A series of lectures on the Bible, under the auspices of the American Society of Religious Education, was inaugurated last evening by a lecture delivered by Rev. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin before # large and appre- ciative audience at the Foundry M. E. Church. The lecturer was introduced ty Representative Wilson of West Virginia, and his theme was “The Bible as a Final- ity.” The speaker said that the truths of the Bible are final. He said that the only eremy that the Bible need fear are those that are indifferent to it, and, hence, ignor- ant of it. The more widely the Bible is krown the more thoroughly will it replace the theories of men with its truth. He spoke of the object of the Bible, which is to reveal salvation. The next lecture in the course will be delivered by Bishop Hurst on Wednesday evening next at the Calvary Baptist Church. —_— > League of the Vested Choirs of the i District.

FIRE UNDERWRITERS DINE Pleasant Affair at the Arlington Last Night. - Speeches of a Serious and Hum>rous Charazcter—Some of Those Present and the Committees in Charge. The banquet hall of the Arlington Hotel was the scene last evening of the annual feast 6f the fire underwriters of the Dis- trict of Columbia. This yearly assembling is locked forward to with pleasure by the members of the organization and their friends, and an effort is made to provide each succeeding twelve months a more en- joyable evening that the preceding one. Fully 200 persons sat at the tables, which were arranged in gridiron shape, and pro- fusely decorated with flowers. Vocal and instrumental music was a feature of the occasicn. At the conclusion of the banquet proper the president of the crganization, Mr. Jno. B. Wight, presented the former presidents, Mr. Noble D. Larner and Capt. Tyler, on behalf of the organization, costly salad bowls. Each of the recipients made a fit- ting response, and Mr. Simon Wolf was then introduced. In an insiructive address Mr. Wolf re- viewed the growth, of losses by fire in the United States since the early history of imsurarce, and urged mutuality among the insurance companies, their representatives and the insured. Mr. Wolf was followed by Mr. B. H. Warner, who spoke in favor cf adequate rate of insurance. He reviewed the objects*of insurance, scored the “wiid- cat” companies, and in conclusion stated that the low-priced insurance company with a small capital is worse than the shy- ster in law, the quack in medicine and the humbug in the ministry. Addresses were also made by Messrs. Gillette, Hewes, Co- hen, Cross, Davis acd Fardon. A humorous song by Mr. E. D. Merry was greatly en- Joyed.

A brief mention of the origin of the Red Cross, of the great work achieved under its banners in different parts of the globe, with more extended consideration of its wonderful workings, as exemplified on the part of Japan in the present war with Cinina, were the main points of an inter- esting paper read by Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross Society, to the members of the Business Woman's Club on Monday evening. On that occasion Miss Bartcn, who is-an honorary member of the club, entertained the members at her home. The paper was preceded by a reading from “Evangeline,” by Mrs. Estelle H. Davis, and was fol- lowed by questions from many of those present who wished to learn more of Miss Barton's work, ard who were abundantly arswered, not only by Miss Barton, but by Dr. Hubbell, Mr. Pullman and Mr. Bar- ten, workers w:th her under the Red Cross. Refreshments were then served in the spacious audience room, where Miss Bar- ten was assisted by Dr. Mary Weeks Bur- nett of Chicago, Miss Barton and the Miss- es Currie, and the guests enjoyed looking at some of the historical mementoes in the famous old house which is Miss Bar- ten’s home.

The soup house in Georgetown !s doing a splendid work. The livelfest interest is be- ing taken in the placeby:the produce deal- ers and others in pccition to render easiest the most practicable assistance. Every day Mr. Chas. B. Hunter, Mr. Wm. H. Brewer, Mr: John Blundon ard others of the vicinity pay special attention to the dispensary, ccntributing vegetables and fuel and personal help. There is‘no dgubt about the charity being dispensed judictous- ly. No laggards, unwilling workers or im- postors meet with encouragement. Those who exercise direct and indirect superin- tendence have lived in the town long and know who its worthy are. Mr. Blundon, as a large contractor, has been brought personal contact with hundreds of the town’s male colored populaticn, and can tell a worker from a loafer at a moment's glance. When he strikes a strange face that makes him doubtful, he calls to his CBOE OG of his trusty hands to post ‘im. Mr. Hunter not only contributes largely toward the ingredients of the soup, but often gives himself up personally as an as- sistant in the kitchen. ‘The soup house, in spite of the numerous callers, is kept as inviting internally as a New England farm house belonging to the comfortably fixed. Whenever those inter- ested about the place are not making or dispensing soup, they are polishing up the marble table covers, removing stains from the floor, brightening the big new boilers in which the soup is cooked, or doing some similar work. From eighty to one hundred worthy ones are given the steaming food daily. Generally, it is eaten on the spot, but often pailsful are allowed to be carried away to sick and weak friends and rela- tives. The quality of the article continues to be first-class. All_the necessary condi- ments are used to gfe the soup a family taste and delicacy. Dumbarton Church. A large congregation was in attendance last night at the Dumbarton Church to hear the Rev. Mr. M. F. B. Rice, a former pastor, preach at the revival service. He took for his text Luke xv:2—"This man ceiveth sinners and eateth with them’— speaking earnestly and imploringly of the necessity of each and every one to take a decided stand for the right. The singing of the choir, which has been an important tac- tor of the Dumbarton revival meetings, is being led by Mr. J. Henry Wilson. The hymns being rendered are those dear to old Methodists. Rev. L. B. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washington district, will preach tonight. On Temperance. A strong sermon on temperance, in which were vividly shown the evils resulting from drink, was last night delivered at the Baptist Church by Rey. Mr. Eisom. Dur- ing the evening the number of converts ran up to seventy, and thirteen additional join- ed the church. Tonight Mr. Elsom will speak on “Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By.” Notes Officer Kinnamon is an the sick list. Station Keeper Milton: Fisher is still at his hone, with his dangerously ill wife. Mrs. Fisher was stricken with paralysis some weeks ago. The house-to-house canvass here for the increase of the charity:fund, while not yet completed, promises to mage Georgetown show up well as a supporter of the good cause. In spite of the unceasing calls that have been made upon the people here, they are still contributing with grace and kindli- ness. Money is being, given, as well as goods of all kinds. Contributions are com- ing from all classes here above the desti- tute. —— — A-booming—the “golden anniversary” sale of carpets, furniture ard upholstery gocds. Wash. B.
