Bishop Clinton
at Zion Church.

Bishop George w. Clinton of St. Louis
preached yesterday at the First African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church on
Higher and Spiritual Evolution" taking
his text from Psalms. lxvii:13: Though ye
have lain among the pots, ye shall be, as
the wings of dove covered with silver,
and her feathers with yellow gold" He
said:
1.-THE text before VI describes very sad
and pitiable condition of great people.
But while part of the text describes such
a debased condition it also sets forth the
possibility of the attainment of condition
as high above that, and one which stands
in as great contrast to that low condition
as does man IN his civilized state stand
above the species of animal claimed by
some to be his ancestor.
"This text refers to the despicable con-
dition of Israel in Egypt when subjected
to the cruel treatment and debasing in
fluences of that goddess people and
idolatrous nation. Truly Israeps condi-
ton is most fttingly described by the
clause, Il am among the pots.'
s.What was Israel's condition then has
been the condition of other nations, races
and individuals time and again in this
world. Such is the condition of nations
races and individuals now in many
places,"

The Feast Of St. Joseph
and It's Lessons

At St. Mary's Catholic Church last
night the rector, Rev. Henry II. Wyman,
preached a sermon on the feast of st.
Joseph and the lessons to be drawn there
from.
He described the saint as one of the
highest types of sanctity. He told the
story of the Immaculate conception and
of Joseph's faith in his spouse and his
trust in God.
Prayers addressed to this saint" said
the preacher, will give us the strength to
bear the trials of this life. He is the
patron OF the spiritual life. He may be
called the master OF the spiritual life, be-
cause his was the singular privilege to die
in the presence of our Divine Lord and
the Blessed Virgin. st. Joseph has. there
fore, been chosen as the patron Of a happy
death"
He exhorted his hearers to make the
life of ST. Joseph an ideal, assuring them
that in poverty and sickness it is always
capable of affording consolation and ex-
ample.

Football Insanity" !"

DR.. HemphilI's topic last evening was
athletic Contests in General and One
Contest in Particular" His text was /
Corinthians, tx :24-27. He said:
These metaphors are borrowed from the
athletic contests of the Greeks who bulked
big in the eye of the world then, and who,
because of their present plucky attitude
against the great powers of Europe, bulk
big in the eye of the world now. That
these athletic contests were attended with
manifest evils, like some of the athletic
contests OF our own day. is more than
likely. Paul did not condemn them in

Rev. w. A. Gardner, pastor OF the West
Side Christian Church, preached last even
ing to crowded church on the Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett contest. He said:
On the first day of January, 1897, there
was not place in the United States where
it was lawful for men for prize or wager
deliberately to meet and pound each other
until one or both were dead or finished"
On the 10Th day of February the law
makers of Nevada said: "Our forty
four sister States are mistaken in
making it crime for men to fight for
wager" They therefore enacted law
which, according to Judge Bonnifield,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Nevada, 'Jegalizes the taking of human
life for reward or wager" The two

DR.. E. R. Ollie on
Unitarianisfn,

The Rev. e. r. Ollie OF the Central
Methodist Church discoursed on Unita-
rianism last night. A few of his remarks
were as follows:
SIN preaching on Unitarianism I do SO
in no controversial spirit. Many Uni
tarians are my personal friends. With
Unitarians have no controversy and no
quarrel. / am ready to admit that as q
denomination they have done something
for religious thought and religious liberty,
and rendered Christianity service by
emphasizing and elevating the conception
Of Chri5t's manhood.
"But while / concede to the Unitarians
the possession of much truth, and give
them credit for their influence upon the
literature, culture and philanthropy of
our time, their denial OF the deity OF. the
Lord Jesus Christ takes them, as q de-
nomination, outside the Christian pale,
and robs their system OF moral and spir-
situal power" sst
The speaker then proceeded to an af-
frmative argument for the deity of
Christ, based on the Scripture, his perfec-
ton as a teacher, his resurrection and his
influence on the world.

RAILRAH TO RANDsBURG.
Work on the Ne.U Line to Commence
Hithin the Week.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. March IA
Randsburg is to have its first railroad
soon. Work will be begun on line be-
tween Kramer, on the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad, and Randsburg inside of a week
and will be hurried to completion. The
route is along one natural grade for the
whole distance, except where it crosses the
divide east of Ransburg, where, it is un-
derstood, the heaviest grade will be en-
countered. This will not exceed ninety
feet to the mile, and only for mile or
two at that. The advent of railroad will
doubtless be great benefit to the camp
and will induce many to come who are
now kept away by the long stage ride from
either railroad

Rev. R. C. Foute
at Grace Church.

Rev. r. c. Foute, preaching at Grace
Episcopal Church last night, took ms
text from St. Matthew S:22; "But Jesus
said unto him follow me, and let-tne
dead bury their dead" -
These seemingly harsh words, the
speaker said, applied rather to the spirit
ually dead than the physically oeau.
Christ was urging mankind to abandon
evil and follow him. In order to 90 TINS
men must rise above the selfish level OF
worldliness and live spiritual life. The
spiritually dead in Christ's day were the
Sadducees and Pharisees, who cared
neither for God nor man.
