DUTIES OF CHRISTIANS.
They Include Active War Upon All
Kinds of Evil.


Rev. William II. Moreland preached a
rCusing sermon TO large congregation at
ST. !.uke's Church yesterday. The text
was St. Luke xvi IS, THE children of this
world are in their generation wiser than
the children Of light" He explained the
story of the unrighteous steward in the
gospel for the day, showing how the man
was commended. not for his dishonest
tricks, but for the foresight, wit and energy
he displayed.
The main trouble with many Christians
is that they do not know their business.
THIS is not to sing hymns and kueel on
soft cushions, but to spread the kingdom
OF God. The Christian is the sworn enemy
of every social evil, of every wrong and
injustice that afflicts humanity. The king
dom of Christ is not far-otf city, where
saints and people who wear white robes
and crowns live. 1t means city close at
hand, where sinners are. Where some
people have no clothes to wear. Where
poverty and crime abound. Thy kingdom
come means the reign of Christ over the
business the politics, the amusements, the
life of San Francisco.
"a thousand evils exist only because we
have become accustomed to them, and
imagine they must always be. Jesus
Christ is GODS champion against all evils. "
Among the iniquities against which some
men are to wage war, the speaker men,
toned the saloon, the Tottenness of city
governments, the gambling curse, the per-
jury frequent in our courts, the leadership
of votes. Our business is 10 fill every re-
latiOn of human life with the principles of
Christ. until righteousness, justice and
love shall reign on EARTH"

tons, or like our mu tual life-lnsurance
societies. Every mber OF such an asso-
citation gets coffin and burial clothes
when he dies, and the not having these is
considered greater calamity than death
itself To-day the dead in Canton are
carted out and disposed of in all sorts of
ways, and the greatest trouble is found in
getting rid of them Often the pallbearers
who are paid TO carry the collins to the
grave are stricken with the dread> disease
on the way. and OF the Tour who start out
with the body only one or two return.
There are not collins enough for the
grown persons, and the children are being
buried in baskets or wrapped up in pieces
of mating. In some places the babies are
not buried at all and the baby-tO wers are
full. These baby-towers you will find all
over China. They are little buildings.
with windows high up In the root. The
ba bies are laid on the windows and are
pushed inside TO decompose as they will.
l saw, near Shanghai, the bodies of babies
thrown out upon the roadside, and such
corpses are often left by the poor for the
dogs 10 eat. To-day many of the dead at
Canton have not a bural-plat, and their
coffins are left on the top of the ground.
This, in the case of such an infectious dis
ease as the black plague, cannot but be of
great danger to the rest of the people.
and the plague is said to be steadily spread
ing over the surrounding country. Some
OF the collins are Theoretically sealed by
vanishing them again and again with
sort of lacquer varnish, and, as the wood
is often four inches thick. in ordinary
times they do not cause much trouble
from their offensive smell. Now, however,
the haste with which the dead are dis
posed Of does not admit of such treatment,
and the very air about Canton is laden
with the pestilence. The richer Chinese
of the city have been doing what they
could to relieve the distress, and there are
number of charitable associations which
are aiding in the disposal Of the dead. At
one dispensary alone 2000 collins have
been given awav, and it is estimated that
up to this time 60. 600 collins have been fur
Dished by such associations

The devotion of the forty hours adora-

held once a year, was opened at IL A. NJ.
Yesterday in St. MaTY's Church, on Cali
fornia street, with solemn services. A
very large congregation was present.
Rev. T. Larkin celebrated solemn high

Rev. P. Griffin sub-deacon. Accompany
ing the service an excellent choir sang

balanced, and with strong chorus pro-
duced a splendid effect. Miss Marie
GeOrgiani played the organ. interpreting
the music in its exquisite flights of feeling
and ueauty with refined taste. SO the
music was OF a remarkable quality and
we'll adapted to the ceremonies.
The affairs and sanctuary were elegantly
decorated with flowers, palms and cande-
labra, among which were some handsome
floral set pieces Of different designs.
Rev. P. Mulligan preached on the mys-
terry of the sacrament. taking his text
from the Gospel of ST. John. where the
words OF Christ occur, This is my body;
this is my blood" His sermon was log-
cal and fervent address, which impressed
The congregation deeply.
After mass benedlctiOn was held and
the sacrament was exposed FOR alteration.
In the evening there were solemn benedic-

HOW TO PREVENT STRIKES.
DR.. HemphilI Suggests Copartner-
ship Between Capital and Labor.

ship Between Capital and Labor.
Rev. Dir. Hemphill preached at Calvary
Presbyterian Church last evening on
The Struggles Between Capital and
Labor" He chose as the text part of the
twenty-fourth paragraph of the forty-ffth
chapter of Genesis: "See that We fall not
out by the way"
DR.. Hemphill said it was easy to see
that capital and labor had had very seri-
Gus falling out as shown by the great rail-
road strike that for weeks paralyzed half
of the industries of the country. Never
theless he said he did not believe condi-
tons were so bad as they were painted by
the pessimists and he thought every va
1riotic American had much for which to
feel thankful. The problem was to dis
cover a remedy for existing conditions.
b. DR.. Hemphill said strikes were as old as
ahe hills, dating back even to the four
feenth century. when in the reign of Ed
ward III Of England the stagnation of
business became so disastrous that Par
1iament passed law compelling any per-
son under 60 years OF age to work for any,
body who offered to hire him. In latter
days, however, the right to strike or re-
fuse to work has been recognized as God
given, but its wisdom has often been ques-
toned.
The speaker discussed several methods
of improving existing conditions. and told
why he thought they we're without value.
He said that when men strike for higher
wages they usually win because they usu-
ally quit work when times are prosperous
and tie employer can better afford to grant
their demands than 10 let his capital lie
idle. When men strike against a reduc-
ton in wages they usually lose because
times are dull. and capital can better
afford to stand still than to operate at a
loss. On the whole. he said, strikes had
proved a poor remedy for righting the
wrongs of capital against labor.
The methods of anarchists and socialists
were declared equally inefficient and more
destructive of human liberty. Arbitration,
he said, was all right in theory, but so far
had failed in practice. He pointed to a
co-partnershiD between capital and labor
as the method most likely to accomplish
the desired result. He said if labOrers
were given their just share of the profits
accruing from their toll they would never
strike and would have greater incentive
10 work nscienuously.
