with flaming red polnsettias with a

Father Doyle, who is an eloquent
speaker as well as man Of literary

work to which ne has devoted his life,
that of the Paulist order, especially in
giving missions and explaining the doc

nom Catholics.

the balance with these two are but as

1.-The salvation of the souls of men is
the great central effort of history. For
this was the first Christmas Instituted
and there was Mount Calvary with
all its grewsome memories. For this
one purpose was the Christian church
established"
. Father Doyle outlined the work and
the benefits derived from the work OF
the Paulist Fathers. He said it is es-
pecially by non-Catholics that the need
of trained missionaries is felt. When a
missionary addresses audiences COM
posed of persons, many of whom have
been reared in violent opposition to
catholicism and some of whom feel
that the supreme pontiff is anti-Christ,
it is essential that the missionary be

NEW YEARS TIMIDITIEs
Minister Urges Hearers to Take Cour-

New Year Timidities' was the sub
ject of New Years sermon preached
by the Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage
at the First Presbyterian church yes
terday.
From the text HE that observeth
the wind shall not sow" the Rev.
Mr.. Talmage spoke in part:
What change there is in our way
of keeping the holidays from that of
olden times! The old-fashioned New
Years and the old-fashioned Christmas,
the od-fashioned Thanksgiving day,
were as different from their successors,
as the poke bonnets and loose skirts
and powdered curls of Colonial days
were as different from their successor
of the milliners and dressmakers and
Lair dressers of modern times.
What you need, oh man, at the be-
ginning of this New Year, is to take
big inventory, not of your misfor-
tunes but of your blessings. Find
out all the bright things you know
about your life. Repeat them over
and over and over to yourself. Get
faith in God and in yourself Then
your associates will get faith in you.
BY their increased labor you will get
faith in them. Then, together with
faith in each other, and faith in God,
you will go forth with renewed zeal for
the seed-planting and the multitude
nous harvest will surely come. Never
let your associates know that you have
lost faith in yourself.
Take courage. All will yet come out
right. "He that observeth the wind
shall not SOW" Shall not we on this
New Years Sabbath press on with
glorious anticipation for the gospel
seed planting at hand. which viii ul-
timately mean our harvest ahead? !
pray God that this coming year may be
the best of years to all of us, as 1t
will surely be the last of earthly years
to some of us. A Happy, Happy New

HONOR MEMORY
OF LATE MINISTER
CHICHESTER TABLET UN-
YELLED BY CHURCH
Only Remaining Member of First
Session Tells of Life and
Work of Former
Pastor

Special services were held yesterday
morning at the ImIAanuel Presbyte-
rian church on the occasion of the un-
yelling of the mural tablet erected to
the memory of the late Rev. William
John Chichester, D. D., founder OF the
church. There was large congrega-
ton and much interest was manifested
in the service. Special music was rem
dered.
The Rev. Hugh K. Walker, the pas
tor, made brief remarks regarding the
special features of the services and in
troduced Lyman Stewart, the only re-
naming member of the first session OF
the Emmanuel church, who had been
chosen to perform the ceremony Of u1-
yelling the tablet.
Mr.. Stewart said in 1885 the pulpit
of the First Presbyterian church be-
came vacant through the resignation Of
its pastor, the late John w. Ellis. The
church had on it's roll 225 members,
thirty-five of whom were Chinese. Cor
respondence was instituted, resulting in
the securing of DR.. Chichester from a
much larger pastorate in the east.
Growth of Church
At the end of three years of DIR. Chi
chester's pastorate the membership had
increased to 800. The church now be-
ing too small to accommodate the con-
gregation, DR.. Chichester asked for a
larger church. This the members of
the church did not feel ready to pro-
vide, and hence the organization of the
Emmanuel church, with 105 members
from the mother church, the organiza-
tion being completed in 1888 with 100
members. Lots were purchased and
the present church was built and paid
for during the period of financial strin-
gency. In 1897 DR.. Chichester was
called to pastorate in Chicago being
succeeded by the present pastor, DR..
Walker He died in 1908.
Following Mr.. Stewards remarks, he
unveiled the tablet at the right of the
pulpit, which bears the inscription;
"A Loving Tribute to the Memory of
Rev. William John Chichester. d. d.,
the Seli-Sacrificing Founder of This
Church. Born October 20, lS49. Died

DR.. Walker preached the sermon, taxi
ing as his text "And no man taketh
this honor unto himself but ye that is
called of God, as was Aaron" He said
in part;
ITO be spokesman for Jehovah,
to be a voice and not an echo OF a
great movement; to belong TO the spir-

tutes the true apostolic succession are
indeed the highest of earthly honors.
and surely no man would be so rash
and presumptuous as TO think of taking
II unto himself. The modern minister
is Aaron's successor. There is some
thing instructive in the respect and
almost reverence which the world has
for the sacred calling. The world Is
quick TO detect shams and counter
feits, and il has only scorn and con-
