PATRIOTISM AND RELIGION. —— Today, in accordance with annual custom and in compliance with the suggestions of the President's Thanksgiving proclamation, people gathered in their places of worship and gave thanks for the blessings the na- tion has enjoyed. The attendance at the services, which were held in accordance with the announcements in yesterday's Star, was, as a rule, good. In a number of church- es union services were held, the congrega- tions of several churches joining in one service. The minister, as is customary, dis- cussed the affairs of the nation. The Pres- ident attended the Thanksgiving service at the Central Presbyterian Church, where sev- eral Presbyterian congregations united and Dr. Sunderland preached. hd A SEVERE ARRAIGNMENT. Bishop Hurst Denounces the Anti- | Chinese Policy of the Government. | __Bishop Hurst preached at the Foundry M. | E. Church, corner of 14th and G streets. | His text was from Jeremiah, 19:7-10, and | his topie was “Every nation is the arbiter | of its own destinies.” He scored the gov- |ernment severely for its anti-Chinese pol- | icy. The lesson that the prophet teaches, | he said, is that every nation bears an in- dividual responsibility for its privileges and | its opportunities. No nation has the right | to claim that it has a mission to which it | \is inevitably pledged and which it is sure | to fulfill, whatever be its course, whether vicious or righteous, National responsi- bility, he went on, is entirely different from | that of the individual citizen, who, in the | rewarded according to the life he has led |in this world, where his condition often bears little harmony with his merit.

Monsignor Francis oll, the apostolic | delegate to the United States, presided at ‘the solemn high mass at St. Church this morning. The church was crowded to the doors when a procession, composed uf a committee from the Young Men’s Catholic Club, gentlemen from the | parish and the Gonzaga College cadets, ar- rived as honorary escort to the papal dele- gate. Monsignor Satolli was attired in an elabo- rate robe of purple, betokening his rank as an | archbishop. In his hand he carried a small missal. Monsignor Sbarretti was also at- | tired in purple, while Dr. Papi wore surplice | and cassock. When the party arrived at the church, the sanctuary boys met them at the door, and the procession moved slowly toward the sanctuary.

Dr. Stakley Talks of the Christian's Duty to Civil Authority. All the Baptist churches, with the excep- tion of the Metropolitan and Grace church- es, united in a union service at the Calvary Church, Sth and H streets. The music was furnished by the Calvary Church choir, and the pastors of the various churches assisted in the services. ‘The sermon of the day was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Stakely, pastor of the First | Baptist Church, who after a few prelimina- | great day of rewards, will be punished or | | indeed, are the men who are rewarded or ' Hence we find that nations are continually | He does not adopt the | He is an elien, wherever he | in this cguntry | Yet the Chinese gov- | ng war upon ; this great iniquity and escape the danger | ry remarks on the propriety of observing such a day as Thanksgiving, announced as his subject “The civil side of our Christian Nfe,” d>awing it from the words of Christ in Matthew, xxii, 21: “Render therefore un. to Caesar the things which are Caesar’ Caesar, the doctor said, stood for the civil power as distinguished from the spiritual, and was recognized by the Savior as a part of the economy of God. After which the doctor discussed his text and the matter belonging to it under the following divi- sions: 1, the position of “Caesar” in the Christian system; 2, the claims of “Caesar” upon the Christian conscience and life; he Christian fulfillment of obligation to ‘aesar.”” In speaking of the position of Caesar, or the civil power, in the Christian system, Dr, Stakely said: “The attempt was frequently made to en- trap our Lord by an adroit application, the Possible response to which on his part would commit him to one side or another of some religious or political question of the time. On this occasion his enemies, the Pharisees and Herodians, felt that’ they would place Him between ‘two fires, so that He must burn himself whichever way He turned. ‘Master,’ said they to him through their representatives, ‘we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man, for thou regurdest not the pezson of men; tell us therefore what thinkest thou. Is it law- ful to pay tribute unto Caesar or not” If He replied in the affirmative, the Pharisees could charge him with subverting the com- mon teaching that according to the divine law it was wrong for the people of God to pay tribute to a gentile power, also with playing into the hands of the Roman gov- ernment, from which the people expected the Messiah to deliver them; if in the nega- tive, the Herodians could charge him with sedition and haye him brought before the Roman authorities for punishment. But Jesus, perceiving their evil mctive, demand- ed of them a Roman coin, and, holding it up before them all, asked, ‘Whose is this image and superscription? and upon their answering, ‘Caesar's,’ He said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things j , that are God’s.’ Finding themselves foiled, | {and that completely, the would-be entrap- pers, marveling, left his presence, and went their way. The Two Sovereignties. “In this profound and far-reaching reply our Lord recognized the proper existence in the world of two sovereignties, the spir- {tual and the political, both operating by the will of God, and each worthy of all re- Spect in its appointed sphere. Civic govern- ment, then, founded as it is upon law and policy, is an institution of Almighty God, | to be recognized and’ honored as such. It is not meant that every law is of God, or that every policy receives the Divine sanc- ton, but that government as an institution (comes from, belongs to and is upheld by the Lord God of heaven and earth. Our Lord said nothing about forms of civil gov- ernment or the personnel of civil adminis- trations. He had been acquainted with dif- ferent styles of government in the history of his own people, and when He spoke the words, ‘Render, therefore, unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's,’ the man who ruled at Rome was Tiberius, a profligate and a despot. At a later day, when the apostle to the gentiles, expounding the ut- terance of our Lord, exhorted his brethren in Rome to ‘be subject unto the higher powers,’ on the ground that ‘the powers that be are ordained of God,” the Roman emperor was the infamous Nero. Civil gov- | ernment as such is to be recognized in our thought, in our theology, in our politics | and in our life, together with the family and the church, as a minister of God, or- dained to accomplish the will of God when operating within the sphere of its own le- gitimate functions. Hence all lawlessness is sin as well as crime, and every phase of anarchism, whether it shows itself posi- tively in attempts to destroy government or negatively in refusing to respond to the proper demands of government, is against God as well as Caesar or the state. The civil power is thus positioned in the best conception of Christianity, and citizenship, or life under the civil power, is a sacred trust hedged around and sealed with the holiest sanctions of the same. Reverence for Civil Authority. The second and third divisions of the in- teresting subject were treated in the same general style, the points being taken up in regular order to the close, with practical application of the subject to every-day Christian life. Dr. Stakely said that Chris- tian people ought to be the very best of citizens, being particular to remember the | government in their daily prayers, to cul- | tivate sympathy for the government in its | arduous and trying duties, to encourage and develop reverence for civil authority and | obedience to civil law. Christian people should, in the spirit of Christ, set them- | selves against every form of violation or evasion of law—in a word, set a holy and consistent example in all the relations of life, including those of citizenship. GOD IN GOVERNMENT. | nev. Dr. Thomas C, Easton Recounts Causes for National Thankfalness, At the Metropolitan Presbyterian Chu:ch, 4th and B streets southeast, a union service | | was held participated in by Presbyterian, Baptist, Christian and Methodist Protes- tants of Eest Washington, including the | astern Pzesbyterian Church, the Metro- politan and Grace Baptist Churches, the Ninth Street Christian and the North Caro- | lina Avenue Methodist Protestant Church. | Dr. Thomas C. Easton of the Eastern Church delivered the sermon from the text | Psalm 147, 12-20: “He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates and blessed thy chil- dren within thee.” This psalm, the preach- er said is one of the harvest songs of an- cient Israel. It is a noble recognition of the sovereignty of God in nature, and sway of His scepter in all national affairs. This thought runs like a thread of gold through 2 silver web most emphatic and prominent in the divine record. The supernatural is the law of the Bible and keynote of all the mysteries in the univesse. We are living in an era when the true doctrine of nationality | | Rev. Dr. Easton. must be understood. The governments of the world are but aggregations of men, hence a nation can no more be atheistic and hope for prosperity and permanence than the individual. Let us then consider. What is the nation? Our grounds for Thanksgiving as a nation. The elements es- sential to secure the perpetuity of our free institutions. The nation is not a mere civil compact to maintain private interests and o-der by police. It is not a mere economic arrange- ment grounded in physical needs and banc ed together for the protection of life, prop- erty and commercial welfare. But the na- tion is the responsible creature of God. He makes, gath and destroys nations, for He is their sovereign. It is a vast moral organism which has its own personal iden- lity, conscience and responsibility. It has a conscious life which appears in its institu- tions, literatures, la’ arts, sciences and personnel. By the vezy law of its existence, it enters into the everlasting moral conflict betwten righteousness and iniquity, which always decides the fate of kingdoms and republics. Aristotle taught that “the end of the state is not only to live, but to live no- bly." The German writer, Hegel, says: “There is one ccnception in religion and the state that it exists for the highest well be- | | den, ;on our | our nat and our greatness becomes a solemn trust in view of our accountability to God. The valid grounds of our devout thanks- giving were then most graphically enumer- ated by the preacher, such as our