Delay on Bridge Oc I Denied at Rome byOne on the Best of Terms With Pope Pius Who Has as Yet Taken No Foreigner Will Get the Appointment ROMP Sept reference to the report that Cardinal Moran of SI'dhc)r has been offered the post of Papal Secretary of State It can be said that Pius has taken Do action regarding the appointment of a State Secretary A Cardinal who is on the best terms with the Pontiff haring been one of his warmest electors said to-day to the Associated Press correspondent: "The Holy Father desires to become a master of the whole mechanism pt the Vatican before appointing a Secretary of State Meanwhile all ()Mewl' employed by Pope Leo have been re tamed to help the new Pontiff in carrying out his purpose The new Secretary of State will gradually replace them but their removal wil1 not be a punishment on the contrary they will be rewarded by promotion The new Secretary however 'Is alniost sure to be an Italian 8f4 that has been the tradition for centuries Cardinal Moran notwithstanding hiri undmihted abilitY his liberal turn of mind and his exact acquaintance with nindern problems has no more chance than any other foreigner This is why Mgr Merry Del Val who has often been spoken of for the position Is unlikely to be chosen he being a Spaniard Besides his appointment even if made after he had been appointed a Cardinal Might be considered as an offense to the Sacred College as it would Imply that among its present members there Is none worthy to occupy the position" Bishop Hendrick of Cebu Philippine Islands and Mgr Hendrick the Bishop's brother left this morning for 11 Membership Now Numbers Several Fitzgerald Delivers Sermon of the of the Church Read by Rev It Blue The Waverly Place Methodist Church was dedicated Sunday morning Dish-Op Fitzgerald delivering the sermon An interesting oervice was held at the church a large congregation being present A musical programme of merit was rendered Rev 11 Blue read a short history of the church after which the church was presented by Andrew Kline on behalf of the trustees The history of the church shows remarkable growth In Mt a few children assembled at the old school house and a Sunday-school was organized by George Winn who then had charge of the city missions Kline was elected Superintendent On lunday Nov 8 of the same year the church was founded Rev John Perry a student of Vanderbilt University 'taking charge The new church was occupied in 1s96 the corner-stone being laid October 1894 It now has a membership of several hundred Bishop Fitzgerald's text was selected from the ninety-third Psalm "Iloliness becometh thine house 0 Lord forever" This text was very applicable being the setting aside of a temple of God for holy purposes The reign of God in creation he said was the most august theme of the psalmist God was represented as wrapping his power about him as royal robes The visible phenomena of the universe he said were insignias of his majesty But God was greater than all his works "The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters yea than the mighty waves of the sea" Behind the visible creation was the infinite creator himself Knowing that they have ouch a God the course of men's lives should reflect the reverence adoration affection and ssbediense which constituted holiness The word house said Bishop Fitzgerald might be used In a twofold sense ample warrant being found In the Holy Scripture Holiness became the huilding Itself as Cods temple which was this day to be stet apart for God and holiness became the worship of the people in Gods house The one thing essential for prayers was the Divine Presence God did not look upon the physical attitude of the worshipper but upon the spiritual attitude of the soul Bishop Fitzgerald said In conclusion that the dedication of any church was useless unless the souls in it were dedicated to Jesus Christ who shed his blood for men that they might live in hcsalvation of one immortal soul was worth more than a thousand perishabis temples The LI1 bor Day Committee of the Trades and Labor Connell met At Simmons Hall Sunday morning when each of the members received a badge bearing the Inscription "Labor Day Committee" which will be worn by them to-day No business was trebeacted at the meeting preparations for the celebration of the day having been consummated The committee of which Timon is Chairmen Lae arranged an excellent programme for the observance of the day anti It is the consensus of opinion among the members of the various labor organizations of the city that great credit Is duo to it for the efforts it has matte to make the celebration worthy of the occasion It is generally believed by the union workmen of Nashville that the labor demonstration to-day will surpass in magnitude any ever I eon before in this section of the State It Is estimated that to 12i100 will attend the celebration at Glendale Park and half as many colored pea-pie are expected to take part In the celebrations at Watkins Park Nearly ell the extra cars of the railway company will be put into requisition the number of ellt5 being increased on the Jo Johnston and Glendale lines according to the demand In response to the address of President Timon urging all employers of labor to suspend nperations it is expected that nearly all manufacturing and mercantile establishments of the city will close thus giving their employes an opportunity to take part in the celebration There will be no parade to-day It being the policy of the council to omit thia feature from the celebrations every three or four years in order to avoid monotony but in other respects the celebration will be on a more elaborate scale than usual The details of the programme were published in The American of Sunday's issue At Glendale Park Timon Chairman of the Labor Day Committee will be ex officio master of ceremonies Washing ton Moore and Co1 Jere Easter will be the orators of the day Mr Moore will speak at 10:30 o'clock and Col Baxter at 1 Copies of the Labor Day edition of the Labor Advicate which is of Try large size and the -cover-of which is printed in three cotters and htsure

remembered that the engine was loaded SeturdeY on the barge the purpoee being to carry It to Ashland City Loaded with the ene rine the barge drew a greater depth than existed at the loading point and it was sunk in the mud The barge was floated at about 3 o'cleck Sunday afternoon Two similar barges One on each side were lashed securely to that bearing the engine In thin way the burden was divided and with the three barges was suetained The barges are now well out in the stream where the depth is sufficient to preclude further danger Of grounding The two whielt were brought to the relief of the other will be returned to moorings or to work The other barge will proceed to Ashland City with the engine Supt Fox of the Tenneesee Central Conetruction Company said on Sunday evening that the work

with all the courtly grace of which he WAR capable said: I salute the Church of the Levier God' The incident breathes a truth of the deepest and most real If we all more frequently remembered the great WP priests and the Church of the Living many heart-hurninge and vexations of spirit woula he sited in our determination to uphold the dignity and honor of that great body of Kingdom of heaven The ekturch is called the body of Chriet because It Is the means of his eelf-expression and as all bodies must have the means of growth and self-propagation and of supplying the waste of its tissues so the church Christ's body effects this in the sacraments "A kingdom must have in it a principle of continuity by which Its governing body rney be perpetuated This principle In the kingdom of heaven Is found in the law of apostolic succession The threefold ministry of the church bishops priests and deeeons constitute the ordinary officers of the kingdom of heaven the bishop succeeding one another

throegh her ministry gives herself to her children she is giving Christ The priest must always remember this What love gentlenees tenderness and he must always show rememeecing he is the instrument of

a Noma are dwarfed and degraded and others who live in riot upon wealth unearned are as effectually debauched and dehumanized Dr Chappell took for Ina text "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou earn bread' Gen Ills 19 "Two agencies" said the preacher "cooperate in the produclion of thoae things upon vithich depend the health comfort and develcinment of our and man" "The divine flat requires that each one who is able to work obeli do so and to this requirement there is no exception" continued Dr Chappell No amount of inherited wealth can purchase exemption The man who does not work is a modal
