first anniversary of Miss Nourse's
death. The church was conse-
Grated as st. Adams Episcopal
Church on May "a, 1855. The
month before, April 9, the Rev
Wentworth L. Childs, who came In
1858, was formally elected rector
Members of the first vestry were
Charles j. Nourse, James B. Nourse.
w. D. c. Murdock, Thomas Marshall
Robert c. Jones, Thomas A. Brooke,
A. Austin Smith and John B. Gibbs.
Mr.. Childs guided the church un-
til i'll health compelled his resigna-
ton in 1860. He was succeeded by
the Rev. William Christian. He be-
came rector April Z, 1861, five days
before the first gun was fired on
Fort Sumter. Despite the conflict
ing loyalties of the parish members,
the congregation worshiped together
in peace during the terrible war
years.
Only once was the church dis
turbed during the war. One morn
ing, a communicant records, the
altar was found pushed toward the
chancel rail. 1T was learned some
rough soldiers bent on plunder
thought the church silver was hid
den under the altar. They were
arrested and put under guard and
there was no further disturbance
Mr.. Christian was succeeded by
the Rev. John H. Chew in 1865. Mr..
Chew resigned in 1881 and was fol-
lowed by the Rev. Nelson Falls, who
served until 1895. He had to work
for the Government to earn sufti-
cient money to live properly.
In 1885 President Cleveland
bought a small summer estate near
st. Albans and called it Oak View
or Red Top" With that pur-
chase St. Adams Church suddenly
became the cynosure of Washing
ton interest, for Mrs. Cleveland and
her mother, Mrs. Emma c. Folsom,
became regular worshipers at the
Sunday morning services.
Mrs. Cleveland, friendly to. all
was especially kind to the little
motherless daughter of gardner

Jesus, was one of the first to be
aware of the dilemma. AS was her
habit when any difficult situation
arose in the Nazareth home, she
took it to Jesus. Mary did not know
what measures her Son would take,
but she had implicit faith in His
ability and helpfulness.
These six big jars were filled,
at the direction Of Jesus, "up to
the brim." There is never any
|skimpiness in the dealings of Jesus.
All the cups of mercy He bestows
are overfiowing cups. There would
be no lack Of wine during the rest
of the feast.
And the master of the feast called
the bridegroom and congratulated
him upon having saved the bes!
wine until the last.
Neither the master of ceremonies
nor the bridegroom knew whence
the wine had come. But the SER
wants knew. Those who work with
Christ best know His mind. Service
is sure road to knowledge. On
a later occasion Jesus said to His
close disciples, ITO you it is given
to know" The men and women who
are troubled by doubts are not those
who are busy in Christian work.

The savings had been inspired by
Miss Nourse hearing her grand
daughter express the hope, when
she was a little girl, that some day
there would be a church on Mount
Alban. Joseph Nourse, native OF
England who came to this country
as youth and fought in the Revo-
lutionary War, in 1873 bought farm
at Woodley lane and Tennallytown
road. He called the site Mount Al
ban" because its sloping hillside
reminded him Of descriptions Of the
hill where st. Alban was lnartyred
IN ancient Britain.
The Rev. Anthony Ten Brock
head of school at Mount AL
ban at the time, placed Miss
Nourse's gift on the altar in the
schools chapel and declared, God
willing, a church should one day
stand where she desired it to be,
forever free to all WHO wish to
worship in it."

The extension of the streetcar
line on Wisconsin avenue in 1901
was another factor making the
church no longer small country
one. During the same year the
building was enlarged, and the fol-
lowing year a larger organ replaced
the old pipe organ. Several years
earlier, in 1895, Washington had
become an independent diocese with
Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee as
the first Bishop of Washington.
The Rev. G. C. F. Bratenakl be-
came rector in 1897 and stayed until
1911. His wife, greatly beloved by
the congregation, died in 1912. Her
death inspired a lasting memorial
to her by the members preserving
"the church which had been so dear
to her and encasing it in stone" "
The present edifice, encasing the
old wooden church in stone, was fin
ished in 1924.
The Rev. Philip M Rhinelander
served as priest in charge from
1895 to 1886.

P-TAHears Discussion W School Problems

The discussion was tabled un- til the January meeting, when c. c. Caldwell, superintendent of schools in Anchorage, is ex- pected to add first-hand facts on advantages and disadvantages of w. E. Huntley reminded the group that this type of school does raise a major transporta- tion problem. MT. Smelling said an independent school district. The P-TA plans a potluck din ner for that evening.
 Ii was decided al Tuesdays
 meeting that inc P-TA will act
 as agent for magazine sub-
 scription sales in the Valley.
 Ii was suggested that a def
 mite drive be sponsored in the
 early spring in order to pro- mole this method of augment
 ing P-TA funds.
 The movie sponsored by the P-TA early this month returned a gross yield of $27O.70, Mrs. Charles Schaefer announced. One-third of that amount is the share of the Valley Theatre.
 Mrs. Lois Winegarner was ap- pointed as the P-TA representa- tive on the Valley Health Coun- cil.
 Mrs. Jack Cope and MT. Smelling were appointed as the P-TA committee in charge of purchasing candy for the Christ mas treat for Palmer schoolchil- dren.
 The evening ended with an informal musical program of Christmas songs and piano selec- tions played by the pupils of Mrs. Timothy Hennessey.

The pros and cons of large consolidated schools and small one-teacher units were informal ly discussed at last Tuesdays Parent Teacher Association meeting. The discussion arose as the group debated measures to alleviate the over-crowded con- ditions in the Palmer school.
 Carl Smelling. superintend-
 ent. referring 10 an incor-
 porated school district. said
 some thought had been given
 to a plan. which in inc future
 might lead 10 incorporation of
 inc Valley area as a school
 district.
 Under such a plan, Wasilla high school students would be brought to Palmer, with Wasilla retaining it's grade school pupils. Another school probably would be constructed in the Butte area, with the possibility of one or two more small units added in other outlying areas.
 Teachers were informally boiled, and while most spoke favorably of the better teacher pupil relationship found in the smaller school, the consensus of opinion was that the large con- solidated unit is more practical because of the greater advan- tages offered in social and extra curricular activities, as well as superior equipment and work materials.
 It was pointed out that such a plant probably would be cheap CT to operate in Alaska, although that the trend in the states with in the last 5 years has been away from one-teacher school.
