CONSECRATE THE GROUND FOR NEW CHURCH EDIFICE Exercises Under Auspices of Ta- koma Park Presbyterian' Congregation. Ground for the mew building was consecrated at ceremonies held last Sunday at the Takoma Park Presby- terian Church. Rev. Dr. J. C. Palmer made the address. The exercises fol- lowed a five-day drive for funds, which was highly successtul. 3 Milburn, Heister & Co., the archi- tects, have designed a substan- tial and dignified structure in three units—the community and social unit in the reconstructed old edifice; the administration unit, to contain board and choir rooms, pastor's study, with kitchen and lavatories complete in every detail; the religious unit, with provision for the public worship and the installation of a modern, up-to- date organ, for which funds are now being accumulated. The building will be of stone. The Arthur T. Smith Company has the contract and al- ready has begun foundation work, with E. T. Myers on the ground as| superintendent of construction. With favorable building conditions and no delay in assembling. materials it Is hoped the building will be inclosed before winter. B NAZARENE. Chutch of the Nazarene Seventh und A streets n.e.

The committee of St. Martin's Church, headed by Rev. Eugene A. Hannan, which has in charge the im- provement of the church and school facilities within the parish, met re- L. Blakeslee, Maurice F. Moore and Louis C. Krauss as the architects for the work contem- plated. This work has in view the imme- diate erection of a convent building to house twenty sisters of the Order Notre Dame de Namur, who will form the main portion of the faculty in St. Martin's parochlal school. While the convent is in process of erection plans will be prepared for the new school, which will accommodate sev- eral hundred children and be one of the largest parochial school buildings in_Washington. It is also contemplated to make a start on the superstructure of the church, the basement of which was completed several years ago and which now serves for public worship.

EVERYBODY WELCOME, METHODIST OPAL ( n Dice, Supt. surance given by A. H. Macmillan, general manager of the International Bible Students' Association, to an au- dience here last Sunday that Christ would come again to earth not later than the year 1949, a great deal of doubt that the date can be so ac- curately forecast seems still to exist in the minds of the clersymen of Baltimore. Rev. John R. Hedeman, pastor of St. Mark's Reformed Church, said “Frankly, T think that it-fs all bosh. 1t is nothing unusual for the second coming of Christ to be foretold for the near future, of course. Almost every year some one predicts that it| Is close at hand. So far, they have been wrong every time. | “I remember that a few years ago the congregation of a New England church became convinced that thel end of the world was swiftly ap- proaching. The day #nd the hour had been revealed. They sdld all their earthly possessions and good and gathered at the appointed time on the top of a hill. But, of cour nothing happened. ‘Then also during the dec lowing Christ's death many followers expected that He would re- turn to earth very soon, and they lived in idleness awaiting His com- | tory will be enlarged to take care of them. Archbishop Curley of Baltimore has already passed on the plans for the convent and has directed that the ns for the school be ready for his pection on his return from Rome, two months hence. When these im- provements shall have been completed St. Martin's parish will possess one of the finest and most up-to-date paro- chial schools in Washington, as well as a church and other properties of which the parishioners may be proud.

SPEAKER CITES PURPOSE OF CHURCH PUBLICITY C. T. Jewell, Addressing Diocesan Conference, Says Purpose Is to Speed Coming of Kingdom. ‘The purpose\of church publicity is towspread the gospel of Christ; to speed the coming of the kingdom,” Secretary C. T. Jewell of commission on pullicity of the diocese of Wash- ington declared at a recent confer- ence. 'We aim to set forth our bellef in such a way as to induce others to believe also. And we strive to tell the readers of the newspapers of the things that men are doing for God, and of the things to be done, so that they may be encouraged also to “fol- low the blessed footsteps of His most holy life. ~ “Those are the reasons, fundamental and consistent and enduring, for church publicity. Publicity with any less lofty purpose is not worthy of the church. Since religion in its tru- est sense invades all fields of human activity and touches its devotees on all sides of their bging, so publicity in the name of religion ramifies in several directions and becomes mixed with many forms of worldly enter- prise. But at its heart it remains al- ways an agent of pure intention, a missionary of the cross of Christ. an evangelist of self-sacrifice. ‘Church publicity 15, therefore, not concerncd with the fiiling of church pews as an end in itself. It does not conspire to give fame or popularity to one preacher or another except in 80 far as the message of that preacher is worthy of conslderation. Certainly, it has not for an object the ring of funds in any other way than by awakening the public conscience to the need of the hour. REV. C. E. McALLISTER WILL GO TO HAMPTON, VA. i Rev. Charles E.

