and a best attitude. Taking the best you will
make the most and the best of your pastor and
of yourselves. If you fall into the worst atti-
tude, you will hurt yourselves, and no one can
say what your pastor will do--he is Humankind
no man alive can foresee what he will do in
such circumstances. He may be as patient rs
Job, or become as impatient as Mrs. Job.
The elements of the worst attitude | will
name for your information. cannot think you
will ever fall into them. They are those of in
dolence, Indifference, halfheartedness doubt
ing, distrust, criticism and hostility.
Taking the best attitudes, you viii become ap-

tender and prayerful You must be prayerful
The world is sad woeful, cold and dark All
the lights of earth are but pallid CLEANS, Till
the heavens open and Gods illumining spirit
comes by prayer, like suns into chaos, society
will be neither enlightened nor saved. You
must love and pray the world into light and
liberty. So then, rally to the side of your pas
tor, We children and youth, young men and
maidens. Bear your burdens manfully and
| well, We who are in middle life, and make all
your way hopeful and strong And We remain

graciously along; you are passing down the de-

audience joined in singing - All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name as closing hymn
after which the newly-installed pastor pro-

organal occasional.
METROPOLITAN THEArER Rice's Sur

Metropolitan Theater after an absence of

ever in the purposeless mixture entitled

character, is good low comedian, and, as
Pop is very humorous. Had Mr..
Mackay never appeared in the part, Mr..
Richmond would be counted very great

the theatergoer regret the contrast made
with the memory of Mackay, than whom,
however, he is more versatile Miss Essng
is very clever, but in the part once
filled by Miss Perry, she recalls the lat
ter by the contrast that is TO her own
disadvantage, and yet Miss Essing has a
better voice and is better Soubrette and
lacks only the personal magnetism. Kate
Castleton is precisely the same, and her

She had very warm reception, and the
complimentary applause bestowed must
have been gratifying to the little woman.

FooT-RACING FOR BIG MONEY - Las
week a foot-race took place at Woodland
between Owen DinSdale and a man who
appeared under the name of King for $500
a side, the latter winning George Dins-
dale subsequently stated that he had
man in Sacramento who could beat King
and it was agreed to make match. La,
evening papers were drawn up,
by which 1t was agreed that $500 a side
should be put up that night, 81 900 vcster-
day and 81 900 more to-day, making 81 $50
a side, for a 100-yard race, 10 take place at

was put up in Colonel McNasser's hands
Saturday evening, and last night the inter-
ested parties met at the Golden Eaglcs
selected Matt NJ. Allen as final stakeholder,
and each party put up 81 900 more with
him. The balance is to be put up before
the race. Evidently the match is for

each admits that the other has a strong
man. Kings name was last evening stated
to be J. {. Ryan. Besides the Woodland
race he has had other matches in the State
beating GeaTy at Pctaluma and another
man at Red Bluff. His opponent is regis
tered at the hotel as ID. Bentley Who he
is none except those backing him appear
to know. Few footraccs have taken place
in the State for as much money as the arti-
Giles call for in this case, and it certainly
seems a large amount to be won or lost in
less than ten seconds.
THE WEEDs.-Late in the summer there
is usually a great cutlery against people who
allow weeds to grow in front of their prop
erty. 1t has been suggested that it would
be good idea for the parties thus COM
planned of To cut the weeds before they 90
to seed, as by so doing they would save
trouble and keep their property in good
appearance.
