M'KIMLEY ORDAINED OF
HEAVEN TO BE A JOSHUA
Led People to Enter Upon Glorious Ca
reer of Usefulness, Says Rev.
W. J. Hutchinson.

Rev. W. j. Hutchinson, pastor of the
Westminster Memorial Presbyterian
Church, and citizen of Ohio, spoke at
the First Presbyterian Church last
night on the life and character of the
late President Mckinley. He used as
basis the Scriptural passage, He be-
ing dead. yet speaketh." He pointed
out the strong features in the late Pres
ident's character, presenting them as
voices from the grave in argument for
pure living and patriotic action.
THE life of William Mckinley" he
said, was an epoch in the history of
this country. While the United States
had him for its Magistrate, this nation,
under the guidance of Providence. be-
came world power. He whom God
chose to be the foremost citizen of the
Republic, was ordained of heaven to
be Joshua, to lead this people into g
broader, better, more glorious career of
usefulness and power than the most
ardent patriot had dared to dream.
His patriotism, courage, fidelity, his
beautiful home life and pure manhood
were an apt inspiration to this country,
and they speak out to US from the tomb
even more powerfully than IL the body
were still alive in the world. One of
the sad confessions of history is that a
great many great men are misunder-
stood, underrated, and abused while liv-
ing
The speaker denied that high charac-
ter, unselfish devotion to country and
private honor were incompatible with
an active part in politics. He cited the
characteristics of Mckinley. the prac-
tices and fruits OF his life. to prove his
contention and to emphasize the i'm
portance of a high standard of public
and private duty. McKinley's character
and works are with us perpetually. and
We are glad to regard him as speaking,
though ne is silent.
In introducing Mr.. Hutchinson. Dr.
Donald Mcleod. pastor of the church,
said:
THE observance of memorial customs
is one of the first and best instincts.
When God finished his great work of
creation he appointed day OF rest to
be kept during all time The Israelites
kept the Feast of the Passover in com
of the sparing of their first
born. and in all sacred and profane his
tory we find that the signal events in
the careers of all peoples have been
celebrated on days of observance
The same spirit of remembrance per-
vades the church and secular circles |
II is appropriate that on this sad ami |
versary the American people should
pause to consider the memory OF one of |
the greatest of statesmen, one of the /
best and kindest of men, a patriot. a .
friend. and husband of the highest |

by all classes without distinction of
creed, race, or political affiliation.
The memorial services held at st. Pat
rick's Church suggested the memory of
the dreadful event which filled the ma
tion with horror one year ago. The Rev.
Father Dolan, who preached highly
eloquent and impressive sermon, said. in
part: I'VE were a grief-stricken people.
and our manifestations of sorrow were.
beyond controversy. sincere. And vet il
is not rash to say that for the most part
the murder of President MCKINLEY has
lost its place in the memory of men. AMI
that the national lesson taught by that
crime is still unlearned and unheeded.
1T is unquestionabiy true that his
assassination was the logical result of
the free circulation of lawless ideas
the free organization of irresponsible
but most dangerous. rebels against ali
authority-anarchist
Public Sounded Warning.
ut is likewise unquestionably true
that in all the public expressions con-
ceTning the death of Mr. Mckinley there
was the note of warning against irfiam-
matory literature. against the unbridled
license allowed to anarchists co-ordinat-
ing, and thus accommodating to themselves
power and influence. Call after call was
issued for Legislation which would eff
fectiveiy stamp out this menace to ma
tional life; yet with the waning of the
memory of McKinley's death, has waned
this noble enthusiasm.
THE serious consideration of these
things mystifies the mind. 1t would
seem that as people we are not suffi-
ciently serious. The real explanation
perhaps of this state of affairs is that
in the mad rush for purely material con-
siderations. which so characterizes us as
q nation, we become oblivious TO prin-
ciples of unspeakable magnitude. We do
not despise them. and when our atten-
tion is forcibly arrested, we look upon
them seriously, as was the case last
year.
THE cultivation of proper public
spirit, the proper development in the
minds of citizens of sense Of civic
responsibility. the publication of politics
by the honest use of the ballot-these
are the remedies for our diseased condi-
ton and the securities against such
national disasters as the murder of Pres
ident Mckinley
At the close of the mass, the choir of
ST. Patricks Church, under the direction
Of Prof Armand Gumprecht, rendered

GUIDING EXAMPLE TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
Life Work and Character of
William Mckinley.
The Rev. Prettyman breaches Sermon
on Martyred President at Mount
Vernon Place Church.