Harlan, a promjnent churchman and a nrember of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. It was one of the disappointments of i Justice Harlan's life that he- was unable guccessfully to carry his ideal into reality. ° The idea, how- ever, has been faithfully preserved throughout all the years following Justice Harlan's activity by his pas- tor, the former moderator of the gen- eral assembly and pastor emeritus of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Two Plans Proposed. Two deflnite proposals are under consideration. ‘They may be desig- nated, respectively, as the “Larner plan” and the “Dr.’Rohrer plan.” It is the thought of John B. Larner to erect on the proposed site a great Presbyterian church, to be devoted solely to ecclesiastical purposes. the money to be contributed by Pre: terians and other interested individ- uals throughout the nation. The “Dr. Rohrer plan.” advocated by Rev. Freely Rohrer. pastor of the etropolitan Presbyterian Church and secretary of the National Capital Presbyterian Church extension com- mittee, is to erect on this location a great Presbyterian edifice to be de voted not only to religious but a to business purposes. Dr. Rohrer's plan is to erect a great Presbyterian office building of perhaps ten stories in height. A part of this building will consist of a great auditorium, capable of seating at least 5,000 people. and suf- ficlently large to accommodate great religious gatherings, such as the Presbyterian General Assembly, etc. This auditorium would be also used s a regular church ediffice for the nducting of regular Presbyterian rvices in the National Capital. Ac- cording to Dr. Rohrer's plan, this Presbyterian building “might inciude the Presbyterian headquarters, offices suizable for religious and business purposes, quarters for a Presbyterian | | | { BY REV.

The seed from which germinated our modern republic has been traced to the captives whom Nebuchadrezzar carried in triumph with his spoils of conquest in 597 B. C. to Tel-Ahib on the Chebar. Among those who sadly traveled the desert was Ezekiel, the son of Buzzi, whom God proposed to give a prominent 1 i i his countrymen. He was one of those masterful personalities “who by sheer energy .of character and force of thought impressed an ineffaceable stamp upon the religion of his age. He was the author of the great and complicated system of sacrifice be- longing to the second temple. He was destined to become the father of Judaism, with its legalism, dogma- tism and ceremonialism. The young priest belonged to one of the leading families of Judah, for he was carried away as 2 captive when the cream ot the nation was taken to Babylon. It is_almost 3,514, years to a day since Ezekiel was called to assume the office of prophet. He tells us in a simple and eloguent statement in the opening verses of his prophecy the circumstances of his call to the I prophetic office upon July 5, 592 B.C. Five years previously he had been taken from the temple service into a strange land and forced to earn his own living with the other captive: Tel-Ahib, or “Hill of corn-ears,” evi- dently was located upon a canal or river of Babylon that made the sec- tion assigned to the Jewish captives quite fertile. They appear to have been left to regulate their own com- munity affairs and govern themselves in accordance with their own plans and _national peculiarities. During the five years of suffering, sorrow and sacrifice’ the patriotic priest was be- ing prepared to become a prophet and pastor of his people. Memories of the temple and conferences which he had with Jeremlah concerning the nation's destiny served to fit him for the mission to which God called him the misslon 0 W O & & SPIRITUALIST.
