and take a Divine.
 St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 21.--In sharp con- trast with the strenuous experience of yesterday, when a hurricane effort was Exposition in nine hours. President Roosevelt's time today was passed quietly and unevenfully. Rest and re- euperation from the fatigue cefs Sat- urday constituted today almost the sole idea of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and their immediate par ty. 5.fsf C.
 After a late family breakfast Ut the residence of William H. Thompson, the treasurer of the exposition com pany. who entertained the president, Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Alice Roosevelt, Secretary and Mrs. Loeb. and pr. P. Nj. Rixie. the president and party atten- ded divine services at II o'clock in the Second Presbyterian church. It was known that the President would att tend the morning services at this church and long before the hour Of his arrival. the streets in that vicinity were banked with people almost from curb to curb.
 The crowd was handled admirably. however. and gave the big force of po- lice and secret service officers no trou- ble, A considerable crowd assembled also near the Thompson residence. As the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. de- scended the steps of the residence to enter their carriage. the people re- speotfully uncovered. but there was no noisy. demonstration. The silence on this day was appreciated by the Presl- dent. Both he and Mrs. Roosevelt ack- nowledged the silent salutation of the crowd-the former by tipping his hat. and the latter by lowing and smil- ing.
 Careful precautions were taken by the officers to insure the personal safe ty of the President. The Presidents carriage was surrounded by secret sep vice officers and two picked serReants of the Sth United States Cavalry rode. one on each side of the carriage, both going to and returning from the church. As the Presidents carriage stonped at the church entrance, the crowd could restrain its friendly feel ing no longer. Hearty cheers were given for the President, which he ack- nowledged by tipping his hat. He was met at the entrance by the officers Of inc church. who escorted him and Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of the .party to pews which had been reserved for them.
 The service was conducted and the sermon preached by Rev s. J. Nic- COILS, pdSlOT Ol lIlt hO ouD feet of Dr. NccolIss discourse was '"The Glory of the Kingdom of God and the Progress 1t is Making In the World" No reference was made bv the pastor in his sermon to the Presi- dent and only the usual supplication was offered in his final prayer for the safety and wise conduct of the Presi- dent of the United States. At the con- clusion of the service. however pr. Niccolls requested the congregation to remain seated while the President ard his party retired from the church. Tha President was well on his way to the residence of Mir. Thompson. therefore. before the congregation had left the church.
 After luncheon. the President and Mrs. Roosevelt received infor mally a few personal friends who called to pay their respects. The President also greeted one of his former com- rades in the Rough Riders, Priva e Schroeder of Muskogee, I. T.. who is now connected with the Indian police of the Territory.
