2 MISSIONS ARE NOW IN PROGRESS SERMON AND INSTRUCTIONS MAHKED OPENING OF SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST. PAIL'S. Forceful and Straightforward Srr suou Preached By Rev. Father llughson. O. H. C—lnstruction. Were Conducted By Rev. Father Huntington, O. H. C.—White Flan nel Surplice With Black Oord About Waist the Garb of the Or der. With a sermon by Rev. Father Hugh son and "Instructions” conducted by Rev. Father Huntington the Missions at St. Paul's Episcopal Church were opened last night before a large con gregat ion. The two ministers who represent the Order of the Holy Cross, and who con ducted the services, proved themselves worthy of the reputation they were given in advance of their coming. Their talks were plain, straightforward, and earnest, and the impression gained is that their highest Interest is in the saving of souls. During the service they wore the garb of the Order of the Holy Cross, an Order founded twenty-three years ago by Rev. Father Huntington. This garb consists of a full-length gar ment, loose and flowing, of cream-col ored flannel. The cowl is worn hanging freely over the should ers and at no point in the service was it placed in position about the head. Suspended from the neck was a small black cross that was thrown into all the greater prominence by the white background of the robes. About the waist was a heavy black cord, thrice knotted, and extending nearly to the ground. Each cord ended in a heavy knot instead of a tassel. The opening service, following close ly the ritual of the church, was con ducted by Rev. Father Huntington. During this part of the service Father Hughson was absent from the chan cel, though he entered just at the close of the last prayer. Sermon By Father Hnghson. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Father Hughson. The text was taken from the Sermon on the Mount, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect." With this as a basis Father Hughson built a strong sermon, marked by plain straightforward English, an absence of bewildering adjectives, and a logical, consistent message. Attention was called to the fact that in the breast of man there is an un quenchable longing for perfectness, which the speaker construed as proof that man was born for perfection. Added to this human longing is the divine command to be perfect, and because God commanded perfectness Father Hughson held that it was pos sible of attainment. Continuing his argument, he held that the longing for perfection and the command to be perfect was proof posi tive that man was intended for God that his sole purpose was to fit him self for God. To this certain acts, known as acts of faith, are necessary, acts which are meant to signify that man has put his trust in God. The sermon closed with a strong plea to his hearers to take the initial step at once. The Infractions Given. The "instructions" were in charge of Father Huntington. Great earnest ness marked this part of the service. At times the speaker stepped from the chancel down into the aisles in his de sire to come closer to the body of his listeners. He was almost constantly leaning far-forward. The simplicity of the language, the nature of the dis course and the earnestness of the ques tioner made it a seemingly easy thing to hold the attention of his congrega tion. Two questions formed the basis of the instructions: "What is needed to make you a success?” and "How shall we know God's purpose?" Taking up the first question Father Huntington called attention to the facts that pur pose is essential to success as purpose less action can result neither In suc cess nor failure. Purpose presupposes will and was defined as will in action. The answer to the first question then came with the statement that each man is a success who fulfills the pur pose of his life, the purpose represent ed by the will of Him who made him. Impressing of Facts. The second question was answered by calling attention to the three pow ers which have been given man. in tellect, feeling, and will. The duty of man was then defined as striving to known God, to love Him with all his heart, and willing tc do His will. When this answer had been given, the speaker requested the congregation to repeat after him both the questions and the answers. This was done sev eral times, until a steady, uniform, answer had been given. When this had been accomplished Father Huntington said simply, "There's a fact. There's a fact. And it is a fact to which your own conscience will bear witness." Two short illus trations of the facts brought out were then given and the services dismissed with the benediction. The following is the programme for the services during this week: Holy communion, 7:30 a. m.; holy commun ion, with instruction, addresses, at 10:30 a. m.; children's mission at 4 p. m.; service of intercession at 8 p. in., and mission service, with Instruction, at 8:15 p. m.

Thomas Collier Platt has introduced into the Senate his bill for reducing Southern representation In Congress. Several representatives have brought in similar bills. It may be assumed, however, that no bill on the subject will become a law. Nor will it be necessary for the Demo crats to rely upon obstruction and in terminable talk In the Senate. There is one sufficient reason why all the activity of the gentlemen now so hustling with reduction bills will come to nothing. The "Solid South” is a great help to the Republicans. It is a definite political advantage to them. They may threaten, but they will not do anything. They are perfectly con tented with the present state of things. A reasonably Solid South is enough for them. Two Trains Daily to gaiters Cities via Southern Railway.
