At the Eirct Rantist Church

General I. J. Morgan delivered an adj
dress at the First Baptist church yester-
dav morning which was an interesting
history of the Baptist Home Missionary
society Of America, its work, what it
stood Tor and what it had accom- plisne ed =.
General Morgan is most pleasant plat
form speaker. He makes no pretensions
to oratory, but he uses the puresu Eng
lish and his sentences are brief and
pointed and are rendered impressive by
their delivery.
1.-THE history of the Baptist Home Mis-
sionary Society is history of Christ's
work carried on through MISSIONS said
General Morgan. THE history of home
mission work is the history OF America.
Since the Beginning of the national life,
the churches have been actuated by the
mission OF impulse. From the days of
Roger Williams, who founded the First
Baptist church at Providence. r. l., in
1888. the church has been mission
body. In 1852 to concentrate the work
the centra. body was formed-the Howe
Mission Society CT America. This was
rather contrary to Baptist ideas, which
were in favor OF indi vidual action, con.
Duct and liberty. But the Baptists fin
ally availed themselves of the great pow
er in union end concentration of effort.
The society was formed to spread the
gospel in Ohio, Indiana ana Illinois,
then considered the far west
1.-The influence of the work ON the de-
nomination mas been good. 1t has pro-
NOTED the great Baptist principle. We
have in the north 800, 009 Baptists, in
the south 1,300,000 and 1.600, 700 negro
Baptists, total OF $500. 900. Tue relig-
ious sentiment Of the United States has
been largely determined by Baptists and
the society has given to Baptlsts self con-
seriousness. 1t has made members of lit
tie struggling, isolated Baptist churches
feel that they were part of the great
army. This seems to give the denumina-
ton aggressiveness.
1.-The society is also powerful as an ed
uoati0nal free. 1t is powerful, too, in
the national life, for it has been tre-
mendous factor IN settling u, the great
west. It has been instrumental in spread.
Ing ths population ami in building up
Christian communities and new common
wealths. The primary elements to be
com baied in new communities are of
evil-the saloon, gambling. tn o race track
and all the forces that tend to demoraiize
society and to ruin your sons and daugh-
teYs.
"Cnristianity has always been the great
saving power. The hope of the nation is
not IN its politicians, not in its schools, not
In its laws. but in the word of God.
''The society is now having the gospel
preached in sixteen different languages

dangerous degree. This will bring the
people of both sections to united effort to
sustain those who are dung so much to
stamp them out.
strong memorial to congress IN favor
OF the Nicaragua canal was adopted: also
, suitable resolutions in memory of the
late Hon. L.. w. Buck, vice. president of
the state board of horticulture.
The afternoon session was opened by an
essay on pruning by c. J. Berry of vi
salia: lie commenced by saying that
the first thing to learn was not how to
prune, tut how not to prune.' The
pruning discussion was taken part In by
many gentlemen, and the listener was
justified in concluding that every mar
has pruning theory of his own, and no
cast-iron rule can be made to apply.
What is suitable to one section or il salts
factory TO one individual is unsatisfactory
to another; the chief requisite is good
Judgment and care when the pruning Is
done and careful consideration of ones
location and particular varieties of fruit
grown, the olive requiring little or none,
summer pruning being always best.
The consensus OF opinion was discour-
aging to the employment of Chinese in
the orchards or for renting orchards to
thar people, as appears to be done in
some localities. But it was asserted shat
the orchards managed by the Chinese
were owned by people who from sharp
transportation CudTScS
and com MISSION house losses had ADAM
doned the business, aud to get some
money out of their orchards re nted them
to che Mong olians.
On the question of the employment of
women and children in cutting and dry
ing fruit some interesting facts we're
brought out All who had employed
them spoke in high praise of the women
and girls aud boys ranging from and
years up to IA. Some OF the speakers
were not overly complimentary to the av-
erage male help about the orchard or dry
ing grounds their experience not having
been particularly pleasant. Striking,
drunkenness, fighting and neglecting
their work being the male besetting sin.
The question of cooperation was again
taken up and discussed and the variety of
opinions expressed gave no indication of
that idea becoming prevalent and gener-
ally adopted until comprehensive plan
can be adjusted.
The entirc evening session was con-
sumed in talking to a resolution offered
by Mr.. Sprague of Antelope valley urg-
ing cooperative fruit unions in every
school district III the state. Old h story
and past experience were gone over by
way of explaining why organizations of
this kind had failed. No conclusion was
reached when the fuse of the electric light
burned out. leaving the Assem- bly, cham.
Der in darkness. when the convention
filed silently out.

