KNOWING AND DOING.
Christ's Example of How to Live a
Perfect Life.

At Trinity Church yesterday a large
congregation listened to an interesting SER
mon on Knowing and Doing" by the Rev.
George Edward Walk. pastor.
The text was: "If we know these things,
happy are ye if We do them"-John, xiii IT.
THE whole business of life," the rector
said. may be summed up in two words
know and do 1t was the work of
Jesus Christ to teach both by precept and
example. He taught 10 an age when dark
ness covered the land and gross darkness
the people. He sought to construct out of
such material as came to his hand a
model here on earth OF the eternal king
d ON of God. To accomplish this grand
and glorious object man must De taught to
know and influenced to do the right. And
this is the sun and substance of any life
that is worth the living"
The speaker then recited the story of
ChrStS association with his disciples, and
recalled the memorable scene where he
taught them a lesson in humility by wash
lug their feet.
The rule is for lords to be lords and SER
wants to be servants; but Jesus teaches
them by bis own example to reverse this
order and assures them that immortal
houors and dignities shall be bestowed
upon the servants OF all. There is some
the voluntary and cheerful condescension
of the great to the small. of the rich to the
poor. of him that is high to i'm that is low
There never was but one absolutely
perfect life lived on earth. and that life is
set up as the model of all lives; and the
history If that life may be written in two
words-'knowing' aud doing
What, then, is the lesson Of this wash
ing of feet? 1t means the death of un-
righteous and unsanctified ambition in the
heart of the Christian; 1t means that the
rich man shall employ his riches and the
talented man his talents for the good of
his fellow man; It means. In one sentence
the cheerful conservation Of all our DOW
ers to the good of others.

TASK OF THE CHURCH.
Its Highest Aim to Make Men and
Women Better.


1.-THE Task of the Coming Church" was
the subject of Rev. Leslie W. Sprague's
discourse at the Second Unitarian Church
yesterday morning.
After speaking of the question whether
there will be a church in the future. and
deciding that there will be a church of
some form. though probably not Of any
form now known. the speaker reviewed
the history OF church purpose, describing
the first purpose as propitiatory, the Offer
ing OF sacrifices to secure the good will of
the angry gods.
The next purpose OF the church, that of
the larger part of Christianity was TO
reconcile Goo to man. This was and is the
purpose of the doctrine of the atonement
with the majority OF those who leach it.
Another thought, not yet very old, is tina,
the task of religion Is to reconcile man to
TIE ways OF God; and this is prophecy
OF the future purpose and task Of the
church.
Its field will be human nature. Its great
text will be, what does the Lord require
OF thee, but to do justly, to love mercy and
walk hum bly, with thy God" 1t will be
a this-world task, but not less an eterna
purpose. Therefore the task of the true
cnurch Is to make better men and won en-.
IL ought to be the task of the church TO
make such characters as would secure to
the State good citizens. The coming
cnurch must emphasize the sanctity Of
lie. OF personal and social life.
The church of Christian ages has had
charity for one of its tasks. This shall

SAVAGE MEDAL CONTEST ENDED.
Mrs. Jennie Nichols Runs Up an EX-
cellent Score for an
Amateur.

Target shooting was at rather low ebD
yesterday, the only gathering of marks
men of any consequence being at Schuet-
zen Park, San Rafael. The ranges al this
place were occupied by a company of the
Third Regiment and several German
shooting societies, but Ii was evident, that
the sunshine and balmy bresztS had
drawn the majority of the enthusiasts
elsewhere. And the scoring. too. was
hardly up to the average, considering that
most of the contests were usual monthly
medal shoots. which as a rule result in
some pretty good scoring. But inasmuch
as there we're no exceptions and the spirit
of Indifferent shooting seemed TO hold full
sway, there was 20 dissatisfaction .ex-
pressed by the members of any OF the
various organizations.
The monthly shoot of Company B,
Third Regiment. drew fair attendance OF
marksmsn and resulted as follows:
Champion class-Captain Kennedy AZ, Pri-
vate Kelly Al, Corporal Carroll AZ, Private

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
The North American Church S
First Century.
FROM OTHER PULPITs.
Rev. George Edward Walk breaches
on the Lesson of Christ's
Perfect Life.

The one-hundredth anniversary of the
establishment of the Orthodox Greek
church in North America was celebrated
yesterday at the Greek church on the cor
ner of Montgomery avenue and Powell
street. The celebration commenced the
previous evening and will be concluded
to-day.
Both the interior and exterior of the
church were appropriately decorated, the
latter with flags and the former with flow-
ers and foliage. The Greek Society at
tended the morning services in d body
with banners, and invested with full re-
gala. Ths mem bers were received at the
door by Bishop Nicolas, Bishop of Alaska
and the Aleutian Islands, who bestowed
upon them his blessing. The church was
crowded with Russians, Greeks and Sla-
vonians, the various Consuls and Vice
ConsuIs being present.
The morning celebration consisted of
mass and grand liturgy. Two sermons
were preached, the first by Father Nj colas
GreeDkevitch, who spoke on the noble
and devoted life of Monk Gherman of
Alaska.
The second sermon was by Bishop Nico-
las. who gave an interesting history of the
Russian church from the time of its esta b.
lish ment in Alaska up to the time 1t was
placed on a sound footing in this city. He
Iold how, since his arrival here, six or
seven new missions had been established
in Eastern cities, and said that only re-
Gently he had received applications from
two Eastern cities asking permission to
join the church.
After the service boun tiful luncheon
was served at the clergy house. Among
the honored guests was Bishop William
Ford Nichols of the Episcopal church, who
read a formal congratulation upon the
work of the Greek church.
There we're evening services at the
church a. 7:30 o'clock, and these were fol-
lowed by children's entertain ment, which
was very largely attended. Altogether the
celebration was entirely harmonious and