strength by national position, geographically, the in- crease of population and multiplied wealth. Men are watching more carefully the sub- tile and fickle fluctuations of capital, and there is less of wild speculation and ‘more of calm thoughtful investment. Public in- telligence becomes greater every year, and ignorance, the old iconoclast of republics, has no place among us as a people. A school boy of twelve years today knows more about political science than his grand- father knew at fifty. Then this year be- comes memorable in our history by reason of the Columbian exposition to commemo- rate the landing of the gallant Columbus on these shores. What othe: nation on the face of the giobe equaled ours in the dis- play of inventive genius, mechanics, arts and sciences. America led all the king- doms of the world in wealth of products, minerals and industries. Then its great Congress of religions, bringing all faiths and systems face to face, will result in a| marvelous growth of conviction as to the! secret of our national greatness. Buddhism stood confronting the Bible, Confucianism looked Christ in the face and Hindooism saw the power of the Holy Ghost in Moody's gzeat harvest of regenerated souls. The Christian seed sown in that parliament of creeds held the life of God in it as its germ and will hasten millennium! The awful crime of slaying Carter Harri- son was even overzuled for good seen in the re-election of Judge Gary, and the defeat of | the schemes of the truculent catspaw of anarchism, Gov. Altgeldt. Dynamite is at a great discount now in Chicago. Then look at our harvests this year. While Great | Britain has a deficit of 185,000,000. bushels | of wheat, and France a deficit of 47,000,900, | and Austria of 10,000, and so with all) Europe, we can boast of a surplus of 6Y,- | 518,000! This we must export to the fam-| ishing abroad. The elements making our, future strength secure were these: Sound home legislation, true conceptions of char- acter, education of the young in the Amer-| ican system of government, preserved pub- le school system untouched by papal influ- ence, and the power of the Holy Ghost in all ou> churches. Wealth must be conse- crated to extend the kingdom of Christ. ‘The destruction of faith will ring the death knell of the republic. We must preserve a free school, a free press, a free Bible and a free church. CHURCH DOMINATION WII Not, According to Rey. Dr. Sun- derland, Be the Mark of the New Ei The pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Sunderland, delivered the Thanksgiving sermon at the Central Pres- byterian Church, and I streets, before a congregation composed of the members of. the First, Fourth, Central and Assembly churches. He chose as his text Ezekiel, 12. “He prophesieth of the times far off.” He spoke mainly about Dr. Strong’s book, “New Era,” that has attracted such wide attention: The book, he said, is a powerful photograph of many things in the history of the church and the world and of the present conditions and the future pros- pects. Yet he disagreed wholly with its conclusion that there is an era coming that shall be marked by church domination and general beneficence. “When we dream of 4 complete and perfected human race in a complete and perfected environment,” he | itwv. Dr. Sunderland. said, “and then we think of the condition of the moral and religious world as we see it before our eyes, the view from a human point of view is decidedly pessimistic, and must either be that the church is a failure or that her mission is quite different from What is claimed to be in the ‘New Era.” ‘The world can no longer be priest-rid- " he went on. “Society laughs at ec- clesiastical domination, and in that laugh- ter we hear the menace not to church dig- nitaries alone,but tothe only gospel that can save a human soul.” Dr Sunderland dis- claimed any fondness for pessimism, and said that there was a vast amount to be thankful for in these days. “Meanwhile the sweet angels of charity and kinship have lingered like the ‘man of sorrows’ among the abodes of human misery, and today as by a national impulse, under proc- lamation, unnumbered families will come back to the old homesiead freighted with tender and sacre1 memories of the by-gone and departed. Tales of old lang syne will be repea the children of poverty and misfortune will see a gleam of sun-| ine cro x the darkness of their lone- y and troubied life. In the places of wor- ship a few in whose hearts still beat the pulses of a simple and sincere religion will gather in acknowledgment of the Divine goodness, and will render up to the Father of Lights a tribute of praise and thanks- giving for the countless tokens of His favor.” WRITTEN ON THE GATEPOSTS, Rev. Mr. Sewnll Contrasts the First Thanksgiving Day With the Present. | The Frank Sewall, at the Church of | the Hely City, Dupont Cirele, taking for his text, “It is a good thing to give thanks | to the Lord,” drew comparison between the ancient Jewish “Feast of Ingathering at the | nd of the Year” and an American Thanks- | ie constructed tents of pine and olive boughs in the yard before their doors and on their ho ps, and in the great court of the temple. There were solemn ser- | vices in the temple during each day; the sily irumpets were sounded twenty-one times, and appropriate Psalms were sung: great lamps were hung in the temple court, which were lighted at night, and the peo- j i with singing and dancing.

