ATTRIBUTES Of CHARACTER.
LECTURE BY REV. WAYLAND
HOYT LAST NIGHT.
Applies the Lesson of the Past to
the Future and Speaks of
Christian Endeavor Work.

Rev. Wayland Hoyt of Philadelphia
leetured last night to good-sized au-
dience on Attributes of Character"
He is a pleasing speaker, trenchant in
his remarks, and held the attention of
his audience closely
He said that in the early days of the
church 1T was contended that some
thing more than faith in Christ was
needed, and even Peter was smothered,
so to speak, with the early ritualism,
until Paul withstood him to his face
and showed that faith in Christ and a
spiritual life We're all that was neces-
sary. Charles V. had under his dOmin-
ion three-fifths of the habitable world,
but Spain was cruel then, is cruel now,
and her possessions will soon be wresd-
ed from her She shut herself up
against the light and chose the Inqui-
sition and superstitinn, and now none
SO poor to do her reverence.
Martin Luther withstood the drift of
ritualism and superstition, and left
this side of him a free, open field for
belief Abraham Lincoln withstood the
drifts of slavery and left a regenrated
nation. A lame cobbler in Portsmouth
made himself a benefactor by teaching
the poor children. He withstood the
drift of ignorance, and left behind him
the Ragged Schools of England Will
lam Cary suggested the idea of foreign
missions, and, in spite of the drift of
carelessness of the church, left behind
him the system of missions that has
glorified this country.
Joan of Arc changed the Frenchmen
from their wickedness because she
withstood the drift with the spirit of
faith and religion. These lessons teach
US the principles of Christian Endeavor.
Its great lesson is TO withstand the
drift of corruption in politics. of ILL
doing. 1t leads to good citizenship, and
teaches to stand by the men who dare
to stand against the drift of corruption.
and deliver the town, the city and the
State from constituencies politicians.
Its duty is to stand against Sabbath
desecration.
He denominated the secular Sunday
newspaper as a most potent factor in
spreading Sunday desecration. The Puri-
tan Sabbath was the cause from which
the Fourth of July was born 1t was not
from a Chicago beer cellar The Chris
tan Endeavorer should help to swell
the attendance at church services That
is one of the fundamental principles of
Christian Endeavor-to help build up
the church.

What the Recruits at Agricultural
Park Require.

On being asked yesterday how the

also joined us.
we have in the ranks twenty miners.
Six came from Jackson recruited by
w. W. Ayres. a member of the Grand
Army of the Republic. A H. Crosby of
Marysville is recruiting there, and has
sent down some seven or eight able
bodied men so far. We have examined
and rejected ten on account of de-
fective oversight or hearing. We give
them rigid examination to save the
time and trouble of possible rejection
later on and to avoid feeding men who
cannot pass. Several drunks and hobos
called at the camp and were
chance to feed and loaf. Two left camp
after doing four hours guard duty in

work. That's the best way to test their
devotion to their flag.

THE BIG PARADE.
Excellent Outlook for the Decorat-

From assurances already received
from people who are going to be in
line in the fourth division of the parade
with carriages decorated in flowers and
ribbons, there is no doubt that this
division will present an imposing spec
tacle. The Marshal has received notice
from a large number of prominent
people of the city to the effect that
they are heartily In accord with the
idea, and will be in line with their sur
ries and buggies to help make bril-
liant display of equippages.
Those who have not already sent
word of their intention should do SO
at once, in order that the details of
the formation can be better calculated
Sixteen young men mounted on
stylish steeds and dressed in suits of
immaculate white duck, even to their
hats, will lead the division of carriages
Those in the escort will be: Marshal
Edgar M. Sheehan; aids, Gus Turner
Vim Merkley, F. ]. O'Brien, S. Luke

Imediately following the aids will
come dozen young ladies in q
tally-ho coach decorated with rib
bons. cloth of yellow and punches OF
sunflowers. The young ladies will be
attired in white and carry white para
soils and will be drawn by four gray
horses
Next will come trap seating six
young ladies and driven by one of them.
Two of the ladies will be dressed in red
two in white and two in blue. There
will be mounted escort to this party
consisting of two young men attired in
white and holding ribbons leading from
the horses and from the carriage.
There will be other turn-outs of sim
liar character. and all these will make
the fourth division very attractive
feature. Carts are vehicles that
can be decorated easily and beauti-
fully, and it is expected that several
will be in line with pretty girls as oc-
cupants.
There need be no fear that those in
the procession will not see the parade.
There will be a cOuntermarch and q
good opportunity to view every portion

The model is the work of a small boy
of Mr.. Prices school. and is made en-
trely with a penknife.
Mr.. Price is a record breaker. having
taught the school for over twenty years,
which proves that there is at least one
school in California where the Trustees
do not think il necessary to change
teachers every year or two. His school
stands as high III educational attain

addition. having a turn that way him

they made all the furniture that was
