Carter, V. B. Barnum, d. w. Browne
and Joel Gillenwater the deaconS of the
church being James J. Black and Vim. D.
Reyburn.
DR.. Holtsinger, at the morning serv-
ice, said in part: There is upon this
occasion abundant reason for congrat-
ulation and rejoicing. You have done
well-a home for God. God will bless
you. First, we find an institution or
organization in the world called the
church. Go back as far as you can, God
was its founder. What is the missison of
the church? First, to take care of it's
membership: second, to bring the world
to Christ; third what do you expect of
this church? That it will be in touch
with the lives of the people-a commun-
ity church for the whole people, lead
ing factor in the education of the peo-
pie; that it will exert a purifying in
fiuence upon the politics of the countrv.
ever insisting upon the highest order of
citizenship.
THE church alone can solve the social
problem. God has implanted the social
principle in us for wise and holy pur-
poses. Your church will feel that its
chief work is saving souls. Hence, work
inside and outside this building, upon
the highway and the hedge; that is
work to be done"

Theosophicai

Mrs. L. E. Giese delivered lecture
last night at Odd Fellows hall, on The
osophy, her subject being Natures Aim.
She said in part:
If one We're to ask the average Chris
tian what are we here for? he would
reply. We were born into this world to
acquire the right to have a soul when
we die. it not being apparent in their
system of thought that the soul has any
junction until after death. All nature is
the result Of divine edecation, so man is
also the result of his own thoughts that
heing the force that molds character,
the power of thought plainly manifested
by hypnotic experiments and thought
transference. AS Prof Draper says.
every thought is mirrored in the par
ticles of brain substance, which We
throw off in a constant stream Relig-
ion says that man il soul, that he al
ways has been and always will be a
soul; that he takes a body for habita-
tion for the evolution Of that soul to
higher states; having worn out that
body he leaves it and enjoys period of
rest. after which he again returns for
further progress. The wisdom re-
ligion teaches is that the uni
verse exists for the evolution Of the
soul. When men come to realize this
fact more fully they will be compelled
to answer in the affirmative the ques-
tion, Am I my brothers keeper?''

At WestIake Yesterday

A chill wind whistled from the west
across the broad mesa toward the ocean,
and caused a perceptible diminution of
the usual Sunday crowd at Westlake
yesterday. Those who occupied the
benches near the band stand generally
sought out sunny spot where the snap
of the breeze was not so keenly felt as
in the shade, and those not fortunate
enough to be able to secure such a seat
kept their wraps tightly snuggled
around them. A number Of boats
floated upon the lake filled with merry
parties, but the breeze was rather too
strong and puffy for the sail boats in SO
confined an area.
Seventh street was we'll filed with
carriages, whose occupants listened to
the music as tie band played on, and
the bicyclists as usual were much in
evidence. An excellent program of Sc
lections was rendered and was we'll re-
ceived by the crowd, many of whom ap-
peared to be strangers in the city and
viewing Westlake for the first time.
AS the sun sank toward the horizon
the gathering dispersed, probably to re-
tire early and store up surplus energy
for the exciting events of the week to
come. Nearly all the electric cars car
ried trailers, but no difficulty was ex-
perienced in handling the people home
ward bound.

evening the speaker presented Medium
ship and Its Laws to a large audience.
She apparently logically demonstrated
mediumship to have held a prominent
place in Biblical events, namely, proph-

roll away the stone from the door of

chorus refrain. A brief but emphatic
exhibition of Mrs. Foye's mediumistic
powers COMPLETED the services.

DEATH BY AFFIRMATION.
Sensational End to the Life of Famous
Pacific Coast Woman.

Sensational End to the Life of Famous
Pacific Coast Woman.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Mrs Sarah II.
Cooper and her daughter, Hurrriet Cooper,
were found dead in their home in this
city yesterday with the gas turned on and
every evidence of suicide. Mrs Cooper
had lived here thirty years. and was
widely known as an educator, philan-
thropist and writer. When the scandal
concerning Rev. DR. Charles o. Brown
was first talked about Mrs. Cooper stood
by her pastor and expressed confidence in
him. Later Developments caused her to
change her mind, and she and her daughter
hotHme his most prominent opponents
and acGusers after Mrs. Davidson. The
action of mother and daughter estranged
many of their friends, and the suicide of
mother and daughter Is ascribed to the
brooding over coldness and snubs from
former friends
No woman on the Pacific coast has been
so prominent for a generation as Mrs.
Cooper who has often preached in Con-
gregational pulpits and has been enga ged
in all departments of Christian work. She
was president of the Women's Oh ristian
association, president of the Women s
Suffrage association, and prominent as an
officer of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union. For many years she taught
the largest Bible class in the city in the
First Congregational church, her class
numbering several hundred adults. She
was also assistant pastor of the church
under the pastorate of Rev. DR.. Q. o.
Brown. She formerly resided in New Or
leans and acted as nurse during the war.
Her husband and other children died in
k,a a
an Immense sensation in this city.
There is no doubt that Miss Cooper was
responsible for the deaths of herself and
mother. She had been suffering for
months from melancholia, with homoci-
dal and suicidal tendencies. Her father
committed suicide ten years ago, and two
cousins, nephews Of her father also killed
themselves Harriet Cooper had made
several previous attempts to end her life.
Mrs. Cooper concealed her daughters con-
dition from all except a few intimate
friends, and had arranged to take her
daughter east soon TO place her in care of
relatives, hoping the change might restore
her health.
1t is known that durin the past few
days Miss Cooper attempted suicide by
asphyxiation, but was detected by her
mother. During the past three nights
Mrs Cooper had watched her daughter,
and it is supposed that, Thursday night
she fell asleep from exhaustion. Her
daughter then took advantage Of the op-
portunicy, and after turning on the gas
lay down beside Mrs. Cooper.
Harriet left note TO tho coroner request
ing that the bodies might not be removed
TO the morgue. At first the coroner re-
fused to accede to the REQUEST, but through
the interoesslon of many friends the
corpses were allowed to repose side by
side in the death chamber.
