T T took Congress quite a while to
wake up to its responsibility to
care for its holdings in the Con-
i gressional Cemetery, which for so
many years it has left to the
committee managing the cemetery
without making any appropriation to
cover the necessary expense. OF course,
the committee just had to cut the grass
and, in way, at least, keep up the
burial lots owned by the Government in
order to keep the grounds from look
ing disgraceful and rejecting too harsh
" against the other parts Of the prop
erty, but, naturally. 1t saw no special
reason why 1t should keep up the Ma
tons cenotaphs any more than it would
the monuments of other site or lot own
ers in this noted metropolis.
AS to the wisdom of Congress In ever
starting the custom of placing cenotaphs
in this cemetery to the memory Of de-
ceased members of Congress there has
always been a difference of opinion.
But they are there; and in many cases,
the particular member Of Congress who
died years ago is there. too. and it Is
now just as much duty to keep up
the respectable surroundings of their
graves as it was in the first place to
erect here the monuments to their
memory.
No country with Justice to itself can
forget its honored dead, and no doubt
all the people will be glad to know that
the efforts Of Representative Abernethy
to have the Government care for and
preserve certain lands and monuments
In the Congressional Cemetery" was not
without avail. and 1t is hoped that flu
ture congresses win provide, If neces-
sary, for keeping up the good work.
The Civil War changed conditions in
many ways, and It was during this Pc
Rod that congressional appropriations
for caring for Government-owned lots
In Congressional Cemetery were stopped
However, every now and then an effort
was made to renew national interest,
but the movers in this good cause, be-
coming discouraged, were finally forced
to give up the idea, and in this way the
matter has rested until now.

A CORRESPONDENT Of an out-of-
"A town newspaper, writing to his
home town some a years ago, made
some interesting statements which are
well worth repeating today. He said:
"One Of the largest cemeteries in this
district Is known as the Congressional
Cemetery. The strange part Of 1t is
that 1t has no connection with Con-
gress, and has not since 1864, when

your slogan. Don't waste your

trains are VIGOROUSLY slow
Even the Europeans-particular those
who have travelled in America-are
frank to admit their inferiority.
On the other hand, It is my personal
opinion that the Europeans are Justly
proud of their commercial air lines.
Perhaps 1t was for this very reason
that the enterprising North German
Lloyd Steamship Co. and the Deut.che
Luft Hansa decided to introduce their
airways to Americans interested In
aviation. They organized the first air
cruise in history, which was to be SIM

fnerce." Members of the air cruise
were TO visit important capitals and
inspect the greater air fields, such as
Croydon, lie Bourget and Templehof.
Furthermore. they were to be intro
duced to the best and latest European
models of airplanes at the Interna-
tional Aviation Exposition In Berlin.

Conrad Won Hohenstaufen, the BROTH
err of Frederick BarbaroSSa, saw the
need for church in his native Heidel-
berg during the middle of the twelfth
century, SO he built a small chapel dedi-
Gated to the Holy Ghost so that he and
his fellow townspeople might worship in
peace; but the chapel he constructed,
now part of the choir of the enlarged
structure, was anything but peaceful
church. For nearly three centuries, from
the time of Conrad, who had continual
quarrelS with the ecclectical authori-
ties, to the times of the Reformation,
the story of the church Is one Of strife
and turmoil.
A half century Of comparative quiet
on December 30, 1545, tentatively intro
duced the reformed doctrines at Heidel-
berg and caused the celebration of the
Holy Sacrament according to Lutheran
rites few days later. It was the cause
of such an. outburst of fury on the part
of various of the inhabitants and the
Catholic clergy that Frederic restored
some measure of the old ceremonies in
order to appease the various factions
But Otto Heinrich dissolved the chap
ter and reorganized worship under
strictly Lutheran lines; Friedrich the
Plus, few years later introduced the
rites of the Swiss reformers; his son,
Ludwig. brought back Lutheran rule;
and these in turn were cast out again
by John Casimir, under orders of Fried
rich w. Once again, however, under
Ludwig v, Lutheranism was in power

Religious Questions

them to those elemental needs OF the
soul, which are deeper than racial
strain, culture, class or sect. From
them springs the motive power OF world
evangelization. The missionary to the
multitudes who have not heard this
gracious gospel is nearest to the divine
mind that conceived it,
@. Will you please explain Psalm
viil.4-6. The passage reads: When
consider Thy heavens, the works Of
Thy fingers, the moon and the stars,
which Thou hast ordained, what is
man, that Thou art mindful of him,
and the son of man, that Thou visitest
him? For Thou has made him little
lower than the angels and hast crowned
MIN with glory and honor"
A. This Is what is known as ma
ture Psalm and emphasizes two leading
ideas. Cd The majesty of God as evil
denced in creation. 90 The SurpaSS-
ing majesty of man as Gods vicegerent
The further suggestion that man is but
for while little lower than the
angels has been Endorsed by Old Tesla
ment scholars. The contrast between
natures seeming supremacy and mans
seeming insignificance is thus explained
by the ancient poet. But he did not
settle the issue raised.
Charles Richet in his book, 1.-THE I'M
potence Of Man." descants on his
pathetic feebleness as creature bound
to earth by the unbreakable chains of
gravity. The whirlwinds' of force,
which hurl him hither and thither,
though but storm in teacup beside
the cosmic terrors of space, destroy
him and his mightiest works. Helpless
among his fellows, he is much more SO.
If this is possible, when he is solitary.
The conclusion of this brilliant au-
thor is that man resembles a gold fish
in bowl. The height of his ambl-
ton can only be to go on YEARLY
swimming round and round his trans
parent prison"
Those who are inflated with human
arrogance can study Richet and de-
fate. But he Is not convincing to
the sober mind. After all, we choose
many of the forces by which we are
environed. We dare to probe the
secrets of our own being. We con-
struct q universe in which our edicts
run by means of organized knowledge.
We pierce by means of the radio the
vast interspaces and fill them with
benevolent intelligence. All OF which
may be vain presumption, but 1t sus-
tains the psalmist's plea.

plundered and almost annihilated in the
Thirty Years War.
The war was a mere armistice as far
as the theological strife was concerned,
for Just after its close Karl Ludwig
attempted Cancellation between all
parties by introducing a modified
reform worship, but after the Orleans
War a Catholic reaction set in and with
it went the control of the church to
that of Rome. An agreement was then
reached between the Catholics and
Lutherans by which the former accepted
the altar part of the edifice and the
Lutherans received the choir end. And
to inforce the agreement wall was
erected across the midst of the building
the east still stands the altar Of Catholic
worship; on the other side high pulpit
dominates the nave.
While the ancient chapel was COM
pleted in the twelfth century, the large
structure facing the square in Heidel-
berg was commenced in 1898, by
Ruprecht III, and finished by Ludwig v
somewhere about 1900. 1t was never a
cathedral, though it did fulfill most of
the functions of one, having been raised
by Ruprecht to the rank of Stiftskirche
