APPEAL TO THE CHURCHES.
The Work Of the Army Christian
Com M ssion

The Army Christian Commission has
issued the following appeal to the
churches:
The Army and Navy Christian Com
mission of California, organized June
l3, 1898, auxiliary to the Interna-
tlonal Christian Commission, represent
ing all evangelical churches, appeals to
the churches of the State for funds in
the interest Of its work in the United
states army and navy.
TWenty-one thousand volunteers
have modified at San Francisco, COM
ing from all parts of the country, ana
others are constantly arriving. About
12,OOO have already departed for the
Philippine Islands, The Christian Com
mission has carried forward a continu-
Gus work since the arrival of the first
regiments in San Francisco. Prac-
fitrally the same line of work is taken
up as was prosecuted by the Christian
Commission during the years OF the
civil war.
The Red Cross Society is doing a
most necessary and commendable work
for the physical condition of the men,
and the object of the Christion Com
mission is to provide for them spirit
ually, morally and socially.
In connection with the work prose-
cuted by the Christian Commission and
the various societies of the churches at
Camp Merritt, thousands of men have
been reached religiously and over 900
have expressed desire in these various
meetings to lead Christian life. Thou
sands of Bibles and Testaments have
been distributed; nearly every regi-
ment IS furnished with good reading
matter and writing materials; tents in
which are held religious and social
services, etc, have been erected.
Two young men trained in Christian
work, MesSrs. G. A. Glunz of Oakland
and Frank A. Jackson of San Francis
co, sailed on the third expedition for
Manila representing the Christian Com
mission. These young men will prac-
tically carry the work of the church
to the front; they are thoroughly equip
ped for their mission with a large sup
ply of Bibles, hymn books, library,
church organ, tent to accommodate an
entire regiment at one time, paper and
envelopes of the Christian Commission
for free distribution among the SOL
diers. They will conduct evangelistic
and song services, Bible classes, ETC.,
write letters home for sick and wound
ed soldiers, and in other ways make
themselves of the greatest possible use
to the splendid young fellows who
make up the invading army of the Phil
ippines. General Merritt, commanding
these forces, has given instructions
that these representatives of the Chris
tian Commission be privileged to move

THE CROPS.
Fruit Yield Reduced by the Late
High Wind.

The following summary of the cl-
matte and crop conditions is based upon
reports received from nine Weather
Bureau stations, fifty-two telegraphic
reports received through the courtesy
of the Southern Pacific Company and
many reports scattered throughout the
State:
Only a trace of rain is reported for
the week, and that fell at Los Angeles
on June Both. On July 4th, in the fore
noon, a light thunder shower occurred
at Los Angeles.
The temperature has been slightly
above the normal in the interior and
slightly below along the coast except
at San Francisco, where it was slight
ly warmer.
AT the end of June a heavy norther
prevailed in the Sacramento Valley,
doing much injury. Half of the stand
ing grain crop was damaged, and more
than half of the peaches and plums
were shaken from the trees. In some
places lit is reported that even the
leaves We're shriveled. The norther
blew also in the San Joaquin Valley,
but the effects We're less marked.
A fair amount of grain was harvest
ed in portions of the Sacramento VAL
ley and north coast, and small amount
in the lower San Joaquin. Vines are
doing we'll, though there is mention Of
sunburn in some sections.

CITY CRIMINAL COURT.
The Neid1ein Wife-Beating Case
Continued TIL To-Day.

In the City Justice Court yesterday
the case of F. w. Neidlein, charged
with Wife beating, was continued until
this morning to allow the defendant
time to employ counsel.
r. d. Ferguson pleaded guilty to a
charge of vagrancy, and his sentence Of
six months in the County Jail was sus-
pended and he fioated across the
bridge.
Mary Moyle, arrested for disturbing
the peace of w. A. Green, was dis
charged. The evidence showed that
there has been no love lost between the
families for several years past.
Frank Lepoltis was convicted on a
charge of vagrancy, and will do forty
day act in the County Jail.
Joseph Ackerman, a fifteen year -old
boy, was tried on a charge of battering
Johnnie Cody, a child of about six
years of age, and was acquitted. While
celebrating on the nations birthday
young Ackernan threw a lighted fire
cracker into Johnnie Cody's pocket and
ignited his clothing. Johnnie's back
was badly burned, and Ackerman's ar
rest followed. Justice Davis was salts
fed that the injury was the result of

with TIA army wherever it may go, so

young n representing the homes Of

senta4 y Of the commission sent out
with tM invading army.
There is great deal yet to be accom-
plished by the commission and more
tents are needed and funds must be Sc
cured for further work. These are days
when this country is making history
rapidly, and the Church of God should
be on the alert and grasp the marvellous
opportunities presented for carrying
the Word of Life into the antipodes. 1t
is the purpose OF the commission to
place Bible or New Testament in the
hand of every soldier not already sup
piled, and If funds will permit the COM
mission will send Bibles in the Spanish
language to the Philippine Islands.
We appeal to every evangelical
church in California to set aside Sun
day, July II, 1898, as a patriotic day,
in which the work of the Christian
Commission shall be presented from the
various pulpits and a collection taken
for the prosecution of its very import
ant mission We believe this appeal
will meet with a ready response, and
that we shall have your sympathy,
prayers, cooperation and practical
help. If the 18th of July is not con-
venient for your church Splease select
another Sunday. We hope none will
refuse to heed our earnest requests, as
funds are absolutely necessary, or the
good work now being accomplished
must necessarily suffer.
All remittances should be sent to

HELP

The many men of this world who
suffer from the effect of foolish
practices would make an army. But
it would be an army of weaklings.
It could accomplish nothing if call
ed upon. These half-men are not
full of the fire that it takes to
make a good soldier. They feel at
all times as though they need
help. And quite often they fear
that they will never be able to get
any. Early follies may be made up
for, though, If you only seek help
where you are certain to find it.
The moment that you feel that you
are being assisted you begin to

John Wholer's Story Of How He
Got the Blanket.

In the City Justice Court yesterday
John Wholer was convicted of stealing
blanket from Lafferty's STABLES, and
will spend forty days in Sheriff John
sons stronghold.
Wholer, according to his own story
recently enlisted in Battery A, Hart's
Brigade, now encamped at Agricultural
Park, but found he would have to fur
nish his own blanket He had no
blanket, and visited several stables
looking for somebody who had blan-
ket to give away. He claimed to have
found an inebriated individual at the
stable above mentioned who made him
a present of the blanket he was arrest
ed for stealing.
Justice Davis could not swallow his
STORY, and he was convicted as stated.
