 THE HAND OF GOD True Explanation for Our Ships Enjoying Such Inn
 nunity. Rev. V. Marshall Laws Unique Ex- planation Concerning the Battle
 of Manila.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 AQQ l c


 90S Broadway, May g.
 At this evenings services at the Church of the Advent Rev. V. Marshall Law de- livered an address upon the immunity of our men and ships from harm in battle He said:
 Among all the reasons which I have seen given for the United States troops passing scathless through the great battle Of the Phil ippines no one. 1t seems to me, has touched as yet the true explanation for our men and ships enjoying such singular immunity from harm in that battle. It has been ascribed to poor gunnery and worse guns. to over-excite- ment that the Spanish aim disturbed and various other reasons. But to my mind 1t discloses the hand of God. Our cause is the taken to satisfy a desire for conquest the desire for an extension of the territory of this pressed. the starving women and children free from massacre and rapine. As such 1t Is God s cause, and God always makes majority for the side which he Is engaged, be the forces great or small. It Is true that in nearly every war but this there have been two fairly we'll defined sides. Some right could be claimed by either belligerent. But when our arms under took to rescue the oppressed. the helplessly downtrodden and the starved it engaged to do heaven has been with us from the beginning. and Admiral Deweys marvellous naval accom- plishment was but the hand of the Almighty, who by the turn of the currents of the sea which are in the hollows Of his hands has pro- plates and suffered not the winds and the waves to defect our shot and she'll
 At a recent banquet where our BlSnOp was present he voiced reflection which I may amplify as follows: If when Columbus set foot on these shores an angel had lowered over his grandiloquent landing and planting Of the standard of Spain. and had told him in pro- phetic annunciation that In four hundred years the armies of this new country would humble that same flag in mighty battle the other side of the globe, and that the very name of Spain would be a hated by-word, how impossible would this have seemed to the naughty Genoese as he looked over our barren shores. where the American Indian and the han hold unHiSputRd dOniniont Here again is the working of God in history. and we do we'll as you know we have done to-day, to invoke in this church the help of the God of righteous battles and to offer thanksgivings for victory in the words of matchless ritual which is never found lacking in suit able language to express human desire and thanksgiving for a people who truly love Him who Is at and the same time the creator of the universe and the friend of little chill dren and helpless women.

MRS. YULE REPLIES.
President Of the Fabiola Asso-
 citation Is Indignant.

The announcement that Rev. Dr. Dille intended to express his views on the Fabiola Derby day at the race track drew a large crowd to the First M. E. Church tonight. Although the notice of the address contained no hint of the nature of the criticism. 1t was more than surmised that the Derby day plan of raising income would be sev- erely condemned, and the surnise proved to be correct.
 Fabiola has long been the pride of the charitably inclined in this city. It has always been the boast of .ne man. agement that the institution Is abso- lutely -sectarian, is open to all schools of medicine and that it dis penses unfettered charity to all who are unable to support themselves dur ing sickness. Any attack on Fabiola is sure to bring forth a defense from the ladies who manage the institution, many of whom are leaders in Oakland society.
 Mrs. John Yule, president of the Fabiola Association, was shown the re- marks of pr. Dille tonight and was asked for her opinion.
 T have been president of the Fabiola Association for many years" said Mrs. l ulC, cLllQ tldFC OStIl CdlleQ upon to explain certain features of our work, but this is the first time I have had to meet such an argument as that advanced by Dr. Dille. I am at loss, in the first place, to know why Fabiola should be singled out for this attack. Nearly every charity in San Francisco has been made the beneficiary of a special day at the race track, and yet, although pr. Dille has been in San Francisco for the past five years, I have not heard of his having con- demned any of the institutions over there for partaking of the generosity of the race track people. Next week there is to be a day at the track for the purpose of raising funds to build a tunnel through the hills into Contra Costa County. Will that project also come under the ban? Will Dr. Dille condemn that and say that a curse will rest on that highway because 1t was helped by the racing people?
 ''Fabiola is not a religious institu- ton and never professed to be- All are welcome, and it's policy is as broad as the broadest definition of charity. Nearly everybody in this city helps it. Among it's friends are people of all creeds, and we have not forgotten that we were helped some time agJ by a lec- ture kindly delivered for us by Rev. Father Yorke. In this instance we feel particularly grateful to MT. Thomas Williams for making it possible for us to have such a substantial benefit. Our best society attends these events and there Is no doubt that much of the days proceeds would not be taken in if it were not for a >haritable purpose Fabiola does not receive any betting money. but receives the total gate re- ceipts paid by people to see the races am very sorry Dr. Dille has ad- dressed such language to the ladies of Fabiola. and think our work deserves rather than discourage
 Last year Fabiola day netted the hos pital over S40O0.

Why is 1t not possible to have a meter through used or wasted, and to fix a uniform rate for all such water? The great complaint of the water companies is that so much water is wasted. But by a uniform meter system, citizens would have to pay for every gallon wasted and if the companies are sincere in sending out notices as at present, that there is danger of a scar city of water 1t would not seem unreason- a plan for saving water for most cer- tainly consumers would practice economy when they saw its effect on their pocket books STUART N.
