 Text, H COT so, put nrst gave their own selves to the Lord"
 The Apostle Paul wants the members of the Corinthian church to make contri- buttons to the poor saints at Jerusalem, and, as there is always much force in a good examp,e, he calls up before these Corinthians the example of the members of the churches of Macedonia. This is what the members of the churches of Macedonia did: they gave to the poor saints at Jerusalem, and they gave when they were themselves in great affljction and in deep poverty. They gave of their own accord, they even begged che privi- lege. They gave rot only according to their ability, but even beyond their abil- ity. Since they were very poor, Paul had only expected small gift; but their gift was In such manner and in such a measure that 1t really was a giving of their own selves.
 There Is great deal of giving today, my friends; giving of money, giving of property, giving of credit, giving of courtesy, giving of love--there is very little giving of self, and yet giving of self is what Jesus requires. Personal consecration to personal Saviour Is the sum total of the Christian religion: When the widow cast her two mites into the treasury and In so doing cast in all the living that she had, she gave herself Hudson Taylor, who has cut loose from his own missionary board, and, working In China for the last 20 years, has by his own exertions alone gathered together a missionary army of nearly 700, sustain cd them independently by the funds he has raised, and made himself, perhaps, the most useful missionary in the world Hudson Taylor is giving himself. The 5000 young men and women who today stand ready to 60 aa missionaries to the foreign iield when the Church of God eets consecratsd spirit enough and con pocratsd money enough to send them, ars giving alternatives.

don through Jesus Christ; the intellect admits that. The intellect of most men is orthodox enough. Then there is the ulty of the soul which determines our conduct with reference to some standard of right and wrong. Over against the right the conscience writes it's tremen- dous Ought, and oyer against the wrong it writes it's impelious Ought not. The conscience hears the evidence which the intellect brings, that there is God, that we are His creatures, that we are under the deepest obligation to obey Him, that through sin we have merited His condem- nation but that this condemnation is wip- ed out by pardon extended by Jesus
 Christ, and the conscience says in rela-
 tion to this evidence: "It is true, and
 since it is true, you ought to surrender to
 God and gladly accept His terms of sal-
 vation." "You eught,' sounds con- science in the day. ''you ought," whis- pers conscience in the night, in the soul of every man. There is no trouble with the conscience; it is the voice of God within, it is orthodox enough. "You ought, you ought, you ought" it keeps repeating to the soul of the man who has not surrendered himself to God; and that
 man begins to fight with conscience, and
 keeps on fighting until he has smoshered
 it's voice and drowned it's cry. He says ! to conscience, 'God is too good to pun.

 to make itself supreme; it is trying to
 make itself supreme; it is trying to tyr apnize over the intellect and conscience and make the feelings follow in it's lead. Personal consecration means giving of ! one's self to personal Saviour, it means
 surrender of the will.
 Personal consecration means the giy. | ing of self, and the giving should be like that of the Macedonian Christians, to
 whom Paul refers, who gave even beyond l their ability; the giving must be unsel- fish giving. Gain and loss do not enter into the calculation. To be sure, one
 does gain happiness in becoming Chris
 tian. The only happiness that lasts is the happiness of the Christian; the only
 happiness that can be taken into ssthe
 land of darkness and the shadown is the happiness of the Christian. To be sure, l in becoming Christian one gains the pearl of great price. To be sure, the be. coming a Christian does mean ahundred.

An explanation of Mr.. Curtis testimony
of the day before, touching the depositing
of the will in the copper urn containing
Mrs. Davis ashes, was taken up. Mr.. Cur