Shall we “for- Savior,” and “having torn down to build greater?” Shall we say fake thine ease; eat, drink merry? we forget the warn- ing, “This night thy soul shail be required of thee; then whose shall those things be?” Shall we forget that many a great and wealthy nation before us on the world’s long history has gone down through vices of luxury and ill-used riches, and abuse of power, into poverty dreary and oblivious?

IN THE BOYHOOD STAGE. | slow | 4,004 years before Christ. jen, ing of mai Cromwell's famous secretary, John Milton, said: “A nation ought to be a huge pe*sonage, one mighty growth of an honest man, as large and compact in Nirtwe » as in one body, for what are the grounds and causes of happiness and misery in one man, the same shall be found true in a great nation.” The leading political scien- tists, such as Maurice, Rothe, Stahle and Elisha Mulford have all maintained these views against the gross mate-ialism of Haekel. Goodness and greatness is not the measure of a nation’s grandeur,strength and permanence. The perpetuity of our Shedienge ‘and reverence of God's "word, | £0F the Lord must be exceedingly magnitl- |The measure of our responsibility is our | cal of fame and glory throughout all coun- rich endowments of intelligence and power, | tries. I will therefore make preparation for The World Will Some Day Come to a Divine Manhood. The members of All Souls’ Unitarian | Church united with the congregation of the | Church of Our Father, Universalist, in a service. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Rush R. Shippen, the pastor of All Souls’, The speaker chose as his text, Ist Chron. 22:5, ‘David said, Solomon, my son, is young and tender; and the house that {fs builded it. So David prepared abundantly.” Amid wilderness and poverty Thanksgiving day began in the gratitude of the pilgrim fa- thers. Even with hard times we have in- finitely more to be grateful for. The ten- dency is to thank God for favors gone. Let us today thank Him for the cheering Promise of the coming time. David was preparing a palace for the King of Heaven that should be exceedingly mag- nifical. It would require to complete it long and faithful years, till his small boy Solo- mon should come to full manhood. The ages are preparing a magnilical temple that humanity is to build for the King of Heaven. Last summer's white city seems a hint of the glory that is to be. Solomon, the small boy, perhaps stupid and wicked, was with his wild vigor full of promise. ’Humanit is a sort of young Solomon, a big, blund ing, stupid, wicked" boy, not wholly gone over to the bad, but rather a young hope- ful, when God and the angels rightly train him to better things. A little fellow of seven or eight, rather to learn, s sharply challenged: “Why are you so stupid?” Resenting the harsh imputation with a wisdom above his years, the little fellow replied: “I'm not stupid; Iam young.” Impatient with stupid- ities and sins, with blunders and bigotries, we despair at the hopelessness of man. Let the cheering thought encourage us that the human race is very young. Our Bibies head the first pages of Genesis with the date In nature's Bible of God’s own word coral reefs of Florida and the record of the.rocks teach the eye of intelligence to read the date in larger figures. he telescope has pushed off the midnight stars to inconceivable immensities of space; so geology has pushed creation to inconceivable immensities of time. Of these aeons of time, how long, think you, has the human race occupied the planet? His earliest remains found in the ‘Tertiary rocks lead the scientist Hoeckel to assign him only two per cent of the age of our planet. Dr. Brinton sets it at 50,000 years. What is that to Him with whom a thousand ‘S are but as a day when it is past, or as a watch in the night. Fifty thousand years are but an infant's span of fifty days of the great thousand-year days of the Lord. The human race is hardly out of its baby- hood, has hardly got through the measles, whooping cough and other diseases peculiar to childhood. Hardly yet has it learned to walk straight, much less on slippery places to stand erect, to talk with the discourse of the angels or to sing the sweet songs of heaven. How much of the babyhood of bar- barism still lingers all over the globe in superstitions and iniquities of the dark con- tinent and in dark places of our own enlight- ened iand. Even in choicest civilization of old world and new, in palatial homes and churehes of Boston and Washington it seems as if humanity is only a big, rollick- ing boy.hardly yet knowing enough to keep | his hands clean and come to church promp:- ty on time, but smoking cigarettes, just learning to ride bicycle or donkey and iak- ing his primary lessons in art, music and literature. How short the centuries are. ‘Two human lives may touch three centuries. Five per- sons of eighty years each cover the four centuries since Columbus opened the gates of the new world. Four such would go back to Martin Luther and three to the pilgrim fathers. A venerable parishioner, recently assed away, remembered the death of shington. Surely, the human race is young, and our republic very young. Since the good father never child, but with infinite patience and