The Lack of Interest In Religion" was
the subject of the sermon delivered by Ilov.
John Williams at Trinity * cathedral ycMcr-
day morning. . .
In reviewing the progress ot the last decade -
ado Father Williams slid It nccmcd strange
that religion should not Interest people as
It did In the olden time. Stupendous en
gineering feats and mammoth business pro
jects are chronicled dally by the newspapers ,
yet for no particular reason very lltllo la
heard of the advance In religious subjects.
All around the cry of pastors Is heard that
their congregations are being depleted , yet
cvcrj thing In the way ot spreading thu
great truths of religion has been brought
homo to the people. The speaker laid njrcvs
upon the statement that the great blot upon
the civilization of the day Is unquestionably
lack of religious enthusiasm. As to the
reasons for the existence ot such a tondu'.on
Father Williams says there arc many factors
which tend to this end. First , the age In
a. very fast ono. Duslness men are entirely
absorbed In their dally pursuits. The de-
mnnda upon the Intellect nowadays require
a too constant application. The world Is
fast approaching that condition of ovcr-
clvlllzatlon which foretold the fall of Home.
J'eoplo do not have time to recognize the
existence gt a God and consequently they
lese Hack of the very existence of their own
Boulfl nml of Iho fuluifc life for which they
should prepare them. Again , among people
of the social world the obligations of re
ligion are passed by In frivolity The KB-
called upper classes arc too thoroughly Im
mersed In belt and the gratification of per-
renal vanities. Many ot both the social
and business clawcs attend church , but If
their motives for so doing are closely
scanned It will easily bo seen that the so-
called worship Is merely done for the pur-
pofio of keeping up good form.
The church as over tihould bo upheld O'v
the one great farter In spreading the word
ot God nml ns a means toward bringing the
people to a knowledge of ttio responsibilities
of life. The church should show the blindness -
ness of the policy of leading a life devoted
only to the collecting of wealth , seeking ol
pleasure or laudation of self. It should
show by constant precept and example In the
llvis of Its ministers that only those who
are truly pure In spirit could enjoy the frulU
of God's love , even upon this earth ; . that
wealth gained through a lifetime's arduous
labors has only been accumulated to b ( >
parted with at the grave.
Father Williams said that oftentimes
there nro churches none the less sincere
than their congregations , jot the work ot
the truly good , bo they church or congre
gation , is sure to come to the surface In
the end. As the jeirs rolled by It Is too
Badly evident that the greatest ot all holi
days Is not kept by the majority of people In
honor of the vast sufferings of Christ , but
has como to bo more regarded aa a pretext
for the distribution of presents between
fi lends and relatives. Life affords but a
ehort existence nt best ; death comes llko the
sunning out ot a candle , and he who in the
fullness of health falls to prepare hlmsolt
for the bettor llto to come la wasting \alu.

SKHVICI3 UVI O GOD.
Hector iVValK HlMt-oiirsoH ou ( lie llul >
of All ClirlHllntiN.
For the first tlmo In some weeks the con
gregation of the Church of the Good Shep
herd ( episcopal ) occupied Its church edifice
for dlvlno worship jcatcrday morning. The
cdlfieo has been undergoing a process ol
Improvement and renovation , which Is now
noailng completion. This has ibeen so far
c-jmplolcd that the church has been occu
pied again and jratcrday morning's services
iwcro commemorative of the l-eopcning.
Slnco the building was closed the congre
gation has been meeting In the crypt.
The chinch has been much improved. II
has ibccn enlarged by the building of a
transept , giving room Ma number ot povvs.
The walls and celling have been fitted up
with handsome wood and have been le-
palnted. 'llio furnishings have also been 10-
Jiowed. To conform with this step In advancement -
vancement the \ested choir has ( been reor
ganized undr.T George W. Holbrook and has
7iow a feminine auxiliary. All of this prog
ress conspired to call together a iblg congre
gation at the reopening services.
