THINGS LINUS UAL
NEW YORK'S OLDEST
 CHURCH
By T. T. MAXEY
lsa<. Western Newspaper Union. )

St. Paul's 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, it Is the oldest church edi- flee still standing on Manhattan island the other two having passed Into history.
 This venerable, yet exceedingly well-preserved house of worship was commenced in 1764 and first opened for worship on October 80, 1766. The conflagration some years later ruined a 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 a 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. 73 feet wide. and its tall. old-fashioned spire is made up of 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 a 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 yard-1767. Behind the chancel within the church rest the remains of Gen Richard Montgomery, who lost his life in the battle before Quebec In 1776.
 A condition which at once raises c question in the mind of the looker-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 1t was believed that the territory be- tween the church and the river prom ised the greater development as the future unfolded. It has come to pass, however. that the reverse is true.
 In 17s9, a special service was held in St Paul's following the inaugura- ton of George Washington as the first president of the United States.

5 HOW GREAT MEN 3 MAKE LOVE E AS REVEALED BY THEIR
 LOVE LETTERS l By JOSEPH KAYE
WILLIAM PENN AND GULL
 IELMA SPRINCETT
By JOSEPH KAYE
by Wheeler Syndicate. Incl

THE famous Quaker and founder of A Pennsylvania married the beautiful Gulielma Springett, the daughter of Puritan officer. and theirs was a happy life out of the ordinary When Penn, harassed by religious prosecutions, Sc cured the tract of land in the New World and was about to set sail for the great adventure. he left his wife one of the most affecting pieces in Eng. lish literature, a farewell letter, the like of which 1t is hardly possible to find This letter contains about seven thousand words and begins:
 My love, which neither sea nor land nor death itself can e1tinguish. or les sen towards you, most endearedly visits you with eternal embraces and will abide with you forever; and may the God of my life watch over you and bless you and do you good in the world and forever! Some things are upon my spirit to leave with you in your re- spective capacities. as l am to one husband and to the rest a father If should never again see you in this world.
 My dear wife, remember thou vast the love of my youth and much the joy of my life; the most beloved as we'll as the most worthy of all my earthly com forts and the reason of that love was more thy inward than thy outward ex- cellenciea, which were many. God knows, and thou knowest 1t, I can say it was a match of Providence's making and Gods image in us both was the first thing and the most amiable and engaging in our eyes. Now I am to leave thee and that without knowing whether I shall ever see thee more in this world, take my counsel in thy bosom and let 1t dwell with thee in my stead while thou livest. :"
 There follows many pages of Penn's counsel" directions for Gulfs and her children's conduct. expressed in beau. tiful and sincere language and the let ter ends:
 "So farewell to thee, my dearly be loved wife and children-yours as God pieaseth. in that which no waters can quench. no time forget nor distance wear away. but remain for ever.
 WILLIAM PENN"
 It is an interesting coincidence that this letter was written, almost to the month, on the tenth anniversary oi Penn's marriage.

misfortune that befell him helped
him to realize a dream of years.
Forlin, a mine laborer "a Blairsville,

Alps and establish a tourist hotel.
The savings mounted slowly, however,
and the goal seemed far distant.
One day a pile of slate fell on him

his back which incapacitated him for
further work. The Workmen'S Com

j. s. LINES TO KEEP
ALL SHIPS GOING
Rumor of Withdrawal of
Leviathan Seen as
Rivals Trick.

The Leviathan and all other ships
of the United States Lines will remain
in their present service from New
York to Europe permanently, Presl-
dent Palmer of the Fleet Corporation
announced yesterday To set at rest re-
ports that they were to be tied up
indefinitely.
Mr.. Palmer was apprised of these
reports by T. II. Rossbottom, general
manager of the United States Lines,
now in Europe. who said the rumor
was being taken advantage of by
our competitors with the idea of reduc-
ing our future bookings" In a cable
message to Mr. RoSSbottom Mr..
Palmer said:
reference rumor about withdraw
ing Leviathan. there is absolutely no
intention of doing SO. On the con-
trary we intend to maintain and con-
tinue to improve service of the LeVia-
than and all other ships of the United
States Lines.
preliminary results show that this
year will be more successful than any
previous one. and from the enormous
number of letters most strongly in
dorsing every part of the services of
the United States Lines from all parts
of the country and Europe, l feel that
next year will be even better than this
year.
Declares RumOrs False.
Il need not reiterate to you that the
United States Lines is in the North
Atlantic run to remain permanently,
and nothing has tranSpired since
YOUR departure TO suggest anything
to the contrary. If any of our people
abroad have heard any of these un-
founded rumOrS they are of no more
importance than rumors of a similar
nature that have constantly been
broadcast in the last three or four
years"
The reports are understood to have
developed from intimations emanating
from the Shipping Board that, if the
budget was sharply curtailed some re-
duCtion in Government marine service
would be necessary and that the
United States Lines would be the first
affected
On the other hand, some Shipping
Board commissioners have said that
if any curtailment were found neCes-
sary for financial reasons, the freight
rather than the passenger services
would be reduced, inaSmuch as the
former represented the heaviest losses
in operation for the Government.
Asks Budget Increase.
Mr.. Palmer recommended an appro-
priation of SIS, 900 for the Fleet
Corporation for the fiscal year 1927
but the Shipping Board recently in
creased that estimate by S4,000.000 and
informed the Budget Bureau that for
the corporation and the board, s22,-
$40. 900 would be necessary. The
Budget Bureau had notified the board
that it could endeavor TO keep its re-
quest down to S15, ,300.0 900. but last
week returned the estimates with the
statement that the total must not ex-
ceed 1880. 900, thereby standing on
Mr.. Palmer's estimates.
