but in our Professionalism of today we
have great many popes. AS long as
we rest on dogma and not life we shall
have plenty Of believers and but little
manhood. We protest against walking
around our little mill-pond and saying:
It is the sea. We want fellowship in
practical work in spiritual things for hui
name ends. We desire the coming of
human life into character rather than
opinion. Take hold of the industrial
question and social problems with a
large spirit; with hands linked together
in earnest work. When we do this we
shall have the second coming of Jesus
Christ and rebirth of Christianity.
THE AFTERNOON.
At 2 p. m. the Woman's Conference
of the Pacific Coast was called to order
by Mrs. T. G. Severance, president pro
tenn. After a prayer by Rev. E. r.
Watson, the opening address by Miss E.
B. Easton, acting president, read by
Miss Ruth Campbell, was word of
cheer and courage, showing a year OF
good work that should be bulwark of
strength to every woman's society on
the coast. Her exhortation to women was
to rise above amusements, household
affairs and even intellectual culture, to
spiritual help and fellowship with one
another. Five minute reports from the
branch societies followed, giving an
idea of the earnest and faithful work
being done by devoted women Of the
coast.
The paper that followed by Mrs. Gal
pin, of Los Angeles, was an honor to
the women and the city she represents.
1t was brilliant in style and delivery.
A five minute paper on Church Char
tiles by Mrs. M. M. Soule, of Alameda,
showed calm serenity that comes only
from a life experience, in which a
woman has lived to her highest ideals.
The papers on Post Office Mission
Work by Mrs. B. f. Giddings, of the
charming auxiliary of San Francisco,
was revelation to the audience. 1t
told of the unlimited opportunity
afforded to the Unitarian body to ex-
tend its influence and to afford spiritual
aid and comfort to those apparently out
side of all religious fellowship. 1t
closed with an appeal to the clergy for
their personal presence at the meetings
of sympathy that includes ministers

The unspoken, self-sacriliciDg devo-
tion which illumined every line OF the
report showed all women the way to be
helpful when they bring the will.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows; President, Mrs. S.
K. Lothrop, Oakland; vce-presidents,
Miss E. B. Easton, San Francisco, and
Mrs. Ely Fay, Sierra Madre; secretary,
Miss Sophia Hope, San Francisco; /;
treasurer, Mrs. George II. Murdock,
Alameda.
A press OF business excluded the paper
of Miss Bertha Shafter, of Oakland. 1t
was announced that this paper with the
other papers, will be published in full
by the women's conference.
THE EVENING SESSION.
Turnverein hall was comfortably filled
at last evenings session, and the pro-
gramme offered several attractive fea-
lures. Four addresses we're offered to
the audience for the evenings lnstruc-
tion, all of which were of more than
usual interest. The Congregational
Movement; or, The Chasm Bridged, by
Rev. r.. M. Webster, of Long Beach.
was one of the most notable efforts OF
the evening, and foretold the religious
millennium when all Christians shall
dwell in unity, and when there shall be
but one church-the church OF Chrlst.
The speaker saw much to admire
in the Catholic church; 1t was
not as it was 400 years ago, and