The loctdr , Rev. nil \\-anl 'vvalk , spoke upon
"Christian Service ana How to Itender It. "
In commencing his discourse he spoke briefly
of the. good of giving thanks to the Creator
and praising Him , but the tolggest part of
his sermon was devoted to pointing out
how this serv Ice should 'bo rendered , as
lie asserted that It would not bo pleasing
to God unless It was done in the right spirit
and as a result of a r'"oper motive.
In the first place the minister Insisted
that In prniso , thanksgiving , prajcr and
ovcrylhlng else undertaken for God r''epara- '
tlon should bo made. The prepared business
man Is the successful ono and Hector Walk
maintained that a nun should bo as anxious
and careful In his offurlngs to God as ho
ID to plcaso his employer. Ho should bo
posscssol of the right moods and feelings
and impulses and aspirations of the soul to
conform with the law of dlvlno woishlp.
Ho should -bo on tlmo , oven though ho
hhould bo compelled to rise before day
light In midwinter. Ho should bo tune In
tune from previous private < lovotlon , med
itation and prayer , ro that ho may catch
the spirit ot iho service 'before It Is half
over. Ho must not depend on the spiritual
warmth ami 11 ro of others , but must con
tribute his duo share , for the unsympathetic
fiplilt will produce discord In a hundred
others ,
Again the preacher maintained that ono
( mould render service to God with breadth
of thought. He must not bo satisfied with
n shallow and surface devotion. His Chris
tian work and service must ibe real , deep
nnd 'thorough. Then , too , ho must bo en
tirely absorbed In the service. The preacher
eald'that ' some care only for the ramie , others
for only the piaycrs , still others for the ser
mon only , but he stated that this Is partial
and licking In spiritual symmetry. All the
faculties should bo employed and every
jwrt ot the service should receive , earnest
attention ,
In conclusion the preacher Insisted that

Itev. Matthew II. Lowrlo of the faculty of
the 1're.ibytcrlan Theological seminary oc
cupied tlio pulpit ot tlio rirst Presbyterian
church yesterday morning. Ho preached 10
n largo congregation , every ecat on the main
floor being filled. Before the sermon ol
the morning flvo new members were received
Into the fellowship of the church.
Tlio ordinance of the Lord's surper was ob
served at tlio morning service , and the ser
mon was In reference to tint sacramental
occasion. It was based on the text found In
Luke xxll , 19 , reading : "This do In remem
brance ot Me. " In the Introductlca to his
discourse the prcochcr recalled the scene In
the upper room at Jerusalem , where the
dt6ctcs ! met with Jceus at the first com-
munlcn , though they did not at that time
realize tbe far-reacliUig results or that act.
In tlio course of the sermon Kov. Dr.
Lourlo said : "In the text wo find a divine
command. Ono of the most striking features
of It Is the unhcrsallty of the command , yet
there arc ninny who neglect to obey thlg com
mand of Christ. There are some professing
Christians who shrink from what they call
unnorttiy commiuilon , forgetting that not to
commune at all Is moat unworthy. Obedience
to Qod'v commandment Is the first qualifica
tion of all.
"What Is It the Savior tells us to do ? It
Is to remember Him. Ho would have gs
always keep In mind our relations to Him.
The gift of God , our own salvation , Is en the
belief that wo should have died but that
Christ Jesus took our place and bore our
sins. Therefore , let us ever l.avo In inlnd
our relations to Him.
"Wo are to remember Jesus Christ In n
particular way. Ho took bread , blessed It
broke It and slid : 'Thla Is My body. ' ant
then , blessing the wlno , Ho said : 'This Is
My blood that was shed for the remission
of your sins. ' This iioly ordinance l .
Hymhol to remind us of our iol.itIons to
God. A symbol U a material object to nug
gest something of uimpcakablo value tha
is Immaterial.
