years. In addition to his tennis
activities he was also interested
in sandlot baseball and often
played with Baltimore teams here
in Washington.
Wagner was elected president Of
the Maryland golf group last Jan.

went up ablazin' late last winter,
among other things that were de-
molished by the hot flames was
the S. G. Loeffler Trophy, the
CUB symbolic of proves on the
public links in championship play.
When it came around to deal
out the prize possession to the
winner of the event this year, 10
and behold, the trophy was miss
ing.
Then someone remembered that
the trophy decorated a quiet niche
in the Rock Greek clubhouse, and
then someone else remembered
that the particular niche was laid
low by fire last February, and
that the presentation OF the
trophy would have to be post
poned until some later date, when
arrangements could be made TO
purchase a new mug.
-Four names we're engraved on
this trophy when it melted into
the ashes of the club house. They
were Harlan i'll, 1888; John Con-
molly. 1884; Claude Rippy, 1885;
and Claude Rippy, 1886.
Will, following his victory IN
the public links tourney here,
failed to show any form in the
national event, but returned to
Washington to play some excep-
tionally fine golf. His success on
the courses about town, plus a
Job as a professional prompted
him to turn pro. He is now To-
Gated at a course at Scranton, Pa.
John Connolly, who thought
himself a crooner of some repute,
earned his daily bread as copy
boy on several Washington news
papers. He won the golf cham
pionship and the right to have
mis- name engraved on the cup in
1884. But like Will, John failed
in his mission of carrying off any
honors in the national event. In
fact, he failed even to qualify for
match play. John has disappeared
from the local golfing scene,
although he is reported to be eat
ing three square meals day. To
win the District public links title,
he defeated the up-and-coming
Claude Rippy for the title by a
single stroke.
In 1885 Rippy barged through
to an easy win for the trophy and
turned in a fair-to.middlin' job in
the national championship at In
dianapolis where he advanced to
the quarter-finals before caving in.
Last year, 1886. Rippy dupli-
Gated his performance of winning
the title and at the same time
clinched possession of the highly
coveted trophy, which he permit
ted to remain in the particular
niche at Rock Greek Park club
house until it was swallowed up
by the flames of last February.
With the winning of the title
last year, Claude Rlppy journeyed
to Farmingdale, Long Island,
where he performed in brilliant
fashion to be co-medalist and run
ner-up for the individual national
title.
This year Rippy wins again and
his name leads a new list to be
engraved on a brand.new S. G..
Loeffler Trophy.
Thus it will be when Rippy re-
ceives his cup award for 1887 Ito
be held for one year, he will also
receive a replica of the one which
was demolished by flames.
It is believed though that Rippy
will be custodian from now on of
the new cup, as Number Five is
just around the block from
where he lives.

the leader have mentioned is idealism
Nobody can lead unless he has the gift
OF vision and the desire in his soul to
leave things in the world little better
than he found them. He will strive for
something which may appear unattain-
able, but which he believes in his heart
can one day be reached, If not by him,
by his successors, If he can help to pave
the way"
The hand that penned this noble
philosophic conviction is that of King
George VI, crowned in Westminster
Abbey on May IL last. At the moment
when the thought was phrased he did not
anticipate the throne. He merely put
into language the teaching and the
experience he had known. But he
spoke the doctrine of the democratic
concept of responsibility.

''THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES FREEMAN D. D, D. D. C. L,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

Holiness means wholeness, life SYM
retr1cally developed Such life must
be beautiful, using that term In its
best sense. 1t applies to men as to
women. There is nothing weak about
life made whole and strong, whole
and strong on every count, physical,
mental and spiritual. Such a life has
all the elements that constitute beauty.
The Greeks stressed the physical and
the intellectual; to attain any degree
OF excellence man must be possessed OF
strong. well-developed body and a
trained mind. So far as this goes it is
excellent. 1t Is legitimate quest and
one that brings lasting satisfaction. We
can imagine race OF men strong phys
ically and alert mentally. a race capable
OF great accomplishments. but we can
not think OF 1t as attaining high moral
and spiritual ends. Neither physical nor
intellectual development by and Of IT.
self gives any assurance OF moral ex-
cellence.
Wholeness of life contemplates the
recognition Of those things that con-
tribute to character, and this means the
adornment and enrichment of life
through the acceptance and practice Of
deep moral and spiritual principles. Re-
ligion is more than the acceptance of
creed or formula, it is more than Wor-
ship, essential as these are. 1t is the
practice of a way of life that leads
to the stabilizing OF those qualities We
call moral and spiritual that issue in
Christian character. 1t means recog
nizing the Godlike in our nature and
giving it an opportunity for expression.
It was said of Jesus that He knew
what was in man." and, knowing this,
He sought to make man see his divine
potentialities and the possibilities of
their highest development. To attain
wholeness or holiness OF life meant to
secure that which lent to 1t beauty,
symmetry, satisfaction.
We have come to think Of holiness as
associated with a type of life far re-