hope and with loving solicitations beckons him up and on, let us today be cheered by the assurance that the ill behaved, noisy, sel- fish, stupid, wicked school boy, as yet very youn, will some day come toa divine man- Such general suggestions we may apply on special lines. Through a long babyhood | the race is just beginning to conquer and | possess the planet. The boy is just learning to fly his kite and sail his boat, to use his fingers, and, still better, to use his brain end save his hands. When we think what evolution has done in bringing man from the savagery of the Midway Plaisance to the splendors of the white city it is encouraging to look forward hopefully, thinking of the gicry that is to be. Imagination fails to picture manhood when the wilderness shall be turned into a garden of our God. In the realm of art and social order and ail that we call civiiization humanity ts yet in its boyhood. The boy just begins to carve and paint and sing and play, but will yet learn to tell the truth and do God's will on earth as the angels do it in heaven. Sel- fish and pushing and greedy and grasping, | always Wanting the best apple for himself, | he is ready to trample or cheat his smali brothers, and with all his boasted chivalry hardly gives his sister a fair chance. But the girls are fast winning their way. Schools and colleges and new doors of work are freely opening to her, and the young men must look to their laurels, The coming manhood will adjust capitol and labor by Christ's golden rule, crime and poverty will disappear, every willing soul shall have a fair chance in life. Bellamy has pictured the good time coming with some crudity and much charm. But iong before him Paul described humanity as a grand man, | Where eye and hand and foot are members of each other and all suffer or rejoice to- gether, In religion humanity is very young, with lingering crudities and superstitions of babyhood. Twilight religions, called heath- ill hold seven-eighths of mankind. £ven in Christianity too much heathenism of the dark i lingers. Like its di- Jesus Christ, race will wax ‘ature and grow in favor with God and man. In its diviner for creed and name and form, it will be- come savior of all souls, proclaim the good tidings of the Father's love and sing the angelic chorus,“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will to men.” MENACES TO THE REPUBLIC. Batler Spenks of the Chinese Question and Other Topics. Our Blessings and Our Perils “were the two thoughts of Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler at the Luther Place Memorial Church, sug- gestef by two texts, “Happy is the people Whose God is the Lord,” and “For the spoiling of the poor and the sighing of the needy now will I arise with the Lord.” Our President in appointing a day of na. tional thanksgiving, he said, but voices the al with adoration and praise as we bring our hearts and offerings to the All- er, the God of our fathers and our God. No land is so free as ours, knowledge is nowhere so generally diffused and no peo- ple are more prospered of heaven. The cloud under which we rest today by reason of disturbed finances and depressed indus- tries, with a great army of unemployed ling many hearts and homes with care and sorrow, wili be only temporary; with abundant harvests there is no reasoft why the mines and mills should not yield their rich abundance. The mistaken ballot,which is responsible for the depression, will re- verse its verdict, and bring blessing again to both labor and capital, for they are mutually dependent. Nowhere will you find labor so richly rewarded, nor so many happy homes, with hearts ready to share today with the poor and unfortunate our rich abundance, as under our flag. Every city and hamlet is filled with tender hearts and trained hands giving relief to human woe in its multifarious appeals. The land is full of helpfulness, the rich fruitage of our growing Christian civilization. We need but study our map side by side with the maps of Africa, or Asia, or even Eu- rope or Great Britain, to know how God has exalted us among the nations. The oples of the Orient and of the Occident flow to us in great multitudes instinctive finding here the larger freedom and oppor tunities for which oppressed humanity yants. Leng live America!

Bi sm in politics is being re- buked and with it the saloon, its focal point must go. The sober-minded will throt it in self-defense. Dr. Butler spoke of papal interference with our public schools and with the ballots of our citizens. The bul- warks of the republic, he said, are the God- fearing, Sabbath-keeping,, law-abiding,sober industrious and self-respecting people.

A fifteen-year-old white boy, whose name was given as Louis Almarolia, was in Judge Miller's court this morning. Ap- plication was made to have him committed to the custody of the board of children's guardians. The boy said he had always been told that Mary Almarolia, a colored woman, was his mother. She lives at 116 yland avenue, but she was sent to house, and now her effects have been put on the street. Judge Miller said he thought the boy was hardly this woman's son, as he bears no evidence of having any colored blood in him. He was turned over to the agent of the The Club F
