OIL WELLS.

The Petition to the CounciI-New Wells
Going Down.
1t is expected that the oil men will ap.
pear before the council today with their
protest against the ordinance passed last
Thursday. The protest will show the
wrong which that ordinance will do
and give substitute which the oilme
think must be satisfactory to both the
residents OF the neighborhooda and them
selves,
Work in the Second street district has
gone steadily on and new derricka are
noticeable everywhere.
Yesterday very few of the wells were
pumping. One reason for this was the
order of the street superintendent co M
pelling all the owners whose wells are
pumped by means of wires stretching
across streets or alleys to close down.
1t is stated that some new wells will
be started during the week on Angeleno
Heights, where Messrs. Cullen, Magin-

Ye Believe In God.

Yesterday morning, by invitation OF
the pastor, Rev. A. O. Bane, the pulpit
OF Trinity M. E. church was filled by
Rev. DR.. Stevenson, Presbyterian di-
vine OF Sacramento, who has been at
tending the session of the synod in this
city. In his preliminary remarks he re-
ferred to the breaking down of denomi-
national lines and all that it betokened
in the increased prosperity Of the church
of Christ.
Selecting his text from John xiv, 1,
he first adverted to the circumstances
under which the words were spoken.
ITO u.s." remarked he, "these words are
full OF meaning. We should not be
too much given to cherishing fond vis-
ions OF the future, but only in accord
apce with Gods will should our plans
be laid. When dear ones are taken or
business affairs 60 wrong, we should re-
member the words, Let not your heart
bo troubled ye believe in God.''"
The prime difficulty with the disciples
was unbeief. So 1t is with US, and
when we see wickedness surrounding US
we should remember the text and take
comfort. He who paints the lily. who
sees the sparrow when it falls, who
guided His chosen people through the
wilderness, will surely provide for US if
we trust in Him.

Y. M. @. A. Meeting.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
tion meeting yesterday afternoon was
addressed by Rev. r. l. Coyle, d. d., of
Oakland. The hall was filled by young
men. and the able manner in which the
subject, Young Men and Tomorrow, wac
handled riveted the attention of ell
present. The address was powerful
presentation of the relations existing
between the youth OF today with the
questions of the future. The speaker
paid high tribute to the work being
done in the various associations. "It
has caught" said he, ''the secret OF
reaching man. Some think that if the
association is not going into the slums
for rescue work, it is failing in its mia.
sion. Rescue work Ia worthy of the
warmest praise and those engaged in it
are among the noblest of our men and
women. The work of the Y. M. @. A..
however. Is preventive rather than re.
formatory. 1t throws its protecting
arms around our young m en- and seeks to
build them up before they go agtray, If
it is noble to lift up fallen man from
the gutter, surely it is equally worthy to
keep young man from falling into the
mire."

rh. Peoples Church.

Mr.. Phillips chose for the foundation
of his remarks the words of John. by
this shall ye know that ye are my
disciples. if you have love one for an
other"
The speaker said that he was often
accoeted by his former orthodox minis
terial brethren with the remark that
they feared be WAS mistaken in his new
ground of faith, and that he was lacking
in LOYALTY to Jeaus Christ. Now what
is LOYALTY to Christ? Jesus said: mot
all that cry unto me Lord, Lord, shall
be accounted my disciples, but those
that do my will" "a new command
ment I give unto you, that ye love one
another"
Jesus is to be loved. however, and es-
teemed as any other man who con-
veyed great and wholesome truths to
the world. Too long the Christian
world has bowed in idolotrous devotion
to the personal Jesus. while it has
failed to recognize In practice the Christ
principle which he taught.
The speaker paid warm tribute to
the practical work of the Salvation
army in securing the fallen, clothing the
naked. feeding the hungry. Most mod
ern churches he pronounced as comfort
able places, where men gather and say
Lord, Lord. and hope through social in
huence there gained to enhance their
business.
The demands OF the twelve year old
Christ nature must be met by teachings
such as the youthful Jesus received at
the feet of Gamalial. Truth to the GUS
toms of the law, society and the rights
of men. And then truth to Christ in
the mature man meant loyalty to our
better selves, Christ within, the hope of
glory. Every effort to help the needy,
to lift the fallen, is ministry to the
Christ principle.
Christ was the savior of the world,
not in that ne had any divine connection
with God or man, but in that he tested,
and made known once for sll the trans.
cendent possibilities of His new philo-
sophy of love.
"By this shall ye know that ye are
My disciples, if ye have love one for an
other"

The womsn's Gospsl Meeting.

