a new vestry was elected, Gen.
William Smallwood, of Revolution

chosen. Three years later 271
parishioners contributed 1872 pounds
Of money and $4,000 pounds OF to-

ber 1893. Fifty years later the
edifice was again renovated.
It was during the rectorship OF
the Rev. William Duncan that
Bishop Thomas John Claggett OF
Maryland consecrated the church,
September IL, 1909. 1t was also

The half century of Mr.. Prout's
pastorate were years of spiritual

In 1843 the church was again
renovated. The first organ, in 1868,
was placed in the gallery of the
church. Eight years later the
interior of the building was arranged
practically as it is today, with the
organ in the chancel.

greatest tragedies.
With less propaganda and preju-
dice and passion and partisansh1p
all around, and a frank, brave
facing of the factors In the case,
1t may be found that this Epistle
to the Hebrews holds the solution
to the ageless problem of the jew
ish people.
This letter to the Hebrews is
one of the great books of the New
Testament. Its canonicity has
never been questioned, although its
authorship is unknown. The early
church credited it to Paul. There
are internal reasons for question
ing this. Barnabas, Apollos, Luke.
John, and even a woman, Priscilla,
have been credited with the writ
ing of this, one of the profoundest
religious treatises ever penned.
1t was directed to the Hebrew
Christians in Palestine, who seem
to have slumped somewhat in their
zeal, confused by the claims Of the
ritualists. The cure for their laxity,
explains the author Of the letter, is
the exaltation of Christi, who is
shown as the fulfillment of the Old
Testament law. In this book OF
reconciliation, Jesus is presented as
the one and only reconciler. He
brews is a Christ-centered volume.
This zeal for an acceptance Of
Jesus as the cure for a backslid-
ing Hebrew Christian church has
direct relationship to a mood OF
our own time. Many well-inten-
toned Christians are making a
god of tolerance. They fly the flag
OF the equality Of all faiths. Gone
from their program is zeal for
winning Jews, Moslems and pagan
faiths to Jesus Christ; they seek
only to march in step with them
under massed flags.
Now every sincere and intelligent
Christian believes in and practices
tolerance. He would love men in
to the Kingdom. Nevertheless he
flies the Cross flag Of Jesus Christ.
The most real Christian service he
can render his generation is to win
his erring brother into the Chris
tian fellowship, wherein Jesus Is
all in all. Nobody can read this
letter to the Hebrews without ca
curing a new sense Of the para
mountcy of Jesus, the Christ. mo

Many Do Not Apply
for Terminal Leave Pay

A letter calling attention to the
large percentage of World War II
veterans, eligible for enlisted mems

apply for the benefits which are due
them, was received by Edward P.
kahl, adjutant of the local American
Legion post, from L. S. Senator Her
bert r. O'Conor
Mr.. O'Conor pointed out that mas
much as September is the final date
on which such claims can be perfected,
there would undoubtedly be many who
would miss out on the benefits unless
it was brought to their attention.
He emphasized that this pay for
unused leave was "rightful addition
to their service compensation, and as
such, should be awaited of without
hesitaton.'
Mr.. kahl said he planned to present
the letter to the Legionnaircs at their
regular meeting on Monday.
