win and Lieutenant Stileman, of the
: Hyscinth, held general Thanksgiving
. service in the Mission Tent near Union
: Square. About fifty were present,
which was, by the way, considered a
: large audience for the miserable
weather of the early evening hours.
Miss Mcintyre led the singing, which
was appropriate in selection and good.

XVII, But Thanks Be to God, Who
Givetb Us the Victory Through Our
Lord Jesus Christ" After alluding
briefly to the temporal blessings for
, which every true heart would be CRATE
full, he at length outlined The victory
that every man may gain through the
manity to the rank of sons and daugh-
tiers of God IN this life, with the conf
, dent assurance of final victory over
death and the grave, even eternal life IN
Christ. He taught that even when
heredity and environment were both
serious obstacles in the path of the hon
est heart that desires to be a child of
God, yet these and all other hIndrances
could be overcome by adopting Christs
rule, "See first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness. No man can fail,
either in this life or in the life to come,
who accepts the word of God as his rule
of faith and practice.
Lieutenant Stileman gave an earnest
exhortation based on the fact that the
Corinthians had given themselves TO the
|, Lord and that we should offer our bodies
and spirits as free-will offering to God.
This is our reasonable service. He re-
lated touching incident that occurred
in the East. A beautiful slave girl was
being offered to the highest bidder.
Two coarse, brutal fellows we're bidding
for her. Just as she was about to be
knocked down to one of those villains, a
meek looking man stepped up and bid a
larger sum, The girl looked at the new
! bidder and wondered what could be his
object in wanting her. When the bid
ding ended the new man was declared
, the owner of the girl. He Immediately
caused free papers to be made out, duly
witnessed and signed and gave them
to the girl. She now understood why
the quiet, good man had bought her; it
was to set her free; her heart was
! touched and she loved him who had
saved her, and said she had no other
: purpose in life but to go with him and
be his willing slave. So Christ buys his
people from Satan and they should love
, and serve him faithfully.
AT THE PARK.
The races at Kapiolani Park had to be
postponed on account of the rain. The
wheelmen were sick-looking crew all
day. They were complely knocked out,
some of them being SO disguised that
!, they would not speak to their best
friends, except by telephone. Then they
, said things with little meaning, things
, indefinite, things almost ugly. Harry
I, Wooten rode four miles to circumnavi-
gate the block to his back gate, for fear
of meeting some one he knew; Henry
Walker stayed home and heaped nick
names onto the clerk of the weather
the others played hide-and-seek with
imaginary visitors.
But the boys did their level best to
have the races come off. 1t was their
! last opportunity to bring in Terrill and
n Gritliths, which was SO much desired
e These gentlemen will return to San
r Francisco by the bark Albert in few
!. days. Early in the morning large
e committee of wheelmen visited the
8 course at Kapiolani Park. 1t was found
=: to be so muddy that even walking was
II difficult. Races over it must have proved
e a miserable failure. 1t was utterly i'm
8 possible to carry out the program. The
best arrangement possible under thu
y circumstances was to postpone the races
it to Christmas day, which was done.
l. Unfortunately quite number o
n people who had not heard of the post
a ponement visited the park. Some wen
n on to the gate before they were informed
of the situation. Another carload go
k off at the end Of the.track, but just thel
e it began to rain very hard and they re
Ie turned to town. Had the stores beer
n open and people on the streets, bulletin
e announcing the postponement OF tn,
he races would have been displayed abou
le- town. The boys, however, did the mex
Df best thing by informing the telephon,
