Dr. McKim, i Pulpit Themes Suggested by the National Holiday. DANGER AND HOPE OF THE REPUBLIC Carnot's Menace of Anarchy. Assassination and the RELIGION AND PATRIOTISM The near approach of the national holt- day suggested themes of a patriotic or na- tioral character for a number of the ser-| mons which were delivered In oar city churches yesterday. The rector of Epiphany spoke of the danger and the hope of the republic. He gave emphasis to the truth that it was by the good providence of God that this fair land became the heritage of our fathers, and by the same providence these Hberties were triumphantly secured and that this courtry has been guided and preserved to this day. He maintained that only by an adherence to the principles of righteousness and religion, which we received from our fathers, could liberty, prosperity and peace be preserved and perpetuated. He called attention to the conditions for the security of the liberty which is enjoyed in this coun- try. While he said our Constitution is the most perfect instrument of government ever struck off by the genius of men, yet, if national vigor and national character be lacking, the Constitution will not avail. The speaker iaid emphasis upon the homely virtues cf pure domestic Ife, com- mercial integrity, simple habits and a high standard of moral worth, upon which alone can be builded the edifice of national strength and greatness. He called atten- tion to thé record of divorces and to the tendency in the press to pander to the low- est tastes of the scandal monger. He thought that there was need to purify the atmosphere of our commercial life and to brand with scorn many of the methods which are looked upon as legitimate shrewdness. He deprecated the fact that simplicity of life and manner seems to be disappearing, and while it is true that with advancing civilization life becomes more complex simplicity of spirit need not dis- appear. He deprecated making wealth the standard of value, and said that in the esti- mat> of men let manliness, courage and steadfastness to duty count for at least as much as his balance at the bankers. He said that the selfish tyranny of the capitalist or the corporation has been fol- lowed by the despotism of the mob, and the spectacle has been given to the world of civil war in half a dozen states of the Union. He thought that there was but one ultimate remedy, and that was to/ arouse the patriotism and the public spirit of citizens and to kindle an enthuslasm for a higher.moral standard through the in- fluence of religion. He spoke of the discon- tent among the laboring classes and the spirit of unrest which prevailed, making the situation undoubtedly serious. He be- lieved, however, that the heart of the people is sound, and that {t will respond to the appeals of patriotism and duty. Christ, after all, ccncluded the speaker, is the best hope of the republic. He will teach us the true brotherhood of humanity. Liberty aud Anarchy. The recent assassination of President Car- rot formed the theme of several pulpit ais- courses. The pastor of the Church of the Covenant, Rev. Dr. Hamlin, spoke upon Mberty and anarchy. At the outset he re- ferred to the strength of socialism through- out the world and said that it appzais to be ripening into anarchy. He spoke of the pro- gram which the socialists had in view and sald that nearly every item is treated by the soclalist in excess, with the result of a sharp antagonism against al) existing so- celal order. ‘the first object of attack {is property. After property, government lg at- tacked as the defender of property. While he did not mean to say that all socialism 1s aimed against the existence of government, or that all socialists are also afiarchists, it is evident, he said, that anarchy 1s the logical outcome of extreme socialism. It has been thought, said the preacher, that in this country, with its free institutions, equality of all citizens, separation of church and state and vast extent of territory wouRi free us from such dangers. But it is found that in its mad fury at everything called government, anarchy is unable to dls- tinguish between despotism and freedom. In the deaths of Lincoln and Gartield and Carter Harrison we have refused to see that there was anything more than freaks of cranks. But these men, exclaimed the preacher, were murdered in office and be- cause they were in office. He spoke of the humanity and patriotism of Carnot and quoted a statement made by his assassin when asked if he had a personal grievance against the president, who replied: “No; but he was a tyrant, and I killed him for that reason.” Popular government, thought, ts not a protection against an- archy. ‘In fact, {t seems to have some pe- cullar facilities for fostering anarcny. its teaching of equality before the law is mis- interpreted to mean equality in every par- ticular of life. Detinition of Populism. He said that there was a chance in this country for demagogism, and he thought that it was making headway in our state and national politics and now musters a formidable array of votes in both branches of Congress. “Populism,” he said, “ts simply an inciplent, ignorant and unor- ganized socialism. Its political capital 1s the arraying of the poor against the rich, the