A Proposition For a Universal Religious Celebration of Its Incoming
The century will end on the Monday following the Sunday after Christmas. Why may we not by general consent and mutual understanding mark that day out from common time — aye, even from "kalendared" days — by lifting a wave of united Christian worship that will roll around the world, which "he hath called from the rising up of the sun even unto the going down of the same?"
I would have on that day a celebration of the holy communion in every church and chapel and meeting house throughout all Christian lands, with the use of such special prayers and lessons as the ecclesiastical authorities may see fit to "set forth," and a special collection for missions, writes the Rev. William N. Dunnell in The Churchman. And I would that at midnight of that last day of the century, in every place of worship, the people gather, "young men and maidens, old men and children," to praise the name of the Lord, and as the new century came in I would have every voice and heart and soul, every chime and organ, swell "the great Creator's praise."
Where it is possible I would have the holy places illuminated. Where there is lack of clerical supply I would have some faithful layman lead the devotions of the people. Let no one, in city or country, on plain or mountain, in bondage or free, aship or ashore, be without the opportunity of joining publicly in Christianity's twentieth century "birth hymn."
Saw Nine Generations
Harriet Williams Brand, who died recently in Brooklyn in her ninety-second year, had the rare good fortune to see representatives of nine generations of her family, extending from her great-great-grandfather to her great-great- grandson.

Rome's Dazzling Ovation, 25th Anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's Coronation
Rome, 1903
WAS A GREAT DEMONSTRATION
Rome the Scene of Dazzling Ovation to Pope Leo XIII
THE ILLUMINATIONS AT NIGHT TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF CORONATION IS CELEBRATED
PONTIFF AFFECTED BY SCENE
Out of the Seventy-five Thousand Present One Thousand Were Americans
Rome, March 3. — "The demonstration has been so affecting. It surpassed all my expectations. I am completely satisfied. There was no note of discord."
The above words were spoken by Pope Leo after the impressive services in honor of the 25th anniversary of his coronation. When the pope returned to the vatican from the basilica, he was carried throughout the whole length of the cathedral, rising erect many times to bestow blessings, while princes, cardinals, diplomatists and bishops bowed low and the crowd saluted him frantically. When the pontiff had departed the people immediately left. When the pope returned to his apartments he wished to discuss the ceremony and give his impressions of it, but his physician insisted on complete quiet on which the pontiff exclaimed the words given above.
In the evening all the sacred edifices in Rome, monasteries, convents, seminaries and many private houses were illuminated, the Trastevere quarter and Leoine city especially presenting a blaze of light, while the general effect was heightened by the burning of bengal fires throughout the city. The pope rose from his couch and going to a window gazed upon this scene. The view from the vatican, embracing a stretch of seven miles, brilliant with light, was a marvelous one and his holiness exclaimed as he withdrew from the window: "This will, indeed, be a pleasant thing to dream of."
The Celebration.
From sunrise to day all Rome was on the alert, showing the most unusual animation and interest in the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the coronation of the pope. An immense crowd including hundreds of Italian troops in various modern uniforms; foreigners of all nationalities, including many women in varied attire; Italians from all parts of the country, assembled about the vatican and St. Peter's long before the ceremonies began. There was general discomfort among the sightseers owing to the drizzling rain. When the doors of St. Peters opened an almost indescribable struggle occurred, in which all present forgot the rules of his holiness; striving hard with elbows and feet to reach the interior of the sacred edifice the gowns of many ladies were mutilated, and some women were carried away in a fainting condition. The tribunes were soon crowded to overflowing and all standing space was occupied. After an hour of very fatiguing waiting the majestic procession, composed of the great dignitaries of the church, began to appear.
At 11 precisely, the great bell of St. Peter's rang out the signal, which was followed by chiming of bells of 500 churches in Rome, sounding the announcement the pontiff is on his way to the basilica. As the pope appeared inside of St. Peter's the people sent forth a tremendous roar of welcome.
Impressive Ceremonies.
From his elevation on a new sedia gestatoria, carried by 12 men in costumes of red brocade, flanked by the famous flabelli (spreading feather fans) and surmounted by a white and gold canopy, the pope appeared to be more than a human being; he seemed to be a white spirit, this impression being added to by the pontiff's white robes, and white mitre, delicate features, his face was white as alabaster and his thin hand moving slowly in benediction. As the well trained voices of the sistine choir sang the Tu Est Petrus thousands of voices shouted "Long Live Pope Leo," handkerchiefs fluttered in the air, banners of the various societies represented were waved, and many of those present, overcome with emotion, sobbed loudly, while others fainted from their excess of feeling or fatigue.
When the pope arrived at the throne the ceremony proceeded rapidly. Leaving the sedia gestatoria the pontiff knelt in prayer, then rose without assistance, donned the falda and new triple crown, and the celebration of the mass began. At the moment of the elevation of the host a profound silence fell on the assemblage, the guards presented arms and the people knelt, where it was possible for them to do so, and from the cupola came the clear, thin sounds of silver trumpets giving an idea of heavenly music. The pope then administered the papal benediction and retired to a room for restoratives, prepared on purpose every time he goes to St. Peter's. There addressing Dr. Lapponi, his private physician, the pontiff said:
"You see, that after all your warnings the ceremony did me good; what touching loyalty."
It was calculated there were about 75,000 people present, including 1,000 Americans.
By Wireless Telegraphy.
New York, March 3. — The following telegram has been sent to the pope by Cardinal Gibbous by the Marconi wireless system:
"American hierarchy, clergy and laity send congratulations on your jubilee."
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the reign of the pope was observed at St. Patrick's cathedral here with pontifical mass and thanksgiving celebrated by Archbishop Falconio, apostolic delegate to the United States. Falconio was assisted by a number of prominent church dignitaries.
—Davenport Daily Republican, Davenport, Iowa, March 4, 1903, pages 1 and 2.
Note: I left the capitalization as it was in the original article, words like Vatican, other things that would ordinarily be capitalized today. But the original headline had him as "Leo XIV," which I changed. The pope died that same year, July 20, 1903.

