THE REMEDY.

There is but one remedy for the ills OF So
ciety That is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the great thought OF which is recon-
ciliation by sacrifice. The Golden Rule must
be applied. and when generally applied we
will find that godliness has promise of the
life that now is, as well as of that which is
to come.-Rev. j. B. Westcott, Methodist,
Philadelphia.

AT times like these men need the courage
of DIS convictions. Party loyalty ought
not to make such gluttons of men that
they would swallow fasiehooI. Greed
for office ought not to he SO great that
they would Iudorse what they believe to
be wrong. Loyalty to principles rather
than To men, seeking the right instead of
the office, subordinaticn of self to the
general coed requires a courage which is
both manly and patriotic. The Rev. W. II
Preston, Presbyterian, Doylestown, Pa.

There are two processes for the trans.

IDEAL LIVES,

God has for each life perfectly good
great and beautiful ideal. But bet
most lives and Gods ideal for them some
evils have come in to complicate the situa-
ton. Defective Inheritance or constitL tional
tendency, or the baneful potency of some
bad social Influence, or sickness or sorrow,
or some other hindrance, stands in almost
every path, preventing 10 some appreciable
extent human lives from being all they
were meant to be. The Rev. G. c. Hall,
Presbyterian, Brooklyn, n. Y.

from those who have known him for sew
eral years.
Spackman is an Englishman, with
history of the kind that does not generally
belong to man that fears the future suffi-
ciently to anticipate it by violent death.
The missing man was a desrrter from
the British army, and for long time after
he came to Oakland he was always In fear
of being found by detective. When in
company he would frequently point out
man and declare that he was shadowing
him. Spackman did this so often that he
created the i'm preston that desertion was
not the only cause-for which he left Eng
land.
After time Spackman entered the Sal
vation Army and was very devout wor-
shipper for a time. While an ardent re-
ligionist he met Miss Christine Christen-
son, who wore hallelujah bonnet and
sang very sweeuy. Spackman and Miss
Christensen became very friendlySand one
day they were both missing. They went
north and lived a few months, and then
Spackman came back to Oakland Miss
Christensen has since married.
After his return to Oakland Spackmau
received pardon from Queen Victoria for
deserting her army, and he exhibited it
with much satisfaction. He soon entered
labor orator and Kellyite. His next
move was to marry his present wife and
open a small fruitstore on Franklin street.
The store was not paying venture, and
one night it was seriously damaged by
fire. t. g insurance companies wer- not
quite certain of the fires origin and found
no difficulty in effecting compromise for.
a much smaller figure than the policy
called for. Spackman has been living fin
West Oakland for some time and worked
at the racetrack. Since his marriage,
about four years ago, he has always looked
after the interests of his family. Very
little faith is placed in the letter he wrote
to his sister in England mentioning
suicide and it is thought he is in some
other part of the State.

SABBATH OF STAGNATION
The Rev. Mr.. Ford and His
Flock Do Not Believe
in It.
Though Down on Sunday Picnics, He
Wou Favor Religious Outings
on the Lords Day.

81 don't believe in a Sabbath of stagna-
tion," said the Rev. Francis S. Ford yes
terday, ''and the Christian church, of
which l am minister, in order to avoid
any term saVoring of the severe Mosaic
Sabbath, calls the weekly day of rest,
recreation and religious worship by its
civil name, Sunday, or by the New Testa-
ment designation, the Lords day."
Last Sunday evening Mr.. Ford preached
sermon in his church on Twelfth street,
taking for his subject Modern Pharisa-
ism," in which he expressed some views
which appear to be somewhat at variance
with the notions OF the more straight
laced among the evangelical" clergy.
II am willing to stand by what / said in
that sermon" continued the young and
popular preacher. "Of course l do not
wish to be misunderstood or misrepre-
sented. The Sunday picnic with its scenes
of rioting and improperly l consider an
abomination. The Lords day passed
amid the toll and turmoil of the office,
shop or workroom is as bad II not worse.
What l long for is a reasonable Chris
tain manner of observing the day set apart
by the early church as one OF worship and
delight.
.sIhe Apostles left us pure and simple
Christianity, devoid of Jewish or pagan
forms, and free from the stiff ceremon-
ialism of the Pharisee. What we ould
do is to essay the restoration OF this early
purity and simplicity. Regarding this
one point of Sunday observance, Trajan's
letter, an ancient document of undoubted
authenticity, states that the early Chris
tians were in the habit of meeting and
partaking of the Eucharist at an early
hour on the first day of the week in order
that the remainder of the day might be
left free.
"What I would suggest for working
people would be either early church SER
vices, such as the Catholics have, leaving
the remainder of the Sunday free for any
innocent recreation, or else a sort OF
sanctifed Christianized excursion, the
pastor and his flock going forth together
to listen to the word of God, to pray and
sing hymns under tue trees, and then to
enjoy the beauties of the same Gods
handiwork in nature"
When asked how soon he intended car
rying the last suggestion into effect, Mr..
Ford answered:
"Ah, that is rather hard to say. At the
same time, such thing may come to
pass. Meanwhile, / hope my flock will
say when each recurring Sunday dawns:
This is the day the Lord hath made; let
US rejoice and be glad therein

Berke1ey's Prize Vegetable That

Wind ws.

BERKELEY, CAL. Oct. 81. Fl. JET
fress, who lives on Delaware street, is the
possessor of tomato vine 17h feet in
height and II feet in breadth, which ne
has trained up the side of his house. The
vine Is just seventeen months old, and
from it already there have been picked
1000 pounds of fine. large, marketable to-
matoes. The prospects are favorable for
the yielding OF as much more.
The vine withstood remarkably the
cold weather of last winter, and only
ceased to bear during the months OF De-
cember, January and February. During
the winter 1t she'd its leaves after the m an
her of an apple tree, but in g early
spring new shoots and new foliage were
sent out.
To-day the vine has growing on 1t ripe
tomatoes, green tomatoes flowers and
tiny buds.
The vine is the pride of the community,
and scores of people from niles around
have come to gaze on this prolific speci-
men of vegetable life. 1t is to Berkeley
what the famous spreading grapevine in
the Carpenteria Valley is to Santa Bar
bara.
