THE PRESIDENT AT CHURCH.
Listens to DIR. BristoIs Sermon OF
Mans Possibilities.

Mans Possibilities.
President Mckinley attended the MORN
ing service yesterday at the Metropolitan
NJ. E. Church. There was large con-
gregation present.
The sermon, by the pastor, the Rev,
Frank NJ Bristol. was on THE Posi-
bilities of Man. demonstrating that all
the progress of the world had been effect
ed and was the result of the christianiza-
tion of the human race throughout the
earth. sG
DR.. Bristol took his text from Paul to
the Corinthians. iii-2l,23 Therefore let nc
man glorify in men, for all things are
yours; whether Pauls, or Apollo's or Ce-
pheas's, or the world of life or death OF
things present or things to come. all are
yours, and We are Christ's and Christ is
Gods" In developing this text the speak
er said that Corinth stands out conspicu-
ously in the history of the world to prove
that wealth and intelligence alone cannot
save a people from corruption and decay
At the time of Paul it was a most i'm
portant city, and there were numerous
leaders of the people; these, however
were followed, some for one reason, some
for another. Factional feuds followed
and it was this which occasioned Paul tc
write the epistle in which is found the
text quoted.
The Christian. DR.. Bristol said, is ths
owner of the world, because he is the
heir of God. He discussed the progres:
which has been made during the Chris
tian era. and concluded his sermon witt
the admonition that God will hold us al
individually responsible for the perform
ance of the mission he has delegated t.

Mr. Oscar Hanson of Hyde Park, is the second
person in this city-a Lincoln Park policeman be-
ing the first-to demonstrate 4 paradoxical phase
of the suicide temperament That is TO say, he
has shown that would-be suicide be scared
from his purpose by threatening to kill him. In
Mr.. Hanson's experiment the candidate for self
destruction young woman, who waded out
into the lake at Fifty-ihird Street and prepared
to drown herself. Mr.. Hanson, who was fortu-
nately accompanied by double-barreled shotgun,
witnessed the proceedings with much discompos-
ure, but was at length inspired by happy idea.
Leveling his shotgun at the head of the suicidal
damsel, who was all but submerged, he ran
his eye along the barrel and remarked pleasantly
yet firmly: IF you try to duck under ] will
blow the top of your head OFF, The young wo-
man wavered. hestated, and was lost-or rather
saved. for Mr. Hanson's brother waded in and
pulled her 10 dry land We leave to psycholo-
gists the task of explaining this remarkable phe-
nomenon, in which the person who courts death
is thrown into terror at the prospect of attaining
her desire.

WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK /?

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food called GRAIN-O? 1t
IS delicious and nourishing and takes the
place of coffee. The more Grain-O you
give the children the more health you
distribute through their system. Grain-O
IS made of pure grains, and when prop
erly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee, but costs about one
quarter as much. All grocers sell it.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

The magnificent ball given Friday night
by the Duke and Duchess of Portland at
their ancestral home, Welbeck Abbey. in
honor of the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, is the talk of London town.
Nothing regally splendid has been seen
in England since the festivities of the
queens Jubilee and one of the remark
able things about the function, according
to dispatches, is that the duke is not
given to gayety or display of any sort
and rarely entertains
Among the chosen few selected to dance
in the royal quadrille was Lady CurZon
of keddleston, who was beautiful in Cr-
child mauve satin embroidered in silver
designs. The hostess, who is one of the
handsomest representatives of British
aristocracy, wore white satin flowered
with silver and veiled with priceless lace
Her tiara, girdle and necklace of dia-
monds and rare stones were worth con-
siderably more than an average kings
ransom and in contrast to their flashing
colors were malmaison carnations, which
she wore in her corsage and hair
The picture gallery, with its collection
of family portraits and modern and an
cient art, served for a ball room, the
walls being partly screened by palm trees
and other tropical foliage, through which
twinkled myriads of electric lights
The supper table was laden with gold
service worth half million of dollars
each plate of virgin metal being wreathed
with flowers in a raised design.
