THE RUNNING MADMAN."
His Action Discussed at Emmanuel
Church by Rev. j. G. Gibson.

His Action Discussed at Emmanuel
Church by Rev. j. G. Gibson.
Rev. ]. George Gibson preached stir
ring sermon to a large congregation at
Emmanuel Baptist Church Sunday even
ing. After singing barytone solo, "'Tis
Only Little Way" DR.. Gibson took as his
text, HE saw Jesus far off, he ran and
worshiped him." Mark We. The preacher
discussed the mans position. 'You are
far off from God he said, "but you do not
want to be. You are not a big sinner, but
your heart condemns you. You do not
doubt Gods existence. Perhaps your feel
ing OF far-offness comes from knowing God
has been good to you and that you have
not been faithful to him. Then you are
not so young as you were. You used to
pray, but you are too far off for that now.
Then, perhaps there are evil things in
your life that make you ashamed of your
self.
Secondly, there were advantages in this
mans position. In all lives there is
CLEAN OF hope Even Dante could make
very good poetry out of such a subject as
hell. This man saw Christ. To see was
better than not to see. You believe there
IS such person. This is better than deny
ing his personality To know he lived is
better than not to know. Then, though
Ia vi, IiC ileii Vic pIcSSlOn Jesus COulu
help him. This is better than thinking of
Christ as an enemy. You believe he loved
men. This is better than sneering at reli-
gion, seeing no God in nature and no Son
of God in history.
Thirdly, this man changed his posi-
ton: He ran to Christ. What was his
motive? Murder, perhaps His motive
has little to do with his finding Christ.
Many man has made rush to destroy
Christ and in that rush become Christ's
friend. We can never tell how things are
going to turn out when God has anything
to do with them. Then he worshiped
Christ. The worship could not be so in
telligent as that of the apostles, but Christ
accepted it. He saw the mailman coming
and was ready to receive him. Sometimes
kindness tames the mad. Jesus accepts
when we give the best we have and do the
best we can. Oh, wasted life! Oh, broken
heart! Oh, my God, can it be true or am /
dreaming? The Fathers arms are around
me, and there is the happy essence of
thousand kisses in that one imprinted on
the mans rough cheek"
AT the close of the sermon the rite of
Christian baptism was again administered.

livered before the Presbyterian Ministerial
Union by DIR. Farnham of Shanghai,
China. While speaking highly of the in
dustry and law-abiding spirit of the lower
classes in China, he scathingly rebuked the
Government and the mandarins, declaring
the Government to be nothing but legally
organized system of robbery and oppres-
sion; THE Chinese he said, "show their
wisdom in not fighting for such rulers,
who are not worthy of the name of gov
eminent"
During Lent the usual meetings of the
clerlcans have been turned into devotional
exercises presided over by Bishop Nichols.

ALAMEDA.

The congregation of the Park-street
Methodist Church is aroused over a bill
introduced in the Assembly which they
claim will seriously affect the liquor traffic.
Rev DR.. Bovard has requested every mem
Der of his congregation to write to Senator
Beard and Assemblyman Waymire, declar-
ing their strongest protest against the pas
sage of bill 246. Rev. DR.. Bovard S objection
is that section q provides that no arbitrary
or unequal license tax shall be levied upon
any business. He looks upon this section
as big loophole. Section 80 is also OBJ
iected to, which provides that the Super
visors shall not have the power to with
hold license from any business hitherto
authorized by law since 1889. There is a
strong feeling against the proposed bill.
Electric Inspection.
The Committee on Electric Lights of the
City Trustees are not DESTROYS of accepting
the $4,000 incandescent plant until after a
thorough inspection by an expert on cleo
trical apparatus. George p Low, the con-
sulting engineer of the Board of Under
writers, and two assistants are making
thorough inspection and Will submit a re-
port. The Trustees repose much con-
tidence in Mr.. Low and his report will be
awaited with interest. The incandescent
electric lights are being rapidly intro
duced. However, there are number of
the merchants who object to paving the
cost of wiring their stores and have a
petition before the board asking that the
city stand the expense of wiring, but there
is little likelihood of it being received
favorably.
Lighted by Electricity.
Chestnut and Morton street stations on
the narrow gauge are now lighted with in
candescent electric lights. Grand and
Willow street stations on the broad gauge
are also being wired.

