Gen. John F. Van Ness, who served
in Congress and later became Mayor
of Washington, gave most OF the
present property of the church to
the Rev. Peter Chackert (Czackert)
He stipulated that within a year
"a church out of brick or stone 10
feet in front and not less than 90
or 65 feet deep shall be built upon
it, and that divine services shall
be held in it regularly" The rest
OF the property was purchased later
by the Rev. Matthias Alig, the first
pastor.
Father Alig served as pastor from
December 16, 1845, to his death
June 9, 1882. Under his leadership
the parish and the first church were

For a time prior to the erection
Of the first church, the parishioners

Lord: and ye say we'll: for so I am.
II I then. the Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, ye ought to
wash one another's feet. For /
have given you an example, that
lye also should do as I have done
to you"
AS Jesus performed His menial
task for His shamed friends, Peter,
doubtless expressing the embarrass-
ment of the company, protested that
the Lord should never wash his
feet. When the Master gently re-
buked him, Peter reversed himself
and proposed that Jesus should
bathe also his hands and his head.
Peter was ever a man Of extremes
and extravagances. Like many OF
us, he would press the teachings OF
Jesus beyond their clear intent.
The sublime deed Of Jesus was
meant to teach the lesson Of hu-
mility and service
Into q single sentence, which
closes our lesson text, Jesus gath
cred up the deeper meaning of it
all for His church throughout the
ages:-"By this shall all men know
that We are My disciples, II ye have
love to one another"

March 8 is "Jesus Washes the

individual! National and international
Problems Inseparable from Local Welfare
One phase of the Russian prob
lem is puzzle to a great many
people. EX-sOldiers and others who
had chance to mingle with the
typical Russian common man
during the war almost invariably
report that he was friendly. curl
Gus about the United States and
other nations he had not seen, sick
to death of war and talk of more
war and eager to live at peace in
friendly war. On the other hand,
the ruling class in Russia exhibits
none of these characteristics. The
average high Soviet official is open
ly cOntemptuous of all countries
save his own, is about as nOn-cO-
operative as they come, and GER
tainly is not adverse to consider
ing the possibility of World War
III.
This difference in attitudes be-
tween the Russian masses and the
Russian leaders is not so curious
as it may seem at first glance
First of all, ninety-Odd per cent
of the Russian people have nothing
whatsoever to say about their gov
ernment and its foreign policy
and their desires are never cOnsld-

and its powers are literally unlim
tied. The names of some of its
most important members are vir-
tually unknown in this country
They are rarely mentioned in the
Soviet press, except in connection
with the discharge of official du
ties.
These are the men-and they
probably number only about fifteen
who decide Russian policy in all
its phases. Stain, OF course. is the
head of the group. with Molotov
second. Many Russian authorities
feel that MolotOv. will be Stain $
successor. But. whether he is or
not. the pOlitburO will remain in
control
1t can be stated categorically
that the Russian people know al
most nothing about what is going
on in the rest of the world. The
Soviet press is. and is meant TO
be, a governmental instrument. 1t
consists OF a few papers of enOr-
nous circulation. All articles OF
any Importance are ''inSpired"
that is, the party leadership tells
the writer's just what attitude they
will take. A great deal of space is
given to alleged news from the
United States. and practically all
of it is directly or indirectly un-
favorable. Special emphasis is
= placed on L. S. murders. riots
strikes, and internal disorders
Photos of such happenings are
featured. The whole idea is to give
the Russian people the idea tina
the United States is an embattleC
country. with a low standard 0
living. and with weak and vacil
lating government which may col
lapse at any time and be replaced
by a system akin to Communism
Editorial comment to this effec

This gives an idea of the tre
mendOus difficulties in the way O
appealing to the goodwill of tn
Russian people in working on
world problems. No one reall
knows whether the typical Rus