An unusually large attendance marked
the gospel meeting Of the Y. W. @. A.
yesterday afternoon. After the opening
prayer offered by. Mrs. Lynch, very
brief but interesting talk was given by
Mrs. P. D. Browne OF Oakland. Her
theme was that of Individual Response
bility, and she suggested many thoughts
both striking and original.
Mrs. j. M. Condit of Oakland, form
erly of this city, was the principal
speaker and made an earnest and forci.
BILE address upon Association Work.
Basing her remarks ON the fifth chapter
of Mark, which che denominatsd "the
women's association chapter" she de-
picted the fai,h of the woman who
touched the hem OF jesus garment.
"But the woman's faith" she remarked,
chad one defect. She believed Jesus
WAS able to heal her, but doubted his
Willingness to do so." Pursuing the
lines of thought suggested. Mrs. Condit
held the attention of those present
closely to the end. This lady's expert
ence in association work has been exs
tensive. and some of the details of her
work, as given by her yesterday. were
we'll worthy of attention. A large num-
ber OF her former pupils were present
and added interest to the occasion.
Mrs. Thurston OF San Francisco spoke
of association work in the northern
metropolis. after which the proceedings
closed in the usual manner.

For Evangelistio Work.


The new mission hall was opened
yesterday and the dedicstory ceremonies
were attended by q vast throng of
people, from all denominations, inter-
ested in evangelistic work. The prem
ises are to be known as Peniel hall.
The word Peniel means the face of God,
and will be q constant reminder OF the
place where Jacob received the great
blessing that 30 changed his nature.
At the early praise service at 8 80 the
hall was filed, and the services were
conducted by DR.. ]. P. Widney.
The dedication sermon was preached
ut IL O'CLOCK by Rev. P. F. Bresee, d. D.
The text was taken from Genesis 80 :2S,
and tho sermon was q powerful dis.
course on the conversion of Jacob. Trac-
ing the life of the patricide the speaker
briefly referred to the many weak points
In Jacobs character. and speaking of
the time when he was about to be met
by his brother Esau with an armed
force; when every avenue save that of
prayer was closed to him, he said:
''He consecrated his possessions tn God,
beginning with the goats, his least valu-
able property, and ending with his be-
loved wife Rachel. The final test came
when he had to place himself ON the
altar. He tarred and wonderful per-
sonage appeared to help him. This per-
sonsge wrestled with Jacob, but the
latter clung to him and would not let
him 60. There were two sides to Ja-
cob's character-two personages, 80 to
speak, and il WAS not the penitent, re-
hecting Jacob who found Jesus at Bethel
and who delayed and struggled, but the
lower part OF his nature-ths evil Ja-
cob"
g "This strange parsonage told Jacob
his name should be changed and hence
forth he should be called Israel,a prince
with power to prevail with God and
. man. We, too, should get the baptism
OF the Holy Ghost and fire, the power
with God and men, and then go out
with the message from the King and
lead souls to Him."
At the conclusion of the sermon the
immense audience stood up and. led by
4, the choir, sang beautiful dedication
hymn composed by Mrs. NJ. P.Ferguson,
who with her husband, has been for
long time identified with mission work
in the city. The morning service was
brought to q conclusion by Rev. &. B.
Shidd offering prayer.
at O'Clock in the afternoon mass
holiness meeting was conducted by Rev.
L. P. and Mrs. M. P. Ferguson. The
latter delivered an address, basing her
remarks on the words: The gold for
things OF gold and the silver for things
Of silver, and for all manner OF work to
\ be made by the hands OF artifcers. And
who then is willing to consecrate his
service this day unto the Lord
Chron:, 29:5.
The address was a strong plea for con-
secrated service. With life devoted to
God and his service things can be done
that money, with all its power, cannot
possibly accom- mplish. The work to be
done in the city was outlined and the

Tho Devil Of solfishness.

