When , Fairfax parish was created In 17G.r>, i George Washington, then thirty-three ' yours of age, was one of Its first ves- j j trymen. The church was finished in 17i3. and at the dedication Colonel Washington subscribed ?3G 10s for a j pew. the highest price paid. In the 1 vestry room the sexton displays the record of the purchase of the pew. The Washington pew. a roomy, com | fortable pew of the square type, with | seats running around three of Its sides i and a little wooden gate inclosing the I occupants. Is preserved just as it looked when it was occupied by the Washington family. On the rail is a silver plate Inscribed with a facsimile I of Washington's autograph. The seat is now reserved for strangers. Nearly 1 | every visitor to the church sits in the | pew for brief meditation while the i caretaker points out features of the j Interior. On the other side of the aisle, half way down the church. Is the pew that was occupied by the Lee family, murked with a silver plate : bearing a facsimile of tho signature of Robert Edward Lee, commander.inchief of tho Confederate army. In front of the church are two mural tablets containing the apostles' creed and tho lord's prayer. They have re main?a uncnnnged rrom the early days of the church and are In old-fashioned English lettering with "fa Instead of "a"s. The communion table, the chancel rail, the reading desk and chairs were nil here in the days of ! Washington, and so was the chandelier i with its 12 candlesticks. At the entrance to the church is a tablet enumerating the six colonels who served as honorary pallbearers nnd the lieutenants who- were active pall bearers at the funeral of Washington. At Fnirfax and Cameron streets is the most Ijnpresslve relic In "the town ?the Car'.yle house. It was built in 1745 by John Carlyle, who married Sarah Fairfax, daughter of Lord Fair , fax. and served at major and commissary under General Ttraddock In the French and Indian wars. The old hotel is now nlmost Inclosed by other buildings. When built Its eastern aide was on the water's edge, i while Its west portico looked out upon Alexandria, then a great Hrltish me; tropolis for the colonies, with a commerce extending to the West Indies.

The guide points out tho room in which George Washington was offered a commission in the British army by General Uraddock. The chamber occupied by Uraddock is exhibited, in the center of it a camp bed used by the British general during the French and Indian wars. Then there is the "blue room." mildewed and stained now. in which General Hraddock held his conferences with tho governors of six of the colonies. This council between j the governors and the British commanders, General Hraddock and Commodore Keppel, led to resolutions re-; citing that, as the governors found it I impossible to raise in their respective colonies the revenue ussessed by King George, his majesties ministers should be asked to tlnd out some method of compelling the raising of the revenue. The congress of Alexandria contribut-1 ed largely to the discontent that led to the revolution. As soon as the j residents of the town heard of the action of the council they met in the eoilrthouse and passed a resolution All Met Deatl i Superstition of Thirteen at Table, Though 'fclot Absolutely Correct, Seemed to Be Verified. "The most Interesting case of thirteen at table occuth in the biography of Sir John Kverett Millals, who one day unexpectedly found himself with twelve guests at his table, one of them being Matthew Arnold. A lady, discovering the fact, declared that she dared not remain after her painful experience on a former occasion when thirteen were present. To appease her the artist persuaded one of ills sons to take his meal In another room. That son returned to tho room a* *he close of dinner to hear Arnold say : 'The idea Is that, whoever leaves the table first will die within a year; so, with the permission of the ladles, we will cheat the fates for once.

As I visited the establishment I saw great fires of logs "That taxation and representation are j in their nature inseparable." George ! Wusliington presided at the meeting. In the cellar of the old hotel are the dungeons in which captive Indians were imprisoned and hanared and the cellar room In which Carlyle lived for many months as a precaution against ; Indian attack. The building is of mas- i sive stone, which was brought over | ! from England as ballast in ships, and ; ( it is in good preservation, although Its interior is delightfully dilapidated from the point of view of the antiquarian. Until recently several pieces of the original furniture were In the rooms, hut they have been purchased for a stage setting for a colonial . drama. A fine mahogany stnlrcase in the main hall is a delightful feature of this colonial relic. "On this here stairway," recites the j young woman who acts as guide, j "George Washington met his first de- | feat. He was coming down these here i stairs when the biff door there onened and In Walked Miss Sally Fairfax on her way to lead tho minuet. George Washington was only nineteen years old at the time, but he fell desperately I In love and asked Miss Fairfax to marry him. She rejected hi in. This was the first and only defeat of tho great general." A flight of dark stone stairs leads to the basement rooms, one of which, Carlyle's room, is said by the guide to have been conhected with the river bank by an underground passage. Nothing remains of this subterranean way, it having been closed up to prevent accidents. i Within Year ? _ months later Matthew Arnold, in the prime of life and apparently In the best of health, died suddenly of heart disease. Shortly afterward the second of the three who had risen simul iaucuum \ ii uiu uiuii' Cillll*' iu a iiiyaterlous end in .

