Evening Session.

The evening session was opened with
devotional exercises conducted by Rev
J. NJ. Green, after which came the Home
Mission report.
Secretary Sturtevant read the report of
the American Baptist Home Mission So
ciety, which showed that during the
sixty-three years oNits existence il has
planted more than 5000 churches and
lilo, 600 persons have been baptized. Dur
ing the last year its teachers and mission
aries have numbered l, l00 and have rep
resented no less than sixteen nationali-
ties, preaching to the people III their own
language. 1t has, since It's organization.
assisted l $50 churches to build houses OF
worship. over 1900 having been thus
aided IN the last thirteen years, and
eighty-nine Of them in the last year OF
which twelve are in this State. 1t aids in
the maintenance OF thirty five schools
for the colored people, the Indians and
the Mexican, sixteen day schools tor the
Chinese.
Rev. L, J. Morgan of New York, Cen
eral Secretary OF the Home Mission So
ciety, then delivered An address on the
work OF the society in this country.
The essence OF Christianity, he said,
was the spirit OF missions. Christ gave
his disciples a command to preach the
Gospel to all nations, anu ever since the
one of missionary effort. The nineteenth
century viii pass into history az the great
century OF missionary work. In it sew
eral great missionary systems have been
instituted.
lie would speak of the opportunity of
the Baptist denomination at the present
time in missionary work. 1t has the
Scriptures, the great mass of experience,
of discussion and criticism, by which TO
proft 1t has an open field in this
country. The missionary in China finds
himself confronted by the hoary tradi-
tions OF ages, with old theologies and sys-
TENS that are opposed TO Christianity
Here he has TO contend with none OF
these things. His environments are ali
favorable TO his work. 1t is new coun-
try, where all is plisble and more easy to
manage than in the older countries
where everything has become stiff and
settled. Such being the case, the church
can do far more than it can do in the
next century.
The great mass OF our citizens are in
accord with the Protestant religion, and
this helps the one who goes out into the
missionary field. True, there are many
that are ungodly, but in seasons of re-
form, like that which New York City has
Just passed through, there is hush, ana

ELEGANT NEW CARS.
Southern Pacific Keeping Up With the
Procession.
From the Santa Ana Blade.l

IT is only a few years since the tele-
graph, the telephone, electric lights,
electric cars and q hundred other con-
Veniences and luXuries of life that we
regard now as necessities were I'M
known. Sometimes perhaps we are
inclined to think that all the discover
les have been made and that improve
ments in modes fsliving, in kinds OF
fuel, means of illumination and luXu-
ries in railroad travel have been ex-
hausted, but this is a fallacy.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of q
ride on the Southern Pacific between
this city and Los Angeles in one of its
new Pullman-nade day coaches, which
was it's first trip over the road. The
company has just sent twenty five
coaches of this pattern to Southern
California and our people will soon be-
come familiar with their great advant-
ages over the old style of coaches,
which have been but little improved for
many. many years.
The introduction by the Southern Pa
cific Of these new coaches really marks
q new epoch in railroad travel, and
shows us that railroad men are wide
awake TO the necessity of pleasing the
public and catering to the comfort OF
their patrons.
These elegant coaches are manu-
featured for the Southern Pacific by
the Pullman Manufacturing Company
They are more roomy than the ordinary
car: are supplied with the Baker heater
wonderful Improvement on the old
disagreement of the ordinary car. Per
ha1s the greatest advantage to the
culinary traveller win be considered
the high-back seats with comfortable
head rest, elegantly upholstered
throughout, which makes it possible fOl
the weary rider to take a nap as the
coach rolls on without endangering the
loss of his head. This is substantial
Improvement and one that will be APP
pleCiated by the travelling public. These
coaches are provided with paper wheels
are extra easy riders, and have ladies
toilets. with wash basins, mirrors
etc, besides there being two elegant
rnirrors in the body of each of the
caches.
Altogether these new coaches mark
& step in advance in the direction OF
more perfect railroad travel and is
another evidence that the Southern
Pacific does not propose to be left be-
hind in anything.

ENOCH UP A TREE.
A Nebraska Woman Who Has NJ
Liking for Romantic Outcomes.

