CROWDED CONGREGATIONS.
Services at the First Presbyterian
Church.


Church.
Mr.. Mills had OVERLOOKING congregations
al both the afternoon and evening services
yesterday in the First Presbyterian Church,
corner Of Van Ness avenue and Sacramento
street. In the evening he preached pow er-
full discourse from Hebrews vi 9: Things
that accompany salvation" He asked what
would be their opinion Of o farmer who
prayed all the time for rain. Some Of them
might be wondering what had the text to
do with that. They would see from the
context There were two kinds of earth,
men,ioncd-the earth that was prepared
for rain ard brought forth fruit and grain
abundantly, aud the earth that was not
prepared for rain. and only received the
curse of God. In the same way spiritual
blessing was a curse unless their hearts
were ready 10 receive. Ii would be better
10 have the pesiilence in San Francisco
than the greatest revival If their hearts
were not ready 10 receive. There would
not be a man in San Francisco but would
be either blessed or cursed by this revival.
He would mention few things that ae-
company salvation: First, the knowledge
OF 1t. Some people talked OF the way Of
salvation In manner that was almost
blasphemOus. Others had intellectual Ideas
about Christ from which they seemed to
think they got salvation. y man did not
know lie was alive when he was asleep, but
he was alive all the same. So it was with
Christian life. Salvation often came when
they were spiritually asleep, and although
they did not know IL was alive within them,
still 1t was there. When man held ont his
hands to Christ and entrusted himself en-
tiIey TO him that man was transformed a
new creation WAS opened to him. The next
thing was growth. They were not only
born into the Kingdom OF God but grew.
There was no excuse fer dwarled soul.
He spoke of the joy of salvation. He
wouldn't give his first view of the Lord
when he was saved, not for in
finite riches. Then there was love
for Christ, which he believed was
the correct test of Christian. Another
thing was the right influence over others.
You are" he said, ''ether filed with the
Holy Ghost to bring souls to salvation or
you are not. Which are you" He con-
cuded by inviting these who desired to be
entirely consecTatej TO God to retire to the
lower room of The church after the benedic-
ton WAS pronounced.
About 800 accepted the invitation, when
an after service was held.
To-day has been set aside for a special
day of blessing. In the morning at o'clock
special prayers viii ne offered In the homes,
and at Q o'clock in the churches. AT 10
o'clock there will be services Ia the First
Presbyterian Church, ladies' meeting at
$50 p. NJ. and the usual services at $3.50
and 7:i5.

ABOUT PAGO PAGO HARBOR.

elusive Control.
The Coaling Stations Unprotected
oualtrcugh Thinks They Ought to Be.
The Cruisers Are Going and Way.

The general impression prevails that the
United States has the exclusive right for the
establishment of coalng station in Pago
Pago harbor of the Samoan Islands, but
such Is not the CASE said Lieutenant Ed
ward f. Qualtrough Of the cruiser Charles
ton yesterday, when interviewed upon the
probability OF England establishing coal
ing station in the harbor named.
The fact is, continued Lieutenant Quail
trough, that the Samoan people will sign
anything In the way of treaty, and it is
quite probable that they may have given the
United States Government the exclusive
right 10 Pago Pag0 harbor on Monday and
on Tuesday given Great Britain a similar
right
IN my opinion, however. the occupation
OF the harbOr of Page Page solely by the
United States amounts 10 but little un-
less the Government is ready to protect
the station as it should be protected. Sup
pose, for instance, a coaling station should
be established by the United States in Page
Rage harb0r, and suppose they should treat
1t as they do the two other coaling stations
we have IN the Pacific Ocean, VIZ: put the
coal there and leave one man to guard il.
In case of war what is TO prevent Great
Britain or any other power from sending
small battle-ship or cruiser to the station,
unless our coailng stations are fortified
ana an armed force sufficient TO protect
them stationed at the points. there Is only
one way to protect them and that is
by keeping acruiser or two in the immediate
vicinity. Our coaling station in Honolulu
ls IN charge of the Consul with no force of
men, and the other Pacific eoaling station,
In the Gulf Of California, has one able
bodied man to guard it.
Lieutenant j. G. Coffin, late of Mare
Island Navyyard," continued the lieuten-
ant, was sent to Samoa recently to make
survey OF the land granted to the United
States in Page Page barb0r, erect coal
sheds and otherwise provide for the occu-
pancy OF the station. | do not anticipate
that Great Britain will attempt to establish
station In the harbor at present, and do
not care TO say what | think would
be the result of such an attempt. When our
Government begins to fOrtify and protect
It's coaling stations then it will be time
enough TO consider what the other Govern
ments may do. AT present, while the world
is at peace, we can dump our coal outdoors:
but should war occuT-well, that is gray
horse of another color"
Lieutenant QuallrOugh laughs at the idea
OF trouble III the Sandwich Islands, but
said that the port OF Honolulu would be
constantly guarded all the same The Bos-
