Epworth Leaguers' Final
Session
THE TABERNACLE CROWDED
MISSIONARY SERMON BY BISHOP
G. G. M'CABE
Interesting Lectures Given in Each
Department-An Excursion Up
Mt. Lowe Today

| The third and last day d the Epwortf
league assembly opened at S:45 yester'
day morning with the usual song service
conducted by Prof. Excel. The taber'
nacle was crowded throughout the day
as it has been at all previous sessions
since the assembly convened. At
o'clock Prof. Nicholson, who conducts
the School Of the English Bible, began
his lecture, taking as basis the Sermon
on the Mount. He discussed it first in its
relation as recorded in the gospel OF
Luke to that as recorded in Matthew and
the different theories concerning the two
records. He showed that Luke gave
the permanent, worldwide elements
only, suitable alike to Jew and Gentle,
while Matthew gave the illustrations
adapted to the Jew. outlines were given
showing passages in three parts of the
Scriptures more or less incorporated in
the sermon. An exposition of the beati-
tudes followed, showing that the system
taught by Christ inculcates broad and
well-rounded life, rather than precept.
At 10 o'clock Prof. Felker gave practical
instruction in the secretary's duties in
conducting league work. He
was followed by Rev. E. A. Healy. who
gave a valuable lesson on the very es-
sential department of finance. Miss Alice
Brown conducted the usual work Of the
Junior league in the lecture hall.
Dr. J. n. Beard delivered the lecture in
the department of sociology, taking as
his subject, The City and the Church"
He spoke of the great migration of re-
cent years from the country to the city.
He described some of the causes, the
effects and the remedies, treating the
subject in a general way much as other
leading sociologists of the country.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
pr. Berryman Bryant Succumbs After
 a Long Life of Usefulness.

pr. Berryman Bryant. native of Spar tanburg, S. C., aged S1 years months, died at the residence of his son, Calhoun Bryant at 2916 Clay street. last evening. The doctor has been resident of this State since June, 1849 and in former years was a prominent member of the Society of California Pioneers. and was a prominent Mason.

 In early days he practiced in Marys vile, and erected 9 large hospital in Sac ramento Later he, practiced in Gilroy and San Jose. He has been largely in terested in farming, stock raising and manufacturing and is well-known all over the State
 He was a Presbyterian and has been an elder in that church for, over forty years. He has been repeatedly urged to enter politics. but has always declined. preferring private life One of his last wishes was that he be buried among his old friends in Giroy.

dren's feet were made to rest on the cold, wet earth. Colds and sickness fol- lowed this condition of affairs, and the present board hired another store farther away rom the center of the settled dis trict, where the children, or such of them as can be packed into the building, are provided for. At Twenty-fourth and Cas- tro streets is another store rented for the smaller children. Neither of these places Is suitable for the use for which they are occupied, as they are draughty and cold, with no proper ventilation.
 The club, at it's last meeting discussed the condition of affairs in this respect, but 1t was deemed best to take no posi- tive action at present, as any complaints made received no attention from the members of the board
 A strong petition will, however, be pre- sented to the Supervisors before the next tax levy is made for a sufficient appro- priation with which schoolhouses may be built for the accommodation of the chill dren in the district next year.
 Another cause of grievance debated by the club members is that of no lights in the district. They have asked for two electric lamps in the vicinity of Twenty third street and Hoff avenue. The ex- pense of running the wires into this sec ton is a mere trif1e as the company has poles to within few hundred feet of the place.
 After sundown this section Is as dark as the most distant part of the north pole in the month of January. But this would be overlooked as comDared with the disadvantage of having the children deprived of an education by reason of no proper buildings.
