THE announcement that DIR. Carver
was to shoot yester ay afternoon
drew a number of people to Agricul-,
tural Park, A greater number would
doubtless have been there had the
exhibition been one of harmless skill
instead of cruel sport-shooting live
pigeons. The best shots now prefer
clay to live pigeons when shooting a
match, and the skill OF the marksman
is as we'll tested with the former as
with the latter. Indeed, many ex-
perts claim that it is better. Yes
terday both the contestants de-
i. onstrated that ordinary marks
mentor their shooting was not up to
first-class-can, at thirty-one yards
range, hit ninety per cent. of the birds
let out from the traps. Not over ten
per cent. of the birds hit are killed.
Thus eighty per cent. are left within
the bounds cruelty wounded, whilst
the ten per cent. that escape beyond
the bounds are more or less hurt, and
linger in hiding till death comes to
their relief. The really lucky birds
are those that are shot stone dead as
they rise from the trap. 1t is, there
fore, barbarous and cruel sport, and
unfit to be participated in by
humane and civilized beings. Be-
sides, it proves nothing that can
not be as we'll, if not better, proven
without incurring any cruelty what
ever. Certainly clay pigeon which,
when sprung from a trap, gyrates in
eccentric lines-sometimes irregularly
rising and skimming away from the
marksman. at others performing the
antics of boomerang, and no two
ever taking the same direction-is a
more difficult thing to hit than the
terrified dove that rises slowly and
hesitatingly, presenting almost pot
shot to the marksman. There are
numbers OF men here, not pretending
to be crack shots, who can
do as well as DR.. Carver did yester-
day, and thousands, familiar with the
gun, who with little practice, could
kill as large percentage as yester-
days record shows. Therefore we say
that shooting at timorous doves rising
from traps at short range proves moth
ing that the world is interested in
knowing. 1t is unworthy Of man of
DR.. Carver's wonderful accuracy of
aim and expertness with the shotgun
and the rifle. And as an exhibition
it is barbarous and repulsive, and
should be discountenanced bv all
true sportsmen, whose glory it is that
they only kill for food, and always
give the game they hunt fair
chance for life.

REJOICING will be general upon the
reading of the good news that the
strike is off from the Santa Fe system
of roads. 1t seems to have been by
mistake that the strike went on there,
and its speedy removal will prevent
any great complications or hardships
in this section. Had it continued for
any long period of time, we would
have suffered, because OF our re.
moteness from the East, and from the
fact that traffic facilities between the
two sections are at best, inadequate.

COMMUNION
At the First Presbyterian
Church.


Yesterday was Communion Sunday
at this church, and the day on which
new members are received. There
were sixty-eight applications for ad
mission yesterday, eleven by confes.
sion of faith and fifty-seven by letter
from other churches. The applica'
tions by letter were from nearly every
State in the Union, and many from
foreign countries.
DIR. w. j. Chichester, the pastor,
welcomed the new members in very
earnest and eloquent discourse, in
which he dwelt upon the duties
that devolved upon them by virtue OF
the new life they had assumed. They
had by their act devoted themselves
to the service of Jesus Christ, and
were bound by the voluntary step
they had taken to become exemplars
OF Christian conduct. They would
experience a change of heart, but
they were not to suppose that that
change would be the limit of their
growth in the virtues of a regenerated
life. Astounding love would be theirs,
a growing within them of the
sublime sentiments of Christianity, q
sense of increasing blessings and of
ineffable peace-of love for all that
was pure and good and noble-of
charity for all men and of content
ment with whatever was the lot in
which their lives should be cast.
They should not only attend to the
outward and formal duties devolvine
upon them, but they should seek
frequent communion with God by
everyday prayer and constant sub.
mission to His divine will. Through
prayer they would be exalted in theil
faith, purified in their hearts and made
to grow daily in their saint-like quail
ties. To them would come the re.
ward of abounding grace. They would
feel the divine essence of sanctifica
ton in their whole moral being. They
would realize that sublime peace
that surpasseth all gifts; and at the
end, when that supreme moment
came, they would feel the force o.
those beautiful lines of Mrs. Sigour.
ney:
"When faith is firm ar d conscience clear.
And new born hopes the spirit cheer,
And Heavenly visions half appear,
All, then, how easy tits to die"

Card of Thanks.

The members of the Los Angeles
Press Colony Association beg to re-
turn their most sincere and hearty
thanks to all those gentlemen and
property-owning corporations who 80
kindly made propositions to them and
in other methods have assisted in the
work of obtaining for them homes
"far from the madding crowd" The
large number Of propositions sent in
by these various persons and compa-
MES, has made it somewhat hard to
select q suitable location, but at the
same time, allowed them to make
such selection as will be a standing
monument to the generosity of the
wide-awake real estate owners of
Southern California. The only re-
gret the Association has, is, that it
had not enough members to enable it
to accept all the offers and establish
Press Colonies in every one of the
pretty locations in beautiful Los An
|geles county. s

BAPTISM.
An Interesting Discourse by Rev.
f, Birdsall,

An Interesting Discourse by Rev.
E. Birdssll.
Rev. Elias Birdsall preached yes.
terday morning, at st. Paul's Church,
to large audience, taking his text
from Acts 2-3S: "Then Peter said
unto them, repent and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ, for the remission of sins, and
ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost"
The Bible and the Church are both
the gift of God to man. An organized
body has always existed, to receive,
inte pret and preserve each revelation
that came from God 1t is important
to remember this especially in refer
ence to the Christian Church, which
began to take form and shape on the
day of Pentecost.
These apostles, who were as found
ers, had been trained and prepared
for their work by three years personal
intercourse with the master. After
His resurrection He went in and out
among them for forty days, teaching
them the things pertaining to the
kingdom Of God. They had now re-
ceived the power from on high and
were inspired by the Holy Spirit; so
that we are to learn from their acts
as we'll as their words the results and
consequences of their training and
guidance under Jesus Christ, and
the enlightenment of the good spirit
which never left them. The teach
ing of Holy Scripture upon the SUBJ
ject of baptism il 80 plain and ex-
plicit that there is seldom any doubt
or difficulty about it. 1t is sacra-
ment ordained by Christ, in person,
as the one door of admis-
sion into His church and kingdom.
It is test of obedience to
His direct command, and He has
taught US that it is mockery to call
Him "Good ord" and do not what
He says. And that "he that hea eth
His sayings and doeth them not spall
be like man that built his house on
the sand" It insures positive bene-
fits, it gives definite aim and express
sion to the repentance and faith with
which we turn to God; seals our par
don and forgiveness; binds us to
Christ and Christ to rs, so that we
are made thereby members of Christ,
children of God and neighbors Of the
kingdom Of heaven. Grace is thus
given to %, help b assured us by the
