A CHURCH GATHERING The Episcopal Convocation in Ses- sion Today. BISHOP PARET’S CHARGE He Commends the Roman Catholic Method of Reaching the Children—Advice to Epis- copal Clergymen—Reports Received and Considered at the Meeting at St. Alban’s Chareh, es The Washington convocation of the Protest- | f ‘ant Episcopal Church met today at St. Alban’s Church, near Tenleytown. ‘There was a goodly attendance of the clergy and of lay delegates. There was a large gathering of spectators, com- posed in large part of ladies. The altar was embowered in flowers and everything wore an air of dignity and repove. ‘The convocation opened with the reading of the Epistle and Gospel and holy communion, with Archdeacon Williams as celebrant. At the conclusion of the service Bishop Paret was introduced by Archdeacon Williams, and the business meeting was convened. BISHOP PARET'S CHARGE. Bishop Paret read the usual charge. It deult entirely with the subject of pastoral at- tention to the spiritual growth of children, He said that be had already read the same charge at two other convocations, but he thought that a repetition of it would not unly emphasize ite effect, but show his personal earnestness in tho ‘matter. Ho drew o striking parallel between the methods of enlisting the love and attention of the chil- dren employed by the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Episcopal Church, to the disadvantage of the latter." He regretted the shoricomings of his own church in the matter. He noticed some awakening of interest in the young, and this encouraged him, but did not satisfy him. No other community of Christians bad so lofty an ideal for children aa had the Episco He was cognizant, he said, of the faults and errors of the Roman Catholic Church, but he nevertheless admired their manner of training their young. Their schools, asy- lums and methods of study and instri were worthy of emulation. great power of the Church of Rome could best be accounted for by the stroug spiritual hold which they took upon their chii- dren, such a hold as the Episcopal Church did not seem to get. “Our Sunday schools,” id the bishop, “do not appronch the Catho- standard ‘in points of interest and attendance. Our church does not seem to com- mune with the children. This condition of things, he said, in amild way, was largely the fault ‘of the pastors. Kectors should be present at the Sunday —_ schools, study the children and should especially remodel their methods of preaching so as to be intelligible and interesting to them. Not one Episcopal sermon out of one hundred, he de- clared, could be understood bya child. He did\not overdraw the picture. Get the chil- dren and you get the parents. Aid them in prayer. Wo exhort them in prayer. he raid, while the Church of Rome teaches them tu pray. OPENING BUSINESS. At the conclusion of the charge, Bishop Paret left to fill an engagement in the diocese, the responsibilities of presiding ofticer. Following came the roll call of the clergy and the call of the lay delegates. ‘The reading of the minutes of the previous convocation held at Saint John's, Washington, were read and, after amendment and correction, were ap- proved. The committee on “raison d'etre” of mis- sionary convocations under canon ix of the diocese, appointed at the last convocation, pre- sented its report, which was accepted. The second report submitted was from the committee of four appointed to raise $5,000 for immediate use at Le Droit Park. This was considered in the main as sa ory and was adopted. The report set forth that the winter had much impeded the work. ‘The third report rendered was by the com- mittee of four to consider in what manner the B. L. fund may be legally held, &2. This was discussed at some length. The reports of the treasurer, the standing committee W. C.C. BL. FP. and of the deacon W. C. were rendered and accepted after considerable exchange of opinions and sug- Restions, Miscellaneous business came next, and this was followed by unfinished business, Rev. Mr. McKim sent his regrets at being un- able to attend because of a marriage anda funeral in his flock. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. This afternoon several essays on pertinent cherch topics were pretented, and these will be followed by un election of archdeacon, secre- tary and treasurer. Competition for the offices is not feverish and it is probable that the pres- ent officers may be re-elected. THE MEMDERS PRESENT. The roll call for the clergy was as follow Rt. Rev. Wm.

