PRESENT CALLED
TESTFOR CHURCH
Bishop Freeman breaches
to Open Diocesan
Convention.

Preaching at the Church Of the
Epiphany at the opening of the an
nual diocesan convention last evening,
the Right Rev James E. Freeman
Bishop of Washington. hailed the
present "age of confusion" as an op-
portunity for Christianity.
"A testing time he said, must
prove to be an undisguised blessing,
provided the church is prepared to
meet it with courage and undivided
faith"
Bishop Freeman, at the beginning
of the sermon. reviewed the growth
OF the work of the diocese and thanked
clergy and laity alike for the increas-
ing evidences of their love during the
past year"
New churches, chapels, parish houses
and rectories," he reported. have been
built and a finer condition of the
CHURCHES properties is registered than
the diocese has known throughout it's
entire history We record with
deeper satisfaction the evidences of
spiritual advance But, he con-
tlnued. we meet this year under cir
cumstances that compel us to give
heed to conditions that must be reck-
oned With--conditions that bear inti-
mately upon the church and the
Christian cause generally"
Difficulties, the bishop insisted.

through we'll wishing on the one hand
nor through the substitution of a
meager dole for an equitable and
earned wage on the other. Long con-
tinued poverty and idleness affect the
spiritual aspirations of men. hence
the church as an institution shares
vitality the misfortunes of the multi
tude.'
Bishop Freeman urged Christian
unity to meet the demands of the
world emergency.
The convention was in session at
Epiphany Church this morning and
will continue throughout the after
noon. A fellowship dinner is planned
for this evening More than 200 dele
gates are attending.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The most

This will be the first time since
1898 that two major planets have
come so close together Astronomers
say that without the aid of glasses
the pair will appear to be one star.
The time to begin watching the un-
usual approach is tomorrow night
The two stars then will be close
together, noticeably closer on the 9th,
and on the two nights after May 7
will separate at the same rate as their
approach. Venus is moving up from
the sun. Mars down toward the sun
Actually, in the heavens, they Will
be 80,000,000 miles apart. Mars will
pass, at that distance, almost directly
behind Venus.
Venus can be spotted easily just
after sunset. for it is now an ultra
bright evening star. not far overhead
from the place where the sun sets.
Mars is less conspicuous and is
recognizable by the slightly redeemed
color of his light.
