by humorous reference TO the prominence
given the two ends of the city up to this
point in the exercises. Now there
couldn't be ends without middle. A
teacher in deaf mute CT llege once wrote
on the board that old question, "What
Is the chief end Of man?' After long
pondering one of the pupils wrote the
answer: "His head, should think. -
DR.. jenkins then went on to say that
| there must be body where there are
head and feet, and he must come in as
representative of the body of Port
land Congregationalism. Speaking OF
lchurch building he said, it would be
difficult to travel to any other city IN
New England where so many buildings
of public use have been erected within
five years. 1t is wonderful that within
these last five years-when we have not
been supposed to be prosperous IN bust
ness way-buildings Of such size and i'm
portance should have been erected.
DIR. Jenkins then enumerated the re-
building of State street church, the Column
bia, Congress Square hotel, Baxter block,
The Jefferson, the new elevator, the Y.
M. G. A. building. the stone cathedral
Of St. Lawrence church, and the Con-
gregational churches at South Portland
and at West End.
DR.. Jenkins then congratulated the
church upon its active membership. It
was great thing to be committed to
any enterprise; but 1t was a greater
thing to be committed to an enterprise
with an unselfsh, moral and religions
purpose.
He recalled description of Swiss
church where Victor Hugo saw this mot
to: "Peace to those coming in. safety
to those going out" I read it and
thought how true it ought to be of every
church in the world. Many good things
have been said of this church tonight.
but let this always be said Of 1t, that 1t
shall be peace to all who come In, and
safety to all who go out.
After solo by Miss Alice M. Littletleld
a letter from Rev. DIR. J. G. Merrill was
read by Mr.. e. G. Milliken.
Rev. G. W. Reynolds Of Gorham. was
introduced as the pastor of church
that has helped the West End church
greatly. He said he was present because
of his interest and love in the pastor.
He baptized him into the Congregation
al church. Three Free Will Baptist min
listers applied and he only was accepted.
Mr.. Reynolds said he was proud to have
sent here Mr.. Bean, who is one of the best
preachers in the city. There was one
thing that the Congregationalists lacked
and that was the missionary spirit. This
church did have this spirit, and this
chapel would encourage and strengthen
the social spirit which must 60 along
with the missionary spirit
The congregation sang "AIl hail the
power of Jesus name," after whioh Rev.
Mr.. Smythe pronounced the benediction.

GOVERNMENT DEFEATED.
Church Achieves Victory in
nnepeg-Lauzon is
Elected.

Winnipeg, Man, Feb. 22.-The re-
turns from the remote rural districts Of
ST. Boniface, which were not to hand
until II o'clock this morning, have com
pletely changed the aspect of the re-
suit of the election. All the calculation
of shreWd politicians seem so far to
have been upset, but the claims of the
Laurier- GreenWay party of a moral vic
tory on the parOchial school settlement
was altogether too premature.
The rural districts seen to have gone
almost solidly for Archbishop Langevin's
candidate. The church, with all returns
in, seems to have achieved an unqualified
victory. Lauzon has between $50 and
100 majority in 4 total vote cast Of about
600.
In Canadian elections, if the defeated
candidate does not receive one-half the
number Of votes cast for his opponent he
loses his cash deposit. This ignominy
was only escaped by the government can
ddate by few votes.
Archbishop Langevin declares himself
as well satisfied with the result as show
ing Roman Catholic sentiment to be hos
tile to the plan of settlement.

ARCHBISHOP GRACE DEAD.
Man Who Built Up the Diocese Of
ST. Paul-Rt. Rev. Ireland's
Predecessor.

st. Paul, Mimi. Feb 22.-Most Rev.
Thomas L. Grace, formerly bishop of
st. Paul, and latterly titular archbishop
Of Siunia, died at 8 this morning at the
age Of SO. He fell a victim to bronchitis
about six weeks ago and sank gradual
ly and painlessly till, attended by the
clergy of the city, he passed away. The
funeral will take place Thursday at 10
a. m. from the cathedral st. Paul
Thomas Grace was born in Charleston.
S. c., in 1914. Having completed the
collegiate studies and entered the Domin-
lean order, he went to Rome where he
prosecuted the studies embraced in the
theological course. Shortly after ordina-
ton he was placed in charge of a parish
in Memphis, where St. Peters church
stands splendid monument to his mem

of the diocese of ST. Paul
then frontier settlement. He was con-
secrated bishop IN the spring of that year,
succeeding Joseph Cretin the first bish-
op. With what zeal and success he car
RED ON the work appOrtiOned TO him, the
history of the diocese of st. Paul tells in
counting the story Of the various insti-
tons and establishments that have
rung up during those years. In July,
-5S4, finding the burden too heavy for
MS tagging energies, he resigned the
bishopric of St. Paul into the hands of
John Ireland, present archbishop.
A prominent Catholic clergyman said
today: archbishop Grace was a re-
markable figure in the American episco-
pate He has left the impress of his
great but retiring soul upon the church.
Those who came into contact with him
could not fail to admire him for his puri-
ty Of soul, refinement of mind and gra-
ciousness of manner. While he has not
taken much part in church affairs Of late
years, he has always kept in touch with
the process of events and has sown the
seeds of work that will appear during
many years to come. He was certainly
remarkable, for piety, scholarship, gen
mind"
