Its representative manufactories. Jobbing houses, stockyards, and banking institutions are legitimate enterprises. Chicago is not a wrecker among cities; in building itself up It has created an Inland kingdom of prosperity. The question of the hour Is What ts Chicago doing with this wealth If from one standpoint Chicago may be said to be the worst of cities, from another It may more truthfully be said to be the best of cities." said the Rev. G.

D. Cleworth in the Open church. He spoke of Chicago's smoke, physical and moral, that gives a stranger his first Impressions. Then he added: "All things considered, the moral life of our people is quite up to that of the other I Will Spirit Praised and Suggestion Offered That It Be Applied to Church Work as to Daslaess Oae Minister Finds an Old Testament Prophecy Applies) to Present Municipality Several Glance Into Fat ore, Predicting; Great Things.

At the banquet we will have members of the Thomas orchestra.

I cannot see why there Is any complaint. Members of the marine band are members of the union and get union wages. We have arranged for their presence In Chicago and they are to get some recompense." Fight of Long Standing. The fight between the marine bard and the union has been of long standing. The union men approve of the band as a government organization, but they have suffered from competition with it.

As It Is considered th best band in the country it has been In great demand in the east. Every association or Individual employing It has received letters of protest, and the Elks, at their recent convention in Baltimore, were induced to cancel a contract they had made with it. The Chicago Federation of Musicians control practically every member of the pro-fess'on In the city. If the association refuses to drop the marine band the Chicago Federation of Labor will put its stamp of disapproval on the celebration. This will be embodied in a circular letter that will be sent to all the unions of the city.

Many children became separated from their parents in the crowds that thronged the streets and parks. The police were kept busy caring for the lost ones, some cf whom were returned to their parents without being first tstken to the station.

Of those cared fcr at the police stations, eighteen were taken to the- Larrabee street station, and five were taken to the Kast Chicago avenue station. These children were from all parts of the city, one of them, Johnnie Howard, living as far south as Seventy-first street and Cottage Grove avenue.

The Rev. Wilson M. Backus, preaching in the Third Unitarian church, spoke of Chi cago's material progress and then said: Sir Thomas Linton, for the first time since he came to Chicago two weeks ago with an affection that developed into appendicitis, was able yesterday to receive visitors his rooms at the Annex. Among other thinp he said: Chicago Is the greatest Industrial 1n the world. Its worst fault Is Its smokt I am as desirous as ever of lifting ft cup.

What save the condition of Chicago could develop the heroine, Jane Addams? The influence of this woman, and kindred souls, has humanized the religion of our middle west." Most American City in Land.

Prof. W. Black preaching in the Central Church of Christ, spoke of the causes which This celebration will not have fulfilled its whole purpose unless we carry in our hearts and our heads the plan of a future city in which our moral and spiritual growth will keep pace with our. material triumphs." Study the history of Chicago and brace up." said the Rev. Frederick E.

Hopkins of the Pilgrim Congregational church. Timidity never made a senator and a merchant like our distinguished citizen who died last week." Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All Souls church, said he would postpone his formal centennial sermon till the parades, the red lights, and the banqueting had passed." However, he gave a suggestion of what that sermon will be. The true glory of Chicago is not now and never has been found in its material achievements. Even Chicago must ultimately be measured by its intangible attainments, its ethical achievements." City Should Honor Labor. Dr.

Frank W. Gunsaulus likened Chicago's industrial conditions to those of ancient Venice. The Venice of today is a qulef city because it did not honor its laborers or dignify their calling," said Dr. Gunsaulus. Industrial conditions in Chicago would be improved if labor unions should increase their standard of membership rather than their numbers." In the Hyde Park Baptist church Dr.

John L. Jackson spoke of Chicago as "the strategic center of modern civilization." About It." he said, rage those momentous struggles which so seriously affect the material and spiritual progress of the race. Chicago is one of these important centers." The Rev. Frank C. Brur.er of the Normal Park Methodist Episcopal church urged that the church should spread the gospel instead of social doctrines, in order that the wickedness of Chicago should vanish." The Rev.

