at Washington Grove.
Three Meetings Yesterday At
tended by Many Visitors
From Washington.

The first summer convention of the
Christian and Missionary Alliance of the
District of Columbia convened yesterday
at Washington Grove. There were three
meetings held during the day, each of
which was well attended, both by visitors
from the Immediate neighborhood aud
Washington.
The purpose of the alliance is the evan
gelization of the world and this, il is be-
lieved, can be easiest accomplished by
preaching the fourfold gospel OF the full
ness Of Christ. The basic principles ur
articles OF faith upon which the alliance
is founded are, first, Christ, our savior
from sin; secord, Christ, our sanctiiier or
power over sin; third, Christ. our healer,
physica! IS well us spiritual and. fourth,
Christ, our coming king.
The alliance was founded about fifteen
years ago by the Rev. A. b. Simpson, OF
New York city, and for many years ac-
complished much 1t was found, how.
ever, that il could not be a complete sue
cess without doing missionary work, and
this branch was added TO the others about
six years later Since then the organiza-
tion has made rapid progress in every
way AMI now has a membership OF be-
tween 300, 900 and 100000.
TIE alliance has also established a mis-
sionary TRIMMING school in New York and

THE PANGs OF CONSCIENCE,
DIR. Baker breaches at the Metro
politan NJ. Il. Church.

Rev. Henry Baker, d. D., preached the
sermon at the Metropolitan M e. Church
yesterday in the absence of the rector,
DR.. Johnston. Dr. Baker is mepiber OF
the congregation of the Metropolitan.
The text chosen by DR.. Baker vas read
from Proverbs, "A wounded spirit who
can bear?" The center of his thought
was the possibility of the Immortality OF
conscience, wounded spirit
He spoke of the pain that comes to us
from losses, from plans that go amiss,
from all grievous things that come 10 us
because of our own fault. A man will
hear up bravely and 90 forward after mis-
fortune If he have not also To bear the
pangs of conscience.
If fortune is lost everything goes, >and
a man must begin again at the beginning.
He does it courageously and sometimes
with hardly a murmur. But If guilty in.
dulgenee, the following of sin brings on
its just reward; il one brings misery and
suffering on ones family by ones acts,
the guilt bears heavily. Remorse is a
terrible punishment.
DR.. Baker pictured the condition OF one
suffering etemally from conscience, living
on with the thought OF his sins and their
dire consequences forever with him. He
did not aDude to physical he'll, but
let his hearers draw the inference that
the hell OF a wounded spirit would be
a terrible punishment.
Dr. Johnston is expected TO return tc
the city from his trip To Europe during
the first two weeks Of next month.

Rev. DIR. Lemon ExtoIs the Virtues
of the Saint.

Oh Une ShlUJs
Re2. DR.. Lemon, the former pastor of
Gorsuch NJ. E. Church, occupied the pulpit
at Foundry Church last night. He selected
his text from the sixth chapter OF Acts,
the fifty fth verse: And he was full
Of his faith of the Holy Ghost"
Dr. Lemon began his remarks by a refer
ence to the beautiful, symmetrical charac-
ter of Stephen, and pointed out that there
We're two essential elements necessary for
this character faith and the courage Of
conviction. stephens brilliancy in ut
terance and charm OF manner We're due. ;"
the preacher said, ''in a great degree to
these two distinctive features" Human
nature is wonderful study. Men love
cin, but it is so because we are born in
sin. But the infidelity which once had
\ focthpld no longer exists. Truth has
wiped it out. for truth has, shall and al
ways will triumph.
Truth crushed to. earth shah rise
again Our faith must be clear and strong
and cure as the sunlight, and must be re-
piete with prowess and power. We must
live under the shadow OF the cross, and
our basis of faith must be ever expanding
Oh, the Transforming power OF the Son of
God. How He changes us from the vilest
sinners to upright, honest men and
women. Faith Is power. fun of the Holy
Ghost, and must perrneate our lives as
sound does the air.
"Let us emulate the beautiful character
of Stephen, with is magnificent combina-
ton OF meekness, temperance. gentleness
piety, love and reverence. Faith Is just
as werful as it w as then, and Christ Ii
just as willing to receive and bless u.s.

Award Chester, wife of DR.. Chester, the
former pastor of the Metropolitan Pres
byterian Church, was held from the resi-.
dence, No. 1925 g4fteenth street, yester-

fact that the interment was at Harrisburg,
the service was very simple.
Rev. Mr.. Warren read the burial service
and made few brief remarks On the
simple but beautiful life of the dead
woman. The modest virtue of this be-
loved lady, who has been more than
mother TO me, were not paraded before the
public. She was more than content that
her Lord alone should know what she did
Her Noble qualities and beautiful character
had won her hosts Of friends, all of whom
sincerely mourn her loss today As d
princess royal she has passed through the
pear1y gates and treads today the pa tbs OF
gold.'
Mr. Warren spoke Of the old mother
| ninety years old who had outlived the
| daughter, and of the sublime love and
trust in the ever present Christ, that was
| helping her to bear the affliction.
| DR.. Chester was confined TO his bed by
sickness and was unable to accompany
the remains to their last resting place.
| Mrs. Chester was seventy years old an6