improvident against tne thrifty, the idle against the industrious. Coxey is its typical prodact; the mob violence which is disgracing so many sections of our country its legitimate fruitage. An income tax which, it is estimated, will fall upon only one out of 800 of our citizens its concep- ton of equitable legislation. All this is the protoplasm of anarchy. It proceeds upon the assumption that political power can level moral distinctions; that government is bound to make everybody comfortable and happy. When these delusions are exposed it will be ready to lay violent hands upon government and upon the human lives that represent it. There is not a ruler on earth, from the most ignorant and despotic to the most liberal and enlightened, that does not fear socialism and anarchy. There is no magistrate that may not become at any hour a victim of the knife or the bomb, and this appalling condition is not the result of the fury of a few irresponsible maniacs, but the natural result of teaching that all government is tyranny,all property robbery, all social order oppression. Casimir-Perier was elected president of the French lic amid cries of ‘bown with dictators: demand the abolition of the president as | our own Lincoln was murdered with the cry ‘Sic semper tyrannis!' * Intelligent Cures, The remedy, the preacher said, for this situation is the most serious problem that confronts statesmanship today. He belfeved that, however, in spite of the law's delays and the natural irritation of such delays, in view of the popular demand for speedy punishment, that legal remedies should be adhered to. He said that the real and curable ills under which the masses of the people are suffering should be intelligently cured. Socialism, he said, does not exist without a cause. He spoke of the excessive hours of labor on railroads, the pestilential condition of tenements, manufactories and mines, the sweating system, trusts, pools and monopolies. it is idle, he said, to imagine that these and like iniquities can flourish and the victims of them remain content to seek no remedy. The remedy, he said, must be applied discreetly by good citizens. He safd that the churches have spent time on Lair-splitting theologies and ecclesiastical politics that should have been given to solving the problem of our Chris- tian civilization. He thought that children must be taught the worth of labor, and that all must learn that freedom is a stew- ardship as well as a privilege. Rev. Mr. Muir's Sermon, The subject of the sermon of Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of the E Street Baptist Church, last evening, was the recent assas- sination of the French president. The preacher called attention to the fact that Carnot did not die as an individual, but as the incumbent of t office. It has come, he said, to be a question of supreme moment whether those on whom great re- sponsibility rests should follow thelr con- tions of duty freely without feeling at ail times that a brutal dagger was con- fronting them: He believed that a higher conception of authority was necessary he) PAGES. among the people. Good citizens are bound to uphold authority. The preacher main- tained that anarchy was the outcome of certain socialistic teaching.

He belleved there was need for better teachings among the masses, and said that revolutionary social- ivm was for the most part atheistic. He be- lieved that there were wrongs that must be relieved, or there would come a terrible day of reckoning. A CORNER STONE LAID Congregation. the Ceremony—Rev. Dr. Addi- son’s Eloquent Discourse.

At the meeting of the Interstate Demo- cratic Association Saturday evening there were a number of interesting incidents. President R. F. Gray was in the chair, and after a lively discussion the association adopted a resolution urging all democratic associations in the District and near-by states to join in a grand celebration imme- diately upon the passage of the tariff: bill, consisting of a mass meeting, a paradé and the firing of 100 guns. 1t was provided that a committee of nine members of the ‘asso- ciation be appointed to confer with -repre= sentatives of other organizations desiring to lake part in the celebration. Representa- tive Enloe of Tennessee made a brief ad- dress, in which he said there was too little democracy and too much mugwumpery ebout the present administration, and that democratic clerks in the departments were afraid to give voice to their political sentt- ments. ~~ Is A CITIZEN, Russia to Be Entrented to Release an Americana. The case of S. G. Kizemimiski, the Polish resiaent of Buffalo recently banished to Siberia, has assumed a new phase by the production of official documents establish- ing beyond all doubt the fact that he is a raturalized citizen of the United Statés. These facts were laid before the Secretary of State late Saturday afternoon by the son of Mr. Kizemimiski, and have been communicated to the United States min- ister at St. Petersburg with a view to in- ducing the Russian government to consent to the release of the unfortunate man as @ special act of comity to the United States. ——__ EXCURSIONS, Boston House Employes’ Excursion.—The annual excursion of the Boston ‘House Employes’ Relief Association occurs this evening.

