St Patricks Church is one of the few
churches in this city, If. indeed, 1t is not
the only church in the country over whicn
the Stars and Stripes have been placed at
half-mast out of respect to the late Presi-
dent. The Rev. DR.. Stafford. as soon as
he received information of President
Roosevelt's proclamation ordaining To-
morrow as a day of prayer and mourning,
gave instructions to raise the American
flag at half-mast on one of the steeples
of the church and drape the edifice in the
sombre emblemS of sorrow and mourning.
Dr Stafford has impressed his congrega-
ton with the solemnity and Importance
of the occasion. His sermons last Sunday
and the Sunday after the assassination
of the President were entirely devoted to
the traits of character of the dead Presi-
dent and to the necessity of stricter
observation of the laws of the church and
the laws of the land. He also dwelt at
length on the necessity of providing laws
which would absolutely prevent a similar
atroCiouS deed.
