Sermon

Large Crowd.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, June 2.-Before
a congregation of June week" visi-
tors that overtaxed the Naval Acad-
emy Chapel. Capt. Sydney K. Evans,
chaplain of the academy, yesterday
preached the baccalaureate sermon
before the class of midshipmen to be
graduated Wednesday.
Chaplain Evans, preached from the
text, Acts 22:14: "The God of our
fathers hath chosen thee" Referring
to world conditions, he said. THE
millennium is still far distant. God
hasten the day when war shall be no
more.
"At the very time they sit in sor-
now and poverty of the ruins of the
world war. there has been revived by
seven nations of continental Europe
the old allegiance system. Sad COM
ment is this on the gullibility and
undigested observations and the fab

the security of our flag, by their
blfn dneSS and senseless mouthings of
peace, peace when there is no peace,
would force US into policy of lamb

THINGS
UNUSUAL
NEW YoRK'S OLDEST
CHURCH
BY T. r. MAxEY

st. Paufs church, which stands at
the northwest corner of Broadway
and Vesey street In Little Old New
York" is one Of the three public build
ings erected before the days Of the
Revolutionary war which have with
stood the ravages Of progress in that
fast-changing city. The third church
to be built, 1t is the oldest church edi-
fee still standing on Manhattan island
the other two having passed into
history.
This venerable. yet exceedingly
well-preserved house Of worship was
commenced In 1894 and first opened
for worship on October 80. 1865. The
confagration some years later ruined
considerable portion Of the city and
laid to waste buildings on all sides Of
this religious home, but by reason of
the fatness of the roof which enabled
the firemen to mount 1t and extin-
guish the fires which were started by
brands blown from other buildings
falling on its roof, st. Paul's escaped
later steeple was added.
The interior Of this splendid ex-
ample Of early-day church architec-
ture was fashioned after that Of st.
Martin's-in-the- Fields, London. The
building is 113 feet long, 70 feet wide,
and its tall, old-fashioned spire Is
made up Of a series Of differently
shaped sections stacked one on top Of
the other.
In keeping with the majority Of an
cient houses Of worship, ST. Paul's is
surrounded by burial plot which, in
turn, is inclosed by a tall iron fence.
The grave Of Francis Dring bears the
earliest inscription of all Of those in
this' sard-1167. Behind the chancel
within the church rest the remains of
Gen. Richard Montgomery, who lost
his life in the battle before Quebec In
1775.
A condition which at once raises q
question in the mind of the lo0ker-on
Is the peculiar fact that this church
turns its back on Broadway and faces
toward the Hudson river and the New
Jersey shore. It Is explained that
this came about because Of the fact
that at the time Of its construction it
was believed that the territory be-
tween the church and the river prom
Used the greater development as the
future unfolded. It has come to pass,
however. that the reverse Is true.
In 1889, special service was held
in st. Pauls following the Inaugural
ton of George Washington as the first
president Of the United States.

THE sKYscRAPER CHURCH

In 1881, when Chicago was in its
swaddling clothes, the Methodists pur-
chased plot Of ground In the down
town section Of the town and built
their first" church center upon it,
By the time 1856 rolled around, the
increased growth made the securing
of larger quarters an absolute neces-
sity. In the meantime, the business
part Of the city had shaped itself
around the church and the value Of
che church property had increased at
tremendously rapid rate The Meth
odists might have sold out at hand
some profit, but instead they decided
to retain their holdings and capital
lied the situation by combining re-
|, ligion and business after a new
fashion, producing a practical novelty.
They built building several stories
high. within which was church, and
rented the ground floor and all other
space not used for church purposes,
for business purposes.
History has again repeated itself.
The attendance of 1922 had outgrown
the church Of 1855. Their plot had
become the center of the city's retail
business section. So again, the Meth
odists enlarged their quarters and in
duplicating their former plan on far
larger and far more grand scale, they
produced the tallest building in Chi.
cago, the most unusual church build
ing In America, and the highest
church building in all the world.
This magnificent skyscraper church
Is so by 1872 feet and p stories (and
basement). or 26O feet high. The cor.
ner is surmounted by an elaborate but
substantial spire which carries on"
296 feet farther-making the total
height of the structure 556 feet.
An elaborate entrance leads from
the street directly into veritable
dream of q "house Of worship" sur
rounded by shops and stores within.
This secluded church Is modelled
somewhat after the style Of the Eng.
fish churches, elegant but simple dig
nified. and In silent accord with the
creed of the church. with a seating
capacity of about 1900 persons ano

The original church is said to have
cost $3.50. The new structure, il
graceful spire dwarfing all other sky
scrapers In Chicago, cost about So,
100000, and the annual income from
the space rented for stores and Office
Is a fabulous one.
