your honor told me you had not handed
down the opinion in the rule to show

SACRAMENTO, CAL. Aug. 1.-The re-
fusaI of State Controller Colgan to draw a
warrant for the salary of State Librarian
McCabe, on the ground that there is no
fund IN the State Treasury from which
the salary can be paid, owing to the fact
that this special fund was among the
items in the general appropriation bill
which were not approved by Governor
Budd, has created furore in political cir
cles and is the subject of universal COM
ment among those who profess to be on
the inside as to the why and wherefore.
In disappearing of the fund for the pay

vides to carry on the affairs Of that
institution, although in reality the
library swarms with clerks janitors

in Convention at
Pacific Grove.
Rev. Eugenia F. St. John De-
Iivers the Anniversary
Sermon.
Sacred Song Service In the Even
ing Concludes the Opening
Days Features.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Aug. 1.-The
annual convention and summer school of
m ethods of the California Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union was formally
opened here to-day with the anniversary
sermon by Rev. Eugenia f. st. John of
Kansas City, kans. Most of the dele
gates and all the officers arrived yester-
dsy, and, the State board of directors
having met in executive session, they fin
ished preliminary business and were
ready for the formal beginning of the
weeks work to-day.
The opening service was held in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and was
conducted by Rev. A. FL. Needham of Pa
cific Grove. The choral choir, led by Mrs.
Sadie Renowden Bailey, musical director
of this convention, supplied the music of
the morning. Mrs. Louise M. Thomson
of Indiana offered the invocation, and
Mrs. Sturtevant Feet. president of the
California Women's Christian Ten per-
ance Union, read the morning Scripture
| lessons. after which she spoke few words
| of welcome to the delegates and the out
siders assem- bled to listen to the ami
versary sermon.
| The subject of the sermon, physical
and Moral Courage represented in the
| Character of Christ" was taken from
| John xviii :37:
| For this end was born; for this cause came
| / in o the world that l should witness unto
| the truth.
From the circumstances surrounding
| Cbrist's utterance of these words, his ar
rest and trial and the indignity and cal
jimmy he was made to suffer for "bearlng
witness of the truth" Mrs. st. John drew
| an application in regard to the hards hips
| and obstacles the women workers in the
| tenn porance cause had to contend against,
and showed the example of com bined
| physical and moral courage which the
Great Teacher set for mankind in the face
of even death itself. By these character
istics she outlined Christ's work on earth,
his establishment of a new religion in the
place of the old Mosaic law and his
making it possible for the world to rise to
a higher life in civilization and Chris
tianity.
Every reform, she said. had ridicule and
ostracism to overcome but scarcely any
had to contend against that of even their
nearest and dearest, as had the Women
Christian Temperance Union. But,
| strengthened by its great aim, it was
steadily overcoming opposition and gain

Christ as the hub and the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union. the Young Mems
| Christian Association, the Christian En-
deavor Society and all other such organi-
cations as spokes forming perfect wheel.
