SPIRITUAL POWER NEEDED.

DR.. Patton Thinks 1t Is Lacking in the Re-
ligious Work of To-day
Rev. DR.. Cornelius H. Patton preached yes
terday morning at the First Congregational
Church upon the need OF more spiritual
power His text was the nineteenth verse of
the third chapter OF Paul's Letter to the
Ephesans: That ye might be filled witHall

''These words were spoken az practical
desire OF the apostle on behalf of the same
people whom he charges with many faults.
and whose life he describes as unclean, - said
Dr. Patton. The apparently stupendous
audacity of the utteranee only impresses US
when we consider the circumstances of
the people and the low character of their life
at the ime it was written.
Paul seems to have vision of a higher and
nober life and it is under such circumstances
that he uses the words of the text.
"Our greatest desire should be for deeper
spiritual life and TO live nearer to God. This
is an age which demands this 1t is a time
when the church is seeking to greater de-
gree than ever to manifest itself to the outer
world. 1t is an age of institutional churches
in which Christianity is seeking to get hold
of all forms OF ways in which to win the
world

lieve the institutional church is a good thing

equipped with spiritual power from on high -

CONVERSION OF PAUL.

of the Apostle.
st. Paul's Catholic Church, corner of Fif-
teenth and streets northwest, was crowded
yesterday at II a. m service to hear Bishop ].
J. Keane, president of the Catholic University,
who preached on the Conversion of Paul ,,
The speaker reviewed the early life of
Paul, how when he lived the straightest OF his
sect, Pharisee, he had prosecuted the saints,
even unto strange cities, having them put in
bonds and compelled them to biaspheme the
name of Jesus. And while On his Journey to
Damascus he beheld in the heavens light
brighter than the sun, and heard voice call
ing to him, Saul, Saul. why persecutest
thou me?" and he heard Christ say, ''Rise up
and stand on thy feet and go and bear wit
ness to what thou hast seen and heard''
In speaking OF the multiplicity of religious
beliefs he attributed it TO the same cause that
inspired the building of the tower of Babel;
lack of faith In the promise of God. Their
The Washington times., 1895-01-28

faith in the old church failed them and they
decided to seek safety in a new house. The
great intellects OF to-day seem unable to cope
with the abstract; they want the concrete
facts. In Christ all is joined. The Jews de-
MED Christ because they wanted Messiah
who would bring them wealth in worldly
goods and a life of ease, and so it Is to-day
with many.
In closing he advised his hearers not to go
out like Saul OF Tarus, but as the blessed
Paul-like Paul began the work at home. in
yourself, for the unworthy life of Christians
is scandal to the Lord. Be not yainglor-
ious, but carry the name of the Lord in clean,
not in filthy, vessels.

AIM OF ROMANISM.
Dr. Sunderland Asserts That 1t Seeks to
Control the Whole Country.

Control the Whole Country.
Rev. Dr. Sunderland paid his respects to
the Catholic Church last night at Wesley
Chapel, corner Fifth and streets northwest.
where large congregation was present to
hear him. He took his text from Acts xix:21,
After 1 have been there 1 must then see
Rome"
The bishops of the Roman Catholic Church.
said DR.. Sunderland claim that the Pope is
the divine successor OF st. Peter. but there
is not a vestiSe of reliable proof in history
that st. Peter was ever in Rome.
Dir. Sunderland quoted at length from the
Constitution, dwelling on the rights of cti-
zens and showing the wise separation of
church AMI state. 1t is stated that no true
Roman Catholic can be Il consistent Ameri-
can citizen, because he owes supreme ale
glance to foreign master.
There is a growing distrust of Romanism
In this country. and in all their charity and
temperance organizations is seen secret
and seductive means to accomplish this
single design-control of the whole country.

