Church there was a large congregation. The sermon was by Rev. Dr. Naylor, the presiding elder of the Washing- ton district. His theme was “Our Country. A Sacred Trust.” Thetext he selected was Matt xxii: 20, “Whose image of thecustom in foreign countries of stamping the coin with the heads of kings and of the meta- phorical figure of the f eagle in ourown country H.R Navton. he sketched the great- ness of this nation in her resources and said that this was God's country, and God's country demands a godly people. ‘They should have an intelligent belief in equal human rights. This sentiment since the enunciation one hundred and fifteen years ago that all men were created free and equal had met with reviling and cen- sure from an aristocracy of blood. It wasa new departure and the men who gave it didnot appreciate its fullness. ‘They grasped the meaning when bringing men down to the level, but overlocked the better meaning of uplifting the down-trodden and giving freedom to the enthralled. Nine decades had to pass before the nation comprehended the full meaning. Such a trust demands a citizen who enter- tains a sacred regard for the law and law was man’s best friend, a terror only to evil-doers, and obedience to law is the nation’s pulse. While all laws wore not equitable there should beasacred regard for themand if unequal there was a way by which they could be blotted from the statute books. While there they should be revered. Such a régard for law would create and enforce a high esteem for the rights of others. A REGARD FOR LAW. The carrying of concealed weapons, the cause of the quarrels and shooting affairs with which the daily papers are filled, would then be done away with, lynch law, a relic of barbarism, would be biotted out, and this higher ideal would result in greater care being taken in creating laws. T'olicy and party would be for- gotten amid the responsibility of equitably dis: ensing justice to 60,000,000 human beings. aw-making would not then be simply a adjusting machine, dividing places of honor or | i profit or studying ways and means for eelf- perpetuation. “Civil service would then be- come anarm of the government and peace, plenty, economy. equality, industry aad Chris- tian civilization fill the land with happy homes and a joyous, contented, patriotic people. WE LACK REVERENCE. No nation lacks reverence more than we. While the church and clergy are respected, we hardly reverence cither, and we as svon hustle clergyman ina crowd as any one clse and as soon run into achurch ina shower as into ware house. But little respect is shown to law mukers, and if one fails to secure a position for an applicant he is threatened that another shall take his poo, foxgeniag tht the, eouste i large as it is, is’ not capacious enough to suppl ach of the voters of either of the partics wit! position, and that ihe one who worthily rep- resents his constituency could have had a much easier time and become rich much faster if he had remained at home. ‘The best, wisest and broadest citizens should be chosen for law makers and toexecute the lnws, and they should receive the protoundest respect and most sacred allegiance. CHARACTER OF OUR EDUCATION. There is no lack of what is called education here, but much, he feared, was not more than a species of top dressing. One has said of the character and most general result of the edu- cation is a distaste for manual labor. There are some good schouls, but some teachers and principals of high schools say that education should raise the pupils above drudgery, and American workshops are being emptied of America's sons and American acres are being given to sons of foreigners. He gave it asa thought that the netion that is too weak and too proud to de its own toiling cannot have life enough to live at all. Itcan have but few subtler enemies than that system of education which would separate brain from muscle. It is one of the mischiev- ous pee that helps to dig deeper the gulf which places capital on one cap and toil on the other—one branded monopoly and tyranny and the other waving the red flag of anarchy and communism. A general system of education which appeals to man’s lowest passions and sefl- ishnese, seldom to duty, obligation, patriot- ism or adaptation, is not the system we should ve. Is he a statesman whose thoughts and words and toil and strife are actuated only by what is jed salary? Are they to become creators of equitable laws, exponents of loyalty, &c.. tc do anything (excepting toil) to make a living? COMMON SENSE WANTED. Would that our educational system could be inspired by common sense quite as much as by uncommon sense and that great fundamental treths be taught as easily as are doubtful Propositions. American institutions of learning ought to elevate the curriculum of education far above those of other lands. He had failed to learn why education was confined to the intellect at the expense of the heart; why so much pains and time is givea to dead languages and deader principles, while not an ounce on the great principles’ of purity, rectitude, industry, sobriety, magnanimity’ and patriotism. Edu. cate young men and young women in head only ‘and you send out a class too proud to toil at any hones: calling, but not too proud to steal and to coudescend to almost any other vileness. