As part of his sermon during the service, Dr. Wilkinson paid tribute to Dr. Smith's work for the church during his 34 years of rectorship. He declared the church “might well be said to stand as a memorial” to Dr. Smith's leadership. He summarized the accomplish- ments of his predecessor by quoting several passages which he had writ- ten for the May issue of the Wash- ington Diocese, in which he said of Dr. Smith: “He gave himself unstintingly to the cancellation of the debt, the rais- ing of an endowment, the building of a parish house and rectory, the enlargement and beautification of | the church, the installation of an organ, windows, a chapel and other memorials. This house of God and | place of worship for all people might well be said to stand as a memorial of those 33 years and 8 months under the leadership of him who joined the Church Triumphant on June 2,1939.” | Underneath the small oval por- | trait of Dr. Smith on the tablet is the inscription “To the glory of God and in the | memory of the Rev.

BORDEAUX, Jine 3—Despite | the courageous stand taken by the rump Belgian Parliament (89 Dep- | uties and 54 Senators who had man- | aged to escape to France and who | met in Limoges last Friday) in ap- proving Premier Hubert Pierlot's | denunciation of King Leopold and | in lending full support to the cab- inet in its fight for restitution of | Belgian independence, its decision | can hardly repair the damage caused by the King's surrender to the Ger- | mans. | One of the greatest tasks facing the deputies as well as Belgian bankers and business men who have | now sought refuge in France, is to save Belgian holdings abroad. Belgium has large investments throughout the world, including the Balkans. For example, in Rumania alone, one single banking concern has 20,000,000,000 lei, or nearly $800,~ 000,000, invested in armament works, oil wells, refineries, railroads and trolley car companies and so forth. Undoubtedly, the Germans will claim all these investments. But the bankers will fight to protect their interests, the loyal Belgian govern- ment will fight for the restoration of Belgium's independence. | (Copyrisht, 1940, Chicago Datly News, Inc.) | 5-and-10 Heiress G;ves British 10 Ambulances By the Associated Press.
