Programme of the Alliance Meet
ing Yesterday.
The morning session yesterday at
Long Beach began with Bible reading,
led by Mrs. Armour, subject, "Service."
The training class was conducted by
Rev II. G. Crist, with paper on "The
Canon of Scripture" The speaker de-
fined what was meant by the Canon"
in what it consisted and why the Apo
crypha must be excluded. He showed
why the Bible WAS the most remarkable
work extant, as work of literature, as
the Oldest book in existence, as inde-
structible, and as exerting an influence
greater than any other ever published.
At IL o'clock a. m. lecture was de-
livered by Rev. j. B. Holloway, of Los
Angeles, on the subject, Excelsior, or
Room al the Top" He said: "The
Anglo Saxon is never satisfied
unless he is always in the lead.
This explains his success as the leader OF
civilization today. Excelsior is al
ways his motto. This is pree minently a
motto which young people everywhere
should adopt as their maxim. Columbus
was the embodiment of this principle.
He suffered wrongs. insults, imprison-
ment, but Excelsior was his guiding
star, and the discovery of the New
World the result" A most glowing tri
butte was paid to the mothers OF this land
who have stamped a noble character
upon their sons and sent them out into
the world to battle for the right and &C.
complish so much for their fellow men.
At o'clock the Young Peoples Alli-
ance met. The subject for the meeting
was "Consecration."
At 1880 p. m. the tabernacle was
crowded, and the session began with a
piano duet by the Misses Webster. The
introduction of Forres Cheney, the cele.
brated New York violinist, was received
with great applause. The lecture by Rev.
DR.. Harcourt, of San Francisco, on "That
Rib," followed, and was a most able
effort. He said 1.-The highest relation
ship in life is husband and wife. They
are above others because they
are the fountain Of others. This
relationship began in Eden. There
was man made from the dust.
Everything around us is made
of dust. Adam in Eden, with its ten
thousand charms, was not satisfied. He
was alone. One may be alone in the
most crowded thoroughfare. Adam was
a bachelor, and such a man cannot be
contented. He was a society man. One
must have some one with whom he can
share his Joys and sorrows. 1t is not
good for man to be alone;' and if that is
true of man, it is equally true of woman.
Woman has right to kiss a
dog if she pleases. 1t does us
good to communicate to others.
All nature gives, and man must follow.
"Young women should try to make
themselves as attractive IS possible
what man will not look at a pretty
woman twice if his wife is not around
Beauty is not confined to facial express
sion. Love and faith will produce the
highest form of beauty, beauty of char
acter. Be as careful concerning your
beauty after marriage as before. More
honey and less vinegar would transform
many Of our unhappy homes. A wife
should be like roast lamb, sweet, tender
and without sauce.