Indianapolis, 1912
IN MEMORIAM.
In MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance, Feb. 4, 1912: Another year of sweet remembrance has with time's rapid flight vanished into the past, yet it seems as but yesterday, that our kind and loving daughter, Margaret Louise Mary, departed from us through the portals of death into her heavenly home. Although by her faith and trust in her Savior we are assured of her heavenly bliss, nevertheless the recalling and memory of our sweet and Christian life, affords us consolation and comfort, ever encouraging us to walk the path which will in time also bring us into the presence of our heavenly Father, there reunited with her and without separation, to enjoy the bliss of the promised heavenly life. The parents, NICHOLAS POEHLER AND KATHERINE POEHLER.
IN MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance of our son and brother, George W. Armstrong, who departed this life Feb. 4, 1907:
Oh, what could heal the grief we feel,
For hopes that come no more;
Had we ne'er heard the Scripture word,
Weep not for me, my loved ones dear,
I am not dead, but sleeping here;
As I am now you all shall be,
So be prepared to follow me;
Short was my life, long is my rest.
To take me home God thought it best.
From MAMA, PAPA, SISTER AND BROTHER.
IN MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance of Marion Kyle Owen, who passed away two years ago today:
We never miss the sunshine
Until the shadows fall;
We never miss our loved ones
'Till gone beyond recall.
God came that day to still his pain
And take our darling home again.

BELL—In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Elizabeth C. Bell, who passed away one year ago today:
Gone, dear mother, gone forever;
Oh, how I miss your smiling face;
But you left me to remember,
None on earth can take your place.
Never more shall we caress you,
Never more your bright smile see,
But we know you rest with Jesus
By the peaceful crystal sea.

You were my pride and joy;
And when days are dark and friends are few,
Dear mother, how I long for you.
Your loving daughter, Mrs. C. E. Deniston.