DISTRICT AFFAIRS.| A New Site Favored for the Con-| tagion Hospital. THE OBSERVATORY GROUNDS. Proposals Received Today for a schoo! | House Site—Jewelers Who Buy Old Gold Classed as Junk Dealers — Other Matters of Interest. —-___ ‘The Commissioners believe they have at last found a site for the contagious disease hospital, :|and unless the United States objects, the hospital will be erected on the grounds | of the old Naval Observatory, which is designated on the mapas Reservation No. 4, and | situated between 234 and 25th streets south- west, E and the river front. Yesterday after- noon the Commissioners made careful investi- fation of the site and they were all unanimous in the opinion that it was by far the best loca- tion yet found. The ground is high and well shaded and more ivolated than any other loca- tion in the District. The Commissioners do not believe they will have any trouble in loca- ting the hospital, and the attorney has been directed to look into the matter from a legal standpoint at his earliest convenience. The law relating to the purchase of the site gives the Commissioners authority to locate it on any government reservation or District Property that is suitable, and upon this the Commissioners have acted. A number of propositions were submitted to the Commis- sioners today for the purchase of sites in dif- ferent of the city, but they were all sent to the files, and thie is ‘significant action that the observatory grounds is the one that will be selected as the site. A NEW SITR OFFERED. Mr. Robert E. Morris has offered, for Messrs. Joseph and Edwin Forrest, a tract of land com- Prising nineteen andabalf acres at the ter- minus of the Hickey road for a contagious dis- eaco hospital. ‘The price asked is #10,000, and if the lot is accepted a donation of €500 will be made to the District toward the improvement of the Hickey road. The property is well ele- vated and in a sparsely settled neighborhood. PROPOSALS POR A SCHOOL SITE.

CLARSED AS JUNK DEALERS, Attorney Thomas holds in an opinion ren- dered today that manufacturing jewelers who buy old gold and silver should take out a junk dealer's license. The opinion was called forth by the report of Assessor Trimble upon the ap- plication of a — for an opinion upon the subject. Mr. OMAS BAYS: “I have examined this case, and while I think there is grave doubt whether the law was ever intended to apply to respectable jewelers who buy old gold or who take it in ex- change for guods, a view my predecessor seems to have taken in an opinion he gave the Commissioners April 6. 1898, still as the matter has since been brought to the attention of the Police Court, where it has been decided that a manufacturing | jeweler who buys old gold and silver is to be classed as a junk dealer, I regard the decision of the Police Court us judicial and binding in ite character. It is to be regarded as the law as far as the Commissioners are con- cerned, until reversed or overruled in some way. It would seem, therefore, that jewelers who buy old gold and silver, or exe goods for old gold or silver, are required to take out a Junk dealer's license, ‘The Commissioners have been notifixd by Attorney Thomas that they cannot file suits without prepayment of costs, Attorney Thomas has decided that the per- mission of owners of property within ninety Person ean get a feet must be obtained before a permit to locate a steam boiler. ‘The pastor of the North Presbyterian Church entered a protest yesterday against the grant- ing ot liquor licenses to Mesars. W. H. Zeh and Julius Viedt, jr. The dealers in question are wholesale dealers and sell liquor in connection with their grocery business. APPEALING FOR THE TREES, Prof. E. M. Gallaudet is a friend of the trees and today entered a vigorous protest on behalf of the directors, officers and students of the Columbia. Ifistitution for the Deaf and Dumb against the change of the grade of M street be- tween Ist and 4th streets northeast, which would necessitate the destruction of the beauti- fal trees and the sidewaik along the square named. Not speaking of other considerations which might be urged ngainst the pro- pore change of grade, he says, it may truly siid that to all the residents of Kendall Green the destruction of the trees on M street would bea real calamity. M street is the great promenade to and from the inst tion and the grateful shade furniehed by the trees now adorning it has been a boon of con: fort and health to hundreds of thankful pedes- trians. Ten years, he says, would not be suffi- cient to replace those trees, and ile their successors were growing great discomfort and no doubt actual physical injury would be experienced by very many He sit cerely hopes that the Commissioners wili decide to keep the grade of M street as it is and to complete the paving of the squares from Ist street west to 2d street at an early day. MISCELLANEOUS, The property owners on 9th street southeast between East Capitol and south E have re- quested the Commissioners to include in their | estimates for street paving -for the next fiscal year the above named street. A petition pray- | ing for ‘the improvement of this street is | already on file in the Commissioners oftice, ‘The secretary of the Central Union Mission has requested the Commissioners to furnish a ublic electric light iv front of the mission } utiding. which is that recently occupied by the {| Post Office Department. ‘The attention of the Commissioners has been directed to the importance of paving the side- walk on L street between 6th and 7th streets northeast. There is nothing but an old board walk there and it is ina very bad condition. ‘The street is built up on both sides with first- cliss houses, The president of the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital has asked the Commis- sioners to put the sidewalk and roadway on both the Dstrect and Ohio avenue fronts of the building in proper condition, When sick or wounded are brought to the hospital over such cobblestones as surround the institution it is hard, he says, to determine how much injury is inflicted upon them.

