A ROYAL MODEL OF PURITY
Rev. DR.. Johnsfon's Sermon of
Praise for Queen Victoria.
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF VIRTUE
The President Walks to Church
ana Hears England's Loved Queen
Iauded- Sermons by the Pastor
and Bishop Hurst-A Good Mon-
arch and a Better Woman.

President Mckinley took advantage Of
the beauty and the coolness OF the day to
walk to and from church yesterday morn
ing. 1t was an innovation with him since
he has been President, for although 1t
was expected that he would always walk
In fine weather, yesterday was his first
attempt.
Mr., Mckinley went down the Avenue
with a long, swinging, business-like
stride, full of health and vigor, and good
for four miles an hour His fellow
churchgoers on the street and in the cars
watched his progress with interest. How
ever, his walk made him few minutes
late
He reached the church as the opening
prayer was half through, and took pew
near the door. Afterward he walked up
to the regular "PresideAt's pew" the
third from the front on the left center
aisle.
The Metropolitan Church was well filled
yesterday in expectation of Dir. Johnston's
jubilee sermon, sixty Years Queen"
1t was a notwithstanding historical review,
filled with anecdote and illustration and
with the lesson of Queen Victoria's IS virtues
Drought OUT SIrlklnSiy-
DIT. Johnston took for his text, Psalm
45;9, his idea being that beauty and spot
lessness of soul makes beauty OF raiInent
fitting and doubly appropriate.
More than all else of Victoria's reign,
more than the progress ia science and art,
the diffusion of education, the betterment
of the condition OF the masses, that this
jubilee celebrates and commentaries and
is tribute to, III the hearts OF her
people, Is her own nobility and purity Of
heart.
We in America, the speaker said, can
sympathiZe and celebrate with her sub
jects in this. We believe in the reign OF
the people, but also do we believe in the
sovereignty OF character. Queen Victoria
has raised the standard of personal purity.
In every station of life-as Queen, wife,
mother, daughter and friend-she has been
q model. Living in the fierce light Shat
beats upon a throne she has walked every
inch q Queen.
Indeed, it is perhaps one reason that
the English people wish her reign TO con
tinue because they fear that no other can
equal her in this regard.
Her reign has not been the longest in
history, but surely the grandest. No such
jubilee ever took place in the $500 years
slnce Moses first published the laws of
1ubilees.
After the conclusion OF DR.. Johnston's
sermon Bishop Hurst added few words
OF tribute to the Queen.
He spoke in particular Of her gre at friend
illness and charity to all Christian churches
In England outside of the established
church. Although she was, as was fitting,
q rigid member of her own church, she had
not only allowed perfect liberty to all
other beliefs, but had often shown her
friendiiness and her respect for them and
her recognition that they were Christian
faiths too.
An American hymn to the air of God
Save the Queen was sung as the close
Of the service.

FOUNDRY METHODIST CHURCH.
Rev. l.. B. Wilson's Sermon on the
Glory of Christ.

VI ShIISls
The pulpit of Foundry NJ. E. Church was
occupied yesterday morning by Rev. L. b.
Wilson, p. E., who selected as his text
John i, A, "And we beheld His glory
Rev. Mr.. Wilson described the glory re-
ferred to by the apostle as being that
CT the Divine Man, Christ.
"St. John has left out OF his work, -
said the speaker, ''the scene of the trans
figuration on the Mount, whereas the other
apostles have mentioned the incident in
their books. And yet John has left out
Of his book nothing that was absolutely
necessary to the glory Of Christ. John
leads US, step by step, through scenes
whose recital establishes the glory Of
Christ. 1t would be well to read over
and over the work Of John, the dean of
the college of apostles.
.sHe shows US Christ in His touneyings
through dusty streets, along shaded road ds,
beside the rolling waves, upon the mountain
tops, everywhere illustrating His power
OYER sin and disease. The power of JesIs
was always joined with love. Let those
who say that they cannot see Christ, as min
listers have declared concerning Him, ask
themselves, Have we put ourselves in an
attitude to see Him as He is?'
'.Those who will not bow the knee to Him
declared that He is the purest Of The pure
The times., 1897-06-28

and the mightiest OF the mighty. John had
the vision that could only come to one who
has faith, practical faith, rever-
ence and faithfulness. 1t is no
wonder that many do not zee the
glory of Christ. They are too intent on the
quest OF honor and~weaIth; they are in too
great a hastetosee His glory.
There was glory in the pomp AMI
pageantfy in England these last few days,
but it seems TO me there is higher glory
Ill the heart OF her who is first woman,
then queen. Christ's jubilee is 10 come.
.'His jubilee shall come when we shall
all be with Him 20 see Him In His glory.
We shall be there il through peaceful,
trustful hearts we put ourselves in an
attitude to see Christ's glory, as referred
tc In the gospel of Joha.''

SERMON ON HAWAII.
DIR. Collins Describes the Islands
and Urges Annexation.

