Essay Contest Of Company
E Of the League of
the Cross.
The Cadets of st. James Parish
Have an Enthusiastic
Rally.
Major Mccarthy Given the Decision.
Eight New Members Join the
League.

Company E of the League OF the Cross
Cadets OF ST. James Church held its
quarterly parish rally yesterday afternoon
at Mission Parlor Hall, Seventeenth street
near Valencia. The hall was crowded
beyond its fullest seating capacity by the
cadets and the trends OF the com petitors
IN the prize essay contest.
The subject of the essay in yesterdays
contest, which was preliminary parish
contest, the winner to be entitled to enter
the essay contest for the district next
August, was Temperance, The Founda-
ton of True Manhood" There were two
competitors. Major W. II. Mccarthy and
Lieutenant w. Kelly. Beth essays were
excelently written and eIoquenty de-
livered, but the judges. Rev. f. P Nevin,
Z. 2. Murphy and Judge H. J. Stafford,
nnally decided in favor OF Major Nc
Carthy.
The winner OF the district contest, in
cluding three or four parishes, which
Ma ior Mccarthy is now entitled TO enter,
will be qualified TO enter the grand an
nual contest for the gold medal, which
will be held next year IN the Mechanics
Pavilion. This is a great day among the
cadets and rivalry for the honor of repre-
senting a parish in the contest is very
spirited.
Lieutenant Kelly's essay was a scholarly
composition and his delivery of it was
loudly applauded. Temperance as ne
essential basis of a mans mental, physi-
cal and spiritual welfare was the theme.
Major McCarthy's essay was in part
along the same lines. In addition he en-
phasized the evil effects intemperance mad
in retardinG civilization. Among other
things he said:
90 not exaggerate when say that in our
land civilization is now century behind what
it would have been had ardent spirits been
unknown among us. | do not mean that spe-
c.es of civilization which consists OF a few
prodigies of learning, metropolitan circle Of
cOurty gentlemen, while all around is passion
and ignorance and vice. But do mean that
kind of civilization which consists in love OF
order and duty, and In that recognition and
sacred regard for the rights of oth"rs which
cannot be enforced by law; in affection ate
hearts, In active truth-loving minds all com
bined 10 make happy homes, brotherly neigh
bornoods and great and lncOrrupuble peo-
pie. This kind OF civilization has already
been postponed century in our midst by the
burdening effects OF ntemperance.
Brief remarks on the evils of drink were
made by W. J. Hamilton, the chairman; !;
Father o. Ryan. the spiritual adviser of
the League of the Cross, and Father
Lynch OF St. James Parish.

Not Pardon
Nor License to Sin.

Rev. Father c. J. Powers preached at
ST. Mary's Church on California street
yesterday morning on Doing Penance."
In his sermon he said:
TTHE term ''penance" is understood in
several seusCs. 1t is used in the first
Il place in reference 10 the sacrament of
penance, that second baptism, that plan K
thrown out to the sinner in danger of ship
wreck. It is also used to express The internal
sentiments Of the sinner, The broken and con-
trite heart,wlth which he approaches almighty
God seeking forgiveness. But in tend to spt a *
especially of penance, inasmuch as by Ii we
understand those works which follow he abb
solution OF the sacrament OF penance, works
mitied
In connection with this subject of. penance
we ought to understOnd som methiug OF that
ancient canonlcal system of penanceS in
vogue in The early church. Gods Justice ever
being the same, we may gather from a brief
survey OF this matter of Canonieal penauces
what our attitude should be in reference to
satisfying the temporal punishment of sin,
and also the doctrine of indulgeDces when is
connected with this matter Of canonical
penance.
With regard to indulgences let US first make
clear what precisely an indulgence is. 1t is
not pardon OF sin, nor permission to sin.
In tacJ Il mas no connection with sin as sin.
An indulgence applies only to the punish
ment OF sin, and 10 the punishment Of sin in
asmuch as it Is temporal. Gods holiness is so
awful that we cannot but feel that even when
d
debt due him from us. And this debt is dis
charged by US through the temporal punish
ment.
IN the ancient times the temporal punish
ment was regulated by canonIcal penances
In the early feIvor OF Christianity men readily
undertook TO satisfy Gods justice by these
means. As fervOr grew cold indulgences were
granted; in other words, instead Of canonical
penance the church acce pied other works ap-
proved by herself in lieu of the more rigorous
exactions OF the ptuitentiaI canons Hence
the system of indulgences
INDULGENCE therefore does for US what
canonlcal penance would have done for us
CanonlcaI penance was not the pardon of sin,
neither is indulgence; canonical penance was
not permission 10 sin, neither is iudus gence:
canonicai penance was concerned ONLY with
temporal punishment, not the eternal punish
ment OF SIN, so too with indulgence; canonical
penance was mol offered for price, neither is
Indulgence. Indulgences are not matters of
barter. bu- sacred and holy things, to pur-
Magus snned.

A GOOD CRICKET MATCH.

