THE SUN AND THE TlDh

Inch by inch up the sandy bar
Crept the tide at the close OF day;
Inch by inch In the west afar
The sun dropped down till the sky was gray.
Mingling in with the murmuring strife.
From wretched hut at the end OF town,
The first faint cry OF an infant life
AS the tide came up and the sun went down.
H.
Inch by inch from the sandy bar
Dro pped the tide at the break OF day;
Inch by inch at the east Gfar
The sun crepf Up and the sky was gay.
Blending in with the willow strife,
From the wretched hut at the end OF town.
The last faint sigh OF n mothers life
~ the Sun oeme up and the tide went down.

ing all who do not accept it to eternal tor
ments, to which those of the middle ages
would, in comparison, be quite comfort
able.
Now all of this might be of no particular
harm if the old and hardened reprobates
of the community could only be fright
cned into seeing the error of their ways
and led to seek salvation. In that case the
end would justify the means.
But the trouble is, the audiences of the
revivalists are made up largely of hyster-
cal women and children and ill or weak
minded men. All the art possible is used
by the exhorters to produce an impression,
and asylum statistics show only too well
how they succeed. When the victim is not
driven actually crazy by a conviction that
an angry God is eager and ready to punish
for the possible failings of weak human
nature, if man, he is likely to make life
miserable for his family. especially for his
children. Amusements ara refused them
and pleasure of any kind denounced
as n sin. Sunday is a day of horrors, a
day to be dreaded as the end of the week
approaches. If a woman, household duties
are neglected that the meetings may be
attended. Less ana less time is given to
the family. Constantly broodng over the
statements, so confidently given by the re-
vivalists, often produces monomania. A
mind is gone and a family wrecked quite
as effectually as by the recognized vices.
No calamity Is greater than insanity. No
outrage is greater than any means which
contributes to destroy the mind. And we
have the positive statement from the
asylums that religious mania is one of the
leading causes of insanity, not to speak of
the constant reports in the newspapers of
such cases.
The reputable clergymen of California
owe it as a duty to the community they
live in to discourage the religious quacks.
The record of the work of the latter is a
fearful one. The state, too, has an interest
in suppressing them, since every year a
new quota of unfortunates is incarcerated,
to remain a burden on the already hard
pressed taxpayers. II. 5.

getting ready for the split which has

an ordinary division possesses no sig

such Democracy it is case of divide

Mrs. S. S. Salisbury gave one of the
most recherche affairs of the week at her
home on South Pearl street yesterday af-
ternoon in honor of Mrs Howard Graham
Bundrem and as farewell TO her before
her departure to her new home in the
east. Only the sbuds and blossoms" of
the season were included in the invita-
tions, and when all were assembled in the
cosy rooms the bouquet formed was very
lovely one. Mrs. Salisbury was assisted in
receiving by the guest of honor, Mrs.
George Stimsop, of Pasadena, and Mrs. W.
B. Matthews, The color scheme chosen
for adorning the house was green and
white. White carnations were everywhere.
They tunbled out of half-tilted baskets,
and bowls were overflowing with the fra
grant flowers. A portiere of sInilax in tine
folding doors was caught to one side with
white satin RIBBON, and dividing the curtain
of green at the top was basket
of carnations held by large white satin
bow. The hallway was miniature forest of
bamboo; it was held against the sidewalk,
and on the banister of tho stairway white
satin ribbon held the graceful branches in
place. Out here was a refreshing bowl of
punch, presided over by Miss Helen Sails
bury and Gladys Williams. A riddle in
poetry was given the guests, and as it was
solved by each, a souvenir was drawn from
a table laden with dainty packages tied
with narrow green ribbon, the contents
proving some iaughable article with an ap-
propriate quotation. There were two
prizes, which fell to the lot of Miss May
Newton, a white silk sun shade, and Miss
Mark a pink and white satin pin-cushin.
There was charming surprise planned by
the hostess at o'clock, when the newly
made Benedicts arrived in q body to es-
cort the blossoms to their re-
spective homes. Refreshments were
served on small tables about the
room and were decorated in violet.
