DR.. HALE ON IMMORTALITY
Strong Sermon by the Noted Boston
Divine at All Souls.
An Unusually Large Congregation
ciaI Music by the Choir.

All Souls Church, at Fourteenth ant
| l. streets northwest, never contained q
| larger congregation than ii did yester
| day morning. The announcement thai Rev
DR.. Edward Everett Hale, the noted pastor
OF the South Congregational Church. Bos
ton, would preach was the attraction that
brought SO many. TO morning worship
When Dr. Hale iegan the services every
pew i'll the church was filled, and as
many chairs as possible had been placed
in the aiSles, The gallery was equally
crowded, and many persons were st3nC-
ing beneathit. y large number who visited
the church were unable 10 gain adinis-
sion
Cut roses and palms were placed in
profusion about the altar, and the choir,
which is one OF the Lest in the city, sang
special musical selections. At the cunclu-
sion OF the services. many of the congre-
cation went To the altar and shook hands
with the aged divine.
Rev. DR.. Hale is venerable in appearance
but vigorous in speech. He wears beard
and his hair is long. He, In appearance
resembles much the late William Cullen
Bryant, who for many years was close
friend OF the clergyman. DR.. Hale selected
for his subject, How immOrtals live, and
his tex was taken from Cor. ii:a-1O.
at is one thing to say one believes in
immortality said Dr.. Hale, but it is
qaite another tolive animmortaI Think
how little there isin the -four gospels which
can be cited in words tO a person uneasy
about infinite life ,as one cites argument.
There is 10 demonstration of Immortality
suggested or even attempted. OntRe other
hand, every important conversation takes
immortality absolutely for granted. 1t is
q reality where no argument is needed
1t has been settled once aud forever You
do not argue it; you do not prove it
any more than you prove the existence
of air or the presence ofgravitation What
one does see is that Jesus lives rs an i'm
mortal lives. He is always looking out
always take a secondary and inferior
place. Love, society, faith, prayer, hope,
heaven, these are the primary matters
"TheSe are what on talks about, thinks
about and lives for He does not so much
as say that he believes in immortality, or
that they must, hut he lives an inn
mortal would live, ana he takes it for
granted that you Will. / do not regard
this as merely an illustration of his evi-
dent dislike of talk where 1t is contrasted
with work. 1t is clear all along that he
detests the people OF eager expression,
who say. Lord, Lord but do not the
things which He says.
ITO live as an immortal lives is very
different matter How often in history
a great man or woman, true child of God,
has done Gods work as God Himself
might do it, but who had no power of
describing the deed when it was done
To live as au immortal means that one uses
the things of earth and time for infinite
results. The Saviour directs His disciples
to use the things of this world in such a
manner that. when they fail, as they must
fail, the angels of light may receive them
into everlasting habitations."

THE SOCIAL. STATE OF MAN.
Text of Rev. DR.. StaffOrd's Sermon
at st. Patrick's.

at st. Patrick's.
Notwithstanding the severe rain storm
last night st. Patrick's Catholic Church
on Tenth, near G street northwest, was
crowded by congregation vino desired To
hear Rev. Dr. Stafford, assistant pastor,
talk about the social state of mankind
DIR. Stafford began by referring 10 the
creation Of man and woman, and declared
that whenever beings are alike i'll general
way, but have different individuality, So
ciety is created, and that without such a
bond of unity there would be nothing but
chaos Man. declared DR.. Sta ford,
was TO reach his perfection by society.
It is society that has built cities and enI-
pires, taught religion and science, and
which led the human race through the
vicissitudes of its infancy. Man is every
where a social being and q religious being
In all r.lankind may be found the rudi-
ments of social life.
There are men who deny society as they
DO religion and science, and say that So
ciety is the source of all evils, and that in
order for the human race To make progress
society must first be destroyed The reason
these men deny society is because it not
not only gives rights To man. but also im-
poses Obligations Society means labor and
ohe1ieuce and these are disagreedble TO
such men, aud therefore the socialist and
anarchist would throw off society, which
is natural TO man. When the missionary
appears before the unciyiiZed savages they
gather about him and Ia Ike on the way of
civilized lIfe. No nation has ever civilized
itself Wherever n nation has lest its civil
ization it has remained n that condition
until aid came toit from without.
Another reason why men rebel against
the social state is that society and religion
go together. They are twin sisters and
they support each other: therefore. anti
religious Thought produces anti-so1al
theories Religion and society 90 together.
stand together, rail- together. At the be
ginning God created the social state and
it is therefore ma tural to man. tits neces-
sary TO man, for in it man finds his per
fection II a man is cut off from social
life, he seeks 1t with the brute creation
He takes comfort with his dog and re-
j0iCes at the animals recognition. If
confined in prison he will watch an in
sect, he will make friends with 1t, and

his heart is filled with JOY. He feels that
he is not a1one''

