SERVICES WERE
 WELL ATTENDED
Two Interesting Sermons Preach ed in Congregational Church
 Yesterday

The services were well attend cd yesterday, the pastor deliver ing inspiring addresses both morning and evening. His text in the morning was: II will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon" ."--lloSra Xiv:5. The preacher gave the outline of lIn- seas life and the history of the evil lime in which he lived, cnn- Srqurnt on the sin and idOlalry of the people. God had spoke of IS- | rarl as His bride, hut she had His servant. Hosea, lu plead will her tu return and He would for give her and receive her again and lavish on her every gift. He would be in her what the dew was IO naiurr-copiouS. refreshing, iu- rigoraiing and as a result she would grow in purity and beauty as the lily. The eastern lily was | purity. IL always turned it's face To the sun, but dropped it's head as d sign of humility. So un- der tn" influence of the Holy Spir- il Gods people would grow in beauty and humility. Lebanon was q mnunlain range running north and south through PalrS- tine anu was covered with great cedar forests. These giant trees had great roots which gripprd the mountain and sustained them against the great hurricanes and storms incidental to a hot cOun- try. Israel would grow strong iu rcSiStS evil and L1 conquer their OpponrnIs; so lIKcwisc with Gods people today. Under the influ- cncc and power of His spirit they would grow strong in the best principles and to resent trnIpta- ton and subduc evil.
 Al nighI his text was: "Th> word is q lamp unto my feet and d light unio my path. ."--PSl. cXiX fO5. He remarked that man : i life was a journey beSrt by many bywayS that lead asLray. II Was a Nntag" over d trInprSiOuS ocean with rocks, reefs. and rugged coasts. How ncrdflU then IO hay, a light to guide inc way. As God had placed in inc heavens thr orI tor day tO give light and nature absorbed fine Suprrabundancr of flight, which it gave forth by the scientific inventions of man which we call lampS--thc domestic lamp Which draws for the sunlight from the oil and illuIninatrs the blight IS drawn as vapor from the crystal coal, and the electric lamp which libcratcS the current of sunlight in dazzling whiteness He spoke or the gigantic light houses on the rocky shore; the powerful searchlight on the mast head, etc., as illustrations of God the source of all light and knowl- edge, nevealing Himself in His iword. The Bible was lamp, guiding man in travels through life, the warning light on the rocks, albe seaEehlight that pen etrates and reveals dangers or enemies; the cheering and help fui light in the dark places of anxiety ard perpiexity.
 He ended his discourse by a touching picture of the Christian coming down into the dark, chilly valley of death. With the sooth- ing light and hope revealed in Gods word, fllumining the valley which becomes only the shadow of death. The orchestra was a great assistance to the harmony of the singing.

school boy who has been dismissed
from the school room he left the
chamber with tagging steps. stopping
only to grasp outstretched hands or
sympathetic friends. Three quarters
Of an hour later his successful rival

took the oath OF office.
The case throughout the seven hours
Of debate was bitterly fought on both
sides. Representative Anderson OF
Minnesota, Republican, who conduct

Missouri law prohibited an expendl
ture Of more than sG62. Other charges
Of fraud were made, all OF which Mr.
Catlin denied knowledge OF. He alsc

liberal response should be given to
the appeal for funds of the committee
charged with the duty of providing ap-
propriate entertainment for the delegates
to the International Congress of Hygiene
and Demography. which is to meet In this
city in few days. Thus far the re-
sponses have been slow. owing doubtless
to the fact that in many cases the citizens
who ordinarily discharge this RESPONSE
bility are out of the city on vacations.
However, it may not be doubted that a
sufficient amount will be contributed to
insure an adequate handling of the con-
vention from the local point of view. This
will be one of the most important scien-
tifc gatherings ever held in Washington

show to the representatives of various

them to bear an affectionate remem-
brance of the American capital Wash

All present indications are that the ne

cal point worry shortly. Apparently

demands are not granted. show no indica-
tion of willingness TO accept any compro-
mise, while the railroad companies will
not accede anything that is satisfactory

20 be incumbent upon both sides to ac-
cept an arbitration. certain TO save
money to both of them in any outcme.
A strike is sure to be heavily expensive

The only possible chance the men have
OF coming out of such contest whole is

Mr.. Roosevelt Should Tell.

Now that Mr. Roosevelt has begun his
lorfg Journey and is getting into his stride.
he ought to take the country into his
confidence about his neglect while Presf-
dent of the tariff question. Why did he
give ii no favorable attention? Who were
his advisers on the subject? Why, during
The whole seven and a half years of his
occupancy of the White House. with Con-
gress republican in both branches, did
he withhold recommendation for lower
custom house taxes?
The country expected action. and he
promised action Upon taking office Mr.
Roosevelt declared for the Mckinley
policies. and revision of the Dingley law
was the last OF Mr. McKinley's pro-
nouncements. But Congress heard no
word from Mr.. Roosevelt on the subject
At one time he meditated a recommended
ton. He had had the matter under con-
sideration and had come to the conclusion
that something should be done. Just what
remains his secret. and that of his ad-
visers. for lie Immediately changed his
mind and the matter was dropped.
II may he said that Mr.. Roosevelt
had many other things in hand. He did.
and some of them were important. and
some were we'll handled. lie was Dusy
all the time he held the rens.
But the tariff might. and should. have
preceded all else. Had he made it. as
Mr. Mckinley would have done. the main
subject OF the message of December 1901.
new tariff law would have been on the
books before midsummer of the next year.
and the subject settled for years to come.
Why did he pass the tariff by?
Mr. Roosevelt is not tue sole custodian
of this information. 1t must be known
to others. Not improbably former Sem
ator AIdrich is fully advised on the mat
ter. and n safe guess is that Mr. Cannon
could enlighten the public. Both were at
that time -.isitors at the White House.
and in Mr.. Roosevelt's confidence. and
both were standpatters of the most un-
movable school.
But their mouths may be closed by
the conditions surrounding their posses
sion of the information. They may not
feel at liberty to divulge what came to
them in such fashion. So that Mr.. Roose-
Welt is the proper person to speak. and
he should do so at once. He has just
twitted Mr.. Wilson about not having done
anything on the trust question during
his two years in Office Governor of
New Jersey. Why was he idle about the
tariff question for seven years while
