In a score or more 01 tho leading churches of Washington, yesterday, services were held commemorating tho fleam of the late -President McKinley from the assassin's bullet one year ago. It Is iot Improbable that as a result of the general Interest manifested, an ef fort may be made to have September 14 set apart as it national day of prayer. Itev. Dr. B..stol, the late President's pastor, made this suggestion n his ad Cress yesterday morning. In nearly every Instance the congre gations were lar?e. and the music espe cially appropriate to the occasion, in cluding as a rule the late President's favorite hymns, "Nearer, Jly God, to Thee" and "'Lead Kindly Light," In the Catholic churches the order of Cardinal Gibbons that there should be services commemorating the day. was observed. Secretary Wilson and Secretary Hitchcock, two members of President McKir-lcy's Cabinet, and Secretary Cor tolyou attended the service at the Met ropolitan iL E. Church, whero Presi dent McKinley worshiped for live years. Laurel on Memorial Tablet The altar was draped -with the nation al colors, and on the marble tablet, recently erected In the north end of the church to tho memory of the martyred leader, was placed a laurel wreath and an American flag. The church .was crowded to the doors, and many were compelled to stand in the ante-rooms. Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson occupied the pew of Sena tor .Fairbanks, the fourth from the front in the central part of the church. The seat "which, .had formerly been President .McKinley's, .was vacant. Dr. -Bristol preached an eloquent and thoughtful sermon, choosing his text from Proverbs x:7, "The memory of -the Just is blessed." Secretary "Wilson, at the close of the sermon, to which he had listened attentively, paid the divine a high compliment In the course of a cas ual conversation, saying It was one of the best sermons which he had ever lad the privilege of listening to. Then he added: "I ofteji promised President McKinley that I would visit his church during his lifetime, but 1 never did so. I am sorry that I never found the opportu nity to come here before." Dr. Bristol's Sermon. Dr. Eristol said in part: "It hardly seems possible that a year has gone by since the most universally loved President this nation ever had was stricken down. The wound inflicted upon the American heart was so sudden and so deep, and the pain of the people's sorrow was so intense, .that the country scarcely realizes that a twelvemonth has passed since the good, great Presi dent met his martyrdom. The people refuse to be comforted. Xot all the national nlory, not all the material prosperity, not all the bright hopes of our political and commercial future have succeeded In diverting us. Tho nation is still in Mourning. And it will be Ions before this saddened and sorrfy chastened people will be able to say to the God of Nations 'Thou hast turned for 310 my nio"rnins to dancing; thou hast put off my back cloth and girded me with gladness." Suggests Setting Day Apart. "Well may the people assemble this day in the churches of our land and inaugurate an annual memorial of tho deati of William McKlnluy. In the olden time, when the Just, amiable, patriotic, and righteous Jodah fell in battle the prophet Jeremiah lamented for Joslah, and all the singing men and singing -women spoke of JoMah in their lam entations and made them an ordinance in Israel. Shall not annual memorial rcrvices for William McKinley be made an ordlnanco lu America?" Dr. Bristol then said that the pco- plo bow tneir ncarts to the dispensa tion of Providence although the kill ing of the President was rather a dis pensation of diabolical cruelty and learn the great lesson of brave faith and loving submission. Ho continued as follows: "Not for one hour have the people forgotten the pure, the good, the Just, tho chivalrous Christian man; the pa triotic, bioad-minded, ideal President the magnificent American, William Mc Kinley. We garland. his namo with memory's most br-uutiful tributes of gratitude and praise, of honor and love. Wc rejoice In his fame as we gloried In his deeds. And In our song and prayer, wo "worship, with renewed faith, that divine Providcnre. who raises the master spirits sent to guide our na tional destinies, and to lead us in the -way of liberty and peace, and who natli willed, by tho dictates of his unerring Justice, tunc "me righteous shall be bad ia everlasting remembrance. The more ideals. v have the better. The more Just and great the leader we have to fellow, to emulate, and to boast of, the safer aro our liberties, and the surer will be our footing up the dilueult steeps , of national prosperity." Dr. Bristol said that great men indi cate the direction of a nation's moral name of William McKinley will be hail ed as that of the foremost champion of universal peace." ' TRIBUTE IS PAID BY A PIBSOML HtlEND the influence of his Christian life upon the time In which he lived. Dr. Smith concluded as follows: "The bravest knight in olden time af ter the battle would doff his armor and show the softer side of his nature; its sweetness and Its grace. And It was so with our late President, Not only did ho immeasurably strengthen the State; he sanctified the home in its manifold relationships and tender tins. I pity the man who. has not a home. 1 abhor the man who does not appreciate u, anu try to mauc it better. Then let us live not for ourselves, but for oth ers; not for today nor tomorrow, but for eternity." M'KINLEY ORDAINED OF HEAVEN TO BE A JOSHUA Led People to Enter Upon Glorious Ca reer of Usefulness, Says Rev. VI. J. Hutchinson. Sermon of Dr. L M. Kuhns Formerty of Canton, O. Preaches of Martyred President Waugh