THE CHURCHLEss MASSES.
Rev. Mr.. Holmes Speaks on an In
tercstinE Theme.


The mission OF the Christian church to
the masses was the theme Of the discourse
yesterday morning by the Rev. Mr.. Holmes
at the First Presbyterian Church, IL
street The sermon was based on the text
found In the forty-seventh chapter of Eze-
kiel and the ninth verse, And everything
shall live, whittier the river cometh." After
speaking of the significance of EzekiePs
vision to the Jewish exiles as a prophecy Of
the spread of the knowledge of God through
the instrumen tality of the Jewish nation.
the preacher went on to show how in the
text there is to be found a promise and a
picture of the way in which Christian truth
was TO hnd its way to the world through the
channel of the Christian Church In the
ecy found its swift and literal fulfillment.
away up in Nazareth we find the foun-
tam mead OF the stream of Christian truth,
Whicn, as 1t flows along through Galilee
and Judea and out into Asia and unto Rome
gains constantly in volume and intensity.
carrying healing and life wherever it goes.
But since the first century the church has
not always been minister of life to. the
multitude The centuries have witnessed the
formation of mighty channel for the pas
sage of the waters of life. The church, as
an institution, has steadily increased in
wealth and power, but despite her material
prosperity, she Is not today conveying spir-
ltual life to the multitude to an extent COM
mensurate with her opportunities. She is
surrounded with dense masses of souls, en-
during deep distress and full of an unutter-
able discon tent; souls who find in her min
istry and teaching too often neither heal
ing nor life.
The speaker then went on to say that the
failure of the church to impress its mes
sage upon the people was due not to any
lack of power in the gospel itself, but to the
ufelesSneSs of the church. The first need Of
the hour is that the church should preach
the whole message of Jesus with full faith
in its perfect practicability. His gospel was
not a gospel of future redemption merely,
but a gospel Of daily redemption and per-
sonal righteousness. Nor is this all, there
is also need that the church should pro-
claim an incarnate gospel. one that finds
daily embodiment in the characters and
lives of those who claim to be Christians.
The Master lived His gospel and therein
laid its power with men. Wherever Chris
tan truth has found its way to the heal Of
humanity it has first become incar1;Ie in
some human life. That faith is fiction
which does not control the passions and
sweeten the spirit and issue in righteous
ness. Throughout the great universal
church there is pressing need not Cor more
elaborate organization, nor for more COM
pltcated ecclesiastical machinery, but for q
revival of spirituality, for consecrared men
and women upon whom PentacoSt has
come. by the conservation of single souls
has the spiritual progress of the race hcen
wrought. Not until the Holy Spirit shall
come and make us new men and women in
Christ Jesus shall the prophecy be fulfilled
10 every thing shall live, whittier the river
cOmeth."

Robbery at Charlton Heights.

1t Charlton Heights, Md, was broken into
and robbed OF about $50 worth of stamps,
q gold watch and chain belonging to one
of the clerks and $50 in cash. the property
of Mr. Waple, who keeps the store and who
Is also postmaster. In speaking to a Star
reporter Mr.. Maple said that the thieves.
after they had forced the safe, could have
taken over $500 worth of jewelry had they
been so disposed, but that all that was
missed was what is stated above. He said
that no clothing or goods from the store
were taken and from this fact, as well
as the bunglinS manner in which the safe
was opened. he Is inclined to believe that
the work was not that of professionals, but
rather Of some parties who knew the store
and its contents. He has reported the rob
berry to the Post Office Department and
also to the chief of police in this city.

Public Business.

Although the city council has adjourned
until next October, 1t is probable that there
VIII be one or more called meetings in the
interval. An ordinance now before the
boards granting the right of way to the
Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon
railroad to the limits of the city on Fair
fax, King and Payne streets will probably
be considered in the interim. The bill in
creasing the number and pay of the police
force may also come up for consideration.
No other public business has been left I'M
completed, and unless the improbable chol-
era shall come and require additional sani-
tary regulations, there will be nothing Of
general interest to transact.

''Many Treasury Chanxes."

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue Of Saturday last, under the
head Of MANY Treasury Changes" you
state that ''the present policy of the Treas
ury Department is to make public only the
names of those promoted. Also that while
it is not considered especially hard to re-
considered great wrong to publish that
fact In the newspapers This policy, how
ever, applies only to the classified service T"
l beg TO inquire. Mr.. Editor. being a disin-
terested party, why a cloak Of secrecy
should be used to screen official acts per-
tanning to the classified service, when no
such garb Is required otherwise This too
in the face Of the fact that the head Of the
present administration was first brought
into notoriety. and received the support of
the American people. because Of his abso-
lutte and unQua lifted devotion to the civil
service law. and his pledges by word of
mouth, by letters innumerable and by his
oath of office to rigidly enforce the same.
/ also beg to ask, Mr.. Editor, il the whole
sale reduction of faithful, competent and
experienced clerks to a lower salary for no
cause whatever. save that Of making places
at higher salaries for the same number of
comparatively new and less experienced
clerks some of whom have two, three or four
members of their families Quartered on
ries, is not fragrant violation Of the civil
service law. If laws enacted by the law
making power of our government are to be
obeyed why make an exception of this law ?
If reducing clerk to a lower salary and
continuing him at the same desk, as is in
varfably the case. makes said clerk more
efficient, / would suggest a trial of the
same rule with the heads Of departments,
bureaus. division chiefs, SC. w. 8. H.
