Sermons to the Ueterans in luasbinoton Pulpits
Honor to Whom Honor Is
Due" :"
REV. DONALD C. MCLEOD.

The Rev. Donald G. Mcleod, pastor 81
the First Presbyterian Church, preached
special sermon yesterday morning to
the members of the Grand Army of the
Republic. He paid high tribute to the
patriotism. heroism. and valor shown
by them during the civil war. Words, he
| said, utterly fail to express all we owe
to them for what they did in the past
and made possible for our country In
the future.
Notwithstanding the steady rainfall
the great auditorium OF the church was
comfortably filled, many visiting men,
bers of the Grand Army Of the Republic
being IN the congregation. The visiting
veterans were given seats near the
chancel rail. The sanctuary was taste
fully draped with the national colors,
as was also the choir loft.
Honor to whom honor is due" was
the subject OF the Rev. DR.. Mcleod s
discourse, the sermon being based on
the text. Paul to the Romans. xiii:2:
Render therefore to all their dues;
tribute to whom tribute is due; custom
to whom custom; fear to whom fear;
honor to whom honor Before the SER
mon the congregation. led by the choir.
sang my Country, 'Tis of Thee" with
much enthusiasm.
During his prayer, before reading the
Scripture lesson, the Rev. DR.. Mcleod
invoked the Almighty to touch the hearts
of the contending parties in the coal
strike and so lead to an amicable set
t1ement of all their differences.
Before entering upon the discussion of
his subject, the Rev. DR.. Mcleod said
that his church, with others. secular or
CARNATIONS and the people generally.
joins in welcoming the Grand Army OF
the Republic to the Capital OF the coun-
try, which. he said, is a heritage to the
valor and patriotism and heroism of the
veterans of 1876.
There are many people, the speaker
said, who fail to give credit where it is
due. These, he said. should remember
that the soldier is put forward as the
best example as is shown in Paul 70
Timothy when he said, Thou therefore
endure hardness as a good soldier OF
Jesus Christ

The Martyr Spirit Of a
Ma ion y
DIR. WALLACE RADCLIFFE.

The morning service at the New York
Avenue Church was especially interest
ing. owing to the presence of General
Torrance and his entire staff. The
irenching rain Of the forenoon seemed
to have no terrors for the veterans, and
little before II the general and the
members of his staff entered carriages
at the Ebbitt and were driven to church.
Large clusters OF flowers and ferns
stood about the chancel, and the lectern
was prettily draped in the national col
ors. General Torrance occupied the pew
used by. the late President Lincoln,
which has been left intact. while every
other part of the interior of the church
has been completely remodeled.
Like March to Eternity.
In his sermon. DR.. Wallace ladcliffe.
pastor OF the church, touched briefly on
the Grand Army of the Republic. liken-
ing it in its march through the streets
of Washington to the march of humanity
through this life to eternity.
Whatever may have been the cause
or the result of the great strife of 1861
1865 said DR.. Radcliffe. ''it developed
one Of the most beautiful and striking
examples of the martyr spirit ever
shown the world since it's beginning. No
man can fail to recognize the beauty.
power, and need of the martyr spirit.
1t has not been so long since an example
was given to us in our national life
the cause of Cuba. What this Govern
ment did for that little island was not
for gold, but for a higher claim-that Of
humanity, that liberty might have as
sertion. 1t was the first time in ma
tional life that Intervention vas made
that a neighbor might have COM
fort, life. and peace. There is always
the good word to be spoken. The right
thing to be done.
In the conflict back in the sixties
and those preceding it there was an epi-
demic of good. One spoke and the other
needed An act of one brought oft the
patriotism of the other.
To-day there Is the conflict Of labor
and capital, the strong against the
weak, the independence of the rich and
the care and anxiety Of the poor. Dur
ing the past few days We have been
looking IN the face of riot and trouble.
There was a grand opportunity at the
White House for the display of the
martyr spirit. for self-forgetfulness and
of a peoples needs"

Old Soldiers Attend
Services in the City
Churches in Numbers

Yesterdays religious services in
most churches in this city were no
ticeable by reason of the attendance
at them of considerable numbers of
veterans and those who had come to
this city to participate in the great
convention or witness the parades
and various displays. Considering
that the streets were flooded from
morning until late in the afternoon
the attendance at the churches would
seem to prove that the old soldiers
are imbned with that religious spirit
which marks the true patriot and sol
der.
The commander-in-c chief of the G..
A. R. and his staff attended services
at the New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church.
at the Luther Place Memorial
Church patriotic service took place
last night at 7:30, which was at
tended by many old soldiers. The
Rev. j. G. Butler preached, and Mrs.

Church, the Rev. DIR. c. H. Butler

Veterans of War and Of
Peace"
REV. JOHN VAN ScHAICK.

Rev. John Van Schaick, jr., pastor OF
the Church Of Our Father. Universalist,
Thirteenth and l. Streets northwest. ad-
dressed his congregation yesterday
morning on the subject, Veterans of
War and of Peace"
The services were in honor Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic. and tho
text was taken from Second Timothy,
ii:3-"Thou. therefore, endure hard
mass as a true soldier of Jesus Christ"
There is better translation. he said,
which brings out the true idea of the
text 1t is found in the revised version
Thou. therefore. take thy part in suf-
fering hardship"
| The idea that Rev. Van Schaick
wished to convey to his hearers was
that it is the duty OF every man and
woman, whether born in affluence or
poverty, to reach out and help bear the
heavy burdens and endure the hardships
of this world.
During the progress of his sermon he
paid a glowing tribute to President
Roosevelt In his efforts to end the coal
strike and thus avert the misery and
suffering which Is bound to follow in
case il is not settled.
He referred to this week, when the
citizens of Washington are rendering
homage to the soldiers OF the civil war
as a memorable c.le. He said:
"Is 1t anything else than honor to
men and women. who left comfort to
take their share in suffering hardship?
Just as Southerners believed this to
be a Confederation, Northerners be-
lieved It a Federal Union. Just as Vir-
ginia believed sovereignty to reside in
the State, New England believed 1t to
be vested in the Republic. Here was
