Sermon by Bishop Candler
Though
Ing
the weather was threaten-
the dedication exercises of the
First Methodist church yesterday
drew together a congregation which
completely filled the large auditorium
many having come In from the col-
lege on the interurban and from the
country in carriages. It Is worthy of
remark that the ushers handled the
Ituatlon admirably and everybody was
world was sick and the doctors were
charlatans who knew practically noth-
ing of the science or the art of heal-
ing. Jesus healed all who appealed to
blm but this was not his mission.
The wonderful development or medical
science and Improvement of sanitary
conditions Is another of the achieve-
ments of Christianity.
The Jews in the time of Jesus were

anny but it was not this that so
wrung the heart of the Savior. The
despotism of the Roman pro-consuls
and of the renegade Herods the most
da3tardly and depraved rulers the
world has ever known were strongly
delineated. When Jesus came the
heart of the nation thrilled with hope
because they thought he had come to
deliver them from this physical bond-
age and re-establish the glorious em-
nlre of David and Solomon. When

service exceptionally excellent. But
the focal point of Interest was of
purse the dedication sermon by
'hop Warren A Candler who Is by
i. any regarded as the strongest
J leacher in tho Southern Methodist
Jirch. Un this occasion nobody was
slon they rejected him. The mistake
people wake now is In expecting a
clrange of parties or of officers to
bring good government.
"Yotir house Is left unto you deso-
late." What house? It was the temple
In Jerusalem from which the she-
kinah the glow In the holy of bolie
only being the sublimity of eloquence
itself but brought also a benediction
of rest and peace Into the hearts and
souls of all who heard It.
Ills theme was "The'Real Home"
and was based on the first verse of the
Ninetieth Psalm: "I.ord thou has been
our dwelling placeln all generations."
iThls psalm is a song of Moses said
the bishop coming from the heart of
a lonely and solitary man who had
never known the Joys of home yet in
the twilight of hij life there burst
from his heart this grand anthem
giving to the world the full meaning
of the real home.
The picture of the life of Moses as
given by the speaker was grand and
at the age of eighty we find him an
old and homeless man watching the
flocks on the slopes of the Midlan
hills. While here the call came to
him to lead the'ehildren of Israel out
of Egypt' and the remaining forty
years of bis i life were spent in the
.wilderness a homeless wanderer mis
'judged and misunderstood by his own
people. And so we find blm in the
twllght of life after long years of
lonliness and homelessness after all
ho ever loved had left him his soul
broke forth In this great song "Lord
thou hast been bur dwelling place in
all generations."
Here the bishop gave a beautiful
description of what is meant by the
word home and declared the home in-
stinct to be the strongest passion in
every human heart. The word home
brought back precious memories to
every heart and though they may
have been humble though fraught
with hardihips and poverty how we
would love if It were possible to
break through tho long intervening
years and lie down In them to rest
once more.
The home is a place of security.
President Taft and the king of Eng-
land have great power. By a word
thoy can people the seas with battle-
ships they can put Into action hun-
dreds of thousands of soldiers yet
neither of them can go to the door of
the humblest home In England or
America without first knocking and so-

to teach the chosen pople their com-

life; It was the place where Go's met
his people when they came on their

son's "Simulacrum of the Gospel"
which does not even mention thi3
most distinctive and wonderful of all
tho degenerate Jews had desecrated it
by using it as if place for extortion.
Jpsus said they had made it a den of
thieves. It was covetousness which
led tlnni into the practice of the vices
that excited the wrath of Jsus and
the characteristics of the Savior. The the sam cause often causes Chris-
antithesis between the chr-ractcr o' tians to become dishonest. If nouns

will civo vou rest." No mere man
ever could have uttered such thoughts
yet no critic has had the audacity to
'MV that they are not in perfect liar-
owner within. This security Ib a pillar
of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by
night standing guard over every
home. Vet with all this they can not
be made perfectly secure. Our chil-
dren early leave m and soon we are
scattered and sifted through all the
earth. Death makes its inroads and
the home is left bleak and desolate.
The Ideal home is an iridescent
dream; it can not be made on this
earth.
Then what is the explanation of
these conflicting passions the strong
instinct for a perfect home and its
impossibility. It means Just what It
meant to Mo3es when he cried out in
his loneliness we must abide in the
Lord. If we would sustain ourselves
in life's disappointments if we would
avoid a bitter old age we must find a
home iu God.
. The bishop then briefly addressed
himself to two Classes. First to the
young adjuring them to find God. If
they would fortify themselves against
the life shocks that can not be avoid-
ed then steady themselvej with that i
support that will never give way.
To the old his admonition was to
comfort themselves In God. If any
were unsaved If they were weary
homeless wanderers on the face of tho
earth strangers to the Savior's love
nnd mercy then reach up their poor
trembling withered hands and lay
hold on the everlasting arm of God.
At the conclusion of the service
many wetit forward and met the dis-
tinguished divine.

Pekln Oct. 31. The terror which

ther revealed today by a long list of
edicts supplementing yesterday's re-
markable proclamation and offerings
further concessions of the most rad-
ical character. Today's edicts indicate
that even though tho dynaity sur-
vives Manchu rule is at an end. The
transfer of cabinet offices to native
Chinese Is ordered and the throne
swears that "hereafter tho Manchun
and Chinese shall be regarded equal-

Manchu pensions is to be discon
tinued.
The edicts are written in the first
person as coming from the infant em-
peror. . .
The revolutionists are not im-
pressed by tho edicts. They declare

Pittsburg Pa. Oct. 31. This Is
President Taft's busy day. Pittsburg
is crowded with visitors attracted by
the triple events ot the steamboat cen

presence of the president of the

various pageants and demonstrations
connected with the Joint celebration

guest of honor at the annual dinner

One Important! change has been
made in the banquet program. The
committee in charge had arranged for
a blue blaze3 effect when the coffee
is served. At that moment all the
eleetrlc lamps in the dining hall were
to be turned off and burning brandy
flaming weirdly atop hundreds of
demi-tasses was to supply the only
light.
"Nunno!" said the president's secret

the scheme.
"Gents" said the sleuths kindly but
firmly "the electric lighta must be on
full blast throughout the dinner. The
president must not be left in the dark.
No one can raise hades even in Pitts-
