The closing session of the second conven- tion of the Christian Endeavor Union of the District was held Saturday evening at the Mount Vernon Place Church. Meetings were held yesterday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of the union, but the business sessions came to an end with the closing ex- ercises of the session on Saturday. Rev.F.E. Clark, the founder of the society, was pres- ent at the evening session on Saturday and delivered an address. An outline of the work that was being done by the preliminary committee for 1896 was given by the chairman of the commit- tee, Mr. W. H. H. Smith. It was proposed, he said, to go to Cleveland with the official vote of all of the 100 locai societies, of 150 clergymen, social and religious organiza- tions, and the signatures of over 1,000 bus- iness men, the latter guaranteeing the ex- penses, in advocacy of the claims of this city for the convention. Yesterday afternoon Rev. Mr. Clark spoke to a large audience in the same place on the employed and the unemployed resources of the church. He thought that the Christian Endeavor Society had done a great deal to- ward solving the problem of the unemployed in the churches. He reminded his hearers that they had duties as citizens as well as| Christians. An influence could be exerted in bringing about a better observance of the | Sabbath and in other directions a higher standard of living could be displayed. He then spoke of large and systematic giving and predicted from such a source a greater spread of the Gospel of Christ. The address was earnest and eloquent. Consecration Services. Last evening at 9 o'clock the large audi- including the galleries of the church, was filled to its utmost capacity, This large body of Christian workers engaged in a song service, led by Mr. Percy S. Foster, with Miss Alice Kimball at the organ. Rev. Scott F. Hershey gave a Bible reading. | Mr. W. S, MacArthur, president of the Dis- trict union, then, in a fitting talk, gave the desired the Christian Endeavorers of the city representing their different churches to respond in a body in the consecration serv- | ice by giving a passage of Scripture, singing | a favorite selection, or repeat all or a part of the pledge. ‘The following named churches responded: Methodist Episcopal—Mount Vernon Place, Little Falis, Ryland, Union, Wesley Chapel, Wilson Independent, | Galbraith Zion, Israel, John Wesley Zion, Metropol- itan Zion, Wesley, Metropolitan, St. Paul, Protestant—Central, Congress Street, First, North Carolina Avenue, Christian, Vermont Avenue, Ninth Street, South Washington.

Mr. Clark then asked the presi- dents him in repeating the promise for the com- ing year, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” which was done, all standing. The different members of the lookout, social, strangers, prayer meeting, missionary and other committees of the societies were also requested to stand and repeat an appropri- ate passage of Scripture. The closing hymn, “Blest Be the Tie That Binds,” was sung most heartily, led by Mr. Percy S. Foster. Another selection, “God Be With You Till We Meet Again,” was sung. ees UNITY EN .DIVERSITY. Rev. Dr. McKim’s Sermon Last Even- ing at Epi any on Charch Unity. The theme of an interesting sermon by Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim, the rector of the Church of the Epiphany, at that church last evening, was “Church Unity.” The preach- er referred to the recent address in this city by Prof. Shields of Princeton on this subject and spoke of the widely growing dissatisfaction with the present mutable state of christendom. He referred to the change which had taken place in the Chris- tian consciousness on this subject during the past twenty-one years. He described the views advanced by eminent men at the evangelical alliance in 1873, when it was held that rival denominations and differences are inevitable. Dr. McKim then dwelt upon the fact that Christians are recognizing that not so much the discords of belief as the dis- cords of action constitute a breach in our citadel through which infidelity marches in. He called attention to the immense significance of the action of the Lambeth conference of Anglican bishops in 1883 in responding to the various memorials on the subject of unity presented from differ- ent parts of the church. “No wonder,” he said, “that one of the most accomplished and influential leaders of English Methodism, the Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, declared these proposals of the English and American bishops ‘most gen- erous, most liberal, most Christian.’ They to unity but the ‘inherent parts of the sacred deposit of faith and order,’ the holy Scriptures, the ancient creeds, the two sacraments, and the historic episcopate. And as re- gards the lasi, it is not required that epis- copacy be accepted as a dogma, but as a fact, as a historical fact, without raising any question as to apostolical succession of the validity of non-episcopal orders. Unity in Diversity. “Now, to what kind of Christian unity does this Lambeth declaration plainly point? | The vision which opens before us is not a vision of uniformity, but of unity in di- versity, unity not by crushing out diversity of belief, and divinity of ritual and divers- ity of methods, but unity including divers- ity. “Here lies the wisdom, the statesman- ship, the catholicity of their new position now deliberately taken by the Anglican church. It abandons the futile and fatu- ous attempt to enforce uniformity, so dis- astrously persevered in for so many gen- erations, both by Puritans and church- men. So long as the notion of the neces- sity of uniformity was cherished Chris- tian unity was impossible. Now that it is abandoned, the air is cleared and the Way opened to a common ground. ‘We grant all that good men have claimed for freedom of thought, for divers- ity of ritual, for variance of form, for dif- ferences of opinion, and of worship. But we deny that for any such differentiation there ought to be a separate ecclesiastical organism. We are for pulling down the partition walls between Christians in order that the life of the Spirit, which all pos- sess, may flow freely and without artificial restraint among the members of the one body of Christ.” >. They Gave Away Their Christm: ‘Treat. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As the superintendent of the large Sun- day school of our parish—that of Christ Church, East Washington—I asked the children on the second Sunday before Christmas if, in view of the many in our city who were suffering for food and fuel, they would not much prefer this year to give away their Sunday school Christmas treat rather than receive one. The vote by lifted hands was unanimous to give away and not receive any treat this year. Inclosed is their gift of $38, which please see that it reach and relieve the really necessitous. GILBERT F.