THE HEBREW PROPHETS.
A Forcible Sermon on Their Work
by Rev. A. G.. Rogers

Rev A G. Rogers, d. D., at the morning
terday preached a forcible sermon upon
THE Hebrew Prophets
He opened with brief account of the
works and prophesies of the prophets He
said: The prophetic writings are very
much misunderstood. The method OF treat
ing them in textical manner, by put
ting the texts together in a mosaic is a
very defective one. The more accurate
is the historical method of study The
prophets were the Christian statesmen
and reformers of their times. When idol
airy was rampant they taught that there
could be no division between secular and
sacred matters. In the suffering that has
come to America and to Cuba, aud in the
sorrow that S about to come to Crete, it
is matter of deep, poignant regret that
nations are influenced by the mere ma
terial emolument of the hour,
The splendid mon otheiSm and good ethics
Of the prophets, when compared to the
polytheism and depraved moral tone of
IsraeIs surrounding nations indicate divine
care and teaching.
But the most beautiful idea all through
them is that thread of hope, of unconquer-
able hope, manifesting itself at first as a
beginning of twilight, and gradually un-
folding itself into the full light of day,
serving to stimulate and develop until the
time should come when the nation should
be ransomed and free.

the five thousand will feed all the worlds
hunger.
"Those who could only scrape handful
of lint for "a wounded soldier, those who
could only administer to old age in its
decrepitude, those who could only coax
a poor waif of the street to go back home
to her God, those who could only lift a
little child in the arms Of Christ, will
have as much right to take part in the
ovation to the Lord Jesus Christ as
Chrysostom-
1T will be your victory and mine as
certainly as Christ's. He. the conqUeror,
We, shouting in His train. Christ, the
victor will pick out the huTnblest of His
disciples in the crowd, and turning half
around on the white horse of victory, He
shall point her out for approval by the
multitude as He says: She did what she
could Then putting His hand ON the
head OF some man who, by his industry,
made one talent do the work of ten, He
will say, Thou hast been faithful over
few things-I will make thee ruler over
many Cities"

To Be Dedicated at West Point by
President Mckinley.

| The great Battle Monument at West
| Point has been completed. The accept
! ance of this monument by West Point
1 and its dedication, on the 31s OF next
| month, will be a conspicuous military
| pageant President Mckinley and Cabi-
net, ex-President Cleveland, and many
| prominent military and political people
| will participate.
This towering shaft of granite is erected
| to perpetuate the names and gallantry Of
the officers and enlisted men of the regu-
lar army who fell in battles of the late
war.
The Battle Monument project was started
| immediately after the close of the war
Every surviving soldier and officer in the
regular army was assessed for the ex-
peBSes.
The late Major Gen. George B. Mcclellan
took an active part in making the pre-
Iminary arrangements. Owing to his popu-
larity with the inen OF the regular Army,
he was selected to dedicate the ground on
which the monument stands. But imme-
diately after the dedicatory exercises
the project was dropped and the money
collected was placed in bank, and remained
there undisturbed until about five years
ago, when Brigadisr-Gen. Wilson, now
Chief OF Engineers, resuscitated the scheme
and worked so persstently that the pres
ent beautiful piece OF workmanship which
overlooks the Hudson is the result of his
interchangeable labors.
The shaft is eighty feet high. Surmonnt-
ing this, perched on a large granite ball.
is a winged, draped figure of Fame, with
trumpet in her hands, about to spread
abroad the glad tidings of peace. This
figure is one OF Macmonnies' conceptions.
and replaced his figure OF victory
which was Objectionable to the military
art critics at the Academy.
The distinguished feature OF the monu-
ment is the bronze tablets which encircIe
the base of the shaft. These tablets con-
tain the name and rank of every sohlier
and officer of the regular Army who was
killed in the war. To compile these, some
thousands of names, was hereulean task,
and il required months OF incessant labor
There was some objection to placing the
names OF the enlisted men on the tablets
hut this the authorities would not sus-
tain.

