THE PEN|TENT|AL SEASON,
Father Wyman breaches an AID.
propriate Sermon at St.
Mary's Church.
Says the Spiritual Life Withers and
Dies Unless Renewed From
Time to Time.

Rev. Father Wyman preached a special
sermon relative to the approaching season
of Lent at st. Marvs Church on California
street yesterday morning. The text was:
Love not the world, nor the things that
are IN the world. If any man love the
world, the love OF the Father is not in
him"-First st. John ii:5. Father Wv.
man said:
Great as have been the evils which
Christians have suffered from persecution.
those which have been inflicted upon them
by what st. John calls the world are
greater. The torch, the sword, the teeth
OF wild beasts could not overcome many
who have been conquered by pride, avarice
and pleasure. The former are sharn.
quick and decisive; the latter like the cor
roding rust, the decaying wood, the evap-
Grating mists, are slow, but are not less
effective on this account. We are so mixed
up with the world and so affected bv it's
influences that 1t is only by great effort
and watchfulness that We can es
cape its blighting tendencies. Knowing
this the church, following the example
OF her founder and guided by the Holy
Spirit, has appointed forty DAYS out OF
every 800 or 366 in the year to repair the
ravages made by sin upon our souls. Just
as every material work of man, if left to
itself, decays and crumbles TO pieces. so
the spiritual life, unless renewed from
time to time, becomes dead.
The history of the people CT God from
the beginning of the world. it seems to
me, reveals the fact that INCONSISTENCY has
always been the great obstacle to spiritual
advancement. Divine impressions are like
the prints just taken from the photogra-
piers negative. If exposed for oniy a
short time to the sunlight they become
dim and gradually are effaced. God. VINO
is the giver of light to our understand.
ings, has also provided means by which.
with faithful cooperation on our part
these impressions may be retained.
Besides constantly thinking on these
truths, and thereby keeping them viyidIv
before our minds, we must also take
measures to prevent outside in 9uences
from marring them. We keep pride away
by voluntarily humbling ourselves: we
destroy the passion of avarice by generous
almsgiving; we restrain our inordinatc
love of pleasure by bodily mortifcation
This is the object Of the holy and peni.
tential season IN which we are soon to
enter.'' "

At OCEAN VIEW
Flashlight and Yreka Divided

the Main Stake.
Kilmore, Faster and Faster, Lord
Clifton and Electric Shared
the Consolation.

The largest crowd that ever assembled
at Ocean View Coursing Park witnessed
the running yesterday and saw races that
brought forth the utmost enthusiasm.
Eight pairs of dogs ran undecided courses
before the flag went up, and the excellence
of the sport tended to make the betting
heavier than ever before in the history of
the resort.
The run between Flashlight and Snow
bird was pronounced by ali TO be a clinker,
the points being equal in a race twice
across the field, until the kill gave Flash
light the advantage and the flag.
Both the regular and consolation stakes
were divided, the grueling courses pre-
vious to the finish making the owners Of
the dogs unwilling to put them 20 further
exertions. Following is the esult OF the
rundown IN the regular stake:

The next day was warmer and very
hay. The professor at breakfast looked
for some sign of agitation on the part
of Miss Van Deering, but that young
lady was thoroughly serene and self
conscious. Late in the afternoon, as
he sat in his room, a knock sounded at
the door, and on opening it he con-
fronted General Stanflope. To the sur
prise of the professor he held in ms
hand the well-known delineation of
Cuthbert Ogden.

ing, which has, brought me to my
senses-especialIy as it is given by one
who is a total stranger TO my nephew,
and so, of course, wholly without pref
udice"-
He paused for breath. The professor
avoided his eyes and looked grave and
uneasy. The general went on:
"The strangest part of it all is that

story. Now hear this: Moon in

heart, and though he had sought to
deprive the young man in question of

to ruin his entire career. Agitated by

The professor tip-toed out into the
corridor, which was dimly lighted, and
looked up and down to see whether he
might be observed by any other noctur-
nal wanderers. All was silent. He
moved cautiously down the wide,
creaking stairs, and presently found
himself before the library door. It
was closed. Quietly opening it he
stepped in, and by the moonlight that
streamed through the windows made
his way to the round, claw-footed table,
where he deposited the solar evidence
against Cuthbert Ogden, and returned