Pearse Pinch of the Forrestville Congregational church said: We shou'd stand in awe of the vast destinies that are unfolding about us. We must put the moral and spiritual above the material or the greatness of Chicago can become the greatness of ruin unparalleled." Bishop Fallows, speaking in St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal church, has pride in Chicago, but maintains that a vast deal Is to be done yet before it can boast of being a model municipality. As, thevmost pressing need he urged better houses for the poor, saying it is far better to devote energy and money to God's living temples than to pile up brick and stone either in cathedrals of institutions of learning." More Energy in Church Work. An appeal for more energy in church work was made by several pastors.

The hour has struck for the supremacy of the spiritual in Chicago." said Dr. H. Francis Perry in Englewood Baptist church. As Chicago put down anarchy, so let us put down the modern foes of the richest life in this great metropolis of the middle west." Chicago is the seat and the center of a multitude of moral, social, and civic forces, which are a menace." said-the Rev. W.

L. Hunton in Holy Trinity Lutheran church. The church, with Its gospel message of peace, is the sole antidote." After referring to the fact that a Baptist minister preached the first sermon In Chicago. Dr. T.

W. Powell, in the Rogers Park Baptist church, said centennial week ought not to find the churches asleep surely not Baptist churches." We are more devoted to commercialism than we are to Christ." said Dr. Polemus II. Swift in Wesley Methodist Episcopal church. Criticism from Evanston.

With surface and elevated cars jammed to the guards with centennial crowds, and with Lincoln park almost a solid mass or humanity, accidents due to the crowd were surprisingly few yesterday. One boy lost his life under the wheels of a street car and two men were killed by trains, but only the first named accident could be traced even Indirectly to the holiday crowd. Four persons were injured, two of them being women, who were caught in the crush in Lincoln park. The Dead. EGGERSON.

Lincoln. Sept. 23.

Editor of The Tribune. I regret to see that amorg the many hundreds of Irish-American societies In Chicago none has seen fit to honor, during the centennial celebration, the memory of their fellow countryman, Capt. John Whistler, the actual founder of the city. All of Capt. Whistler's descendants are Illustrious in American history, among them his grandson, the late James McNeil Whistler, the distinguished artist.

I am sure there ar among your Irish-American citi-Eens many who would be glad to cooperate In erecting a statue to one of their race whose deeds have reflected so much honor upon the land of his birth and upon that of his adoption. I have no fear of the outcome If a representative committee for this purpose Is organized. Francis J. Ward. "P0ST0FF1CE POET" AT WORK.

Centennial Furnishes Inspiration for Eleven Stanzas Sent Mr. Covne by James E. Kinsella. Chicago's growth in ethics and rtliion was theme of the centennial celebration yes-, terday. Special services were hel-d in most of th.

churcMes and pastors told of the city's advance in things spiritual, comparing progress on these lines with material growth. Th-e- unmeasured possibilities of the future were depicted in glowing colors and hearers were urged to put the same I will spirit into church work that inspires their efiorts for material success. The Chicago motto. "I Will." was the keynote of the discourse of Dr. E.

G. Hirsch In Sinai temple. I Will ar.d Chicago challenge the world," he said. For a hundred years CM-cagoans have willed, and we have become instead of a savage wilderness a regal power before the world, an emporium of importance surpassing all in ambition and determination. We have made Chicago a synonym for thrift.

Industry, perseverance, ar.d intelligence. We have supplied the nations with our produce till in the great world of commerce, the highest crown which eminence can place upon our brow is the words, I am a ChieagoaW. Mun has made our city. Circumstance has not been the determining factor nor has climate or environment given us victory in our struggles. Unconsciously or consciously the great world philosophy I Will has underlain all the energy which has given us our power and prerogative.

I Will has been the symbol which has developed a liberalism which can nowhere else be found. In religious configuration nowhere else is there such tolerance and Independence felt within the walls of churches and synagogues." Centennial Guests at St James'. Gen. and Mrs. W.

W. Gordon, Mrs. Redmond, and the other guests of the centennial committee attended St. James Episcopal church. In this church they had a special interest, as the Klnzie family was among its founders.

After the services the guests Inspected the bronze tablets and the memorial altar in the vestibule, relics of the church destroyed in the great fire. Dr. James S. Stone preached from the text. I am a citizen of no mean city," and said In the course of his sermon: I do not say Chicago is a perfect city, but I do say it is much urtheY on the road to such perfection than many of our critics admit or recognize." Compared with Older Cities.

