gins to 1914. In July that year

persons. BY September, 1914, the
group had crystallized sufficiently
to hold meetings in Montgomery
Blair High School. Church serv-
ices were held in the gymnasium
while Sunday School classes were
conducted in the locker rooms
and claSSroomS.
The congregation was officially
organized as Silver Spring Con-
gregational Church in December,
1914, with II charter members.
1t now has a membership Of more
than TOO. and a church school
enrolment of nearly 900 students.
The name was changed when the
members moved into the present
church.

Rev. Marian K. Tate as director
of religious education, who con-
tinues to serve in that capacity.

Public Prayers
By Bruce Borton

With one or two exceptions the worst
features of the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions, in my opinion, were
the opening prayers.
The committees on arrangements do
not schedule these prayers from any deep
sense of religious devotion. Far from 1t.
The purpose is votes. The Jewish vote
is represented by rabbi: the Catholic
vote by a priest; the Protestant vote
by two preachers, one white, one black.
In the years of my attendance at
conventions the prayers have deteri-
Grated in three respects:
The petitioner used to pretend, at
least, to close his eyes. He does not
now, nor do any considerable number
of his listeners.
He does not pretend to be speaking
from the heart. He produces manu-
script
And the prayers grow longer and
longer. They are, in fact not prayers,
but speeches. They talk of the great
ness of our country; they undertake
to discuss world problems; they wander
wide in the fields of geography. eco
nomics and politics.
never knowingly would say or write
anything that could be construed as
criticizing the church or hurting re-
ligion. But I claim that these public
prayers are not religious; they are not
Christian. And my authority is the sixth
chapter of Saint Matthew. Therein
Jesus set forth the specifications for
truly Christian prayer:
It must never be public perform
ance "And when thou prayest, thou
shalt not be as the hypocrites are: For
they love to pray standing 4. in the
corners of the street, that they may
be seen of men But thou, when
thou prayest. enter into thy closet, and
when thou hast shut the door, pray
to thy Father, which is in secret. and
thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall
reward thee openly"
It must never be long. when We
pray. use not vain repetitions, as the
heather do: For they think they shall
be heard for their much speaking.
BE not We therefore like unto them;
for your Father knoweth what things
ye have need Of. before We ask him"
humbly petition the committees on
arrangements for the next conventions
to copy out verses S-13 from the sixth
chapter of Matthew. and attach them
to the invitations to the chosen pastors,
priests and rabbis. Better yet. why not
ask the delegates to stand and bow
their heads in silent prayer? Jesus whole
life was q silent prayer. There is no
record that He ever prayed In public.

the universal symbols of the religion

Tight museums Of old armor. But,
Locind as even the benighted Chi
nese ladies are letting out
their feet, it is perhaps not vain to
hope that wise Caucasian women may
give their waists fair play. The corset
is being modified. Its rigidity is not as
Suffocating as it was; it's austerity is not
as cruel as it used to be. We have the
word of Fashion for it. One of the cor
settlers at the convention of the National
DreSSmakerS' Association delivered her
self of this encouraging speech: Cranks
can't kick about tight lacing any more.
Women don't want to lace tight now.
because a natural waist-what would
have been called large waist two years
ago-iS the proper thing. The corsetS
are cut lower and allow the lungs full
play. Instead of being instruments Of
torture like the old high-front affairs,
they have hygienic value This is an
agreeable statement tn men who have
pitied the pinched victim of crushing
stays-the lady with the wasp waist.
There was pne note sounded in the con-
vention which jars upon the ears of
those who hope that women. for the
sake Of themselves and their children,
will be reasonable in the tension OF the
stays. The discordant note was sounded
by a delegate who said: There is moth
ing that q woman won't do to get
figure, and she can have one If she will
just take the trouble to select the right
corset. What price is too great for q
fgure?'"
