first to propose such an institution.

Since church and state had no Of

After Joseph Nourse's death, In
1841, a church school for boys was
built on part Of his property and
an upper room reserved as q chapel
in which the people of the neigh.
borhood were invited to worship.
A regular attendant was Miss
Phoebe, to whom her grandfather
had loved to speak of his dream.
Like Mary, she "pondered these
things in her heart" and into the
stitches of her beautiful sewing she
put faith that became works when
she left 40 gold dollars in a little
box "for the beginning of a fund
for free church at Mount Alban."
Miss Phoebes example of self-de-
nial was the incentive to effort in
the little community that resulted,
the year after her death, in the
turning of the first sod for a little
church. In 1855 st. Adams Parish
was consecrated-the first free
church in the District of Columbia.

The matter of site was still in

the newly created bishop and his ad-

Dorothy Dix Says
Consider Long Before Breaking
Up Home for Lure of Legacy.

Dear Miss Dix: My mother lives
on the West Coast Of the United
States and wants us to come out
there and look after her. She has
about $50, 900 and promises to leave
it to us If we will come. but my
husband hesitates about going be-
cause he has good Job where we
are and there is not much of his
kind Of work out there. He says
he will 60 If mother will put her
money in our name irrevocably,
but she refuses to do that. We
have been married IS years and
have both worked and done we'll.
Have q nice home. We do not want
to sacrifice what we have unless
we are sure of something out there.
Yet If We don't 60 mother will
think I don't care for her and
leave her money to some one else.
We have asked her to come and live
with us but she refuses. l can't
decide what to do. What is your
idea in the matter? PUZZLED
Answer-My advice to you is to
stay where you are. You are settled
in your own home, your husband Is
prospering you have your circle of
friends and acquaintances and,
above all, you are free and inde-
pendent. I think you would be
very foolish to throw all of this
away on the chance of some day
possibly inheriting some money
from woman who may, after all,
change her mind about leaving it
to you.
1t isn't even good financial prop
osition because your husbands SAL
ary gives you a much better income
than you will have if the three OF
you try to live on the interest of
your mothers $4,000. That's
scant support for three people. Now
your husand's job brings enough
to support you comfortably and you
can also save money.
You are standing on your own
feet. You have your own pride
and self-respect and the knowledge
that you are respected by others,
but it will be far different story
If your husband cannot find work
and will have to be dependent on
your mother.
Anyway, it is ill-waiting for dead
mems shoes, as the proverb says.
There Is nothing that Is more de-
grading and humiliating and that
does worse things to peoples souls
than to spend their lives flunkying
and flatterin1 old nennle waiting

Forty gold dollars is not as rule
a momentous discovery. But wher
this modest sum was found among
the effects of Miss Phoebe Nourse
the writing on the lid of the little
box in which it had been secreteo
contained a prophetic note. For the
beginning of fund for a free church
at Mount Alban," ran the message
Although a semi-invalid for some
time before her death in 1850 Phoebe
Nourse had earned the $40 through
the sale of exquisite needlework, the
labor of her own frail fingers. She
gathered the money, cent by cent
and saved it, telling no one of her
cherished purpose.
In the intervening years the little
pile of gold coins has multiplied
after the manner of miracles 1t has
grown to over $12,000.000 and its

Mount Alban" is coming to fulfill

Out of their share in this achieve

a sacred saga, adding chapter by
chapter to the initial effort of Phoebe
Nourse, whose 40 gold dollars formed
the National Cathedral's nucleus.
She was the granddaughter of Jo-
seph Nourse, first registrar of the
United States Treasury. His home
stood on height 400 feet above the
Capital in those days when it was
still "a city of magnificent dis
tances."
A dreamer like Joseph of old, this
man Nourse loved to mediate on
things of the spirit and his vision
was a great national church, stand
Ing In place of his home. Years
later Great Britain's beloved Am
bassador, James Bryce was to de-
scribe the ideal, exalted setting:
you look down upon the city, the
Capitol, the Library, State, War and
Navy Department, and the Post
Office and other high buildings
along Pennsylvania avenue, and
beyond them you see the great sill

soft lines fading away in dim out

view that reminds one of some
of those ample prospects over Rome
which the traveller is able to obtain
from st. Peter Montorio, on the
further side of the Tiber. -"
Rome, of course. was a far. far
country to Joseph Nourse, but in his
devout imagination the setting of
his home seemed to match Bede's
description of the hill upon which

SIX POINT BRIEF
ON FARM PROGRAM

The easiest way for farmers of
Washington County to understand
the basic provisions of the 1888
farm program, according to Coun-
ty Agent NJ. D. Moore. is to con-
slider the six points enumerated by
Secretary Wallace.
One-COntinuauce of the AAA
Soil Conservation Program and
establishment of its detectives as
a par1 OF permanent farm policy
represents a national investment
in soil fertility and insurance for
the Nation of future abundance
of food and fiber.
unconditional acreage allot-
ments are established at levels
designed to give production am
pie for domestic consumption ex-
ports and reserve supplies. and
payments are made to encourage
farmers to produce up to those
national allotments.
Three-Loan provisions in the
law encourage systematic storage
OF SURPRISES of big crop years for
use in years of shortage.
Four-Marketing quotas backed

by penalties on sales in excess of
the quotas can be used, subject
10 approval of a two-thirds vote
OF the producers voting, to secure
general participation of farmers
in a program designed to hold
surplus supplies off the market
until they are needed.

Quotas is provided to meet any
shortage that develops either on
the farm in the county, or in
case of national need.
Six-Crop insurance for wheat,
starting with the 1889 crop, will
give the wheat producers and the
bread supplies of the Nation bet
ter protection against drought.
Gradual accumulations of wheat
paid in by farmers as insurance
premiums will contribute major
part of the ever-normal granary
supplies for wheat.
