Remarks In Regard 10 the Late sunday
school Convention ut PaFkeFsbuFG.
From his pSp?r-The State Journal.
Several features In the work OF The late
Sunday School Convention deserve special
mention. The first is that the general
spirit exhibited was broad and charitable.
To be sure there was q slight mixture Of
narrowness, but only enough to bring out
10 more marked contrast the true christ.
ian graces Of the nobler kind. Still even
at the point Of contact only q kindly spirit
prevailed.
The question OF whether the "unconvert-
ed" should be permitted 10 take part In
Sunday Schools popped up as usual. 1t
was promptly answered by Rev J.. T.
Whitley, that In Sunday School work q
good, wide.awake "unconverted" man or
woman was more desirable than q poorly
converted one. 1t might be well 10 con.
slider that there is no very accurate rule
by which 10 determine who Ia and who is
not converted. A good life may not be
conclusive proof Of conversion, but q bad
life Ia positive proof Of non.conyersion,
whatever pretension there may be 10 the
contrary. The Sunday School work can
never fully succeed on the marrow gauge
plan; that is good as far as II goes, but q
broad through line is better.
II is over fifty years since we began 10
watch the operations Of mission and other
Sunday Schools, and our experience Ia
that 1t swell to leave the question as to
whether those laboripg In them are con.
verified or urConvetted 10 be settled be.
tween themselves and their Maker; any
other course offers q premium 10 self.
righteousness, and that Is fatal to any
good work. There is q vast amount OF
good work, noble sacrifice and genuine
love for ollr kind to be found In the ranks
oil those who are pstronislngly referred to
as "unConverted." Isit wise to ignore III
In any event II is pretty certain that the
uu%convsrted, 80 called, without asking
from anybody else the privilege to do 80,
will continue the good work In their own
way, hoping and inviting the cooperation
of'all who breathe VI think they breathe q
purer atmosphere Of spiritual life.

ATERRIFSC STORM.
The Damage Done in the city aud
Suburbs

This city and section was visited last eveI-
ing by terrific rain aud Lsil storm, which
DID considerable damage. About 7 O'Clock
a gale, akin to cyclone, swept through the
city, filing the air With dust so dense that
one could not see across the street. There
was vivid lightning and soon sfterwsrd
hard rain began to fail and the streets were
converted into running streams. The storm
was followed by II rambling 1ise resembling
that of u railroad train. The rain was fol-
lowed by heavy hail storm, which lasted
several minutes, the stones, which were
rather small, almost covering the ground in
places.
Ine wind blew with such force that the
Gong regational church, at the intersection
Of Pacific avenue and Live Oak street, was
completely demolished. 1t WAS Just flashed
aud dedicated last Sunday. The spire Of
the church struck the one-story frame resi-
dcnce occupied by Mrs. Catherine Brown, u
widow lady, and her daughter, crushing 10
the side OF the house and breaking in the roof,
the falling timbers ibjuring them both and
making them prisoners. The neighbors
came to their rescue, and had to saw them
out from under the ,imbers which held them
captives. The house, like the church, Is II
complete wreck. Mrs. Brown, who is an
aged lady of come sixty seven summers, bad
ner lett collar bone fractured in four places,
ner left lung Injured, and her left thigh badl,
| bruised. Her daughter, Miss Martha
Brown, was injured by heavy piece OF tim
Der falling on her left foot. They were re-
moved to the residence of Dr. Cornelius, h
lew doors up the street, where they were
attended by that gentleman and Drs.
| Esgan and Johnston. Mrs Browns
| ijuries are of serious nature.
Tne house occupied by Mrs. Blown
was pushed so far over that the one.
story frame residence Just beyond, in which
was located the family of Mr.. S. NJ. Terry,
WAS pushed over SO much that be and his
family were forced to leave it for their per-
sonsl safety.
The .moke-stacks of both the Phmnix and
Clark's planning Mills were blown down, and
part OF the roofing of the ilrst mentioned mill
was lifted.

much the severity of punishment as The

than death on the gibbet, than death in any