Church of the New Era

Professor W. G. Bowman spoke at the
Church of the New Era yesterday upon
the mission of the organization. Follow
ing is an outline of his discourse:
Every institution which means any
thing for the world has some special rb-
lect or mission. Oar special mission. as
view it, is two-fold, namely. as a
church proper and rs general reform or
ganization. | am aware that our free
thinking people are not all of one mind
8 to this matter of church proper. In
fact. few CT our most ultra radical
brethren are strongly prejudiced agai st
the very word church, believing it 10 be a
spurious-at least a useless-inst itution.
Though its purpose was originally good
dand may be yet good-they believe 1t
has been so abused and perveited to evil
purposes that the very name should be
disco ntinued. But thinking more deeply
they Will see that abuse and perverson
of an institution is no good reason for its
adjustment. What institute On has not
been abused? The family has been abused
The state has been perverted to evil and
despotic purposes. But this is no reason
why We should attempt to subvert either
the family or the state. True reform is
not in the overthrow of institutions, but
the correction of their abuses
but our other mission is that of gen.
erai reform work. We have come tor the
fearless. and independent advocacy of the
right and opposition to the wrong wher
ever found. We are pledged by our very
constitution to try everything as by fire,
casting the old into the melting pot and
giving it a new assny-then tell the truth
about il. whether it is gold or dross. We
stand for religion, not theology; for prin-
ciple, not party; for truth. not traditional
authority. Let us be faithful. self-sacri-
.:cing and firm in working out our mis-
sion. and there will be no occasion to ask
whether the Church OF the New Era is
going to live or die

APPLIED CHRISTIANITY
Symposium Given at the Mass Meeting
Last Night

Symposium Given at the Mass Meeting
Last Night
The first grand mass meeting of the In.
stitute of Applied Christianity was held
in Simpson tabernacle yesterday evening.
The meeting was not unlike regular
church service, the only difference BENG
in the discourse, which was in the form
of symposium and upon topics other
than Bible texts
After the music of the choir and con.
gregation which was under the direction
of A. Raymer &. W. White, president of
the institute opened the discussion with
a brief introduction in which he outlined
the purposes OF the organization and gave
an exposition of applied Christianity.
The gospel" said he Its not set
of principles. The question asked bv
every body when approached concerning
religion is, What do you propose to do
for us?' That is the question we propose
to answer tonight"
President White then introduced the
Rev. d. Lloyd Jenkins. whose subject was,
Why an Institute. Mr.. Jenkins develop
ed his theme at some length and told in
detail what was intended by applied
Christianity. In substance it was that
the aim of the organization was to teach
soclsty to live up to the ethical stand
ards established by Christ, even as He
lived them.
DR.. Steven Bowers followed with an in
depreciation Of the Lords prayer in the
light of applied Christianity. His dis
course gave new meaning to the beauti-
tul prayer SO often repeated but SO little
UNDERSTOOD.
Judge K. NJ. Widney treated the sub
lect as applied to business and his ideas
were not only beautiful but such as
might be probably put into general prac-
tice.
Mrs. Thomas of the Salvation army was
called uron to SPEAK of Christianity as
appned to the masses. She told of her
long experience in carrying the teachings
OF Jesus to the common people. She EN-
dorsed everything said by the proceed ing
speakers ana concluded by EN- phasizine
the point that the real Importance of the
movement was attached to the work OF
spreading 1t among chose who most
needed practical spiritual aid.
