THINGS ETERNAL
The Invisible Relationships of Human
Existence

Existence
At Unity church yesterday morning
the pastor. Rev. J.S Thomson. preached
upon THE Invisible Relationships of
Human Life" taking as the text, "The
things which are not seen are eternaL"-
Second Corinthians, 4:1s.
We see and hear the things which pass
away. ALI the wonderful works of ma
ture on our planet, and all the works of
man upon 1t. and the earth itself, will
disappear from the universe some day;
but the forces and the agencies which
produced the earth and the works there
on will never pass away. They are eter-
nal realities. No human eye has ever
seen these laws, forces, principles, infiu-
ences. agencies. Gravitation is invisi-
BILE, and yet ip holds the worlds together.
We do not see the laws of heat and cold,
OF health and disease, OF seasons, of the
ebb and flow of tides; but these laws are
real, powerful, useful and eternal There
is an infinite sea of ether I'M which the
planets swim. 1t is not known to our
senses, nor can 1t be known to them; but
science or speculative science, demands
its existence as an aid to explain some
phenomena of the universe. Each life
Is a generator of unseen physical forces,
ard each intellect collects and distrib-
utes intellectual influences, and each
conscience is a medium for the moral
powers of heaven, and each heart can
take in and give out the emotions of the
infinite heart, and each spirit is re-
ceiver and a radiator of spiritual forces
in the universe; and yet these tremen-
dous forces and influences, which make
homes. cities. nations, empires. histories
and religions, have never been seen by
human eyes. The persons through whom
they have manifested themselves,
and the things through which they
have wrought wonders. may all
disappear, but the laws remain forever
as realities of the universe. Our world
is full of invisible servants. ready to
obey us. Elisha saw chariots and horses
of fire that other mortals did not see
The Centurion understood how Christ
could command spiritual forces to heal
people at a distance in the same way
that he could order his soldiers and
servants Christ told his disciples that
IL he so willed it, he could ask his Father
for legions of angels to rescue him out OF
the hands Of his enemies. Electricity
is invisible, powerful and useful Re-
cent discoveries In the field Of electricity
show US by suggestion that the Universe
is Whispering gallery, that prayer may
be yet seen to have a scientific basis.
that spiritual communion between the
living and the departed Is no dream,
and that there are countless wonders
awaiting the eyes which death will open
irg another scene of existence. Christ, as
the SON of man and the son of God,
claimed that he could control invisible
forces, and this claim was verified In his
wonderful cures, in his inspired doc
trires, in his sinless ard glorious char
acter, and in the prevailing Influences
of his life over the souls OF men and
women in our own day. We are related
to- the invisible hosts of the heavens.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
Prof. Hamill Outlines the Latest Methods
OF Inst uction

Prof H. M. HamiIl Of Chicago made
an address at the First Baptist church
yesterday at p. m. outlining some OF
the methods Of instruction in Sunday
school work, which he, as head Of the
International union, has found highly
successful.
At the outset the speaker gave short
practical drill to the audience In which
he illustrated how he cultivated the
memory and excited interest in the les
son Of the day. He believed that the
Bible was a wonderful factor in ed
ucation, and that ore should commence
early in life to master its contents.
Mr. Hamlll then, with little diagram,
showed, with some concert recitationS
his methods Of fixing upon the memory
with certain swinging rhythm ard Sc
ries Of questions and answers the les
gorrs he wished to convey. The speaker
said he had great respect for the Sun
Gay school teacher OF today, but he de-
plcred the lack of training for the work,
and also the slight and imperfect krowl-
edge of the Bible possessed by many
teachers.
He showed how in. the east the normal
Sunday training schools were spre aiding
in their work and fitting the Sunday
school teachers fer intelligent teaching
and successful methods.
Mr. Hamill considered the intelligent
study of the Bible more valuabl. than a
classical course OF study. He believed
In the Word of God being the founda-
ton Of education without any relation
even to It's religious teachings
The speaker then said every teacher
should ask himself How shall l study
Gods book? How shall teach 1t when
/ do know it?" and then to earnestly
study to answer thess questions. Mr..
Hamill recommended certain books as
being very valuable to the Sunday school
teacher. Dunn;ng's Bible Study. Bishop
vincent's Modern Sunday School, and
Turnbuu's Art Of Teaching; also Seme-
louth's Manual and Huributts Outlines
OF the Legion Of HonSr.
The normal methods OF the east were
sketched and the establlshmert of some
ouch work In Los Angeles was recon-
mended. The speaker was animated
and enthusiastic In his presentation and
his audience were deeply attentive and

THE CHRISTIAN INHERITANCE
Mans Right to Be Called the Child Of
God Through Divine Love

