Tlic beautiful and Impressive ceremo
nies of the Elks' lodge of sorrow, held
in raemorj of the departed members of
St. Paul Lodge No. 59. 15. P. O. E., drew
an audience yesterday afternoon that fill
ed the Metropolitan opera house to its ut
most capacity. h. the foyer stood a
mammoth elk,emblematical of the order,
surrounded by potted plains. The stage
setting, which was very elaboate, dis
playetl a lodge room, while in the back
ground ams a forest scene with an elk
among palms, and on each side of
the stage were huge American flags. In
the center of the stag's wns an altar
draped with an American flag, on which
was an open Bible, and in the rear there
burned twenty-eight candles, one for
each member of the lodge who had died
since its inception.
Seated on the stage were the officers
of the lodge: E. H. Whitcomb, exalted
ruler; J. H. Mitchell Jr., esteemed lead
ing knight; J. P. Healy, esteemed loyal
Knight; A. G. Johnson, esteemed lectur
ing knight: A. E. WMtney, treasurer; W.
J. Tomkins, secretary; C. S. Bartram,
chaplain; Al G. Flournoy, esquire: A. P.
llendiiekson, inner guard, and C. B.
L'owlby, trustee.
The service opened with a selection
from Tobanl, "Hearts and Flowers," by
Seiberfs orchestra, and then Exalted
Ruler WhUcomb delivered the opening
address, lie said:
'•Brothers, this day and date remind
us tuat we again pay our mournful trib
ute of affection to our honored dead.
Often have wo been reminded in these
ceremonies that we are born to die, that
other spirits have taken their departure.
i'he light of the eyes has gone out, the
lips t!i:>i .nice breathed the language of
eternal greetings are silent forever.' Yet
these gatherings only serve to unite our
great brotherhood more closely together.
The animal from which our order de
rives its name is noted for its
and timidity. It is strong of limb.
fleet of foot and keen of perception. So
should we be. my brothers, always quick
to perceive the cry of distress, {imorous
of doing wrong, fleet of foot to aid the
unfortunate. The burial of our departed
brothers, the keeping alive and com
memoration of the virtues of those who
have fallen in life's battle is a duty
which devolves upon us as Elks Brother
Secretary, you will please call the roll
of our honored dead."
Ti;e secretary called the roll of the
dead, the names added during the last
year being Theodore E. Bost Jr., Charles
H. Finehotit, John G. Johnson, Charles
K. ''iaw. P. Y. Daly, Charles A. Pettin
gill.
REMINDED OF DEATH.
A i the ecincluslori of the' roll call the
exalted ruler said: "In vain wo call upon
you in the valley of the shadow of
death. The places that once knew you
know you -no more. Again' we are re
minded that in the midst ,>r life we are
in death."
The Pedple's church quartette, com
posed of Miss Celeste Coghlan, Mrs. (.'.
B. Yale, J. Warren Turner and Frank
Rosenthal, with C. G. Titcomb as ac
companist, sang "One Sweetly Solemn
Thought," and then came the impressive
and solemn opening ceremonies by the
officers in accordance with the ritual.
At the conclusion the audience sang the
opening ode.
Rev. Samuel G. Smith delivered the in
vocation, and I >ale's "Come L'nto Me"
was sung by a quintette composed of J. H
Donohue. E. J. Donohue, J. F. Gehan, j!
P. Christophe and Charles Morrow. Then
followed the memorial address by Hon.
Marcus D. Munn, who said in part:
MR. Ail'NX'S ADDRESS.