"Wo must not forget the Idea of partlcl
patlon , the Idea ot miking God our nun
Wo can rejotco that wo have Him with us
and have with us our fellow Christian's '
There Is a tlo that binds. The communion
Is not only with Him , but with these who
sit with us and with those who have gone
to sit down at the feast of tlio Inmb. Jrsua
Christ Is nlttajs present to the humble child
of God. The fact that we do not understand
the full significance of communion makes ,
no difference In the tttltio wo receive from
the sacrament. It Is the same with those
of long Christian cxperlenco nnd thosi * who
are babes In Christ Jcaus the value o
participation in the Lord's supper Is alike
to all the children of the Klug. "

"Has the pursuit of money nwdo jou forge
your God , jour wife , jour children during
the last jear ? Have you given moro time to
your business than you have given to jour
Gcd , your home , jour country ? What par
of your means have jou expended for youi
God and for jour fellow men ? "
Thcro were anicng "Some Leading Ques-
tlors" Rov. T. J. Jlackay propounded to the
men of his congregation at All Saints
church jestcrday morning. lie seemed to ho
of the opinion , too , ithnt the consciences of
his male hearers would compel them to
answer the queries In affirmative , for his
sermon was a warning to them against be
coming entirely engrossed In the pursuit after
the almighty dollar during the coming jcar
A man's occupation , ho said , Is noble or Ig
noble In accordance with the alms which
prompt him to pursue It. If he is seeking to
crush out cowardice and evil from the world
ho Is In a noble business. If , on the crther
bind , he Is engaged In his occupation for
the sole purpose of amassing wealth , he li
following the moJt ignoble pursuit In life
And e en If his motives In the-search after
wealth are honorable there Is a lurking
danger still In the fact that he Is apt to at
tach too much Importance to the possession
of money
"In" money alone there Ifl no power , " saK
the preacher , "Strip the rich man of his
nilllionc ; talio from the hack of the poor man
hia lags. Strip both of o\erjthing down to
their eoul. You will flnd that the only rca
difference between them Is in ( their charac
ters. "
Ir ) Mackay asserted ! n the way business
Is being conducted in these da s men'a con
sciences arc- becoming sillied. They go Into
business with high alme. but soon their high
mor.il aspirations aio drowned In the mat !
desire for wealth. They forget God , homo
and family In this pursuit.
"They talk of religion , " ho continued , "but
the best test of religion Is the business man's
dally life In his office and at lib homo Then-
Is too much of the principle prevailing today
that you are doing the devil's business. You
ought to be doling God's business , and jou
ought to taUo God Into partnership. Your
occupations should become your servant and
not jour master. "
Dr. Mackay also asked some "pointed
questions" regarding the moral life ot the
male members of his congregation during the
last year. Ho warned them against being
controlled by their passions and appetites In
the 'future ' and urged them to try to get out
of life all th.at Is ennobling aiU elevating.

Hrilr tlio I/UMt Sermon.
Not for Gomo tlmo has there been a scene
In any church In Oiralia to compare with
that at St. Peter's Catholic church last eve
ning , whnn the closing services of an eight-
day mission were held. All the servlcea cf
the mission have been remarkably well at
tended , from 1,500 to 2,000 persons being In
attendance at the various meetings , but < the
congregation last night was someth'ng won
derful , It completely filled the largo audi
torium , it overflowed Into the spacious tcstl'
hulo , nnd even the broad stalrwnjs were
crowded with kneeling worshipers. The at-
tpndaneo at last night's seivlco was esti
mated nt 2,500 , and from the tlmo It took
the Mrgo attendance to pass out of the
church that docs not seem to bo too high a
figure for the number of worshipers thcio.
The sermon of the evening was preached
by rather Godfrey of the Order of the
I'roclous Hlood , a visiting priest from the
east , who has been conducting the mission
In a most earnest and apparently ( successful
n.unnor. Ho was assisted In the service by
Fathers 1'aul , Itagllsh and McNamara. The
Beimon was a most thoughtful and convincing
discourse , pointing out the weak points In
the religious life today and showing the best
means > for strengthening cno In tlie.se weak
places. A special musical program was
tendered under the direction of Organ 1.31
Piovo , and Included a number of well rend
ered solos and choruses.

