POLITICS AND RELIGION.

ing Wide Attention.


Since the first Sunday In September
there has been steady increase In the
attendance at St. Paups Episcopal
Church. This fact Is worthy Of note,
because the increase has been mainly
Of men, whereas heretofore the at
tendance has been ten women to one
man. Last Sunday night It was about
evenly divided, and tomorrow promises
to reverse the former order Of things
entirely
The pro and con Is that Rev. Charles
Mel, formerly of Sausalito and San
Francisco, has taken this parish In
hand, and by increasing the brightness
Of the service, both In the choir and
pulpit, intends to impress his congre-
cations with the fact that this church
Is Christ's house and a home for all.
especially the workingmen and women,
who may need assistance either in body
or SOUL
He is giving a series OF sermons, or
lectures, on politics (non-partisan)
every Sunday evening. The subject
last Sunday was based on the sixteenth
chapter Of st. Matthew, verses second
and third. Mr.. Mel expressed In a
very effective and lucid manner his
IDEAS on this subject as applied to the
relation Of politics to religitn.
This was An introduction to the main
subject Tomorrow evening will be tho
beginning Of the series proper. Men
especially are invited to hear what he
has to say on the subject.
