Annual Methodist Episcopal Conference
On August II at Puyallup the annual
conference OF the Methodist Episcopal
church of the Puget sound district will be
held. Delegates will be present from all
parts of Western Washington. and the
gathering will be of great Importance.
Bishop J. NJ. Walden, of Ohio, will pre-
side. At this assemblage all matters Of
local Importance will be settled. Various
appointments will be made, and the loca-
tions of many of the pastors may be
changed. The pulpit of Grace NJ. E.
church will be supplied, as the pastor, the
Rev. N. P. Tedrick, has gone to Olympia
to take charge of a college at that place.
The pulpit is being temporarily supplied
by the Rev. w. B. Hollingshead. He is
an excellent preacher, but it is understood
he desires to do a years studying before
accepting new pastorate. He preached
for the people of Grace church yesterday,
and they were greatly pleased with his
discourse

and cities were degenerating. He said
that Germany had almost ceased to cele-
brate the Sabbath and the consequence
was that the country was becoming god
less. The pastor brought his very ex-
cellent and thoughtful sermon to con-
clusion with the statement that God had
set apart the Sabbath as protest against
the righteousness of all ages and that if
Tor no other reason the day should be
properly observed. He said that the
world in its wickedness had always been
trying to free itself from God and that the
Sabbath was a protest against this spirit
OF rebellion. He feared that if this nation
abandoned the Sabbath and permitted
continentalism to have sway that the peo-
pie would abandon God and that the
church would be but a mere shadow and
name. He argued that a reform in the
matter should beg in in the church.

A Treat for Strangers.

Citizens of Seattle who have friends WIS.,
iting them will have rare opportunity Of
giving their guests genuine treat next
Wednesday. The ladies of the First
Methodist Episcopal church have char
tered the commodious steamer Sehome
and will give an excursion from Seattle
up Hoods canal to Lilliwaup falls, where
basket picnic will be held. All citizens
and their guests. as well as strangers who
may be visiting the Queen City, are cordi-
ally invited to go on this excursion. The
scenery along the canal is unsurpassed,
and the falls, which are only a few hun
bred yards from the beach, are among the
most beautiful in Washington. This is
the second annual excursion to these falls
given by the ladies of the church, and
they intend to make these yearly trips
one of the social features of the church.
Those who neglect to go will be the losers.

rian Co Unite Battery and Trinity
MethOdist Episcopal Churches.

-" W WHO battcFy anu ATInIty
Methodist Episcopal Churches.
Atthe quarterly conference of Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church held on
Thursday evening last committee was
appointed. consisting of John B. Denny,
A. {. Frye and Andrew Uren. to confer
with the members of Battery street Meth
odist Episcopal church upon the question
OF consolidation. The two churches are
practically in the same part of the city,
that is the northern, and it is the opinion
OF many that by joining their forces they
could become one of the strongest Metho-
dist Episcopal churches in the city or
state. Trinity for some time has been
trying to build new church, but difficult
ties have arisen that have not yet
been overcome. On Tuesday evening the
matter will come up for discussion before
the quarterly conference of Battery street
Methodist Episcopal church. 1t is not
yet known what action will be taken, but
some have expressed the view that if a
compromise can be had on location the
move for consolidation may meet with
the final approval of both churches. There
seems to be tendency now toward large
and strong churches.

RECIPROCITY In DUTIES.
Rev. Alonxo Bright on the Moral Rights
OF Different Social Glasses.

The Rev. s. Alonzo Bright. D. D.,
preached sermon last night on the Home
stead riots, before large congregation in
Trinity NJ. Z. church. He was bold in his
remarks. sparing neither party to the great
and unfortunate controversy. DIR. Bright
began his discourse by giving history of
the great fortunes that have been acquired
in this country within comparatively re-
cent years, abiding principally to Stewart,
Astor. Vanderbilt and Gould.
Such things were impossible in country
in which were not to be found the diverse
elements in population which go to make
up the people of the United States. There
must be the rich and the very rich; the
poor and the very poor.
These predominantly rich men, however,
owed some duties to the poor, some rights
to respect beyond mere legal requirements
and some found outside the spiritless stat
ute book. Carnegie was man who had
presumably left his native land because he
saw in the country of his adoption larger
opportunities for advancement than were
to be found in the country that gave him
birth. But if not a native citizen, he
should behave as one in every way. But
on the other hand the preacher
urged that the poor, the laboring
and industrial classes in general owed
cert ain duties to the rich which should by
no means be ignored. 1t was capital that
made the quick development of the coun-
try possible. The speaker had seen Home
stead when it was a corn field. Now it
was a city and it was men of wealth who
made such an improved condition posi-
BILE. In his OPT Mon the workingmen had
a right to quit whenever they pleased, but
they had no right to tell Mr.. Carnegie
whom he should employ nor had they any
right to stop men from working there who
choose to supply their places Mr.. Carne-
gle had no right to bring body of armed
aud irresponsible men into Homestead,
but even this wrong did not give the
workingmen the right to commit murder.
DIR. Bright thought that the chief fault
for the whole calamity was the result of
the desire of politicians on the eve of cleo
ton to truckle to the laboring men IN order
to catch their votes. He had nothing but
words of strongest condemnation for the
sheriff and the governor. They both
knew from the signs of the present and
from the terrible calamity of few years
ago that something dreadful was likely to
happen unless prompt and effective steps
were taken TO prevent. Yet they prac-
tically did nothing for fear, perhaps, that
each might lose a few votes at election
time.
"Unless something is done soon," said
the speaker, "Mr. Carnegie will have to
shut down permanently or let somebody
else run his business. This means anar-
chy and when We confess such weakness
we might as we'll acknowledge the failure
of American institutions"

OBSERVANCE OF SABBATH.
Rev. Alfred InwoOd Pleads That 1t
Nav Be Holy Not Holiday.