There Is , perhaps , no department of th
exposition which Is eo Important , especially
during the wrly stagM of the enterprise
as the Department of Publicity anJ I'romo
lion. Upon Uio cffectlvtocso of 'this depart
mcnt depends , In a largo measure , the mag
nltudo ot the exposition , A very brief out
line of the work of the department In the
promotion line was given by Manager Hose
water ot the regular monthly meeting o
the iDcurd of Directors.
Ho said ho had not hod time to prepare
u written report of the work of promotion
but ho summarized the work In acry few
words , stating that at least thirty-five of the
states of the union will take < aa official par
In the exposition nnd bo represented by
t'Irtto exhibits , as well us by Individual ex
hlbtts made by the manufacturing Interest
ot these states. Foreign governments arc
manifesting an official Interest In the expo
trltlon and several of them are making prep
aratloim to taku part in the affair. The
republic of Mexico will bo ofilclally repre
sentcd , the Chinese government has glvci
olllclat notice that It will be well represented
tbo governments of several ot the states o
South ) America have signified their Intcntloi
of taking official part In the enterprise. Can
ada Is now making preparations to erect a
government bulldkig and Install therein a
collective exhibit , Ungland will take part li
Its uaual semi-official manner through th
Uoird of Trade , which is a government liibtl
tutlon. The \arlous ccusuls of the United
States all over the world nro actively at woik
and nearly all have expressed t'helr deter
mlnatloh to do all In their power to Intcrcs
thu mercantile ) bodies of tile cities In whlcl
tucy uio stationed.
IN THU EAST AXD SOUTH.
Of the states outside of the transmlssls
slppl region , there are few which will not be
officially represented at the exposition ; no
by commercial exhibits alone , but thes
states will take official part In the affai
through their official representatives. Hx
position commissions have been appointed
In IlIinMs , Wisconsin , Xew Jersey , Wes
Virginia , Florida aild Georgia , and the gov
ernors ot Massachusetts , Hhodo Island , Now
York , Pennsylvania , Maryland and Ken
tucky are pledged to appoint commission
v.-lthin a short time. Alabama Is preparing
to make a state exhibit through Its State
Board of Agriculture ; Tennessee's official
are co-operating with private interests to
prepare for state representation and partlcl
patlon ; energetic work Is being done it
Michigan , and Indiana and Olilo arc to be
aroused to official action In the near future
These states ore all outside of the trans
mlsslsslppl region and the action which ha
been taken by them and by the foreign gov
ornmcnts referred to has not been accom
pllshcdwithout energetic and sjstematlc
work on the part cf the Department of 1'ub
llclty and Promotion.
While this work has been going on out
slJe of the transmlbslssippl region the
states within that territory have not been
left to themselves. It has been no cas >
task to convince those statc-3 that their bes
Interests would bo subserved by partielpat
Ing In the exposition. In many ot them the
legislatures failed to appreciate the importance
portanco of the affair and either failed or
refused to make appropriations to enable
the state to take official part. Public splrl
has been aroused In nearly all of them , however
over , and In those which have no appropila
tlon strenuous efforts are being made to
secure by private subscriptions sufficlen
money to enable'the state to collect and In
stall a state exhibit and , in some cases , to
erect a state building. At this time there
are but three of these states or territories
In which there seems no probability estate
state icprcsentatlon ; these nro Alaska
Arizona and Oklahoma. Arka.isasOregon
and Washington have been very apathetic ii
the matter , but the citizens of those com
monwealths are manifesting an eleventh
hour Interest which may result In ofllcia
action. Private Interests In each of these
states will be icpicsented at all events.
WOHK OF THE PRESS BUREAU.
In addltlea to the work done bj the pro
motion contingent of the department , the
public Interest has been awakened 'through '
the energetic efforts of the Press buicai
which has kept the exposition before the
people la every community by means of the
publicity gained through the newspapers am
publications of the highest class.