Methodist Church Met McKinley in 1869. at Touching and ennobling incidents in the career of William McKinley were related in a sermon by an intimate friend of the late President in the anni versary memorial services at Waugh Methodist Church, A and Third Streets northeast, yesterday morning. The ser mon was by the Rev. L. M. Kuhns, D. D., a venerable Lutheran minister, formerly pastor of the Lutheran Church in Can ton, Ohio, but now a resident of this city. Dr. Kuhns became acquainted with Major McKinley in 1SC9, and he had known Mrs. McKinley for eight years before that time. The friendship re mained firm' through the busy careers of both men. Dr. Kuhns has on several occasions since the death of the Presi dent paid feeling public tributes to his memory. Dr. Kuhns based his sermon on tho passage, "What mean ye by this serv ice? He said: "When special services such as these are held there must bo something back of them; some cndurlnc feeling and. lasting consideration. In the case of William McKinley, everyone is conversant with the fact that in his public life he never deviated from" the highest principles; that he In no degree violated the teachings of his earlier years. There must be something behind a great man to give significance to his life. There is a great deal in heredity, and in this case there is no doubt of Its force. Our martyred President had a good mother, and to her he owed much. This he always recognized, and the re sult was a most beautiful and useful life. His Unequaled Devotion. ''A good son will make a good hus band," said the venerable minister. "This was the secret of the happy life of tho late President. With his thor ough devotion he allowed nothing to in terfere. His devotion to his mother and his wife wc have reason to know was complete. Such a man can hardly go wrong. His genial life among his per sonal friends, of whom I counted my self one, was genuine and charming." In closing. Dr. Kuhns dwelt on the cruelty and horror of the taking off of the President. "Believing in the abso lute power of God in the world, wo aro prone to ask why did God take away the iota ui ADranam Lincoln, James A. Garfield, and William McKlnlev whnn ihey were so much needed, when so much depended on them? In the case oi tho first two there may have been snmo fancied excuse for tho acts of the assas sin, hut there was none in tho last sad Instance." Tho minister quoted with deep feeling the poem "Sometime," expressing the mea mat sometime the myslerv would be dispelled. The closing idea of the sermon was further Impressed on the minds of the large number of people present by the beautiful solo of Miss M. Alice Mayd well, daughter of Itev. George E. Mayd well, pastor of the church. The solo was "Some Day We'll Understand." Mr. Wiley Davis rendered with fine t'f fect tho famous hymn, "Lead, Kindly; Light," made dear to the American neo- ple by tho preference of President Mc- Rev. W. J. Hutchinson, pastor of tho Westminster Memorial Presbyterian Church, and a citizen of Ohio, spoke at the First Presbyterian Church last night on the life and character of the late President McKinley. Ho used as a basis the Scriptural passage, "He be ing dead, yet speaketh." He pointed out tho strong features in tho late Pres ident's character, presenting them as voices from tho grave In argument for pure living and patriotic action. "The life of William McKinley," ho said, "was an epoch in the history of this country, yhlle the United States had him for Its Magistrate, this nation, under -the guidance of Providence, be came a world power. He, whom God chose to be the foremost citizen of the- Republic, was ordained of heaven to bo' a Joshua, to lead this people into a broader, better, more glorious career of usefulness and power than the most ardent patriot had dared to dream. "His patriotism, courage, fidelity, his beautiful home life and pure manhood were an apt inspiration to this country, and they speak out to us from the tomb even more powerfully than if the body were still alive In tho world. One of tho sad confessions of history is that a great many great men are misunder stood, underrated, and abused while liv ing." The speaker denied that high charac ter, unselfish devotion to country and private honor were Incompatible with an active part in politics. He cited the characteristics of McKinley, the prac tices and fruits of his life, to prove his contention and to emphasize the im portance of a high standard of public and private duty. McKinley's character and works are with us perpetually, and wc are glad to regard him as speaking, though he Is silent. In introducing Mr. Hutchinson, Dr. Donald McLcod, pastor of the church, said: "The observance of memorial customs Is one of tho first and best Instincts. When God finished his great work of creation he appointed a day of rest to be kept during all time. The Israelites kept tho Feast of the Passover in co'm- memoratlon of the sparing of their first born, and In all sacred and profane his tory we find that 'the signal events In the careers of all peoples hav6 been celebrated on days of observance. The same spirit of remembrance per- vader tho church and secular circles. It Is appropriate that on this sad anni versary the American people should pause to consider the memory of one of the greatest of statesmen, one of the best and kindest of men, a patriot, a friend, and husband of the highest type." by all classes without distinction of creed, race, or political affiliation. The memorial services hold at St. Pat rick's Church suggested the memory of the dreadful event which filled tho na tion with horror one year ago. Tho Rev. Father Dolan, who preached a highly eloquent and impressive