In journeying from'the rocky shores
Ol the Atlantic ...ast, where the'veice of
the sea is mingled with the murmur of the
pines, and PWig gfter the enchanted spot
is lost to view, there comes to one over
the silent hills the distant roar of the
sympathetic, restless sea, as it breaks
and rolls over those eternal rocks. One
involuntarily turns and listens; when
some voice or note from the great In
visible eh,,-,- of the past again touches
the key of a half forgotten sorrow, and
•s ma-t with the spray
from memory's wave breaking on the
shores of the heart. So on this me
morial day, in fulfillment of one of our

Into that dreamless sleep which ends in

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, MONDAY DECEMBER 4, 1899.
croiu: sands and dangerous shores,
whero seeming sirens tempt and fade;
streams that rise in unknown lands from
hidden springs, Btrange seas with ebb
and flow of tides, resistless billows urp
ed by storms of name, profound and aw
ful depths hidden by mists of dreams;
obscure and phantom realms where
vague and fearful things are half reveal
ed; jungles where passion's tiger.-; crouch;
and skies of cloud and blue, where fan
cies By with painted wings that dazzle
and mislead; that the poor sovereign of
this pictured world is led by old desires
and ancient hates, and pushed by hands
that long ago were dust, until he feels
lik.< skip.,, bewildered slave, that witch
ery lias throned and crowned." Recog
nizing this we strive by mutual converse
and help within and without our order,
as best we can, to fraternize mankind.
Once when walking In the national
cemetery, where a grateful nation has
dedicated to Us heroes dead a field of
beauty and rest, I saw seated near a
nun.ml, a woman. About her children
were playing among the autumn vines
that came "creeping like poems of r •■■!■. t
from the bosom of the earth." Near her
BtOOd a boy. tall and dark. As I passed
them, 1 heard him say: "Mother, what
\v:is slavery?" Then, as the autumn SUn
secmeS to sink into the western side of
that hallowed Held, that its rays might
illumine the "wlndowless palace of rest"
Of its silent occupants, 1 realized as n< ver
before the meaning of that word.
Our order, like many another, is but
the loom through the operation of which
ih(> necessary feelings and sentiments are
worked Into tiie warp and woof of truth*
that preserves and perpetuates that sacred
word for man. Believing that liberty is
safest with him who thinks rirst of his
friend before himself, we strive to make
the happiness of others our |oy. We be
lieve that he is greatest who has the best
heart, and no one has the right to be
happy at the cost of misery to another;
that he who is the support of the weak
and the helpless is the oak around which
twine the bittersweet and ivy of life,
which, when the days of youth are gone
will convert the leafless tree of life into
a verdant bower wherein the birds of ioy
and love will sins: their sweetest song's
as the light fades from the eve in the on
coming twilight of age.
We realize that all nature is but a
series of births and deaths, and that all
things live and die, save one, that they
or others may live again. The result of
a kindly act or deed lives on forever- its
joy knows not the pangs of d<\ith- its
season is ever spring time and from its
fertile soil new .ioys forever spring with
out the old passing Into the vale of
death \v e strive by helping hand or
>~ tr^>£f Iy..ea-h °£ her to (lrive from
the throbbing brain the fear of death.
When Mr. Munn concluded, the People's
church choir sang Barnbv's "Crossing the
Bar," and Rev. Samuel G. Smith said:
DR. SMITH'S ADDRESS.
We have met together, drawn by the
two most important facts in all" th%
world-death and love. The conflict be
tween death and love is the mighty duel
of the world. All that is best in this life
centers in the scene. Sometmes it seems
that death is victor. It is called the great
conqueror to which all men must at last
succumb. The universal victory of the
world is to love. It is because death is'
conquered by love that we have met to
gether this afternoon. We place a gar
land upon the memory of the deparicd
and say: "You are gone, but not forgot
ten, lhe growth of the social spirit to
day is due to the fact that men and
women today, as never before have
found out that about us and above Us
there reigns a God of J.ove. The social
spirit is net confined to the lodge room
or the ordinary occurrences of life. There
Is being born into the souls of nvn" i
new realization of the spirit world Those
who have gone from us are not dead bat '
gone for a little time.
Arthur Berg gave a violin solo, "Ro
mance." and then came the closing cere
monies by the officers. The quintette
sang Stern's "Eternal Rest," and the
service closed with the benediction pro
nounced by Dr. Smith.
LIQUOR AXD THE HOME.
Rev. Peter Clare Speaks Polntetft'y
on the Subject.