The Rev. Alfred Inwood, in the Battery
street NJ. Z. church yesterday morning,
addressed his cor gregation on T" The Sab
bath Holiday or Holy Day, Which ?"
He took as his text: " Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" The
preacher entirely discarded the discussion
of the question as to which day should be
observed because of the fact that II any
Sabbath is recognized ut all it is the day Of
rest among the Christians.
Rapidly and in bold manner the
preacher pictured the conditions of the
present civilization with especial refer
ence to the Pacific coast and showed the
gradual breakdown of the sacredness OF
the day on account of the double reason
of business and pleasure. He said that
business competition was such that by
false material ambition many men were
confronted with the proposition either
work and reject Gods commandment or
starve. That was the way that men were
getting to view this day.
Gods idea he explained was entirely dli-
ferenr. The Sabbath was designed to be a
day of sacredness, but not of gloom
raw of sunshine thrust into hfe's
clouainess. full of joyous blessing
and comfort. The speaker then pro-
ceeded to show that the consequences OF
the breaking of the Sabbath We're farreach-
ing in an ultimate effect on Christianity
because the breach of one law encouraged
breaking Others and thus the entire moral
foundation OF Christian religion would De
Slapped up or weakened.
Mr.. Inwood then touched briefly upon
the industrial and physical aspect OF the
question He urged the necessity OF physl-
cal as we'll as moral rest and SAID tha' tne

STRONG CLUB AT SLAUGHTER.
Republicans Parade and Organize With
Great Enthusiasm.

The Slaughter Republican Club, which
was formed at Slaughter on Saturday
night, has solid membership of 200. The
residents of the town were aided in the
organization of the club by delegations of
Republicans from Seattle, Kent and the
whole White River valley. Seldom hav Q
there been so many people at Slaughter.
The organization of the club was effected
with vim and enthusiasm which insures
a good Republican majority at the fall
election. Among the Republicans from
Seattle who were present were: Charles
F.. Fishback, County Treasurer Byron
Phelps, County Commissioner Fred Gasch:
Auditor Frank A. Twichell, Colonel J. w.
Langley, Frank G.. Haddock, Alexander
Megrath and William Phillips; from Gil-
man, p. J. Smith, from Kent, r. Titus,
James Colvin, State Senator Van de Van
ter, Messrs. Cox, Madison and others.
Soon after the Seattle delegation arrived
in the town preparations for the grand
parade were begun. Over a hundred
torches were brought out, but twice is
many could have been used. The streets
were thronged with men and women and
many Of the farmers from the country
were present with their families. The
procession, with about $50 men in line,
started to move at $3.50 o'clock and the
''boys" almost yelled themselves hoarse
before a stop was made at the town hall,
three-quarters of an hour later.
In few minutes the hall was packed,
the only place where there was room
enough to turn around being the speak
er's stand. Mayor Meade was chosen tenn
porary chairman by reclamation, being
nominated by John Wooding, the county
commissioner, who lives at Slaughter.
Mayor Meade made a short enthusiastic
speech and then Colonel Langley was
introduced. and addressed the meeting at
length upon the issues of the day. He
dealt with the tariff question in an able
manner, and when he finished was given
round of applause. Then Charles F.
Fishback was introduced, and delivered
the speech of the evening. Every few
moments he was interrupted by the most
vigorous applause. He praised the ad-
ministration of President Harrison as
able, sound and patriotic, and, in closing.
stated that next November the people by
their votes would crown not king but
themselves.
The meeting adjourned at IL o'clock
amid the greatest enthusiasm, and about
200 voters signed the club membership
roll. There is no doubt that Slaughter
will give solid Republican vote on cleo
ton dav

Lincoln J. Carriers EAST Mail" COM
pany will appear at the Seattle opera
house, one night only, next Wednesday
evening. This play is certainly the great
est railway play on the American stage.
A large number of thrilling situations and
realistic scenes are brought out in the
chase of Walter West. a supposed muir
6erer, by Detective Smith and Phillip
Martin, the villain in the play, the part
taken by the author, Mr.. Carter. The
chase extends from Memphis to Chicago
and Niagara Falls. During this time is in
troduced the Mississippi steamboat st.
Louis, the boilers of which explode. wreck
ing the boat. The railroad effect showing
a station masters and telegraph office,
with the arrival of a freight train and aft
erwards the fast mall which picks up the
mail bags on the fly. is said to be wonder
fully realistic, and the closing picture of
Niagara falls is a great piece of mechanical
ingenuity. The company is said to be a
very good one. and includes Mamie Earle,
May Buckingham, Helen Graham, Frank
P. Haven, Frank Owen, Charles Thornton,
John Armstrong, G. Sparks and others.