sermon, said, In part: "We were a grief-stricken people, and our manifestations of sorrow were, lieyond controversy, sincere. And yet it Is not rash to sny that for tho most part tho murder of President McKinley has lost Its place in the memory of men. and that the national lesson taught by that crime is still unlearned and unheeded. "It is unquestionably true that his assassination was the logical result of tho free circulation of lawless ideas the free organization of irresponsible, but most dangerous, rebels against all authority anarcmsts. Public Sounded Warning. "It is likewise unquestiomtbly true that In all the public expressions con cerning the death of Mr. McKinley there was the note of warning against Inflam matory literature, against the unbridled license allowed to anarchists co-ordinating, and thus accumulating to themselves power and influence. Call after call was issued for legislation which would ef fectively stamp out this menace to na tional life; yet with the waning of th" memory of McKinley's death, has waned this noble enthusiasm. "The serious consideration of these things mystifies tho mind. It would seem that as a people we are not suffi ciently serious. The real explanation perhaps of this state of affairs is that in tho man rush for purely material con siderations, which so characterizes us as a nation, wo become oblivious to prin ciples of unspeakable; magnitude. Wo do not despise them, and when our atten tion Is forcibly arrested, wo look upon them seriously, as "wns the case last year. "The cultivation of a proper public spirit, the proper development In the minds of citizens of n sense of civic responsibility, the purification of politics by the honest use of the ballot those are the remedies for our diseased condi tion anu the securities against such national disasters as tho inuVdcr of Pres ident McKinleyf ' At the close of the mass, the choir of St. Patrick's Church, under the direction of Prof. Aimand Gumprccht, rendered the favorite hymn of the dead President, "Lead, Kindly Light." governors and Commissioners, people all over this country hnve assembled In a service to commemorate the death of President McKinley. NcVcr shall I for get last night a year agot The senso of mystery, of tragedy the sense of na tional change, of world-wide sympathy were with us that night. And into those feelings came the message that made strong men break down and weep. There were no stage-born thrills and shudders that went over tho crowd that night. It was deathly reality. 'Good-by, all; good by. It Is God's way. His will be done," came the message, and men who had not felt the impulse of prayer prayed then. "The life of William McKinley is a beautiful exposition of our text. How ever much they may differ from him In policy, I bellcvo that most men will agree that he was a pure-minded, sin cere, honcrt. lovable Christian gentle man. Ho was one of the doers of tho weed not a hearer only. "I can draw no lesson from his life If you cannot draw one yourself. His motto was to live bravely, purely, honestly every day live to pray 'Thy will bo done,' and to execute that will." AT SECOND CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST Mr, Norwood's Eulogy on Life of McKinley.

MARGARET'S CHURCH Eloquent Sermon by Dr. Herbert Scott Smith on McKinley's Noble Life. The first anniversary of the death of William McKinley was fittingly observ ed at St. Margaret's Church, Bancroft Place and Connecticut Avenue north west. Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, D. D., the pastor of the church, preached aii eloquent memorial sermon from the text, "His, leaf shall not wither." Psalms Hi:l. Ho said in part: "One year ago our hearts were bleed ing as we stod by the bier of Presi dent McKinley. A life .it tho highest point of its usefulness and efficiency and that life the head of tho great na tion had .suddenly been struck down, and as a peoplo we were appalled. livery eye was wet wun tears; every heart heavy with woe. Gone while standing at his post; gone while doing his duty as a citizen, a leader, a pa triot, in simple devotion to his coun try's best interests; with eye singly to her development and upliftment." After summinc up tho manifold vir tues and excellencies of tho martyred President's character, and dwelling on 3y Protestants, Catholics, and all other denominations was the late Presi dent McKinley esteemed and beloved. Not only the natural born American citi zen entertained the highest regard for his Integrity, honesty, and many en dowments of virtue, but also the natu ralized American citizen was always zealous to show tho admiration and high respect which ho entertained for tho dead Chief Magistrate. In keeping with public sentiment, Car dinal Gibbons, bishop of tho Baltimore diocese, last Friday issued the follow ing circular letter to the clergy of the archdiocese: "Xe.