American temperance agitators
would not enjoy themselves in Aus
tria. A native Of small village,
after a long cataleptic trance year
ago. declared that he had been to
heaven and had been commissioned
bv the Almighty to return and
teach the peasants the wickedness
of drinking spirits. Soon the entire
village took an oath OF total abstl-
nence. The district governor com
mitted the man to the madhouser
where the doctors kept him for SIX
months and then decl. ed him sane,
He resumed his agitation, and II
a short time seven villages had Ia
ken VOWS Of abstinence. The re-
suit was that a number OF liquol
dealers to whom the government
had granted licenses refused to keel
their contracts. The district ludg'
gave orders that the dangerous agl
tator be arrested if caught preach
ing abstinence. The man has no
left his house for weeks. Deputa

peat them when they return home

SAFEGUARDS AND REMEDIES.
DIR. first Speaks Plainly on a Ques-
ton of the Hour.

Rev. A. c. Hrst, ID. D., preached on
Safeguards and Remedies" last evening
at Simpson NJ. +. Church on Hayes street.
His sermon was the second of a series on
the treatment of young people and re,
form Of public vices. He declared that the
subject was not too grave TO be considered
by any lover of home and purity. Incl
dentally he spoke rather freely about
clergymeD. including the churches.
wv hat we need as the best safeguard is
young men and women with settled con-
vlctiOns OF manhood and womanhOod," he
said. Half the battle on any question is
preparation and right movement into the
battlefield. l think there is some hope
even here in San Francisco when the
church is beginning to shake herself up
and arouse herself from the apathy in
which she is yet. There is hopeful sign
of better condition of things spiritually
and morally. The church is awaking and
preparing herself for action. l am inclined
TO believe that if the clergy of San Francisco
would for the space OF one month lay aside
their metaphysics. fold up their we'll
finished sermonettes and In plain Anglo
Saxon take off their coats and adjust them
selves to the work in hand, something
would break and something would go. An
atmosphere giving US DETER manhood
would be the result. 1t amounts to CON-
paratively little to preach gospel one day
in seven when the boy or girl OF young
woman sees all forms of vice, atheism,
immoralitv. uncleanness. defiance OF the
Bible and defiance of the laws of God sus-
tanned by law. nurtured by so-called polite
society and unnoticed by the church.
What would be the result If the thirty
days plan was carried out? There would
be a public opinion that would put bar
forever against the low dancehall, close up
crime hatcheries and prevent much of the
vice we see around u.s..

MOTHER AND SON.
Mrs. Peake Speaks on the Efficacy
of a Mothers PRAYERS.

The subject of the discourse in Mrs.
Peake's revival service in the United
Presbyterian Church last evening was
1.-The Young Man and His Molher." The
scripture lesson was taken, from the sew.
enth chapter Of Luke. and related to the
miracle of the raising Of the widows son.
The speaker dwelt upon the mothers
sOlicitude for the welfare of her child from
his cradle to his death. Her prayers al
ways followed him; and though he go to
the end of the earth, or hide in the sinks of
iniquity. or drown himself in the night of
dissipation, be could never get away from
them. The mother knew the boys inherent
weakness as no one else did, and counseled
and prayed with him 10 guard against
them.
For weakness, however slight at first, is
a germ of disease. IL it is not com hated
1t will lead inevitably to serious affl cti0n
and finally TO death. The mother appre-
hends this and her prayers urge the SON to
be mindful of It
Occasionally a mother is Indifferent.
The boy must sow his wild oats she
says, before he eau settle down to steady
man hood
God help the son of such mother"
said Mrs. Peake. His only hope is in
the greater watchfulness of God, whose
eye Is over all things, the evil and the
good. In his own time he will call the
young man, and the young man will
answer and say. Lord, it is [; what wilt
thou have me to dp?"

Corinthians, xv:5-S:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be We
steadfast, immovable, always Astounding
in the work of the Lord; forasmuch as
We know that your labor is not In vain in
the Lord"
He said: st. Paul has been talking all
through this wonderful chapter about the
resurrection. and having pursued the elori-
Gus theme to triumphant conclusion, he
turned it to this practical account.
Such course of conduct is simply to
know the power of the resurrection. We
need not think we have learned a doctrine
till we have seen its bearing upon our lives.
Do you believe in the resurrection OF the
dead? Then live and act in conformity
with this belief. To recognize the physical
features OF a man is not to know him; you
must be acquainted with the man inside;
you must know the spirit OF the man. And
so the mere acquaintance with the letter
OF the truth is of small account; you must
at the same time feel its influence and
know its tendency. We must love the
practice of holiness as much as the belief
of the truth.

