Synopsis
Excerpt from Washington a Model in His Library and Life
On the twelfth of May, more than a century ago, Washington, as instructed by Congress, took the oath as command er-in-chief of the army already under his command. The coincidence was recalled when before representatives, among others, of patriotic societies, on May 12, 1895, the following lecture was delivered in outline at All Angels' Church, New York. For the Rector of that church having founded the lecture course, appointed the date and place as above, entitling this lecture A New Leaf in History. It is needless to add that the Liturgical service, there chorally and splendidly rendered, was that in which, in the necessarily primi tive rendering of his day, \vashington was accustomed to participate in public worship.
