The Rev. DR.. John A. B. Wilson has
begun his pastnrate of the Howard-stree
Methodist Church in an earnest and
energetic way, which has greatly pleased
his new congregation. They were
enthusiastic in praising him last night,
both for his two first sermons and for the
iorceful manner in which he has starled
into his general duties of serving his flock
He has taken right hold" is the way
some of mis- people EXPRESSED it.
The new pastors sermon yes terday
morning was on the subject of "The Cure
OF Care" and he TOOK his text from Phil.

every thing by prayer and supplication,
win Thanksgiving. let your requests be

God which passeth understanding shall
keep your heart and mind through Christ

he announced as propositions for dis
cussion the care prohibi,ed; anxiety and
distractions of mind; the course COM

Professor Franklin Steiner gave a lee

thinkers at Scottish Hall last night The
subject OF his lecture was Morality With

in Place OF Christianity"
Professor Steiner dwelt on the ethics OF
morality apart from Christianity. Free
thought ideas of morality" he said,
should be based upon this and not upon
the future life, as taught by the modern
minister. We do not deny the existence
of God, but we do. claim that God has

you than all your study of the Bible. To
sum the whole matter UP, man should be

them to escape the Roman persecution.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct 10.-Mrs. J. A.

North Berkeley Congregational Church,
filed her husbands place in the pulp pit,
preaching on the theme, Gods Fools"
Mrs. Cruzan spoke from the text, I'VE

God 5 wisest men have always been the
worlds fools" she declared. at is so
much easier TO call names than to under
stand people. The very fact that people
NE different from us angers US and we
vent our spite against them in calling
names. Such was the case when Noah
after patiently building his ark for 12O
years in spite of the jeers and sneers
of those about him, fioated hign one
morning after a heavy rainsJorm, while
the scoffers remained in the water.
Again, some 1900 years ago a young
man IN Palestine came into notice as a
preacher. He mi ght have risen to De
even King, as his friends tesought him
10 do, but he resolutely refused. He
sought not the society of the learned or
cultured, but cast his lot with the outcas
and the sick, and finally died between two
thieves, one OF whom taunted him even in
his dying agony. His enemies jeered, his
friends were disappointed and his life was
4 failure as the world sees 1t.
Paul, who might have risen to promi-
nent ecclesiastical position, chose other
wise, and died at last a malefactor, broken
down and pOverty-stricken. HIS life was
apparently a total and utter failure, vet

England. So it was with William Lloyd
Garrison, who because he persisted in
publishing his 'Liberator,' was dragged,

streets OF Boston by mob In which were

IN our own time it is as difficult as ever
Tor man 10 stand firmly for what he
knows 10 be right. The Christian busl-
ness man who fights the saloon power or
anv other great evil will have his share OF
persecution. These men are the real
Christian heroes, and they often have to
endure both i'll trea ment from wi hout

" THE SECRET OF HAPPINEss.'
Rev. +. V. Jones lays 1t Is Found in
Unselfis fishness.

Rev. II. v. Jones lays 1t Is Found In
Unselfishness.
Rev. f. V. Jones of San Mateo occupied
the pulpit of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church last evening and spoke from
the subject, 1.-The Secret of Happiness.
In part he said:
Happiness is the ore longing OF the entire
human race, ana since this is true it is well to
Inquire into The secret and ascertain how il
may be obtained. IL cannot be secured by
wishing for it. The time has passed when we
could "sing our souls away to realms of end
less bliss" Neither can happiness be earned,
tor IL comes 10 us as reward and not as
wages. The possession of wealth or worldly
houor does not OF itself bring happiness. ii
cannot be sought and obtained, for happiness
i not the end, but it Is means to the END.
God does not send down upon us happiness as
he does the sunshine. but he has put in our
hands The means TO obtain IL.
"Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for
his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God ~
The JOY OF Chrisps lie that he became
poor that we might become rich When VIC
come into full fellowship with God, have his
love and reflect that love back on TO Others
then will we be truly happy. Therefore the
true secret of happiness is unselfishness. The
only way TO have the best things of lite is 10
give them away. If we love and care for our
fellow-men, do the best we can when we have
anything to do and always remember that
God is on the throne and place our trust in
Him, then, aad then alone, will we have real
Joy in our hearts.

A great many of the curious. minded
visited Howard-street wharf yesterday 10

brought down the news of the rescue OF
fourteen shipwrecked sailors. The prin-
cipaI object which excited their attention
was the canvas boat in which eight OF the
survivors floaied round before they were
picked up.
This boat is indeed peculiar affair. 1t
is about fourteen feet long and four feet

ribs are made with barrel slaves, and the
bottom is covered with an extra layer of
canvas. Prior TO dragging The boat over

away as was expected, owing TO the fact
that her stores were not brought on board
in time. She will probably sail some time
to-day.

pleasure kers on voyage to Antioch
yesterday and returned in the evening.
Another party of excursiOnists took a
cruise around the bay and up to Vallejo
