WHAT IS YOUR LIFEP
An Important Question Asked by
Or. HemDFiU,

Rev. DR.. John Hemphill preached to his
congregation in the Calvary Presbyterian
Church last evening on what is your
life? What will you do with i?" He took
his text from the same question in St.
James, what is your life?" which is
there answered, sit is a vapor."
I'VE are apt TO read this text and grow
sad." he said. "placing meaning upon it
which the apostle never intended. The
life of the ungodly are vapors, indeed,
which pass away, but vapOr is a synonym
OF gloom or of glory, according Co its rela-
ton to the sun, and so your life may be
one of gloom or glory, according to its re-
Iation to Jesus Christ, the son of right
eOqsness."
Many semi-religious people are apt to
accept Christ as a great teacher and to
quote the sermon on the mount. but for
him, he said, Christ was a savior. and his
other sermon at the last supper was what
he loved to preach-Christ the Savior.
This answered to every problem that per-
pleXes us.
s.There, is but one life for US here" be
said, ''and it is very faeting There is
.butone law of life. and that is duty; and
there Is but one Savior, and him Jesus
Christ. What shall we do with our life {?
Lose our Waterloo and it is st. Helena !;
fail in this enterprise and it is bankruptcy
Gel IN proper relation 10 Christ and our life
shall shine forever as the morning star"

TO FIND CHRIST.
The True Way Is to Lead Noble
Useful Life.


ST. Luke's Church was filled yesterday
morning when the rector. Rev. w. ID.
MOreIand preached, bis text being from
the gospel of the day: ''He led him aside
from the multitude"
After relating the circumstances Of
Christ leading the deaf-mute apart from
the crowd in order to heal him the speaker
applied the text to times of sickness and
death. which were the leading of men
apart from the multitude. He found in
the words also the secret Of the Christian's
life, as one spent apart with Christ.
II am amazed at the answers men give
for not believing in Christianity. They
mention some speculation or dogma which
is % part of Christianity, and say it is in
credible, as if that were Christianity.
Many an infdel lecturer is denouncing
what Christian men would den0unce, and
imagining he Is attacking Christianity.
The Christian religion is the simple fol-
lowing OF the divine person, Jesus Christ.
Stripped of a thousand perplexities the
Christian faith is this, that there is in the
world to-day the same Christ who was
here nineteen centuries ago, and that men
may get from him now as they did then,
his inspiration and life.
The true way to find Christ is not to go

privilege and be the utterance of Gods
Denehcence on earth. He knows the poor
man and his self-respect. He stands by
the young man just entering into life. and

HOW TO REFORM.
By Prea ching Christianity and
Industrial Life.


Rev. E. j. Dupuy of the French Re-
formed Church gave the first of series OF
lectures yesterday evening on "The Bible
and Its Relationship With Social Life"
Taking as his text Gains words, Am l
my brothers keeper?" the preacher de-
clared that one great religious prin-
ciple has been neglected by modern
society. Man is espOnsible TO his
fellow man, who is made of the
same flesh, lives and suffers and dies like
him. The world has changed, but the
question put to Cain has echoed through
all the ages. We have had prosperity.
enormous progress, but we also have more
misery to-day than existed in primitive
times. Do we not see the most dishonor-
able means used to ruin rivals? The
growing passion for luxury and the crimes
of today are not the fruits of our civiliZa-
ton. Society is founded on an incomplete
conception, and society pays for it.
God has not placed US here to struggle
like beasts. God gave US religion, but not
religion for Sunday only. He wishes
his commands followed not only in moral
but material matters. 1t is pretended that
the law of God does not apply TO business.

