Third congregational.

The services at the Third Congregational
Church were we'll attended by crowded
congregations morning and evening. In
the morning the sacrament of the Lords
supper was observed and new members
admitted. Rev. William RAIDER, the pastor,
spoke on 1.-THE Victorious Christ" In the
evening there was special musical SER
vice, of which the solo by Miss Grace Car
roll of Oakland was the feature. The pastor
spoke on The Easter Message" He said:
I'm his Redemption Gounod does not
omit chapter in the life of Christ. He
rightly sees redemption in his life and
death. Resurrection completes cruci-
fxion. 1t is Gods tribute to man. 1t
puts purpose into existence. Easter
brings message of peace, the force of
love, not the love of force. The idea cele-
brated by Easter is that life is more than
death. The vacant tomb sends message
of Joy. Irreligion is doubtful, religion is
happiness. The deepest, grandest Easter
note is ioy."

IN HONOR OF MRS, COOPER
Sunday School and kindergarten
Named for the Earnest
Public Worker.
Steps Taken Looking to the Organi.
zation of a Church for the
Sunset District.

The Sarah B. Cooper Congregational
Christian Endeavor Sunday-school and
kindergarten was formally dedicated yes
terday. The heavy rain and cold west
wind did not prevent the little building
at the corner of Ninth avenue and H
street from being crow ded to its utmost
capacity.
The exercises opened with short, fer.
vent prayer, the California Quartet follow
ing with song appropriate to the occa-
sion. Mrs. r. A. Tuttle, to whose earnest
work the present organization owes its ex-
istence, made few remarks covering the
period of her first work in the Sunset dis.
trict down to the present time. The first
meeting was held on the last Sunday of
the year just past at which time some
eighteen children presented their names
for membership. The Sunday school now
boasts of forty-two scholars, the End
orers' society having just nine less.
Mr.. Tuttle, who has been actively inter-
ested in the work of the new organization,
then spoke as follows:
Mrs. Cooper and Mem bers of her Bible Glass:
We extend to you hearty welcome, dear
friends, for we feel it an honor, the visit you be-
stow upon us to-day. and the interest you take
in this little grain of mustard seed, which, be-
| lieve, God has planted here in Sunset Heights
and the result OF the work has Just begun to
develop by tWenty-One cOnfeSSlng Christ and
trying to lead Christian life. Our Sunday
school has forty-two members; our Christian
Endeavor has a membership OF thirty-three,
and they are progressing finely in the Masters
work
About three years ago Mrs. Cooper was
teaching in one OF her greatest moods. Her
eloouence was almost divine. Her clearness of
| thought, awakened by her enthusiasm in the
Masters work, was impressive. Her beautiful
power OF illustration and the depths OF her
feeling showed the broadness of her sympathy V
and most touching tenderness, appealing to
our best feelings
day was, "What are you doing for Christ and
the uplifting Of humanity?" And from that
day ! was converted man. and | made the
resolve then, that with Gods help would re-
day.
Mrs. Cooper said in reply that she ap-
preciated greatly the honor that had been
conferred on her name. She was sure that
with such earnest workers at the head of
the new organization it could not fail to
become shining light IN Gods field of
Christian workers.
Following the dedicatory services George
Gaden made an earnest appeal for an I'M
mediate church organization. Rev. Mr.
Writ warmly seconded his remarks with
the result that the people of Sunset Valley
will soon have Congregational church in
their midst. Mrs. Cooper's Bible class has
pledged one-half of the pastors salary and
it required only few minutes work on
Mr.. Wirt's part to secure promises for the
balance.
Another meeting will be held this week,
when letters -missive Will be addressed to
the Bay Conference asking that they be
recognized.
This is the first church in America Or
ganiZed under the new Congregational
rules.

campaigning with Grant"

The Century Magazine bids fair to repeat the
success Of its famous War Papers with series
of articles entitled Cam paigning with Grant,"
written by his Aid and, intimate friend, Gen.
Horace Porter, which will begin to appear in
the November number, ready on the 28th of
October. From his irst engagement at Belmont
to the dawn of peace atIAppomattox, no officer
OH the Union side was more completely in the
public view than tGen. Grant. His simple,
direct personality was in no way concealed !;
his official duties were pursued without osten-
tation; he had w3yIof doing his own writing
and of excluding from it all consciousness of
himself as persQpsgs; his immortal Me-
moirs" are very modest, yelling his personality.
Gen. Horace Porter met Gen. Grant first at
Chattanooga, in October, 1868; and, six months
later, when Gen. Grant went to Washington as
GeneTal-in. Chief. Col. Porter was transferred
to his personal staff as Aid-de-Camp. From
that day until the end of Grants FIRST term as
President, he was the companion as we'll rs the
faithful Aid Of his Chief, and was charged with
more than one important special message, like
the visit to Sherman preparatory to the march
to the sea. A literary taste, developed on the
side of public speaking. enabled the staff Off.

the camp, to respond Oh behalf Of the victori-
Gus General, who had not yet accustomed him

Browns Hotel. The occasion was grand one.
The President and the Cabinet were invited to
be present, as were also the members of the
Senate and the House of Representatives.
Though the illumination was success in every
particular there were many who doubted the
practicabiity of the new illuminant. The
guests of the hotel did not relish the innovation,
and some Of them, thinking that there was
danger in it. took rooms at neighboring hotels.
The gas burners had no check on them, and
many is the person who turned on full flow
of gas in turning out the fame. Some of these
