A CALIFORNIA SERMON
Preached By One Whose Father Was
McKinley's Pastor.


McKinley's Pastor.
San Francisco, Dec 12-Dr. Charles
Edward Locke, the pastor of Central
Methodist church, in his sermon this
evening made the following reference
to the death of Mrs. Mckinley, the
mother of the president:
DR.. Locke was discussing the sub
ject. What Shall I do With My
Doubts?'
After having shown the penalty Of
doubt and the sad termination of the
lives of some of the great doubters,
he said: But let me also remind you
of the rewards of faith and of the
transfigurative glory in which many
believers have swept through the
shadows of death into the splendors of
eternity. AS a nation, we bend today
with a grief-stricken family over the
bier of the mother of the president.
You will permit me to speak as one
who mourns in a particular sense on
account of this bereavement. When 1
was a school boy, my father was the
honored pastor of the Mckinley family.
Among my most cherished memories
of those happy days, are the frequent
occasions when the pastor and his
family were invited to accept the
COluldl hospitality VI Ille hCI>lIlSy
fireside.
I'm the translation of mother Nc
Kinley we realize the vision of one of
Gods princesses and happy Christians
"a loving and prayerful wife and
mother She has now joined her gall
liant husband who, five years ago, pre-
coded her to the better world. He was
a stalwart and invineible defender of
the faith, in belief and practice, and
died triumphantly, like the warrior
who wraps the drapery of his couch
around him and lies down to pleasant
dreams
CAS- the president weeps today. we
weep with him. Doubtless ne has
often said, all that am, I owe to my
Christian parents
1T is not hard to understand the
remarkable career of President Nc
kinney if you have been honored with
acquaintanceship in the home in which
he was born and trained. 1t was an
ideal Christian home. Mrs. Mckinley
was one of the nations truest mothers
Pure Christianity is the secret OF
happy and successful living and peace
full and triumphant dying"