Simpson Tabernacle was well attend
ed Sunday morning. DR.. Mclean filed
his pulpit, choosing as his theme: "Tha
Christian Inheritance" 1st John. 1T
doth not yet appear what We shall be,
but we shall be like him."
Johns gospel is Christianity applied.
1t Is against all agnostics who deny the
deity of Christ. John loved Jesus. ye;
he had not the divine power to watch
with him one hour ard afterward John
wrote: "Oh, beloved. what manner OF
love the Father hath bestowed on US
that we might be. called the children of
God"
Though the word may not see 1t we
know that we have his love and spirit
with us. The NOW" in the text reminds
US that there was a time when we were
not the children Of God. but we behold
that change that we have passed from
death into life; once was blind but now
see.
Now we are rons and daughters Of
God, .christened By the precious blood Of
Christ Adoption and regeneration have
accomplished their work in us-regen-
Grated we are adopted Into the family
Of God. We without hope and without

staggering blow, when society demands
the same moral cleanness in man that
1t requires In woman. The rum power
cares little for prohibitory laws, but 1t
greatly fears prohibitory sentiments.
But this effective moral decree will not
be proclaimed till there is a widespread
and commanding personal sense of OBJ
legation to Almighty God for what we
do or lead others to do. Then indeed
shall the people rise up as a great lion
against all unrighteousness. But with

sentiment we may set ourselves per-

stand alone if need be with whatever Is

EAST EIGHT STREET
Memorial Ordinances of the Christian
Religion

The Memorial Ordinances of the
Christian Religion; What They Are
and the Lessons Which They Teach"
was the subject of David Walks SER
mon in the Church of Christ, on East
Eighth street, near Central avenue, yes
terday morning. The ordinances of a
system are it's conservators and inter-
prefers. Through these we not only
retain the memory of, but are inducted
into the spirit and genius of that which
is purely distinctive in the system to
which the ordinances belong and of
which they form part. The Christian
Institution contains three ordinances:
the Lords baptism, the Lords day and
the Lords supper. AS Is our under
standing of these. will be our under
standing of the religion of Jesus Christ.
No ordinance of our Lord must be con-
founded with the rites Of any other
teacher, either antecedent or subse-
quent. Both as respects the facts
which they commemorate and the les
sons which they teach, they are unlike
the ordinances of other religions. The
Lords ordinance of baptism has no
reference to the ceremonial washings of
the Jews, the baptism of John or the
later perversions of the rite. So far as
the Christian religion Is concerned they
mean nothing. they teach nothing. they
commemorate nothing. Paul teaches
that the facts of the gospel are kept in
memory by its ordinances.
The Lords ba ptism is a pictorial rep
resentation of the three great facts of
the gospel: His death. burial and resur-
rection. The Lords day must not be
confounded with the Jewish Sabbath
The Lords day commentaries specifl-
cally His resurrection. This is it's only
significance and meaning. The Lords
supper commentaries the suffering and
death Of the Saviour. do this" he
said. 'in memory of me- As often as
you eat this bread, and drink this cup,
you do show the Lords death until He
come" Thus we commemorate his
death in the supper. his burial in bap-
tism, and His resurrection in the re-
ligious observance of the Lords day.

ADDRESS BY JAMES WOOD
One Hundred Loaves Of Bread TO Be

Building Trades Council and Council
of Labor - City Labor
Notes

Council of Labor hall was well filed
labor organizations, who came to listen
to an address from James Wood, vice.
president of the Cisarmakers' Interna-
tional union and organizer Of that body.
The speaker was introduced to the
audience by H. z. Martens. secretary
OF the Council Of Labor, and made an
interesting and entertaining speech,
holding his audience to the close. Mr..
Wood promised to return to Los Angeles
in the future. when he will give an illus
trated lecture.
The speaker said that in localities
where conditions were the best, it was
owing primarily to organization. If we
desire today to secure more Of the
wealth we produce, we must exert our
selves and organize.
Through the trades union movement
all trades hav, bettered the condition
of their membership. The hours of la
Dor have been shortened, child labor has
decreased. and wages have increased.
Through the political movement the
trade union has gained practically moth
ing. 1t has only been by thorough or
ganization that the condition Of labor
has been bettered. BY taking up the
economic side In trades unions, the la
borer has been benefited. The speaker
went on to show the advances that had
been made in his line. starting In the
year 1883, with membership of 964, until
now. when the membership reaches to
over $4,000. From the year 1878 to 1884
the condition of the cigarmakers in the
United States was horrible At that
time the prices were low and the worker
was obliged to take his pay In cigars,
goods to the dealer at 10 per cent re-
duction. But from that time to this
conditions have been growing better.
The eight-hour day had been inaugur-
ated and the prices for labor had in
creased. The speaker gave a graphic
account Of the tenement-made manufac-
