Atthe Mount Vernon (MLE. South) church a sermon was preached by Rey. David Wills, D. D., at 11 o'clock this morning on the subject of “Thoughts suggested by the first proclamation of the new President.” The members of the Christian church (the late President Garfield’s chureh,) were all present, and united in the ser- vices at Mt. Vernon church, by invitation of the latter, the Rev. Dr. Power being absent in Cleveland to take part in the burial services there. The church was heayily decorated with mourning emble outside and inside, and an air of great solemnity pervaded the church and surroundings. The choir of Mt. Vernon church was out in full numbers, and the services were commenced by appropriate singing. A large con- grecation was assembled, and the services were very impressive throughout. IMPRESSIVE UNION SERVICE. The congregations of Hameline and Grace (M. E.) churches held services at the first named ‘hurch at 11 o'clock this morning. The mourn- ing decorations here were heavy and in good taste. A festoon of black hung behind the plat- form, and in the center was the monogram “J. A. G..” and above it the words of Scripture quoted bythe deceased, ‘God reigns,” and be- low “In memoriam.” The services consisted of appropriate selections by the choir, led by Mr. George C. Harris, Among thehymns sung were the following: “Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden,” ‘Thy will be done,” “Oh Trust in God,” and others. Appropriate remarks were made by the pastor, Rev. 8. M. Hartsock, Major H. A. Hall, Dr. S.M. Merrill, Rey. Mr. Kraft, and Col. W. A. Cook and others. A UNION MEMORIAL SERVICE was held at 2 o’clock p. m., at the Metropolitan QLE.) church, at which, with the congregation 6f that church, those of Wesley chapel, North Capitol and Memorial (M.E.) churches were united. There was appropriate music by the choir, and addresses were delivered by Rev.R.N. Baer, the pastor, Rey. W. I. McKenney and Hon. Hiram Price. The services was closed with ceremonies just ag if the congregation was at the grave, the solemn burial service of the church being read. AT THE 4TH STREET M.E. CHURCH, East Washington, there was a large congrega— tion at 2%¢ o’elock, and the services under the direction of the pastor, Rev. G. V. Leech, were very impressive, consisting of song and prayer, followed by addresses by Mr. Leech, Rev. Rich'd Emmons and others. “The church was hand- somely draped. A portrait of the late Presi- dent, appropriately trimmed, was displayed on the front of the pulpit, and behind it other trimmings were of black’ bunting, tastefully set off by pleatings of white satin. NINTH STREET M.P. CHURCH. At the 9th-street Methodist Protestant church the services were held at 3 0’clock, when the pastor, Rey. P. T. Hale, preached an appropriate discourse. ‘THE SERVICES AT TRINITY (P.E.) CHURCH, Rey. Thomas G. Addison, rector, commenced at 2 o'clock to-day, a large congregation being in attendance.

An appropriate funeral discourse by ever ee followed, in which the life and cl ter of President Garfield, both in his private and public capacity, was recited with words of eulogy. The following hymn, entitled ““ Memory of the Dead,” was then sung: “ What is life? Here to perdition, Swiftly passing as a thought; Ah! how vain is man’s ambition! To the grave he taketh naught. Yea Son of Earth! ‘Thou art a pilgrim here, Worms and destruction at thy beauty jeer, Woe! woe! Vain is life with all its schemes, ‘Woe! woe!

