METHODISTS AND DR.. OLLIE
PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO AID HIN
IN EVERY WAY.

The Methodist Union met in the associa-
ton building, but their session was an ex-
ecutive one. No paper was read, but Rev.
E. R. Ollie opened up the meeting with a
long address upon municipal corruption
and needed reforms. He reviewed the his
tory of the reform movement from its in
ception to its present important position,
and eulogized the press for the assistance
it had lent to the good work. In his view
the outlook was most encouraging.
Bishop Goodsell Endorsed the movement,
but doubted the efficiency of any investi-
eating commission unless it should be alb
solutely non-partisan. Governor Budd, in
his opinion, had been placed in Office by
the same influences which supported the
Republican office-holders of this city.
DR.. J. Coyle, presiding elder of the San
Francisco district, had talked with Assem-
blyman Guy of San Diego, who thought
that the establishing of non partisan
commission by this Legislature was an i'm
possibility. S. J. Simonds and DIR. R.
Bentley expressed similar views, and then
vote of thanks was extended to DR.. Ollie
for the stand he had taken in regard to
municipal corruption. Inasmuch as he
had been threatened with libel suits and
otherwise the ministers pledged themselves
to stand by him and aid him in every
possible way.

THE REV. DR.. OLLIE UPHELD.

The Ministers Unions of five denomina

weekly sessions. The Baptists gathered
in one of the halls in the Young Mems
Christian Association building and
titled "Crazy Hymnology." The author
was Rev. John Downie of Winters, and
the reading was frequently interrupted
by applause and bursts of laughter.
"This is an age OF admiration for articles
of crazy patterns" ran the paper, "crazy
quilts, crazy shams crazy jars and even
crazy hymns. Religious denominations
are subdivided in every possible way, and
these subdivisions take the mother entirely
out of the religious life of the young. We

this line it would be proper for married
women when most interesting to form

ligious services for the benefit of the
coming generation.
each of these subdivisions has a sepa-
rate hymnbook, and of all crazy works
under the sun these crazy hymnodies take
the lead. What an army of poets, poet
esses, poetasters, musicians and songle-
teers must be engaged in this reduplication
of hymnbooks, and this creation, mutila-

of the songs of the Christian world! If the
devil in addition to his other duties is ex-
pected to keep track of all these illusions
and neutralize their effect he has "a hard
row to hoe indeed, poor fellow"
The speaker deplored the multiplication

Roman Church as illustrative of the advan-
tages of such plan. He gave an illustra-
ton of setting grand old words to new
and light music by singing himself the Ma

that the effect of modern hymns was not
less ludicrous. In the discussion which

THE DIVINITY IN EVOLUTION
PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS Discuss
AN ABLE PAPER.

The Presbyterian ministers met at the
Presbyterian Mission on Sacramento street.
Professor Josiah Keep of the department
of natural science at Mills College SUBJ
mitted for their consideration a paper on
the Geological Preparation of the Earth
for Man" The treatise was of scientific
rather than religious nature and excited
but little discussion. The position taken
by the author was that of a believer in evo-
luton not the evolution of Jordan or LIE
Conte. but an evolution of which the
progress was directed by supernatural
allwise, omnipotent, divine intelligence.
sThe universe was first chaos of hot
gaseous matter. Unstable equilibrium in
duced centrifugal motion, and thus from
the main body masses were thrown off,
which, cooling, formed the planets. In
perfectly natural ways the surface of the
earth was rendered fit for mans habitation,
but the forces employed were guided and
even set in motion by supreme intelli-
gence. Man was created by evolution.
The proper demonstration, nitrogen,
oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur and hydro
gen-were brought together to form proto-
plasm. They were brought together in
proper proportions, not by chance, but by
a divinely directing power, and this bring
ing together was creation.
"The perfect man was not the first animal
created. On the contrary, several forms of
life succeeded each other. The evolution lay
in the succession of animals, in which
divine power either superintended the
change from one species to another or dis
tinctly produced a separate species from
inanimate matter"

pressed with the inferential methods which

AN ARTISTIC KAISER,
William of Germany Said to Be Fairly
Good With the Brush.

When Kaiser Wilhelm goes on a sea trip
he spends many of his hours in painting.
1t is not generally known that the Kaiser
is not half-bad artist. He is particularly
fond of landscapes and sea scenery. This
talent his Majesty has inherited from his
mother, who has her studio wherever she
makes her home. When the present EN-
pefor was Prince Wilhelm he used to fire.
quent his mothers atelier with great de-
light, and, occasionally, as reward for ex-
ira good behavior, the boy was allowed to
lay on few touches in one or other of the
pictures the Empress had in hand for
charitable bazaar or such purpose. Later
on Prince Wilhelm studied water and oil
painting in the Kunst-Gewerbe School in
Berlin, and the Crown Prince, taking a
fancy to a sea picture by Karl Salzmann,
IN an exhibition, that artist was chosen for
the Princes master in the art So the love
OF the Kaiser for sea pieces came about
and Herr Salzmann is always the compan-
ion of his Majesty on sea voyages.
On late trip the Kaiser said to this
artist: "Take plenty of painting materials
with yon, for if it is bad weather l shall
compete with you" True to his word, on
some rainy days his Majesty set to work
on board the Kaiser-Adler with little sea
views, some quite good work, one ship in a
storm, if not touched up by the profess
sional artist, being excellent for an anna
teur,. The Kaiser spends much time in
visiting the artists in Berlin, often going
to the studios unannounced; he delights in
going round the rooms, admiring and criti-
Ching by turns. He does not mind
mounting the hundred odd stairs, which
mostly lead to the ateliers, in the least,
always answering laughingly the apologies
of the artists with the words: ooh, l am
