WHAT Is THE CHURCH?"
Rev. ID. Hanson Irwin ExtoIs PRINT
tive ChriStianity.

Rev. D. Hanson Irwin delivered the second
of series of lectures on "What Is the
Church?" yesterday evening at ST. Johns
Presbyterian Church on California street.
Speaking Of the changes on primitive Chris.
tIanity, he said that we could not regard them
other han as corruptions BY being modified
Christianity was losing much of its regenera-
tive power. 1.-THE word church as used in the
Scriptures means an assembly of the people Of
God. All saints In heaven and believers ON
earth are styled the church. and so the Chris
tians, though composed OF multitude OF con-
greealions, may be regarded as One-united by
common belief.
ut cannot be denied that government existed
In The apostolic church, that there were some
whose duty II was 10 rule. no less than there
were others whose duty IL was to yield loyal
obedience. and since this state OF things ex-
isIed there must have been some settled form
of government. 1t Is, however. matter of
apostolic policy that prevailed In the early
church. /. Is not given In any distinctly de-
fined form in the Bible, but by careful study
we can discover the main principles Of he
apostolic church. The word of God teaches
church government as 1t teaches morality; IL
does not inter- into details.
1T becomes our duty therefore TO ascertain.

pies of church government among The primitive
Christians. aud also To discover which mod rn
church best embodes IN its government most
OF The apostolic principles"
The lecture concluded with the statement
that the CUES tons raised would be considered

| Closing services Of the Woman's Con-
gress of Missions were held last evening
in Plymouth c. ngregationai Church. on
Post street, near Buchanan. The church
was crowded to the doors, and largely by
, women who have taken an active part, or
at least sincere interest in the Congress.
Rev. DR.. Williams, the pastor, conducted
the services, in which he was assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Higgins. pastor of the Sweden
borgian Church. After dismissing his own
congregation at Simpson M. E. Church.
Rev. DR.. Hirst went to participate In the
congress services, but arriving late be took
no part. 1t was his intention to deliver
brief address to the women and their
work, but DR.. Williams spoke in this
direction.
Rev. DR.. Hutchins of Los Angeles
preached sermon on Patent Mora!
Power, Its Development and Use." His
text was from Matthew: "To one he gave
five talents, to another two talents, to an
other one talent to every man according to
his several ability" H. held that il is sinful
to say one has no latent talent, because God
has given all latent power. according to
his several abilities, as the text stated.
This power should be developed in fulfill
ment Of human destiny and striving after
the higher spiritual life. In regard TO the
women who were participants In the mis-
sion congress, DIR. Hutchins said the latent
ability should not be dormant, and there is
work to be done, more especially in work
at home in San Francisco. If there was
any latent moral power there thought to be
DEVELOPED 10 it's fullest extent. and then
its use should be directed In proper
channels.
Dr. Williams addressed few words TO
the congregation on the congress, express
ing satisfaction regarding the congress
itself and still more that the closing serv-
Ice was held In his church, which repre-
sents the oldest congregation in America
and is named after the Plymouth fathers.
He also congratulated the women, to
whom he gave his blessing.

A NEW PASTOR.
Rev. F. L. higgins Delivers an In
trOductOry Sermon.


A large audience greeted the Rev. F. L. HIg-
gins, who has been called'to the pulpit of the
Swedenborgian Church in this city. which the
late Rev. John Doughty so long and ably filled.
Mr.. Higgins was reared a Free-will Baptist
and educated for minister Of that denomina-
ton at Hillsdale College. Michigan, but after
preaching for two years In that church he be-
came converted % the doctrines of the Sweden
borgian or New Jerusalem church and took a
course OF study In The Swedenborgian Theo-
logical School in Boston. His first new church

that 1t was love ana not mere creed
or simply a distinctive formula OF faith
which must distinguish new churchmen
as true and real disciples of Christ. He de-
clared that all discussions In the Christian
church arose from emphasizing articles OF be-
lief and forgetting that IL was love for one an
other which made them Christians and Christ
like.
Closing, he said: when mankind shall be-
come wholly permeated by this regenerated
love to one another, Christ himself will be re-

MERELY AN APOLOGY.
Most Sermons Largely to Blame for
InfideIitV.

Rev. George Edward Walk delivered SER
mon AT Trinity Church Yesterday on "Ihe
Foolishness of Preaching" He chose text
from First Corinthians i:21: 'For after that In
the wisdom Of God The world by wisdom knew
not God. IL pleased God by the foolishness OF
preaching to save them that believe"
what the apostle means Is that the means
which it has pleased God 10 employ for the
salvation of the world seem very foolish and
inadequate as judged by worldly standpoint.
I'm my opinion" said the speaker, "the
pulpit is largely to blame for the pre-
vailng intidelily and godlessness Of
the masses of the people. large
proportion of the sermons OF the day seem 10