the text is addressed. Two things are

A WORD TO DOUBTERS.
Sermon by DIR. Hirst at Simpson
Memorial

Rev. DR.. Hirst preached to large con-
gregation at Simpson Memorial Church
yesterday morning on "a Word TO Dou bt-
ers," taking for his text the verse from the
tenth chapter of the Acts of the Apos ties,
Doubling nothing, for have sent you. 4"
The preacher, as a preface to his SER
mon, remarked that there exists no
city in the republic where the lines be-
tween right and wrong. truth and false
hood and virtue and impurity were so
sharply shown as in San Francisco.
Nowhere is the division SO marked as
between those who love the Bible and
those high in intellectual attachments who
would take from it those truths which
make 1t most dear TO the hearts of those
who love It, Beautiful and refreshing are
the words of the text and of vast conse-
Quence TO the world was the command to
Peter TO go and minister to the centurion
Cornelius, the representative of the all
conQueTing and cruel Roman power Il
was also significant at Indicating to the
Apostle that the gospel was not alone for
the chosen few but for all nations as well.
Peter, not doubling the message, arose
and obeyed the command. Doubling
nothing is the secret of the Christians
success. The inventor, knowing the i'm
mutability of the rules upon which he
bases his ideas, doubts not, knowing that
success awaits him, the sailor too, know
ing the sun to be unchanging in it's posi-
ton, and the correctness of his chronome-
ter, takes his observations with confidence.
doubling not that the way is clear TO his
far-distaDt port.
There is no true scholarship that elmi-
mates the spiritual from mans nature. No
man is born into the world without having
his work appointed for him. The work
may be neglected, but if so the erraud Of
an immortal soul will be unfinished and
incomplete. 1t is our duty to God to give
the best we have. Even the care of the
body is duty that ought not to be neg
Iected. The body is the temple of the
human soul, and has the sacred functions.
The more healthful the greater service can
it render.
"The work man has to do may be made
manifest in single fash. or may develop
with time Its nature will surely be made
known and then forward should be the
watchword. nothing doubling that bless
ing will be vOucbsafed. Self-denial ard
abnegation. reliance and trusting to Gods
wisdom should be the characteristics of
the Christian, never forgetting that God
does not need our help in the programme
of creation, but has placed us on this
earth as in a school of training to fit us for
those divine joys which are the reward of
those who, doubling nothing. live accord
ing to his word and obey his commands"

Church deserves more than passing notice

WHY WE SHOULD BE GOOD.
Rev. Mr.. Sprague Adduces Several
Reasons for Virtue.

Reasons for Virtue.
At the Second Unitarian Church, on
the corner of Capp and Twentieth streets.
the pastor, Rev. Leslie w. Sprague. spoke
yesterday morning on Reasons for Viz
tue"
He asked how many ever questioned
why they were virtuous, and thought
most people were either good Or bad as a
matter of course without giving any def
Mite reason for conduct.
This is the reason why temptation is so
strong. 1t comes to us with specific argu-
ments, but we have none such with which
TO meet 1t. Historically the first reason
lor virtue probably was the theological,
which recognized God, the human will and
Immortality. This reason has said man
must be good because God requires 1t, and
the happiness of the soul beyond the grave
depends upon it.
IL must be acknowledged that theo-
ioglcal ldeas are experiencing great
changes under the instruction of science
and modern philosophy. But still We may
nnd noble theological purpose for virtue.
Inc God OF this living universe loves up
rightDess, and by the very laws of all
pelng the pure In heart are blessed. The
world is losing the fear of future torment,
out IL IS gaining a consciousness of the
laws OF cause and effect. and even knows
mat IL 1t is TO be happy tomorrow it must
De worthy of that happiness to-day.
another reason for virtue is the social.
Inc larger part of virtue is social. Robin
son Crusoe had but little chance to lie and
CHEAT and rob, or to be unchaste. The
social reason has always existed, but it
grows constantly larger and stronger.
There are also personal reasons for
virtue. The vlrtuOus life is simply the
complete personal life. 1t is the life of
one In harmony with all its relations. In
fact. virtue is life. All else is death.
III you would live, therefore be good.
1t is homely saying BE good and you
will be happy and an all-sufficient reason
Is this for virtue. You may not prosper in
the worlds eyes by being good The cause
OF evil sometimes seems 70 prosper, but
really, No good thing is failure, no evil
thing success Blessed are the good, for
they live And then again virtue is its
own reason for being I know that right
Is right expresses the best reason for
goodness. The moral law is part of the
universal law. Wadsworth could sing to
duty
Thou d ost preserve the stars from wrong.
And the most ancient heavens through thee are
fresh and strong,
Because the law of duty is a part OF the
great law of gravity.
Is lot this after all the larger religion
and this purpose a religious one?"