Ross, | board of Commissioners, “tendering | ticipation of the band of the United States | marine corps in the concert which was held | on the 2uth ultimo for the relief of the poor | of the District. “Much of the success of the affair was due to the combined efforts of the three newspapers of the city, which co-operated I desire to express to you my thanks for the work accomplished by your paper, which resulted so satisfactorily Mr. Ross’ letter is as follows: ‘The Com- | missioners of the District of Columbia ten- |der their thanks to you for your public | spirit and courtesy to which they were in- | debted for the participation of the Marine Band in the concert held on the evening of the 20th ultimo in Convention Hall, which netted $3,044.12 for the relief of the poor, and to the success of which the skillful performance of the band essentially con- tributed.” — Opening of a New Episcopal Church. Friday an interesting event occurred in the southeastern section of the city, being the opening for public worship of the new Episcopal Chapel on M street near South Capitol street. The building is very al tractive in appearance. The lower part of the wall ts of blue Potomac stone and the upper portion of brick. The roof is high and pointed. On the front and western angle of the church rise a graceful tower and spire, in the belfry of which a bell is to be placed. While the exterior of the edifice is strikingly pretty, the interior has its own attractiveness. The chancel forms a beautiful feature. It has a star window in the gable, and two side windows at jeither end of the holy table. Close by the chancel stands the baptistry, over which springs a minor arch. At the opposite end of the church from the chancel is a large memorial window of stained glass, erected by Miss Burch in memory of her father. The Sunday school room forms the western section of the interior, and opens’into the auditorium of the church through a line of arches. The building will seat about 400 persons. There are three entrances to the edifice, two of which on M and Half streets lead through the tower to the audi- torium, and the other to the Sunday school rcom. This handsome structure is the Mis- sion Chapel of Christ Church, Navy Yard, and is named St. Matthew. ‘It was built through the zealous efforts of Archdeacon Gilbert F. Williams, rector of the parish, with the hearty co-operation of his faithful vestry and congregation. At the servic last evening interesting addresses, appro- priate to the occasion, were delivered by Archdeacon Williams, the Rev. Mr. McKee, associate rector of the parish, and by Messrs. Parkman, Hallam, McCathran and Gibbons, lay gentlemen workers of Christ Church. ——._— Unwelcome Spectators, Owing to the limited accommodations in the Police Court rooms, the judges have taken occasion several times to remind the habitual visitors that they did not own the seats, and that their room was more nec- essary than their company. The doorkeep- ers have been instructed to discriminate against these habitual loafers, but, not- withstanding all this, the “regulars” man- age to get in and occupy the front rows. It is not only once in awhile that this is the case, but it happens daily, and the same faces are seldom absent when the court convenes, and seldom do they disappear until the bailiff announces the adjournment of court. When one court adjourns, the occupants of the “reserved seats” move along the stairway to the other court to watch and listen to the tales of woe of so many unfortunates. Among those who spend their time in the court in this way are sev- eral ex-policemen and persons who would like to wear the uniform, and carry the club. In most large cities such persons, it is said, are hauled up before the judge and called upon to explain their conduct, and usually they are fined or given a few days in prison as being persons without visible means of support. It is likely that some action of this kind will be taken here in the near future to rid the court of this class of spectators. a Has Sworn Of. Bridget White, “twenty-eight years in Georgetown, judge, sor,” had the honor of leading the dance in Judge Kimball's court this morning, charged with having imbibed rot wisely, but too copiously. “How about, Bridget?" inquired the court. “Well, sor,” replied Bridget, “it's guilty I am, sor.” “When were you here before, Bridget?” Goin’ more thin two years, scr; an’ thin a mistake it was, as it was Saturday night, rat “A mistake, Bridget?’ “Sure, sor.

