First-That pastors preach on the subject of
foreign missions on the morning of the second
Sabbath in January. Second - That the
churches during the coming year use the

ssions. Third-That the young peoples work
be under the care of the pres bytery's perma-
nent committee of foreign missions: Fourth
That we overture the synod TO make The syn

his place for at least five years.
In accordance with the recommends
tions Rev. S. S. Palmer and Rev. r. f.

winners.
Denmark VS.. Portugal were tie next to
mount the platform, and in minutes and
10 seconds the Danes had pulled the per-

Oil the result OF this tug was 20 to 3 in
favor of the winners
The last and best pull of the evening
was between Norway and Italy, with bet.
ting 2 to 1 on the Norwegian team. From
the word go until the limited time of
thirty minutes had been reached there
was no relaxation in the strain on the
rope.
During the first twenty minutes Italy
had gained about eighteen inches, when
the Norwegian team set its teeth and
heels and tugged and pulled, drawing the
rope away from its adversaries until 1T
was within the sixteenth part OF an inch
of the winning point and was about TO
knock the crossbar down, when G. w.
Freese, the referee, blew his whistle,
which left the contest draw.
The enthusiasm during this entire con-
test had been un bounded.
The attendance yesterday was much
better than on the previous night and the
contending teams showed, if anything,
renewed vigor in the struggles to achieve
victory.
The first contest of the evening was be-
tween Sweden and Slavonia. The bettin G
was to l on the Swedes, but there was
NO Slovenian money in sight. The wis
dom of this was seen from the time the
men took their places on the cleats, as the
Slavonians kept losing gradually until the
Swedes, with one lurch, brought the per-
pendicular bar against the crosspiece,
when they were declared the winners In
9 minutes and u seconds.
The next contest was between the
Americans and Denmark. The betting
on this contest was 10 TO 4 in favor OF
Denmark, but this condition changed to
2 to l. Denmark had gradually drawn to
their side until they covered six cleats,
when the Americans, by one grand squirt,
recovered their lost ground and after a
short rest OF few minutes started to run
the carriage along the track until the
crossbar fell. The result OF this contest
brought the house down with roar OF
applause. This is the first instance IN
which the short-enders won.
d The third contest was between Portugal
and Norway. The betting on this result
was 5 to 2 in favor of Norway, but this
kept changing until it. was 10 to 2, with
even money that Norway would win in
five minutes. 1t only required one min
u1es and twenty seconds, however, until
the Norwegians had won.
The third contest was between Ireland
and Germany. The betting on this was
10 to on Ireland. Germany was not in
it, for in five minutes and thirty eight
seconds Forbes pistol announced that
the late OF Germany had been sealed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when q

weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up TO the mental suffering day or

such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was question whether he had not
better take dose of poison and thus end all
his throubes. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape OF a eombina ton
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and

WORK OF HIGH
. SCHOOL GRADUA TES
The Class of '96 Gives Proof
of Its Ability to Earn
Diplomas.
Artist Hoffman Furnishes a
Poster of a Typical Girl
Graduate.
M SIS Vrooman Prophesies, Miss White
head Says Farewell" and Charles
Ayres Handles Fruit Cans.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
one Proad wau noo TX


908 Broadway, Dec. Is.
The High School graduating class of
1896 has Just issued their own edition of
the "Egis." The writers have taken up
for their class essays many interesting
subjects and have handled them with a
degree of discretion and ability which is a
credit alike to them and their institution.
The class consists of thirty-six gradu-
ates, about equally divided between boys
and girls, and they announce as their
motto:
All! but a mans reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's heaven for?
The class artist, John D. Hoffman. has
drawn poster which represents typical
high school graduate of the class of '96,
and it compares favo-ably with the work
of many older artists.
Miss Lucy Vrooman makes a class
prophecy which has much more merit
than is usually found in similar theses.
She carries the various mem bers of her
class through their respective futures and
prophesies for them distinction which will
land them far higher up the ladder of
fame than many of them will doubtless
fulfill.
The practical side of life is handled by
Charles t. Ayres, who deals not in prophe-
cies or Visions but in the details of the
practical making of fruit cans. If Mr..
Ayres has learned all his Information in
this branch of manufacture In the Oak
land High School the education there i'm
parted is certainly more practical than
that of any other high school in the land.
For high school graduate, the author on
''How Fruit Cans Are Made" must have
been remarkably industrious.
The Farewell" of the class is written
by Miss Louise Whitehead and, if she ex-
presses the sentiments of her fellow grad
yates, Principal McChesney stands very
high in their estimation, for she acknowl-
edges that his efforts have been directed
toward making them love learning for
learning's sake.
The class history is written by Eugene
w. Roland, and he recites briefly but
clearly the various stages through which a
graduate passes from initiation to gradua-
ton.
Judging from the experience of some of
its members, the graduates OF So cannot
fail to prove very daring in their future
lives, for many of the scrapes to which
Mr.. Roland refers must have required
more grit than is usually found even in
high school boys.
Miss Margaret Troili is the class poet.
1t would take too much space to repro
duce her effort, but she gl.des smoothly
along from Shelley and Keats down to
Wordsworth and Browning and her poem
is one of the best of its kind that has ema-
mated from the High School,