ground that it was immateriaI what Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Curtis partook of in the
way of edibles or potables at that time.
Characterization by Mr.. Campbell &C.
cupied the greater part of the afternoon.
Mr.. Curtis again told of the CONVEX sation
between the late Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Boyd,
as related to him by Mr.. Boyd, which led
to the prolonged search for the Will. The
situation was thus described: Mr.. Davis
and Mr. Boyd were sitting at their desks
in the same room, when Mr. Davis said
"Mr. Boyd, I'm going East and l want to
get away as soon as possible."
Mr.. Boyd said: Have you made your
will ?"
To this MIR. Davis replied: Yes"
Then Mr.. Boyd SAID: II hope you have
not forgotten the girls.
The answer of Mr.. Davis was: II have
provided for them
Mr. Curtis said ne did not see the coffin
plate put in the copper urn containing the
ircinerated remains of Mrs. Davis. He
thought it was % deposited by the en-
ployes of the crematory. At the time he
and Mr.. Davis went to Montague's store
for the purpose of ordering the box Mr..
Davis said he wanted il big enough to
contain his ashes as we'll as the ashes OF
his wife; that he wanted to have his ashes
mingled with hers after his death.
This wish has not yet been complied
with, as Mr.. Davis ashes are now in Phil
adelphia. 1t Is supposed that they are in
the graveyard of the Dunkard church,
Germantown, one of the suburbs of Phila-
delphla.
The case will go on to-day. 1t will
probably last month, as no trial in San
Francisco is worth hearing unless it occu-
pies the attention of the court Tor at least
four weeks.

CONTRACTORS WARNED.
Architect Shea May Take
Charge of Work on the
Hall of Justice.
Indignant Property.0wners Appear
Before the Building Committee
of the Super visors.

Bateman Bros, contractors for the Hall
of Justice. have been given the alternative
OF beginning active work on the building
at once or having the operations started
under the supervision of Architect Shea
and at their expense.
The matter came up before the Buildings
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday, John Shirley, George d. Shad-
burne, George Burton and ex.Supervisors
Rogers and Bodfish being present to pro-
test against the present methods OF the
contractors. Mr. Shadburne read the fol-
lowing section of the contract in support
of his contention that the architect
should take charge of the construction at
once:
fiat any time during the currency of the
contract the contractor should not be making
proper and reasonable progress with the work,
or should be unnecessarily delaying the same.
either by suspending the work, by neglectng
to provide suitable material or by not employ
ing sufficient number OF qualified workmen
on the same SO as to insure the completion of
the contract within the stipulated time, and
on the demands of the architect fail 10 pro-
vide sufficient suitable materials, or to en-
ploy sufficient number Of efficient workmen
as require. by him, or should in any way me-
elect to proceed diligently with the work, the
architect shall be at liberty, after giving the
contractor three days notice OF his intention
so to do, TO provide sucn materials and en-
poy such workmen as he may consider neces-
sary 20 proceed with the wcrk and the cost of
the same S hall be ch arged to the contractor.
Chairman Sheehan stated that he was
willing 10 have the architect take charge
of the work If the contractors did not show
due diligence by the next meeting day of
the com mittee.
M. G. Bateman of the contracting firm
was present and was given notice tina any
further delay would cause the architect to
take charge at once.

FOR TORIUR|NG A BOY,
Three Men and a Police O fcer
Accused of Perjury by
]. Reynolds.
Johnson Is Reindicted for Receiving
Stolen Goods-Busy Sess on of
the Grant Jury.