It is not improbable that Joseph Smith, the young colored man who robbed Miss Julia Maud Estes of her pocketbook on R street near 14th Friday evening, and who knocked the young lady down, will be called upon to answer a charge of assault. Miss Estes, who resides with her father, Prest- | dent L. G.

A Ticket-of-Leave Man Thinks That ‘They Can Be Improved. George Biddle, who is on ticket-of-leave from an English prison, where he was sen- |tenced for life on conviction of forging commercial notes, and who is in this city with the view of securing influence for a full pardon from the English government, writes to The Star, saying that he is an American, and giving a statement of his case and of his plans. He states that: “In 1890 prominent people believed that my record since the date of my arrival home in 1887 ‘should procure a full pardon, and signed a petition to that effect. Among these were James Russell Lowell, Charles Dudley Warner, Robert Ingersoll, Clarence A. Seward, Grover Cleveland, etc. Mr. Blaine sent this petition to Robert Lin- coln, then minister to ingiand, who pre- sented it officially to Lord Salsbury. After some delay Mr. Blaine transmitted to me at Hartford a copy of the reply refusing the petition for my full pardon. “Later, through James Russell Lowell, I met Joseph Chamberlain, M. P., regarding the execution of a plan I had formed to lecture through England to arouse the En- glish public to action in behalf of my three companions, who had then served eighteen years of life sentences on a charge of crime against property. At Mr. Chamberlain's suggestion I wrote to the home office stat- ing my intention. The reply came: ‘If you come over to lecture we will put you back in prison,’ or words to that effect. There- fore I am justified in my belief that the previous refusal of a full pardon was fear that I might expose their prison system, which, like others in Europe, {s turning | }out desperadoes and murderers, whose jrefuee and asylum is this country, into which are being poured the offscourings of | all the earth, and woe to the future of this country if this is not stopped—and gpon.

Lacey Sites Sas returned from Ohio, whither,with his mothe, he accompa- nied the remains of his grandmother, Mrs. Moore, to their final resting place, at Mo- hawk Valley. The final se-vices were held in the village church where Mrs. Moore had worshiped ' tor many years, and in which a beautiful memorial window has recently been erected to her husband, Robert Moore, who helped found the church more than fifty years ago. Six of Mrs. Moore's nephews served as pall- bearers. A quartet, composed of nieces and nephews, furnished the music. The funeral sermon, ‘preached by the Rev. M. B. Mead of the North Ohio Conference, also a rela- tive by marriage, was an eloquent and touching tribute to a well-spent life. Mrs. Sites will remain a week or two longer in Ohio. —— Order of Rechabites, The opening annual session of the Grand Tent, Independent Order of Rechabites, was held in Rechabite Hall, 4 1-2 street and Pennsylvania avenue nozthwest, on Satur- day night.