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. Such a trast demandAmerican citizenship— acitizen who believes in and is loyal to the superintendence of God's providence over us as a nation, There is » demand in this crucial hour for men who implicitly believe and cherish the thought that this heritage is a sacred trust; that ae pores that be are ordered of God. It should be known that there is more of God in our history than Columbus, Washington, Lincoln or Grant. Our citizen ship is too broad to admit of all our acknowl- edgment to second causes. He would re it written ix. the heart of every citizen, “I am a citizen of God’s country,” and would debar such as did not believe so from citizenship, for in the days of Hebrew glory there was no reater enemy than the enemy to Hebrew's od—the blatant, flippant, godless intidels who. come here and talk of free thought and free ¥peech—such have no right here. Aft ting trom Napoleon at the pyran.ids Naylor closed as follows: “From the pyra- innacle of opportunity in which God has placed us we look down on forty centuries yet to come.

Church a sermon on “False National Ideals” from the text: “Righteousness exalteth ‘« nation.”—Prov., xiv, 94 In the course of his sermon he said: “We are thanking God for our national pros- perity. But what is ‘national prosperity? What is it that makes a nation ‘truly great? What isthe ideal which this great American people ought to pursue? Much depends on the answers which the pop- ular mind gives to juestions. Ideas, after 1, rule the world. Ideas, not armies, nor even laws, make’ his- tory and determine the development of the hu- man race. The stand- ardsof value which pre- vail among the people, the conceptions which they form of what is truly admirable and de- sirable, in a word, ideais which ' shine in’ their firmament, these are the mightiest making DR. KIN. and moiding forces of national life, and it 1s before all things impor- tant that they should be high and noble and pure. Now, many influences in this age and in this land conspire to lower our standards and de- base our ideas. For example, it is to be feared that in the popular mind Bigness is mistaken for Greatness. Americe is big, therefore it is great Chicago is, big, therefore it is great. t, Paul is bigger than ‘Minneapolis, therefore itis greator. Cities engagedin force and bitter tivalry as to which of them contains the bigger populat if that determined which of them should be the greater. And 60, ona larger area, we boast of the vast increase of our population from one decade to another, a8 if t settled our advance in the scale of great- ness among the nations of the earth. A MODERN ILLUSTRATION. To prick this popular fallacy it ought to be enough to remember that China, whose civili- zation we despise, is the most populous nation globe: and, on the other hand, that Greece and Palestine, when proceeded the mightiest intellectual an ritual move- ments of history, were territorially and numer- ly contemptibly small. Yes, the land which Homer and Sophocles to poetry, Pericles and Praxiteles to sculpture, Therodotus and Thucydides to history, Plato and Aristotle to philosophy, Alexander to warand Leonidas to pa- triotism, was in territorial extent insignificant, measuring not more than 250 miles in greatest pee and 180 miles in greatest breadth and embracing a territory smaller than Portugal. And Palestine, the land of Abraham and Moses, of David and Isaiah, of Paul and Jobn, which gave the Bible to literature and Jesus Christ to history, could all have been laid down between Washington end Philadelphia. And yet we, citizens of this free America, with the vioume of history cpen before us, continue to pat forward the bigness of our territory, and 6 bignéss of our population, in proof of our greatness among the nations of the earth! As well decide between the claims of Napoleon and Wellington, of Cesar and Alexander to the palm of military genius by ascertaining and comparing their respective weights. WEALTH NOT THE PROPER STANDARD. Equally falee is the standard of wealth asa note of national or individual greatness.