MEMORIAL SERVICES
Rev. Dr.. Bristol breaches an
Eloquent Sermon.
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
Church Scene Of Solemn
Exercises.

Rev Dr. Bristol preached a memorial
sermon to District Odd Fellows at the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, Four-and- "a
half and c Streets. last night DR.. Bris-
tol is al Odd Fellow, and the fact that
he spoke in memory of the dead Of the
order, four of whom have passed away
within year, served to intensity the
solemnity OF the occasion. The Column
bia Lodge of odd Fellows, No. 10. and
members of other lodges in the District,
numbering 200 in all, attended the
church in body.
The chaplain Of Columbia Lodge. Com
rade Richard Emmons. opened the ser
vices Nith prayer. Then the roll of
honor was read, and the names of those
who had died within a year were called.
\ hymn was sung. and Or. Bristol be-
gan his sermon. He said in part:
1T is fitting that memorial services
Of this order should be held in this
church, for Brother Hamilton Gray. the
last to pass away, was a member of
this congregation. He was also an Odd
Fellow. and that fact means that he was
a good man. 4 good Odd Fellow must
be a good man. Bad men cannot be
good Odd Fellows. Could the illustrious
dead rise and speak, they would empha-
size the mighty principles of our great
brotherhood. Fellowship, friendship
justice. and truth would speak through
them. to the eternal glory of the Odd
Fellows.
Look at the record of the years The
order to which we belong has been a
factor in history. The development of
the Odd Fellows was a necessity: the
order needs no excuse for its existence;
it springs from the noble aspirations of
the human heart To be an odd Fellow
means to advance through a hundred
stages to the very pinnacle of morality.
Stands for Truth.
The order of Odd Fellows emphasizes
truth honesty. loyalty of purpose faith
funess, to the law. and devotion to free
dom Truth is eternal; a great essential
fact. not invented by man. No science

change from its infexible law. Man dis
covered it; truth. that is. the essential
but mysterious property OF the Almighty,
is a light to the soul of humanity.
Truth preceded humanity. and man
kind is but the student Of its mysteries.

a social being. and his happiness de
ponds on social conditions. Let us. then,
as an order and as men, seek out the
truth. that we may follow the path made
for cur feet"
At the conclusion Of the sermon the
Odd Fellows passed before the pulpit
and shook hands with Dr.. Bristol as a
mark Of appreciation for his remarks.

Subject of Sermon by
Rev. F. D. Power at
Christian Church.
INTERESTING SUNDAY DISCOURSE
Talk illustrated With Many Apt and
Telling Stories-Communion Service
at Close of Regular Exercises Par
ticipated in by Many.

The duty parents owe to children was
the general subject of an interesting
and instructive sermon by the Rev. F.
D. Power. the pastor, at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church yesterday
morning. Ii is not enough to give a
child an education, a profession, and a
competency, said Mr.. Power. They
must hare moral and Christian train
ing: it is their only means of hope of
salvation. and the parent who fails il
this is neglectful of his or her duty.
Children, Or. Power said, are very apt
to follow the example set by their pa
rents, as is exemplifed by the little
fellow who followed his father into a
saloon and said: IN take what father
takes
Rev. DR.. Power took for his subject
Shining Against the Child" which was
based on the following text taken from
Genesis: Reuben answered, saying. do
not sin against the child
The subject was developed with ex
oeIlent stories tending to illustrate the
effect of the example of the habits Of
parents upon their children. He told
a story Of good woman who in pass
ing an open lot in London where some
poor children were at play stopped and
picket up something and put it in her
apron. A policeman saw her, however.
and suspecting that it may have been
something of value arrested the woman
and demanded her TO give up her find.
This she reluctantly did, and TO the
surprise of the officer Of the law it
proved to be a piece OF broken glass.
The woman explained that she feared
some OF the poor children might have
cut their feet upon the piece Of glass.
More Dangerous Than Glass.
lhere are Thousands Of more danger
o-- things in the pathways Of our chill
dren, DR.. Power said, than pieces OF
glass, but they are not removed. There
ar pitfalls for children on every side.
What about the saloons, he asked. They
are tka source Of the worst Of all temp
tatic1s. But society, for a considcra-
ton. permits and tolerates them, though

Shining Against Children.
We are SHINING against children, Dr..
Power said. when we permit such condl-
tlons to exist. For the saloon is the
greatest and strongest enemy Of educa-
tion and morality: it is a constant
breeder Of vice and disease. To en-
phaaize this statement the speaker said
il is just as Impossible to run a ginmnl
without boys as it is to run sawmill

fronts our children 10 be suffered. Or.