At the Church OF the Unity yesterday
morning Rev. J. s. Thomson. NJ. A.,
delivered q discourse based on the
words: If 1 cast out by the spirit OF
God. then the kingdom OF God is como
unto you. Matthew 1928.
''Our psychologists, said he. assure
us that the air is full of disease germs,
called bacteria, microbes that invade
our bodies when they grow weak and
the blood becomes poor. 1t is just as
easy to believe that our minds are the
homes of little demons from the air as
that our bodies are the victims of mi.
crobes. Christ treated the insane as II
they were possessed by devils, and he 10
the highest authority on the subject,
and science has no sneers for the doc
trine, whatever may be the speculations
of scientists. We see this principle
illustrated in the way poor people steal
and waste, to initiate vices which the
higher orders of society have cast out
extravagant dress, drunkenness and the
vicious indulgences we see around us.
The vices of Christendom are destroying
the Indians, the Chinese and the Pacific
islanders, but the better civilization
among us has exercised these vices from
the ranks. When Christ ordered the
devils out of the lunatic he ran among
the swine, and in his last paroxysm
shouted that some OF the swine were
frightened. 1t was reported that the
devils entered the swine. but Jesus was
not in the habit of torturing innocent
animals, nor did he destroy other peo-
ple's property. This parable illustrates
how people who leave good associations
and Christian churches descend into
Christless and non-religious societies."
"Christ called the spirits unolean.
Some souls gather about them filthy
stmoepheres and draw from their native
sources evil spirits and influences.
The preacher gave illustrations of
Christ's way of casting out devils from
the human soul. and urged that certain
kinds OF knowledge should not be forced
upon young people to really pollute
them. ALI the evils attending bad as
associates, evil literature, etc., were
dealt with and he concluded by slluding
to Christ's unselfahness as an example
to us. "We ought to bear our own bnr-
dens," said he. ito help others. He did
not teach us to cherish the mean selfish-
mesa of allowing others to suffer for us.
Following His example we would not &C.

to death; and if His death be essential

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Winston Republican writes that paper
that "the managers of the late Col.
Folks paper favor fusion with the
Democratic party" The correspon
dent has been misinformed. We have
never favored fusion with any party
and never expect to. We are not
larger than any party, but the princi-
pies we believe in are larger and of
more value, hence parties are secon-
dairy and should bend their shape to
suit us. To advocate fusion would be
a betrayal of our patrons. This we will
not do, and have never said a word in
advocacy of such a scheme. The party
that adopts our principles in it's plat
form and evidences the most sincerity
is the party that shall have our hum

no more to us than the brand on a pair
of shoes. Politically we are for ALI

HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU,
BROTHER1

There never was a time in the history
of the reform movement when it was
mor important for Alliancemen and
reformers to be up and doing than
nO1U.- RIGHT NOW. And there was
never a time when Alliance papers
were more respected and read than
NOW. There has never been a time
when more good could be done by our
brethren and friends in gaining friends
for the cause than TO DAY. And in
North Carolina the very best of all
ways to do this work is to get their
friends and neighbors to subscribe for
and read THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Realizing ] Ithis, and the good we can
do, and determined to do wi whole
duty so far as we can, we have decided
to make the most liberal proposition
we have ever made to our subscribers.
The proposition is this: We will ex-
tend the time of any subscribers now
on mailing list three months for
every new one year subscriber he may
send us, between now and August Is,
1894, at 81 each, in advance.

TO CHANGE POSITIONS.

The signs of the times indicate that
the two old parties in this country are
fast changing positions on national
issues. This is one of the numerous
tricks gotten up by. p~lutocracy. The
Republican party has become both
famous and infamous as a gold standard
and high protection party. However,
it has been ably and effectively aided
by the Democrats. Now the Demo
cratic party is the gold standard and
high protection party, it having, with
out outside assistance, demonetized
silver by repeating the Sherman law
last fall, and lisa high protection party,
having outdone the most brilliant
efforts of Mckinley in amending the
Wilson Tariff bill. On the other hand
such Republicans as Thomas B. Reed
and Senator Cameron are open and
avowed bi- metallists, and the Republi
can party will doubtless attack the

WARNED.

Postmaster General Bissell has sent
out a circular letter to postmasters,
warning them not to interfere in politi-
cal matters. The gist of the order is
in this paragraph:
THE influence of federal Office hold
ers should not be felt in the manipula-
ton of political primary meetings and
nominating conventions. The use by
the officials of their position to com
pass their selections as delegates to
political conventions is indecent and
unfair, and proper regard for the pro-
prieties and requirements of official
place will also prevent their assuming
