they accented Christ, his crucfxi0n and
his rising from the dead, hands should be
ciasped with them. lie sketched the sys-
tenn of government of the Presbyterian
church, and pronounced IL perfectly
adapted to the protection of the individual
memb rs Of the church. In common with
all Christian organizations the Presby-
terian church had the great essentials of
Christian faith.
Rev. Walter ID. Nicholas, associate pas
tor OF the First Presbyterian Church, aud
Rev. Mr.. Doane and Elders Dickson and
Doane constituted the official representa-
ton of the San Francisco Presbytery.
Rev. DR.. Mackenzie was unable to be
present on account of illness. but the con-
gregation took occasion publicly TO ex-
press regret for his absence and sent him
sympathetic greeting.
Letters of dismissal for forty-nine men,
bers of the First Church and one from
Howard Church were read, and they were
received into the new congregation by re-
newal of confession and pledge of cove
nant with the church. This done, MiZpah
Presbyterian Church of San francisco
was regularly organized and established.
Walter w. Moses was ordained elder.
and Edwin James Ellis deacon. and Rev.
elected clerk for the commission, and u,
w. Kidd, clerk for the people.
EMr Nicholas addressed the congregation,
speaking words of encouragement. The
excellent work of Mizpah Mission. he
said, was well known to all the Presby-
terian churches in the city. He urged
upon the new congregation systematic at
tendance, steady financial support. and
the upholding of their minister's hands at
all times.
The benediciion was pronounced by
Rev. G. B. D. Stewart Of Franklin Pres
byterian Church.
MiZpah Church will soon begin the erec-
ton of a permanent place of worship
either at the corner Of Fifth and Harrison
or in that immediate locality. The pur-
chase of lot will probably be effected this
week Provision for the church building
has already been made through the gener-
osity of Mrs. Moses Hopkins

BOOKS AND READING.
Rev. DR.. Ollie Discourses on How
and What to Read.

Central NJ. E. Church was crowded to
the doors last evening when Rev. DR..
Ollie dscoursed on "How and What to
Read"
Though partaking in some degree Of the
nature of germon DR.. Dille's address was
an entertaining and instructive lecture on
books. A wide knowledge of English
literature and familiarity with the classics
and ancient philosophers were combined
in very effective manner with wise con-
clusions and good advice on reading. The
speaker selected for text the words from
Proverbs xiv 20, walk with wise men
and thou shalt be WISE" and also scrip
tural extract, How Readest Thou ?'
"How and what to read is by no means
an idle question, for really good books are
not issued from the press with tlshs-Spawn-
like accuracy" was the tenor of his OPEN
ing remarks. And then he gave copous
and quite familiar sayings OF great authors
regarding books and reading. Carlyle said
he wished he had been born before
Cadmus invented the alphabet Wesley
was proud to call himself man Of one
book-the Bible. Emerson would he satis-
fed with the Bible. Plutarch and Shakes
peare. Ruskin, Sir John Lubbock and
others said 100 books contain the cream OF
literature, and Ruskin went so far as to
into two books.
Nothing is 50 harmful as bad book or
a bad picture" asserted the speaker with
unmistakable emphasis. TO read OF vice
in a bad book impresses vice on the mind.
There is no need to read poor books when
you have access to the best. The press
has brought the best down from their
pedestal and placed them within your
reach.
How shall we read? Not mech anically.
nor perfuDctorily. To read perIunctorlly
is poor business. Better to think without
reading than to read without thinking.
n old your mind to your book as natter
of mental discipline. Reading without
thought produces mental dyspepsia. Bet
| ter a poor weapon in the trained hand
than Damascus blade in the hands OF a
weakling."
The preacher went on to show that the
| Greek phi osophers were original think
ers. and, continuing. he discoursed intel
| Iigentiy and effectively on the proper use
| of time. and the results of application.

OUT OF EGYPT.
IsraePs DeIiverance Pictured by Rev.
j. S. Simon.

IsraePs DeIiverance Pictured by Rev.
j. S. Simon.
At the First English Lutheran Church
on Geary street last night the pastor, Rev.
j. S. Simon, based his sermon upon the
seventeenth psalm, fifteenth verse. 1t was
largely of a descriptive nature, dealing
with the deliverance of the children of
Israel out of their bondage in Egypt and
the lessons that were 10 be learned by their
experience. The many wonders that we're
wrought during the cary march through
the desert were brought out III strong
light, and the meaning Of these wonders
to us was dwelt upon at length by the
speaker. He pictured the sufferings of
these travellers in their flight and how the
guiding hand of Providence, through the
medium of Moses. the chosen servant of
God, had safely carried them through all
their tribulatons and trials and brought
them into land of plenty.
The lesson drawn from the experiences
of the children of Israel was that every
sinner could be delivered from bis sinful
ways through the same Providence that
had safely guided his chosen people out
OF their trouble state.
The present pastor OF this church has
been located in this city only month, but
he is already great favor;te with the
members OF his congregation, and appears
10 be especially popular with the younger
portion.

Rev. F. A. Doane. The excellent choir
sang an anthem. "The Earth is the
Lord's." Elder j. o. Doane read the
eighty-fourth psalm, and Elder Robert
Dickson offered prayer.
Rev. Mr.. Doane then preached what he
called sermonette from First Peter iii. 10.
and defined the question. why am

equivalent to the question. "Why am l a

BIBLE-CLASS LESSON.
Our Acts Must Be Measured, but Not
in Themselves Alone.

In themselves ALONE.
During the past week." said Mrs.
Cooper, 81 have been told by revered
and honored teacher in one of the largest
orphanages in the State that the first thing
looked for in The CALL on Monday morn
ing is the account of the lesson OF this
Bible class. 1t helps US greatly" said the
teacher in question, "and we Prize 1t
highly" 1--WE are glad and grateful for
such testimony" added Mrs. Cooper.
"and may the divine spirit guide all our
thoughts at this hour" The lesson was
from | Cor. viii:1-13 Abstinence for the
sake of Others"
We must be willing to deny ourselves.
If it cause others to offend, was the OPEN
ing statement of the teacher. 1t is lar
better to abridge our own liberty than TO
cause others to sin. Our acts must be
measured, not in themselves alone. but &C
cording to their influence on others. Ihey
that a-e strong must bear the lnfrmitles OF

seems, large number received Christian
ity as thing intellectual, and that alone.
not as a thing which touched the con-
science and swayed and purified the affec-
tions. Paul told them plainly that mere
knowledge was one thing and that charity
was another thing. He reminded them
