ARTICULATE FAITH ~ URGED BY BISHOP Right Rev. James E. Freeman Sees Virulent Attack Upon Citadel of Church. In a strong appeal for a more articu- fate faith, the Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, at the Sourth annual fellowship dinner in his onor at the Hamilton Hotel last night Baid that “the time has come when Milence is by no means golden—men who believe in Christ must make a positive pen avowal of their faith if the Chris- tan religion is not to lose its vitality.” Several hundred men, representing all the parishes in the diocese of Wash- ington, attended the dinner. After the dinner Bishop Freeman an- hounced that March 9 had been fixed #s the date for a “great meeting” in Constitution Hall to express the sym- pathy of all Protestants, Catholics and Jews in this city for their “persecuted brethren in Russia.” Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, regent of the Georgetown Uni- versity School of Foreign Service, will address the meeting. Sees Virulent Attack. “There is now in this country,” Bishop Freeman said, “a virulent at- tack, the like of which the world has never known, being made upon the citadel of the church. This attack is well organized and_calculated to de- stroy Christianity. If we do not make of our religion a vital and vitalizing force it is worthless.” He denled that true scientific de- velopment is of itself inimical to Christian faith. “Many of our truly great scientists appreciate the essentiality of religion end the desirability of an articulate faith.” he declared. “The great scientists of this coun- try and of the continent are confirmed Christian men. I have no fears for the security of the faith we hold. But entirely apart from your own deep convictions concerning, for instance, the doctrine of the incarnation, which is fundamental, or concerning any one of the great fundamental doctrines of the church, I wonder how articulate that faith is so far as you are con- cerned?> If ever there was a time when you ought to.try to stand on all occasions and under all circumstances for the spoken belief that you hold, it is in this age in which we live. Youth Carried to Hell. “The church does not exist for the clergy and they must be supported by the laity. It is your solemn duty to bring your brothers into the church and to stop this awful rush carrying 80 many of our youth to the depths of hell.” The principal trouble with religion today in the opinion of the Right f‘::v. nyhAkrles P‘tl;ke. Bislkmp of Central New ork, another speaker, is a “disini a- tion of faith. A “Many people are going through a difficult’ period of readjustment of thought,” he said. “They find that science conflicts with their faith and they cannot go to their Bible for solace, for that, too, is apparently disputed in part by science. The result has been & steady drift away from Christian thought and study. After this period of readjustment has passed, however, the people will come back to an intense m"of the mystery of the life of The guests of honor included Dr. ‘William C. Sturgis and John Dord O’'Brian, Assistant Attorney General of the United States. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

MUSIC THE LIEGE STRING QUARTET. A new string quartet from Liege, Bel- zium, made its debut in Washington ye ‘erday afternoon. Named for their town, the Liege String Quartet opened the program with a work by the most noted of all Belgian composers, Cesar Franck, who was born in Liege. The little cham- ber music auditorium of the Library of | Congress was filled to capacity with an audience, which included Mrs. Hoover, the Belgian Ambassador and a number of other distinguished guests. ‘The members of the quartet, who are on their first American tour, are Henri Koch and Joseph Beck, violinists; Jean Rogister, viola, and Lyda Rogister, vio- loncello.” The' group already has given performances at Yale under the auspices of Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge and | in New York and Philadelphia. They later will tour the Middle West. The quartet showed fine sense of co- ordination, although ther were times when this quality was not as much in evidence as at others. The 'cello, while not heavily played by Mile. Rogister, was sufficiently resonant and rounded in’tone to blend admirably with the other in- struments. M. Koch's violin playing had a few rasping moments, but generally he played very well indeed, as did his con- freres on the second violin and viola. Particularly delightful were the inter- pretations given both the allegro of the first movement and the scherzo, the sec- ond movement, of the Franck “String | Quartet in D Major.” Joseph Jongen's “Serenade Tendre, which followed, proved to be a melodi- ous composition with suggestions of the aboriginal in theme+and certain cclorful moments. M. Rogister, the viola player of the quartet, was represented as composer, too, on the program. His “String Qua tet in A Major,” dedicated to Queen Eliz- abeth of the Belgians, was the final com- position presented. It is inclined to be a bit academic. The phrases meander in soft, minor-toned variations that seem ‘0 have the most noted quality of Tenny- son's “Brook” without saying much of anything. —H.F. UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB CONTEST. ‘The Glee Club of George Washing- ton University was adjudged the wi: ner of the MiddRe Atlantic Intercol- legiate Glee Club Association contest at_the Willard Hotel last night. The two other participants in this contest were Catholic University and Johns Hopkins University Glee Clubs. This means that the George Washing- ton University club will go to New York representing this section of the country in the national contest to be held in the metropolis March 9. ‘The Middle Atlantic Association was organized for the one purpose of select- ing a sectional group to send to New York. Former Justice William De Lacy is head of the organization. A large audience added colorful en- thusiasm to the occasion. In order to make the judgment impartial, the clubs were presented in irregular order, the exact appearance of each being in doubt to non-partisans in the audience until after the program had been completed and the judges’ decision given. Imme- diately after the program was con- cluded the judges announced their de- cision, making the award on the selec- tions rendered and not kfiowing until their opinion had been given out on which glee club the honor had been conferred. The George Washington club was led by Jesse Stimson. It appeared first on the program in “Lo, How a Rose,” by Praetorius. Later they sang the university’s alma mater song in true banner-winning style. Johns Hopkins appeared second on the program, singing “Calm as the Night”; in a later appearance the alma mater selection. Catholic University club, led by Dr. Leo Behrendt, displayed remarkably well trained voices, although at times it lacked in the presentations the finesse and smooth working force eharacter- istic of the winning club’s work. “Im- properia” was one of the Catholic U. club’s numbers. ‘The three clubs in ensemble sang, under Dr. Behrendt's guidance, “Hark, | Jolly Shepherds,” with delightful effect in gradual increase of volume. Dancing followed the concert. Australia’s railway extension program has been temporarily curtailed.

He was elected & fellow of the American Ghem- ical Society at 17. Being attracted to the science of geology, he began to pub- lish articles on this subject and at the age of 20 was invited to join the United States Geological Survey. This was un- der the regime of Maj. Powell and was prior to the arrival of all other geolo- gists now in the Survey, He is the author of a great number of geologic maps and reports, several of which have been reprinted by special acts of Congress. Dr. Darton is also the author of “The Story of the Grand Canyon,” a geological explanation of that natural wonder, of which more than 110,000 copies have been sold.

FOUNDA IR Reported Active in Dictating Policies Founder of Standard 0il Said to Have Hand in Recent Developments, By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 26.—The New York Herald-Tribune yesterday published a report that John D. Rockefeller, sr., who has remained «in the background | of the petroleum industry for many | years, has again taken the initiative in | dictating ofl policies. i 1t was Mr. Rdckefeller, now in his ninety-first year, who directed Standard interests to order a cut in the price of Texas and Midcontinent crude oil with- out notice to competitor companies, the newspaper has learned from & trust- worthy authority. The same authority said the hand of the elder Rockefeller was evident in the proposed consolidation and re- grouping of Standard and former Standard units, as illustrated by the acquisition of Anglo-American Oil Co., Ltd., by Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and’ the proposed merger of Standard Oil Co. of New York and the Vacuum ol Co. Mr. Rockefeller, it was pointed out, has & single interest at heart in the business field—the welfare of the great Standord organization, which he and his associates built from an initial in- vested capital of $4,000, PUNCTURE Bl'iINGS ARREST Colored Man Charged With Trans- porting Liquor to Sell Special Dispatch to The Star.
