NEW PASTOR AT THE UNITED
 CHURCH.
 Rev. Artemas J. Haynes, the newly
 elected pastor of the United church
 preached the first sermon of his pastor
 ate yesterday morning. In opening he
 said he had prepared a sermon suitable
 to the commencement of his pastorate,
 but after the sad news on Saturday
 morning of the death of our beloved
 president he had arranged other
 The discourse originally intended for yesterday morning will be given next
 Sabbath morning. The discourse of the morning was founded on II. Chronicles, 35:23, And the archers shot at King Josiah, and the king said to his ser- wants, Have me away, for am sorely wounded Surrounded by friends, without warning, the chief magistrate of this nation is shot down by the hand of an assassin. Times of sudden dis tress reveal the real character of a man. The nobleness and high character of the fate of President Mckinley were cer- tainly evinced by the tender regard for an invalid wife, by his utterance for his murderer, Let no man hurt him. which recalls the prayer of the great Teacher, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do;" and at the last, Its Gods way; His will be done.
 HY0 Iax ha a high and noble leader; lone woman mourns the loss of loving protector.
 AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH.
 The Rev. MT. Ferris at Calvary Bap- tist church at yesterday forenoon's service, previous to the sermon, spoke as follows:
 We could not let this day go by with out some recognition of him whose name has been on everybody's lips dur ing the past week, and whose memory is destined to live in the hearts of the American people for many years to come.-Another name,-that of William Mckinley, has been added to history's long roll of martyrs. l use the word martyr advisedly, for that it is when < a man, beloved, democratic, unostenta- tious, is sacrificed on the altar of that very trust of the common people, which had become a principle with him. In a land where two presidents had been shot down by the hand of assassins, he moved about without thought or harm or danger He believed that dis trust and love could not live together in the same heart and he both loved and trusted the American people. If anything were needed to prove that his great love for them was returned most heartily, it might easily be fonud in that journey through the south, where the greeting of his political foes made his trip partake almost Of the nature of an ancient triumph. His was not a forced adulation won from reluctant subjects by the fear of tyrant, but a spontaneous outburst of respect for a man whom warm-hearted people | were compelled to love, regardless Of all differences of opinion. He never | endeavored to surround himself with | any false air of official dignity or aris- | tocratic superiority. He never tried to | guard himself against the thousand | worries that crowd into the life or a | public servant. He would stop ana talk with anyone who might desire to speak with him on the street. He was always and everywhere, William Mc- Kinley. Citizen. In this respect he was a living embodiment of that sim ple loyalty to the realities of life, be- heath all accidents of birth ol doings ,f destiny, which reigned in the hearts If the founders of our nation, and oreathed it's spirit into our constitution. That such a man, who was said to study the opinions of his fellow citizens with too great care, who was accused if nothing by his enemeis but of too great leniency,-that he should be stricken down at last as tyrant and ,ppressor of mankind, seems well nigh unbelievable Strange are the things lone in the name of Liberty"
 Well. he is gone. He possessed his no doubt; but men called lincoln weak, because he could not re- use a pardon, and the officers of his ,rnnv complained that he was wrecking LII discipline by his soft-heartedness. somehow we find it easy to forgive all that arise from too great ove of mankind A country that can produce such men will always be afe: for a true heart will soon give firth to a wise judgment, but the keen st insight can never change per- erted heart. Let us thank God that 1 n William Mckinley he gave us a l ood president and genuine Ameri- 1 an, and let us learn from him to have { deeper and more loyal devotion to the ,elfare of our beloved land.
