CHURCH AND BIBLE.
Father Organ breaches Before the
Catholic Truth Society.

Very impressive were the religious ex-
ercises held last night at St Mary's Ca
thedral under the auspices of the Catholic
Truth Society. The exercises included the
SiFging Of 1.-THE the d hymns ms yeni Creator
bepediction was also celebrated
Father Philip Organ preached an in
teresting sermon on the subject :'The
Church and the Bible" In the course of
his remarks he said:
The Bible is not merely the work of the
church. but the work of God himself who in
spired its writings. There three things
requisite for a clear conception of the holy
scriptures, namely That the Holy Ghost in
spired and moved the writers to give utterance
TO the truths therin contained, He suggested
the things that were written and he preserved
the writer's themselves from error
To properly understand the Bible a divine
interpreter is necessary and we have such an
interpreter in the Catholic Church. who has
defended the writings from the attacks of its
enemies. The church is the official authority
of the Bible and she speaks infallibly when
once she has spoken. She teaches what il
scripture. and what is not, and it is only
through her that arrive at lust con-
clusion regarding the sacred book

TO STOP THE FEUDS.
Men Who Sell Toy Pistols to Boy
Bandits on Telegraph Hill to
Re Arrested

Following the raid upon the boy ban
dts on Telegraph Hill Tuesday by the
police, during which a number of toy
pistols were captured, warrants Were
obtained yesterday by Sergeant Chris
Hansen for the arrest of James Mearns,
1900 Powell street; c. A. Janke. 1913 Powell
street, and John Doe another keeper
of a variety store, for violating the law
in selling toy pistols to boys. William
Taylor, a salesman in Shreve's gun store
on Kearny street, who was arrested
Tuesday night for similar offense. was
yesterday fined $40 by Judge Graham.
The shooting Of the boy Paul Balda-
racco by Tommy Crofton last Sunday first
drew the attention of the police to the
nuisance and Tuesday night Tony Bar
bini. "a boy living at 429 Union street, was
shot in the arm by John Flynn, another
boy. The boys form themselves into OPP
posing armies of bands, Irish on the one
side and Italians on the other, and fire
their toy pistols sometimes with disas-
trous results. The police are determined
to eXterminate the nuisance, and the ar
rest of the dealers who sell the toy pis-
tolls is the first step in that direction.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, June I.
Prince Poniatowski is not yet ready TO
submit to Oakland his proposition to pipe
water from Blue Lakes. Several weeks
ago Mr.. Cuvellier introduced a resolution
calling for a report on certain methods
of bringing water TO the city limits, the
suppOsition being that the municipality
would look 10 the distributing system.
Mr. Cuvelier stated that Prince POnia-
entertain some such project, and the COM
mittee was instructed to make an investi-
cation.
few days ago some members of the
committee went TO San Francisco to see
the Piince and Director Pierce of the Blue
Lakes Company, but it was discovered
that the investigation was rather prema-
ture The Prince stated that no ultimate
figures can be had at this time, but he
suggested that water might possibly be
brought here at an outlay of five or six
million dollars. He said further that it
would not of course pay to bring water
to this city except they could make con-
tracts with many other cities en- route
and around the bay to Justify such large
outlay.
promised to supply matter to the COM
mittee upon which they can base re-
port to the Council.
When Mr. Cuvelier FIRST brought the
matter up Mayor Snow stated that the
outlay necessary to bring Blue Lakes
water to Oakland would be ST, 1000, but
since those figures were compiled a
method has been found by which they can
be materially reduced.

Labor party at the Turk-street Temple
last night. His subject was, The man
alluded to the European peasant as the
model of Millet's great painting, and
agreed with Professor Markham that the
lords and rulers are responsible for his
aching stoop." Civilized individualism
is aggravated barbarism. In response to
the criticisms of some the speaker said
that if God is responsible for the man
with the hoe he desires to withdraw from
connection with Him, and recommended to
the audience that mankind shall set day
and commit suicide.