"To the Faltor of The Evening Star: No citizen can help admiring the new garbage regulations, which place all the duties, pairs and penalties upon the un- offending residents and leave the ecntract- ing party scot free. If you hire anyvone to take away your garbage you are fined.rdt any one takes it away he is fined. «df your garbage can leaks you are fined. ~if your gate ts locked you are fined. Jf your can only holds two and a half gallons you are fined. If you put your tin cans with your garbage you are fired. All this for people who have entered no contract and committed no offense. The garbage contractor has never com- plied with his spectfications, and everybody knows it; but he submits to no penalty. As a result of these unreasonable and ridicu- jous—in fact, impossible—regulations, with penalties attached, residents will have to burn their garbage or cat it, or will~as some now do—dump it on vacant lots, and the contractor will draw his pay for doing nothing, which will be only a trifle in ad- vance of what he has always done. RUTH G. D. HAVENS. es Funeral of Admiral Temple, ‘The funeral services over the remains of the late Rear Admiral William G. Temple were held on Saturday afternoon at the apartments of the deceased in the Portland. The interment was made in the family lot in the Congressional cemetery. In accord; ance with the wishes of the deceased, thd services were private and were attended only by the immediate members of the fam- ily. —_-+—_- A Woman's Peculiar Will. A strange reason for a bequest was given in the will of Miss Alene Philo, an eccentric old lady of New York state, who died re- cently. She is said to have been a maiden of very uncertain age, although of must certain temper. When the will was read, about two weeks ago, it was found ‘that her wealth consisted of only a few thousands, and that was left to an unknown felative for the reason, as stated in the testament, that the said relative had never pretended to even tolerate the testator. The person to whom the bequest is made is Miss Jessa- mine Alene Philo of this city. oe A Sad Death, The friends of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Dr. Addixon’s Address. ‘The rector of the church then introduced the Rev. Mr. Addison, who delivered a very able and eloquent address. In the first place, he congratulated the pastor and par- ish upon the lasting Christian work they and good work in the past, as their grand ; SUccess so well attested, and he well knew that the work would be continued as grand- ly in the future. The speaker then went on to speak of the nobility of such a work, and declared that while all else would pass away, God and His works would remain forever. For, said the clergyman, God is in ihe sanctuary and in the preaching, and go is He in the sacraments. “We believe,” said the speaker, “in the divine presence in the sacraments. We be- eve in the sanctifying efficacy of a faithful participation in the sacraments. To faith the power of God is with the bread und wine and with the baptismal waters. As one approaches these holy mysteries he need not fear too high views of their re- newing and purifying power, if only he approaches them with scriptural concep- {6HiE and in the right spirit. 1 know very faheiful and false teaching is abroad in the church on the subject. Salvation, it ts asserted, is secured by a sacredotal act; a saving mystical influence is imparted ‘by sacramental grace and this operates irre- sistibly of its own inherent energy. “When the fang of a cobra strikes a man the venom enters the veins and the blood carries it to the heart and cheace it is forced through the system; the nerve cen- ters are prostrated; the brain feels the shock of the deadly energy; the mind can- not retard the circulation which is nuw the vehicle of death. Love of life has no charm against the cobra's malignity. The potent will is helpiess. No chain the soul n forge can bind the activities of the Teslstless poison. Death Is inevitable. So ‘the sacramental elements once in the sys- teth perform their functions of salvation. ‘They work on towards the endless life. Re- demption is inevitable. The will, the intel- lect, the affections, are power! pose an agency endowed by God with an indestructible force. Eternal life is, there- fore, attained by mastication. We are saved by our teeth. The chalice is a foun- tain of life—a few drops of wine are the living waters, which, if a man drink, he shall never’ thirst in eternity, “Do we undervalue sacraments? Yes, truly and with all possible emphasis us that concelved of. We admit great power in them. We cannot too highly value the Lord's supper, of which we are mainly speaking now. Wherein {s its power? Not fm this unscriptural and superstitious con- ception. Forceful, indeed, it is to humble faith, but not through any occult, ‘neompre- hensible working of which the Bible seys nothing. The sacrament embodies truth. It is present with the elements not in them to give sanctifying efficacy to that truth. He ts present imparting to faith the precious doctrine of atonement by His infinite sa rifice and all the constellation of glorious verities which revolve around that central orb in the Gospel’s doctrinal system. The Word is the sword of the Spirit. We are sanctified by the truth. Is there any other instrument of santification? Can the Spirit reach the mind and heart in any cther way? We do not find it in God's Word. The only vehicle of grace is the truth, whether it be imparted by tongue or pen, or by sacramental symbolism. Do we detract, then, from the sacrament? Nay, we en- hance 1t; we glorify it; we lift it up far above the region of magic and superstition, and enshrine it In the august palace of the mind, the seat of thought, which is the glory of humanity, and give ft suprem- acy in the heart, the holy of holies in the kingdom of love. God in the Sacrament. “God, then, is in the sacraments as He is in the sanctuary and in the Word; in the sacraments with His almighty power and infinite love to meet in sanctifying fellow- ship, through the truth, every believing soul. He is the present worker in all the means He has ordained for our salvation. It follows, then, that we are engaged in a great work here today—a work too great for our minds to grasp. “You dedicate this house as the consecrat- ed place. “Wherein you are to deal with God in reference to the vaster matters of your being. We wouid enlarge your thoughts as to the immensity of this present transac- ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking pow- der.

