DIFFERENCE OF MINDS.
1t Is Greater Than Extremes Of o.

1t Is Greater Than Extremes OF Out
ward Appearance.
Rev. DR.. Stebbins delivered an interesting
discourse last evening at the First Unita-
rian Church, taking as the theme of his ser
mon the words of the prophet: 81 am
debtor both to the Greeks and the barba-
rians."
His introduction was to the effect that a
religion for the world must be religion for
all changes Of society, for all sorts and con-
ditions of men, for the few and the many,
the weak and the strong, because God is the
author Of religion and of the world, and it
has been SO since the beginning.
1t has no country no more than gravita-
ton has a country. 1t has dealt with power
and poverty, distress and sorrow, the in
telect and freedom.
Continuing in his discourse DIR. Stebbins
spoke of the assertions made by some men,
who understood religion very strangely, that
1t was dying out of the world and would
have disappeared at tune already past.
But that age has come and religion is as
much needed now as ever. / am with you
to the end of the world"
The illustration of the text was the divis-
ion made among men. but according to the
prophet this separation, which divides out
ward conditions, is not so vast as that which
exists in mems minds. Christianity never
misses the issue; it never gets befogged in
minor facts; it takes the citadel of the mind
and recognizes that the difference of men is
not In their outward appearance, but in
their mind. The outward distinctions are
not so strongly marked as in the mind. The
contrasts of the minds of men are greater
than the extremes of outward appearance
but not so great as between those who can
know and see ana those who cannot know
or see. The difference is between what one
class sees and what the other class cannot

Notes.
Editor Morning Call. "This is a glorious
raiD,' is the exclamation heard on all sides.
Farmers, fruit-growers, vegetablemen and
merchants all unite on this point, that this
timely downpour is of incalculable good to
the valley, and wasn't it downpour No
defective roof escaped and many were the
unthought of leaks discovered the next
morning. Three inches of rain fell between
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and o'clock
Wednesday m0rning. Thursday and Fri
day the storm had apparently cleared away.
and our people fearful OF what the distant
clouds portended were hurrying to get their
winter stores and Christmas goods, SO that
our streets presented the appearance of a
circus day, much to the delight OF our mer-
chants.
Several years ago a heavy rain set in and
continued for the whole week preceding
Christmas. Streams were swollen, roads
were impassable in places, and the result of
procrastination was that merchants were
left with large stocks of holiday goods on
hand and many stockings we're left untitled.
Since then the wise parent takes time by
the foreloek, so to speak, ana our dealers
and the children are correspondingly happy.
This rain has been sufficient to start
every plow in the county, the thrifty hus-
bandman has improved the pleasant
weather by repairing his fences, putting
new hinges on his barn-doors, strengthening
the topping shed, etc., and can now follow
his pillow with no thought of duties left un-
done, and with pleasant visions of the har-
vest to come.
The sympathy of the whole community

unpleasant it was so greatly needed that
no one has minded the slight inconvenience
it has entaled upon US.
No small amount of improvement is going

Mr.. Gibbons is also laying a new sidewalk

longed lair weather, have fingered unwout-

time by the rain, but will be resumed at
once The vintage has, afterlall exceeded
expectations this year, and large amount
of wine has been made hereabouts, the
Gallegos Company alone having made over
100000 gallons. They have been very sue

soon be learned by any other man in the