A report to the board of directors of the
exposition which was Hid before that bodj
at Its meeting Mst week , covered In a brief
and concise manner the work of this bureau
during the piet jc-ir. The report was almail
entirely statistical and showed the amounl
of advertising which the exposition has sc-
cuied during the past jcar through the news
papers and other publlcntlccis ot the countr >
through the efforts of this department. This
report showcj that the Press bureau sent out
during the jear (50,000 ( news letters to news ,
papers and other publications , and the re
turns received Indicate 'that acry largo
proportion of this matter appeared In the
papers to which It was sent. Comparison
with other expositions shows that the amounl
of frco advertising thua obtained for the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition is far In excess
of that given other enterprises of this nntuie.
Ono paiagraph In the report ta as follows :
As to the aggregate amount of gratuitous
rewspapci advertising which has been ob
tained for the exposition during the last
twelve months nq exnct estimate cm bo
f&rmed. It can be afely said , however , that
the msultM havn Indeed proven fcatHfaetory.
The press In every state nnd territory of the.
union , printed in English nnd for
eign tongues , has given much vnl-
uable reading spare constantly In promoting
meting thp success of the great
exposition. To obtain copies ot every
public itlon containing friendly mention and
nitleles descriptive of the exposition since
the Department of Publicity was ) ln > t en-
t.ibllshi'd Imw been nn Impossibility. Not
onlv this , but an army of people would bo
required to bundle HO voluminous u collection
of printed matter. '
THOUSANDS OF COLUMNS.
The report Includes n table showing the
number of words of printed matter relating
to the exposition which f.ave appeared In
the newspapers , magazines cad pcrlodlcils
of the United States during the past jear.
This shows that 1,801,375 words have thus
appealed. This Immense amount of free ad-
vortlslng Is equal to 3,7-10 columns of The
Dee and by tlile mcctis the news pf the ex
position has been carried to the remotest
: crners of the United States. Similar results
iavo been attained In soveial foreign coun
ties , Germany , especially , laving been cx-
reincly liberal In this reject , duo to the
efforts of the Gorman bureau of tuo dcpart-
ncnt. The most Impartant nowspsoors and
lorloillcals ot German-speaking countries
uvo printed scores of columns of matter
elating to the exposition and the iamo Is
rue to a lesser extent of the papers of
"inncn and other European countries ,
In nddillco to this newspaper advertising
ho press bureau has scattered broadcast
over the entire country pair ( > hcts ) and pic
tures showing the main exposition bulldlngx ,
About 200,000 pleccn of advertising matter
lave been distributed In a judicious manner.
Comparison with other expositions shows
that the amount of advertising se
cured , Ici proportion to the expense Incurred
jy the department , has not been equaled In
any farmer expedition.
In this connection a ictnirk made by a
prominent official of tlio Nashville oxccsltloa
: arly In the summer , when that affair was
n full blast , speaks volumes. He Bald ; "If
our exposition had been as thoroughly ad-
ortlsed when wo opened as the Transmls-
( Us'ppl ' Imposition Is now , oar attendance
would have bccnjloybled , " ,

"South Dakota will be well represented a
the TransmlssUslppI and International Uxpo
sltlcn. The IlMck Hills country will make
one of the brat mineral dlsplajs to be eccn
at the exposition , and the agriculture
products from the cast fllde ot the river wll
bo second to no agricultural display to be
seen hero * next jcar. " This Is what Hou
Andrew K. Lee , governor of South Dakota
said to a reporter of The Uco last evening.
Governor Leo came into the city on Sat
urday night as the advance guard of a dele
gallon of representatives of South Dakota
who \\lll mako.a thorough Inspection ot the
groundo and > the buildings of the exposition
during the next few dnjs In order that they
may go back to their state and arouse greato
Interest In the great show of next year. The
other gentlemen who are expected from Soul ]
Dakota today to Investigate the progress so
far made with the exposition are : W. L
Gardner of Hapld City , C. A. Davis of Dead
wood , Hans Murphy of Elk Point and C. A
Jewett ot Sioux Kails.
