GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH SER-
' ‘ VICES.
Drs. C. S. Macfarland and George D.
Egbert Speak.
Last evening witnessed the rcuoi
tioti of the fifth program iii the pastor‘s
fifth anniversary at. (trace linptlsl
Church. It being “Citizen's Night."
the speeches were pertinent to the
occasion.
iir. Charles S. Macfat'laud. pastor of
the South Norwnlk Congregational
Church. and Dr. George I). Egbert. pas
tor of the First Congregational Church.
Norwallt..delivered two splendid ad
dresses on “Good Citizenship" and
"t‘ivic Righteousness." respectivt‘ly.
Iloth addresses were replete ‘witl;
friendly warnings. hetpiul suggestions
aitd hopeful exhortations.
To attempt a comment on these atl-
dresses Would be simply robbing them
of their magnificence aitd power. ()1in
those can best. appreciate who heard
the words as they ‘fell like nuggets of
gold from the lips of those two chaur
pious of righteousness. .\'orwalk
churches may well feel proud with
such types of Christian manhood in
their pulpits.
The church was represented by C. D.
Lloyd. a trustee. who spoke in glowing
terms of the wonderful progress made
along all lilies, during the present
pastorate. He told of the. loyalty of
the colored people to the temperance
cause, as manifested in the last elec-‘
tiou. and assured these leaders of civic
reform that Grace Church and pastor
were in accord with every movement
that is characterized by (todliness. He
said Grace Church and. pastor were as
busy in their sphere as exponents of
civic righteousness. as the little wheel
of a great, pulsating manufactory is
lit helping to bring things to pass.
These speakers were supported by
two_ quartets, who rendered several
excellent selections for the ociasion.
One of the musical features was
"Sweet and Low," rendered by a mixed
quartet. The music for the evening
was arranged by Mrs. Julia Clay, :1
member of the church. ‘ Deactin W. C.

and dignity. '

was called today to the fact that the

the old Pennsylvania liepot that thS
llll'illl d on the Mall. until the president
had Il torn down last summer. That
the committee failed to expunge its
inquiries about this action front the
rinted hearings is taken to indicate
the temper of that etnumttiee towards
the executive. ,
When Colonel Charles S. iiromwcll,
military aide to the president and an-
pertntemlcut, of public buildings and
grounds. appeared before the commit-
tee, Representative linrleston, of Tax-
as. asked him if he had not requested
an upprtmrintlon last year for n watctr
man for the old depot.
"1 think so." replied Colonel llronr
wet. "but i have not had any occasion
to use it, because i have torn down
the rallraod station.“ »
"What! Torn down the railroad sta-
tion?“ exclaimed the ’l‘ex‘as member.
Colonel Broiuwell explained that he
tore down the building on a written
order [min the, president of the United
States.
“Do you know of any law on the
statute books tltut authorizes any with
entire officer to sell any of the proper.
ty of the. United States of that charac‘
fer-«real estate?" inquired Chairman
Tawney, of Minnesota.
“No, air." replied the president's
aide. “i called the attention of the
higher authorities to that fact, and 1
received an order to tear the building
down."
From the stenographic report of the
hearing, It. appears that Representa-
tive asked it the president had said
Why be hauled the building removed.
Mr. 'l‘nwney asked ‘is there was any
necessity for its removal, anti Mr. ilur-
leston inquired if it \\'as done to ini-
provc the perspective. all of which re.
unlined unanswered until Chairman

Immediately after the convening of
