The pastor reminded his hearers of the
three great days of mans career: The day
of his birth. the day of his marriage and
the day of his death. The birthday as the
beginning of life which should be useful,
honorable and righteous; the day of mar
riage when man enters upon a new career
and one that God intended as happy one;
the day of his death when the soul leaves
the mortal body and enters upon new
life, into eternity. He spoke of the i'm
portance Of mans birthday and how often
il is forgotten and neglected, and said that
ii We only knew when we are TO die our
birthdays would be accounted of more i'm
rortance than they are, for then we could
count our age from the end as well as from
the beginning.

more impressive by the excellent choir.

Serious Result Of Sherman Bell's Tn
expected Coming - Washington.
Sherman ID. Bell and Harvey Moore,
the young men who so nearly lost their
lives at the Seattle hotel by blowing out
the gas. are at present getting along as
nicely as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. Though they are considered
practically out of danger. they are still
very low and exceedingly weak.
III. III. Bell and w. A. Bell, of La Conner,
brothers of Sherman Bell, arrived in the
city yesterday, and at the earnest so'icita-
ton OF the sick man, telegraphed to La
Conner for his father and mother.
Last fall the father, mother and two
sons emigrated from Eau Claire, Wis. to
Washington and took up farm q few
miles from La Conner. Sherman Bell, the
eldest son. remained at Eau Claire. The
other members of his family urged him to
join them. but he would not come.
Finally he decided to start for La Conner
and surprise his folks By an unexpected
coming. He left Eau Claire with his friend
Moore. who also had the Western fever,
and how terribly he surprised his family
is already known.

thirty years ago took up the sword and
musket to battle for the causes they

will be eloquence, oratory and social en-
joyments this evening, and the veterans
who wore the blue and those who wore the
gray, who were then arrayed against each
other in bloody strife, will mingle together
in friendly commune.
An interesting programme has been ar
ranged for the occasion, and with COM
mendable spirit of magnanimity worthy of
brave soldiers, the Union veterans, under
whose auspices the celebration is given,
approaching the valor OF their former foes,
invited them to join in the evenings fes-
tivities, and the ex-Confederates have been
accorded the same honors as have been
conferred upon the victors, and peace,
harmony and good feeling prevails.
The North and the South will break
bread together and all old animosities long
since wiped out, viii be forgotten in the

WASHINGTON ALPINE CLUB.

Mountain Climbers Describe Their As
cent Of Great Peaks.
In response TO invitations sent out by
the Washington Alpine Club during the
early part of last week. about fifty ladies
and gentlemen assembled at the G. A. r.
hall, HinckIey block, Saturday evening. to
listen to number of entertaining and in
structive papers. Professor E. S. Ingra-
ham, the president, read descriptive ac-
count Of "A Trip to Mount Baker," in
which he and four others made an attempt
TO reach the summit, the attempt being
frustrated by the cloudy weather prevail
ing at the time. The members of the party
went through the usual rough experiences
of mountain climbers. and the chapter of
accidents and incidents that befell them
was told in an interesting way.
Mr.. C. V. Piper read the next paper, en-
titled s'In the Olympics." Mr. Piper has
tramped through this rugged group of
mountains several times and has grown
familiar with the fauna, fora, photography
and geological structure Of the region.
Having occasion in his essay to mention
the rivers comprised In the various drain
age areas, he ran over the curious Indian
names In an easy, off-hand manner, in
which he he ELECTED merited applause.
Miss Fay Fuller enjoys the distinction
of being the only woman who has reached
the very summit of Mount Rainier, and
in paper which she entities 1.-THE Noun
tain,n she gave in simple but fascinating
style an account of her accomplishment
of this great feat. Miss Fuller preserves
among her mementoes of this climb, q
bunch of moss which she found growing
at the top of the mountain. in spot kept
perennially mild and green by the con-
stantly escaping volcanic steam.
Mr.. Eugene Ricksecker, who has re-
Gently been appointed assistant geologist
on the state geological survey, concluded
the programme by reading paper setting
forth 'sThe Purposes of the w. A. c."
Mr. Charles A. Burnett. member of the
National Geographic Society of Washing
ton City, addressed the meeting and urged
upon the club the importance of becoming
chapter of the society he represented, in
order to have the advantage of a vehicle
for the publication of articles read before
the club, namely, the National Geographic
Magazine.
After the formalities of the evening were
over the members and their guests had the
pleasure of looking over Professor Ingra-
udIu colicctlOH OI photographs Ol W ASH
ington scenery. Western Washington Is
especially rich as field for geographic
investigation, and there is every reason to
believe that an active club can be maiH-
tanned in Seattle, the hub Of region
Astounding in places possessing great geo.
graphic and scenic interest.
There will be meeting of the club in q
short time for the purpose of electing
officers for the ensuing year, due notice Of
which will be given.