TO CURTAIL EXPENSES.
Rev. c. j. Mason Retires as Assist

Rev. &. j. Mason RetIreS as Assist.
ant From Grace Church.
For nearly four years Rev. Charles J.
Mason has acted most efficiently as assist
ant to Rev. r. c. Foute at Grace Church.
Owing to a combination of causes the
financial condition of Grace Church has
not been all that its friends desire. One
consequence has been the severing of Mr..
Mason's relations with the church that he
had become closely identified with.
Before Bishop Nichols came to Califor-
MIA and while yet rector of st. James at
Philadelphia Mr.. Mason was with him as
assistant, and in November, 1890. accepted
the invitation from Grace Church to come
west as assistant rector.
While the church at Stockton and Cali
fornia streets is of almost historic in
teresl, times have changed since it was
pre-eminently prosperous. While many
OF its members are possessed of wealth
and mission and other work is carried on
with considerable vigor. the congregation
is not so large as it was and, as some
think, it ought to be.
George w. Gibbs continues to be the
head and front of much good work. but

DUCkED HIS WIFE,

a Lesson.
How an Outing Party on the Bay
Changed From Gay to Grave.
RigOletti's Triumph.

An Italian teamster by the name OF
Rigoletti ducked his wife four times in the
briny waters of the bay off the north shore
of Angel Island yesterday afternoon. II
was said he would have ducked her some
more had not her brother, who was with
the party, come to her rescue.
Rigoletti and his wife and his wite's
brother and sister-in-law left the San
Francisco shore in small sailboat for an
outing yesterday morning. They were
supplied with fishing tackle and an
abundance of bait, solid and fluid, particu-
larly the latter. They started in high
glee. They sailed and sailed and drank
copious draughts Of wellfortitied wine as
the sail merrily tapped in the gentle
breeze.
After about four hours sailing and
merry making they had skirted the east
shore of Angel Island and found them
selves off the north coast OF that territory.
By this time the fluid fshbat had been
nearly consumed and a change had gradu-
ally come over the spirit Of the voyaRers.
The merriment and ocular conversation
gradually turned to caustic remarks ana
bitter repartee. The women of the party
had taken their full share OF the we'll
fortified wine, and the agility OF their
tongues in the disputes that arose FORE

resident in the Italian quarter: Mrs.
Rigoletti accused her husband OF undue
fondness for the aforesaid Nannette, and
he returned the compliment by hurting
the name of man in her face--the name
OF man who is near neighbor.
Then the debate waxed warm and Rome
began to howl aboard that little craft.
There were violent gesticulatlons and
personal encounter, tooth and nail, De-
tween Rigoletti and his wife.
And IN the struggle and excitement the
boat tilted to one side and Mrs. Rlgolettl
was thrown into the brine.

He said the world was a great battle

tween righteousness and wickedness
Though the odds against truth and right
seemed to be great at times. be said,
Christians ought not to despair. as an
example OF what victories pluck may gain
over might, he repeated the story Of David
and Goliath.
Although Goliath was a giant II feet
tall and wore coat Of mail weighing 80
pounds, David, spindlIng herdsman, left
his fncks at the call of the King of Israel
and went forth to mget the mighty man.
With stone from mis- slingShot he felled
the giant to the ground, and then with his
victims own sword severed his head.
Thus did the Israelites conquer the Phil
lstines.
Mr.. Farrand said the story of David
and Goliath should be an inspiration to
Christians in their battle with sinners.
One thoroughly earnest man, with his
GOd-giVen power. he said, would conquer
the whole army of unbeiievers.
Mr.. FarraDd will preach again next

THE PRAYER-BoOK.
Bishop Nichols Discourses on Some
Curious Points.

Curious Points.
. The Right Rev. Bishop Nichols occupied
the pulpit at Grace Church last evening,
and, in place CT the usual sermon, deliy-
cred himself Of a few remarks upon what
might be termed the ''Unnoticed Points of
the Prayer-book."
He drew attention to the words prefac-
ing and ending the lessons for the day, and
while to the unthoughtful mind these
might seem of little Importance, yet he
pronounced them as strictly laid down in
the rubric "They stand for authority"
he remarked, ''and are not my choice, but
are indicative of that being the beginning
aud ending of particularly chosen por-
ton of Gods word. There have been
manv curious ways of marking Scripture.
Sometimes piece of wax was inserted to
mark a passage, and it is said of great
king that he used to cough when he wished
an end to be reached.
These words stand also for history.
The church reads aud studies much. The
