Sentiment Of Pastors Apparently
General.

Council Bluffs, Feb. "a circular
letter announced statewide memoir
ial service in the Methodist churches
for the late Jonathan p. Dolliver. on
Sunday. but inquiry among clergymen
OF that denomination developed the
Tact that they did not hold special me-
mortal service in this city yesterday.
The circular came from Fort Dodge,
the home of the late senator and also
of the Dolliyer Memorial Association
and it is stated tina, other churches
were not consulted before the an
nouncement was made of the memorial
service. II is apparently unofficial.
The general sentiment locally, concern
ing the project, seems to be that while
every person in the state is ready to
give all honor to the dead statesman,
the custom of having memorial SER
vices in churches is sometimes carried
to extremes.
Churches to Worship God.
Reference could be made in sermons
to the many good qualities of Senator
Deliver but sentiment. not only in this
city. but thru the state generally.
seems TO incline TO the FEELING that the
churches are erected fo- the worship
of God and not for the purpose Of
heaping praise. however much deeerv-
ed. on humanity.
Great Regard For Late Senator.
In all places there have been moth
ing but expressions OF the highest re-
gard for the character and attainment
of the deceased senator, but the
thought is voiced that this regard
ought to be expressed from some place
other than the pulpit on the Lords
day. The memorial association 10 ar
ranging to start = campaign for con-
tributions for q memorial TO be erected
for the senator and 1t was planned that
the memorial Sunday should give
fresh impetus to this work.
Services wees held for Senator Dol
liver generally thruour the state at the
time of his death and local sentiment
seems TO be that the church should BE-
slow to take further official notice of
the matter.
