PERIODS OF RENEWAL
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. d, Ill. u.
Bishop of Washington

value in corporate worship, worship IN
the house of God. that has value tnat
we too little recognize. That there >
place where spirits blend, Where lflenu
holds fellowship with friend, Is aito-
gether true. We give too much empha-
Sis in our conception of corporate Wor-
ship to the place which the sermon
holds. While preaching is g. valuable
aid to reflection, it is not the primary
purpose for which the church STANDS;
Worship is its primary and eSsentlal
function. To get away. from the mar
RAISING cares of life and to join Win
friends and neighbors in prayers and
hymns, and to feel with them the COM
monness of the tie that binds us, al
well as the commonness OF our depend
ence upon God, all this is an indis-
pensable contribution to efficient living
If it did nothing more than emphasize
the unity of our life, 1t would justify
itself
Services broadcast have distinct
value, especially to those who are in
valided or aged, but they cannot have
the value that accrueS to those cor
porate acts Of worship to which We con-
tribute through personal interest and
reyerent devotion. Those of us who
have been brought up in households
where Sunday worship was the normal
practice, however far in more recent
years we may have departed from 1t,
are conscious of the influence 1t has
exercised upon our lives. Again, those
OF US who In early life were accustomed
to family devotions and the reading OF
the Bible at the fireside still retain un-
forgettable impressions Of these expert
ences. The need for all this Is much
more evident today than heretofore.
Life is hectic and hurried. Its action is
nervous and intense, hence the need of
brief interludes where we can the more
deliberately and considerably contem-
plate the part we must play In the
scheme of things. A single quiet hour
spent in the fellowship of our friends
and neighbors in the quiet of some
church, where self-interests give place
to corporate interests, will do more to
stabilize and strengthen us than our
many and noisy discussions about secu-
lar and economic questions. We can
face life with more courage where we
recognize the place that prayer and
worship occupy in its economy.

"I tuiH not let thee 90 except thou
bless me. .'-Genesis, Trrii26.

Wise Men Worship" is the title OF
a remarkable book that contains ex-
pressions from leading scientists, phil
osOphers and public men concerning
their views as to the value of worship
In every instance they speak of its in
dspensableneSS in TIE scheme of we'll
ordered living. Their observations
remind us of what another has said
There's not man that lives who has
not known his Godlike hours"
That there Is something in human
nature that reaches out for communion
with God is universally true. Darwin
found in the most uncivilized of the
worlds races a religious instinct. En-
tirely apart from any claim the church
makes for recognition of the value
of its offices, 1t is true, as Sabatier has
said: Man Is incurably religious" No
matter how We may suppress the re-
llglouS instinct, nor indeed how indif-
ferent we may be to the call of worship
private and public, what the great
Augustine said is true.
Lord, Thou hast made us for Thyseif. and
Our hearts are restless until they rest in
Thee.
There Is a sense of repose, of mental
serenity that issues from communion
with God. That a regular and unfail-
ing practice of prayer has its effect
upon the whole course of our lives is
demonstrably true. Apart from its stab
ilizing influence, 1t refines and illumin-
ateS those who indulge in it. 1t was
sad concerning the great Master that,
"as he prayed the fashion of His coun-
tenanCe was altered" Throughout the
momentouS years of His life He re-
peatedly sought the silences. separated
Himself from His fellows that He might
without interruption indulge in medita-
tion and prayer.
Before He entered upon His great
service He passed into the wilderness,
there to contemplate the mighty task
to which He was committed. Shall we
not believe that in these periods of de-
tachment He saw with clearer vision
the course that lay before Him2
Quite apart from the private devo-
tions in which we indulge there is @

