HARDING ATTENDS Many Members of Diplomatic Corps at Services at St. John's Church. National self-consciousness, Dpa- riotism and respect for law was urg- ed by Rt Rev. Thomas F. Gallor, hishop of Tennessee, at the services «©f the Sons of the Kevolution in the District of Columbia, in commemora- tion of the birth of George Wash- ington, at St. John's Church, 16th and H streets northwest, vesterday. The impressive ceremony was Aat- tended by President Harding and| ‘members of the diplomatic corps. Bishop Gailor declared that despite nccusations against the American veople a national spirit is awaken- ingwwhich, he declared, must be made # blessing to the country and to the world. He urged that the nation be “a consecrated servant and benefac- 1or of mankind.” Bishop Gaflor's Sermon. In speaking of the American prin- ciples of “Freedom of the Individual wund Supremacy of the Law,” Bishop Gallor said, in part: We can hardly be said to have suc- ded in realizing - either of these raditfons. On the contrary, we are all painfully aware of a sad lack of erence for law, and this condition is not improved by groups of people, who organize themselves into- bands of regulators to enforce the laws they favor.

It repudiates the notion that free gov- ernment means the right of the strong man and wicked man to take advantage of and despoil the weak man under the forces of law. In speaking of George Washington Rishop Gailor said: No nation in the world perhaps owes its existence 5o pre-eminently 1o the courage and devotion of one man as does the United States; and § & certainly no nation n boast of a founder whose personal and public character has so splendidly sustai: «<d the criticisn of four generations.” Leaves Two Legacies. “His first legacy to his country- men was his religious faith. In his farewell address he declared his firm conviction that the stability of the republie would depend upon the main- tenance of the moral standards, and said- ‘Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on 3ninds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to cx- yect that national morality can pr Vail in exclusion of religious princi- LA His second leg vas his beliet in the national ide; As a prophetic statesman, he saw the heterogeneous «lements of our population welded into one mighty whole, and. as a re- nt_eritlc & ‘he dared to use the word nation and to advocate tie national idea long before nine-tenths of the people saw that they were hound to become a nation or desired to be one.’ “Today the dream of Washington has been fulfilled and all Americans are responding with gladness to the privilege and responsibility of the national life.