'The life work and character OF VIII
liam Mckinley" said the Rev Forrest
J. Prettyman. at the memorial services
held at Mount Vernon Place NJ. E.
Church South, yesterday, should ever
be an inspiration and guiding example
to the American people. 1t is meet that
a memorial to him should be raised in
the Capital of the Nation. In fact.
would favor triple memorial arch, rep
resenting his military, civil and Chris
tian careers. We may not be able to
emulate his military or civil 4ife, but
we can all strive to follow his example
in his Christian home life
"Render Unto Caesar"
The church was crowded to almost it's
FIJI seating capacity. The pastor read
the twenty-secend chapter of Matthew
as the Scripture lesson for the day
The text for the discourse was the
twenty-second verse of this chapter:
Render therefore unto Caesar the
things which are Caesars and unto God
the things which are Gods"
a particularly touching feature of the
service was the singing of Nearer, My
God, to Thee" and Lead, Kindly Light"
the two hymns of which Mr.. Mckinley
was especially fond. Both were sung
with much feeling by the choir and the
congregation.
THE text is the answer of Christ to
the question, Is it lawful to pay tribute
TO Ceasar?' The answer" the Rev. DR..
Prettyman said. lis important waen con-
sidered in reference to all questions civil
and political. Christ asked his ques-
tioners to show him a piece OF tribute
money. A penny was shown, and it bore
the image of Ceasar upon it. And the
Master said, therefore, render it unto
Caesar.
at must not be understood from this
that the belongings of God are only a
little left over from Ceasar's share. For
God never gave up sway and control
over all. All our institutions, he said.
are built upon and in his authority, and
his kingdom. The church and state are
separate and great, but Christianity is |
greater than all political and religious |
But when the nation and
the church build together on the great |
Christian spirit, then they are really
great indeed. This great nation of ours /
became grand because it was guided and |
guarded by Christian manhood and wo-
manhood"
In conclusion the speaker told of his
irst hearing of the news of the assassi-
lation of President Mckinley. He was
ust entering Southampton, England. !
There the flags were flying at half mast
showing the existence of the brother
lood of nations among Christian peo-
ole, all of whom mourned the taking off

A PERSONAL FRIEND
Sermon Of Dr.. L. M. Kuhns,
Formerly of Canton, O.
breaches of Mart: red President al
Waugh Methodist Church-Met
Mckinley in 1869.

Touching and ennobling incidents il
the career of William Mckinley were
lrelated in a sermon by an intimate
friend of the late President in the ami.
Methodist Church, A and Third Streets
northeast. yesterday morning. The SER
mon was by the Rev. L. NJ. kuhns, d. D.
a venerable Lutheran minister, formerly
pastor of the Lutheran Church in Can
ton, Ohio, but now a resident of this
city. DR.. Kuhns became acquainted with
Major Mckinley in 1869. and he mad
known Mrs. Mckinley, for eight years
before that time. The friendship re-
manned firm through the busy careers
of both men. Dr.. Kuhns has on several
occasions since the death of the Presi-
dent paid feeling public tributes to his
memory.
DR.. Kuhns based his sermon on the
passage, What mean ye by this serv-
ice?" He said: when special services
such as these are held there must be
something back OF them; some enduring
II. i
case of William Mckinley, everyone is
conversant with the fact that in his
public life he never deviated from the
highest principles; that he in no degree
violated the teachings OF his earlier
years. There must be something behind
great man to give significance to his
life. There is great deal in heredity
and in this case there is no doubt of its
force. Our martyred President had
good mother, and to her he owed much.
This he always recognized, and the re-
suit was most beautiful and useful
life.
His Unequaled Devotion.
"A good son will make a good hus-
band" said the venerable minister.
This was the secret of the happy life
of the late President. With his thor
ough devotion he allowed nothing to in
terfere. His devotion to his mother and
his wife we have reason TO know was
complete. Such man can hardly go
wrong. His genial life among his per
sonal friends, of whom l counted my
self one, was genuine and charming"
In closing, DR.. Kuhns dwelt on the
cruelty and horror of the taking off of
the President. Believing in the abso-
lutte power of God in the world, we are
prone to ask why did God take away the
llves OF Abraham Lincoln, James A.
Garfield, and William Mckinley. when
they were so much needed, when so
much depended on them? In the case oi
the first two there may have been some
iancied excuse for the acts of the assas-
sin, but there was none in the last sad
instance"
The minister quoted with deep feeling
the poem Sometime, expressing the
idea that sometime the mystery would
be dispelled.
The closing idea of the sermon was
further impressed on the minds Of the
large number of people present by the
beautiful solo of Miss NJ Alice Mayd-
well. daughter OF Rev. George e. Mayd-
we'll, pastor of the church. The solo
was Some Day Wen Understand"
Mr. Wiley Davis rendered with fine eff
feet the famous hymn. Lead, Kindly |
Light, made dear to the American peo-
pie By the preference OF President Nc |
ISinley.

Our dear brother is not dead. He
