BY CASPAR NAMES.

A visitor from London walking at
Sixteenth and Harvard streets NV.
might well rub his eyes as he looks
at All Souls Unitarian Church.
Modelled after st. Martin the
Fields, in Trafalgar Square, the local
ediflce has the same high stone
pillars at the entrance, the same
headpiece above them coming to a
point, the same spire and the same
shaped clock in it. Only few minor
details distinguish the American
church from its English original.
The interior Court of Founders"
is in the center of the building. It's
squarish shape is cut into four parts
by two reddish Harvard brick walks
crossing each other, and four small
plots of green give a tranquil cam
pus touch to the spot.
| All Souls is the successor of the
First Unitarian Church, organized
in Washington in November, 1921.
The original group first met in a
room on C between Fourth and
Sixth streets NV. The church soon
built place at Sixth and D streets
NV, where it stayed until 1877,
when the edifice at Fourteenth and
L streets NV. was erected. It was
at this time that its name was
changed to All Souls Church.
Prominent ministers and national
figures have been a part of the his
tory OF the church. The late Rev.
Ulysses G. B. Pierce, for AZ years
minister, is the best known of the
former. A scholarly man who
preached vigorous sermon the day
OF his death, DR.. Pierce was the
driving force behind the movement
to erect the present building. It's
completion in 1924 was signalized
by the naming of one part of the
structure Pierce Hail.
Edward Everett Hale, author of
THE Man Without Country" and
other famous stories, was a close
friend of DR.. Pierce. On his retire.
ment from his post at Boston, Hale
came to Washington for extended
stays and attended the church here.
Mr.. Hale was offered the pulpit of
the First Church in 1874, but de-
clined. More than a half century
later he spoke from the pulpit as q
guest preacher. DIR. Pierce's COM
pilation, THE Soul of the Bible" is
dedicated to him.
Presidents John Quincy Adams
and Millard Fillmore attended First
Church, and William H. Taft was a
member OF All Souls. AS Chief JUS
tlce, Taft came regularly, entering
the church by the back door and
taking a seat on the side so his
presence would not cause undue ex-
cltement. Many members of Con-
gress and of the Supreme Court
have been connected with the
church, and the historian George
Bancroft attended services at both
the old and the new buildings.
The present life of the church is
1uIl with unique activities. Pierce
Hall has moving pictures on Sunday
nights and foreign language talking
films Saturday nights. Before the
war, the Pierce Hall Players pre-
sented amateur theatricals at fire.
