v BY WALLACE RADCLIFFE, D.D, LLD. Twenty-Five Years in National Capital Pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyteriar. Church, Washington, D. C. (From the Presbyterian Magazine for October). HE Washington of today is & transformation. It was to John Randolph a ‘“city of magnifi- cent distances,” which Dick~ ens paraphrased Into & “city of mag- nificent intentions.” Gouverneur Mor- ris wrote of it in his day, “All that we need here are houses, cellars, kitchens, scholarly men, amiable women and a few other trifies to possess a perfect city, the best city in the world to live in—in the fu- ture.” That future has dawned, not only in national wellbeing and poli- tical power, but as the dominating senter of the intellectual and spiritual forces of our Christian civilization: The past quarter of a century, espe- .cially through the necessities of the world war, has witnessed its largest and varied development and attrac. tiveness. It has been a period of Tevolution and surprise, whose splen- did achevements indicate their varied expressions in the contrast of the Langley disaster and the Bolling Field of today. The Most Beautiful Ameriean City. It is already the most beautiful ‘American city. Under the national vommittee of art, recently and most ‘wisely arranged, the original plan of L'Enfant is to be developed in elab- orate and esthetic construction, in- cluding the varied parks with theif individual flowers, shrubs and trees, the shaded avenues, statues and pub- lic buildings. Massachusetts avenue has now more linden trees than can bé found in the famous Unter der Linden in Berlin. Even Pennsylvania avenue, the disappointment, if not humillation, to every patriotic visitor, will one day be worthy of its stately history and dramatic scenes. The contemplated picture of sunken gar- ens and fountains with its imposing gume of the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial will be original, historic and unrivaled. It might be well if somehow this committee could have an authoritative word even in "the matter of our church buildings. No important American_city is 8o Ally furnished herein as Washingten. “With few exceptions, they are plain, unattractive, unecclesiastic. and poor- 1y furnished for modern chureh life, .’and feebly representative of our American church service and ideals. A City That Is a University, The common conception of the city as only a political center is natural, but far from the reality. It is the special and exceptional focus of all ithat is best in the life and thought 6f the American people. It is per- syaded with an atmosphere of intel- ectual culture. It is the library, flmsm house and distributing center ? the nation's knowledge and accom- lishments. Its official departments old an aggregation of sclentists of riginal work and International fame. remember one evening looking upon social function at the Cosmos Club. r. Harris, then commissioner of edu wation, asked, “Do you know what ou are looking at?” I replied, “A ood-looking lot of intelligent men.” e sald, “More than that. You see the Jargest gathering of real scientists, ¥hat is, original contributors to their espective spheres of science, that ould possibly be gotten together any- Mvhere in this country.” The National Museum has one of the richest scien- ®ific libraries In existence. The best $ind most complete medical library is our Medical Museum. That of the Fironn of education 18 conceded to be nequaled in its pedagogy. The Freer emorial, just being completed, al- eady has summoned attraction inter- ationally by its Whistler treasures, s oriental collections and its unique nd valuable contribution to the study ¢ New Testament manuscripts. We ave, in our Library of Congress, the est musical library in the world; its ooks and manuscript being in co tant loan in such musical centets as ndon, Paris and Vienna. It is the ¥hecca of journalists and writers. The icademic ‘atmosphere is distinct and effective through the five universities ¢t Georgetown. George Washington, Catholic, .Howard and American. It ‘has been an increasing wondef. dur- ing my stay &ere, that some million- ire has hot grasped the opportunity or personal fame and international influence by menerous enidowment of ‘gne of these Institutions, notably the eorge Washington, whose name and traditions are so commanding and his- toric. The city itself roofed over. with its incomparable scheme of 1 braries, laboratories. galleries, mu- seums ‘and_collections. would be a wniversity before which Harvard or Fale or Chicago would sink into in- ignificance. y Its Dramatic Life. i Life in this eity is dramatic.

Washington is surfeited with speaking, the shorter, and fewer the sermons, the better”; this by a prominent and favorea pas- tor. The greater mistake is the mod- ern tendency to secularism'and sen- satlon. There are better things even thap crowded pews and easy treas- uries. We must learn again that tne church is a divine institution and that the ministry has a divine commission. When the church stops preaching it will stop living. Whatever the minis- ter may do or may not do, he must preach. He must preach doctrine. Only from sound doctrine can come sound life. He must not omly be an exhorter, but a teacher, and he must have something to teach. If the last quarter century haa Eiven us more outstanding preachers we would have had more outstanding Christianity. We must get back to the sermon as the center of public Worship, and to the Bible as the center of that ser- mon; and to the Holy Spirit as the center of that Bible. The need of to- day, emphasized by the laxities and gonfusions and depreciation conse- quent upon the world war, is not leg- istations or refinements or social bet- terments, but the direct and conse- crated study of the Word of God. Give us expository preaching which more lterally develops thi mind of the Spirit. Give us both Old and New Testament in the regular course of the pulpit readings. Let the people hear as they have mot been hearing Ime whole Word of God. People may failed.

Arriving there, 1 found several important officlals waiting and told her we would have time only for a word and a handshake. “Oh, I don't expect to shake hands, just want to look at him.” The door swung sud- denly open and to the familiar voice of ‘“Well, doctor,” the missionary was presented. He recognized her field a8 the scene of one of John Fox's novels, “Fox is a great friend of mine”; her other field as the scene of James Lane Altén's recent book—"Was readin, that book only last night'—praise her work, and kept her in genial sympathetic talk for more than ten minutes while senators and justices waited—a very characteristic and beautiful incident. Of course, the little missionary came back home walking on alr. Some Eminent Preabyterian Elders. It is to be regretted, however, that many of our public men are not as good churchmen as they were twenty five years ago. but there are splendid exemplars still.

