IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
The man without God and without hope in
the world has nothing to live for when disap-
pointment, loss of fortune, loss of friends, loss
OF health and other calamities and misfortune
come. Brought into the world without his
consent, placed within an environment he did
not choose. suffering not only for his. own i'm
mediate faults but tor the faults and misdo-
lngs OF others, looking to no divine being as
father and friend, and to no home beyond for
rest and recompense and reward, he may we'll
reason himself into the belief that this life is
both mistake and a burden and seek a swift
ana sure release from existence by suicide S
hand. If we regard our sufferings and sorrows
as part of the discipline and training appoin ted
or permitted for our ultimate well-being, then
we can believe that life is worth living

with butterflies in almost every color OF the

In fifteen minutes the butterflies were gone,

THE CHURCH AND LIBERTY
Rev. Lacy Says That American Liberty
Was Established Exclusively
by pisoopalians.

The first OF four lectures this month on
the history of the Episcopal church in the
United States was delivered at St. Johns 8
Church, Fifteenth and Valencia streets,
last night by the Rev. T. J. Lacey.
His. Introductory lecture was upon the
subject, "The Church in Colonial Times
the Cradle of Liberty
The subjects of his three succeeding lee
lures are: The First American Bishops
October 13; "rhe Vine Out of Egypt, or
the Church Filling the Land" October 20,
and THE Secret of the Church's Phenome-
nal Growth, October 27.
In substance the lecturer spoke as fol-
lows: ~
The Episcopal church is the Genesis-the be-
ginning-of American liberty. We find that
the earliest religious services ever held in
America were those of our church, in which
Walter Raleigh took part in 1885 Two wears
later the first Indian was baptized. Thirteen
Plymouth the first spife of an Episcopal
church had appeared in America. On this
coast the performance of Episcopal services
were even earlier than in the East To the
Episcopal church belongs the honor of the
very earliest religious observance in this
country.
The prayer-book cross in Golden Gate Park
commentaries the first services of this church
on this coast. It is significant that those early
services were held in San Francisco, the geo
graphical center of the possessions of the
United States for the furthest western limit OF
Alaska is 1000 miles west of here while the
extreme eastern point OF Maine is only $500
miles.
On. the 21st of June, 1907, the first com.
munion was celebrated in jamestown, and in
1907 the first effort was made to establish per-
manent religious services.
1t was in the colony of Virginia that the
church took root. 1t was also in Virginia that
colonial liberty took root The first elective
body that ever convened in the New World
met in the church at Jamestown.
It was not in the Puritan colony, but in the
church colony, that the idea of freedom of the
colonies had its BIRTH and it was there that it
was developed and realized. And so / hold
that the Episcopal church was the cradle of
American liberty.

SEE YUPS At VARIANCE,
QuarreIs Among the Tongs
Threaten to Break Up
the Boycott.
President Lee Has Circular of
Advice Posted for Their
Benefit.

The See Yup boycott in Chinatown be-
gins to show signs of breaking. The last
proclamation from Yang Yu, the Chinese
Minister at Washington, has mad consid-
| erable influence upon the boycotters along
the lire of demonstrating that the claw is
terror to evil-doers," but the real dis
turbing element has been the natural ten
dency of the evil-doers to disagree among
themselves.
There are great many tongs-high binder
societies-under See Yup influence, and
last week two of these tongs got into a dis
pute over fighting man" leaving one
and joining the other. The custom in
cases of this kind has been for a pecuniary
compensation to be made to the tong losing
its lighting man" but the money in this
instance was not paid. One night the
tongs got to fighting and some arrests fol-
lowed.
The officers of the See Yups saw that if
their tongs caused open disturb rbance the
police authorities would have an opportu-
nifty to arrest and prosecute their members,
and therefore to prevent future violations
of the law and save the cause from being
weakened See Yup circular has just been
posted on Sacramento street as an "ad-
vice" asking the See Yups to be orderly
and not commit overt acts of violation of
law anu WhTHluB IHem OI tuo pOSSlDlS
consequences if they failed to heed the ad-
vice.
There are now only three of the Six Com
panies in the boycott agreement, namely
the Ming Yungs, Hop Wahs and Shue
Kings, for the Kong Chaus have with
| drawn. The man who was assaulted last
week during the Tuesday night disturb
ance in Fish alley was member of the
Kong Chau Company and a partner in a
tea store at 7l5H Dupont street. The pres
ident Of the Kong Chaus has declared him
self as friendly to the Sam Yups, and that
is equivalent to releasing this company
from the twenty-five articles of agreement
signed by the four See Yup companies sew
eral weeks ago. Those who are in a posi-
ton to know say that President Lee of the
Ming Yungs, the leading See Yup COM
pany, is really Sam Yup-that is, that he
halls from the metropolis of Canton.

WEDDING IN HIGH LIFE,
The Engagement Announced
of Mrs. Clara CatherWood
to Major Darling.
WILL BE A GENUINE SURPRISE
The Ceremony VIII Probably Take
Place at Madrona Villa, the
Home Of the Bride-Elect.

