FISKE INSTALLED Services at the Gunton-Temple Me= morial Presbyterian Church. THE NEW PASTOR WARMLY GREETED Eloquent Discourse by the Rev. Dr. Teunis Hamlin. A BIT OF HISTORY ‘The installation of Rev. Dr. Asa S. Fiske as pastor of Gunton Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church, corner of 14th and R streets northwest, took place last even- ing in that edifice in the presence of a large congregation. The exercises were opened with the per- formance of a prelude on the organ by Prof. J. W. Cheney.” choir sang the anthem, “Love Divine, ‘All Love Excelling."" The invocation was of- fered by Rev. Dr. Charlee B. Ramsdell of the North Presbyterian. Church, after which the hymn, “Shine on Our’ Souls, Eternal God,” was sung by the’ congrega- tion, Mr. G. A. Prevost, precentor, leading. Rev. Dr. B. L. Bittinger of Westminsttr Church read the 10th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the Romans, and at the conclu- sion Miss Pauline L. Whitaker sang the solo, “The Ninety and Nine.” Rey. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, delivered the in- Rev. Asa S. Fiske. stallation sermon. His theme was “Busi- ness Methods Utilized for Christ.” The text was a part of the 10th verse of the’ 5th chapter of Luke—‘Jesus sald unto Simon, fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.” Business Methods in Religion. Dr. Hamlin began by asking if Peter's occupation had anything todo with his be- ing chosen as a disciple and later as an apostle. He thought it at least noteworthy that seven of the twelve seem to have been fishermen. The qualities of physical en- dvrance, industry, promptness, adaptation to emergencies, no doubt belonged to the Galilean fishermen, but hardly more than to other toilers. For example, to carpen- ters, like Jesus himself. He selected His apostles from the class to which He him- Rev. Dr. Patch. self belonged, the plain people—neither rich nor extremely poor; neither learned nor debasingly ignorant—indeed, at no extreme of human society, however regarded, and thus in touch with the vast multitudes of mankind in every land and age. Christ expected Peter to carry over inte his new life his habits, knowledge and ex- perience as a fisherman. ‘‘You shall still pursue your old occupation,” He says, “only your catch, henceforth, shall be men, not fish. And you shall take them alive as captives are taken in war, instead of being put to the sword; not as fish are caught to be killed. You shall take them for thelr own good; not as fish are taken for others’ good.” Dr. Hamlin then proceeded to apply wise and right business methods, which he de- scribed, to religion. ‘It remained for Chris- tians, he said, to put the same wisdom and energy into serving Christ that they put into serving themselves in buying and sell- ing, in earning and spending.” Dr. Ham- lin’s discourse was most eloquent, and at its ecnclusion “‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” was sung by Mrs. Ella Myers Connell. Closing Exercises. The constitutional questions to the pas- tor and to the people were propounded by Rev. Dr. Bittinger; the charge to the pas- tor, which he termed a “welcome” to Dr. Fiske, by Rev. Dr. George O. Little of Assembiy’s Church, and the charge to the people by Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland of the First Church. The prayer of installation was offered by Rev. Dr. George N. Luccock of Metropoli- tan Church. The exercises were closci with the singing by the congregation of the hymn “How Beauteous on the Moun- tains” and the pronouncing of the benedic- tion by Kev. Dr. Fiske. After the dismissal of the congregation Dr. Fiske held an informal] reception, dur- ing which the members of the church cama forward and extended a cordial welcome to him. A Sketch of the Church. Sunday morning, September 4, 1881, the first religious service in the in{tial move- ment in the organization of what is now. the-Gunton-Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church was held in Claybaugh Hall, on “ Following this the: Whil and in Bout os 0 what wan testi ae ae ele fens it nee Miss Mary Gu ‘on, ' known to Dr. Patch her desire \dsomie “chi edi- fice on the si a te Chapel, in memory. of. her. = Dr. William.