The 'congres- slonal clock, which is put back over the Sabbath frrevocably loses time. The republic that lives is assured by the righteousness of its lawgivers. Why Net a Natlenal Presbyterian Cathedral? One effectual hindrance, increas- ingly noticeable in the recent pass- ing years, is our detachment from the thoughtful, active sympathy of the national church. Our central significance to the whole country. our transient population and finan- cial limitations should have made Washington the field for distinct and organized work by the whole church. Our miStaken policy has been de- plorable. God gave Washington to the Presbyterfans. We had the van- tage point of early arrival, of the formative suggestion and influence of our church government upon the national organization, and the un- usual numbers of Presbyterian birth l 3 ' begin till[and training among the leading Tustics ;-hr‘;:;hn:fi”ge::mrbfiye are | minds of administration.

During in their pews.” Presbyterianism had many faithful and honored elders, of whom Elder WIl- liam Ballantyne, though not in pub- Hc life, is worthy of distinct mention because of his wide knowledge and intereat in the churches, his unswerv- ing loyalty and untiring industry. Among public_men_Justice Willlam Strong, John W. Foster and soon thereafter Justice John M. Harlan made distinguished and enduring records in our church life. Justice Harlan espe- clally became & tower of strength and a recognized snd beloved representative. The Harlan Bible Class became au_in- stitution in the community. Chief Jus- tice White used to twit his associate about his Presbyterian enthusiasm, say- ing, “Brother Harlan goes to bed every night with the Constitution of the United States in one hand and in the other_the constitution of the Presbyte- rian Church.” He was outspoken, sym- pathetic, broad, yet uncompromising on Christian doctrine and public morality, a great man, a loyal churchman, an this pastorate an effort was made through the Presbyterian cathedral project to crystallize some of the possibilities. he plan was to make this old church, by reason of its age, traditions and location, the founda ttan of a church whose size and adaptations would command public interest, afford a center for excep- tional work and worship. and be a weleome meeting place for the gen- eral assembly, which should often, if The plan was systematized and ap- proved by the general assembly and some generous contributions assured, but varlous hindrances arrested it. ‘What Other Churches Are Doing. Of recent years other denominations have recognized the capital as the most_strategic point in congpicuous influence and church ad- now seeking to van-e. They are possess the city by elaborate system church architecture is neither an altar America for and generous gifts from their church- 8 throughout the nation. The Roman Catholic Church, always shrewd and far seeing, has already with fine sys- tem and large outlay established itself splendidly and with superb organized strength. They have two universities well located, richly endowed, furnish- ¢d . with imposing bulldings and capable representatives; also monas- terier, convents, hospitals and church buildings, attractive and inviting. The ‘lowest estimate of their present in- vestment is $25,000,000, and they are Giow building an elaborate' and im- pressive Shrine to the Immaculate Conceptlon at a cost of $5.000,000 ad-) ditional, to be contributed by the peo- ple at large. pal Church The Protestant Episco- is erecting one of the national $10,000,000, and the movement is al- ready on foot to transfer their na- has a location near the congressional Capitol, on' which will rise a great granite bullding for their episcopal and mission offices. The Methodist Church, South, has completed, on a strategic point. a well appointed and attractive church buildings as the central church home for their own people. The Baptists are building a Roger Willlams Memorial, which is to be both monument and church build- ing. The Presbyterian Church, South, is building by "general contribution, under assembly control, the Pilgrim Church. The Unitarians:of the coun- try are erecting a well equipped building at an_expense of $300,000. The Christian Scientiats and other cults are driving along kindred lines and ideals. It is time that in some large ways our own church should hear the challenge. Is ours to be the only provincial church? ~Are we to surrender our rightful Jleadership?) The church of the capital will dom- inate the republic. A Cheering Retrospect. The retrospect is, after“all, one of cheer and assurance. Here, as e erywhere, the< period has been mo- | mentous in its unprecedented spirit of change. Question and doubt and restatements and reconstruction have meant alarm and conflict and often a sense of defeat and a temporary hopelessness. But it has been only contribution, reassertion and proph- ecy. The central verities have been practically untouched. The realities of religion have been deepened and enmiched. We have an added in- !trenched conviction that the confes. slon of the ages is the faith once delivered by the saints. We have al clearer proclamation of the love of God. but in no terms Which modify | of becloud the justice of God. We ! have only & more definite tone to the soclal message of Jesus. which into | the passing ®ocial confusion may bring a_clearer emphasis upon peace and righteousness and personal r sponsibility. Out of all the nois and tumuit_and cloud emerges the cross of Christ, distinct and u broken, and upon unmoved found: tions the gospel stands secure, au- thoritative and redemptive.

It is believed that he is relying on their advice before he makes any sort of statement. There is & good deal of interest in what he intends to do, and there are many of the men and women of the city who are merely standing by and wait- ing to see developments. In the meantime, friends of Sen- ator Swaneon are beginning to show an interest in the matter of his suc- cessor, and they are seeing to it that his interests are not overlooked in the general preliminary scramble. One of the most ardent of the suf- fragists in Virginia, a woman who worked night and day for the bal- lot, discussing the attitude of the wi . declared that there were not 5 per cent of them who would vote other than the democratic ticket. In fact, she gave a new version to the coming primary for United States senator, saying that the women would and could be relled on to replace with five votes every democrat—or former democrat—who would this year sup- port Col. Henry W. Anderson, as they had declared they would. There are reports of many men having said they intended to support Col. Anderson. Chairman H. D.
