FIVE YEARS OF PROGRESS
Ninth treet Christian Church
Celebrates an Anniversary.
Services Were Arranged Befltt ing the
Occasion as Well as the
Easter Season.

The services al the Nintl-street Christ
ian Church yesterday morning were in COM
memoratiom of the lifth anniversary of
that congregation as well hcIittinGly ar
ranged for Eastertide. The attendance
taxed the sc6ting capacity OF the small
edifice 10 its uttCrmoSt.
A profusiou OF flowers formed sweet
scented decorations OF rostrum ana cnCir-
loft. The musical program was especially
arranged ana admirably carried out, with
Mrs. Alton Smith as soloist.
The sermon was by Rev. T.. b. Baghy, the
pastor. His text WIS from Remains Xi.33-
SO. In the course OF his rcmarkS he said.
'All that Is good in the world, every act
that has made a human being better, every
influence that has wrought tor riSiIte GUS
ness is of God. He employs men as His
agents and Instruments, but ii is God who
works. This is the thought that should be
uppcrmost IN our minds as we meet on
this happy anniversary occasion. Behold,
what hath GoG wrought. Ii is His gospel
that is preached, il is love or His Son that

The pastor said in the preaching he had
cndcavored la obey the Injunction Of PAU

earicd aS the fundamental principle of the
gospel the resurrection OF Jesus from the
dead. Then followed the main body OF
the discourse on the significance OF the
resurrection.
lii closing Mr.. Bagby asked: what shall
re our hi tory in the five years now be gin
ming? The answer rests largely with us.
There is a reservoir of grace and blessing
upon which we can draw for unlimited
quantities. The gospel has lost none OF
its power. The sword Of the spirit is not
dulled by use. May we win greater tri-
umphs fol- The Master, and above all seek

rection and the fello wship of His suffering

" Myers. fina nciai secretary; Messrs. sond-
heimer, Pyser. Solomon, and BlOut, ntln-
bers of the board OF directors.
The question or a selection OF the site
OF the new temple aud OF the time or
beginning the work was touched upon
briefly. and then referred entirely TO the
building committee. The majority OF
the congregation favored the raising or
the new edifice on the site OF the Old,
and il is probable that the committee will
make such a recommendation. The date
OF the committees report has not yet
been set. but it VIII take place IN the near
future The members of the building cCm-
mittee are: McSsrS. II. King, jr., chair

Referring 10 the erection of the temple. in
his report, Mr.. King said:
I'VE are now confronted with our most
difficult Iask-the object which has elected
our best work in the past and Will, trust,
continue in the future, until accomplished,
namely, the erection of tile new temple. No
shrinking from our sacred duty now.
Begin. we must; begin, we shall.
We will not allow obstacles 10 impede
our course; our duty is plain and we must
perform 1t. The building OF new temple
must become n reality. Let US unite and
sinK all differences in the one common, holy
ohject-the rearing of magnificent and
glorious house of worship. Remember
there should be no retrogresSion, and
thoughts OF failure should dwindle away
into insignificance before our bright as
pirations for success.
Give me your kind assistance and CO.
operation in this, our noble mission, the
sacred duty imposed on us, and nothing
shall prevent the consummation of our
most CHERISHED and needed object"

SERVICES AT ST. PETERS.
Beautiful Music and an Impressive
Sermon Marked the Day.

The services at ST. Peters were unusually
impressive. The aGar aud sanctuary were
tastefuly decorated with lights aud flowers.
Solemn high mass was said by the pastor.
Rev. Father O'Brien, as celebrant, and an
eloquent sermon on the Resurrection was
preached by Rev Father Sullivan.
The music was an especially attractive
feature. kalliwode's mass in A major was
finely rendered, under the direction of Mr..
French; the full choir, with orchestra, and
Miss A. X. kearon at the organ, admirably
blending and bringing out effectively the
numerous tuncful passages and religious eX-
preston, so chara ctcristic of this mass.
The offcrtorium was trio ObligatO, with
chorus, the trio being well sustained by
Miss Hattie Ritchic and Messrs. Weidmann
and Devreaux.
The Veni Creator, "He watching over
Israeli from Mendclssohn's "Eliiah," ar
ranged and orchcstrated, we understand, by
the director, was peculiarly soulful in taste
aud expression.

SHE TALKED on CHINA.
Miss Sites Tells of the Missionary
Work in the Orient

Miss Ruth Marie Sites delivered IN in
tercstiDg lecture yesterday afternoon be-
fore a large congregation at Wesley NJ.
i. Chapel, corner of Fifth and streets
northwest, on the Manners and Customs
of the Chinese Miss Sites has lately re-
turned from China, where she spent five
years nS a missionary at the FOochOw con-
ference headquarters, and is we'll quail
fled 10 present the subject in an interest
ing manner.
Miss Sites spoke more especially to the
children OF the congregau on, relating
many instances OF the conversion and
education of Chinese children, which she
said could not have been accomplis shed
except from the financial aid given by the
foreign missionary societies of the sun
Iay-schools. She then went on to talk
OF the horrible custom of drowning the
female children by the parents. This, she
said, was not wholly because, as ii was
generally believed, on account OF the eX
pense 10 rear them, but us had been eX-
planned by many mothers, because they did
not wish their daughters to grow up in
ignorance and he looked upon with con-
tempt by the community in which they
lived.
After the lecture the congregation was
entertained by some excellent vocal music
and recitations by the members OF the
primary department., under the direction
of Miss Carrie Stratton. the teacher.

ON THE RESURRECTION.
Rev. Hugh JOhnston's Discourse at the
MetrouOlitap Church.

There was an immense congregation in
the Metropolitan NJ. f. Church yesterda V
morning. The pastor was assisted by Rev.
Dr.. Ames. The choir sang beautifully three
Easterscle and the congregati ton joined
heartily i'll the singing Of the hymns.
DR.. Johnston's sermon was on the Power
of This Resurrection" He said the glorious
fact which this Baster commentaries was
the pillar and ground of the church an1
faith. 1t was the keystone of our reIig.
ion and the foundation of all its lively hopes.
After stating. with great clearness, the
Bible proofs of Christ's rising and ans wer-
ing the various theories of scientific un-
belief from the sworn theory down to the
vision-theory Of Renan, the Telegrav theory
of Keim, and the latest brand new theory
of Martineau, he asked why was not this
truth universally accepted?
Because it is a miracle, and miracle
you know is impossible"
The bias of faith today is toward ma king
itself Independent OF miracle. But that is
impossible. A sinless Christ is a moral
miracle. Christ himself is the most stupen-
dous of miracles.

REV. DIR. BROWN CALLED.
Notorious San Francisco Pastor In
yited to His Old Tacoma Charge.

vlted to His Old Tacoma Charge.
Tacoma, Wash, April "a secret that
up to the present has been well kept, was
call given by the First Congregational
Church of this city to it's old pastor, the
Rev. c. o. Brown. who has had perilous
time holding down his charge in San Fran
cisco.
A large portion of the congregation has
always stood by DR.. Brown during the late
unpleasantness and it was during the trial
that resolut ions of confidence and SYM
pathy were drawn up by the church here
and forwarded to him. DR.. Hallick. the
present incumbent, last Sunday morning,
surprised his congregation by handing in
his resignation to take effect at once and
claiming change OF climate was necessary.
DR.. Browns friends here, who are many in
the church, straightway proceeded to give
him call to this charge and he has indi
Gated that he will probably accept.