And this should be to you more than that was to the pious Jew; the center of your religious life, the center of love, and hope, and joy. Here should you delight to dwell and behold the fair beauty of the Lord and commune with the powers of the endless life. “Unbelief sees nothing of the supernat- ural of which we have been king. It says to us: Ah, man, thou hast been speak- ing to us in parables. Imagine a savage placed upon a war steamer lying quietly in port. He sees the musketry; they are but wood and iron; he leans against the great guns and peers into their muzzles; they are harmless matter; no danger lurks in their deep throats; the glittering steel and brass of the burnished machinery attract his va- cant gaze. He looks into the cold furnace and strikes his hand against the resound- ing boller. Still all is silent and motiontess. Yet mighty energtes are all around him. The vessel shivers, a fires in the furnace the great propeller turns, that ship, qulv- ering with life, moves upon the waters— passes into the ocean—the musketry rat- tles, the artillery booms—iron balls fly from the many jaws of the monster. Life is there, power—a floating volcano is on th sea. Thus only the outward form of the sanctuary is visible. And that seems harm- less cnough. Only ordinary men; common words; dead matter. The man in the pul- pit and the chancel; the Book of Life open on the lectern; the baptismal font and the communion table. Where is the volcanic fire? Where is God? He is in His holy temple, but He is invisible. He works be- hind the veli of sense—He ts mightier in the unseen world than the thundering bat- teries on the sea. Meet Him by faith on the unseen arena of his activity and then you will understand that it is not within the pogsibilities of human language to ex- aggerate the power of His presence in the sanctuary, in the Word and in the sacra- ments. And, so I repeat, that in laying this corner stone you are engaged in the grandest work possible to man on this earth. You are engaged in co-operation with the resistless power of Jehovah’ in human redemption. Love this work; your noblest affections steadfastly cluster around it. Pray for it; labor for it; give liberally to it, and may the blessings of the Almighty be with you and abide with you forever.” The Corner Stone Laid. Upon the conclusion of the address the corner stone was laid by the rector of the church, the choir singing “The Church’ KILLED BY HEAT. Two Victims Fall Beneath the Heat of the 5 There were two fatal cases of sunstroke yesterday, although in one case strong drink assisted the temperature of the atmos- phere in the deadly work. This victim was a blacksmith named George Ryan, about in the Capitol grounds not far from the Delaware avenue entrance. The citizen who found him succeeded in’ getting him beneath a shady tree and notified the po- ice. Then an effort was made to get the man on his feet after the ambulance ‘hid been telephoned for, but he soon became unconscious and died. How long the sick man was there in the Capitol grounds is not known, but ft is possible that his.1ie might have been saved if he had been found earlier, for, ke the man who committed suicide ih the same locality a few Weeks ago, he may have remained there a lang time before one of the few Capitol police men on duty there would have found him. whom but Ittle is known.

The funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Laurence E. Gannon, whose sad death was described in Saturday's Star, took place this morning at 10 o'clock, at St. Paul's Church, corner 15th and V streets. The services were of a most impressive nature, the circumstances surrounding the death of the unfortunate woman adding greatly to the sorrow of her large circle of friends. All day yesterday the home, 1442 S street, was visited by hundreds of friends | and acquaintances, who called to express | their sympathy with the bereaved husband. | Mr. Gannon ts utterly prostrated by the blow which has overtaken him. At the funeral services this morning there | was a repetition of the requiem mass which | was sung yesterday for President Carnot by the St. Matthew's Church choir, who volunteered to sing on this occasion. Gou- nod’s “Sanctus,” which was Mrs. Gannon’s favorite hymn, was also rendered. The pallbearers were John Treanor, P. C. J. Treanor, James Collins, Representatt O'Neil of Massachusetts, L. Fells and Dr. John A. Daly. The interment was at Mt. Olivet cemetery. Mr. Gannon’s mother, his brother, Chria- topher Gannon, and sisters, Mrs. Fitager- ald and Miss Gannon, arrived here yester- day from their home, Salem, Mass. Miss Kelly, sister of Mrs. Gannon, is also here to attend the funeral. Charles E. Gannon, the unfortunate brother-in-law, is stiil con- | fired in Providence Hospital, where he is likely to remain for some time. Altho j he was much improved last night, he stil) suffers great mental anguish and frequent- ly breaks down completely. We Close 2 P.Il. July 4. | Closed All Day Sundays.