young men. attended the song and gospel
service at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation yesterday TO hear Lieutenant Tom
Lavery, who closes today aseries of meet
ings ne has been holding at the associa-
ton rooms. Lieutenant Lavery is an elo-
quent man and holds the closest attention
of his audience. His subject yesterday
was "Stand." He showed the need of
young men of today being endowed
with the strength to stand firm
at all times and TO let it be known to those
around him that he is follower of Jesus
Christ. He also emphasized the fact that
so few men had the courage of their con-
viction and the need Of manly young men
for the world of today. His illustrations
of the battle of Shiloh were of great power.
and carried conviction to the heart of the
necessity Of firmness.

The Plymouth Congregational church
was crowded to Its utmost capacity yester-
day at both the morning and evening
services.
At the morning service Rev. George A.
Tewksbury, the pastor, read the following
answer to the many requests which had
been made to him TO remain In the pas
torate of the church:
To the Plymouth Church and Congregation
DeW Fricpds: With all gratitude for the numer-
Gus expressions of desire that should continue
in the pastorate of this church, as conveyed in
formal petition, and in the vote of large ma
lority Last Thursday evening, and also in many
individual assurances; approaching the av0wed
readiness OF many to cooperate earnestly In the
work OF the church: tenderiy sensitive to the
pain which this decision brings to many hearts,
az to my own: and with none but the most
friendly feeling toward all, it nevertheless
seems best 10 me not to reconsider or withdraw
my resignation.
In Difference, however, to the wish that has
been brought to me by the officers OF the church,
to the effect that my work might be continued
to the middle or end of June, and assured that
this Is general desire, and wishing TO relieve
the church as far as possible of difficulty,
through lack of time in securing supplies,
hereby put forward few weeks beyond the end
Of this month the date at which my resignation
shall take effect.
ask that ron viii kindly unite with me In
calling an ecclesiastical council to meet as soon
as practicable, to recognize and ratify the ter
mination Of this passionate.
Wishing for the church and for you individ-
unily the abundant blessings OF Gods love in
Christ, remain, in His name, ever and cor
daily yours, GsoaGE A. TIwKsBuRY.
The text of the morning sermon was
taken from John kills. And 1, if l be
lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto Me-" The subject was the spiritual
magnitude of Christians as related to the
fulhllment of these words of Christ The

Another essential feature in the forma-

the living Christ. No philosophy can

No hand can so truly and skilfuIly guide

He. received as guide. soon nils the place

such an ideal can but degrade and lower
the character in perpetual bondage to evil
and unworthy thoughts. Christ as an
ideal mast have the effect of purifying and
ennobling the believer
In conclusion DR.. Gilbert made most
eloquent appeal to the young men present
to lay aside all false elements of character
and strive for that which, being their
eternal Inheritance, would bring them per-
petual JOY, and to turn resolutely and
courageously away from evil pursuits,
which could only end in unending self
ioathing, to the path in which lay all that
was true and worth the striving fora

failing source Of comfort and peace.
