Washington, May 23. The president to day Issued the following proclamation: "Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of stat of the United States, is dea& The presi dent in making this distressing announce. merit to his fellow countrymen, speaks from the depths of personal afllloUon, to remind them Chat they, too, have lost a pure and able public servant, a wise and patriotic guardian of all their rights and interests, a manly and loyal Amerncan, and a generous and lovable man. As a suitable sxpresslon of national bereave' mentv I direct that the diplomatic repre sentatives of the United Statg in all for eign countries display the flag over their embassies and legations at half-mast for ten days; that for a like period the flags of the United States be displayed at half mast at all forts and military posts and at naval stations and on alt vessels of the United States. I farther order that on the day of the funeral, the executive departments In the- city of Washington be closed, and that on all public buildings throughout the United States the nation al flag bs displayed at half mast. (Signed) Grover Cleveland." " Secretary Greshom's will be the third funeral service in thu cabinet circle held in the White House in recent years. The first was the services for the wife and daughter of Secretary of the Navy Tracy, of Harrison's cabinet, who met a tragic deaeh by Jumping from the windows of their house on 1 street. Mjs. Harrison requested that the bodies of the secreta ry's doad should be taken to the execu tive mansion, and this was done. Uefore the end of the administration Airs. Har rison herself died in the White House and prayers for the dead were read in the Eaut room. No member of Presi dent Cleveland's -first cabinet died In office. General Ruger will command oil the military forces stationed about (he cap ital which will act as escort, for the fu neral party from the White House to tihe depot where a special train will be in readiness to convey the party to Chicago. While the details, of the ceremony in Chicago are incomplete, it Is said thit brief services will be held Thursday after noon at the cemetery to which the body will be borne accompanied by a military escort in harmony with the day and Sec retary Gresham's well-known loyalty to his old-time war oompaatons. The body will be placed temporarily In a vaurt In, Dakwood cemetery pending the d.clslon by the family regarding its final resting 'place. . The president and entire cabinet Will accompany the remains to Chicago. While It Is at present the Intention to follow the precedent regarding mourning as in the Wlndom case, there must be one Important departure, and that is the omission of all signs of mourning with which the great executive department buildlngs'were draped for 80 days. In-, ttie legislative, executive and Judicial appro priation act approved March 3, 1893, con gress provided; "That hereafter no building owned or used for public purposes by the govern ment of the Untied States shall be draped In mourning and no uurt of the public funds shall be used for such purpose." GRESHAM'S SUCCESSOR. Washington, May 28. There is consid erable speculation by politicians and oth ers outside of the administration as to the successor to Secretary Gresham.

All the predictions are, however, speculative, as the subject has not, been mentioned, much lets discussed, by any president or any one In his confidence. MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE. Washington, May 28.

SENSATIONALISM IN RELIGION Is Not the Idea of the Church of, God. , Lat .Sumtny morning those who braved'-the storm, and there were many, and attended, Grace Church, were given a scjund practical dlscourseby the rector, -the Rev.! Mr.' Short, Ho chose as a text the -passage from the 62d verse of the 2tth' chapter' f Luks, "And they wor shipped, him and returned to Jerusalem with 1 great , Joy," v The speaker sain in effect: , There, are two ways of being a christian,' one the method which seeks to get all the good possible out of Chris tianity! for eelf,-the obher that principle which alms to give all the good possible to others and worships the Almighty, tha giver of all'rood. .' It has become much the fashion, not only in largo cities, but all over the coun try to seekthait which Is sensational In religion. , People go to church to hear a popular speaker In the hope of being stirred up and aroused for the time be-lng-to absorb for their own benefit. Those who 'strive for this one side of religion alone will surely miss the grand est side of Christianity. The church- was not primarily built for the receiving alone of good to ourselves, but for the purpose of giving God the glory. Many people go to churdh to be pleased, and failing tn ehfcey soon tine of the effort and fall back on their own Ideas of life, and God. All are In danger of this on side of re ligion. On the other hftnd, if one has the book of prayer at hand,, he need not bo in his great danger so much, If he will only use the gift the church has put away for him. This church might burn, but this prayer book, these scriptures and sacra ments will ntand forever to His glory. The Idea of the church to the christian Is to perpetuate through all ages the glory of the church. , It Is not possible for us to grasp this Idea as we should t commend it to your study. ' ' Don't come to church with the Idea of receiving all and never opening your lips to praise God. Learn that the idea of the church Is not to hear a gifted ora tor, to listen to a powerful prayer or sen- atlonal music, but toe worship the Most 'llgh and His dory. Never be swallow ed up by .the idea that we are to get all we are not to get, but to give. "It is nore blessed to give than to receive." , Next Sunday being. Whitsuntide, there vlll be special services. The day wllf also be the anniversary of the consecra tion of the church and the collection will be devoted to reducing the church- debt.