- Here we teach one of the most vital and fundamental delusions of our age. I affirm that the aggre- gate material wealth of our country is no sure evidence by which to judge even of its material prosperity. For if, ax some careful observers aflirm, our country is growing richer, not by the genera: increment of wealth among the people, but by the aggregation of wealth in the hands of the few, while the average wealth among the masses is decreasing. If, in a word, the true reading of our economic con- dition is that the rich are growing richer and the poor are growing poorer, and that the gen- eral body of our people are finding life a harder struggle than before, then the increase of aggre- gate wealth does not denote prosperity, even when we measure it by the pureiy material standard. Prof. Cairnes writing of Great Britain re- marked “‘a constant growth of national capital with s nearly equally constant decline in the proportion of capital which goes to su port productive labor,” and he sawas secret of this state of things a harsh separati of classes, combined with those glowin regularities in the distribution of wealth which most people will agree are among the elements of our social instability. That the sams is true in our own country may be inferred from the following facts. In Massachusetts the average working man is unable to support his family at wages, so that one-third of the burden of support must be borne by the labor of his wife and children. In Iilinois carefully collected statistics show that one-half of the intelligent working men ure not even abls to earn enough for their daily bread, and have to depend upon the labor of women and children to eke out their miserable existence.” In Pennsylvania there are heads of little children of all ages from six years upward work in the coal breakers, toiling in dirt and air thick with carbon dust from dawn to dark of every day in the week except Sunday. These coal breakers are the only school they know, and there are no schools in the world where more evil is learned or more innocence de- stroyed. Put side by side with these facts the state- ment that ten or twelve of the Wall street kings made (in the year 1880) about $80,000,000 and we see how false is the conclusion that the increase ot wealth necessarily indicates an in- crease of even material prosperity. ButIgo farther than this and affirm that material wealth, even if equitably distributed, is alow and inadequate standard of national greatness. It is conceivable that the poorest nation might be the greatest, aud the richest nation the meanest, in the world. Wealth does not increase power, and if physical force were the true criterion of greatness, then con- ceivably the richest nation "might, in this age, when war i expensive, be greates it coul build the 4 navy and enlist and equi army. Butit ought to be an axiom with intei- ligent people that greatness, true greatness, has no necessary relation to physical force. ‘The poet's words should find an echo in the heart of every patriot: “By the soul only the nations shall be greut'and free.” “ROMSIBILITIES OF EVIL. Surely on this day of national thanksgiving it ig well that/the pulpit should nutter its warn- ing against a danger sc menacing and so momentous of possibilities of evil! Wealth in iteelf is not an cvil. It may, and it ought to, minister to life, to it, to enrich its culture, to open doors of knowledge and of de- yelopment otherwise closed.

HONOR TO THE FLAG Rev. Frank Sewall Preaches @ Sermon on Loyany. The Rev. Frank Sewall, at the Church of the Holy City, Dupont circle, chose for his Thanks giving day theme the need of the American na- tional spirit and how tocultivate it. Taking for his text the words, “If I forget thee, Jerusa- Jom, let my right hand forget its cunning,” he proceeded to speak of the love of country as next in importanceas an element of character to love to God. “People with no country ties lack always the Proud inspiring motives of living fur something outside of themselves and they lack the delight that comes of feeling oneself a part of a larger life. The whole spiritual community of souls is called the kingdom of God; heaven is de- jicted as a country and loyalty to God has its t type in loyalty to one’s native land. ‘Render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar’s and unto God the things that are God's’ is our Lord’s word to those who would betray Him into some expression of con- tempt for nationality in the face of God's wider claim on mankind; as if to say that each is necessary to the other; that no man can be traly loyal to God who is not loyal to his country nor truly loyal to his country who is not loyal to God.” : _ EESSONS OF HISTORY. Among the means of strengthening the na- tional sentiment among ourselves may be men- tioned the study of our own national history, the gathering and preserving of monuments and rites