Special Sermon for Knights TempIar
Attended Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church Upon In vitaton of Rev. Dr. M. s. Kaufman who Preached on The Ascension.

Upon Invitation from Rev Dr. M. s. Kaurnan, pastor of Trinity Methodist
 Episcopal church, members of Colum-
 bian commancry, No. 4. K. T.. to the number of 5s attended the Sunday evening service to lear a sermon on The Ascension, the commandery att tending the service on Ascension day each year, but this year it was delay ed until Sunday There was a large attendance at the service, the contri- button being for the Rock Nook Home. Members of the commandery,who were in uniform, occupied the center pews.
 Dr. Kaufman took as his theme, Christ's Ascension; Its Inspiration to Knightly Living. His text was: And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven. Luke xxiv., 51. He said, in part:
 There is no day we celebrate which Is filled with richer, finer, diviner meaning than Ascension day. That day witnessed the coronation of our King. That day demonstrated the Deity of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. The one occurrence which lifted that day into radiant splendor for all time. :. linched-clinched every vital truth ever uttered in relation to him. All the prophecies concerning him were thus confirmed. All he had said about his own unique nature was then veri- fled.
 His birth at Bethlehem was lunin- ous with promise. His public minis try proved him to be the Supreme Teacher Ills death on Calvarys cross manifested his fathomless love for sin ful man. And Eastertide is forever musical with anthems and orations, sounding forth his unmistakeable vic tory over death and the grave. But the climax, the fitting consummation of Christ's whole earth career is be- held in his ascension. After his res- urrection had he not gone up on high to the right hand of the Father, he would have left upon mankind a pain ful sense of incompleteness. By his ascension the circle is complete and perfection Is stamped upon his entire career from the eternal throne of God head back again to that same eternal throne. Christ claimed all power, even that of creator. This was hinted at in all his miracles, In his presence Iva ter blushed into wine" the winds hush ed their bowling into silence at his command, and beneath his tread the raging pillows became solid pavement for his feet to walk upon. Disease fled at his approach, and even death listen ed when he spoke and released its hold upon those whom he called back to life But the fullest illustration of his control over natural law is observed in his ascension. Even gravitation, that Titanic force which with giant

After a week of faithful and large | attendances, included in which were many non-C n-Catholics. at all the mission services in St. Mary's church, the clos ing exercises of the mems mission
 were held on Sunday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Every seat In the church was filled. The services commenced with the recitation of the rosary by Rev
 James R. Mitchell, after which the closing sermon was preached by Rev. Edward Downes, who took for his text The Lord thy God thou shalt adore and Him only shalt thou serve. After re- viewing the past week and finally cleansing their souls from sin by the reception of holy communion Father Downes urged the men to persevere. The church offers two great channels of perseverance against sin, of which you have cleansed yourselves, first, the faithful and continual attendance at the holy sacrifice of the mass and the appointed days. secondly, prayer, and, thirdly, the frequent reception of holy communion. The men were congratu- lated upon the great success of the znission, whicE was far beyond the ex- pectation of the mission fathers. The renewal of the baptismal vows were held before the shrine inside the altar rail, which was decorated with cut flowers, plants, ferns and lighted can dles. the meaning of each of which was explained by Father Downes. Follow ing was the papal benediction, and then. closing the exercises, the bene- diction of the most blessed sacrament
 On Saturday morning the children's
 mission closed with special exercises. Father Downes delivered the closing address to the children. Of the chil- dren Father Downes asked a farewell favor that they would never render an insult to our Lord by failing to attend the sacrifice of the mass on Sundays. He also especially thanked the chill dren for their prayers which were the means of Gods blessings on the suc- cess of the past missions.
 At the 10.3O o'clock mass Sunday morning Rev. Father Mitchell delivered a powerful sermon on Modern Chris tianity and the Christianity of Christ.
 The untiring and zealous work of the missionary fathers during the past two weeks in the parish have been reward ed by two most successful missions that have done no small amount of good not only Tn St. Mary's parish but all through this vicinity.