SPECIAL SERVICES
FOR THE CHILDREN

ner several thousands of dollars are
given each Child-cn's Day as a special
Offering. While no general report is
ever made of the amount of the collec-
ti0ns in the various churches upon this
occasion. it is thought from individual
cases that the offerings this year will
exceed these of previous years for quite
a period back.
The exercises at the Washington Or
phan Asylum were under the direction
Of Mr. John B. Sleman. superintendent
OF the Sabbath school.
The Memorial Hall in which the
service was held was crowded to the
doors with the ii,tIe children and a num-
rer o. ladies and gentlemen who take
the highest interest in the institution.
At the front of the hall beautiful
floral design had been erected. 1t was
in the form of an altar surmounted with
& cross OF white roses interviewer with
ferns. The entire room was decorated
with palms and flowers. Unusual inter-
est was manifested by the scholars in
everything that took place.

tend Other Places OF Worship Where
Exercises Are Held.

Yesterday being the second Sunday in
Children's Day. Nearly all of the
houses of worship held their annual ex-
ercises. and the scenes in the various
churches. which in most cases were
nagninccntly decorated, were beautiful
and impressive.
All Of the exercises were attractive
and evinced considerable preparation on
the part of the little children who took
part. Particularly was this true of the
services at the Washington Orphan Asy-
lum Sunday school. Nearly 200 chill
ircn participated in the exercises by
rendering interesting songs and recita-
lions Practically all of the younger
children in the institution were present.
as well as a number Of ladies and gen.
tlencn interested in the asylum.
Children's Day was observed particu-
larry in the Methodist churches of the
city The Baptist and Presbyterian de-
nominations also made an exceptionally
good showing In virtually every case
the churches or Sunday school rooms in
which the services were held were beau
tilully decorated with palms and flow
ers. At some of the houses of worship
the floral displays were even magnif-
cent and costly. In the majority of in
stances the usual morning Sunday
school or church service was devoted to
the observance of the day. morning
proving the most popular time for the
exercises. In about One-third of the
churches. however. the evening service

~ We permit them to be sacrificed for

Girls Also in Danger.
But it is not our boys alone that we
are called upon to protect. Our girls
are also in great danger; 1t is a slavery
worse than that which existed in the
South. They are watched a1d led astray
and doomed to lives in hells which are
located within sight OF the White House
How long will this be permitted to ex-
list, the speaker asked
All this may be horrible, he said. but
1t is fact. The best way to protect
our children from all the pitfalls that
are in their ways. he said, is by example.
The parent must be honest with the
child If the father promises a child
anything the promise should be fulfilled.
An untruthful father will by his exam
pie teach his child to lie. \ boy can
see no harm in frequenting saloons
when he knows that his father spends
most of his spare time there.
Carelessness of Parents
Too many parents. the speaker said.
are too well satisfied by simply sending
their children to Sunday school simply
because it gives them no care or trou-
bic while they are absent from the
house So lit is that when the child
e,rows old he argues to his Darpnts
There is no mere reason for my going
to church than for you, who stay at
home Sunday after Sunday"
Throughout his discourse DR.. Power
told many interesting stories, which
forcefully illustrated the truth Of his
statements.
After the sermon there was commun-
ion service. which was participated in

vices walked around outside the church,
blessing and sprinklins the building with
holy water. The mass which followed
the ceremony Of blessing and dcdicating
the church was celebrated in the pres
erce Of the Cardinal by Rev Father
Caughy. pastor of st. stephens Church,
with Rev. Father Ketcham as deacon,
Rev. Father McG2e as sub-deacon. and
Rev. Father Burke, c. s. p, as master
OF ceremonies.
Rev. DR.. Stafford. pastor of St. Pat
Fick's Church. preached an eloquent ser
mon, basing his argument on the gospel
Of the day as contained in ST. Luke Xv:
lilo, treating of the parable of the lost
sheep. The argument of DR.. Stafford's
sermon was that inasmuch as Jesus
Christ purchased the church for US at
the price OF his precious blood. we are
bound to him II cough the church. He
said the church was not to be home
for philosophy or the discussion Of
learned themes. but, it was intended as
n house Of comfort and consolation for
all humanity.
Or. Stafford at the conclusion of his
sermon called attention to the Church
of the Sacred Heart Of Jesus in Paris,
and expressed the hope that in time
there may arise in this city an equally
beautiful Church Of the Sacred Heart,
bearing the inscription:
For Christ ard His Sacred Heart,
America Penitcnt and Devoted"
Offers Congratulations.
DR.. Stafford concluded his sermon by
Offering his congratulations to the pas
tor and congregation of the Sacred
Heart Church, rs being from the pastor
of the oldest church in this city to one
Of the youngest.
At O'Clock, Cardinal Gibbons ad-
ministered the sacrament of confirma-
