went on cutting away the iashings of
the boat. Then Taylor shouted: TIL
shoot the man who cuts away the boat.
The Spaniards looked at the chief en-
gineer and then sullenly obeyed.
During the excitement of the first
half hour we did not know that any
one had gotten out of the steerage
alive, and later we found in the cabin
that eight of them had managed to get
out. Their hunks had been nearest to
the companionway, and they had been
awakened by the part of the crew rush
ing out of the forecastle. Among those
saved was an old man, his wife and
two sons, a young Englishman and two
other young men bound for Los An
geles.
''In the extreme bow of the ship was
the forecastle, where two watches of
about 20 or 30 men were sleeping These
men, being light sleepers, were aroused
at the first alarm of fire and waited for
nothing. They ran through the narrow
passageway to the stairs, already filled
with smoke, and gained the deck just
in times. Most of them had scarcely
any clothing on, and none had saved
a mess kit.
1.-TWO walters and a cook, who were
slow to rush out, lost their lives. When
they tried to follow their companions
the passageway was filled with fire,
and it was too late.
"The flames gained steadily. They
began to work aft through the cargo
on the main deck. Then there was
fresh burst of flames. and the sailors

Now concerning spiritual gifts, breth-
ren.-I. Cor xii, /.
Mankind specially stands in need of
two things-a religion that can be
used for every day purpo: es.
1t used to be the custom to regard
religion solely as means of prepara-
ton for the future. To-day was given
that we might get ready for to-mor-
row. The purpose of faith was to fl,
US for acceptance with God by and by.
The present was thought of only as a
vale Of tears from which we should
emerge at death to enter an eternity
Of blessedness or woe.
There is some truth in this aspect OF
religion, but not the whole truth. The
future is certainly very important, and
we ought to be properly equipped for
it, but the present is of even more
importance, since character is what
decides mans fate, and we are lay
ing the foundations of character here
and now.
The best kind Of religion is one
which takes your eyes away from the
future, giving you only occasional
gllmpses Of it by way of comfort and
consolation, and fixes them On the
best means of making this little life
beautiful, because we may lay it down
as safe rule that if man does not 20
wrong here he cannot 60 wrong here
after.

more favored sections. The quality
of cc,tcn from this State is goon and
there has been for many years steady
demand for the crop from certain
countries.
As the land of the grape, this State
has no superior, even in Calitornia.
/ he frs, Adventures who landed on
its coast were bewildered and amazed
at the luxurlance Of its grapes, growing
in profuson everywhere. And it was
no stretch Of ,hr Imagination of the
early settlers that from the seacoast TO
the mountains, this would eventually
become the land Of the vine and the
fruitful source of wines that would
successfully rival in quality and abun
dance the fruitful vineyards OF Europe.
The grape is indigenous TO this section,
and the conditions of soil and climate
seem 10 combine TO produce all varle
ties in almost absolute perfection. So
prolific is the muscadlne that single
plant has been known to produce
from one TO five barrels of wine.
What is true IN regard to grape
culture is equally SO of fruit raising;
peaches, pears, aprlcots, plums, apples,
ounces, and all other varieties of irul,
are raised in all parts Of the State
with the greatest ease and at a good
profit.
This Stale is admirably adapted TO
stock raising, as the vegetation is both
abundant and nutritious, and the
labors Of the husbandman are gener-
ously rewarded. Cattle, horses and
sheep can be raised with the greatest
facility, and at minimum expense, and
good pasturage lasts from the first of
April to November. And there are
sections, al, ng the sides and even on
the tops of the mountains, where
horses and cattle can live and do we'll
the year round.
This State is we'll wa,ered, and
owing to the fact that the rivers in the
middle and Western sections rise in
the mountains and on the high table
lands, they develop an imnense water
power. Several of these expand into
wide estuarles as they approach the
sea and, connecting with the sounds
and bays, provide ports and harbors
suitable for exterior commerce, foreign
and domestic.