The removal of the chapel and the excayation-and foundation. for the Sreater structure progressed so rapidly that the corner stone of the Gunton-Temple Church was laid November. 25, 1892, after which the work.went steadily on, and the Present church building was completed— fully furnished and equipped—and solemnly dedicated November 5, 1893, in the presence of @ great assembly, not only of Presby- terians, but representative Christians of other denominations. ‘The gathering, the ‘dedivatory services and the decorations of this occasion were all in perfect harmony with the magnificent building. Great palms, immense bunches of chrysanthemums, and beautiful ruses, in great profusion, were grouped about the altar, adding greatly to the splendor of the interior of the edifice. In unis new house of worship Rev. Dr. Patch ministered most acceptably to in- creasing congregations for more than two years, and at the last communion service at which he officiated, January 26, 1896, just one week before he was stricken down with apoplexy, nineteen were added to the church, mostly adults, and all but five of whom on profession of faith. January 5, 1896, Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Tal- mage preached his: first morning sermon in Washington in this church, on invita- tion of Dr. Patch, to an immense audience, on_ ‘Recognition in Heaven.” For some time, during the early part of Dr. Patch’s illness, and while waiting and hoping for his recovery, the pulpit was kindly supplied by many prominent Pres- byterfan clergymen and ministers of other denominatiohs of this and other cities, but after a lapse of some months Dr. Patch, upon the advice of his physicians, deeming it unwise to resume his pastoral labors as yet, resigned the pastorate, but, the church not being willing to wholly sever the tie that had bound pastor and people together for so many years, elected him pastor emerftus, with a salary. ‘The pulpit now being vacant, a number of popular preachers were heafd as candidates for the pastoraté, and, at a congregational meeting held January 7, 1807, for the elec- tion of a pastor, theichoice fell upon Rev. Dr. Asa 8. Fiske. = FAREWELL TO MR. GAGE. Prominent Business Men of Chicago at a Banquet. The Commercjal Club of Chicago Thurs- day night gave a farewell dinner to Lyman J. Gage, the new Secretary of the Treas- ury. The banquet was held at the Audi- torium, and about one hundred men promi- nent in business and commerctal circles were present. in the course of his speech Mr. Gage said: “Wisely or uflwisely, I-have pleaded for toleration, for patience with misunderstand- ing, for a broad eitizenship, not limited to local surroundings; a Citizenship which welcomes business success, because it lends power and influence in the larger soctal life to which duty and true happiness stand in_ close relations.” Mr. Gage said that the most advanced scientists now recognize that a large num- ber of so-called diseases find their exist- ing cause in that part of the physical or- ganization known as the emotional centet. ‘These diseases cannot be reached by ordi- nary means, but. must be addressed through mental impressions and sugges- tions. This, Mr. Gage intimated, was the source of trouble with the social state,.and he continued: “It Is unwise to be blind to the dangers in such a situation. Hysteria, though functional in its operation, may induce or- ganic disease. Men of steady minds and strong hearts must with temperance and charity in the exercise of right reason. find the true path which leads to peace and safety. There are real mistakes to be cor- rected. We have violated the natural laws which govern in the realm of economics with the same force and power that they do in the physical realm.” + e+ —___.

