This lesson follows the last one
by six months, and is a scene III
Christ's farewell program.
V. l. Jesus knowing that MS
hour was come that he should de-
part out of this world unto the
Father. having loved his own that
were in the world. he loved them
unto the end Jesus had hne
way of putting the fact of death-le
was his hour, just simply tlme
for departing, going home TO De
with his Father. This transition
was not so hard because he had
been prompted all his life by the
force Of love. a love that went 10
the limit. Love is like the force OF
gravity as it draws one to GOD ana
in the direction of doing his Will.
VS.. 8, 4. Jesus knowing that
the Father had given all things in
his hands, and that he came from
God. and goeth unto God, riseth
from supper and layeth aside ms
garments; and he took towel ana

himself with the Father, son with
heavenly inheritances, one VINO
could well ask humble service of his
followers; this occasion was one III

honor for themselves and he pro-
ceeded to teach them a lesson OF
humility by practical demonstra-
ton. Seeing that the usual custom

V. 6. $50 he cometh to Simon
Peter He saith unto him, Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?" So deep
ly impressed were the disciples with
what Jesus was doing that silence
prevailed until Peters turn came;
he was naturally outspoken and i'm
pulsively objected to his Lord hum
bling himself to such Low degree.
He had not yet learned how best to
serve God. There was lot Of pride
in his soul that had to be elimi-
mated.
VS.. 7, s. "Jesus answered and
said unto him; What I do thou
knowest not now; but thou shalt
understand hereafter. Peter saith
unto him, Thou shalt never wash
my feet. Jesus answered him, If |
was thee not, thou hast no part
with me-" The Christian religion is
a perpetual revelation; we know
not only in part but We always can
know enough to do Gods Will.
Peters refusal to submit to the viii
of the Lord would put him out of
disciple relationship and fellowship
1t was Peter especially who needed
the lesson of humility. Only by ad-
mitting that we need cleansing, and
by humbly allowing him to cleanse
us. are we brought into true fellow
ship with Christ.
Y. 9. "Simon Peter saith unto
him, Lord, not my feet only, but
also my hands and my head" In
these words there is still an express
sion of self-will in that he wanted
his way in having his hands and
head washed; evidently he had not
grasped the significance of Christ 5
act in washing his feet. Peter did
not comprehend the lesson of real
humility.
V. 10. "Jesus saith unto him,
He that is bathed needeth not save
to wash his feet, but is clean every
whit; and ye are clean, but not
ALL" The Greek word for battle
implies always, not the washing OF
a part of the body, but of the
whole; so it may we'll be interpret
ed as the regeneration of the soul.
/ The Greek word for wash means to
wash only a part of the body, and

FOREIGN
COMMISSION OPPOSES
D. U. v. TAX EXEMPTION

The Commissioners have written to
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee asking her to oppose
bill to exempt from taxation the
property of the Daughters of Union
Veterans of the Civil War in the Dis
trict.
The Commissioners pointed out that
similar special bills already have ex-
empted property valued at approxi-
mately $1G000O,O00 in the District.
I'm view of this fact" the Commits
sioners wrote, land for the additional
reason that special exemptions tend
to shift the burden from the few di-
rectly interested to the general pub
lie, the Commissioners have not here
tofore favored such special legisla-
ton. In view Of the present financial
situation and the large amount of
tax-exempt property, it is believed the
policy of opposing such acts providing
for such special exemptions should be
adhered to-"

PNEUMONIA FATAL
TOJOHN J.NOONAN
Movie and Hotel Pioneer
Notable for Low Car
Fare Victories.

John J. Noonan, who fought to
successful conclusion the long battle
to bring reduced street car fares to
District school children, died last night
at Providence Hospital Of bronchial
pneumonia. Mr.. Noonan. a pioneer
motion picture theater man here, had
been i'll about week.
Born in Xenia, Ohio, March 80.
1865, of sturdy Irish stock, Mr.. Noonan
inherited a hearty spirit of aggres-
siveness and determination that stood
him in good stead in many battle.
He began his career at 13, when he
got job in a railroad station res
taurant in his home town and worked
side by side with the late Tom Tag
gart, who became famous as a poll
tician and Democratic boss of In
diana.
Like Taggart, he later became in

Two Notable Battles.

Ninth street near the old Patent ONCE
Building.
Two Notable Battles.
It was through his utility interests,
however, that he won two Of his most
notable battles in washington. While
operating his hotel on Ninth street
Mr.. Noonan began to invest In shares
of the washington Railway & Electric
Co., at that time selling below par.
Later, when outside interests attempt
ed to purchase control, he organized
the minority stockholders into COM
pact group and forced certain changes
in street railway practices to keep
fares down. He won his battle, dis
posed Of his 1,500 shares at a profit
and washed his hands" of the COM
pany's fiscal affairs.
Probably through knowledge gained
in that battle he took up the fight,
first for free fares for school children
and then for reduced rates, the latter
of which became a fact a little more
:han two years ago. Mr.. Noonan had
retired from business at the time.
AS he took the field against the
traction company he explained that
when he sold his holdings II didn't
sell my rights as citizen. Because ]
am no longer a Stockholder should
| not prevent me as citizen from ad-
| vocating what I think is right and
just and human. I have had to dig all
my life and know what it Is to be
up against it."
Mr.. Noonan was in Europe when
informed by cable of developments
that made it possible to win the
lower fares for school children. He
Cancelled the remainder of his tour
and returned to Washington immedi-
ately. Because of his effective pres
entation of the case in behalf of the
children, that battle also became a
victory.
Special Recognition.
AS result, the House District Com
mittee voted him special recognition
and asked that a day be set aside
to pay him tribute Mr.. Noonan de-
clined the honor and asked that the
money such a ceremony might cost
be used to feed hungry children.
Mr.. Noonan in late years made hi.
home with his daughter. Mrs. Ray
mond Clendennin Miller, at $500 Con.
necticut avenue Besides his daugh.
ter, he is survived by his widow. Mrs
Alice Murray Noonan; two brothers

Pennsylvania avenue and opened a
lunch room. At about the same time,
he opened a motion picture theater
near Cabin John, the first movie house
to be established in the District. That
was back in the nickelodeon days and
Mr.. Noonan never gave up his fond
ness for that form of entertainment.
At the time of his death he still owned
the Little Theater on Ninth street,
although it had been leased and had
been dark for the past few years.
Mr.. Noonan had made his home in
Washington from the advent of the
Pennsylvania avenue restaurant, but
he did not confine his activities to
that field alone. His business connec-
tions widened along diversified lines,
extending into the realm of hotel
keeping and utility investments. For
many years he operated a hotel on
