A YOUNG BUT PROSPEROUS PARISH tiful both in finish and design. The accom- panying sketch, prepared by the architect of the church, Mr. T. P. Chandler of Phil- adelphia, gives a good idea of the exterior appearance of the edifice, although it is the intention of the architect to make the steeple somewhat higher, and other minor changes may be made. The ceiling of the church will be spanned with massive oak timbers, giving a fine effect, while the num- erous arches will tend to heighten the Gothic and rich appearance. Although the name of the church is St. Thomas’, the parish goes by the name of Calvary parish, as it was named when first set aside. A request to change the name of the parish to correspond with the name of the church will come before the coming convention of the Protestant S perege of Church of the diocese of Maryland, to be held in Baltimore the latter part of May, and will no doubt be granted. Just when the new church will be completed is an open question, resting largely on the con- dition of the finances. The church could be made ready for the use of the congre- gation within a year, but it will probably be two years before it is finished. Work, according to the present plans, will go on only so fast as the money flows in. The church ,has done remarkably well, it is thought, in raising $18,000, In addition to The Remarkable Record of a Few Biief Years. BRIGHT WITH PROMISE oo os A notable addition to the number of hand- some church buildings in this elty will be the new edifice of St. Thomas’ P. E. Church, which is now in course of-erection, It is situated at the corner of 18th and Madison streets northwest, near by and just cast of) Dupont Circle, in one of the finest sections | of the city, and in a neighborhocd where there is a pressing need for a church of that denomination. Both the parish and church are young. The new edifice was commenced but hardly had the foundations been laid and the walls started when win- » however, it paying for the chapel and its furnishings, the last twelve months or so. although all within The church, in a fashionable aD new church are rising rapidly. The history of Calvary parish Is as brief as its rise has been papid. For several years back, the increasing growth of the| population in the northwest supplicd one of the conditions creating a demand for a| church of the Protestant Episcopal faith in| that neighborhood, so that on May 28, the Calvary parish was established by diocesan authorities. ‘The territory con prised within the limits of the r Was taken partly from the pa { John's and partly from St. Andrew's parish, | and includes the portion of the city in the neighborhood of the church.

B. Tyler Tells a Society Something About the Bible, Says the Book is Indispensable to All Classes—Prosperous Condition of the Local Society. “There is no book like the Bible,” once said Charles A. Dana, before an assem- blage of students of Union College, while speaking of the books they should read in preparing for the profession of journal- ism. This utterance was repeated last evening at Calvary Baptist Church by the Rev. Dr. B. B. Tyler, pastor of the Church of the Disciples, New York, at the sixty- sixth annual meeting of the Washington City Bible Society. The church was well filled, and the members and friends of the society were treated to one of the most interesting discourses that has ever been delivered in this city. The meeting was opened by the rendition of appropriate music by the choir of the church. Dr. Pitzer, in introducing the speaker of the evening, said that the society is not @ mendicant by any means, but an emi- nently respectable institution, having en- joyed remarkable success for sixty-six years. A society that has done the work of this, he thought, should receive the sup- port of the people. Since the suggestion three years ago by the American Bible Society to furnish every child between the ages of eight and sixteen years with a copy of the Bible, the Washington society has distributed 11,500 copies of the Scriptures, =~ have been paid for, even to the last cent. At the annual meeting of the American Society in New York it was said on all sides that the Washington Society is the benner organization of the country. Dr. Pitzer spoke of the legacies that have been. given to the society, which he called the safest investment that a Christian could wake. Every time a man gives to the Bible Scciety he gives to the whole work of evangelizing the entire world. He then presented Dr, Tyler as a leading element in the Christian Endeavor organization and a member of the International Board on Sun- day School Lessons. An Indispensable Book. Dr. Tyler said that of all his functions there was none of which he is so proud as that of a member of the board of directors of the American Bible Society. He said he wanted to pomt out a few features to de- n onstrate the unique character of the Bible, anc then he alluded to Mr. Dana's words, when he praised the sacred book as the best for any man to read in preperation for any walk of life. “Some books are absolutely indispensable to the journalist,” the great editor had said, “‘but of all the most useful, the most indispensable and the most effec- tive is the Bible.” Dr. Tyler spoke of the ambition of Editor Stead of the Review of Reviews, who said that the more nearly he could make his journal approach the liter- Pure A cream of tartar baking pow- der.

A Good Showing Made — When Col- lector Manogue Will Take Charge —Other teresting Items. ‘The Georgetown branch of the Associated Charities met last night to close the sea- son's good work. It was shown that since January 1 the central relief committee had contributed to the paying of the George- town charity bills to the extent of $680.70, and had on its hands still to be paid bills amounting to over $10. This will about exhaust the total amount collected west of Rock creek during the wholesale canvass of the District several months ago, Dur- ing the two months of the society's season prior to January 1 there was paid from the local treasury nearly $3), The associa- tion has on hand to begin the next season’ work with $307.85, less $25 or $30, which Mr. B.