McKenna granted temporary restraining
order the same day. The arguments were
set for Yesterday at IL o'clock and at that
hour nearly all DISAPPOINTMENT insurance
men in town were present. When the case
was called s. NJ Shortridge asked for a
the vast territory that had to be covered
and the difficulties encountered in prepar-
ing in advance atfidavits that a witness
could truthfully certify to.
cit would be different if the matter was
local one" continued he. ''Then the
case would be a comparatively simple one,
but in this instance hundreds of insurance
agents are being intimidated and it will
take time to get their testimony
''The companies who are the defendants
in this suit are being damaged in their
business and the argument should pro-
ceed," said Attorney Coogan. mo bond
has been given in the case, and the injunc-
ton seems to me little extraordinary
"Will the gentleman please take note
that his clients are restrained from doing
an unlawful and wrongful thing?" re-
torted Attorney Shortridge. "Our rights
are the ones that are being invaded, and
we should be doing the protesting and not
you. If your clients are doing a legitimate
business let them go ahead, but we are act
ing in good faith and we desire to Jay all
the available facts in the case before the
court
Judge McKenna cut the discussion short
by postponing the hearing of the argu-
ment until this morning.
A somewhat similar fight to the one in
progress here is going on in Iowa and
Texas. In the former verdict was given
against the combine for running an agents
business. In Seattle the Board of Under
writer's has passed resolutions strongly
condemning the coercive policy of the
uorin,

ress, and the local papers have taken up
the cudgel to awaken the men of money.
One local journal says: "There are selfish
and tight-hsted persons in every COM
munity and Oakland has her full share of
them. Many of these regard it as a GER
tainty that the new road will come to oak
land and so they refuse to subscribe. They
calculate on deriving all the benefit with
out putting out any money. They expect
to prosper at the expense of their more
liberal neighbors."
Judge Tricks Hot Words.
Judge Tricks decision by which he Or
dered superintendent Bowling to deliver
up to Assignee Chetwood the 1920 shares
of California National Bank stock which
Soap King" Thomas had given him for
safe keeping, would have made the Soap
Kings" ears tingle had he heard them.
Judge Prick said: sit appearing to the
courts satisfaction that the assignment of
Thomas to Bowling was made without con-
sideration, and was made for the sole pur-
pose OF preventing said stock from coming
to the hands of the assignee and to defeat
pro tanto the law and this court and these
insolvency proceedings, and that the as
Segment was not in good faith, but was
mere fraudulent sham resorted to for pur-
poses of delay and to defeat the insolvency
proceeding"
Ousted Because of Politics.
c. E. Gardner, who has been employed
by the Southern Pacific Company, has
been dismissed, he claims because he pre-
sided at Peoples party meeting at the
Tabernacle
Mr.. Gardner makes complaint because
he says the man under whom he worked,
Yardmaster W. B. Ludlow, had also APP
peared as vice-president at a political
meeting. He thinks that he has as much
right to go into politics as his superior.
Settled Out of Court.
The case of Mrs. Maud Johns VS.. Samuel
j. Johns Sr. for $25, 900 for alternating the
affections of her husband, was dismissed
IN Judge Tricks court yesterday, the par
ties having concluded to settle the case out
of court.
In her complaint Mrs. Johns alleged
that she was married to Samuel J. Johns
Jr. on the 9th of May, 1889. The father
was not pleased with his sons marriage
and has tried to turn him against her by
saying that she was a person of loose
moral character and was in the habit of
taking improper liberties with men, and
was not fit or proper person to be his
wife.

