REV. GEORGE BAILEY ON
"THE MARTYRED PRESIDENT"

Every seat at the Westminster Pres
byterian church was occupied last
evening during the delivery of the
sermon of Rev. George Bailey on THE
Martyred President" On the rostrum
were several life-like pictures of Nc
kinley, draped in black. and the scene
when the pastors solemn remarks
reached the climax was very impress
siVe- The choir sung Thy Will Be
Done" Lead, Kindly Light and
Near, My God, to Thee"
Taking for his text the psalm 1.-THE
wrath of man shall praise thee the
pastor advanced the proposition that
as in the crucifiXiOn of Christ came
the greatest blessings to mankind, so
in the martyr-like death of President
Mckinley the nation has made a sac
rlt1ce which will bring forth the utter
eStirpation of anarchy fron1 the face
of the earth. 1T is the duty of all ma
lions to bring this to a reality. for God
has urged It in the tragic event which
has stirred the whole world"
The pastor drew attention to the
words of the late president himself
tnat whatever comes to pass is God S
viii and Gods will will come to pass
AT first 1t does not seem that in the
presidents death the Almighty is MAX
ing known his will, but the speaker
expressed the belief that the unsolved
mystery of good coming out of the
work of the assassin will yet be solved.
The nation is greater and grander than
though Mckinley had never lived He
left the impress of his high character
so indelibly upon the nation that time
can never efface it. His influence will
live forever in the hearts of the people
who viii for centuries to come realize
that the nation is richer in moral fiber
because of his life and death. AS with
Lincoln, so with Mckinley; his respon-
Sibilities are transcribed to the greater
sphere. He rose to his task on earth
and viii rise still higher in the world
eternal.
1t was announced that next Wednes-
day evening special memorial services
Will be held in the church and that
various speakers Will tell of aspects in
the character of the martyred presi-
dent.

Ministers Take Tragedy as the
Theme For Sermons.
ANARCHY is DENOUNCED
FIRM BELIEF THAT THE GOV
ERNMENT Is SAFE.

New York, Sept. 15.-Naturally the
theme Of all the sermons preached in
New York and its suburbs today was
the death OF the president With prac-
tically unanimity those in charge of
the service had the congregations sing
Nearer, My God, to Thee Most of the
churches were draped in black and in
not few the American flag mingled
its colors with the fold of crepe The
congregations We're large in every
church.
Coupled with the words of mourning
Were expressions of confidence in the
stability of the government and the
administration of President Roosevelt.
There were few vehement expressions
against anarchy.
The Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix denounced
the crime of CzolgOsz and arraigned
stroy modern civilization unless sup
pressed.
Archbishop Corrigan occupied the
throne during mass at St. Patrick's
cathedral and was much affected dur
ing the preaching OF the sermon by the.
Rev. NJ. ]. Lavell. The preacher sad:
Anarchy is as impossible as that five
is equal to two
The Rev W. r. Huntington, preach
ing at Grace church, took the late pres
ident's words, Let no one hurt him.
as proverb against lawleSsnesS.
The Rev. Howard A. Johnson at the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian church
said: Though dead, President McKin-
ley has his place secure Not only is
he beloved and honored in the hearts
of the people, but in the history OF the
nation"
Government is Safe.
The Rev. George r. Purvis of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church
said: Our government remains absO-
lutely unaffected and we behold the
~
bility of our Institutions even at the
moment when the head of the republic
falls. Emma Goldman and her kind
should be imprisoned for life at hard
hanged Immediately
The drapings of public buildings in
the city, banks and business houses
in the financial district, business

pearance commensurate with the event
which is the sorrow of the nation.
The city hall is the most conspicuous
building in the down town section. A
special appropriation was made for the
arrangement of artistic work suitable
for the occasion and this work was
nearly completed at sunset.
The three landmark churches ON
Broadway, Trinity, st. PauPs and
Grace, are conspicuous by the group
ing of flags intertwined with crepe

be buried in black and the national
colors. In the residence district, es-
pecially on the west side from Seventy

There was a sensa tionaI episode in
the First Methodist church last even
ing when the large congregation that
crowded the edifce broke into applause
IN response to the fiery words of the
minister, Rev. ;. L. AIbritton. The di-
rect cause of the demonstration was
the tribute of praise paid to President
Roosevelt. On this subject the min
ister said in part:
President Roosevelt is one of the
greatest heroes that walks on the face
Of the earth-one of the bravest men
who walks beneath the stars. He is
not afraid of man, and he is not afraid
Of devil. AS police commissioner of
New York he ruled with a grip of
iron and drove the rascaIs in terror
from their haunts. The anarchists are
not going to have an easy time in this
country from this time on"

particular reference to the nobility of

LESSON THAT Is TAUGHT.
Senator Mason's Remarks in a Church
at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-''If the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley has taught
no other lesson, it has taught 10000. 600
people that anarchy is worse than trea-
son and must be driven forever from
the country"
These words were uttered by United
states Senator Mason, causing the
audience that crowded Hyde Park
Methodist church at the memorial
services today to burst into a storm of
applause.
The meeting at which the senator
spoke was but one of many that were
held in the city today. There was not
a church, Catholic or Protestant. in
which he was not eulogized and his
death deplored- Everywhere was made
the declaration that there must be an
end of anarchy and anarchists in this
country from this time on.
