CHRIST IN ART.
Interesting Lecture Last Evening
by j. w. Erwin.

The illustrated lecture, Christ in
Art" delivered by James w. Erwin at
the Congregational Church last even
ing, was one of the finest of its kind
ever delivered in this city. The church
was filled to its fullest seating capac-
1ty, and the greatest interest was
evinced from beginning to end
In his terse but graphic style, Mr.
Erwin told the story of the principal
events in the life of the Savior, illus
trating by stereopticon views the chain
or events as laid upon canvas by the
masters of both ancient and modern
times.
The simple, beautiful story began
with the annunciation, and following
It. came the glad tidings delivered to
the shepherds of Gallilee, that that
day had King been born" Then
We're thrown upon the canvas repro
ductionS of the great artists, tracing
the life Of the infant Jesus from the
time He lay in His mothers arms in
manger at Bethlehem, to the time when
a boy of i years He stood before the
doctors and wise men and astounded
them with his great wisdom.
Then the scene changed to the banks
of the River Jordan where John the
Baptist announced the approach of
the Messiah, and following this was
depicted scenes of the wonderful events
crowded into the three years which pre-
ceded His crucifixtion.
Christ Healing the Sick" Raising
the Dead" Blessing the Little Chill
dren," Cleansing the Temple" :"
Teaching the Woman at the Well"
AT the Home Of Martha and Mary"
and THE Last Supper" and scores of
other scenes dovetailed into the de-
scription and quotations given by the
lecturer, pleasing and teaching through
the eye as we'll as the ear, and impress
ing the story of the Christ upon young
minds as no other method could
Then came THE Betrayal" the "Ac-
cusation Before PLATE" and the edict
of crucifixion. Jesus Bearing the
Cross" and several views of the cru
cifixion followed, after which came
others indicative of the fulfillment of
the assertion or promise: II am the
resurrection and the life" Through
out, the lecture was instructive and en-
tertaining, alike to old and young.

because the energy necessary to make
a start for some other place was lack

The Stockton boys played ball. The
Pommers played nothing in particular,
except theerTor column, unless the fact
be considered that they showed the
really good crowd present how to make
a mess of stupid blunders.
Some time ago the Pommers met the
Oakland amateurs here and were drop

fact that the local infants have no
chance with the husky visitors was
glaringly apparent. With few young
