Congregational Church Discusses
 Japanese-Russfan War-Heavy Fall
 of Rain-LabOr Day to be Generally
 Observed.
 At the morning service in the Grand Avenue .congTegational church, pr, Sheath addressed his people before the communion service upon Peace Through Sacrifice" He said in part: Another portrait may now be placed in the gallery of the magnanimous. By the side of General Grant may be plac-. ed that of the mikado. A war lasting eighteen months, costing $1,6OO, 100000. and S46.0OO lives in killed and wounded is now ended. The world is at peace and it is a peace wrought through. sacrifice.
 Japan has gained a great victory. She has made sure hsr own liberty; she is now a world power; she has. placed herself in position to do great good for herself and the surrounding peoples. But above everything she has gained the name of generosity and has 1 taught this age a lesson of sacrifice for peace and humanity. As long as history lasts will Japan be teaching the Christian lesson of sacrifice for hu- manitys welfare. .. we are reminded to-day of another victory achieved through sacrifice, bringing an infinite peace to the word. It was the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, l bringing victory over sin and the peace I of God to sin-cursed humanity. Peace I l leave with you were the words with | which Jesus walked to the cross. ,.....
 The lesson of to-day is peace, through sacrifice. The nation, which sacrifices for her subjects enjoys in 1 terna1 peace. Labor and capital will enjoy peace only as they learn to sac l rifice for each others welfare. The in- dividual soul gains peace through the l sacrifice of sim" +t l At the evening service, Dr.. Sheath spoke upon Theodore Roosevelt, His l text was, Blessed are the Peacemak- ers." He said: Wonder in Oyster Bay 1tAlS LAlOuod1lNo Ol lllSoHcbSto Ol GOllSlctlu- .lation, and one of the frequent express sions used in them is found in. the words of my text. President Roosevelt urged peace when the crowned heads 4 of Europe Kept silent; his voice was heard, and peace Is the result. We have la great man at the. head of our nation, | and we want to learn the secret of his | greatness. In the heat of a political \ campaign he was called impulsive,' l 'headstrong3 a self-willed adyenturer upon the high seas of public Hfe,' sen Il sational, spectacular and arbitrary a \ hoy with 8 lighted torch in. a powder I magazine, imagining himself hero l etc. To-day ,Witte says, History will accord you the glory;' The New York I Sun, 'Theordore Roosevelt stands un- challenged the worlds first citizen;' The New York Mail, 'Imperishable hon | or will be awarded to President Roose- l welt for his part and so speak the crowned heads of Europe, the press ev- anywhere the representatives of politics I and of nations everywhere.
 How shall we account for this con- trast? Not by his courage although II JIG FlOtuttu lllC ELlluGtlC NA past AAAStAA I ods of diplomacy, and in the face of foreign nations pressed his demand be- | fore czar and mikado. Not by his in dependence, although he was guilty of unprecedented meddling,' according to l diplomatists; not by his personality or his position as president of the United l States, although these are both of great weight. It was his love of and interest in the right. President Roosevelt be- lieves in righteousness, and he strives for the triumph of the right. He may he may be thwarted in his purposes, but he believes in and labors for the tri- umph of the right.
 'eThe great need of to-day is a re- vival of righteous living and of right eous relations among men. Because of greed for gain, keen methods of compe- l,tition in business, corruption in politics, bribery in legislative halls, dishonesty on the part of employer and employee, the times call loudly for faith in the right and effort for it's triumph.
 "The revival is coming and young men of to-day will do well to ally them- selves with Roosevelt, Weaver, Toilette, Folke and others who are leading in
 the way"
