And the little old bulld ng" which has not been altered or added to inside since that time, was opened for worship the first Sunday in Member. 1715. You know- the won derful little old outside staircase to the gallery was built later; In fact. It dates from 1761; but otherwise there has been no addition. Washington is aald to have gone there for service on various occasions when he was at Valley Jorge and 'Vim. and they still have the pew he occupied marked to that effect. If. the fashionable church around the Main Line, you know. There was, possibly you remember, quite an alter cation among Main Liners a few years agtfaboTt a road called Church road which some members wanted left open nd others wanted closed, and I believe it was finally settled In court that It -must be left open.

' Tor. believe me. I never heard such whoops and yells as that Bald lady gave vent to in u ""v And she confided to me afterward that 'she had been having nightmares ever since she had undertaken to learn to run her car.

Not a Cowardly Act, Is View- Other letters follow: To tho r.iitor o the Evtnino Public Ltdstr: Sir Referring to several letters rrlntivp to death of William Tanner and wife, wish to criticize both letters signed "U. of P. Student" and "M. -u. r " mihllshed in vour naper Septem ber 4. I can hardly understand how any one could call this a criminal or cowardly act. To me it seems a beau tiful act. one which shows a man's love for his wife. Of routse, the chil dren should be remembered, but in a case of this kind I think Mr. Tanner did the thing most natural for a brave man to do after his efforts had failed to release his wife, f lace both writers rrforred to in first part of my letter iu similar position (without their having any children), and ten chances to one they are the kind who would lack the courage to stick with their wives. No wonder they criticize this man's deed. A. L. LAUB. 2014 East Clearfield street, Thila.

ELIJAH HODGES. 2023 Arctic avenue, Atlantic City, N J. Such Men Rare, He Says To the Editor ot the JTvrnliicr Public Letatrs Sir In reading over the letter which you published regarding the re cent tragedy of William Tanner and his wife, I fail to understand how some people can brand the man a coward or his act one of selfishness. Let those who so condemn sometime stand In the path of an approaching express train for a test of their courage and observe how quickly they arc willing to seek safety. How would our critics have regarded it bad there been no children? Could it have mad his act nobler? Think of what It will mean lo those children when grown tip to know of the supreme sacrifice of their father. Such n high type of ipvc and respect as evidently existed between the two is rarely found today. Had we more, our divorce courts would become ohselete. G. C. K Jr. Sacrifice Justified, Is Belief To the Editor of IM Evening Public Letbm Sir William Tanner truly made the supreme sacrifice; "greater love hath , no man than this." that In the moment of deadly peril this man choose to die with his wife. The little ones will be tenderly cared for, I agree thoroughly with Dr. 0. Grammer. MARCH ERITA BETTS HODGES. Calls Tanner s Martyr To the Editor of the Evening Public heiotrf Sir Grief and suspense at times de-' thrones reason and the victim becomes irresponsible for consequences. So!b must have been the state of mind forced upon William Tanner 'by the heart rending experience that drove him to join his wife in death. Self preservation is nature's first law and every act of self-destruction is an evidence of nn abnormal state of mind resulting from various causes. William Tanner's effort and sacrTuce was a prayer in action and, although bereft of reason, he died a martyr for the love of his wife. Had he through effort maintained a degree of composurt and even instinctively avoided the 'en gine he would have obeyed his wife and, although heart-broken, he might have recovered to live for his mother and children.
