DIOCESE
QUOTAEXCEEDED
Washington Districts Part in
National Work Is Over
subscribed.

Rev. Or. D. Wellington Curran.
executive secretary Of the Council OF
the Episcopal Church in the diocese
OF Washington, has announced that
the contributions from the parishes
Of the diocese for the support OF the
work of the Episcopal Church in its
national scope and for the diocesan
budget have exceeded the quota as
signed to this diocese. This announce
ment Is made with considerable salts
faction, because in December the do
cese faced disquieting deficit
The diocese of Washington Is OK
pected to pay annually to the national
council the sum of SCI. 200 for the
domestic missionary fields. for the
support of the national headquarters
and for educational and social service
work undertaken under the direction
the sum of s25. 900 is asked for the
missionary work of the diocese, which
includes stipends paid to the rural
clergy and certain matters OF up
keep. To cover this quota of $86.200
pledges made by the parishes in 1926
totaled S5,02424.
If all pledges were paid i'm full there
would still be a small deficit. AS a
matter of fact. during the year most
of the parishes paid the total amount
pledged and a large number eX-
ceeded that amount. For instance,
St. James Chapel, at Indian Head.
Md, contributed 316 per cent of it's
quota. Among the larger churches,
Christ Church in Georgetown paid 100
per cent Of it's quota. and there are
many other examples of overpayment.
AS a result the diocese contributed
during 1926 the sum of $S8,05e.7S.
Pledges for 1921 so far received in
dictate that the quota for the diocese
will again be met during the current
year.

Sunday School Lesson

Master for a season. He never leaves
any of us for a long period.
Paul warns us against the perils
that Christians face from the tempta-
tons that test our religion. lie per-
sonally felt the danger of falling into
temptations which would impair his
fitness for preaching the gospel. No
Christian is immune from temptations.
If Christ found them alone in the
wilderness we will be forced TO meet
them in the intense age of today in
unexpected places. Let us not live
under the deluslon that we can't be
tempted, or expect that we have
mastered Ii, if we run from it, This
is a sign Of weakness. Face it, armed
with a mastery of the Scriptures and
endowed with the power Of the Holy
Spirit. 1t is no sin to be tempted.
We need to watch and pray, so that
when we are tempted we can con-
quer through the help that Jesus will
supply. We can conquer, for no
temptation will be greater than we
are able to master. Therefore we
should face every testing time with
confidence in our power to overcome
through the aid our Master will
supply.
IN every temptation the Lord con-
siGered the Fathers will Whenever
we bring temptation up to the
standard Of His word, work and will
the path Of rejection will be clearly
seen. The joy that comes from taking
stand in accordance with the Lord s
law will fill us with added strength
that will enable us 10 meet the next
temptation with n greater confidence
in Christ's sustaining power. The
greatest trial, the hardest temptation
to conquer. is not difficult for our
Lord. If we considered our own
weakness we would fail, but when
we put our trust in His grace, power
and presence 1t will enable us to meet
every temptation with a spirit of con-
fidence that will enable us to over
come the temptation and receive new
strength for our Lords service.
Our Lord did not teach us in the
prayer that was a part of lasts weeks
lesson to seek to avoid temptation
that brings us renewed power. He
taught us to pray for the help Of
His grace that we should not be I'M
expectedly brought INTO a tempta-
ton in such d way that we cannot
conquer and overcome through Divine
help and aid. This will enable us
to return from every conflict with
the manifold temptations of life with
renewed and increased strength to"
perform the work assigned US, as
Christians, to do for the glory of our
Lord and Savior.

not encourage such revolt. Even
when they offered Him the crown of
the Kingdom which they wished to
establish upon the ruins of the Ro-
man oppression, He refused it. When
one of His closest friends offered to
save his Masters life by the use of
the sword, He rebuked him. Peter, in
his hot-headed enthusiasm, drew his
sword and made a pass at one Of
the servants of the high priest and
cut off one Of the poor fellows ears.
Christ told him to put his sword back
into the scabbard, and one chronicle
says that He put the ear back on and
healed the damage that had been
done.
Throughout His ministry on earth,
Jesus taught the desirability of peace.
Never did he bless any guns or swords
or generals, so far as the record
shows
Whenever Christians become Chris
tians enough to practice the major
features of the doctrine preached by
their Master, they will abolish war
with very little trouble. But that will
not be in our time, nor in the future
that we can at this time foresee.

plea when they claim that the appeal

the prime requisite of peace
full and orderly society. "Out of the
heart are the issues of life"-not out
of the head: and until the hearts of
men are changed, peace is impossible
upon this planet. You cannot build
a good society out of bad men any
more than you can build good house
out of rotten boards.
Therefore, Jesus Christ said: Eye
must be born again" and except a
man be born again, he cannot see the
Kingdom of God" He cannot even
see it, much less enter into it. He
cannot apprehend it's tremendous
spiritual forces, because spiritual
things are spiritually discerned."
The great need of the age is the
preaching of the profound truths Of
the Christian religion--the Gospel of
Jesus Christ--for it alone is the
power of God unto salvation, to all
who believe"
Therefore, instead of rushing about
so frantically in their effort to abolish
war" the religious modernists need
to devote their time, strength and
enthusiasm of the God-giVen task of
abolishing SIM
Every Christian heart bleeds with
sympathy and sorrow over the hor-
rible injustice, suffering and shame of
war, and all true followers of God
will do all in their power to play the
happy part of the peace maker, both
as between individuals and between
the nations of the earth. But let
us not entertain any vain or foolish
hope Of an earth-torn, man-made
reign of righteousness because the
tares are to grow with the wheat
until the end of the age. Jesus him
self has told us that one of the signs
of the closing of this dispensation and
the opening of another and more
blessed era of world history would be
war and rumors of war;" and He
himself has said plainly that nations
shall rise against nation and kingdom
against kingdom"
