At THE CHURCHES
At the German Lutheran Church, March
265h, Rev. DIR. Taubner, pastor, on the occa.
sion of the examination preparatory to con-
frmation, class of eighteen boys and girls
was presented. The examination was made
in regard to what they had learned after
many months of instruction and was conduct
ed by the pastor. 1t extended to their
knowledge of the doctrines Of the church, the
study of the Bible and the history of the
reformation, and without exception they
acquitted themselves with credit. Yesterday
was Palm Sunday, and the pastor admini5-
tered to the class the right of confirmation,
the most solemn of all the rites of the
Lutheran Church. The children made q very
pleasing appearance, the girls all being
attired in simple white. The church was
handsomely decorated with flowers aud gar
lands. DR.. Taubner preached very i'm
pressive sermon from Galatians, vi, z:
"Whatsover a man soweth, that shall he
also reap" He said there were two themes
bsr: the first was, whatsoever man SOW
eth, the second, "that shall he also reap"
On the first theme the speaker spoke on the
following heads: First, the kind of seed man
sows, where be sows it, when he sows it
second, he will surely reap the kind he
sows, in the way he sowed it, and in
like way will also receive his reward.
The sermon evidently made deep impress
sion on the parents and the children, and

pecially where the speaker advanced the idea
that the Galatians were Gaelic people, who.
in company with Celtic tribe, emigrated
from Thalia, in Asia, and mingled with the
Grecians, therefore also named Gallo-Gre
clans. The Germans, he said, have a close
relation to the Galatians, and for this reason
German children should especially take to
heart the words OF the Apostle Paul, "What-
soever man soweth, that shall he also reap"
METROPOLITAN THEATER. Nellie Boyd
Dramatic Company begin an engagement at
the Metropolitan Theater this evening, the
play being "a Case of Divorce" new
sensational and society drama, by BARLEY
Campbell. The company came to the Stale
by the Southern route. It announces its own
! orchestra, a full brass band, and elegant Co.'S
| tunes. The company has brought with it
| from the East eastern admission rates, to
which sooner or later all California managers
must come This will be the first time in the
history of the stage here that regular dra
matte company, playing the standard modern
| dramas, has announced to play for rates com.
mon at the East-50 and 50 cents. This event
gives warrant for the suggestion that it re-
mains to be seen whether company can
break down the custom here that insists
81, and oftener than not an extra fee for re-
serves besides. The last dramatic company
here that attempted to charge the full rates.
failed to draw, although there were some
other reasons, also, tending to that end.
Here, however, is troupe inviting criticism,
and that Is the first to break the ice of the
old charges. Whether or not it can resist the
managerial pressure on this coast as to that
is an interesting question. The houses OF
cheap prices in San Francisco have proven
sad thorns in the sides of theatrical proprie-
tors there, and it begins to look as though
their high price days are ended in the interior
also. There has not been continued suc-
csssful dramatic season in the interior, at
high prices, in year, while several ordinary
troupes, at low rates, have had crowded houses
and financial success. The sequel of the new
era in theatrical prices is evidently soon to be
written.

barkeeper, however, took the bit and threw
it into the drawer. The bit is worth about