''It seems to me that the children at

Miss Vanderbiit's style is, as will be
seen, sincere and direct. 1t is, per-
haps, even too much dominated by the
realism of the later schools, but there are
touches of impressionism, too, that relieve
it from tediousneSs.
Washington has not yet made literary
lion of Miss Vanderbilt, but she may ex-
pect something of this kind, il she con-
tinues in her editorial way.

SHE LIKES WASHINGTON.
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt Writes Her
Impressions for "Spring blossoms.

| Miss Gladys Vanderbilt Writes Her
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, aged ten, daugh-
ter OF Cornelius Vanderbilt, has expressed
| herself in very glowing and complimentary
terms with regard to Washington. She
likes it better than New York. She would
like to live here all the time.
She has said this editoriaIly in her own
paper.
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt is the first of
her race to enter literature. No other
Vanderbilt has ever written anything
except checks. The writing on checks is
very highly priced. 1t probably has a
wider range of appreciation than any
other writing, but it is not literature
Miss Gladys is one of the three editors OF
"Spring Blossoms,' paper published for
the benefit of the Episcopal Church Mission
House of New York. She is also regular
contributor to its columns. She has chosen
for her pen name "Gladys W The sub
scrption price of this paper of Miss Van
derbilt's is stated as 81 cents If you will;
5 cents if you must" The circulation has
reached a total of 216, according to the
circulation editor, and it is not believed

it's mission, since t started trifle over
$50. 1t is said that the circulation is
growing rapidly, and that more will be
added to this sum with every number
When Miss Vanderbilt moved to Wash
fngton several weeks ago, she spent few
days in observation, more than many
writer's take in securing first impress
sions, and then wrote for "Spring Bios
sons" this most flattering panegyric:

worldly affairs, how much more true, DR..
Whitman asked, must it be when we think
of man in relation to God and eternity. 1t
is only when life is regarded as the center
ofinfluence for the elevation anil advance
ment Of others, that the true conception
Of it can be formed.
Again we find. 1.-The part is greater than
the whole" This proposition, Dr. Whit
man said, is contrary to reason and COIN
mon sense, and is mathematical impos-
sibiIity, but it is used in connection with
the fact that it is failing Of humanity
to try and crowd too many things on our
minds or attention at once. Those who do
this never make success. They may be
called lacks of all trades, but masters
of nonc''
Addition is multiplication is another
proposition which is not so easily under
stood. 1t is nevertheless true, for no
one win doubt that it is better for two
to walk together
1--WE are also told" Dr. Whitman said,
that the far conditions are the near"
This again seems to run contrary to
reason, but if a man gets in line with
tire forces he will soon see nature doing the
work. 1t is a mistake, DR.. Whitman said,
to give our sole attention to the prob
lens which Immediately confront us. Sal
walton will not come to Washington Until
the paths of the farthest end of the
earth are beat
DR.. Whitman closed by saying that the
church or man who has not the time
inclination to attend to the far off, and
prays for and places all hope III his inn
mediate surroundings, is simply shutting
himself up in a condition of dry rot.
Our aim should be, said he, to help all,
for we can accomplish all things with the
aid OF Him who gives us life and strength.

PARADoXFs OF THE BIBLE.
DR.. whitman Interprets the Mean

ing of Apparent AbsurdftieS.
The Rev. B. L. Whitman, president OF
the Columbian University, preached the
sermon at communion service yesterday
at Calvary Baptist Church. The subject of
his discourse was the "ParadoXes of the
Bible, the force and meaning of which the
reverend speaker explained by many ex-
ampies.
The Scripture, DR.. Whitman said, was
a succession of paradoxes. He then Sc
lected four of the most familiar and simple
and explained the meaning of their ap-
narently wholly contradictory terms. The
first example used was, 1.-The true way
TO get is to give" At first thought the
said, this statement appears llyiIlogical,
not to say unnatural On examination,
however, the seeming paradox is found to
be true In illustration of this he cited ex-
amples o' how business men gave away to
get in return. Parents spend all they can
afford in educating and fitting children
for the battles of life. This often seems
a waste of the best years OF their lives, but
it is all done in the hope of better and
greater returns in after years. If this is
true then of man, IN his connection with
