THE SERMONS AT ST. MARKS.
Image Of an Ideal Life-Why Join the
Church?

At st. Marks church yesterday morn
ing the rector. Rev. ID. G. Garrett,
preached on the Image OF an Ideal Life"
The text chosen was from Rev. xxi:16.
"And the city lieth four square, and the
length is as large as the BREADTH and he
measued the city with reed, 1900 fur
longs. The length and breadth and height
of it are equal" The preacher stated that
while the description OF the holy city, the
new Jerusalem, was picture of the per-
fected life of humanity in the church
triumphant, he would take this beautiful
imagery to illustrate the ideal life OF the
individual-a new heaven to be attained
here IN this present world. This life is
typihed by the figure OF a cube, a life whose
length and breadth and height are equal.
This. the preacher went on TO say. means
that as long as you live let your life be
correspondingly broad and gh. Long
life does not necessarily mean, however,
length of days. A man may live an un-
usual number of years and yet have q
very short life. for the reason that he has
made little of il. And on the other hand
one cut off in early or middle life may
have lived long in the sense OF fullness
Of applied opportunities. The preacher
elaborated the meaning of length and
breadth and height in the ideal life and
compared it 10 the new Jerusalem. with
its streets of gold, its gates of pearl and
its foundations garnished with all manner
OF precious stones.
In the evening the sermon was on the
question, Why Join the Church," the
text being Tho Lord added TO the church
daily"-Acts ii: AZ. The rector explained
in the first place that one really joined the
church in baptism. and that infants could
belong 10 this family of God as well as 10
the natural family. The question to be
considered IS an open conscious alliance
with the visible, organized body of Chris
tian people. The answer vas given on the
basis of the principle OF association. The
necessity of association was illustrated IN
various ways; by the family, the state and
many orders of men. Religious associa-
ton is important for two great reasons:
tor ones own sake. and for the good of
others. The latter incentive ought TO be
the greater There IS q principle IF uni
versa! impor: underlying this question of
Joining the church. Ii is the grand truth
Of the human brotherhood and the soil
q ariiy OF salvation.

A Sad Picture of Degradation.

One of the most pitiful and at the same
time disgusting sights ever witnessed at
the police station occurred yesterday after
noon when Eliza Matson, prostitute, was
brought in. She was so drunk that her
breath could be smelt from the registering
window, in the general room of the in
spector's Office, at least twelve feet away.
Her face, to use slang expression, looked
as if it had been "beaten off her." Both
cheeks, forehead and chin were black and
blue from blows and her lips were as
thick as an inch board. The whole face
had putfed-up look and her
eyes. while not looking like two
holes in blanket, as some
one remarked. had dull, leering
expression that made one shudder. When
she spoke she almost fell down and drooled
from her mouth like little baby. As she
reeled around her taken hair lit was beau
tiful once) fell over her head, revealing a
slight trace of how pretty she had been at
some time in her life. This woman is the
one that was beaten by Charles Norby a
few days ago. He is serving time for his
brutal act She is confined now as a wit
ness against c. A. Johnson and Charles
Harris, who are charged by Officers
Powers and Laubscher with beating her
also. The men claim she tried to rob one
of them.

dom" and held the close attention of the
audience for an hour. He began with the
quotation of several passages of Scripture,
any one of which would form an appro-
pirate text for sermon on the subject,
and followed by illustration of the neces-
sity of unity from individual, family and
political life. The church was a unit in
the beginning, was spoken OF as fold,
body, building, kingdom, vineyard and
house and never in the plural. divided
Christendom did not originate with in
spired apostles nor their Lord. Divisions
In the church were combatted by Paul and
John and warned against by Jesus.
ain spite of these facts. said the speaker.
"a divided Christendom il before the world
today with its claims. Good people have
tried TO persuade themselves that it is
right and that denominations are branches
of the vine and members of the body; that
authoritative creed bases are only the
Bible scientifically arranged and stated;
that We have all the unity that We need,
and that organic union is impracticable."
From these views the speaker dissented
in a pointed way. The present condition
Is not unity, is not what We need not
what Christ requires; il violates ordinary
business principles, divides families. de-
stroys spirituality and puts the stumbling
block in the way of lnquirers. Some
schemes of union have failed. Establish
ment'' has failed, and the overture of the
house OF bishops is only second TO that
effort. The federation of churches. while
emanating from good spirit With an
earnest desire for unity, may be only cor
daily received as q step in the right direc-
ton and not the elimination of the unity
sought. This must be on broader and
deeper foundation. The creed Of a reunited
Christendom cannot be written in fedora
ton. It is practicable, however, the
speaker said.
There was one divine creed Is found in
Matthew xyi:1S, namely: Christ himself;
one divine rule of faith and practice; the
Bible. not systematic theology; one divine
name; simple organization. that exist
ing IN the primitive church and prescribed
by the New Testament; one baptism Thy
immersion);. one character, and last, in
faith. unity; in opinion. liberty.

FIRE ON MADISON STREET.
John Helms Residence Rurned and
Williams Damaged-Loss 800.

The fire department was called out last
night at about 10 O'Clock for fire in two
one-and- half story frame residences at
the corner of Madison and kenney streets.
The one occupied by John Helm was de-
stroycd, together with the greater part
the contents and the other occupied by
w. E. Williams, was damaged not to ex-
coed $500. In the ruins are 81 800 worth of
jewelry owned by Mr.. and Mrs Helm.
The Helms went to church and left a
fire in the sitting room stove. In this
room the flames broke out, and before dis
covered had broken through the walls and
attacked the residence of w. L. Williams.
Mrs. Williams was the first one to notice
it. and, on running out doors to give the
alarm, saw Mr.. Helm running down the
hill toward the house. When he found
ont the state Of affairs he ran all the way
to the James street power house and tried
to telephone to the fire department, but
through some mistake did not get it.
so he ran down to chemical No. and
gave the alarm. The department re-
sponded, but when on the sceno it was too
late TO do anything for the Helm residence.
Three lines of hose were laid, and with the
assistance of two chemicals the fire vas
confined to the roof and one side of the
Williams residence, from whicB the furni-
ture was removed while the department
was at work.
Both houses are insured in The name of
Henrietta Williams with the W. L. Gag
Fam Company. the total insutance being
$500 Helm had 81, 600 insurance on the
contents. The total loss Is 81, 40 TO S., 900,
OF which 500 is on the Williams residence
and 500 on the carpets. x part of the
jewelry owned by the Helms was recov-
cred by the fremen, but a considerable
portion, including several diamonds, still
remains in the ruins.
Chief Hunt is OF tae opinioa that if the
alarm had been sent in from the nearest
bcx, which is only Two blocks distant, at
least ten minutes would have-peen saved.

Broke the Sabbath by Fighting.

Edmund Pickett, Thomas Ross and Pat
Murphy were arrested last evening by
Officer Sandstrom for breaking the Sab
bath. They are all tailors, and came to
the city on the Yves: Seattle ferryboat.
When they were coming off the boat n
difference of opinion became evident. and
an outbreak was imminent. Officer Sand
stroin was IN sight, and one thought to
fight IN the presence of a blue-coated
guardian was not policy. The Others dis
agreed. and Pickett and Ross jumped on
Murphy. Murphy held his own until
Officer Sandstrom took in the three. They
were released on so bail each.