In an Interview Governor Lee said. "Yea
sir , South Dakota Is going to be creditably
represented at the exposition. I have no
been about the grounds jet , but went pao
there today. It seemed to mo that the build
Ing wore being pushed right along. On Mon
day the rest of the representatives ot the
state will bo hero , and will make a thorougl
Inspection dining the next couple of dajs
With our rich mineral resources , our \aluible
agricultural and dairy products I think we
shall bo able to make quite a showing. A
great deal depends upon the assistance WL
receive from the rallroids. If they will all
us nil they should In tbc transportation o
exhibits and attendants our display will do
full justice to the state and be. a credit to
the exposition The past 5car has been a
fairly prosperous ono for the otato of Soutl
Dakota , ami wo are In good condition to
make a fine display. The wheat crop vvcs nose
so largo as had been anticipated , but I
proved to bo very valuable. It ylelJed on
the a\erago about eight btiahels. The grcates
advance has been made In cattle raising , am
the good prices obtained by our stockmen for
their cattle made that business \cry profit
able during the jear Just clcaeJ. The jloli
of corn was good , and the value of our Ualrj
products Increased considerably. "
Asked If he thought there would be mucl
of a movement out of the South Dakota
mining districts to Klondike dining the com
lag sprtag , Governor Leo said : "I do not
The reason Is plain to be seen. Without e\
posing themselves to the hardships of Alaska
without traveling a long way from home will
some chances of never returning alive , our
miners ha\e gold fields and other beds erich
rich minerals light at home. There Is going
to be a great revival In the mining Intcrcs'a
of South Dakota this spring. The prlnclpa
reason why gicater progie.is haa not been
trade heretofore Is that there has been lick
ing the necessary capital to work 'tho ' mines
Now that Is coming from the cast Ragged
Top and Lead City especially are bound to
be more prominent as mining centers. "
ON THE RAILROAD QUESTION .
"Governor Lee , do you anticipate any
trouble from the combination ot railroads
running through jour state , said to have
been formed last week In St. Paul ? "
"I do not. If these railroads are getting
together to fight adverse legislation or liti
gation , all I can say Is that they are bor
rowing trouble a lonw way off. There la no
disposition oa the part of the government
of South Dakota to attack the just rights
of th.o railroads of our state. I Know1 theie
is an awful hue and cry raised about t'iio
attack's ot the populists on corporations , but
so long as thecallroads treat us fairly ; wo arc
willing to do the same. All wo ask Is fair
play. We do not like to see them be
greedy , but If they will bo fair they will bo
met in the same spirit of fairness. Wo be
lieve the freight and the passenger latcs
in our state are altogether too high. When
It costs a shipper tw Ice as much to trans
port his goods between any two points In
the state as It does to ship through the
state to some outside point , I maintain that
there Is something unjust about the rates.
Yet , this Is the real condition of affairs In
our state today. On some classes of freight
a man can ship his goods to Chicago ns
cheaply as ho can between points within the
state. We think our demand for a reduc
tion In the rates Is , therefore , very fair.
The matter will come up for a hearing In
February. The members of the State
Board of Railroad Commissioners are now
collecting data to mnl > o a showing corro
borative of the facts of which I have just
spoken , and before the hearing convenes
next month they will have a collection of
facts and ( Ig'ircs tr-it will prove tlut tlio
shippers of South Dakota are discriminated
against by the railroads. But there will be
no great attack on the railroads by the
populists or mibody else In South Dakota
Ail wo aslc Is to be treated fairly , and bj
this we mean to a fair reduction In freight
and cas-sengcr rates. I think we s'lall get
the rcductlcns , If not from the railroads them
from the courts. "

qulto slushy , but this was In a measure
remedied toward evening , when It again
BttVted In to freeze. As a conscquenco
there was skating last night from 8 o'clock
until about 10 no. The toboggan slldo at
the cart end of the lagoon has become quite
n feature of the winter bporta and a great

times when the -weather permits.