promotions or transfers within the Dis
trict Building that would permit Of the
desired centralization of authority over
certain Offices without the necessity for
increasing the pay roll. These things
are not known now, as there has been
great secrecy in connection with the
proposed reorganization that has given
it an enticing air of mystery, with re-
sultant starting Of number Of rumors.
This would not have been the case II
the plan had been frankly and freely
discussed at the outset.
But it is one thing to make reorgani-
zations and promotions, utilizing avail
able personnel, ard 1t Is another thing
to make a reorganization in order to
create a new job to be filled by another
executive, the idea of the new execu-
tive being to relieve some other execu-
tive of too much detail. There was no
executive ever born who did not feel the
need of being relieved of detail by an
assistant, and no assistant ever born who
did not feel the need of being relieved
Of detail by an assistant to the as
Sistant. Under existing circumstances,
1t might be as well to save the salary
Of new assistant to an Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner, or consider the
number Of clerks or subofticisls or even
per diem employees who might, by ex-
penditure OF the same amount OF money,
be given employment.
The Engineer Commissioner Is busy
man. In addition to the general super
vision Of the Engineer Department, he
is chairman of the Zoning Commission,
member OF the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, member Of
the Public Utilities Commission. He
Is provided with three Army officer as
sistants, usually of the rank of major,
sometimes, as at present, two majors
and a captain. The three assistants
divide among them the duties Of execu-
tive officer of the zoning Commission,
member OF the Co-ordinating Board of
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, negotiations and purchas-
ing officer for land. The four officers
supervise the work of seventeen d.
visions, boards, committees or offices In
the Engineer Department.
Since last June the post Of Engineer
Commissioner has been filled by Maj
Donald A. Dawson, due to the pro-
longed and unfortunate illness of the
Engineer Commissioner, Maj. Gotwals.
For the last seven months the Assistant
Engineer Commissioners have been
forced to work at top speed to take care
of the extra duties imposed by the ab-
sence Of Maj. Gotwak.
But Is this condition permanent or
temporary? Does it indicate the need
for another executive assistant, or does
it emphasize the necessity of keeping the
Army posts at the District always filled?
As long as the key positions in the
Engineer Department have been placed
under officers OF the Army, Is it not in
cumbent upon the authorities to see
that they are available for duty?

The triumph OF air transportation
has nowhere been more fully exempli-
! red than in the air lines operating be-
| tween Europe and the Orient and those
operated locally in the Eastern nations
AS yet no air communication exist be-
tween the North American continent
| and the East, but Col. Charles Lind
bergh brought back data from his ex-
| ploration of the air lanes over the Pa
| cific which may point the way to 8
permanent establishment.
At present the lines operating on
regular schedules between European
airports and the Far East cover "a
492 miles. The lines operating locally
in the Orient add another 24931 miles
a total mileage only flight short oi
$4,000 miles, or twice the distance
around the earth at the equator.
Early in the Christian era Oriental
traders and adventures sailed their
iunks to Persian and Red Sea ports
and then proceed overland to Eu-
rope. But the voyage required at least
a year each way and very many never
returned. Later Marco Polo, the We
netian, made the journey overland, but
1t took him nearly lifetime to go and
return. Trade with the East was
opened by Tamerlane, whose boast 1t
was that such excellent order was
maintained that rich man might
travel alone, unarmed and unmolested
! over the great trade route.
These Journeys were always measured
in months or in years. While possibly
they enlivened trade, most of the time
Journeys were not possible, owing to
disorders-piracy at sea and bandiGry
on land.
The era OF the sailing ships dawned,
but the journey still was long one.
Many weeks were counted out from
England, around the Cape of Good
Hope, across the Indian Ocean and up
the China Sea. The feet clippers which
sailed out of New York and Boston
beat all other sailing records and cap
tured much trade, but still, when a YES
sci set sail, about half q year was ex-
pected to elapsc before 1t was raised
again.
Even with the advent of steamships
and the digging of the Suez Canal the
East remained remote.
Long Time Element.
Yet with all the riches the East had to
offer and all the adventurousness which
Europe and America possessed to ex-
ploit those riches, it was inevitable that
a tremendous trade should rise. It did
so and has fiourished ever since, but
always there was that long time ele-
ment involved-the long distance to be
traversed. Cathay has always been a
symbol for remoteness.
To an amazing extent the establish
ment of these $4,000 miles of airlines
has altered this. The varied interests
of Europe and the Orient are served
with precision and rapidity, which null
tiplies the annual turnover. Chief at
tention is given to the mail. Rapid COM
munication permits the giving of de-
tailed orders and instructions. Actual
shipments of bulk goods may be started

Unwarranted Curb Privileges.

DELLWOOD WILL JOIN
 ALASKA SALMON FLEET

Alaska's famous cableship Dell wood, which recently was retired from service, was sold by the Ship ping Board to P. E. Harris & Co.,, salmon packers of Seattle. She will be converted into an Alaskan cannery ship.
 The vessel was purchased for the Seattle firm by J. E. Barnes of Washington, D. C., who on Septem- Der 16, submitted a bid of $2O,OOO for the Dellwood. It was the only tender for the ship received by the Shipping Board.
 The vessel is now idle in Lake Union. She will join the Seattle Alaska salmon fleet next spring.
 The DellWood was retired as a cableship following completion of the wireless system which now connects Seattle with nearly every part of Alaska. .5