The Grand Jury yesterday went into
Judge Seawelrs court and presented a
second or reindictment against Edward
Johnson for receiving stolen goods. A few
weeks ago John Black and Johnson were
indicted for stealing goods in British Co
lumbia and bringing the stolen proper, Y
to this City. ]. n. e. Wilson, attorney
for the parties from whom the goods were
stolen, believed that the first indictment
might be defective so far as it related to
Johnson, and therefore the second was
obtained. On motion of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Hosmer the court fixed
Johnson's bail at $4,000.
The Grand Jury heard Census Marshal
Wardel and Alexander W. Mcpherson, a
Deputy Marshal, in regard to the time
charged for their services in taxing the
recent school census. 1t seems that Mr..
Wardell worked eight hours day as
Marshal and then worked eight hours the
same day as clerk. His demand for forty
i've days service amounts to 500. The
jury will consider the subject again next
Friday.
James Reynolds had a story to tell 10
the Grand Jury. The narrative, while not
altogether new, is decidedly interestin..
Fourteen months ago Reynolds boy
Thomas, aged II, was strung up by the
neck in barn on the San Bruno road. 1t
is asserted that the men concerned in the
torture of the boy were William Riordan,
Charles Herold and ]. Leopold. The pun
ishment was inflicted to make the boy
confess that he had stolen money from
Herold. Such confession was extorted.
but the father claims that the boy was in
nocent, not knowing in his terror and
pain what he did confess. Whether
guilty or innocent the boy, on the testi-
mony Of these three men and Officer P
McKenna, was sent to San Quentin.
James Reynolds, the father, told the
Grand Jury yesterday that he had in his
possession convincing proof that Officer
McKenna and the men concerned in the
torture OF the lad committed downright
perjury. The police officer swore before
Judge Low and Judge Cook that he inter-
viewed the boy in prison between the
hours OF and 10 P. NJ. of April l, whereas
the record is clear that the bow was not at
that time in prison. The officer further
swore that at that interview the boy con-
fessed to stealing $50 of Herold's money.
James Reynolds has instituted civil
suit to recover $40. 600 from the men who
tortured his son, and now seeks to have
them and the officer indicted for perjury.
One of the Judges is quoted as having
said that Officer McKenna made mis-
take IN his testimony, as he could not
have talked with the hoy at the time men
toned in his testimony.

Clerk Curry for certified copies of the
bankruptcy proceedings in the case OF

purpose of beginning an acton Tor dam
ages against Kranich q Bach of New
York.
Kranich & Bach were creditors OF
Schloh & Lumler to the extent of about

veney was filed they looked around to find
something to hold as security for the
debt.

business as the Pacific Music Company
Mrs. Schloh bought piano from them
trading another instrument for it and
paying $40 to boot. Learning of this
transaction tine Eastern creditors of the
firm went to the lady's home yesterday
and demanded the return of the new In
strument.
Mrs. Schloh complains that when she
declined to deliver the piano, claiming 1t
as her own personal property, the persons
making the demand. assisted by the Off
GERS of Sausalito Township broke open
her door, whereupon she drew pistol
which was wrenched from her hand. after
which the piano was taken from the house.
Mr.. Musaus declares that the proceed
ings were illegal and says he will proceed
to the full extent OF the law in vindicating
the rights of his client.

HIDDEN ROMANCE
Pretty Mrs. Theresa Abel
Claims Ten Thousand
Dollars.
She Says That She Was En-.
gagged to Marry Him and
Loaned Him Money.
But He Revoked the Assignment of
the Policy AMI the Case Is
Now On Trial.

Judge Morrow was engaged yesterday
in the trial of the case of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company against the
Abel.
Mrs. Abel claims to be the affianced of
the late William Henry Dimond, and al
leges that $40. 600 alleged to be due on al
endowment policy on his life should be
paid to her.
The insurance company is in doubt as
to whether she or the Union Trust Com
pany, re presenting the estate of the de-
ceased, is entitled to the money. Hence
the suit.
The deceased took out the policy on May
81, 1893, agr eeing to pay 1897 per year as
premium. On the 9Th of June, $685. he
made an assignment of the policy in favor
of Mrs. Theresa Abel, and on Novem Der
10, 1895. he revoked the assign ment. Both
the assignment and the revocation were
made on blank forms, at the head OF
each appearing the printed word 'abso-
lute.''
Mrs. Abel alleges that the assignment
to her was therefore absolute, and that he
was thereby debarred from revoking it..
Counsel for the estate of the deceased con-
tended that the assign ment was not abso-
lutte, and that the printed word at the
head of the blank should not be regarded
Mrs Abel was not allowed to testify as
to the fact of her being engaged to marry
Dimond, he being dead. but George D..
Knowles swore that General Dimond told
him that Mrs. Theresa Abel and he were
engaged to be married.
Mrs. Abel testified that the policy was
assigned 10 her in consideration of love
and affection and of $2l00 loaned by her
to the deceased.
The case will be taken up again on