Rev. Peter Clare, pastor of the Ham
line M. E. church, spoke last evening on
"The Attack of the Liquor* Traffic on the
Home." The speaker pictured a home
and impressively declared that whatever
threatens this citadel of morality and
fountain of happiness menaces the life
of the nation and must die. When the
saloonkeeper's wife dresses better, said
the speaker, the wife of his customer
must usually get r.long with shabbier
clothing. He deprecated the attempt to
m'hlmize the importance of the relation
of the saloon to poverty, ;:iid said that
the overthrow of the saloon would put
money into the pockets of every tax
payer by greatly decreasing the cost of
pauperism and crime. "The saloon also,"
he said., "tramples upon marriage vows
and breaks women's hearts. What shall
we do with such a business 9 It is not
manly for us to turn it loose upon women
or to leave to them, who have not the
ballot, the work of overthrowing it. I.
for one, have resolved to preach, pray
and vote against It." The speaker com
mended the million-vote movement in
augurated by the Chr"stian young people
of the land and gave notice that sig
natures would soon be called for to the
iigreement to vote in 1900 for the can
didates of no party except one committed
to the destruction of the saloon. VVhen
a million signatures have been secnr •!.
it is proposed to go before the national
conventions of the several parties and
ask such a plank.

OX THE RESCIE WORK.
Evangelist Crittenton Will A«lijj-..ss
City Pastors This Afternoon.
Evangelist Crittenton will deliver an
address before the clergymen of St. Paul
.at the Y. M. C. A. assembly hall this aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock. The subject of his
talk will be along the lines of rescue
work, in which it is sought to interest j
the pastors of St. Paul.
Mr. Crittenton travels in a private car,
"Good News.' built for evangelistic
work, containing an audience chamber,
private rooms and a culinary department.
There is also a library and a private of
fice. Accompanying Air. Crittenton are
Mr. and Mis. Joseph Moffat. of Los An
geles, CaL, where Mr. Moffat was a busi
ness man until he took up Mr. Crltten
ton's work of rescuing fallen women. He
attends to the schedule and all business
arrangements of the tours. Mrs. Moffat
possesses a sweet soprano voice and adds
much to the popularity of the meetings
by her singing.
t'ntil the death of his wife, Mr. Crit
tenton was a wholesale druggist in New
York (i!v. and today he is a typical busi
ness man, with no signs of his ministerial
calling. He dresses in a gray business
suit, ;;;id were it not for the Bible on his
. an interview with him would sug
g< st the private office in some wholesale
concei ii.
Since he began the rescue work, eigh
teen years ago, fifty-two homes have
been established. One of the most flour
ishing is in Tokio, Japan.
Mr. Crittenton considers that in taking
up the work of rescuing fallen women
he has touched the most vital spot in tie
social life, and his enthusiasm in his
work is unbounded.

SERMON BY THE ARCHBISHOP
He Tells a I.nrsre <"«"Kres:jition at
«lio Cathedral Wlmt True Relig
ion CnwUm of—Will Not Open the
<Jatex of Heaven to Re Able to
Say '•! w^h a Child in God's
(. Imreli."
Archbishop Ireland delivered a sermon
at the Cathedra-} yesterday morning, his
theme being "True Religion, Interior
Sanctineaiiun." He said:
"The niyut is far spent and the day is
at hand. Get us therefore cast off the
works of darkness and put on the armor
of light. * * • p u t ye on the Lord Jesus
Cnrisi. T-Words of St. Paul as read on
the hrst Sunday in Advent.
In the language of St. Paul the night
IS our life upon, earth, amidst trials, van
ities and v.Un pleasures; and the day is
eternity. I.\>r ttte night is passing. Every
hour sti.-rteiis the time- which is allotted
to us on earth; The day Is coming; let
us prepare for It, casting off the works
of darkness, putting on the armor of
light. And put yo on the Lord Jesus
Christ."