moved from the world. 1t is an at
tribute that belongs to those who live
apart from the world. Doubtless there
are degrees of holiness, but 1t applies
IN broader sense to those who strive
to approximate those Christian virtues
which the Master taught as indispensa-
BILE to wholesome living-to Wilderness

have taught and practiced a habit of

Christ. He taught and lived life that
had In it both beauty and strength.
He never taught that the practice OF
religious habit meant to take from life
that which adorned and enriched it.
Repeatedly in the course of its his
tory the church has taken from its
devotional practice and from its wor-
ship everything that lent appeal and
beauty. It overcast religious practices
with that which was somber. uninviting
and forbidding. 1t has interpreted the
great truths OF the Christian religion
in such terms that it has repelled
rather than attracted. Our Puritan
ancestors had such conception OF re-
ligious faith and practice that, while
it was sternly consistent, it lacked those
elements that draw men irresistibly
Even the churches themselves have at
times been stripped of all that con-
tributed to the beauty Of holiness. Their
bare walls. with no touch of color to
adorn the house of worship, were
wrongly conceived to be fit places in
which men might worship God in spirit
and in truth. What a contrast these
meeting houses. so-called were to the
glowing world in which we live, where
nature is made rich and colorful, where
it speaks to us of God and Father
who has made everything beautiful in
His time" Color, form and symbol have
their legitimate place in the house
where men pray and worship Religion
serves its highest purpose where 1t ex-
presses itself through music. form and
sermon as the beauty of holiness.

Leaders,.

Leaders are necessary, it seems; but In
America 1t traditionally has been required
OF them that they should be representa-
tive of their followers. Self imposed
captains never have been willingly toler-
ated In the United States. The con-
science of the people is outraged by the
notion that any citizen should be per-
mttted to dictate to another. President
woodrow Wilson summarized the COM
mon instinct when he declared: Il do
not want anybody sitting behind ma
hogany desk playing Providence to me!'
But If. in the political and economic
emergency which currently prevails, the
masses are to surrender their inherited
right to speak only through delegates of
their own choosing. 1t may be helpful to
suggest what their leaders should be-
Consider these sentiments from an alien
source: "A leader must possess three
great qualities - personality, sympathy
and above all .idealism. The man who
wins the trust and confidence of his
fellowmen, so that they will follow him
anywhere, is the man who can combine
In himself these three virtues. I do not
think I need speak to you about per-
esonality; you all know what I mean by
that. OF sympathy, will say just this:
: Its keynote is personal contact and
understanding. If you want to lead. you
must be able to understand and share
the joys and troubles of those whom you
are trying to help. You must look at
things from their point OF view as well

Down on the Island.

President Roosevelt is down on Jeffer-
son Island fixing up his congressional
fences. According to all reports-the
island Is carefully guarded by United
States Marines against any would be
observers-the President is being his
usual efficient self at this kind of work.
The amazing thing about the island
performance is that it should have be-
come necessary for the Chief Executive
to take three days off from the White
House to conduct this personal campaign.
1t argues condition hitherto unprece-
dented in the Roosevelt administration,
where Congress has been expected to
step right up and sign on the dotted line.
The soft pedal is put by the President
on the idea of serious conferences with
the Democratic opponents of his court
bill and other parts of his program He
is not calling them down to the island
to talk turkey to them. In fact, he Gid
not extend the invitations at all. They
we're sent to the Democratic members
Of Congress by Senator Joe" Robinson
OF Arkansas, president of the jefferson
Island Democratic Club. When the
Democratic recalcitrantS appear the
President jokes with them and swaps
yarns. He is at his most charming best.
AS a matter of fact. it would be poor
tactics to open up on the court bill
opponents and those Democrats who be-
lieve that Congress could best serve the
country at this time by folding its tents
and leaving the Capital.
The President has as fellow guests on
the island for the three-day trip num-
ber of his key men, members of the
cabinet and Harry L. Hopkins, chief dis
penser of relief funds, to whom Congress
has just voted an additional sl,500000,-
600. James A. Farley, Postmaster Cen
eral and chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, hurried back from
Maine to take part in this jolliflcation.
Some of these gentlemen are past mas
ters at the art of political conciliation
and coordination.
The visitors to the island return sing
ing the praises of the President and the
entertainment accorded them. And most
of them return protesting vigorously that
not a serious word was said during their
stay-all was jollihcation. Well. many
a serious word is said in jest. 1t would
be surprising thing if the administra-
ton did not expect greater returns from
this three-day iamboree in Chesapeake
Bay than half hundred new members
Of the jefferson Island Club. Some Of
the more facetious have advanced the
idea that the whole party is merely
membership drive for the club.
The President on Jefferson Island is
really playing for big stakes, though he
does 1t with smile and a Jest. The
opposition to his court bill has check
mated the program Of the administration,
held 1t up for months. The restive spirit
among members of Congress- many Of
whom rarely, If ever, have a chance to
see and talk with the President, has been
on the increase. Here on the island is
. rare opportunity to meet and converse
with the Chief Executive ad lib; here Is