1 grip holds the planets in their orbits and the stars in their places, and per
 mits not the tiniest atom to slip over
 its bounds-even gravitauion, which usually keeps bodies on our globe, rec ognized his authority and interposed no obstruction to his glorious return homeward. Some years ago 1t was my splendid privilege to stand on the Mount of Olives, near the supposed spot where our Saviour's pierced feet last touched the earth. It was indeed a privilege to be there, and experience a new sense of certainty touching my Masters real return to his throne above. How much longer is life, how much loftier and more magnificent are our ambitions when we actually be- lieve all the teachings of Gods word concerning Christ! It was this living faith that welded the early Christians into conquering hosts.
 Mans capacity for knowing God proves his origin to be divine. Closely allied to this is his capacity for hero ism. Our ascended Lord knew what was In man, in the depths of his per- sonality. when he said in effect: Give me a cross on which to suffer and die, and I will convert 1t Into a throne from which to rule the race" From that day to this the choicest spirits of the race have constituted an invisible but noble brotherhood whose standard is the cross and whose ideal is the Christ. Herein we have rational explanation of that chiva1ry and knighthood which lighted up the pages of medieval Eis- tory and romance with glory all its own.
 Historians tell US that the origin of Free Masonry is shrouded in mystery. May we not believe that originally 1t sprang from the deeper, diviner inn pulses of the human soul-from that unsuitable longing after life at it's mo- blest and best, which is a prophecy of mans divinely intended destiny? Nov ed by these disturbing impulses, men of like yearnings banded themselves together for mutual protection, mutual help and mutual inspiration toward knightly living. If this be true, then your aim Is one of the worthiest and 1t imposes obligations the weightiest. Knights of the Cross, Knights of the Red Cross, the blood Red Cross of Cal vary upon you are the voluntary vows to follow your chosen Leader, the once crucified, but now risen and ascended Lord. Such sacred vows rest not light ly upon any true knight. The finest instance of confidence Tn men ever re- corded was that of Christ when he placed In the hands and upon the hearts of his few disciples the Stupend- ous task of extending his kingdom over the earth. To this day he says: am counting upon my followers to give me this world as my loyal realm. What an inspiration to knightly living.

REV. B. c. MILLER
Speaks at First Church, as Represen
 tative of Reform Bureau.

At the First Congregational church on Sunday morning the Rev. R. c. Miller spoke, representing the Inter national Reform bureau of Washing ton, D. c. He spoke of the many let ters sent to congressman and men in high position. DO they read these letters D. he asked. A bill in favor of the liquor traffic was to be considered. Letters in favor of this bill were re- ceived; as a result of them the bill passed. If letters against the meas ure had been received, the result might have been different. People say that congressman all drink. I never saw but one of these men under the influence of liquor.
 From pressure brought to bear up- on congress on the question of closing the gates of the St. Louis exposition on Sunday, 1t was decided that mon ey be appropriated for the exposition orly on condition that the gates were closed on the Sabbath. &
 Blocked Opium Monopoly.
 Our bureau was the chief organiza- tion in breaking up racetrack gan1b- ling in the District of Columbia. The question now before us Is that of opium. A bill was to be passed in the Philippines authorizing the sale of opium. A cablegram was sent from the Philippines to the reform bureau in Washington, the closing words of which were Focus public sentiment on the president" They went to the president. It was the only thing I ever knew him to fail to act prompt ly upon. Letters and petitions were poured in upon him. At the last mo- ment President Roosevelt cabled to the Philippines: Hold up opium mo- nopoly for further consideration |" Then, finally, Tt must be completely abandoned"
 The Cigarette Evil.
 Later in the Sunday school MT. Mill CT spoke about the use of cigarettes. First, they weaken the head and af- feet the mind. I asked President Roosevelt if he smoked cigarettes. NO, sir, I do not smoke cigarettes" Sec ond, smoking them weakens the hand, 1t takes away the power to labor There Is not much chance of success in the world if you smoke cigarettes. Third 1t weakens the heart.