Now the words of St. Paul suggest the
question: What is it for each one of us
to be a Christian? What is Christian
ity in each one of us? This is an impor
tant, a vital question, to which answer
must be given. Brethren, to be a Chris
v an is to have put on the Lord Jesus
Christ, to have made our souls into the
likeness of Christ Jesus. Christ came
trom heaven bringing with Him the life
or heaven to be our model, so that in
copying in our own His life we live the
lire of heaven. The theory of Christianity
is this, that we are destined for a God
r- * life tnrouSh eternity. Children of*
God, we find our destiny only in our
4>a>V er 3 nouso- Sprung from the power
of God's omnipotent word we are to re
turn to the source of our being there to
enjoy, in a life becoming our origin, hap
piness for ail eternity. Life upon earth
is a preparation for the life in heaven.
Thero is no other meaning to this life.
Therefore, we should, so far as it is
possible, live upon earth the life of heav
en, transforming ourselves into the image
of Christ, so that when the signal comes
to leave earth we be not found unrtt for
the life of heaven. If we appear at the
portals of heaven unfit for life within,
logically and necessarily, as well as by
the command of God's own righteousness
we are doomed to remain outside thos>
portals.
PURPOSE OF CHRIST'S COMING.
This is the purpose of Christ's coming
upon earth, to sanctity and purify our
souls, to transform them into beings fit
for heaven. This is the aim of the whole
Christian religion, and to be sanctified
and so transtormed is for each of us
Christianity. If the Church of Christ
reigned never so much as ciuec-n and sov
ereign of earth, If people and monarchs
bowed never so much before her, and she
did not save souis, her onward march is
all in vain. Whatever she is, whatever I
she does, is but a means to an end; and
the end is our sanctiiication. "For this
| is the will of God; your sanetification."
In paganism of old religion, so called,
was separable from morals; the worship :
of the gods stood, so to speak, by itself.
Men conceived the idea that their deities '
sought houUjrs from men for the sake
of those hcrtipts, and that if sacrifices I
were duly offered their anger was ap- !
peased, and their smiles were sent down
upon their worshipers. Not so in the
religion of the true God; not so in the
religion of Christ. And right here we
perceive the God-like nature of that re
ligion—its sublime purity and elevation.
'In Christianuy religion is ..essentially
il. It demands and leads to the
santirkation of men, and unless men' ap
proach their God with pure souls, unless
in worshiping J Jim they seek' to trans
form themselves even into the image of
Him, their sacrifices offend instead of
pleasing Him. What cares the Omnipo- i
tent for mere ."outward sacrifices, for i
mere words ol' the lips of men? Is not
the universe Jlis? Wliat are men if we
consider but their power to do favor to |
the Omnipotent but as so many grains |
of sand on,the seashore? When God con
descends to acpept worship" from us it is
through iove for us,' that we thereby be
elevated and .-aue'tilied even into images
of His own eternal righteousness. That
the Christian religion means our sancti
ficatlort Is made most clear in the words
of Christ and His apostles. "Not every
one that saitli to me Lord shall
enter into the kingdom or" heaven: but
he who doth the will of my Father who
is in heaven: he shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven."
This is the solemn declaration of the
Master of life and death. And on the
last Judgment the verdict of guilty or
not guilty will be passed upon the ac
tions of the individual, upon the moral
life of the individual. St. Paul tells
what Christianity is for each of us.
"For you are buried together with him
in haptism with Christ into de*th;
that as Christ is risen from the
dead by the glory of the Father so
we may also walk in newness of life."
You are disciples of Christ. As He died
so you also die—die to sin, die to moral
SVii; and as Christ rose from the grave,
so you being baptized come forth from
' the death of iniquity into a new life, the
life of Christ.
"And they that Christ's have cruci
fied their tlesh with the vices and the
concupiscences." Until vices and con
cupiscences in us are dead the crucifixion
of Christ upon Calvary is of no avail
to us. Such is the very essence of the
Christian religion. It is for each one of
us to ask ourselves whether we are or
are not Christians; whether we have or
have not put on the Lord Jesus Christ.
ORDINANCES MEANS TO AN END.
