Capt MceKe studied FOL the ninistryearly
in life and as lay preacher OF the Metho-
dist church has frequently delivered ex
ceptionally good sermons. There was
much comment yesterday on his strong
and original exposition or the text.
The golden rule, he said. is the climax
OF the whole sermon ON the mount which
covers three chapters of Matthew and
contains the heautitudes, the mosaic maxim
and the other many parts. The rule is

ton In a building like this one. He
saws: Life is a narrow vale between
two eternities.' Contrast this, the t.,sti-
mony Of ouI own, say, with that OF he Of
Tarsus, whose words contain nothing un-
certain. The difference is simply because
God has let him see his own salvation.
'.How has God made salvation seem re-
liable? First, by prophecy. No early
prophets spoke OF the coming deliverer.
and while there were scores of them, that
all point to Christ and all harmonic.
There We're no less than three distinct
prophecies, all of which came true. When
we look back on them in the light Of
history we find that every single prophecy
was fulfilled and that all harmonized-
Gladstone said that If a single prophecy
came true, it was alone enough TO prove
the sacredness of the book
again, God fixed the stamp Of His
authority on Christ by miracles. He was
known among men as an ordinary earpen-
ter's son, but from the marriage feast on
Canea tu the garden of Gethsemane He
showed himself by His miracles as high
above men as heaven is above earth. He
could do anything He wanted TO do.
Even the fact that Lazarus lay in the
when scaled In The tomb with the double
marks of Roman and Jewish authority,
He arose from the dead. What did this
mean? IL was the stamp of God ON Jesus
Christ. Nc living soul has succeeded in
conyicting Jesus Christ of any sin. Null
titudcs have tried. All like Plate have
said Il find no fault with him.
THE success OF the Christian faith Is
True, other faiths have succeeded also,
but by ways which lead us to think sus-
piciously Of them
There i s not hing that can Come up and
shake your faith In Christianity. 1t
cannot be made weak by your own opinion
or judgment, nor by what you may read
or hear. 1t tells the only way, and
grows out OF the faith that God has
stamped on Jesus Christ. 1t stood then.

all the other governments OF the earth,
was pra ctically divided against itself
lie considered this fact especially note
worthy, on account OF the time-ehe
birth of Christ The disintegration of the
Roman Empire marked the end OF
monarchy.
All through the dark middle ages the
fires of republicansm smouldered, and
those or monarchies We're gradually ex-
tinguisheG. The republic is symbolic
of freedom. and it has been firmly rooted
on our shores. 1t is the most favored
for the expansion OF Christianity be-
cause it gives free rein to thought and
does not attempt to govern except by the
exercise OF reason. Hence the spread of
Christianity had been greatest under our
enlightened Government.
AS number OF dark, threatening clouds
came up at this stage of the proceed
ings. the work of laying the cornerstone
was pushed forward rapidly. A aunlber
of articles designed to perpetuate, for all
time, the character of the building and
the age in which we live, were placed
in a copper box inside OF. the stone.
These articles included specimens of the
daily papers OF Washington, coins, a Bible,
religious papers connected with the Con
grcgational denomination, andyarions other
articles which it was thought might be
useful to antiquarians of the future. The
heavy stone was then raised OH wind
lass, some mortar was strewn over the
setting, and the stone was then slowly
lowered, being guided In to place by Rev.
DR.. Fishburn, who striking the stone
three times with his trowel, said
In the name OF the Father, and of the
Son, ana OF the Holy Ghost, Amen We lay
the corner stone of an edifice To be here
erected TO be known as the Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church, to be devoted to
tie glory of God and the service of man.
Other foundation can NO man lay than tina l
which islaid, which is Jesus Christ Amen. !"
Rev. Isaac Clark then lead the congre-
CATION in prayer, and the exercises were
brought to a close with hymn and a
benediction pronounced by Rev B. n.
Seymour, the moderator of the Washington
Congregational Society

RELIGIONS SHOULD BE UNITED.


Then, DR.. Butler Says, Sin Would
BE RepeIled.
The congregations of Luther Place Mem
orial and Kellar Memorial Churches com
bined forces for religious worship yesterday
morning and held services at the former
church, Rev G. H. Butler. pastor Of K eller
Church, conducting the services. The con
solidation was due to the fact that Rev.
j. G.. Butler, pastor of Luther Place
Church, is at present out of town, and
Rev c. II. Butler volunteered not only to
fill the vacant pulpit but also to bring
his own flock with him.
Mr.. Buffers sermon was fraught with
much interest. He selected his text from
the third cnapter of Genesis, where God
to punish Eve, condemns that her seed
shall hencefoIth be wounded in the heel
by the serpent, and that they shall be
lame. DIR. Butler pointed out how ever
lasting this decree is, and how it affects
us even today, hundreds of years after it
was uttered. We are a great nation, a
most progressive nation, he said, and we
are going forward in a mighty march of
progress, yet we are all wounded in the
heel by Satan. Satan attacks US through
religion, and has severed the Christian
religion into nunberiess denominations
which, while they all worship GUd, dis
agree On minor points. If all religions
were united TO resist the serpent sin, it
could be Tepeled. Yet ever does the
serpent strike us, figurativeiy, and We
march onward. lame and hating, to sal
walton. DI. Butler said ne hoped the
time would soon come when the different
nominations would unite, and would
magnify the divine, and not the human.
1t were time that determined resistance
were made against the devil, who, by
pIicking our heels, forces us to go lame
and to halt by the wa yside.

THE SEAL OF GOD ON CHRIST.
DR.. Stewards Sermon at the Fourth
presbyteriau Church.

DR.. Stewards Sermon at the Fourth
presbyterian Church.
Rev DR.. Stewart, of Kansas, filled the
pulpit Of the Fourth Presbyterian Church at
the yesterday morning service. He preached
from the text: Him hath God the Fa ther
sealed" He said in part: This means
that God placed the stamp OF authority on
Christ, making him the center and soul Of
salvation. There are people who refuse To
live by the Christian philosophy, and live
by resting their hopes in other things Let
US take two representative men who re-
jected Christ, and look at them in the light
OF .heir own testimony and see how they
spoke.
David Hume, In England, one day to-
ward the end of his life, said that, after
studying his own philosophy, he felt af-
frighted at the dispute and doubt of his
own teaching, and that he was filled with
uncert ainty OF the future. Then listen

can orator, whose name dislike to men

supplication let your requests be known

work trying to arrange so that these
companies can have the benefit of the
field day. 1t is hard for the men to
leave their work at this season, and an
other thing that bothers is the lack of
ground upon which to drill. Several of
the other commands have been heard
from and all are highly in favor of the
field day.