THE COLUMBIA BAPTIST CONVENTION DISCUSSES TRE OLD FOLKS’ HOME TODAY AND TRIES TO FIND WHY IT 18 NoT BUILT — OFFICERS ELECTED YESTERDAY. The sessions of the Columbia Baptist general convention were continued at Mount Jezreel Church today, both morning and afternoon, Although there are forty-three colored Baptist churches in the District there were not half that many delegates presentin the church this morning when the exercises of the day were opened. The new president, Rev. W. . Howard, presided today, and the devotional exercises with which the work of the day was commenced were conducted by Rev. Mr. Champ, Rev. Mr. Williams and Rev. Mr. Seott. ‘The principal item of business up before the convention was the consideration of the subject of the Old Foiks’ Home. About a quarter of a century the idea of establishing in ‘this city a home for poor old colored People of the Baptist denomination, es bec ministers and their widows, wav started, H e years later # tract of ground was douated to the Baptist ministers for thie purpose by a generous white woman, a Mra Stoddard. That is the position in which matters bave been for years, and according to the speakers this morning nothing hus been done beyond passing resolutions on every possible Occasion setting 4orth the desirability of «uch an institution. The ball was started rolling at the meeting this morning by an addross from Rev. Sandy Alexander on the subject of the “Old Folks’ Home.” PATRIARCH OF THE CHURCH. ‘Mr, Alexander is generally knows among the colored people of the District.as the father of the Buptist Church, inasmuch as he is the oldest minister of the denomination here, having grown old in the service. He hus large number of summers, but his mfluence among his peopie has been on the in- crease all the time and bis word is ever a mighty power with them. He was the patriarch of the convention and his remarks were listened to with a great deal of attention, albeit bis hearers did not all agree with what he had to say. In fact there was con- siderable feeling shown abont this matter of establishing a home. Every one knew just where the blame should go for the dilatory way iu which the matter has been handled, but no one was willing personally to shoulder any of it. Mr. Alexander t the blame should ail go to the ministers of the city who have failed to interest themselves in the movement, and he made quite a speech, in which be. told bi what ‘ought to be done, fault with what hed not been He could speak with authority, for he came to Washington in the year 1831, when Gen. Jack- son was in the White House, and when there was only one Baptist meeting house in the Dis- trict, As he likes to put it. in those days a quart of wine was suficient to give com- munion to all the Baptists there were in Wash- ington. The only church then here stood at the corner of 19th and I streets and its pastor was Dr. Brown. ‘The colored people had a part of the gallery set apart for their ses, Dr. and Brown used to adi as “You colored People up there.” WANTS SOMETHING DoxE. In his speech this morning Rev. Mr. Alexander said tnat there were forty- three colored Baptist churches in the District and not a thing had been done for the interests of humanity, The white Baptiste were all the time asking them what they had done in the way of maintaining edc- cational and charitable institutions, and all they could do was to point to promises that they bad never kept. “There's altogether too much gessing and too much resoluting among you, and you don’t t toget and work and pay money. We ox ing resolutions. We ebureb organ.’ But we don’t get them because we don't do anything but talk about them. ‘The trouble fal with the min- isters. They are divided and this the churches apart, We talk about a wi of the matter before them, but I certainly shan‘t as long as we are chasing sbadows as we are do- ing now.

Let's do something and quit talking about doing it.” OTHER VIEWS, When Mr. Alexander got through with his fiery talk there were a dozen men on their foct ready to taik. Rev. Mr. Scott, who first got the floor, snid that, in bis opinion, the fault all lay ‘with the committee of the Old Folks” Home. In the past two years the President of the committce had not called a meeting and it was evident to him that they were sleeping and were not going to arise. He advocated putting meu on the com- mittee who would do some actual work. Sec- ondly, he blamed the trustees of the home more than he did the ministers, for he thought that if the matter was ever fairly and honestly put before them the laymen of the churches would raise all the money necessary quick enough. He did not like the location of the site given for the home, and advocated sémo scheme of getting the deed of gift changed #0 that they could secure another site with the Proceeds of the present. The matter was also discussed by Rev. W. B. Johnson, D. D., lev. A.S. Thomas and Rev. Mr. W. A. Creditt. NEW OFFICERS.
