CHURCH Centennial
4
Anniversary Of New York
Avenue Presbyterians.
SERMON BY THE PASTOR
REVIEW OF ONE HUNDRED YEARS
OF HISTORY.
The Exercises to Continue Each Even
ing Until and Including Wednes-
day Evening.

With special services yesterday morning
and evening the New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church commenced the celebration Of
the one-hundredth. anniversary of Its
founding. Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. pas
tor of the church for the past eight years,
preached a sermon in the morning on the
centennial history of the church, and in the
evening there was number of addresses
detailing the churchs early vicissitudes and
later achievements In Christian work, by
men who have been identified with 1t for
many years. The auditorium was beauti-
fully decorated with palms and flowers, and
over the pulpit was draped a large Ameri-
can flag. These decorations will not be re-
moved until the close of the celebration,
which will continue today, tomorrow and
Wednesday.
The church was crowded at both services
yesterday. there being in the audience many
persons who are in the city purposely to
attend the anniversary exercises
DIR. Radcliffe's address at the morning
service was largely a review of the lives
and services of the ministers who have
served the church since its founding. From
a historical point of view it was of unusual
interest to citizens of Washington.
The pastor spoke, in part, as follows:
The word of God for this morning is in
the epistle to the Philippians, in the first
chapter and fifth verse: Your fellowship in
the gospel from the first day until now
From the first day until now. That first
day was a day of small things. 1t was
day of limited horizon and narrow expert
ence The progress therefrom has been
through the age of modern miracles. 1t has
been century which has brought to civili-
zation a wider horizon and larger endow-
ment century that has endowed the earth
with a liberated science; with multiplied
arts, with enriched literature. with republi-
can government. with a simpler and larger
and richer religious knowledge and faith
In that day of small things the state was
but a narrow strip along the Atlantic; the
government was an experiment; the church

He was succeeded by the Rev. DIR.

keeper once said he would go to hear that
man Baker If he would preach on the text
he gave him. Mr.. Baker consented, and
the barkeeper, more familiar with the COM
mon talk than with his Bible. sent in his
text, Mind your own business, and Mr..
Baker announced his text from Thessa-
lonians That you study to do your own
business and by his exposition Of what
is ones true business won the heart OF the
barkeeper as regular attendant ana
friend. In this church John Juincy Adams
was then q constant attendant, attracted
to Mr. Baker by his pulpit power and
winning personality. He became the pas
tors lifelong friend. From here Mr. Baker
went to Savannah, and preached through
the country so that his name and faith
were as a flaming fire; and in the latter
part of his life built large and strong the
foundations of the educational and ecciesi-
astical life in Texas, that are today MS
enduring monument. Often in the recent
work of Mr.. Moody, that evengelist had his
sermons translated. printed and distributed
in Europe as fervent and eloquent ana
useful efforts of evangelism.
After him came rapid succession OF
minister's of earnest, consecrated lives, who
brought into large effectiveness the Second
Presbyterian Church.
cat one time there came to 1t Rev Mr..
Wood a Congregational minister whose
coming was as tempest, for out OF the
seventy or eighty members forty entered
protest against the preaching of Congre-
gational minister as SubverSfve OF Presby-
terian doctrine and contrary to the law of
the church, and the forty persons marched
themselves out of the church and organized
for worship in neighboring hall: Subse-
quently came the Rev. Mr.. Eckard, Phila-
delphia lawyer, missionary to Ceylon for
ten years. and teacher who strove earnestly
to gather together the scattered and dis
tracted flock. For his first service he found
only a congregation of one. But subse-
quently the congregation was enlarged, and
his beautiful spirit and simple teaching
brought harmony and unity. and he with
drawing to Lafayette College and after
ward dying in the eighty-third year of his
age. at Bennington, Pa, left this memory
of his life. that he shaped the disorganized
elements. held them together and secure

good fortune and kind providence that
gave him name and place in the critical
time, whose patience and tact and skill
brought together and held together these
varied elements. Having already had dis

days, as was said of many others, that one

President Lincoln, who was a regular
attendant upon his services and his devoted
friend, explained his choice of DR.. Gurley
because. as he said, 'Gurley doesn't preach
politics.
II suppose he meant by that Gurley didn't
preach partisan politics. In the large and
comprehensive sense, politics must be

A MURDEROUS WEAPON.
Just the Thing for Those Who Delight in Kill.
jns Birds and Small Game,

A new shotgun has been invented
which works automatically, and pot
hunters seem delighted over the pros
pect of owning such weapon. The
gun has q magazine holding q number
OF cartridges. The shooter discovers a
flock of quails or ducks; and pulls the
trigger. The recoil of the first shot
throws out the empty shell, throws
new one into place and cocks the gun.
Imagine, says an exchange, the de.
struction OF such a weapon in the
hands Of an individual whose nature
delights in the slaughter OF wild beasts
and fowls. 1t is incomprehensible to
us why it is that so many men delight
in killing wild game. 1t is not be-
cause the meat is of any particular
use to them, but because they exper-
fence wild thrill of joy in seeing wild
fowls fall to the earth bleeding and
dying. This magazine gun ought to
be prohibited by law. The other kind
is destructive enough, goodness knows.
