THOUSAND LAyMEN
ATTEND SERVICE.
Bishop Freeman Pre- aches on
Text, keep That Which Is
Committed to Try Trust"

Nearly a thousand laymen Of the
Washington diocese yesterday afternoon
assembled in the great choir CT Wash
ington Cathedral to participate in
special service of rededication to Chris
tan ideals Of life.
Marching in the procession with the
diocesan clergy were representatives OF
the newly organized Laymen's League,
including its president, Eugene Thomp-
son. and diocesan vice president, Busey
H. Howard.
The service was conducted by Canon
Raymond L. Wolven. The lesson was
read bv Rev. Dr. Ze Barney T. Phillips,
rector of the Church of the Epiphany
and chaplain Of the United States
Senate.
Right Rev. James E. Freeman. Bishop
of Washington. preached to the text,
Keep That Which Is Committed to
Thy Trust" from Timothy. vi.2O. He
declared that the charge which st. Paul
gave to his son. a layman, transcends
every other claim which is made upon
Christian communicates.
That commission of guardianship has
been transmitted down the generations
to the Christians of today. 1t Is re-
sponsibility of clergy and laity alike.
Religion of Both.
III the fate of the church rested ex-
clusively on the clergy" Bishop Free
man said, Il should be apprehensive OF
the future. 1t has been asked what
kind of religion the. religion OF tne
years to come is to be-a religion OF
the laity or a religion of the clergy.
The answer is A religion CT both. Un-
less the laity respond to their obllga-
ton and undertake to discharge the
duties of their trusteeship, l am
alarmed for the destiny OF the church
The first obligation of Christian
is LOYALTY and devotion to the Kingdom
of Jesus Christ. That obligation taxes
precedence over every other obligation.
Our Lord does not say. Seek We sec
ondly the Kingdom of God and It's
Righteousness He says, Seek ye nrst
the Kingdom of God
THE solution of the problems OF the
hour depends upon Christian faith and
Christian living The depression and
all the ills which characterize 1t are
the results of a lowering OF the moral
and religious tne of the life OF the
people of the world.
Il suffer an intense mental fatigue
when I hear men speak of the liml-
tations Of Christianity I tell you that
Christianity is not a spent force. II
is. on the contrary, a force, the full
power of which never has been tested.
IF only we could rise to our respon-
sibility as Christians. we might look to
see the greatest bloodless revolution
that the world ever has dreamed OF.
What Would Jesus Do?
1--WE should measure every act and
thought of our lives by the question,
What would Jesus do?' I know that
that is a counsel of perfection, but
Christian trusteeship covers every single
concern of the human mind and heart.
There Is tremendous need at pres
ent. cannot exaggerate 1t. l plead
with YOU to renew your conservation
in the face of the demand OF this
crisis.
"Christs church is in peril. As never
before Christian institutions are threat
ened from without and from within. l
appeal to you to stand firm. Let st.
Paul's injunction govern you. Keep
that which is committed to thy trust !"
