At Simpson tabernacle Sunday morn
ing DR.. Mclean preached on Christian
Ambition. The sermon was able, slo-
quent and highly appreciated by the
large audiences present. After the
sermon DR.. Mclean said he had some
good news for his hearers in the way of
donation towards the payment of the
church debt. Brother s. ". Little had
given $4,000 to be applied to that pur-
pose, with the condition that
the remainder of the indebted
ness OF $4,000, one thous-
of which is already pledged, be paid
during next year. The ambition and
energy of the church will be turned to
this end. The burden that has seemed
so heavy to this society is beginning to
roll away. 1t is only question of q
little time, come hard WORK, strong
faith snd dauntless courage and this
debt will be a thing of the past, and
with the inspiring leadership OF DR..
Mclean and his devoted aud accom-
plished wife Simpson church and its
united people will start on q career
of usefulness for which God and its
builders and planners intended it.
At the close OF the service nine joined
TIE church by letter.
In the evening the service was well
attended.

was the excellent shooting Of s. r. Smith

Speaking OF the tournament, the San
Francisco Field Sports of last Saturday
says:
We are sorry to see that so few
sportsmen OF this end of the state are at
tending the meeting at Los Angeles, and
notwithstanding the plea of hard times
and long distance, the fact remains that
the Los Angeles gentlemen deserved a
better attendance and a better appreci-
alton OF their efforts to make the meet
ing one OF the best in the history of the
state. That the meeting will be a suc-
cess goes without saying, for there sre
enough sportemen in the south which.
added to tbose who have gone down, will
surely make the meeting all that
can be asked for. But more
than this there 10 priu-
ciple at ST 9. The eportsmen OF the
north and south do not come together as
they should. Not that there is any feel
ing OF jealousy or GOODNESS in the least
between the two sections, but ON &C.
count of the long distance between the
two central points. Distance we know.
like the laws oil gravtation, is hard
thing to overcome. but 40 long as we
have state association it becomes the
duty OF every sportsman to attend its
meetings, whether they are held in the
central. the northern or the southern
counties, the only excsse tenable being
that OF absolute inability.
We sincerely hops that the southern
brethren will not think that any slight
was intended, or that their splendid
efforts in the perfection Of every detail
of the meeting and the entertainment
was not fully appreciated by the sports
men of San Francisco and neigh boring
counties, but will lay the blame where
it really belongs, first to the trip of 500
miles, and second to the hard times
which seem to affect sportsmen nearly
as much as other mortals.

The great mission that Jesus came to
fulfill was to teach mans intimate alli-
ance, through his spiritual faculties,
with God. We have thought too long
that the source OF our life was in the
physical. We are beginning to realize
that the evolution through which we
are passing is allying more and more
closely with the spiritual. We realizs
this wherever education leada US into
more intimate relations with nature.
Our present faculties are gross. Were
our sense OF vision more acute, the sights
that now remain unseen might prove
more pleasing than any We have known.
Were auditory nerve moro sensitive, the
sounds that nov remain unheard might
thrill to ecstacies before unfelt. In fact,
could we delve far enough into the ar
cana OF nature, we might even now real
ize that both body and mind are i'm
mortal, that death is only victory and
that the transmission of life through
death is but the enthronement of the
spiritual.

The seating capacity OF st. Paurs
new chmch was taxed to the utmost
yesterday morning to hear the dedica-
tory services. They were conducted by
Bishop Nichols. assisted by the rector,
Rev. John Gray, and by Rev. Mckenzie
of Boyle Heights. There were fully 500
persons who listened to the services.
The music, under the direction OF J. O.
Dunster, WAS very fine, and the espe-
cially trained choir OF 55 voices. of HON
20 were men. 10 ladies and 20 boys, was
the best thasNhas yet been heard alta
church ser 9.
Bishop Nichols took for HE text the
first of Cor. 10Th chapter, 9th verse.
'For a great door aad effectually is
opened unto me and there are many ad-
versaries." The speaker spoke OF ths
effects of society and its results, and
dwelt upon the fact that the church por-
tals were open to both new and old.
This was an occasion when they bad
come together to welcome and rejoice
and assist in the good work so well un-
der way. He then spoke OF the early

the work of the rector and the vestry.
He referred to the enlarged church ss
most etfectually opening the doors of
progress. The bishop has a very fine
voice and his style of delivery is most
pleasing. The evening services were
also largely attended.
Last evening the attendance was fully
1000. many being unable to gain admit
tance. TIE musical service was very
grand, one selection consisting of Mo-

DR.. w. j. Chichester had a very fine
audience to greet him upon his return
from his vacation. He took for his text
| the 18th chapter of Acts and the 30th
verse: "For David, after he had served
his own gentlemen by the will OF God,
! fell aelsep." His topic was the model
OF a good msa in life and death. The
most prominent thought in David's life
was service. 1t was not life of ease or
bigotry, for the record shows that he
served. Nine out of ten of the worlds
tolers today are looking forward to the
time when they will cease being eerv-
ants. This is mistaken idea
Mans normal state is always
| a condition OF labor. He cannot escape
the obligation of service. The second
element in David's life was the fact that
he served his own generation. There
are some people who are always living
in the past and speaking of the good OF
oil them that are gone and then there
are others who live too much in the
future. They anticipate what is COM
ing and give expression to thoughts and
sentiments of an age which has not yet
dawned and the reault ia that they are
misundersto TODD.
But the man who does the worlds
hard thinking and the worlds hard
work is the man who keeps in touch with
the world as it now is. He servea bis
own generation. In reference to this
present generation in which we live the
doctor made such points aa these:
That it is the generation of the COM
mon people; that it is the age of inds-
pendent thinking; that it is an in
tensely practical age.
The third element in this model life
was its divine inspiration. David served
his own generation by the will of God
and the man needed today is a man who
will make God real to the multitude.

Not quite year has passed aincs the
opening OF the rooms at 107 North Spring
street, but the time has been very pros
porous and the membership has reached
500. A hall in which to hold the gospel
meetings, and for other purposes, hss
been greatly needed, and by throwing in
one or two large rooms in this same
building the need has been met. A
very beautiful room, seating between
100 and 200 people, was opened yesterday
by praise service.
The Bible reading was by Mics Rider.
She said: "It is well to have these SER
vices of praise and Thanksgiving, for
they will better fit us to join the chorus
OF praise in heaven" Miss Rider spoke
OF the duty that belonged to Christians
OF expressing sympathy Tor those in
tribulation, of being kind and helpful to
those around who sorsly need it. She
asked of each one, "What have you to
rejoics about? So much" she contin-
ued, "that you cannot help being thank
ful and cheerful" Miss Rider closed
her remarks by saying, "Hearts that are
in Gods keeping for guidance are
brought out to the very pinnacle OF
Gods brightness. as, after the toilsome
cillnb out OF uhrk Kofgod Wo come at tuo
sum NIT to the glory of sun and sky"
Miss Warren spoke Of this great love
wherein He has loved u.s." and that ''all
things worked together for good"
Miss Hull of the finance committee
said: Gods hand has been guiding US
all through the years work. As an asso-
citation we should give thanks for Hia
promises made to us by pledges of help
have been fulfilled and our needs have
been supplied"
Miss Morse, secretary, spoke most ep-
propriately in the same line of thought.
In closing. she wi had to remind all Of
the motto of the y, '. @. A., mot by
right, nor by powe but by My spirit,
