Image Of God In Us,
By Rev. William Gardner.

<fTN studying the intelligence of ami
mails, both wild and domestic, we are
often astonished at the similarity be-
tween them and the human family" said
Rev. William Gardner of the West Side
Christian Church.
Does man boast of his ability to rea-
son? He finds his horse possessed of the
same faculty. Has man a conscience that
condemns or approves his acts? So has
the dog that with dropping head and tail
confesses a sin against his master. Does
man love his friends? So does the purring
cat that nestles in the lap of its mistress.
While the lower order OF animals possess
in a large degree the intelligence and
moral sentiment of the human race, man
only was made in the image of God. II
is that image that has been marred and
defaced by sin until many men reflect as
mirror the shame of the devil rather than
the glory of the Lord.
The gospel of Christ is the power of
God to renew IN the human heart the di-
vine image.
The redeemed man having been born
again becomes an adopted son of God, and
because he Is a son G I'd sends form the
spirit OF his son into his heart crying
Abba, Father The love of God is shed
abroad in his heart by the Holy hpirit
which is gwen him. That divine love is
The image OF God in him and the essential
feature IN which he differs from the beast.
Paul declared that without love man
would be nothing, though possessed of
the spirit of prophecy, an understanding
OF ali knowledge, OF all mysteries, and
with faith enough to more mountains
We can understand this marvellous state
ment Of Paul only in the light OF the fact
stated by John that God is love He
"a -
God In him; he is fallen, lost. PauPs
word picture of love is picture of God.
He suffers long and is kind; he envleth
not; vaunieth not himself, is not puffed
up; doth not behave himself unseemlv;
seeketh not his own; is not easily pro-
yoked; thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in
iniquity, but reioiceth In the truth; bear
eth ali things, belieVeth all things, hopeth
all things, end uret all things. God neve +
faileth.'"

SOLLY SMITH AND
JOHNNIE GRIFFIN
They Have Been Matched
to Box in a Limited
Contest.
Four Local Clubs Are Now Bid
ding for the S'ars of
the Ring.
Tom 0'Rourke Leaves the East To-
Day With His Stable, George
Dixon an Jack Everhardt

The situation pugilistic is becoming in
teresting, and this City once more is the
Mecca toward which the exponents of
the ''manly art" are making their way.
The recent fasco in New York, where
the referee would not give decision
against Sharkey for foul fighting, and the
police would not permit Maher to whip
his man, has disgusted the patrons of the
sport and they show disposition for the
time being to shun limited contests.
Hence no sane manager of fst1c events
will dare put up big purse to bring good
men together. Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago never were cities TO countenance
ring engagements, and New Orleans is
virtually a dead letter, killed b. a stupen-
dous success that ma ,e the fight promot-
ers quarrel among themselves.
There is Carson or Reno OF Nevada left
for big events to finish, but these do not
occur more than twice In decade, and
Fitzsimmons plucked the last plum there
in March. For limited contests, therefore,
San Francisco must be looked to in the
future.
There are now four clubs in this City
bidding for the services of scientific glove
weilders. They are the National, with
Gibbs and Groom as managers; the Cali
fornia, with Rivers and Marcheon; the
Columbia, with Douglas White, and the
Empire, with Alf Ellins house The Olym-
pic Club was in the race for while, but a
recent loss has caused the directors to go
back 10 the amateur sphere, where 1t le-
gitm ately belongs.
The four active clubs have enough en-
tertainments on their books however TO
satisfy the public. Douglas White sue
ceeded yesterday in arranging for a GO
between Solly Smith, the old-time phe-
nomenon from Los Angeles, and Johnn g
Griffen. It will be at 125 pounds. The
purse will be put at $4,000 for the general
public, but that LOOKS good in print ami
cuts no other hgure, as managers and
principals always have sub-arrangements
Tom O'Rourke will leave the East to-
day with his sta BILE, consisting of Jack
Everhardt and George Dixon. The former
is TO meet Spider Kelly and the latter Dal
Hawkins. The last engagement has been
dated for July %, Hawkins agreeing to
weigh in at l2S pounds at O'Clock on the
afternoon of the contest. d xon, of course,
does not need to train down.
The Columbia Club will bring out JEFF
fries and Rubin either on the 18th or 10Th
of July, the date not beng definitely set
tied.
The National Club has Green and Wal
colt on the tapis. II will be at catch
weights somewhere in the weIter-weight
class.
The California Club is going to do some
thing i'll the way of giving good sport at
popular prices. The 81 10 S. proposition
is to make way for the fifty cents to 81 so.
Baker and Miller will be the stars and
Henry Woods and Thorn pson will be Sec
ond best.

The Aim Of the Jews,
By Rev. Frank S. Ford.

I<TESUS was rejected by the best me- n in
the Jewish nation, said Rev. Frank
i S. Ford of the First Christian Church.
He spoke substan tally as follows:
Their teachers, their examples of godli-
ness and piety, Jealous students of Scrip
tu.es and history, eagerly waiting for the
Messiah, judged Jesus by their Scriptures
and were obeying the dictates of their own
consclences, and thought they were doin q
the Will of God when hunting him to
death.
"They were so blinded by the foolish
ness of their imaginations' that they could
not discern the light Their Messianic
conception had been distorted by centu-
ries of worldiness and materiality. They
believed Jesus dominated by the devi l.
because he was opposite their idea of god
ship.
Jesus supplied abundant evidence. Pc
could not supply them eyes to see. We
speak of punishment of sin when we
should say result He brought them
all the power of which he was possessed,
but he could not compel them without
becoming as grossly material as they, and
that he could not do.
"They demanded sign. The only sign
that could be given was the logical con-
clusion of the times and in the Iurid
sky of the sign of Jonas, kindled by
Roman torch, they could read the in
scription of the cross and know that the
kingdom had come"
