nacle in this city where four years
ago Theodore Roosevelt, then the
chief executive OF the nation preached

to follow in the foot steps of his pre-
decessor and deliver a preachment.

and all. The immense audience in the
fiag-draped edifice, the splendid musl-
cal program Of operate and patriotic
selections, the enthusiastic cheering
as President Taft appeared and the
quick response Of the audience to
points when he endeayored to i'm
press upon his hearers, inspired him.
the president declared with higher
thoughts OF country and patriotism.
The pregident's sermon was an az
peal for ainity Between the people for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action Of others
when possible to do 50 and not to,
harbOr hatred or animosity.
/ "A soft answer turpeth away WRATH
but gFievious words stir up anger"
was the text selected by the chief
magistrate from the book Of Proverbs,
The sermon was homely utterance,
largely made up Of q relation Of
stories to give emphasis to the points
the president desired to make. FL

was driven in review Of some 10000
