AT POPULAR LAKE QUASsAPAUG.
 Lake Quassapaug has lost none of it's charms during the past very severe win ter, but rather promises to be more pOpu lar than ever this season. George W. Wallace entertained several sleighing parties at his popular house, during the past winter, and is already making ex- tensive Improvements preparatory to the summer season. He is at present at work on 8 steam plant, putting in good strong steam engine and boiler that will greatly assist in the work. MT Wallace has in mind, evidently, the lighting of his house and grounds by electricity and has put in an engine and boiler of sufficient capacity to do this work when he is ready for it. He is also putting new steel boiler in his handsome steam launch and making improvements in the house and about the grounds. He will aim to have his already popular resort more popular and attractive than ever for the coming season.

THE RELIGIOUS LIFE.
Rev. Leslie W. Sprague Discourses on
the Doctrine of Faith.


At the Second Unitarian Church Rev.
Leslie w. Sprague preached yesterday
morning on the subject of ''The Religious
Life" He said:
'The Son of Man, looking over the earth
on Sabbath morning, would find as the
condition of the religious life among the
people of America few people in the
churches, but many there would be found
to have little interest in the things for
which the churches stand. They are Civ
ing their attention to creeds and forms and
selfish sectarian differences, to social ap-
pearances and business interests.
1.-THE Son of Man, looking over the earth
to-day, would find great deal of religion
outside of the churches. Many home
would be found truer altar than the
sacred places within the temple, and many
a man in the worlds care and turmoil and
strife would be found to be worshipping
the only true God.
1.-THE religious life is something very
broad and inclusive, SO broad that it can
not be limited, as many people try to limit
it, to any particular phase.
while religion may necessitate outside
church membership the membership may
be had without the first element of re-
ligion. Religion is not to be confined to
revival meetings or the singing of hymns.
Religion is the CONSCIOUSNESS of love of
the good, the longing for the pure and the
reverence for the high. Religious life is
the life of love and faith"

| CRACK iron CLIPPER.
One Of the Two Ships Gorringe Built
Is in Port.
4 Reminder Of the SkillfuI Officer Who
Transported Cleopatra's Needle
to America.

The arrival last Friday of the fine iron
E. W. Reed, recalls to mind the late
Lieutenant-Commander H. II. Gorringe of
the United States navy, whose death oc-
CURED several years ago.
It will be remembered that Lieutenant
Commander Gorringe was permitted by
the Government to accept the offer made
by Vanderbilt to transport the monolith
known as Cleopatra's Needle from Egypt
to the United States. He purchased a
small steamer from the Khedive, and
through his exceptional skill as an en-
gineer landed the historic stone in New
York
Gorringe resigned from the naval SER
vice, resenting certain action on the part
of the Secretary toward himself, and there
is no doubt that the brave and worthy
officer was uniustly treated. He was
known as volunteer officer" having en-
tered the service in 1862 as sailor before
the mast and while taking part in all the
battles of the Mississippi squadron, had
won his promotion as lieutenant in 1865.
He then embarked in vast project in
connection with the American Ship build
ing Company, of which Vanderbilt was the
money foundation. He built the T. f.
Cakes and her sister ship, the Clarence S.
Bennett, now on her way to Calcutta. The
vessels are 300 feet in length, As feet in
breadth, have depths of % feet and are
1897 tons burden. They were launched
about eleven years ago and were the first
iron sailing vessels built in this country.
The company soon afterward went to
pieces and left Gorringe stranded in health
as we'll as in pocket and he subsequently
died disappointed and heartbroken.
In the beautiful lines of the T. f. Cakes
may be seen the naval architectural train
ing of her designer. Graceful, yet more
sturdy hulled than the English model, this
crack American clipper. with her twenty
knot speed, is a craft to be proud of. Ex-
cept her pine decks she is iron from her
keel to her lower mastheads, and her brass
mounted rail shines like the metal trim
mings of a man-of-war.
The cabin is another evidence of Cor
ringe's naval taste, as it is built like that
of a war vessel, having a central saloon
surrounded by officers staterooms, ar
ranged in accordance with the rank of the
occupant.
She was destined for the Columbia River
trade, and for the purpose of getting over
that dangerous bar in safety was made to
draw only twenty-one feet of water when
deeply loaded.
The ship is owned by w. H. Starbruck of
the Oregon Improvement Company. This
ship and her sister are objects of interest
to naval officers, and they are known as

CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0R RALLY.
The Anniversary of the Movement Celebrated
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The First English Lutheran Church was
given up to a Christian Endeavor rally
yesterday, it being the anniversary of the
Christian Endeavor movement in the
United States. In the morning the pastor
preached upon Pauls words to Timothy:
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance
that thou stir up the gift of God that is in
thee by the laying on of my hands" He
made special reference to the Christian
Endeavor work, and urged the young
people to ''stir up the git of God"
The Young people conducted the even
ing service. Henry T. Hesselmeyer read a
paper on How Can the Pledge (the pledge
taken by each member of the Christian
Endeavor Society Be Made a Help in the
Development of the Christian church,"
He arrived at the conclusion that it
could be assisted by their trust in the Lord
Jesus Christ and a willingness to do his
will; also by an earnest desire to lead a
Christian life and by taking Jesus Christ
as a pattern. He dwelt mainly upon faith
and the building up of character, and ar
gued that if only both attributes could be
attained the Christian Church would soon
be fourishing like green bay tree.
The second paper was on ''Our Hopes, 4"
and was delivered by Miss Elsie Holm
1t dealt mainly with the society's work,
which she traced from its beginning, two
years ago. She enumerated what had
been looked for, what had been done and
what there is yet to do. She urged the
young people to put forth greater efforts
in the work.
The musical programme was as follows:

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

Rev. III. r. Haweis Believes Religion Is
the Only True Solution.
Rev. n. R. Haweis believes religion is
the only solution of the marriage question
and the channel through which wholesale
divorcing can be prevented.
He outlined his views in Metropolitan
Hall yesterday morning to an audience
which filled the auditorium ana gallery
until standing room was at premium.
The hall mad been hired to accommodate
the numbers of people who have been
nightly turned away from Trinity Church.
The speaker held the attention of his
audience from a little after II o'clock until
12:45, and although he was CARRIED in the
surplice of the Episcopal church, he made
use of amusing expressions which were
received with laughter.
He said the recent uprising of the people
of San Francisco against the corruption
going on was the indirect results of the
free contract system of marriage.
He held that the marriage system as
outlined in the Episcopal prayer-book was
the only correct solution of the question.
To the men and women of San Francisco
he recommended the careful study of the
subject as therein laid down.
Divorce laws in England he considered
too rigid, while those in America are cor
respondingly lax. That is a subject he
believes can be regulated to some extent
by careful legislation.
The ministers of San Francisco who have
expressed their views as against divorce
were doing so upon the teachings of
Christ-"Those whom God hath joined to-
gether let no man put aSunder'-but they
overlooked the fact that the Book teaches
nothing about those Joined by the devil,
and their name is legion.
The congregation were appealed to for
more consideration of each others short
comings and the improvement of mutual
adaptability, which can be secured by yir-
tuous lives and the fear of God.

WOLVES OF SAN FRANCISCO"
A Sermon to Men Only at Metropolitan
Temple.

A Sermon to Men Only at metropolitan
Temple.
The Evolves of San Francisco was the
topic of Rev. j. Q. A. Henry's second SER
mon to larne audience to men only at
Metropolitan Temple. Last nights SER
vices inaugurated the third and last week
of the Baptist union revival meetings,
during which time about $50 persons, in
Guiding twenty-five last night, have gone
forward to ask for prayers. The title OF
play, The Wolves of New York, sugss
gested this sermon" said Rev. J. Q. A.
Henry in his sermon. care all the wolves
In New York, or are there some that have
wandered out to the Pacific Coast? If so,
are the men of San Francisco aware of
their destructive force, and are they wise
to put themselves under this influence and
allow their souls to be pilfered and their
characters destroyed? There is mentioned
in the Bible wolf that is more destructive
than whole army of jackals, wolf that
eats the heart and the lungs out of the
sheep.
1--WE have moral force-or rather 1
should say an immoral force-at work in
this city that is stealthily and success
fully operating for the overthrow of man
hood. The wolves of San Francisco do not
want the drunkards, the vags, the dead
| beats; they want the young men and
young women, the prosperous and
healthy and moral part of the COM
munity. And their most favorable time for
their nefarious work is during the hours
when men and women rest from their toll.
Low theaters, saloons and dance halls
are to be ranked among the most rapa-
cious, pitiless and devouring of all the
forces that operate to the downfall of men,
and it is in the nighttime they do their
most deadly work. In the daytime they
are comparatively quiet. AT s o'clock in
the evening the drinker is sensible, at 9
o'clock he is talkative, at 10 he is BIAS
phemous, at II absolutely beastly.
"But these are not the only wolves that
destroy. Gambling is one. The boy be-
gins by tossing pennies and ends by bet
ting heavy stakes at horse races with en-
bezzled money. Gambling and profanity
are sins without shadow of justification
for their commission.
"There are wolves among women as well
as among men. There are immoralities
like the wolf of Palatine that destroy not
only the life, but the soul, the heart of
young men. The inevitable wolf of death
is abroad. The safest guard for young men
against the evil influences of human wolves
are good companionship, pure literature
and Christian teaching.
"When tell you that only three per cent
of the $1,000 young men in this city are
members of the Christian church, and only
five per cent ever enter the church door,
you can see how the wolves of San Fran
cisco are tearing the souls out of the young
men,
