A NEW DEACON ORDAINED.
Installation Ceremonies at New York
Avenue Presbyteriau Church


At the morning service at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church yesterday
one new deacon was ordained and three
reelected deacons installed in their DO
sitions. The church was crowded The or
dination and installation ceremonies were
the simple exercises prescribed by the
Presbyterian Church, and were conducted
by the Rev. Wallace Radcliffe. pastor of
the. church The newly elected deacon is
Henry Wells and he will discharge the
duties of the office until 1903. The three
deacons, who were reelected are Charles
l.. Bradley. Robert p. A. Denham, and
Charles G. Stott. and their terms of Of
fee will expire in 1904
Following the ordination and installa-
tion ceremonies, an offering was made for
the benefit of the Presbyterian Sunday
school work One Sunday of the year is
set aside by the church for contributions
for this work. and all money offered on
that day is turned into the Sunday school
fund Quite large sum was realized yes
terday.
DR.. Radcliffe took as the theme of his
sermon. The New Corinthian," and the
text was taken from the first epistle to
the Corinthians. The discourse dealt
with the general tendency in the age to
follow public sentiment and opinion. to
cling closely to ritual, and to merge in
dividuality in yielding TO the whim of the
multitude.
DR. Radcliffe said that there was too
great an accession to public opinion and
that the modern Corinthfan, meaning the
average churchman, was far more willing
to accept as his own opinion the sentiment
which happened to affect the general pub
lie at that particular time. The speaker
thought there was too little incentive TO
original thought. and the establishment of
decided sentiments in any direction. DR..
Radcliffe referred to the horrible wicked
ness of ancient Corinth. He said that he
had read in the newspapers, in maga-
zines, and in modern books, stories in
which Christ was supposed to come to
the earth and visit certain cities only to
turn away disheartened at the wicked
ness which he found there. This, DIR.
Radcliffe said. he did not believe 1t was
his opinion that the wickedness of an
cient cities and the horror of some OF
the practices then generally prevalent. so
far exceeded the worst examples that
solutely no comparison.
In speaking of ritual. DR.. Radcliffe said
that the churchman of the Presbyterian
Church was apt TO look upon the Catho-
lie brethren, and those of the Episcopal
Church, as too much given to ritualsm,
While IN truth, theirs WAS only the ritual
OF the form of worship. Anyone in this
day. he stated, was liable to fall into the
ritual of thought and opinion, which was
that formed and advocated by public SEN
timent. He said in conclusion that the
assertion that the voice of the people was
the voice of God was erroneous.

of the work of the Central Union Mis=
sion during the summer months started
out on its fifteenth annual season yester-
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock At the
afternoon service on f Street southwest.
and at the evening service in Market
Space, large crowd surrounded the
wagon and took an active part in the
service During the month of May the
gospel services in the wagon will be under
the direction of c. w Wheeler. The
wagon used this year is new one and
more comtnodious than any of those used
before. The outlook for the coming sea
son is bright, and the gospel wagon work
ers anticipate a successful season.
For several years past the gospel wagon
work was conducted in a large wagon,
which was burned in the fire which de-
stroyed the Knox warehouse about two
months ago. The new wagon is twenty
feet long, and seven feet wide, and is
equipped with an organ and lighting ap-
Tparatus. 1t will accommodate as many
as thirty-seven persons and is drawn
easily by four horses.

of the year was held in Market Space
and several hundred people who were
passing up and down Pennsylvania Ave
nue. were attracted by the sight of the
big vehicle and the sound of the music
The discourse was here delivered by the
Rev. {. Howard Davis. of Wesleyan Pen
teCostal Church, and his theme was taken
from the scriptural verse, Il am not
ashamed OF the gospel of Christ, for it
is the power of God unto salvation TO
everyone who believeth. After testi-
mony by converts the wagon drove to
the Mission, where an interesting and
well attended service was conducted by
Mr.. T.. /. Seeds 1t is the plan to con-
duct services nightly on the principal
thoroughfares of the city. and on Sunday
there will be services in both afternoon
and evening.

BUSES BY ELECTRICITY

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Electricity prob

in the conveyance of persons to and

tells. Such is the belief, following
the announcement that a syndicate
has been formed to purchase and
take over the property and business
of the Frank Parmelee company.
The men behind the project are:
John J. Mitchell, president of the Hi
nois Trust and Savings bank: Roger
B. McMullen; c. IL. Randle. president
of the Gulf company, and James b.
Wilbur, president of the Royal Trust
company; Normal b. Ream and j. c.
Shaffer.
The syndicate wifi buy the property
of the Frank Parmelee company. The
price is not stated. The Parmelee
company is capitalized at $250.OOO.
but the stock of the new company
will be much larger.
The Parmelee concern has been in
existence for almost Il century.
Frank Parmelee began business in
Chicago in 1853 with three or four
old omnibuses. The company al
present is controlled largely by John
w. and Charles X. Parmelee, sons of
the founder of the system.

the White House yesterday. at the con-
clusion Of which President Roosevelt

dependencies Roosevelt meant Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Con-
tinuing. the president said that no ap-

these three branches for political con-
siderations alone, and he told his Wis