The history of Chicago, as-compared with older cities, was mentioned by the Rev. M. Edward Fawcett, rector of St. Bartholomew's church, in his sermon. Chicago begins to take a place with the ancient cities filled with memories," he said.

It has the memories if not the years, having condensed in a brief period all the epochs from barbarism to civilization, and all vicissitudes from frontier fort to mighty metropolis. There is something more in Chicago than slime, soot, and sin. Chicago has somewhat to show in proof that commercialism does not entirely dominate. Chicago today represents a period in that transition from the city Cain built to the new and undeflled city God is sending down out of the heavens." contributed to the growth of the city and then said: Today, while we have 2.on:$.00 population, four-fifths of whom are foreigners, we are the most Americanized city in the whole land and represent the highest type of American civilization." Gift of Providence. The Rev.

G. A. Gullixon, preaching in the Norwegian Lutheran St. Paul's church, said the great growth of the city during the last century was the gift of Providence. "That which adds true luster to the achievements of these past years Is the truth that in all true advancement the hand of God has been present." he said.

To eliminate from our consideration of the past history of the city the thought of God's wondrous providence and guidance Is to rob It of its greatest glory. For I know of nothing so glorious on earth as man united with God." Chicago Prophesied in Bible. The Rev. W. A.

Bartlett of the First Congregational church held that Chicago was mentioned in the bible. Six hundred years before Christ." he said, the prophet Zephaniah had a vision of a city. It must have been Chicago. He said. This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart.

I am. and there Is none beside me. There is almost our motto: 'I will, or I Chicago says: There is no such city on earth. It is the rejoicing city which dwelt Careless of her cannon like streets, of the medieval bandit restored, of the juggernaut surface car and automobile." The Rev. Frederic E.

Dewhurst of the University Congregational church held that the city represents human fellowship. It is the sense of kind, th.e feeling of likemlnd-edness that draws men together into towns and holds them there even in the face of discomforts and privations." he said. God harbor as a trial boat.

A. A. Berle, preaching in the Union Park Congregational church. Dr. Berle took a despondent view of present conditions.

He said: The founders of Chicago were free men. Their Chicago has almost disappeared. Tyrannies, chiefly industrial, paralyze the energies of the young men of today. Power of undertaking with courage and skill new enterprises is for the most part throttled. The dead levels made by unionism, as practiced in Chicago, which is simply physical tyranny, makes It impossible as of yore for the children of the poor to emerge into larger and greater activities." Promise of the Future.

A glance into the future of the city was taken by the Rev. Camden M. Cobern in St. James Methodist Episcopal church last evening. Jerusalem was on' the highway over which, the culture and the commerce of the east and west had to travel," he said.

Chicago occupies ihat position today as no other city in the world. The promised land had great resources and fabulous wealth locked up in its valleys and hills. No country in the world equals America in these respects, and Chicago is the logical and geographical center of America. No city in hhrtory has equaled this In rapidity and solidity of growth, yet this expansion has only begun." Bishop Cheney spoke in Christ church on The Possibilities of Chicago." Looking into the future I see a city sunning itself in the Joy of a righteous government," he said. Our vision of the new Chicago reveals a city where life and property are safe.

In the possible Chicago we should be able to go through the shadows without an ever present terror of assault. If sinecures and stuffed pay rolls were abolished we need not complain of inadequate policing." The Rev. Dr. Joseph K. Mason of St.

Paul's Universalist church attacked the residents who spoke of Chicago's wickedness, and said: The person who tells of intemperance, gambling, and corrupt government should not fall to call attention to our great natural harbor, our business resources, our noBle philanthropies, enr schools and universities, our public spirited citizens." Need of Civic Pride. The need of civic pride was urged by Dr. Joseph A. Vance in Hyde Park Presbyterian church. There are still men among us who confound greatness with bigness, who dodge and shift the responsibilities of citizenship," said he.

"They must be taught better. Civic pride and setting store by honesty, cleanliness, and nelghborliness are of more value In making a great city than even thrift and hustle." Dr. Joseph Stolz, preaching at Isaiah temple, spoke of the city's growth, and added: days of Solomon.

Hotels Already Well Filled. But while the big crowd is yet to come the hotels already are well filled.

There were people at the Great Northern.