Mr.. Hawthorne Was Satisfied.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind hearted
man as well as great novelist. While he
was consul at Liverpool young Yankee
walked into his office. The boy had left
home to seek his fortune, but evidently
had not found it yet, although he had
crossed the sea in search Homesick,
friendless, nearly penniless, he wanted a
passage home. The clerk said that Mr..
Hawthorne could not be seen and init
but was trying to steal a passage.
The boy stuck to his point, and the clerk
at last went to the little room and said to
Mr.. Hawthorne:
Here's boy who insists upon seeing
you. He says he's an American, but /
know he isn't"
Hawthorne came out of the room and
looked keenly at the eager, rudy face of
the boy.
You want passage to American
eyes, sir"
From what part of American"
Omitted States, sir"
'What State?'
New Hampshire, sir"
"Town?"
Exeter, sir"
Hawthorne looked at him for minute
before asking him the next question.
''Who sold the best apples in your
town."
"skimmilk Folsom, sir" said the boy,
with ghstening eyes, as the old familiar
byword brought up the dear old scenes of
home.
Its all right, sir" said Hawthorne to
the clerk, give him a passage. Detroit

The Winter Completion.

The first step toward meeting the changed
requirements of the season is the purchase
OF some benzoin and rose water and cold
cream. Lemons should have their place on
the dressing table as well as in the pantry.
Every night after the candidate for charm
ing complexion has taken her hot bath and
washed her face in hot water and with very
pure soap she should rub on little clear
lemon juice. AS lemon juice not only
whtens but a dries the skin, cold cream
should be gen, y and thoroughly rubbed i'll
when the face is dry. In the morning the
face should be first washed in hot water
and then rinsed in basin full of cold wa
ter in which little of the benzoin has been
dropped.
The face should not be merely lightly
touched with towel after it is washed,
but rubbed hard until it is quite dry. With
out soap and plenty of hard rubbing the
oily matter which eXudes from the pores
dries on the surface and combines with
dust and dirt to make blackheads, prevents
the passage of more waste matter through
the skin and thus causes pimples and sim.
liar denominations.
or course the young woman who wants q
dazzling skin will not forget to eat plenty
of fruit, green salad and whole grained
bread and to eschew rich foods and pastry.
She will also be out of doors as much as
possible, but instead of counting the suns
rays as she did all summer she will screer
herself from them by wearing a fine veil
However, she will not indulge in the ''styl
ish" dotted monstrosities dear to the ocu
| list. All sorts of exercises that will SEM
the blood dancing through her veins sh
will indulge in. Turkish baths will pla,
their part in the making Of her charming
appearance, and an occasional facial mas
sage will help on the good work.-St. Loui

Coming over on the Michigan Central
tall. fine appearing man and handsome
IL dressed, refined looking woman were
seated Just in front of plainly dressed.
sweet faced old lady about 20 years old.
Every little while the man would turn
aud address a remark to the elder woman,
and her eyes would glow with pride, for
he was her son. and though his wife did
not seem ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS she was
not proud of the old lady-yet she would
degn to drop II word or two once in
awhile.
Finally the son turned, as the porter in
/ formed him of the dining car ia the rear,
and said "Well, mother, Emma and |
will 20 now and get our dinner. You
know she needs good warm dinner. You
have brought your lunch, see. will
send you in a good cup of hot tea" And
the couple rose and passed into the dining
car
After they had left "mother" sat look
ing out of the window and appeared to be
deep in thought, not overhappy perhaps.
Finally she reached under the seat and
brought up the little wornout black bas-
ket "sonn had noticed and held 1t on her
lap, lingering the ribbon 1t was tied with
in thoughtful way. just as she opened
it the train stopped at n station. The door
was suddenly flung open, and CHEEKY

appeared TO be looking eagerly for some
one.
Finally his glance fell on the little old
lady.
"Mother!" he cried in delighted voice
"My John: my Johnr' And the two
were clasped in II loving embrace SO genu

one of the passengers, and the rest looked
on in an interested manner.

this in an apologize way, for she saw d
