THE ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM
Bishop SntterIee's Sermon o
ChrfSt's TriumphnI March.

u.
The altar and pulpit Of the Church of the
Epiphany were decorated with Lain
branches and potted plants for the Palm
Sunday services. About thirty candidates
were confirmed by Right Rev. Henry Y
Satterlee, Bishop of Washington. After
the confirmation address Bishop Satterlee
delivered the sermon, his subject being
"Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jerusa-
lem," which Palm Sunday commentaries.
He said in part:
From the first hour of this day, through
the Holy Week. and until the resurrection
and those incidents which Immediately
followed, we have complete history of
every moment of christs life One quar-
ter of the contents OF the Gospel Of the
Apostles is devoted to this period Today,
Palm Sunday. commentaries the one fes-
tive moment of Christ's life, his triumphal
entry into Jerusalem. Christ made his
journey toward Jerusalem along the high
road from Jerico Dean Stanley has es-
tablished the location where the first views
of the Holy City burst upon the sight of
the Saviour. Dean Stanley wept. as Christ
wept, when he reached this spot. There
is a spiritual meaning in this first glimpse
of Jerusalem by the Saviour. 1t is as the
first glimpse of higher truth-a glimpse
of heaven.
I'VE must learn what means the fellow
ship of his suffering and the power of his
death. Had there been no sin in the
world Christ would have lived a most
happy life. Christ came to do Gods will
His mission was to save us from the
suit of our sin. What is sin? The Presi-
dent of Harvard College had been invited
to offer criticism of the prayerbook
which is used in our service. He gave 1t
as his opinion that there was too frequent
reiteration of a confession of sin and
misery. But / ask of you is that not the
very point at issue. There is only one
sin in the world-the spirit OF lawiessness.
1t is within us all. What was the sin of
the Prodigal Son? The spirit of lawless-
ness. He wa aot content with the con-
ditions which regulated his fathers house
mold. He would have his portion. and geek
abroad what would satisfy his restlessness-
the spirit of lawlessness. BY our spirit
of lawlessness We have caused Christs
death. The spirit of 1awlessness is the
same in US as in those who cried Cruelty
him. Had we lived then. and they had
lived today they would have been as we
with our spirit of lawlessness. and it
would have been We who cried Cruelty
him.
Acknowledge to God this spirit of law
lessness within you that makes you rebel
against his law. Read the sermon on the
mount. l do not say initiate the acts of
Christ. but say to drink in his spirit. You
will then live as Christ would have lived.
The moment you take upon yourself TO
live the life of Christ you take upon
yourself the reproach OF Christ. You will
realize all that assailed the Saviour. Have
faith in the cross. One Is only ashamed
Of what he considers weak. Have faith
and confidence in the power of the cross
and you will not feel the shame of the
reDrOach -

1t seemed last autumn as if weddings
were going out of fashion. The number
then celebrated in all of the prominent
churches was small compared to the lists
of the preceding few years. Easter how
ever, will bring a flood of these festive
events. and springs gift of flowers will
not prove any too great for the use of
the brides on their wedding days. Per-
haps the most brilliant marriage of the
present month will be that of Miss Edith
Morton and Mr.. William Corcoran Eustis,

John S. Field, president of the
Knickerbocker Ice company, is an old
Beloit boy, and entirely unaided,
raised himself from the humblest and
most discouraging surroundings to a
position of commanding influence.
Mr.. Field may be said to have practi-
cal1y grown up in the business in
which he is now engaged, for with the
exception of a few years of his early
life spent on his fathers farm in Wis
consin he has never followed any
other calling. Coming to Chicago
from Beloit in 1867 while still a mere
boy for the purpose of attending
school, he left his books soon after his
arrival to take a position as trade So
licitor for w. FL. SWEET e Co., one OF
the leading ice firms of that day A
few months later, however, the firm
decided tc, discontinue the soliciting
branch, and young Field had to go
with the rest.
But surely there is something can
do" he protested to the manager.
II don't know" was the reply, 'un-
less you go on the wagons .
"All right then; I'll go there he
answered. What I want lis work"
Beginning thus a. the lowest round
of the ladder, Mr.. Field steadily as
cended until today he is at the head of
the second largest ice company in the
world At the time of the merging OF
the Swift & Co. business with the old
Knickerbocker Ice company, in 1884,
he had already demonstrated his abil-
ity to fill executive positions, and was
elected vice president and general
manager of the new corporation. This
cOmpanw continued in business until
two years ago, when it was made the
nucleus of a combination of thirty-five
&c companies in Chicago. Upon the
organization of the new corporation,
which retained the name Of the Knick-
erbocker Ice company, he was made it's
president.