of interest and the preserving of local cothmemorating by monuments and anniversaries the great heroes of our nation's career; the organization of such societies as the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution; familiarizing of your youth with the gems of an American patriotic literature, such ‘as the poems of Longfellow and Lowell and the speeches of Webster and Clay and Everett. bably no man in the country has this senti- ment and the need of cultivating it more deeply at heart than the present President of the United States, aud it becomesall truly loyal Americans tc favor and second the worthy efforts he is making in this direction. No one could have heard his addresses to the people of the various states of the Union on his visit to the south and the Pacific without feeling that the speeches came from and appealed to a senti- ment wider than that of any single state or sec- tional or party interest. He spoke of the chief of.a great people devoted to their common service and was listened to with the respect and love which individuals owe to the nation’s head. In the Thanksgiving proclamation which heart warm with the glow of a true national spirit. Tne President reminds every Ameri- can citizen of the duty of thanksgiving to God “for the preservation of those institu- tions of civil and religious liberty which He gave our fathers the wisdom to devise and er tablish and us the courage to preserve.” May we not send up with our thanksgiving a prayer to God that He will still give us courage to preserve this precious heritage of the past; that in the sordid love of of wealth and the glorying in material pros- perity we do not a the high ideals and Sterling virtues that formed the basis of our life as @ republic, and that alone can make our nation great in other senses than in extent and Population. May we not forget that peace as its dangers for a nation even greater than war: that a listless, selfish indiffer- ence to the purity our = legis- lation and the abandonment of the reins of government to bad men whose business it is to rive on our negligence, and our tacit con- sent tothe principle that private interest is the only means of securing any public measure, that this is the secret enemy in our midst. It has been a taint = older nations whose national spirit has been cultivated by the bloody wars, labors and other sacrifices of many centuries that America has not a truc na- tionality and hencecan have no national spirit— no patriotism in a true sense; that we are a mere accidental gathering of adventurers from other nations 1 in a common scramble for wealth and cultivating politics as a means of making money; that no man knows anything about love, veneration or devotion to the nation as a unit, to the common good, a common giory; that our career has been too short, our population too diversified and our aims too selfish to allow for the growth of any high nationa! ideals, any patriotism in the true old sense. The war of the rebellion did some- thing to remove this impression. But that is fitting to be a thing of the pest. How can we it disprove the truth of such a charge as ap- plying to the present time? Grand Army en- campments, world’s fairs, an increased navy, are ull useful in their way, but the troubie is they are like formal parades, gotten up for occasions, and are not the spontaneous expres- sion of every-day sentiment. THE PATRIOTISM THAT THRILLS. What we want is that constant love of country and zeal for her honor and good name that would make our hearts thrill every day atthe sight of our national emblems, that would prompt us, following cur President's dignified example, to stand up when our national anthem is playe ind that our netional flag should be regarded as something else than a pretty wall decoration; that it means a call to every youth aud every citizen of the country for loyal service in time of peace no less than in time of ith our patriotism, of which the flag is the glorious symbol. It should never be allowed to touch the ground of sordid, mean and nar- row sentiments. We should never think of our country as a means of our privateadvancement or fain, but of our country as the neighbor God has given us to serve and to honor our. selves in serving. ‘An idea seems to have prevailed among us Americans that unless we bave # great war on hand or are celebrating the memorics of a war wedo not need any patriotic spirit, or that it is enough if when the country wants soldiers there shall be a big army. forthcoming, and that meanwhile we have only to forget that we are a nation and think of ourselves only as 60 many individuals,each striving to push his own interests to the utmost, and to spare as little time and trouble as possible for any common national necessities.

