"The Mercy Of God"

and the Second to Men.
The Archbishop Issues an Order for a
Collection for the Benefit of the
University at Washington.

a two weeks mission was opened at
Holy Cross Church yesterday morning
with high mass sung by Father Connolly
preached by the Rev. Father Finnegan.
He spoke on the Mercy OF God" He
said in part:
Our Lord was passing through the town of
Jericho. The evangelist tells US that by the
side OF the road was a blind beggar, and whe Il
he heard the hum of the multitude that ac-
compauied the passing OF our Lord he aSked
what it all meant. friendly passer.by told
him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing. This
was what he had longed for, and not to allow
the opportunity to pass he sent up his prayer
and his cry, 20, son OF David, have pity on
me-" He was Tebnked by some who were
near, but he repeated his cry. The Lord
stopped in his course and commanded that
the blind man should be led TO him, and said.
"What wouldst thou have me do to you ~
And the beggar replied, Lord, that might
see." The Lord re, tored to him his sight and
he went his way rejoicing.
This he applied to many types of Chris
tianity to-day, only saying that spiritual
blindness was far worse than bodily iic-
iion, and ended by saying that g For
Christ says Paul, we are ambassadors
whereby hear our voice as no other than
the voice of Christ
Father NJ cGinty, pastor OF Holy Cross,
has stopping with him Fathers Connolly,
Troy and o B1ien, who are here on a

Archbishop Rlordar has issued circu-

lie caurches IN his diocese ordering that a

lie University in Washington. This is

Rev. Philip Coombe Com
mends the Arctic Re-
lief Expedition.
He Draws Many Valuable Les
sons From "The Calls"
Work Of Rescue.
In Its Energy and Promptness he
Sees an Example for All Doors
of Good Deeds.

The story of the imminent suffering oi
the crews imprisoned in the Arctic Ocean
and the measures taken by the Govern
ment, urged and aided by The CALL, TO
prevent the realization of the fears enter
tained by them suggested to Rev. Philip
Coon be of the Richmond Congregations al
Church 4 train OF thought which he e1.
pressed in a sermon delivered last evening.
The subject announced was The Relief
Expedition to the Arctic. and the speaker
TOOK for his text, whatsoever thy hand
hnds 10 do do it with thy might.
In vivid language Mr.. Coon be desert bed
the perilous condition of the whalers,
pinned in by the ice in the gloomy
northern seas.
You know how this expedition for
their relief was started" he said. There
were men in this city who learned from
whaling vessels which had escaped in
time that the crews of the remalnlng &
craft, some 800 or 400 men, were in danger
OF starvation. The press TOOK the matter
up and urged the Government to action.
The CALL has provided $12. 900 for the re-
lie OF the imperiled men, exclusive Of
medicines furnished. The Government
yielded I the entreaties OF the press and
IN few days the Bear will start for the
northern region.

The, position OF these prisoners. Great
masses OF ice are everywhere about them.
The piercing winds assai them. Above
the sky is dull and gray; soon it will be
black and when everything is bright here
the long dark night will be upon them.
Other vessels realized what was coming
and got away before it was too late. Some
of these had to plough their way through
gre at fields OF thin ice.'
Mr.. Coon be drew the lesson from the
plight of the unfortunate sailors that
God 5 laws must be obeyed and the trans
gression OF the inexorab bic rules that con-
troll the universe Is certain to result in
suffering. He also pointed out that what
seem 10 us to be arbitrary conditions may
sometimes be altered to large degree.
He illustrated this by the attitude of i'm
prisoneG men, who, unconscious of wh at
il being done for them, he argued, must
believe there is no hope for their relief
until the changing season has melted the
ice.
They do not know" he said. "tha. re-
lief expedition is being organiZed for
them and that there is great proba bility
or their rescue. | believe mat every man
and every woman will pray to God to help
these men in their peril"
In the energy and promptitude dis
played in getting the expedition ready
the speaker pointed out an example OF

hand finds to do, 90 1t with thy might" "
He warned his hearers to save their souls

GAVE THEIR
House TO GOD
Dedicatory Services by the
Westminster Presbyte-
rian Congregation.
Cheerful offerings to Pay for
the Beautiful New
Edifce.
Nearly Five Thousand Dollars Was
Raised by Subscription in a
Few Minutes.