I am not, understand me well, under
valuing external forms, or external or
dinances. These have their supreme
value as leading to and aiding our sancti- I
fi cat ion; they are commanded by al
mighty God; the forgetfulness of them
would Indicate a lack of obedience to
almighty God. nnd consequently a lack '
of morai rectitude in our souls." What I j
am insisting upon is this, that external
ordinances, or external forms, are means I
to an end, and that unless so used as to
b3 means they are not used as God
wills; and rniless the end which they j
are destined to subserve is carried out in
each one of us they have been of no
profit to us. The ichurch of Christ was !

more; we shall be all the more guilty for
having been members of His church if
our souls were not sanctified through it
I1 or we had the responsibility of honor

so. we dishonored both church and
C nr. s t. We are obliged to assist at muss
every Sunday. To remain away is Por
<;• 11 ulness of the honor we owe God and
of our duty to appropriate to ourselves
Hit? means of salvation. But remember
that to come simply to mass, observe
the movements of the priest on the al
tar and hearken to the words spoken
irom the pulpit without uniting ourselves
intimately with the divine victim of the
altar, without taking deeply into our
souls the words of truth we hear, with
out realizing as the effect <>f union with
Christ an Increase in love and faith, pu
rity and Increase of sanctity in our souls,
is not serving God as God desires to be
served. The sacraments of the church
are established that tho glares merited
by Christ on Calvary flow as through
sacred channels even into our souls. The
purpose of the sacraments is to wash
sin from the soul, and to pour into it the
life of Christ. But unless we be regener
ated by them, they have been instituted
in vain for us. To receive the sacra
ments without the inner change of the
soul, which is a condition for the wor
thy reception of them, is only profana
tion of them. If while receiving the sac
raments from time to time we show In
our daily walk that we are still sons
ot earth, clamoring only for things of
earth, thirsting only for the joys of
earth, the sacraments have brought us
no profit, and the life of Christ has nol
been infused into our souls. And all this
is equally to be ?aid of tho practices in
tho church not obligatory upon us as is
the hearing- of mass, or the receiving of
tiie sacraments. I am speaking of the
sacramentala of the church. The church
commends to us the use of sacramentals
— blest water, images of Christ and of
His saints, medals and scapulars. These
things have a beautiful purpose—to put in
our minds, through the eyes and oars of
the body, thoughts of Christ and of His
saints, thoughts of spiritual cleanliness
of soul. But to think that such prac
tices, or the use of such external arti
cles of devotion will be of real profit to
us unless we change our hearts and
souls, is a delusion-most fatal. To think
that we can by outward act or outward
profession, or the use of material ob
jeeta. however sacred, save our souls,
without the serious effort of the soul to
transform itself intS a likeness with
Christ, is fatal error.
END IS OUR SANCTIFICATION.
What is needed is our sanctiiication, the
eftort of the soul to transform itself into
another Christ. On the last day the
scrutinizing eye of the judge will peer
into the souls of men to see how far
it can discover in them the image of
God, and on the existence of that image
in the soul will depend its vocation to
eternal happiness in heaven. Therefore,
brethren, let us work and work sedulous
ly to be Christians; Christians as Christ
wishes us to be. Let us, in the words
of the epistle of this day, cast off the
works of darkness—drunkenness, impur
ity, contention, jealously putting on the
Lord Jesus Christ.
"If we live in the spirit, let us walk
also in the spirit." "But the fruit of the
spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience,
j benignity, goodness, longanimity, mild
ness, faith, modesty, continency, chas
tity."
Oh, let us so be on our guard that the
dust of foul earth does not stain our
j souls, that the seeds of moral death.
With which the atmosphere of the world
is charged, find in them no resting place
| Let us be on our guard against sin; and
j then let us do all the good we can. For
I we are called by God not only to avoid
sin, but to grow every day in justice.
Observe the ideal proposed to us by
Crod. 'Be ye perfect as my heavenly
father himself is perfect." The noble
vocation of Christians, to be called by
the incarnate Son of God to rise even
unto the perfection of the infinite! Oh
the privilege to be allowed to aspire to
an imitation of God's own perfection!
