BISHOP DECLARES WASHINGTON
WASREGULAR IN CHURCHDUTIES
Denies Recent Biographer's Charge That
First President Had No Instinct or
Feeling for Religion.

George Washington had a remark
able and continual interest in re-
Hgion," Bishop James f. Freeman
said last night in answer to recent
biographers who, he said, either had
ignored or dismissed as insignificant
the facts about the spiritual side of
Washington's nature.
He quoted one of the biographies as
having said that the first President
seemed to have no instinct or feeling
for religion, although he attended
church ~ or Is times year. Bishop
Freeman said that both sides of
Washington's family tree We're full of
excellent churchmen.
Was Regular Attendant.
.'Up to the time of the Revolution"
he continued, washington was a
regular attendant at services in Po-
hick Church in Truro Parish, which
was a little nearer Mount Vernon than
Alexandria. AS a member of the
vestry he surveyed the parish and per-
suaded other members to adopt more
central location for a new church
building.
REV. Lee Massey, rector at Pohick,
said: L never knew so constant an
attendant on church as Washington.
And his behavior in the house of God
was ever so deeply reverent that it
produced the happiest effect on my
congregation and greatly assisted me
in my pulpit labors.
In the war against the French,
when Gov. Dinwiddle failed to re-
spond to his application for troops,
Bishop Freeman said, Washington
wrote that common decency" re-
quired the services of a clergyman in
a camp.
