Last Sad Rites Over Remains
of Secretary Gresiiam.
PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
President and Entire Cabinet Will
Accompany Funeral Train to Chi
cago-Messages of Condolence,
Associated Press.
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.

inson. 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.

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.