Oh, God, we praise Thee for the vocation
that is given to us. Miserable indeed we
were if hearing the call of heaven we
<!o not instantly respond. Yes, oh Lord
! I will aspire to live of Thy life. I will
labor while on earth to please Thee to
serve Thee, so that when the day of
eternity now so rapidly approaching will
aawn, I will be ready in purity and inno
c?n™ s of my soul to cross the threshold
of Ihine own heavenly abode.

WISDOM OF SOLOMON
BOOK OF E€CLEiSIASTES DISCUS
SED BY PROF. RICHARD MOIL
TON AT PARK CHURCH
PHILOSOPHY GOOD AND TRUE
That Was the Breath of iiie Book,
Rather Than the Regrets of a
Misspent Life—lt Was aSi inly of
Motive* and of Results Viewed
l>y the Rest Though i of the
King.
Prof. Richard G. Moulton delivered his
second lecture at the Park Congrega
tional church last evening before a large
gathering. He discussed in detail "the
book of Ecclesiastcs, treating the sub
ject of Solomon's dissertation upon the
ft ail ties and vanities of life to a very
severe analysis.
It mattered little, the speaker asserted,
whether Ecclesiastes was written by
Solomon or someone else. Job was not
a book by Job, but a book about Job, and
the same was true of Esther, Samuel and
many other books of the Old Testament.
In fact, he thought, the question of au
thorship oftentimes disturbed literary
study. It was not unusual for historians
to put philosophy into the mouths of
historical personages. Socrates did not
say what Plato said he said, but Plato
simply clothed the philosophy in his own
language, thus indicating that he was a
fcliower of Socrates. Many time 3 Biblical
and historical characters were made to
speak in the first person in tho books
written about them.
Prof. Moulton discussed the prologue
and epilogue, and divided tho book of
Ecclesiastes into five essays, which he
analyzed separately.
The first essay was the keynote of all
vanity, Prof. Moulton said. Solomon had
heen withheld nothing by the divine hand.
His every desire was provided for, yet
above all things he exalted wisdom, and
even in the end he declared all and this,
too, vanity of vanities. He tried labor
that would more modernly be called en
terprise.' Yet he despised it, seeing that
hy must leave it to his successor, and
who knoweth z wise man or a fool!
"This is also vanity," he declared. Then
he tried to appreciate no one thing, but
enjoy to the fullest extent the passing
of the days and what they brought. But
in this he found no better succ ;ss. As
supplementary to this, the speaker said
that the power to appreciate life day by
day was something sent direct from
above. The part of the book discussed
as the second essay was termed by the
speaker the "Philosophy of Time and Sea
sons." No one thing was superior, but all
things have their time and place in the
field of wisdom. Passing to the third
essay he. paraded it under the head of
"Vanity of Desire." Solomon had a desire
for knowledge, yet he was unable to ap
preciate it. The essay^dwelt on tho
other departures made by Solomon in the
reach of full appreciation of life.
In the fifth and last essay, Solomon
gives the conclusion of the whole matter
•in "Fear God and keep his command
ments." Truly life is sweet, it is Dl*»*»«»*n*
for man to behold the sun. ana nis ad
monition. "Rejoice, young man, in the
strength of your youth," was not the
advice of a worn-oul debauche,
man who had been g!v n from i
that mortal mar could desire.
rted :ha I Soli mi n did not
mi a n I he - of the r< the
:- •i>!';'!'\ - who

of thy youth." The essay c
with a somber illustration < ■•' the
of lire, the grave. *'!>usl thou art," etc.
But mbols were Illuminated
made b autiful through a prop
pi i lation.
"In those fiv<> essays," concluded Prof.
Moulton, "Solomon fails to find anything
in the universe. It all vanity,
and vanity of vanities. Prom this i* is
seen that the power to enter Into the
ures of your lab . tol lie in
Individual, but Is a gift direct from
■Hi sk pi; kground

"Then are people who wish this hook
was not In the Bible. The reason men
do not find pleasure in life is because
they believe ;n a universe bounded only
by death."
