COMMISSIONERS WEST.
Sermon in Morning by DR.. George B.
Stevens, in Evening by DR..
Merrill e. Gates.

A feature Of the conservation services In
the enlarged Mount Pleasant Congregation
al Church yesterday morning, and one
which was entirely unexpected by most
members of the congregation, was the at
tendance of President Roosevelt as the
guest of Commissioner West The Presi-
dent arrived early in the service. having
been driven from the White House in the
Commissioners carriage. and. as he walked
down the aisle to .fhe West pew near the
'front.' all those in the, auditorium rose but
many did not know the reason. 1t was
not until Rev. Ross Fishburn. the pas
tor of the church, at the conclusion of the
service asked them TO remain standing
while the chief executive passed out that

Fishburn, the pastor, and others thought 1t
would be appropriate and an honor to the
congregation to have the President there
1t has made the service memorable In more
than one respect to the members.
In the West pew with the President ana
the Commissioner were Mrs. West and their
son andstWo daughters. In the pew behind
a secret service man and Detective OBrlen
of the local force had seats. During the
prea ching of the sermon by Rev. DR.. George
Barker Stevens. professor of theology In
Yale University, the President listened
closely and later took part in the reSpon-
siye readings of the dedication service. Mr..
West drove the President back to the White
House after the service.
The Opening Service.
The service began at IL o'clock in the
new auditorium of the church, which was
crowded long before all who wished adj
mittance had arrived. The pulpit was
beautifully decorated with flowers and
palms. Illuminated with concealed electric
lights. --.----..
The immense pipe organ, which with the
rest of the auditorium, is new, is in the
southeast corner. In the choir loft were
seated the members of the choir of the
church. Miss Beatrice S. Goodwin, Miss
Mary E. Pond. DIR. Charles l.. Bliss and
Mr.. w. A. Graham. A feature of the must
cal program was the solo. "Open the Gates
of the Temple" by Mrs. Thomas c.
Noyes
The invocation and the responsive reading
of Psalm 122 opened the service. Mr.. Fish
burn conducted this portion. When the
choir had sung an anthem, Appear, Thou
Light Divine, the scriptural lesson was

Rev S. H. Wright's First Sermon Be
fore Centennial Baptist Church.

Rev S. H. Wright. the newly appointed
pastor of the Centennial Baptist Church.
preached his first sermon at that church
yesterday morning to a large congrega-
tion. Mr.. Wright came to Washington
from Butler, KY, where his last charge
was located. He took as his text Gods
Conditional Promise" and referred to the
honor and significance of being called the
children of God. He said it was a great
privilege, though a solemn thing, to wear
the name of God, for it means duty and
service. Humility. he observed. was a car
dinal principle for progress in the Chris
tian life, for pride was the greatest hin
drance to the Christian. He said man has
TO get down low in Gods kingdom in order
to be called up higher. and added that II
was a pity the day of sackcloth and ashes
was past. Mr.. Wright concluded by say

In the course &c his remarks Rev. Dr.

of the human faculties. that great men
are compounds of great and little qualities;
that few men have shown a marked de-

times see men of great intellectual power