THE CHURCH OF THE COVENANT. The President Listens to an Excellent Ser- mon by Rev. Dr. Bartlett. The President attended divine service this | morning at the Church of the Covenant at 11 | o'clock. The church was ervwded, both Dr. Hamlin’s congregation and that of Dr. Bartlett | of the New York Avenue Church being pree- | ent. The sermon was delivered by Dr. Bart-| lett. The President was accompanied by Mrs. Har- rison, Dr. Scott and Mrs. Dimmick. A number of other distinguished people were present. The services were begun shortly after 1 o'clock by an invocation by Dr. Hamlin, who then read the President's proclamation setting aside today as the day of thanksgiving. Hymn 1171 was sung and the 44th lesson of the psalter was read, followed by hymn 123. Dr. Hamlin read the 100th psalm, and the children of the Washing- ton City Orphan Asylum sang a hymn. Dr. Hamlin offered prayer, giving thanks for bless- ingsand benefits conferred upon the world, and the offering was taken up. to be divided equally between the orphan asylum and the Woman's Christian Association. After the thankagiving hymn (1151) had been sung Dr. Hamlin introduced Dr. Bartlett, who announced hir text as coming from the fifth verse of the 100th psalm, “God is good.” | This phrase, he said, is a corner stone, | lnid at the ‘foundation of all things. Au- dacity, however, has even challenged this, but it may be said that if the Lord be not good there is no occasion for gratitude and we have no quality to respond to his goodness. Grati- tude is the least that anyone could give. You | cannot be grateful to a law of nature or to an order of things, and therefore God is per- sonal, nor can you be grateful for that for which you have paid an equivalent, and there- fore God is good. Today is the world’s Sab- bath, and should be given the world’s treat- meni. NATIONS ATTEST THAT GOD 18 GOOD. = The speaker said that he wished to show that not only is God good, but human society up to date has suid so. Men in nations and gov- ernments have registered that fact today, and we have thus crossed the line to further truth and « higher development. Nations have registered the fact that they believe that God is good, and nations are truly called great individuals,great, igantic personalities on the face of the earth. icy boll intercourse with cach other, and works that have bee written on international law and comity have registered a work of dis- tinct and steady progress toward goodness and | Kindness and a respectable relationship. ‘Sis jhas produced arbitration and has ought nearer that state that Rousseau sic¢hs for he wished that nations were but majestic gen- tlemen. Nations are filled with soul and intel- lect, massing it all to assume a kindly and proper relationship toward each other. With all the intercriticism going on between them, they are all moving toward more kindness and @ belief in the righteousness, purity and good- ness of Dr. Bartiett painted an amusing picture of an international tea party, where each nation gossips about its neighbor, and he gave » clever idea of the misconceptions that have heretofore existed among civilized ples as to their neighbors. He finished off his sketch by citi the case of the Russian bear, the British bull dog and the French frog, chattering against the iniquities of the United States, ignorant of the true con- ditions here and unjust in their misappreben- sions. ethe though! that the day for this ‘was passing and nations were becoming more Sharltable to each other. All these crimes that are talked about by enemies are diseases that have been diagnosed, criminals that are to be tried, condemned and executed and the reme- dies are near at hand. — WHAT ATHEISM 18. Atheism is but an irrationa! inference of a diseased mind allied to anarchy, producing stagnation aud therefore uaturally impossible. There would be no order on earth if there be no God in heaven. ‘The frog never croaks un- leas there is rain, and plenty in the fields and rich harvests, and banpinest all round. The croak of the pessimist is but an expression fear that things are not going to the bad, as he would wish. The social life of the world also indicates the belief that God is good. The tendency to invention carries the same conviction. railroad was savagely attacked upon its intro- duction as an agent of evil. It may carry a thief, but it carries w great men, It is a many more good fallacy that’ inventions “are aids to. the devil. There is nothing. however, that some men have resented more than invention. There need be no more fear that invention—which is but the free exereise of the mind in controllis the physical conditions of the earth—will w harm than that the earth and Venus will get to coquetting with each other. Art is also an agent of good. It has never been so fine nor so widespread,and the painter's brush 1s today one of the greatest of evange- lista, Music, that marvelous undefined art, that wordless conveyer of ideas, that guides its fringe of flame along the margin of where time breaks into eternity. is a powerful influence in convincing the world that there is a God and that He is good. ~ GREATER PRIVILEGES FOR WOMEN. Among the indications that the world is better Dr. Bartlett mentioned the fact that women have today greater privileges.