Gen. 12:2. , The IfTbie doea not profesa to a bo a chronological history of the world, it does profess to reveal the steps of 1 ( the redemptive process of God where- | by fallen man shall be justilled in his ( sight. So It is that we find but little record of those hundreds of years between this lesson and the events re- , corded in that of last week. We do, I* however, find all that la essential in ! ?.iH3 inmuii ui me piau 01 salvation. ' The cleansing of the earth by water wan not for long, since we soon see men relapsing into sin. t. "Get thee out of thy country," vv. " 1-3. In this lesson we behold God ; again selecting a single man who shall be the head of a race. We doMiot of ! course infer that Abrain received an | uudible call, though God could certain- 1 ly speak as he did on other and nutner- ; ous occasions. God calls today by those inward impulses and desires, by | the voice of duty mil conscience, by ! the force of circumstances, and by the word. The Jtible is God's great- ' est organ of speech. Abram's Journey. From Acts 7:2 we learn that he call j first came to Abram when he was in Mesopotamia, probably on the right bunk of the Euphrates river, and that his obedience to that call was only partial. Abram got out of his own wuhu; , uui nut iinu me uiiiu (iniip iBod unto him. He journeyed probably 500 miles to the northwest but got only ns far as Haran, which wus not the promised land. It took, evidently, the death of his father to move him from that place, # Acts 7:4. Abram went not knowing the kind of a land, nor was ho told where it was to be Heb. 11:8. i?1s call was threefold (1) "for thy country," (2) "thy kindred." (3) "thy father's house." Thus we see that God demanded a complete j separation from the o'd life, associations and affections. II. And Abram departed," vv. 4-6 "To obey is better than sacrifice and ( to hearken than the fat of rams," 1 Samuel 15:22. Abram had Just enough ; faith to obey. We do not read that he i asked for enlightenment; he saw not 1 the land, but he heard the call and staggered not at the promise. He was fully persuaded that Clod was able tc perform and therefore it was reck oned unto him for righteousness. Acts 7:20-22. But lie did not go alone. A1 ready God had begun to redeem his promise (v. 2). Abram's character i was such and his name of such Import ' that his nephew Ix>t accompanied him. Lot, however, did not possess that same faith nor a like character Lot went "with him" and not, likr , Abram, with God. Abram also took | his own family with him, and "all their substance" v. 5. Nothing was left be ; hind to tempt him to return. "And j they went forth into the land of Ca- , naan," a type of the life into which we are called in Christ Jesus. Thus at once another part of the promise is j fulfilled. Hi. "And the Canaanite was in the land," vv. 6-f>. All was not so easily j settled for Abram. "Man that is bom of woman is of few days nnd full ol : troubles," no life is devoid of its test j ing, Kph., 6:12, R. V., nnd so as Abram ( journeyed he met with enemies I His Place of Rest. '* Passing on from thenco he reached a place of rest (v. 8). This Is a beau tiful lesson on consecration.. Here Ik Abram at "a mountain on the east ol ' Bethel" (house of God). Notice he If ; on the east of Bethel facing westward ( the direction in which he has been journeying, having Hal (ruins) at hlf I back, and "there he builded an altar j unto the Lord and called upon thf ! name of the Lord" (v. 8). Let. us al! ' remember to turn our backs upon tlif world, and as v;e face the house, thf j altar of God, render him undivided, I whole hearted worship and service. ; God's appearance to Abram was again | in connection with obedience. God is just as ready to assure us as we jour ; ney through this humdrum, toilsome 1 i journey of life, ever ready to meet us and to make us glad by the way. Notice that Abram In a strange land did not neglect God's altar like man) a present-day pilgrim, uor to give tes j tlmony of his faith for "called upor the name of the Lord." Like thf Christ who "had not where to lay his ' head," so Abram was a "pilgrim." Fbr the older clnsses consider suet questions as. Every Man's Life a Plan j of God; Our Debt to Judaism; Our Treatment of Others Who Are Fll i grims, Strangers, e. g., immigrants For the younger do not omit Loi | and the dramatic, high-light picture ol that journey from ITr of the Ohaldeet (use a map).
