them is that high tide comes, as a rule

The feeling manifest in the converse ton

how many high tides a day do 70 have

We feel that we can depend on one

icy tone of sarcasm

The opposite of a spring tide isn't a sum

spring tide is the tide that comes at the

REDEEMING THE TIME
Rev. j. w. Ball at the English Lu-
theran Church


AS yesterday was the anniversary of
the beginning of the Reformation, the
service at the English Lutheran church
bore upon that subject, and Rev Ball
took his subject from Eph. v:15-20, Sc
lecting as his subject "Redeeming the
Time" and making frequent illusions to
the Reformation and the blessings re-
sulting from it. He said in effect: To
some it may seem a mistake to COM
memorate such anniversaries of the
church. To others it seems eminently
right and proper, for if we would rightly
estimate the blessings of both civil and
religious freedom which have resulted
from that mighty upheaval, and es-
pecially if we would perpetuate them, it
is we'll to consider at times out of what
conditions they arose, at what sacrifice
obtained, and what dangers threaten
their continuance.
Mr.. Ball sketched rapidly the evil days
before the Reformation, the increase of
Godlessness in high places, the sale of
indulgences, the preparation of Luther
for his great work, the ninety-five theses
of October 81, 1917. Such, he said, was
the beginning. under the providence of
God, of movement whose end, after the
lapse of nearly four centuries no human
eye can see, and which, doubtless, eter-
nifty alone can reveal.
Special attention was drawn to the
power of song in religious and other
movements, to the Hebrew Psalms so
simple yet so sublime, to the wealth of
| sacred song at the dawn of the Christian
era, and the vast influence exerted by the
hymns of the Reformation, more power

full than the preaching for extending and

full than the preaching for extending and
deepening the Christian life
The source of that movement, the
speaker asserted, is not far to seek. 1t
is found in Jesus, and in him alone. He
is our Savior, our Advocate. He is our
hope, our joy, our comfort. In his name
our prayers arise to Father recorciled
We need no priest, since we ourselves are
made kings and priests unto God. Hence
forth no power of man can bind the con-
science of man.
But dangers no less real exist in an
other quarter. Our very freedom is our
peril How perverted has Gods word
become by some, how perilously rejected
by others. The evil days are always
here, and the forms are not less insid-
ious. The evil changes it's form with
succeeding years, but it's nature, never
1t is important for us also to look care
fully how we walk, that our lives be
filled with the spirit of Gud, that our
hearts may be filled with music, our lives
one hymn of praise, and that no power of
man or Satan may be allie to separate
Us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus, our Lord.

AMERICAN CEREALS
NEEDED TO SUPPLY AUSTRIAN
DEMANDS
The Great Grainf1elds Of Southern
Europe No Longer Compete
With American Growers
Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Secretary
Wilson of the department Of agriculture
has just issued report prepared under
his direction by Frank H. Hitchcock,
chief of the section of foreign markets.
that gives some interesting facts relative
to the present wheat shortage in Austria
Hungary, and the consequent importa-
ton to that country of American grain.
According to the United States consul
at Reichenburg, Austria, an importation
of 400 carloads of American wheat was
made as early as August, coming by way
of Hamburg. Other importations were
reported, among them one of 26, 900 BUSH
els of red winter No. and Kansas
wheat purchased through the Vienna
produce exchange. After re,ounting
these unusual importations of the pres
ent season the bulletin presents a care
full review of the grain situation in Aus
tria- Hungary during the past ten years.
The crop Of the present season is re-
markably small. If the official esti-
mates quoted are fulfilled, the combined
wheat production of Austria and Hun
gary will amount to little more than $780,
900, 900 bushels, or 60,0OO,0 900 bushels short
of the crop harvested in 1896. Aside
from the abnormal conditions of the
present year, annual statistics of produc-
ton, importation and expectation dur
ing the decade make it apparent that a
marked change has occurred in the last
few years as regards the grain situation
in Austria Hungary. The tendency of
the various cereals has been toward
larger home consumption of the national
product and consequent reduction of the
surplus available for shipment to other
lands. Most of the cereals are now
brought into the country in larger guam
titles than they are exported. Barley
is the only grain Of which any consider
able amount continues to be shipped
abroad.
In respect to other cereals, the status
of the monarchy is apparently that of
transition from an exporting into an i'm
porting country. While it Is hardly to
be expected that these changed condi-
tions will, to any considerable extent,
create an enlarged demand for American
cereals, the facts set forth are certainly
of interest as indicating the lessened i'm
portance of Austria Hungary among the
countries with which the United States
is obliged to compete in the grain marts
of the world.
The flour trade with Brazil is large.
and increasing, reaching 11O,94O barrels
per annum during 1891-95. This in
creasing hold upon the market should be
controlled very exclusively by the United
States millers.
LONDON MARKETS
LONDON, Oct. 31.-Money is tempo
rarily plentiful, and as a result the rates
show a downward tendency.
The sales Of American securities have
ceased, and it is expected that London
will have to settle the adverse trade bal
ance in bullion, though large gold with
drawals are not expected.
Since the raising Of the bank rate the
demand for gold has been confined to the
open market. Short loans are freely Of

A TRUE REVIVAL
Rev. David Walk at the Church of
Christ

The Rev. David Walk yesterday morn
ing in the Church of Christ took his
text from Colossians iii:12-17. He said
in part: We contemplate series of
evangelistic services in this church, be-
ginning next Sunday. I shall talk to
you today on some of the elements of a
genuine revival of religion. To revive
means to return to life, and such a condi-
tion of things ought never to be neces-
sary among Christians. With all the
means of the modern church-especially
with a trained ministry-there should
be no room for the professional evan
gelist. Nor would there be if there were
a true conception of the work of saving
souls.
The value of a revival is to be deter
mined by the permanence of the result
in the moral culture of the people; and
this can be accomplished only by care
full, constant study of the word of God.
Moral culture and spiritual develop
ment must have something on which to
feed = something besides physical

ON THE TURF
The Season at Ingleside Will oper
TODAY


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-The rae
ing season for 1S97-9S, which begins to.
morrow at Ingleside, promises to be an
exceptionally brilliant one. At rough
estimate there are at least 500 horses
ready to start, including about 100 from,
the east, and many more are headed
northward, so that there will be no lack
of horses, and the class will be as good
if not better that last season, which is
saying god deal.
Everything is in readiness for the bar
rier to fly UP on the opening event of the
first days sport, and as some $4,000
have been expended between seasons
racegoers will probably find many i'm
provements both in the grounds and
accommodations.
The hotel corridors We're crowded last
night with horsemen, bookmakers and
race track habitues from all over the
country, and the interest displayed in
the meeting is keener than ever before.
Several hundred people watched the
horses work out early this morning, and
during the afternoon thousands drove
out to the track and inspected the ar
rangements and such of the equine celb-
The judges stand will be occupied by
Joseph A. Murphy, J. W. Wilson and
Henry Kuhl, while James F. Caldwell,
the prince Of starters" will do the
starting and for the first time on a reg
ular racing day at Ingleside, will use
the recall flag.
The card for the opening day is a
fairly attractive one. The feature is the
University stake at one mile for three
year olds, which promises to result in
an interesting contest.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-The Pa
cific Coast Jockey club today received
Itelegraphic instructions from Secretary
Hopperhof of the turf congress to accept
entries from horses outlawed by racing
at Aqueduct, and stating that the OBJ
jectionabe rules will be abrogated and
were never intended to cover tracks that
conformed with Jockey club rules.
