Thou art worthy, o Lord, to re-
ceive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure they are and
were created" These words of the
Revelator are the Golden Text in
the Lesson Sermon on God the
only Cause and Creator" on Sun

A Scriptual selection presents
these words of David, from I
Chronicles: Thine, o LORD, is
the greatness, and the power, and
the glory, and the victory, and the
majesty: for all that is in the
heaven and in the earth is thine;
thine is the kingdom, o LORD, and
thou art exalted as head above all.
Both riches and honour come of
thee, and thou reignest over all;
and in thine hand is power and
might; and in thine hand it is to
make great, and to give strength
unto all. Now therefore, our God.
we thank thee, and praise thy glo-

In one of the passages from sci

AUTO-RA|L LINE
ROUTE IS SOUGHT
Application Renewed for
Continuing Service of
Virginia Railroad.

The Arlington IL Fairfax Auto Rail-
road Co. today formally renewed its
application to the District Public
Utilities Commission for designation
Of a route over which to run its auto
rail cars into Washington from Vir-
ginia.
The company asked immediate ac-
ton on its application, filed last Sep
tember, which the Utilities Commits
sion had refused to consider until the
Interstate Commerce Commission
ruled on the proposed extension Of
service.
The I. c. c. held recently that the
new operations would not require a
certificate OF convenience and neces-
sity under section l Q8 of the In
terstate Commerce Act. which governs
the extension OF railway lines, the
company's petition pointed out.
Franklin K. Lane local attorney and
president OF the company. expressed
the belief the section OF the act con-
corning motor carriers would not give
the I. c. C. jurisdiction in the case
because the company considered the
proposed operations merely extension
Of its railway terminal facilities and
not new bus service.
The company now operates its auto
rail cars between Rosslyn, Va, and
Fairfax and Green Valley, Va.
1t is seeking the right to run the
cars from Rosslyn into Washington
over Key Bridge and to a point near
the Archives Building on Constitution
avenue, SO as to be able to offer
through service into the District to its
Virginia customers. No traffic would
be handled between points within the
District.
Mr.. Lane said proposed schedule
OF rates for the extended service was
filed with the I. c. c. last Friday, and
service will start next month if the
route is granted by the Public Utilities
Commission.
