her heart. and when they suffered. she suf-

She made all their interests and hopes

by many that the sufferings of her sub

recognize this. But again to use the

TWO CAREERS coNTRAsTED.
The Rev. Nr. Van schnici Compared
Victoria with George Ill

Victoria, Subject and Sovereign, was
,ba subject of an interesting discourse
delivered yesterday morning in the
Church of Our Father, by the pastor, the
Rev John Van Schaick. lis text was
from II Samuel. xxil:S4, The God of
Israel said. he that ruleth over men must
he lust. ruling in the fear of God; and he
shall be as the light OF the morning when
the sun riseth, even a morning without
clouds"
In following out his text the Rev. Mr.
Van Setback ccntrasted the characters Of
the Queen and her paternai grandfather,
George Ill. He said in part;
"All OF our great lessons are learned by
contrast. We know sweet as contrast
with sour; white as contrast with black;
virtue as contrast with vice. Fortunately
for our study today there is one figure
in English history. very near TO Queen

Of all that tended to the Improvement of

The Queen was singularly happy in
possessing the faculty of arranging her

state duties. She was fortunate in select

A BENEDIcTIoN TO MANKIND.
The Rev. Frederick Powers Praise
for EncInnd's Dead Queen.

At the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church yesterday morning the Rev Fred
erick D. Powers preached to a large con-
gregation most interesting and instruc-
tive sermon on the life and character of
Queen Victoria. He took his text from
Isaiah xlii:2, Kings shall be thy nursing
fathers and their queens thy nursing
mothers" According to the prophet he
said kings and queens were to be the mon
archs of the religion of the promised Mes
siah The world will concede this, he
said of the gracious woman whom il
mourns today. The life that closed at
Osborne last Tuesday the minister said,
was benediction not alone to Great Brit
ain or the English-speaking race. but to
mankind.
| The Victoria age. he said was the most
| conspicuous in the worlds annals not
alone in the arts and sciences, but in the

king of Israel who asked from the most

United States over the Trent affair; how

vented an impending European war. The
speaker dwelt at length on her domestic

THE QUEENS TRUE GREATNESS
OF Goodness. Not Of Power. the Rev,
Mr. Macleod Says.

In his discourse on the life of Queen
Victoria. delivered last night in the First
Presbyterian Church. the Rev. Donald C.
Macleod said that hers was the royalty
of goodness; her life that of a noble
Christian woman, and her character such
as we all should strive to emulate.
The sermon was based on the text taken
from II Samuel, xxxviii:3, And the king
said to his servants, know ye not that
this day great man and prince is fallen
in Israeli
In the lives OF all. the speaker said
there are great crises, but the greatest OF
all in human life is death. 1t is fit, at this
time that We should reflect on the death
CT the gres test woman Of the pineteenth
century, thu worlds greatest Queen.
There has been universal sympathy
expressed for her loss, because of the
warm place she held in the hearts of ali.
This expression Of sympathy, however, the
speaker said is not explained because Of
the high position Victoria occupied. 1t was
not because she was the sovereign OF
great Empire, but because of her great
personality, which lowered far above all
this in the minds and hearts of the peo-
pie. Even among the people of nations
who were Jealous and envious Of England,
Il is true. he continued. that Victoria
began her reign at an suspicious time. The
world was ripe for reform, and her reign
was marked with the extension OF the
Empire and of civilization. Her kingdom
enjoyed the advice of her greatest men.
bur all this. he coltended, does not ex-
plain why she is so beloved by all. Nor
is she loved less after she has passed
away: her great personality is still felt.
Hers was a royalty of goodness and great
ness. not of Crown nor Empire, nor SPLEEN
dor. but simply because she was good
He also spoke Of Victoria's friendlines5
fer the United States, referring to the fact
that she ayerted a war between these ma
tons at the time of the civil war.
In closing. the Rev. Mr.. Macleod spoke
Of the purity Of her marital relations aud
the influence of her character for good.
In connection with this. he said, every
thing impure was banished from her court

AS WOMAN AND RULER.
The Rev. Mr.. YerbrycfSe's Tribute to
the Queens Memory.

The long reign of Queen Victoria, and
the character of her life. both as a ruler
and woman, were the theme for the
evening sermon by the Rev J. Russell
I Verbrycke. at the Gurley Memorial Church
last night. In opening his discourse, the
Rev. Mr.. Verbrycke told briefly the story
of Esther. the beautiful Jewess. who. her
nationality being unknown, was made
Queen by the King of Persia. By her tact
and courage she later saved from destruc-
ton all the Jews in Persia.
The speaker said the fact that this wo-
man was sent by the Lord to save the
children Of Israel wss proof conclusive
that he ruled the destinies OF nations, and
( always chose 4 noble character to carry
out his purposes. He then drew parallel
( between the divine appointment of Esther
at the time the Jews were threatened with
! destruction. and the advent OF Victoria as
the ruler of Great Britain during its most
illustrious age. Mr.. Verbrycke said, in
part:
1T is needless to speak OF the cordial
and close relations existing between this
country and Great Britain. Although the
Spanish were the first to settle the West
ern Hemisphere. and although the Dutch
later did their part, we are still English
speaking people with English blood in cur
veins, and England is our mother coun-
try. We mourn the loss England has sus-
tanned in the death of her venerable and
noble sovereign.
The Queen was primarily a religious
woman. and one anecdote that presents
very strongly her firm faith is the story
of the answer she made to the query of a
foreign prince as to the reason of Eng
lands power She sent a Bible to him.
with the remark that 1t was the foundation
of British greatness and British supre-
macy

way the wonderful developments in the
worlds history from the coronation CT

States at this time would be 1000 900. These predictions were based on the in- crease prior to that time.
 "The natural increment of a healthy country like England is 11s per cent year. or 15 per cent decade. By that is meant the augmentation by birth, giving no con sideration to the growth by immigration If we should increase at the rate of 1h per cent year by natural means and continue along these lines for the next 100 years the population would be 3OO,O0O,OOO, not counting the increase by immigration. But there is much in the census statistics of ten years ago and now to cast doubts upon the anticipated heavy increase.
 "In the larger cities of the country Tor instance, the tendency is apparently 10 smaller families. In some of the larger cities the size of the families has decreased from five to four children. Suppose that In the next thirty years, forty or fifty years, the. decrease in the number of children to the family is from four to three children, the effect will be great Then, later, if the decrease should be to two children, as is the tendency in France, the increment population would almost stop. There is no doubt that as the population of country increases the fight for life becomes more bitter and more serious. In France, as Is well known, the population practically stands still. Each family is satisfied with two children-a boy and a girl. The French people go on the theory that the battle for existence is too terrible an affair now, without adding to its terrors by more peo- plce to share what there is to be divided Nobody can tell whether such an idea will attain growth in this country in the future.
 "The truth is that the best actuaries cannot predict with any accuracy for d period of more than ten or twenty years. In the course of a few more years the young people of this country may conclude, by reason of desire to evade too much responsibility in family affairs, that they will not marry until they are several years older than the average period for marriage now. The effect of this on the population would be great. Let us suppose that the marriageable age for young men is now 25 T do not remember the exact figure. They decide not to marry until they are older say 26 The decrease here alone would be 1000, 900 children in a decade"
