Notes of Various Trades.

Quite number OF carpenters are idle Just
now, out the bulk of them appear TO be new
corners in the city. There is a disposition on
the part of employers here to give the cider res
ioenn the first show for work. This is appreei-
aleo oy the unions, as ii tends to discourage
isDor immigration, and in this way keeps the
numoer OF idle men down TO s minimum.
Though the coast seamen sympathize with the
miners in their present difficulty, and would
PROBABLY be willing TO help them out in every
way possible If they thought they could carry
their point, they have been made 10 suffer ua-

In the lead in point of difficulties it has had TO
handle the past few months This 10 due TO the
TACT that II has TO deal with three times as many
employers as any of the other unions. and to add
10 the complication, it is q yonng organization
ana contains but comparatively few members
skilled in the Work OF organization.
The stonemasons, who have heretofore been
members OF the Bricklayers' union, have been
organized into a local union of their own by
Edward Wallace. There were forty charter
members, and the union has been attached TO
the International Union of Brickiayers and
Stonemasoas.

gregation How to Find Comfort.
The new "Church of the Strangers" con-
Quoted by the Rev. Benjamin Parsons, in CHS
holm's hall, Front street, was largely attended
yesterday, and the new society Is becoming
more popular with every meeting. The music
was excellent at the services, the choir being
one of the best in the city. 1t is composed as
follows: Mrs. E. B. Parsons, soprano: Mrs.
Jossnhans, alto; Mr.. Siegley, basso; Mr.. Robert
Shaw, tenor; Mrs Dr. Newlands, organist.
Rev. Parsons took his text from Hebrews Tvs
-"For we which have believed do enter into
rest" He reminded his hearers of the causes of
unrest and said there comes O sense of sin and
dread of punishment; that there 10 q conscious
ness of the guilt OF sin and of the bondage of
sin; that for the unrest produced by all of these
God provided rest. For the guilt of sin there is
the rest of Christ's forgiveness; for the bondage
of sin there is the rest of conscious deliverancs
through the blood of Christ and the powers of
the Holy Spirit; for the dread Of punishment
there Is the rest of justification, hence there il
condemnation to them who walk after the
Spirit.
among the causes of unrest are over-anxiety
about secular matters. For this oppressive IN
rest the blessed assurance which Christ makes
are present rest" Among the causes of dis
quiet the preacher mentioned self-wiu and OBJ
stinacy, and he called attention to the disparity
between our endeavors TO do good and the re-
suits. He said that in the words of Christ there
is a deep and lasting rest such as the world can
never give and should never be suffered TO take
away.
He spoke of empty homes, blighted hopes.
sickness and penury as causes OF unrest and
compared them to . trscklsss, weary, watsrless

THE sAvIoR's TEARS.
Necessity OF Working for the Salvation
OF Ones Soul,

Rev. Father F. Y. Prefontaine conducted mass
a. the Catholic church, corner South Fourth and
Washington streets. II was the ninth Sunday
after Pentecost, and the lesson related to the
triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem. Rev.
PrefontaiDe dwelt upon the fact that the Savior
wept before entering the city. Allsgorically He
wept, not only for the city but also for the
spiritual defects of the souls OF the inhabitants
The lesson showed the necessity of working for
the salvation of each ones soul. There were
three elements, he said, necessary to salvation.
These were time, viii and grace. Those that
delayed their conversion until the last
moment could not calculate upon when that
moment would arrive. for time was but the sum
OF years, months, days and minutes sad sec
onds. viii was another illusion on the part of
those who DELAYED, because the passions do not
grow weaker, but on the contrary grow stronger
And supposing we had the time and the will,
and do not utilize them, can we then depend
upon the extraordinary grace of God when we
defer our conversion until the last moment? 1t
is presumpiuous TO expect God to work mira
Gle al the asst moment.
Rev Prefon;ane ended his discourse with an
exhortaiiou 10 his hearers TO go to work immedi-
ately AMI not delay their conversion.

ANU EMENTs.
"The Marble Heart" Tonight.

Seattle theater-goers should show their appre-
citation of the enterprise displayed by the Cor
dray management by attending en- masse the
frat performance of "The Marble Heart" To
the casual observer there is little significance at
tacaed to the production OF play OF SO lofty
standard by a stock company which changes It's
title role weekly, but TO the critical observer
there is much that calls for uustinfed praise
and keen appreciation. The representation re-
quires splendid scenic effects ana gorgeous cos
tunes, and the management and company have
taken all precautions and made all necessary
preparations for realistic production Those who
take the trouble TO reflect will once be struck
with the expense and study entailed by present
ing such an attraction, and will be led to
worthy acknowledgment of the efforts made TO
instruct and amuse them. The dialogues of the
drama are brilliant and the characters well con-
ceived. The dramatic action is continuous, and
the story 10 intensely absorbing. The moral tone
is refined and eieyating. successful week .
run is prophesisd. as there is everything TO war
rant it.

had formed q wrong impression OF wealth.
What the Lord meant oy treasure and what thu
world meant, were different things. The world
in seeking gold, he said, had 20 pay more than
IL WAS worth. N.nety-s seven out of hundred
of the California gold-hunters fail ed
In their object or paid more TO get
the gold than IL was worth. But
God meant higher veslth-s wealth OF charac-
ter-s spiritual credit laid up in heaven. Re-
ligion, If there was no more 20 il than that in
this world. would also cost more than IL was
worth. but with 9 future life in view, the Chris
