"But must we celebrate?' I hear some
tired soul say. What! Are we to have no
reverence? Are we to plunge headiong in
to a sea of anarchy? Are We to forget
the noble dead and the Declaration of In
dependence? Heaven Forbid
Yet we need not be wholly without hope.
There is a way, at the same time decent,
conventional. reverent and-if I may coin
n word-celebratious. Let us have our hol-
idays. or. as doubtless they were once
meant to be, holy days" peaceful days,
when we do no work. see no company,
shoot no cannon and eat no more than we
can with comfort digest. Once a year. and
no oftener, let us make unto ourselves a
great celebration. On that day let US rise
early and, seated cOZily half in and half out
of our beds. look through our stockings for
the gifts our loving relatives nave placed
there for us.
Then, our pockets equally divided be-
tween frecrackeTs and candy. punk and
sugar piums. let us fare forth to make n
great noise that shall awake all slothful
persons who may have forgotten to-day is
Celebration Day. In order follow break
fast and the Christmas tree.
Before we start for the cemetery. laden
with wreaths for heroes graves. we may
permit ourselves n little relaxation with
the pretty colored eggs we have prepared
for this occasion. On this day let there be

There are retiring-rooms for women and
smoking-rooms for men.
The main floor is reached by a broad.
stone stairway, which opens midway be-
tween the East Room and the grand vesti-
bule at the north front.
The most notable change in the interior
OF the building is the absence of the costly
opalescent screen which formerly divided
the public from the private apartments.
That screen was introduced during the
Arthur administration
Now four large pillars with open. space
between, afford an unobstructed view from
the vestibule of the Red. Blue and. Green
parlors.

OFFICIAL OCCASIONS.

stairs for the President and his family on
semioficial occasions.
1t is there that guests assemble for state
dinners and where the members of the
Diplomatic CORPS congregate at state func-
tons prior to their formal presentation to
the President.
The adjacent room. is the Blue Parlor,
where all functions of state are held.
1t Is where the President stands to re-
ceive his guests from foreign countries
when they present their credentials or let
tiers of recall.
1t was in that room a former bachelor.
President Cleveland, became a benedict.
The Green Parlor comes next. and is re-
garded as a sort of antechamber or over
flow rendezvous for the Blue Parlor when
that room is crowded.
These three rooms nave been renovated
and redecorated in accordance with the COL
ors by which they are designated, and only
an expert can do Justice to the rich, but eff
fective materials employed by the artistic
decorator.
The great East Room has undergone a
complete change. The somber hues Of old

forth upon the sideboard for all Corners.
After we return from the cemetery let US
listen for half an hour to a patriotic speech,
after which e~cstatic function let us, seating
ourselves at the beautiful table, tastefully
decorated with American flags and Easter
lilies, eat as much as We possibly can.
In the afternoon there will be a football
game, of course, followed by thanksgiving
services for the winning side, and for the
mothers of the boys that were not killed.
After that. squirting ourselves on with the
glorious thought of how much celebrating
We are getting through, We should go to
half a dozen receptions and drink egg-nog
at every one. Then perhaps we shall crawl
home. Say that a few friends have been in
vited to supper. and that we drina q little
more egg-nog. The appointed hour next
comes when we may set out to roam the
streets of the gorgeously illumined city:
mamma and papa, all the children and our
few chosen friends together. We get u good

cession go by, and we cheer till our lungs
and vocal chords will work no more. Then

and go to bed.
Thus would we unite duty and pleasure in
a slittering combination that should fire

satisfy the soul Of the most registering

gold and bronze have given place to .
bright gold and white effect.
The historical paintings of George Wash
ington, Martha Washington. Jefferson and
err part of the mansion. and the walls are
destitute of anything beyond the fine work
of the decorators.
Three low hanging crystal chandeliers
give the room n long. narrow appearance,
when, in fact. the room is almost a com
plete square.
STATE DINING-ROOM
GRAND APARTMENT.
The most pronounced change on the main
floor Is in the state 'dining-room, in the west
wing of the building.
The room has been enlarged to take in the
entire width of the wide corridor. which di-
vides the vestibule from the state apart
ments.
There Is now accommodation for at least
100 guests ut table, where before 1t was diff
ficult to seat fifty persons with comfort.
The private dining-room is opposite the
state dining-room, to the north. and is
fitted up with warm-tinted mahogany.
This room IS seldom used by the President
and his family alone, for his bountiful hos
pitality results in guests at his table at al
most every meal except breakfast.
1t often happens. too. that visitors drop
in and join the President at the morning -e-
past.
The second floor has been converted into
a commodious suite of living apartments.
Of ten sleeping rooms and Ave bathrooms.
The main stairway Is located in what was
Formerly the hall and stairway. which led
up to the Presidents office rooms before
the remodeling process commenced.
AT the foot Of the stairway is an iron
sliding gateway. which renders the upper
floor strictly private. even though the lower
noor may be open to sightseerR.

'In our Saviour day the Church
was dead; it had motion but 1t was
dead motion. The structure of the
] Pharisee was but CHASTITY, unburIed
corpse; but Notwithstanding all Its
forms of rottenness our Master chal-
lstlc of that Church. Oh, Church of
God, you have lost your power to save
men, We are the salt of the earth and
have lost your SAVIOR. 1t had lost the
very purpose for which it was ordained
of God and established in the world.
We're there no additions to the Church
of The Pharisees? o yes There were
pfoselytes In plenty, but Iii entering
that Church they became, said our
Saviour with frlghtful emphasis, only
the more the children OF hell than they
were before. What have you then IN
that Church of the Pharisees? An
Institution that while protesting to be
Gods agent in the salvation of the
world, was really huge stnm bling
block In all mems way. The eccles-
Iastical machine hao become every
thing, the purpose for which the
machine was made, nothing. This
water of life committed to that ages
care, and ordained to flow through all |
the world, they had damned up into
a private pool and monopoly until 1t
had become stagnant and stretcnful and
the worlds peril. That church had
lost its saving power.
Now beloved, the fact remains,
whatever be its significance, that it Is
the church's powerlessness to save the
of men unto God, that the real
heart of Christendom ls lamenting to-
day. The salt has lost its sadness.
This is not only the verdict of thought
full Christendom, but Its sorrowful
confession as well. Says the most
brilliant and devoted young curate of
the Church of England, 1T is a time
Of stagnation and s:upor. 1t Is time
in which all men have sunk into dead
