The Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church South, situated ON Bush street. be-
tween Cough and Octavia, received its pres
ent name in 1880, when it was moved in two
divisions from its former location on Russ
street. that date being the centenary of the
origin of the Methodist Church on this con-
tinent.
The organization was effected in May,
1850, and first had temporary quarters in
the old Courthouse in this city, with mem-
bership of eleven. The first pastor was the
Rev. DR.. Boring of Georgia. an eminent
divine. Through the eXertions of DR..
Boring, house, framed in the East and
brought around Cape Horn, intended to be
used as warehouse, was purchased and
transformed to serve as a church. 1t was
first put mp on Powell street, near Clay. and
became the first church home of the new
organization. 1t was known as Wesley
Chapel
About 1860, while the Rev. Samuel Brown
was pastor, small brick church was
erected on Minna street, but the location
being found undesirable, in 1874 the present
church building was purchased from the
BaptistS; it had belonged to the con grega-

for the game, the place of honor in the Ma
tional Association matches has been con-
ceded to the ladies, who will compete for the
single and double championship for women
at the grounds Of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club from June 9th to 14th. This tourna-
ment will be followed on June 30th to
July 5th by the double championships for
men at the Staten Island Club grounds, the
double championships Of the West for men
at Chicago from July 14th to 18th, and the
single championship for men at the New
port Casino August 9th to September 9th.
On the latter dates the play-Off between the
winner of the two double championships
for men will also take place. In every in
stance the matches will begin on Monday,
but the fixtures may be changed 20 suit the
convenience of the clubs.
The tennis rage has taken hold of Ameri-
cans more emphatically than any other out
door game for both sexes that has preceded
II. Indeed, we make good deal more OF it
here than they do in England. Besides,
winter tennis is coming into vogue, the en-
thusiasts being unwilling to run the risk of
being beaten through lack of practice. The
winter gameS-they can hardly be called
matches-are held in available racquet
courts, and where there are no such courts
the game Of hand-ball suffices to keep the
player in trim. For the ladies, the old
fashioned battledore and shuttlecOck-
really the prOgenitors of tennis-is the
finest possible exercise for keeping their
hands in until the real work of the turfed
court begins. So It happens that, unlike
many other sports that belong to the sum-
mer alone, tennis does not staguate iD
winter. A week hence its deyotees will
come up to the low nets, racquet in hand,
and in as good form and playing as strong
a game as though the last tourney had
closed only q few days before.

CHURCHES IN
SAN FRANCISCO.
Three Congregations of Differ
ent Denominations.
The seventh-Dsy Adventists, the Howard
Presbyterian and the Centenary Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South.

-. HE Seventh-day Advent Church on
lsg Laguna street, near Golden Gate
.sa9A avenue, was built in 1874, having been
organized two years previously. 1t presents
a neat external appearance, in two stories,
finished off with square tower. The base
ment. besides containing a Sunday school
room, has several domestic apartments oc-
cupied by family in charge of the prem
ises. The auditorium N is nearly square, COM
fortably fitted up.
Sliding doors behind the pulpit conceal
baptistry, on either side of which is a
dressing-room, one for ladies and another
for gentlemen, the believers in the Seventh
day Advent creed holding the same doctrine
as the Baptists in the matter of adult bap
tism and performing the rite by means Of
immersion.
The center Of the wall behind the pulpit
is occupied by the Decalogue, over which
appears the texts: ION these two hang all
the law and the prophets" Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and thy neighbor as thyself." Below
these texts is seen in large letters: Love
is the fulfillment of the law"
On the left is q SCROLL inscribed with the
following extracts from the Old Testament:
"Oh, how | love thy law; it is my medi-
tation all the day." sit is time for the Lord
to work. for they have made void thy law"
A corresponding scroll on the right bears
these texts from the New Testament:
Wherefore the law is holy, and the COM
mandment holy, and just and good" "For
delight in the law of God after the inward
man"
1t will be seen by these selections of
scripture how strongly this church body
insists on the observance of the ten COM
mandmentS.
Right and left OF the scrolls are two
memorials. One, creations memorial, con-
tains the verses institutipg the Sabbath
and especially emphasizing those words
pointing to the seventh-day observance;
it reads as follows:

Henry w. Slocum Jr. is the present holder
of championship honors, having won them
In 1885, after the title had been held for seven
successive years by Richard u. Sears, who,
two years ago, was compelled TO abandon
the sport in consequence of an accident
which incapaCtated him for time. Sears
pIaying has never been equaled in this
country 1t is strong, brilliant and remark
ably even. Like all the great play yers he is
cool, and rejects the temptation to stand up
by the net and smash at the pail, even when
It seems a safe thing to do. His strong
point is mentally calculating how to place
the ball to best advantage. His stroke is
said to be not unlike that Of Petit, the
famous professional player. who has Tree
movement that most players envy. IL Is
worth remembering, too. that the name OF
Sears ranks among the pioneers OF the game
in the United States. Wien tennis
set WAS brought from England by & gentle
man Of Boston and first used at Nahant
sixteen years ago-the racquets light and
toylike affairs and the balls like the rubber
ones children play with-F. X. Sears
and DR.. Dwight were the first to at
tempt. the game, and both liked it so
much that they soon became experts.
Dwghfs skill is second only to that of the
ex-champion, whose elder brother was in
strumental in bringing the game into prom
inence
SIucum, the champion, is comparatively
new man at the games having begun as
tennis player in 1885. In that year, how
ever, with Mr.. Knapp as partner, he showed
himself capable of defeating several COED
players and gaining a place in the hnai
round where Sears and j. 5. Clark defeated
them in turn. Slocnm again met defeat in
1856 and 1887. in the latter year by very
close and exciting contest in which ID. a.
Taylor and Sl0cum played five full sets
with Dwight.