4 LII. SoifbhS inc
and Urges Annexation.
pr. Varnum d. Collins, the weil-known
| traveller, who has made a number OF voy-
| ages to the Hawaiian Islands, last even
| ing, at the Eastern Presbyterian Church.
| delivered an interesting lecture on these
islands. He said, in part:
The Hawaiian group j S in many re-
| spects the marvel OF the world not only
| in origin, but also in scenic grandeur,
climate and the position IL occupies in the
world commercially, socially and relis-
iously. Where they now stand the Pacific
was once a great plain or ocean. These
islands were lifted from the floor OF the
ocean by volcanic eruption. When / first
visited Hawaii, fifty years ago, the great.
est volcano there was then in eruption,
and the lava was fully 500 feet high. For
years these islands were being formed by
internal forces. Lava poured out of the
mouths OF the VOLCANOES and enlarged each
island.
Another agency in the forma tion of the
islands, and one which appeals to the
poetic fancy, was the working of the coral
insects. Today Honolulu is nothing more
workers.
ltis u remarkable fact that the Ha waiian
Islands with their many large craters
present a acsinlile of the most st1pen-
dous craters of theinoon.
Monaloa, the largest crater of these
islands, presents the greatest spectacle
on the globe. One can look down 900
feet and see waves of spreading lava

tourists travels.
Capt. Cook is reputed to have dis
covered tie islands in 1879. We are
told that when he arrived in the harbor
the natives were observing a kind OF
Sabbath. Three thousand canoes were
drawn up on the shore Cook was wor-
SHIPPED and feasfed for many days as a
god, and finally murdered His vessels
left, carrying the news of the dis
covery Of the great island world of the
Pacific
During the next fifty years Hawaii be-
came he'll on earth. The natives pre-
tended 20 practice nothing like religion or
morals.
Today the Hawaiians are stricken with
the lcprosy of the vices of their fathers
and the pure biooded natives are fast dis
appearing.
Christianity was introduced into the
islands about 1925, and the ancient pagan
ism and rule OF the priestesses and their
oracies were then broken
Hawaii stands today the greatest pos
sible commercial factor of the world,
being the key to the trade of the United
states, ,CentralAmerica, Australasia, Japan,
the great Empire of China, and the new
empire of Russia on the Pacific
There VIII be a mighty change in the
Pacific ere long. Whoever possesses
Hawaii viii hold the key to the situa-
ton.
The Hawaiian Islands should be part,
of the United States by the law Of the
God that has made them already a part
of it. II we do not make the annexa
ton, it should be said of us, as Carlyle
once said of the British: sYe are a nation
of 35,0OO,00O fools"

TRUE CHRISTIANITY.
DR.. Kent Thinks the Churches
Have Departed From 1t.


Rev. DR.. Kent preached an interesting
sermon at the Peoples Church yester-
day, on what Constitutes Christianity?',
He said in part:
Some two weeks ago Rev. DR.. Corey,
In addressing his brethren of the Metho-
dist Ministers Association, of this city,
on the question, .Do the churches of this
age represent Christianity?r answered the
question so directly in the negative that
the more conservative OF the brethren have
been profoundly stirred up by the de-
liverance. On last Monday, therefore,
though Dr.. Corey had been called to New
York city, and could not be present to
defend his position, the association le-
ternined to proceed with a discussion of
his views So far as We can gather from
the published reports, the conservatives,
the men who look upon s'churchianity" as
fairly representing Christianity, had
things pretty much their own way DR..
Stitt was the principal speaker on the
occasion, and he did not hesitate to de.
nounce the views of DR.. Corey roundly
and to intimate that he was drifting away

There is dreamy, meteorological,
aerial air about William A Eddy, who
is known tar and wide as the '.kite sa-
want, j." says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. For years he has made .
study of the question of utilizing kites,
and he has invented several kinds OF
tailless kites. He is now engaged In
photographing scenes by means Of
these kites. Cameras are attached to
them and sent up, and by automatic
means the pictures are taken. Mr..
Eddy began his career as q tornado re-
porter, and was in the habit of travel
ing 500 miles to the scene of . great
storm. He would write articles about
storm centers, and once he astonished
his admirers by writing "The Illusions
of Chance" for q scientific periodical.
This made him q high-class agnostic,
and when Herbert Spencer visited this
country and was given q big dinner et
Delmonico's, Mr.. Eddy was invited.
He is fond of humor and has made .
special study of Artemus Ward, the
sweet singer of Michigan, and Bill
Nye.

Music to March By.

Captain Davis expresses surprise at
the severity of the court martial's SEN
teuce of the marine bandm ster, as he
thought it would be nothing more than
a reprimand. But as to the nature of
the m arch the band had been playing,
and the one Lieut.. Draper wanted per-
formed, the captain says, to make sol
diers march good, march with a well
defined and pronounced rythm must be
played. In that case, the feet of the
soldiers are noticed TO rise from the
ground without any hesI fancy, and a
lively vivacious walk is the ie,ult. But
wnere there is march with an uncer
tain or blind rythm, the feet of the SOL
diers are no iced to drag as though the

cent in the music.

ing houses and 500 feet of pslisading

thirds of the boundary have now been
unearthed. According to the academy
many valuable relics have been OBJ
tanned, among them being . saw, .
wooden ladder seven feet long, q small
door, and q mirror-a feature of Celtic
art. The pottery was abundant and
was ornamental in late Celtic style,
uninfiuenced by Roman art. Hence,
the discovery of this lake village can
not fail to shed light upon one of the

discovery is of great Importance, for it
