LEAVES HIS WORK
Rev. G. W. Wendte Gives
His Reason for Going
From Oakland.
Exhausted Himself, He Feels
That a New Voice Would
Be Acceptable,
Il.

9O8 Bros dway, Nov I.
"a Minister TO H People" was the
theme announced for the Unitarian
Church this morning, and it had the
effect of crowdinR that beautiful ed fee
with lis mem bership and their friends for
every one expected to hear the res gnation
of the R.v. C. w. Wendte and his reasons
for the same Nor we're they disappoint ted
for he gave them both in scholarly but
touching address, which was gu te brief.
He took his text from the words of the
gospel by John, xvl:l5: sit is expedieGl
for you that l go away" The simple
reading of those words gave the audience
the key o he situation at once. h began
by referring to his eleven years of service
in this city with the society, he now being
the longest-settled Protestant pastor here.
He spoke of the organization of the
church, his seven years as superintendent
of the Unitarian Church Extension So
ciety OF the Pacific Coast, and his mis-
celIaneous labors in philanthropicaI and
reform work.
Al OF this he said had exhausted his
strength TO such an extent that he felt
that It was advisable for him to seek re-
IeI IN CHdNRo Ol PARISH. ne ALSO
thought that the hearing OF a new voice
by the congregation in The pulpit would
result benefcially to the society. He had
spoken altogether 1900 times in the eleven
wears he had been here, on every concelv-
able subject He felt as il they must be
tired Of his voice, which yet might be
fresh and of interest for some other conn
munily. He felt that an r-readiness
on his part to bear any burden had led the
mem bership too often 10 put upon his
shoulders what they should have carried
themselves.
He had declined several calls in the past
year. nota bly one to Boston at a salary of
$4,000, which was held open for three
months lor him. He did tins. he said, be-
eau he felt that the society could not
spare his services but now he could leave
with safety and honor All OF the cur
rent expenses of the society ar psid to
date. and $4,000 of the standing indebted
ness had been raised. In the eleven years
ov-r Sl20 900 had been raised by the menu

The First Regiment.


ARRANGEMENTS are almost complete for the
establishment of the new rife range on The
property OF the Spring Valley Water Company
near the Ingleside racetrack. The new range.
which viii have targets for the three distances,
200, 800 and 500 yards, will be laid out on
level ground with the shooting stand near the
site of the old Oce an House that was burned
down several years ago, and the butts will be
sou uthwesterIy from the firing point. The First
REGIMENT will erect the range at its own ex-
pense and 1t is the IN teE ton of Colonel Smith
and Lieutenant-Colon Duboce, who have the
matter in hand, to have IL frst-class in every
particular. There VIII not be any pits Tor tn G
markers, and the probability Is that there will
be sliding targets which can be handled by
| the markers without exposing themselves to
| the slightest danger. In addition to the usual
| signals, there Will be laid an underground
| cable which will connect the several targets
with the firing stand, and the results will be
| trans tied 10 The firing point by electricity
High rear bulkheads will be erected to prevent
any bullets, that may go wide of the mark,
| from doing any injury, and barbed wire
| fence win be run on each side of the range TO
prevent cattle, should any stray in, from
crossing the range.
! Itis expected from the enthusiast m that h as
! been manifested IN the regiment at the pros.
| D ct of having range on this side of tue bay
| for the use of the regiment that there will be
| a renewed interest in rife-shooting. The men
| of the regiment who may desire to make a

| range on Saturday afternoons or Sundays at
| very small cost and but little loss of time, and
| it is expected that wnen the range Is In order
| there will spring up generous rivalry be
| tween the members OF the various companies
| and that trey will get up matches. 1t wi
| also have tendency to develop better shoot
| ers in each company, with The result that IN
| addition 10 having few tirst-cIass shots in
| each company each will have a majority OF
| good shots 1t is expected that all the details

AAumber Of suggestions as to the future oil
