sons commit suicide is because theY
think no one cares for them"
Il believe in his constant keepinp
power" he said. He is not like the sen,
tinel asleep at his post 1 have gone 10 a
sleeping sentry and taken his gun from
his hands and he didn't know It; but the
w2tchtulness of our God is not such as
that. he cares for US every day and every
hour OF the day." The speaker had been
soldier in the late Civil War and gave
many incidents of army life to illustrate
Gods care for his people and the conf
dence which the Christian should have in
God power 20 bring victory out OF every
conflict. In conclusion the speaker bade
the congregation adieu. He left on the
evening train for the East.
Majority Protests Filed.
OAKLAND, CAL, June S-The proper
tY-owners on Eighth street. between FRANK
lin street and the bridge, have filed a ma
lorlty protest against the proposed resur-
facing OF said street by the new steam
roller, which would not cost more than
hall or three-fourths of cent per front
foot, or $40 for a 25-fOot lot The grounds
of protest are stated that the cost of curbs
and cutters would be burden. The fact
is neither is included in the specifications
and had not been intended. The whole
seems to be the work of some rich prop
erty-owners who have misrepresented to
the poor ones the cost of the proposed
work. This is the worst piece of street in
the city.
A protest was riled against like improve
ments upon Seventeenth street between
Clay ana Grove.

exceed 5000.