There was Joy in the congregation OF the
Westminster Presbyterian Church yester-
day. The occasion was the dedication OF
their beautiful new place of worship at
the corner of Page and Webster streets.
In honor of the event special services
were held morning and evening, though
the dedicatory exercises proper were held
in he afternoon.
The auditorium of the church vas COM
fortably file at 2:30 in the afternoon,
when the sliding partition which separates
the main body of the church from the
Sunday-school room was raised and the
children were discovered singing "Glory
to God in the Highest" The California
Quartet rendered an anthem and DR.. Will
liam Alexander led the invocation.
Rev. |. n. Hurd, the first pastor OF the
Westminster Church, occupied position
on the platform. and to him was allotted
the Scripture-reading. Miss Florence Per-
kins sang "Tne Holy City," with q violin
obligato by Ben jamIn Smith.
The dedication sermon was by DR.. E. S.
Chapman OF Oakland. DR.. Chapman oc-
cupied the pulpit OF Westmins ter whom
he first arrived in California, ana he re-
ferred feelingly 10 his associations with
the church.
The text of the dedicatory sermon was
THAT No Man Take That Crown"-Rev-
Citations xi:3.
here are two Gospel truths to which !
wish to call your attention, he said. One
is that salvation is free gift You cannot
earn it. The other is that God provides rich
reward for everything We 90 for him. He
gives US saIvatiOn as q free gift, and then he
offers US a rich and abundant reward for
everything done for him. Those are truths
which many people overlook. Some who do
not understand the first truth fail to get saliva
ton. Others who understand that overlook
the second truth and they fail OF the reward
Having received salvation they sit with hands
folded and do nothing.
That reward is spoken of in the Bible as q
crown of gold, an lncorruptible crown. These
terms are useo to snow the wonderful rich
ness of the gift. sit not a beautiful thought
that by com psnionsnip and Fellowship we be-
come transformed into the likeness of our
Lord Jesus Christ? VIII it not be q crown of
glory to become like him q?
The reverend speaker appealed TO his
hearers to see that each of them earned a
crown and that no one through failure 10
take advantage of the opportunities pre-
sented to do good lose the crown which
had been prepared for him.
DR.. Chapman announced that the
church was in need of $1,000, and sub
scriptions were called for 10 that amount
AS the various sums were subscribed DR..
Chapman checked the amounts off upon
a black board bearing figures from $50 to 5.
In short time over $4,000 was offered, and
the remainder was made up at tho even.
ing service.
Shall Wine Away All Tears" after which
the pastor, Rev. s. n. Cryor, led the con-
gregation in the act of dedication. A
hymn written by the pastor, an anthem
by the choir and the benediction con-
cluded the exercises.

A ROASTING SERMON.
Rev. DIR. Ford of the Christian Church
Scores the Munici pality.

Rev. DIR. Ford of the Christian Church
Scores the Municipality.
Rev Frank Ford of the First Christian
Church. in his sermon on THE Religious
Philosophy of History" scored the mu.
nicipal government and spoke in no un-
certain terms of the Durrant, the Wor-
den and the Guinan cases. AS an intro
duction TO his discourse he spoke briefly
of the history of the n orld Tor the past
year from international national and m u
nicipal standpoints. Coming to the mu-
nicipal government he scored it in gen.
eral terms. OF the motto, ITO the victor
belongs the spoils," he said the spolls
always meant the taxpayers, and that the
motto in plain terms meant personal and
pollIlcal dishonesty. IF it goes on as it
has," he said, "pandemonium will reign
before very long"
In speaking OF the Durrant case he aid !:
"While l do not beIieve in the death pen.
atty, do believe that when the law saws
death it should mean death.
The law should be vindicated and
made honorable. Because a man can get
money enough to carry his case to the ma
tional courts should be no reason why he
should shake the finger of scorn at the
law"
OF the Guinan case he said: "If the
death penalty is ever iustifiable it should
be meted out to such Villains as that man
Jones, who was many times more than q
m urderer."
In concluding he spoke of the opposi-
ton existing between capital and labor,
aging that the individual was too much
given TO looking at the world through the
wrong end of a telescope. He agreed
with the principals of the Junior Order OF
American Mechanics as to a just restric-
tion of i'm migration.

chanics attended in body and appeared
very much impressed with DR.. Ford's

There was a meeting of the Hui Ka-
lai Alma Society in the hall on Emma
street, yesterday afternoon. Quite .
number were present. The matter OF
sending commissioners to Washington
to protest against annexation was dis
cussed
In regard to this matter, it Is learned
that nothing will be done until the
voice of the native people from Ha-
waii to Kauai can be learned.
The proposition is to appoint one
commissioner from Hawaii. one from
Maui, one from Kauai and two from
this island. Although many names
have been suggested, no one has been
placed in a specially prominent posi-
ton.
The main question in regard to the
sending of the commissioners is the
wherewithal. In case the branches Of
the various native societies through
out the Islands agree to put up the
money, the men will be sent. Other
wise. the project will not go through.
Late last night the news came from
a reliable source that the two native
political societies-Aloha Alma and Ka-
laiaina--had decided to send t6FWash-
ington commission of only two, with
secretary. the commissioners to be
James K. Kaulia of the Aloha Alma
and Kalauokalani of the Kalaiaina, and
the secretary, ]. Mahiai Kaneakua.
The natives have decided that no
white man or half-white shall go as q
commissioner.