The Bohemian Club Team Wins the
Alameda Com binatiOn.
WHAT at one period of the rame
promised to be a very exciting cricket
game, and which was more than ordi-
nary interesting one, was played at
Golden Gate yesterday. The com peting
teams were the Bohemians and Ala
medas. and the match went to the former
5v just 40 runs.
Going in first, the BohemIans made 163,
Sloman, Randall and Billy Robertson
making the principal contributions.
1t was not Morey's fault that the Ala
medas did not top this total, for he made
"A off his own bat. Bird seconded this eff
fort in great shape with 81, but the bal
ance of the team did nothing.

Two Corrections of
Old Fal1acies.

The Rev. William RAIDER of the Third
Congregational Church preached last
night on the text, I'VE are by nature the
children of wrath, even as Others" He
said:
A RIGHT Interpretation of this text cor
n rects two falacies. The first is that we
ere by nature the children OF Coos
wrath and under the curse OF the divine dis
pleasure. We are not the children of wrath
but the products Of our own ungoverned
selves Paul says that we do grow into wrath
Adam has been made. responsible for a good
deal OF which he is innocent. Adam was
simmer. but not a scapegoat. We are he chill
dren, not OF wrath, but of the divine good
will.
Second. it corrects that fascinating fallacy
which insists upon growth as the sal Vation OF
the world. Grow III may be toward darkness
or light up or down, right or wrong.
We do not By the simple process OF develop
ment grow out of old SINS into new virtues of
ourselves. The child, instead of growing out
OF lis vicious tendencies, will grow into them
unless lis nature IS regu ated and trained.

Prayed for the
Big Convention.

DEV. DR.. JOHN HEMPHILL of Cal
X vary Presbyterian Church preached
an earnest sermon last evening on
the need of prayer TO make the Christian
Endeavor Convention a blessing to San
francisco and The Pacific Coast. He
maintained that prayer was part of the di-
vine plan, and that God would as soon
think of giving rains without clouds as TO
bestow his blessings without prayer. Mr..
Hemphill re minded his congregation that
only ten days remained to prepare for the
convention, and suggested that an ear
nest appeal be made for divine favor.
He implored his hearers to pray as John
Knox prayed, and TO speak to the Lord
with the fervor and spirit in which Mar
tin Luther prayed. Luther in his prayer
said: Lord, it is thine own promise; if it
be not kept, will not trust thee again"
Bishop Whitfield prayed: Lord, give US
souls or take my soul" Mr.. Hemphill
invited his hearers to attend the PRAYER
meeting next Wednesday evening, and to
ask God TO bestow on San Francisco and
the Pacific Coast his richest benedictions.

Changing Conceptions
of Future Pun shment.

Rev. H. T. Shepard OF Olivet Conrrega-
tional Church preached last night con-
cerning old and new ideas of hell. He
said:
nUNIs HMENT for wrongdoing has reason
liable foundation in natural law. Laws of
i gravitstion, of heat aud cold must be
obeyed OF penalties endured. Experience
IN family lie, in school affairs and State con-
Germs declares that punishment is unavoidable
in all best work. Reason and faith combine
in allowing the hereafter its measure Of puni-
tive punishment.
When We consult Jesus and those of his
followers who came most closely into touch
with their master, ana understood his spirit
pest, we hnd it very hard to believe that he

future punishment
1t is qlite as hard. TO conclude from their
WORDS that future punishment is material Fl re.
his Is certain: Doctrines of future punish
ment nave changed continually from Abra-
nam TO Jesus, and the change seems TO the
dlsclples OF Jesus to-day to have been toward
nobler conceptions.

Rev. W. A. Gardiner spoke at the West
Side Christian Church yesterday morning
on The Fiery Test" His text was
] Cor. if: "If sny mans work shall be burned
he shall suffer loss but he himself shall be d.
Yet as BY fire"
He said:
THERE are at least three classes of soul
builders, and the work of each is 10 be
4 tried by the most searching test II the
building be erected upon the sure foun-
datlon which the Lord has laid in Zion the
builder shall be saved, though his work be de-
s'royed bv the fiery test. If he builds on any
other foundation there is no promise that
either the builder or his work shall stand,
For other foundation can no man lay than
thst IS laid which is Jesus Christ"
God not only lays the foundation, but he
furnishes all the material for building.
Man does not make the soil, the seed or the
sunshine. They are the gift OF God. Man can
use them and produce a bountiful harvest.
Man does not create his reason, his will or his
conscience; he may use these gifts of God and
build mat which will endure eternally.
The man who believes in Christ with all his
heart and accepts him as his personal Savior
has placed himself upon a foundation that all
the powers Of earth and hell cannot move But
the foundation is not all. He must lake heed
how he builds. He may work in to the soul
thence, gOdllness, love and brotherly kindness,
and these shall be the 'GOld, silver and pre-
cious stone" that in the fiery test of the judg-
ment Will be purified, but not consumed, snd
he will receive IAN abundant entrance into
the kingdom OF our Lord Jesus Christ" The
soul architect may build with envy, selfish
ness, impajience, indifference and negligence
and MS WORK be the wood, hay and tubble"
that will be consumed in the fiery test and
me himself saved, yet so as by fire."

Ordinances and ceremonies are right in