CRUSADE AGAINST — IMMORALITY Chief Webster Intends to See the Fight Through. ONE PLACE WARNED Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington St., Telephone No. 116, Alexandria, Va., February 13, 1897. Another act in the big drama between law and order and vice and immorality was cemmenced yesterday afternoon, and has continued throughout today, and as a re- sult over one hundred and fifty prisoners are behind the bars. They were arrested on state warrants, and are charged with adultery and fornication, for which the fine is not less than $20 nor more than $500, and confinement in jail: not’ more than six months. The charge of lewd and lascivious cohabitation has been preferred against some of the ‘unfortunates, for which the punishment is a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500. This moval crusade was instituted by Chief Webster, and he is determined to carry it to the bitter end until all, high and low, rich and poor, are punished alike for this vicious practice. Yesterday after- noon, when Lieut. Smith’s squad went on duty, they were given the warrants, and they at once proceeded to execute them. Lieut. Smith, with Officers Atkinson, Bet- tis, Davis, Lyles, Wilkinson and Knight, made a descent upon the demi-monde in the Whitechapel district and arrested all the keepers of houses of ill fame, together with the inmates and a number of men who were living with the women in viola- tion of the law. Then they were taken to the police station and locked up, and the officers instructed to arrest all parties krown to be violating the law in this re- spect. During the afternoon arrests were made rapidly, and last night every avail- able space in police headquarters was necd- ed to stow them away, even the witness rooms and private offices being necessary. Capt. Webster says that he has informa- tion against a number of prominent citi- zens, and that they, too, will be brought in along with the rest, and something of a sensational nature may be expected. At the time of the recent policy raid by Sergt. Smith some one gave away to one of the policy houses the fact that the raid was to be made, and this house alone escaped. The same Judas made himseif felt yesterday, and when the police arrived at the house of Annie Fisher they found that she, with her entire crew, had de- camped, having gotten the tip and taken the boat for Washington. It is believed that the man who gave the tip to Annie Fisher is living with her immorally, and the authorities will make an effort to prove the charge on the man they suspect of giv- ing ie tp in Be and the policy case. The an is kcown, but there is no d iorthe enon irect proof ‘andemonium reigned supreme at police headquarters ell night, and for blocks away the yells of the women and children who were locked up could be heard. They Were packed in like sardines in a box. The raid is said to have been brought about by the fact that a number of letters have been received at Police headquarters from the wives of prominent business men asking the police to keep their husbands away from houses of bad repnte, and from the further fact that continued applications for aid during these hard times come from ome who claim to have been deserted ey their husbands, and on investigation it is found that the husbands have deserted Shen to aye with other women. @ police are determined to brea! this viclous practice, and will not stop sa all known violatoy ve puntshed. rs of the law have been remitted $44 on each fine, which makes the amount to be paid $6. Aji day love Uttle knots of people standing about have been discussing the situation, and there has been an air of expectancy noticeable on all sides, waiting for some so-called “big bug” to get in the toils. Chief Webster says he will have charges to make against a member of the police force of a like nature, but as yet it cannot be learned who the officer is. The women known to be proprietresses of the houses of ill-fame were fined $12 and given ten days in jail. The city jail is filled to its utmost capacity, antl what will be done with the additional prisoners con- signed to the toils is a proviem. Forty- oe cases nee disposed of by Mayor Thompson this morning, and t! will be tried tonight. id Hey balance, Lecture Last Night. Rev. Father D. J.

Monroe of Company F, 3d Regiment, Infantry, and of Capt. George A. Mushbach of that com- pany. Captain Mushbach, who always has been a gallant soldier, has been captain of that company since June 12, 1887, and has been the senior captain in the state service. Captain Mushbach’s company did some ex- cellent work, together with two companies of the Ist Regiment, several years ago, when they were called out at a few hours notice to go to Rosslyn, near Alexandria, and drive Coxey’s army out of Virginia. Declined to Marry. This morning George Burke, a colored man, was before Mayor Thompson, in the police court, charged with seducing Mary Baker, a young colored girl, under promise of marriage. The mayor ordered that he marry the girl or suffer the consequences. He decided to appeal the case and take it to the corporation court. Mrs. Smoot’s Reception. The dencing reception given by Mr. and Mrs. William B. Smoot last night was one of the most successful social events of the seascn, ard was highly enjoyed by all those who were fortunate enough to be present. As stated the reception was given in horor of Miss Mamie French, one of this season's most promising debutantes. Miss French looked a picture of loveliness, and was a decided belle throughout the evenirg. Dancing was kept up cntil a late hour, and a bounteous repast, consisting of all the delicacies of the season, was served. Notes. Mr. Henry Greene has scld to Mr. F. 8.
