AT GRACE CATHEDRAL
Holy Communion and Patriotic Ser
vices Held This Morning.

At Grace cathedral, in addition to
Holy Communion service at 1880 a.
m. for members of the parish. espec-
tally those subject to registration,
there was at 1890 a. m. patriotic
service for the general public.
At this latter service addresses were
delivered by Bishop Wise and Dean
Kaye, and the hymns and prayers
used were of character especially
suited to the occasion.
The service began with the process
sional hymn-"Onward Christian Sol
diers'-sung by the choir and congre-
cation. That was followed by a re-
citaI of the Apostles Greed and by
United States and all in civil author
ity, for congress, for the army, and
for the navy. Next was sung the
hymn-"Our Fathers God, to Thee
to the tune of MY Country, 'Tis of
Thee"-and then came the addresses.
Bishop Wise talked on Christian pa
triotism. Explaining that true pa
triotism is not only a willingness to
defend, and an unreasoning love for,
ones country, but to so conduct ones
public and private life in peace and
in war that the country, thru the acts
for all that is best, noblest and most
uplifting for the human race
Dean Hayes address was based on
an utterance of the late Lord Roberts
so live and so fight in this war,
that your enemies will not only re-
spect you, but like you" 1t is not
thru revenge and a cruel conquering
spirit toward our enemies that war
will be abolished and race antaeo-
n1smS be overcome, but from abstain
ing from all cruelties and harshness
not inseparably connected with the
conduct of warfare, by a kindly and
chivalrous spirit towards our enemies
when they are in our power, and bv a
refusal to use untrue or exaggerated
statements about our enemies cruelty
in order to stir up resentment against
them.
The service ended with the grand
old battle hymn:
. Lord of Hosts Almighty King!
Behold the sacrifice we bring:
To every arm Thy strength irnpart:
Thy Spirit shed thru every heart.
