LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THREE TRUTHFUL SAYINGS.
Mr.. Hammond's Last Discourse-Th'

Mr.. Hammond's Last Discourse-The
jubilee Service To- might.
The services of The revival are kept up in
number and variety as great as if the end
was not so near. All of the usual services
were held yesterday, at the railroad shops,
at tie Congregational Church, on X street
in the twilight, and at the old pavilion in
the evening. These services will be re-
peated to-day, with the omission of only
the evening open air meeting, and to SUBJ
stitute this, a farewell children's meeting
will be held at the Congregational Church
at o'clock. There will be no services to-
morrow, and the announcements of the
plan for the continuation of the
MEETINGS BY THE PASTORS
Themselves after Mr.. Hammonds depart
ure will be made public later. Mr. Ham
mond leaves for Marysville on Friday after
noon, and as has been already stated, the
pastors announced their determination of
carrying on the work on the same plan by
themselves. The interest seems abund-
antly TO warrant this continuation of The
work.
The jubilee service is the leading feature
of to-day's meetings. This will begin at
1880 this evening All of the ministers
will speak. and Mr. Hammond said last
night that instead of holding the usual in
duiry meeting, to-Light there would be a
rotary inquiry meeting. All arrangements
are complete for an interesting and varied
service. All the singers will be out in
force.
At the service last night there was an
attendance nearly up to the Sunday even
ing attendance, probably attracted by the
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE FAREWELL SERMON.
All of the pastors were on the platform.
Rev. Mr.. Merrill having charge of the
service. Before the sermon Rev. Mr..
Bauder gave a glowing account of the
meeting held at Dixon on Monday night
He said there had evidently been a prep
aration for the work, and an expectancy
and readiness, and the spirit of God fell
upon the people. He also said that he had
been in many previous meetings, but never
before in one of such power. 1t reminded
him of Scripture revival of IL ime of
King HeZekiah, when the work was done
suddenly.
Mr. Hammond said he had three texts
that were prefaced with the statement, 1T
is a faithful saying" These texts were, st
unto all things" at is faithful saving
CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE
Sinners, even the chief" and ut is q faith
full saying, if we be dead with him we shall
also live with him" He then preached at
length 10 Christians and young converts,
exhorting them to faithfulness and to trust
in Christ, and to press on to higher planes
of Christian being and living. There was
an earnestness even beyond the usual earn
estness that marks his preaching, and a
tenderness, almost tearfulness, in his man
ner that made profound impression on
his hearers. Without disinissing the service
was turned into an inquiry meeting, which
had not broken up at a late hour.
To-day there will be held the usual noon
meeting at the railroad shops. The after
noon meeting will be held at the Congre-
gational Church at 3 P. M, and will be the
last one held this week. A farewell chill
drens meeting will be held at the Congre-
gauonal Church at o'clock. The open-
air meeting on K street will be omitted.
and the jubilee service viii begin at 7:30
at the old Pavilion. All of these closing
meetings will doubtless be largely attended.
The programme for continuing the meet
ings will be announced tonight.
Shade-Tree Planting.
There will be meeting of the Commit
tee on Sidewalks and Shade-trees this even
ing at the Improvement Association rooms,
429 J street. The meeting is for the special
purpose of advancing the work of planting
trees along the city streets and upon public
grounds, etc. Every member of the COM
mittee is urged TO be present at the above
place at o'clock, and 10 be ready TO SUBJ
nit reports OF work in progress, or sugges-
tons as to the most successful method of
carrying On the shade tree campaign. The
time for planting will soon be past and it
is the wish of the committee, and should
be of every citizen, to see the city benefited
to the utmost by having row of trees ex-
tend uninteIruptedly on both sides of all
streets outside of the business portion. This
will add immessurabiy to the attractiveness
of the city as place OF residence, increase
the equsbility of temperature, advance the
incoming of people from aboard to make
homes in the Capital City, and in itself
will speak volumes for the refinement of
taste and the enterprise possessed by our
property-owners and residents.
To accomplish this, let none await urg-
ing of the Shade-tree Committee, but let
every one owning or occupying a residence
or property in the city, consider himself or
herself a special improvement committee
of one 10 see that trees are planted in
'front.' or about il. In this connection it is
TO be hoped, also, that the desirability OF
having at least a good portion of such
trees selected from the list of evergreens
which give semi-tropic and luxuriant ap-
pearance in the winter season, will not be
overlooked. This. in fact, is the class OF
trees that should be principally planted, as
heretofore deciduous trees-which are leaf
less portion of the year-haye been the
favorites, and lend a desolate appearance to
our Eastern visitors, as well as ourselves,
when not in foliage. Shall we make Sscra-
mento the most beautiful city upon the
coast2 Our people must answer the ques-
ton, and should do so affirmatively and
promptly by the good work indicated.
