be divided. DIR. Wilson wAs asked I'd ad
dress the meeting at the Congregational
church and Sankey was requested to con.
| duct the singine. DR.: Wilson, who had
| been asked for the tabernacle, was moi
| pleased at the change. Ard the services al
the Congregational church consisted of
| songs and the experiences OF Mr.. Sankey.
At the tabernacle the exercises were
opened With Is very fine musical program,
given by the Y. M. c. A. orchestra, who
rendered q number of very creditable Sc
lections. The congregational singing was
also unusually good. One of the selections,
Whittier Than Snow, was given in a very de-
lightful and novel manner. 1t was sung
in two parts by the main body of the audi.
torium, and by the audience in the gal
leries.
DR.. Brookes, who had arrived in Los An
geles only two hours before the meeting,
was not in touch for long speech and
spoke very briefly, which was a great dis
appointment to the entire gathering,
who had looked forward to his adj
dress as the. feature Of the whole
day. The discourse, though short,
was remarkable for power, strength and
depth of argument, with no attempt at the
sensational, but dignifled and scholarly,
like the man himself. Its theme was the
Scriptures, which signitied the unbroken
sword. Some of his thoughts were: "The
Scriptures are inspired. They are holy.
cannot be broken. No ingenuity can dis
cover single error of doctrine. They are
an unerring guide" DR.. Brookes quoted
endless passages of Scripture to prove their
divinity and fiercely attacked the writer's
Of recent days who have sought to disprove
their inspiration.
II do not speak tonight to please YOU"
he said, "but to preach the Christ and him
crucif1ed. lou died when he died. You
we're buriedwhen he was buried. You arose
when ne arose. You assembled with him,
and you are seated in heaven with him as
your representative head, and when he
shall appear you shall appear with him. Ye
are one with Christ in God"
Although the evening services did not |
fulnll the expectations of the four or five !
thousand people who had looked forward |
to them, yet both speakers whose presence |
and lectures had been eagerly anticipated |
with pleasure, will be heard from in other |
sessions of the convention. The order of |

memorable and hallowed the 22d of Feb

ton OF Richmond have resolved 10 honor
and celebrate IL publicly, and obtained
the consent OF Mr.. Francis Rives Lassiter,
OF Petersburg. to lend the well-known
attraction Of his pen and tongue TO the
occasion, by an address before them and
the public in the hall OF the House ol
Delegates As the ladies have decided to
occupy the whole OF the 2ed with the in
auguration of their Confederate Museum
the Sons Of the American Revolution have
determined 10 take the evening OF the
2lst. and, even II any untoward circum.
stances should prevent Mr.. Lassiter from
fulfilling his engagement. the celebration
will take place on the 2lst with such
substituted programme as the Sons OF

latter has always required of its members
strictly lIneal descent A sentiment In
favor OF consolidating the two bodies
is very strong and growing. Both national
bodies did, few years ago. meet at the
same time and In the same city, for the
purpose OF negotiating the terms of a
union. 1t was believed that satisfactory
terms and plan had been arrived at. but,
on the very eve OF consummating TIE ex-

which, unfortunately, prevented 1t. But
no criticism OF the action OF either party
Is deemed expedient The subject Is still
pending. and some OF the State branches
are dealing with II In a very proper and
practical manner. In Ohio, 1.-The Sons OF

with portraits and biographies OF many OF

Is the more notable and commendable,

on the 18th OF December 1886. both So
cieties in Minnesota met In the city OF

and celebrated the result with addresses
from members OF each society. May the
foregoing examples prove contagious. for
the Minnesotans have sent to each State
society a very neat circular, headed with
the seals of both societies, and signed by
the presidents and secretaries of both.
Both Ohio and Minnesota recommend
lineal descent only as q basis OF member

SOME EARLY HISTORY.
1t Is a curious fact as TO the origin OF
the Sons OF the American Revolution that
the pioneer branch was formed In Cali
fornla, under the title OF Sons OF Ameri-
can ssres'' (changed TO Sons OF the
American Revolution") by descendants
OF officers, soldiers. aud seamen ct tho
Revolution. who met IN San Francisco
July 4, 1915. for the purpose Of celebrating
the fc9th anniversary OF the DECLARATION
Of Independence. our sires won our IN
dependence along and near our Atlantic
border; their descendants first think Of
honoring them In this manner ON ths
shores OF the Pacific, ard not until tins
Atlantic strip Of thirteen feeble States
had expanded into . continent OF more
than forty States.
The national society was formed N

and some stirring remarks were added by
a ylsitor-Mr. John Winfield Scott. secre-
tary Of the New York Society Of the Sons
of the American Revolution. Then the
Virginia society repaired TO the Com
monwealth Club, and partook Of the
liberal menu which had there been pro-
yided for them. In addition to Mr.. Scott.
they had as guests Mr.. c. W. Haskns.

their selfishness and lack OF ga.lantry.
KINDRED ORGANIZATIONS.
The fostering and spreading Of the
dlial. the reyerential, and the patriotic
are not confined 70 the Sons and Daugh-
tiers OF the American Revolution; for the
Colonial Danes and the Association for
the Preservation OF Virginia Antiquities
are rendering valuable and laudable SER
vice In kindred directions. There are
other organizations which are cherishing
a cause very dear TO southern hearts. but
as they do not relate TO the Revolutionary
era their noble works can here be only
alluded TO.
The Colonial Danes have just shown
what they can do by their recent grand
entertainment at the Commonwealth
