TRADES UNIONS
AND CHRISTIANITY

A large congregation filled Epworth
Methodist Episcopal Church at Twenty
sixth and Church streets, last night 10
hear Rev w NJ. Woodward on the sub
iect of Trades Unions and Christianity.
The pastor spoke earnestly and conVlnc-
ingly defending in vigorus language the
sermon was. briefly, as follows:
The word of God pleads the cause Of no
special class although all classes quote 1t
in support of their particular theories The
employer often reads approvingly. Servants
obey your masters in all things, for this
is right" but fails TO see that other pas
sage Masters. give unto your servants
that which is just and equal. There is
strife between capital and labor brought
on by each not recognizing the rights OF the
other There can be settlement OF the
struggle except by. the mediation of the
Nazarene carpenters son. The object OF
workingmen combining in union is, first.
protection. The formation of great trusts
has made trades unions a necessity 1t is
useless for one man alone to ask for rights
from a great corporation, but when great
army of men make demand they are
likely to be heard.

THE BICYCLE AS
A MORAL AGENT

Rev. w. E. Dugan of the Stewart Me-
mortal United Presbyterian Church used
the modern bicycle as the subject of his
sermon last evening and for the purpose
of pointing a moral. In part he said
The wheel spoken of is Gods wheel of
Providence in creation and redemption.
A circle as represented by the wheel is
the most beautiful figure and most graceful
curve representing the beautv of provi-
dence. curve is also the hgure Oh com
petition system and harmony such as we
have in the inward workings OF the provi-
dence of God The wheel here stands as
q symbol Of the chariot of victory upon
which Christ is riding to the millennium
glory.
But let US look at these words in refer
ence to the modern wheel the bicycle. The
bicycle is a moral agent in that 1t affords
healthful exercise. 1t is objected that il
takes people from church. but If people only
come to church because they cannot get
away they had better stay at home. The
hiCvcle is a vivid illustration of the power
of a good habit At first you plunge and
fall You are told to turn the front wheel
in the direction you are falling. You think
and stagger and sometimes go down, but
hy keeping at il after a while you instinct
lively turn the wheel the way you are going
to fall; YOU instinctivey balance and swing
vour body What at first you had to do by
remembering the rule becomes a second
nature to you, that you do 1t without
thinking Sc. with a good habit. At first
YOU must remember and try and struggle.
but after a while, if you keep on 1t be-
comes natural to go to church and pray
and do things that at first required a firm
resolution.
The wheel calls for individual effort There
is no leaning upon the shoulder OF another.
In riding a wheel you never stand still. To
ride very slowly is Of the tricks. you
must keep going or fall. So in morals

MRS, EDMONDS
SUFFERS DEATH
FROM FRIGHT
She T hought Burglars
Were in the House.
A DOG SET OFF FALSE ALARM.
SHE DIED JUST AS ASSISTANCE
REACHED HER.
Deceased Was Well Known and Sue
cessful Physician and Widow of
an Ex-Judge of the su-
perior Court.
A DOG SET OFF FALSE ALARM
SHE DIED JUST AS ASSISTANCE
REACHED HER.

Death called DR. Mary c. Edmonds. a
weII-known physician of this city, in trag-
ic fashion at her home, 913 Bush street,
last evening. The accidental setting off of
a burglar alarm wrought up her nerves to
such a strain that she suffered death by
fright. Being alone in her home at the
time. the supposition is that dog which
she kept for protection started up the
staircase which contained the little cleo
trical appliance, connected the circuits
and sounded the false alarm, which
brought fatal results. The police were
prompt in responding but could find no
traces of any intruder on the premises.
About o'clock Mrs Edmonds was seen
entering her house by Mrs Mary Comp
ton, who resides at 911 Bush street. Mrs
Edmonds lived alone, and had evidently
lust returned from her office at $50 Sutter
street At $50 Mrs. Compton was startled
by the sound of police whistle in the
neighborhood. She called to her son to
step to the door and ascertain what the
cause of the trouble was In the mean
time she went to the front upper window
of her house, and looking out saw Mrs
Edmonds at a second story window lean
ing out and blowing a whistle.
Mrs Compton called to the woman and
received the reply that there We're bur-
glars in the house. Realizing that some
thing should be done Immediately, she
called to the unfortunate woman to keep
cool and then summoned help. It. Macrow

passing, and W. II. Kelley, a neighbor
two doors distant, quickly responded and
rushed up the. steps to the door. They
found IL locked and they were unable to
enter Mrs. Compton called to Mrs. Ed
monds to come down and open the door,
and that there were friends near who
would render her assistance.
The doctress disappeared from the win
dow and the men waited at the door.
Soon it was opened and both gentlemen

HOW MUCH IS MAN
BETTER THAN SHEEP?

Rev. ]. George Gibson of the Emman-
ueI Baptist Church addressed large
last evening. He took MS
text from Matthews, Xii:12: How much
then, is a man better than a sheep? lie
said in part:
Christ had no intention TO depreciate the
sheep He was too much of g Jew to DO
that among Jews. He knew the value OF
the sheep commercially, and ne knew lts
Importance religiously. The sheep was %
much value, but man was of more value
and mans greater value can only be ap-
preciated when we know the good parts 05
a sheep. In the Bible the natural world
and the human are brought together in the
sheep and the man. Almost the first story
speaks OF the firstings Of the flock ana the
last on revelation of the lamb before the
throne.
The sheep is always rendering some ser
vice It is always living for others There
never seems TO be a moment that 1t can can
its own. If il eat, 1t IS that alter a "hlIe "hnlI
it may be slain. II it grows Old 1t IS lhal
IL may give of its wool to keep others warm.
1t is at the command OF others, II Is at
the service Of others. If it receives. it Is in
order that 1t may give. To itself the sheep
is nothing. 1t is in the world for the world
Who lives the life of sacrifice willingly?
He is batter than a sheep. VINO works ana
lives and grows for others because ne pre-
fers to do so? He is better than a sheep;
Rut are there many such lives in the World
Yes there are many. There are fatherst
mothers and friends leading humble put
noble lives. Because they are not great
some have despised them. Their glory Is
that they are content to be despised. Pray
God we may have more such men and wo-
men Useful people are more needed tnah
great people or rich people, for sometime
the rich are not 50 good sheep, for tney
live such selfish lives and the world re
members them not by what they gave away
but what they were compelled to leave.