At the Assembly’s church (Presbyterian), on I street, between 5th and 6th, Rev. George 0. Little, pastor, there was a union service by the congregation of Mr. Little’s church, and the congregation of the Central Presbyterian church (southern), Rev. Dr. Pitzer, pastor, commencing at 2o'clock. The services were opened by sing- ing, ‘Rest Spirit, Rest,” by a volunteer choir of about forty voices, in place of the regular choir—the leader, Mr. Warren Young, chief clerk of the Executive department, being absent at Cleveland to take part in the services there. Prayer was offered by Rey. Mr. Little, who also read selections from the Bible appropriate to the occasion. Then followed a sermon, suited to the oceasion, by Rey. Dr. Pitzer, not’ from any particular text, but upon the life and character of the late President of the United States, his Christian example, &c., and with hopes expressed that the new President may, in his official life, observe and practice all the Christian virtues, not forgetting to place his reliance on God as his only assurance of success. Appropriate re- marks followed by Rev. Mr. Little in the same strain. Music followed, and then the closing prayer by the pastor. Appropriate mourning emblems were placed on the exterior and en- trance way of the church. The attendance was quite large and the services solemn and impres- sive. AT WAUGH CHAPEL, this morning, appropriate services were con- ducted by the pastor, Rey. Wilford Downs. who, with Major Welch, Mr. Matchett, (of the Metro- politan chureh,) and others delivered feeling ad- dresses. The pastor, in his prayer, implored God's blessing on the new Presi: , and asked that the widow and family of the deceased Pres- ident be comforted, and that his mantle fall on his children, and that his life may be the sacrifice by which every section of the country is to be brought together. The pulpit was handsomely draped in mourning, and a fine picture of the late President was displayed. UNION SERVICES AT THE WESTERN PRESBY- TERIAN CHURCH, At the Western Presbyterian church service were held at eleven o'clock this morning. The pastor Rev. T. S. Wynkoop officiated. The small body of the church was well filled with attendants. who were principally ladies. The bright sunlight broke through the stained win- dows and flecked the dresses and faces of the people inthe pews. ‘The pastor was assisted by the Rev. J.C. Hagey. ‘The services were pre- ceded bya solemn march fromtheorgan, ushering in the people, who walked to seats leading from either one or the other of the two aisles. In the pulpit were the Rev. T. 8. Wynkoop, Rev. C. Hagey and Rey. P. D. Burghardt. There were no mourning decoration: Je the chureh. Outside there was the drapery of black upon the walls, and over the entrance. The pastor, Mr. Wynkoop, offered prayer whe the time for the commencement of ceremoni had arrived. He prayed briefly. 7 prayers of the nation that the President should live had not been answered by the inserutable Ruler of all the world We should not be cast down or have our faith broken. We will bow down in resignation. d the Lord to help His people to humble elves and be with them in their humili tion. The choir sang “Come ye onsolate. Mr. Wynkoop then read from the Sth chapter of the book of Daniel. The text of his reading was appropriate to the national affliction and of a character from which there could be drawn con- solation. The fact that prayer did not avail was made compatible with the will and great wis- dom of the Creator. The Rey. Dr. Hagey fol- lowed with prayer, The choir sang “Wait, Oh my soul, thy Maker’s will” Mr. Wynkoop then preached the sermon. He took atext the bur- den of which was, “Come; let us return unto the Lord.” He referred to the frequency of the wide- | spread grief at the death of the President. All | the world to-day was in mourning for him. An hundred million ot people all over the world were turning to that beauteous city by the lake—Cleveland—where the dead is to be laid away until the morning of resurrection day. People in a hundred foreign tongues are speak- ing the the name that is upon every lip in the United State: ot one word of detraction is being said or will be said. It is not known that the world ever saw such a funeral. There was mention made by the preacher of the birth, the steady growth in character and attainments of the deceased. His personal qualities and char- acter were eulogized. His fortitude, christian faith and fervent, unaffected piety were com- mented upon. Guiteau and his religious fan- aticism were spoken of. It was said that the | hideous assassin attempted to cloak his foul deed under the wing of religion. No tragedy of such importance was ever before enacted. In it all is to be recognized Divine sovereignty and the hand of God. Let us return to God, tor He hath smitten and He will build us up. The will of the people should not be confounded with the will of Almighty God. It was the will of Almighty God that he should die. There have been sins which might have led to the tragedy. There has been a looking to the will of the people as the jury, instead of to the will of Almighty God. ‘The former has been placed above the latter. National legislators have held themselves as responsible to the peo- ple alone. The Bible has been in many cases put out of the public schools. There has been no teaching of the Scriptures. Divorce may be ob- tained without cause and without trouble. Pro- fane men, voted for contrary to human policy and divine law, have been sent to Washington to represent Christian people, and they have been voted for by Christian people. The Mormon church—a national pl: and disgrace—has been tolerated. Instead of praying for Presi- dent Garfield's recovery, that church prayed that he might die. Another national crime has been the treatment of the Indians. Infidelity has been allowed in the most public places to blas- heme the Lord and the Christianfaith. Andthe Lord haschastened the peopleaccordingly. There must be reformation. “There must be a turning aside from evil to righteousness. ‘The tears of a nation will never move the heart of God if they continue in their eyil The example and death of the noble dead hag served to oblit- erate party lines. ‘There are no factions.

C., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1881. IMPRESSIVE SERVICE AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The little Christian church, on Vermont ave- nue, which President Garfield attended, was the scene, this morning, of a most impressive ser- vice. Many persons in the city, not recular wor- shippers at other churches, found their way to this unpretentious building, and joined with the members in prayer and humiliation. So the church was well filled. Over the doors and front windowsof the churcharesimple festoons of black cloth. Within, theeye was attracted at once to a pew, mageconspicuous both becanse no onesought to intrudeavithin its sacred limits, and by the sombre folds of black, which covered it com- pletely. The pew is in the corner, near the pul- pit. In front of it was placed an easel aring a picture of James A. Garfield, framed with a deep border of black. Some loving hands had hung a wreath of evergreens and roses over the picture, and the light, which came in from the window just over the sable- draped pew, seemed to play about the picture and the flowers, and to give to all an unwonted glory. This was all that could be seen unusual in the church, save a basket of roses that rested on the preacher's desk. “He used to lean his head against that window,” said a member who sat next to THE Star reporter. “It was there Guiteau came to shoot him, but changed his mind for fear he would hurt some one else.” The services were simple inthe extreme, but none the less impressive. When the honest prayer—the words of homely praise and genuine sorrow—were uttered there were few in the house who could sit with tearless eye. Mr. Wm. H, Schell opened the services with an inyocation and then gave out the hymn, “There is 2 land of pure delight.” Such sing- ing as that is not often heard. It was sung by the congregation, who took the key from a melodeon, and as the hundred voices swelled and died away it seemed as thou: strove to speak its love and grief, hope in the music. To members of some wealthier congregation blessed with a fine organ and _ artistic choir, who might have strolled into the little church this morn that little hymn gave a revelation of what coi gregational singing really means, and worshippers say that in former days the voice of Gartield,—clear, sonorous, grand and musical,— could be heard in every hymn, imparting to the song much of his own cherry strength and life. The song over, Elder H. Russell, of Missouri, an elderly man, with hoary beard and trembling step, offered a prayer. Tne 27th Psalm was then read, in responses, between Mr. Schell and the meinbers of the con- gregation. “Come ye disconsolate” was sung with beautiful eftect by Mrs. Chadsey, soprano, and Mr. J. T. Hall, alto, the congregation joining in the chorus. Elder Russell then spoke. His style was plain and unadorned, except now and then, catching an inspiration from his theme, his words rang with a thrilling eloquence. He said that he had been preaching over 35 years, but had never written a sermon. He addressed his hearers as “fellow-citizens.” The time had never been, he said, when our people felt that they wanted a strong man for President more than they did now—a man who knew the Tight and dared do it—who by the sweet waters ot love and benevolence could quench the fres burning in our body plitic. We want a Pres- ident that has all the characteristics ofa chris- tian—courage, temperance, brotherly kindness— and such a man, we were sure we had in James A. Garfield. He is not dead,thes ker said. He lives. He has simply been called to a brighter mansion in the courts celestial. He prayed to d to help us to be “Asthe mantle of jah fell upon ha,” said the speaker. “So may the mantle of James A. Gartield fall upon Chester A. Arthur, and as Elisha had a double portion of the spirit of h, So, in wisdom and goodness, may our present President have a double portion of the spirit of Garfleld. Let us rememberthis injunc- tion: ‘Speak not evil of the ruler of the people.” He urged that the prayers of loyal people be thrown around Arthur as they had been about Garfield. Let him feel i Let him be assured that we President. Let us hold up his ‘We love you and God will love ‘ou, 80 far as you continue in right and goodnes the speaker spoke in broken accents of the sor- row of the people, even of the little children he had met—and pointed to Garfield’s noble life as something they should all profit by. Mr. Schell then spoke. After speaking of the brighter home to which Garfield had gone, he said: ‘We have draped the seat where he sat so often. There he leaned his head against the casement; there he bowed in prayer, and his voice united with ours in hymning the praises of the lamb.” Whatever vile pens have written about him, said the speaker, they could never shake the confidence of this church in the integ- ity and christianity of James A. Garfield, and it is because we feel as we do that we can so willingly surrender him into the arms of Jesus. The speaker said he believed that there would come some good to the world from the sacrifice that had been made; that we shall be blessed for it.