If there is anything rarer than a day in
June it is an evening in Jauuary-with the
Saengerbund.
The second concert of that superbly
equipped organization was given last night
at the Academy OF Music, where the repu;a-
tion OF the band and the excellent quality of
the programme attracted very large num-
ber of the musical talent and enthusiasts of
the city.
Director William Waldecker is a thorough
musician and can therefore choose sympa-
rhetically for musical minds and souls. The
taste and judgment displayed in the makeup
OF the bill last night were as pleasing as they
were evident.
GEE OF PROGRAMME.
For the orchestra he gave the audience Two
characteristic Slav dances by Dyorak, the
overture of "Oberon, and selections from
Il Pagiacci." The capabilities OF the mu-
sicians we're shown OF to much advantage in
all of these numbers. TITS was especially
noticeable in the work Tor the cornet, with
violin accompaniment in Il PaglIacei -
Her Max kaeStl OF Baltimore, Tlaved De
Beriots seventh concerto and dauser Hun
garian rhapsody in a masterlul manner His
delicate handling of the passage in harmonies
and the briliiance and ease with which he ex-
ecuted the rapid finale OF the rhapsody earned
for him applause enough TO reapPear, but he
would not come back.
The vocal solosts were Mrs. Kitty Thomp-
son-Berry and Miss Margaret Eichorn. alto:
Mr.. Leopold Stieiel. Mr.. Rudolph Schneider,
and Mr.. j. j. Fisher, singing some solo
strains in the numbers for the chorus.
TWO CHARMING voCALIsTs.
Miss Eichorn sang delightfully."- her part of
the Invitation of Song" and again in the
duet with Mrs. Berry La Regatta yeneziana''
which, by the way, reminds one very much of
the Jolly Students" Miss Eichorn was.
however at her best in her aria from ''Sam-
son and Deilah, Saint-Saens.
Mrs. Berry was greeted enthusiastically by
the audience when she stepped to the foot
lights TO sing Arditis "Geduid," F" waltz song
This gave the singer an opportunity of dis
playing her familiarity with some of the in
tricacies. and the picturesqueness of vocal
music. The most pleasing impression made
by Mrs. Berry was by the charming aud soul
ful manner in which she sang Calm as the
Night. in response TO unanimous and i'm
peratiye recall. Her style in this ballad. or
rather reverie was repeated with similar
effect as the Yalkyrie's 20 Liebe Ist s. in the
closing chorus on the programme.
the chorus sang like an instrument under
the skillful direction OF Mr.. Waldecker

bund will be anticipated with much pleasure

deavor. Every man has an outfit OF powers,

his powers according to his opportunities, or

There must be steady perseverance. We
must not break tho chain OF continuity.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Unless prediction fail Congress will hear
from President Cleveland on the financial
situation within day or two and possibly be
given suggestions as to financial relief. 1t is
reported that he will recommend a gradual
cancellation OF greenbscks and Treasury
notes as they are presented for redemption
and that their places be supplied with an ad-
ditional issue of national bank notes. 1t is
also said that he will advise an issue of silver
certificates to the amount OF the seigniorage
now lying in the Treasury and in this way
endeavor to find favor with advocates of an
increased silver coinage.
Had President Cleveland at the outset OF
his administration shown this disposition to
compromise with the different elements of his
party he would to-day be in popular favor
and our Democratic Congress would have ac-
complished great results. But from the be-
ginning he has been arbitrary, conceited, and
impartial Instead OF making friends he has
taken trouble to incur enmity, and the result
has been disastrous to himself and destructive
to his party.
No man is so great that be overtops the
not so wise but that there are other Demo-
Gratis whose opinions are worth considering.
1t has been truly said that all legislation is
the result of compromise and on most i'm
portant questions it is the combined wisdom
of a number of minds. This is a truth Presi-
dent Cleveland pzust recognize, and il is a

IN MEMORY OF THE HEROIC DEAD

In keeping with the day set apart to
commemorate the deeds and sacrifices
of the men who defended the nations
honor thirty years ago and who now
sleep in honored graves, our citizens,
headed by Dan S. Root Post, G.. A. r.,
and the W. r. c., turned out to observe
the occasion and with the school
children each carrying flag, made an
imposing appearance. The procession
formed at the G.. A. r. hall at 10
o'clock a. m. headed by the Bedding
Cornet Band, and marched to the
Opera House which was soon filled To
its utmost capacity. Under direction
of Commander G. Nj. Slayton the ritual
services for opening the exercises were
read and after songs by the male quar-
tette and beautiful military drill by
twelve school girls dressed in white
each carrying flag, Maj. f. G. Wat
kins made brief speech and introduc-
ed Gen. J. H. Kidd, of Ionia, the orator
of the day, who spoke for an hour,
making very fine address. Mr.. Kidd
is not an orator but speaks deliberately
with earnestness and his hearers are
confident that what he says comes from
the heart. He paid high tribute to
the soldier living and dead. At the
close OF his speech which was loudly
applauded the Post reformed and
