REV. D. c. MERRlMAN.
His First Sermon Since His Return
from Europe.

Rev Daniel c. Merriman preached at
Central church yesterday for the first
time since last spring when he left for
Europe. His sermon was taken from the
text in Ephesians, ii:19-2O.
Dr. Merriman said in part: It is %
weeks this morning since l last stood in
TINS place to speak. AS I return to these
familiar scenes, my heart is filled with
varied emotions of gratitude, and of
sympathy and affection for you. l am
deeply impressed with two great facts:
on the one side with the changea bleness
and on the other side with the perna-
nence of human life. l am struck with
the two great and contrasted realities
the littleness and emptiness of the day
ana of the individual man in his day.
and with the greatness and sublimity
OF the ages and mankind in it's collec-
tive movement through the ages.
think that travel in foreign lands is
htted both to emphasize and to resolve
this contrast between the fragility and
transitioness of the individual on the
one hand and the worth and perma-
nence of the race in God on the other
hand. The man who always abides at
home and continues through life in one
round, has many advantages over the
Wanderer. He is apt to form very def
mite opinions perhaps they might be
called prejudices, and to hold them very
finely. His affections and sympathies.
though sometimes narrow, are pretty
sure to be genuine and intense. On the
other hand, the man who journeys,
though he is undoubtedly exposed to
some Generalization and needs faith
and settled convictions to keep him
self steady yet if he have a home to
which he relates his wanderings, gains
by his travels a certain insight into and
familiarity with the sublimer move
ments of creation, history, institutions.
the race, and of God in them, which help
to emancipate him from the temporal,
and give him, through all the changes
Of his individual life, real hold on the
eternal.
The weary, hungry, wounded soldier
who thinks himself of no account and is
about to drop out of ranks, is inspired
to fresh effort, is nerved to higher deeds
Of valor by the forward invincible rush
to battle of the great host of which he
forms but an insignificant atom. So let
it be with us here. Let.us find ourselves
anew as those who under Christ are
fellow citizens with the saints and of
the victorious household of God

Richard Croker Willing to
Lend a Hand to
Projects Success.

New York, Sept. 24.-All the general
arrangements for the reception of Ad-
miral Dewey are now completed, but
there are few minor details to be set
tied. The majority of these cannot be
attended to until after the arrival Of
the admiral and his wishes have bean
consulted. The subcommittee have
about finished their work, and have
presented their reports to the general
committee. The committee on distrihu-
ton of tickets was at work all TODAY
in The mayors office until late III the
night. They apportioned nearly 20, ono
tickets, all there. were at their dispos-
al There were applications for more
than 100000. Their work did not in
clude the distribution of tickets to the
municipal associations. These tickets
will be at the disposal of the municipal
legislators and the president of the
board of education.
The committee on stands will hold
Its final meeting tomorrow and decide
exactly what will be the capacity of
the new stands. If the committee
stands for all the expenditures il has
authorized it will have spent more than
$4,000 in excess of the first apprcpria-
ton made to 1t of $50 900, and $4,000 more
than it has in sight, even if the lnuni-
clpal association votes to give IL The
additional $4,000 that is to be asked
for at Tuesdays meeting Of the Ter

THE MAN OF cALILEE.
Rev. Frank [. Phaien's First Sermon
at Church of the Unity.

Rev. Frank [. Phalen's First Sermon
at Church of the Unity.
Rev. Frank L. Phalen the new pastor
at the Church of the Unity, preached
his first sermon there yesterday morn
ing on the subject, 1.-THE religion of the
master" taking his text from Luke w.,
1919
In part he said: Around the name
and gospel of the man of Galilee the
world has fought and struggled, specu-
lated and prayed for 1000 years. Often
his main purpose, which was to uplift
and perfect humanity, has been miscon-
ceived, and controversy and bitterness
have been generated instead Of sweet
ness and light But at last we have
come to an age when the leaders and
guides of the world have reached an
agreement that religion is here not to
divide and destroy humanity, but to
unite men in the service of truth and
righteousness and love. There is al
ways a tendency, and it has been the
bane of religion, to make every word
and aspect of Christianity the subject
of speculation and discussion. If half
the power and thought which have been
wasted upon useless and often promis-
cuous controversies had been devoted
to the practical redemption of man, we
should long ago have ushered in
the kingdom of God, and the world
would have been relieved of the terri
BILE burden Of mystery and sin.
Religion is here to stay. The religion
of the master cannot be shaken, and its
office among men will continue not
merely as a police force to regulate and
conduct and restrain us from being the
kindred of the brutes, but to clarity our
vision and to guide us on through lib
erty to the heights of perfection"

WELCOME, TIE FESTIVAL.

The Spy only speaks the public mind
when it congratulates the festival neo-
pie who are now entering upon their
annual week Of music under circum-
stances of suspicious and inspiring
promise. The present hopefulness is
based of course upon the strong finan-
cIal support given to the enterprise by
the community, but this cannot be
deemed sordid consideration, since the
festival is not designed as a money!
making institution. Having no endow-
ment, it must depend solely upon public
patronage, and chiefly upon the loyal
public interest of the people of Wor-
cester.
1t may not be possible to enumerate
the reasons for the liberality shown this
year, but two seem obvious. The general
prosperity necessarily is one of them.
for when men and women feel the pinch
of hard times the theatres, opera and
music are among the first interests 10
suffer. Quite as evident as this cause.
however, is the prevailing belief that
the festival is doing good work; that If
deserves all the praise bestowed upon
1t for artistic merit and that it is con-
Quoted with fairness to the public Con-
fidence is essential to the strength Of
public spirit, and without it promises
and declarations of high purpose are
vain.
The announcement Of singer of pre-
eminent ability among the soloists has
been assigned as one reason for marked
popular approval, yet as a matter of
fact, there seemed to be many who did
not know that she was a "star" til
after the ticket sale. She is a valuable
addition to the corps, but it may be
doubted il her name contributes so
much TO the assets as to the liabilities
Of the management. The most import
ant asset of the festival Is undoubtedly
its fine record and the reputation which
has been increasing from year to year.

Saturdays tests have demonstrated
to the satisfaction of certain critics that
the Shamrock is flyer in light breeze
as well as in gale, and hence she is
described as the most dangerous op-
ponent that cup defender has ever
been called upon to meet. The same
appraisal was placed upon the several
predecessors of the Shamrock, but when
the races were over. somehow the
American yacht was in the lead. There
is comforting assurance in the fact
that American designers have always
been just one boat ahead of their Brit
ish competitors, and in this case it is a
question whether Fife can improve upon
Herreshoff faster than the latter can
improve upon himself.