Society will experience genuine sensa-
| ton IN the announcement of the engage
ment of Major John A. Darling of the
| Fifth U. S. Artillery stationed at the Pre-
sldio, good soldier and distinguished
officer with splendid war record, well
known in social and artistic circles as a
| talented and accomplished gentleman, to
| Mrs. Clara L. Catherwood an acknowledged
leader in society and an extremely clever
and brilliant woman of charming personal
| and marked individuality.
This lady is the daughter of the late
Judge S. Clinton Hastings first Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court.
The wedding will take place October %
at the elegant home of the bride-elect,
Madrona villa, near Rutherford, in Napa
County.
Mrs. Catherwood is well known in Cali.
fornia and New York society. For num-
Der of years she has spent great deal of
her time in Gotham and Europe and
possesses a charming and magnificent
country place in Westchester, N. Y. The
residence stands amid beautiful surround
ings on what is called the Country Club
grounds. She is a great friend of Mrs.
Leland Stanford. The two were children
| together and were educated at the same
convent.
Mrs. Catherwood has entertained ex-
tensively, both on this coast and in New
York, and the brilliance OF her receptions
and dinners is proverbial. Before the
death of Judge Hastings, her father, and
while his estate was being settled, San
Francisco saw much of her.
She is the mother of Miss Jennie c.
Catherwood who has just arrived in this
City from New York, and Mrs. Ernest La
Montague of New York, whose wedding
some years ago created such sensation in
society. She has also one son, Clinton,
who is now at Dartmouth and will take
his medical degree this fall.
The prospective groom, Major John A.
Darling, was born in Maine and was ap-
pointed at the beginning of the Rebellion
second lieutenant in the United States ar
tillery. In the field, during the Civil
War, in the Army of the West and of the
Potomac he commanded light battery of
artillery. He was also engaged in active
operations at New Madrid and assisted in
the capture of Islans No. 10. He also dis
tinguished himself before Suffolk, Va,
and was in command of Fortress Monroe
| during the time of the capture of Jefferson
Davis. He came to the Pacific Coast with
the Second Artillery in 1865.
He was out of service from 1868 until
1871, spending this period in the East. He
returned in 1881 as captain of the First
Artillery, and went East in $780, He was
promoted to major of the Fifth Artillery
in 1892. AT this time he met Mrs. Gather.
wood, who was then Miss Clara Hastings.
This is the third time he has been sta
toned on this coast.
Major Darling possesses those aualifica-
tons that render him mostly popular
among his brother officers, and is like the
bride-elect favorite in society.

81 saw that it would alleviate and ame-
ilorate the moral depravity of man and
give place to pure thought and moral sta
ollty. BY hearing and investigating /
comprehended It's beauties, compared its
precepts, unraveled some of its apparent
mysteries, letting the sunlight of intelli-
gence guide my mind in establishing
beyond reasonable doubt its origin
as divine plan for the redemp-
ton of fallen humanity. Being
composed of sensible facts, it ap-
pealed to my outward senses, and |
judged its validity from a rational stand
point. The early establishment of sacri-
noes, memorials commemorating the ex-
odus of Israel, the establishment of Chris
tianlty, and events and prophecies con-
nected with them serve as guideposts
pointing out the last great sign-the dis
pensation of the fullness of times verified
IN Mormonism.
THE discoveries of American ethnolo-
gists and archelogists prove to be true the
account given in the Book of Mormon of
an ancient civilization on this continent,
establishing the facts contained in that
book which purport to be the record of
Joseph, which was to be united with that
of Judah in the last dispensation for the
benefit of Gods people. The record of
judah (Blble) in turn speaks of these two
records becoming one in the hands of God
in the last days. (Eze. xxxvii: 1927 These
facts bear out the claims of the Latter-day
Saints, and help to establish their doc
trines.

this appeal of David Mr.. Gibson spoke of the
fearful lot of one who believes himself for

THE UNITARIAN CHURCH.
An Evening Sermon on It's Organization
in America.

in America.
The first of course of four sermons on
the Unitarian church in America, its his
tory, purpose and relation to the people,
was delivered last evening in the First
Unitarian Church by the Rev. William
Eliot Jr., associate minister.
The minister drew attention to the con-
ference held at Saratoga, n. Y, in 1885,
and of the two wings of the church which
after a time were united, and of the
strength the church has been gaining since
then. The Unitarian church, he said, was
congregational in this that each congrega-
tion was independent and did not have any
supreme head as have other herdenominations.
While it was true that there was ma
tional conference and local conferences
with delegates from each church their de-
iberations were advisory-not mandatory.
Each church made its own regulation as
to membership, but he did not believe that
attendance at communion service should
be made a test of membership. The
church, he said, was as free as possible as
to quality, membership and Minister.
Speaking of the minister, he said that
there were so many check balances that
there was no peril in allowing him the
freedom he had.

BASEBALL AT CENTRAL PARK.
The Olympics Defeat the Pacifics in a
Clever Game.

The Olympics Defeat the Pacifics In a
Clever Game.
That baseball is still popular with the
masses was evidenced by the gathering at
Central Park yesterday to witness match
between the crack nine of the Olympic
Club and the locally famous Pacifcs. The
game resulted in an easy victory for the
former, the score standing 13 to A in their
favor at the end of the ninth inning. 1t
is not to be supposed by this, however, that
they had a walkover, for the game was re-
plete with brilliant fielding, in which the
Pacific players carried off the honors- 1t
was at critical points that the defeated
team went to pieces, and the Olympics did
not fail to take advantage of the opening
this afforded. The following summary
tells the story:
Runs-olympics 13, Pacifcs 4. Two-base
hits-Olympics 2, Pacifcs /. Home runs
Olympics q Errors-Olympics 3, Pacitics z.
Struck out-Olympics 9, Pacifcs 8.