A Nebraska Woman Who Has No
Liking for Romantic Outcomes.
A paper in Western Nebraska contains
the outline OF story that should be
slung into undying verse by poet as
good as the author of "Enoch Arden"
Some years ago, in the town where the
paper is published. there lived man
who had a wife and daughter. lie seemed
prosperous, and his credit was good for
anything he desired.
One fine starlight night he disappeared,
taking with him nearly everything that
wasn't nailed down. lie had made about
every man in town creditor, and when
he went away the people betook them
selves into outer darkness for awhile and
walled and CRASHED their teeth.
The wife and daughter were treated the
same as the rest. They found themselves
destitute. The fiend in human form who
had so long officiated as husband and
father had left them not dollar. The
lady and her daughter were, OF course,
looked coldly upon for while, as people
believed them to be in collision with the
departed. But they were not depressed
by this. They went manfully to work
like little heroines in play; the mother
did sewing and the daughter did what
ever she could get to do. They pros
pered, as they deserved to prosper. The
older heroine in time established a mill
linery store, which captured all the trade,
while the younger became Principal of
the schools. They had money in the
bank, and could eat ice-cream whenever
they wanted to.
The other day seedy tramp called at
the back door OF the lady's residence and
ask ed for a drink and something to eat.
The good woman looked at him lntently
and recognized her husband. And now
the really beautiful part of this story
comes in. Did the lady kill the fatted
calf for the prodigal and bid him well
come and forget the past? Not to any
great extent.
She called the family dog. a large
creature, with penchant for human re-
mains and no man ever climbed a tree
quicker than did the erring husband

OBSERVANCE OF TIE SABBATH DAY.
Different Views Held by Baptist
Clergymen.
First Days Proceedings of the Pacinc
Associations Meeting IN
This City.

A paper on the s"The Fourth Command
ment.n read by Rev. H. b. Turner of
Santa Rosa. was the chief feature OF yes
terday mornings session OF the racine
Baptist Association at the First Baptist
Church. The session was opened by
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Waldrop of Hsalds-
burg.
Mr.. Turner took issue with the Sew
enth-D Day Adventists and the Jews, who
hold that Saturday is properly the Sab
bath, instead of Sunday. In his opinion
they are mistaken on that point, and
argued at some length to prove that Sum
day is really "the seventh day, after
she six days of labor" Innocent recre-
alton or exercise, the speaker thought,
mightybe INDUCED in on Sunday without
wrong. He drew the line, however,
when Rev. Mr.. Banks OF this city asked
him, "What about Sunday picnlcs"'
This class of innovations upon the
sanctity of the Sabbath, Mr.. Turner
quickly responded, ARE of the devil"
He was equally opposed to Sunday nigh
concerts, and replied TO Mr.. Banks
query on that point that members OF a
church who attended these sinful gather
ings should be expelled.
a running debate followed DIT. 1urnel
paper, in which the speakers generally
condemned all such Sunday affairs.
Rev. Mr.. Gray of Dixon expressed his
views on Sunday laws. He was opposed
to laws that punish Seventh-Day Ad-
ventists for working in their gardens, as
had been done in Tennessee, but did favor
laws to prevent foreigners from disturb
ing the rest OF the community on Sun
days. AS for alleged Christians who
would attend horse races or baseball on
Sunday, he said the church should come
down on them with all the force OF a
pile-driver."
Rev. Mr.. CASTOR of Vallejo thought the
State made a mistake in not enforcing
Sunday laws, but Rev. Mr.. Lundquist OF
Middletown was OF the opinion that force
should not be used TO compel the observ-
ance of Sunday. Those, however. who
persisted in ignoring the Sabbath should
be expelled from church.
The driving out plan did not strike Mr..
Waldrop as being the proper one. He
believed in people rebuilding their efforts
TO make the Sunday breakers better
Christians, and keep them within the
pale of the church.
A very witty paper on THE History Of
the World'' was read by Rev. John Dow
ME OF Winters, which caused much ner-
riment, aud at its conclusion a recess was
taken.

Afternoon Session.

The afternoon session opened at 2 D. m.
with devotional meeting led by Rev. r.
T. Gray.
After the close of the meeting Rev. DIR.
Banks of this city addressed the associa-
ton, calling attention to the great i'm
portance of the work to be done by the
convention as affecting the welfare of the
churches Of the association for years to
come.
He called on Professor L. i. Inskeep of
California College 10 act as Moderator,
and the ASSOCIATION joined in singing
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds.'
The circular letter OF Dr.. Banks was
read by D. II. Drake, returned mis-
aioDary from India.
The Committees on Enrolment and
Nomination were appointed.
The Committee on New Churches re-
ported IN favor of receiving into the asso-
citation the Auburn Church and the
Mount Zion Church of this city.
The reading of letters from different
churches followed. after which the COM
mlttee on ominations reported the
names of Rev. John Downie OF Winters
for Moderator, Rev. a. j. Sturtevant of
Sacramento for Clerk and Rev. J. NJ.
Coulter of Dixon for Treasurer, and they
were elected.