-t Sunday, September 11, nlll bo the first anniversary nf the sudden and untimely death of President William McKinley. We all well remember how the nation was bowed down with sor row by tho sad and unloolicd for event. It is eminently proper that wc should in some appropriate manner renew our affection for the late Chief Executive of the nation and emphasize our ab horrenco of his assassination. "You are, therefore, Invited on next Sunday to commemorate tho occasion in the way which. In your Judgment, Is best calculated to testify our admira tion for tho civic virtues which adorned the life of our late President." All Catholics Mourn. Following the instructions of Cardi nal Gibbons every Catholic church un der his jurisdiction commemorated' yes terday tho anniversary of tho death of President McKinley, and the manifesta tions of love for the departed Chief Magistrate at yesterday's service brought vividly to mind those sincere and deeply folt demonstrations of sym pathy and borrow which were every day xicurroncir whilo President McKinley was lying on his bed of suffering mid death in the Pan-American exhibition city. The sermons preached at yesterday's services again breathed that air of love. Eympathy, and esteem In which the memory of Piesldent McKinley Is held One of the largest congregations of the year attended the morning service at the Church of Our Father yesterday to participate In the memorial service for the late President McKinley. The -ermon was preached by the pastor, Itev. John Van Schaick, jr., who se lected his text from the Lord's Prayer. It was "Thy will be done." "Associated with these old, familiar words' 'said- the p"rcacher, "are tedder memories of home and childhood. Bound up with them are precious traditions of nineteen centuries of church history. There is a scene which these words al ways bring before us that of the day when Jesus was on the Mount preaching that wonderful sermon. There Is beauty In tltfs picture as it has come down to us beauty in the Gallilcan hills or. which he, stood and the Gallllean sci. vhlc'i stretched away In silvery dis tances. There was beauty In tho les sons which ho taught, but that which shone the brightest was, as the fathers called it, this 'pearl of prayers.' People Generally Assemble. "We have need today, as a people, for words like these. We have come to gether on a very sad anniversary. To day, In obedience to tho proclamation of "The life work and character ofWIl Ham McKinley," said the Rev. Forre3t J. Prettyman, at the memorial services held at Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South, yesterday, "should ever be an inspiration and guiding example to the American peoplo. It Is meet that a memorial to him should be raised in the Capital of the Nation. In fact, I would favor a triple memorial arch, representing- his military, civil and Chris linn careers. We may not be able to emulate his military or civil 4lte, but we can all strive to follow his exampls in his Christian home life." "Render Unto Cae3ar."' The church was crowded to almost Us full seating capacity. Tho pastor read the twenty-second chapter of Matthew as the Scripture lesson for the day. The text for the discourse was tho twenty-second verse of this chapter: "Render therefore unto Ceasar the things which ire Ceasar's and unto God the things which are God's." A particularly touching feature of the service was the singing of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and "Lead, Kindly Light," the two hymns of which Mr. McKinley was especially fond. Both were sung .with much feeling by the choir and the congregation. "The text Is the answer of Christ to the question, '13 it lawful to pay tribute to Ceasar!' The answer," the Rev. Dr. Prettyman said. "Is important when con sidered In reference to all questions civil and political. Christ asked his ques tioners to show him a piece of tribute money. A penny was shown, and it bore the image of Ceasar upon it. And the Master said, therefore, render It unto Ceasar. -- '"It must riot be understood from thi3 that the belongings of God are only a little left over from Ceasar's share. For God never gavo up sway and control over all. All our institutions, he said. arc built upon and In his authority, and his kingdom. The church and state are separate and great, but Christianity Is greater than all political and religious Institutions. But when the nation and the church build together on tho great Christian spirit, then they are really 'great indeed. This great nation of ours became grand because It was guided and guarded by Christian manhood and wo manhood." In conclusion the speaker told of his first hearing of the news of the assassi nation of President McKinley. He was just entcrlrg Southampton, England. There tho flags were flying at halt mast, showing the existence of the brother hood of nations among a Christian peo ple, all of whom mourned the taking off of a brother. of our former President. It Is espe cially appropriate in the Nation's Capi tal, whero he was so well known and beloved by all. It is but paying p. Just tributo of respect to the memory of a singularly pure-minded Christian states man. His Patience and Humility.' "A patience that was lasting under all difficulties; a humility that shamed the cheek of pride; an undying faith, and an unquenchable love that put to flight Xhe armies of the heats of mallceand envy the rramo and reputation of William McKinley will stand associated with that of the Father of H!b Country, Wash ington, and the one who saved the Union, Lincoln. ' Lives Because He Reflects. "Our dear brother is not dead. He has but gone Into another room in the Father's house the house made without hands; a larger,e brighter room, better furnished, where he is working out the problem of Being, and he now knows. more than he ever knew on earth, that no form of matter has any power to take the life of a child of God. He lives, be cause he reflects, or expresses, the ltfe principle, and his Ufa Is hidden with Christ in God, safe in the understanding of divine good indestructible and eter nal. "Let us also think In tender love and compassion of his lone widow, sitting In silent grief, that she may know the separation Is only to the senses, and the One Comforter which leadeth Into all truth, may so uplift her thought that divine love will wipe her tears away. God bless us, that we may emulate his virtues, eschew all frailties of the hu- man concept, and so at last meet In the One Mind, the Father's house, harmony, Heaven."
