SYMPATHY FOR
WEEPING MOTHERS

Rev. ]. George Gibson Of the Emmanuel
Baptist Church yesterday morning deliv-
cred a sermon on THE Weeping Moth
ers," parts of which brought tears to the
eyes of his congregation. He chose his
text from Judges v:2S-"The mother
looked out at a window and cried, why
is his chariot so long in coming?' " In
part he said:

WHIT SENTIMENT HHS
DONE FOR OUR BOYS

THE Home Coming of the Boys was
the subject of an able sermon yesterday
morning by the Rev. Herbert n. Bevier.
In part he said:
California in general and the city in parti-
cular has been nightly swayed by sentiment
during the past week. Sentiment has opened
hearts and purse strings. Sentiment has illu-
minated our streets with bright lighting given
us an evening in Venice, and in so doing pro-
duced some of the most noble night pictures
the land has seen. Sentiment has woven
garlands of holly and olive; turned thorough
fares into boulevards by borrowing of the frs
and the palms; made suppers and twined how-
ers and given the boys who went to war a
Homecoming worthy of the uame. California
resolved that no State should outdo her in the
magnifcence and splendor Of her welcome and
has magnificently kept her resolve.
Sentiment has kept the whole State on the
tiptoe of expectancy for the arrival of a GER
tain ship. San Francisco has ships come and
go every hour of the day. yet this ship has
been so eagerly watched for that news of her
arrival by ordinary process could not answer
for our eagerness No. must send an cleo
trio impulse from the heart of the ocean across
seven miles of boiling to tell our people
that the ship had been sighted. and when

AT THE PARK AND CLIFF.
Contrary to Expectations Soldiers
Were Not Much in Evidence.

Although the people were tired and full
of sightseeing after viewing the splendid
pageant in honor of California'S boys
home from the Philippines, they gathered
again at the park and other recreation
places Yesterday. Doubtless many of the
many crowds anticipated an opportunity
of seeing the boys out of parade and pos
sible opportunities of converslng with
them regarding their experiences on the
firing line, but they were disappointed.
The boys perhaps preferred to rest yes
terday. In any event they were not
much in evidence.
During the past week there were re-
ceived at the Park Museum two splendid
models insstucco of the giant octopus or
fessor Ward of Rochester. n. Y. These
models are life-siZe and caused consider

Heydenfedt of 1910 Post street has do
mated a collection of chronological speci-
mems made and used by the natives of

present war, the specimens attracted
considerable attention.
The usual interested crowd assembled
at the Chutes yesterday. The new lllu-
sion and the ever-entertaining Zoo,
coupled with the many other attractions,
served their purpose and the crowd en-
joyed the day. Adgie and her lions are
on the bill for next week.

Mrs Andrew Snider and sister of Miss

fully associated with the Tivol Opera
Company in the minds of local theater-
goers, became the bride of Spencer ].

by the Rev. George C. Adams, in the
presence of the entire congregation.
The announcement made by Mr. Adams
at the colse of the services last night that
he had been commissioned to invite the
congregation to remain and witness a
wedding was the first intimation that
many of Miss Sniders friends had that
she had selected that as her wedding
day. The date was originally fixed for
the 18th of September, but Mr.. Johnson,
who is inspector for the Continental In
surance Company, and who is prominent
in business circles in Chicago, received an
unexpected telegram last Friday sum-
moning him to that city. 1t was on that
account that the wedding was hastened.
Miss Snider, who for the past few
months has occupied the position of lead
ing soprano in the First Congregational
Church. was in her usual place in the or
gan loft last evening.
After Mr.. Adams announcement she
descended to the chancel rail, accom-
panied by her bridesmaid, Miss Laura
Meigs. Here she was met by the groom,
attended by DR.. w. S. Porter, who acted
as best man. The bride was attired in a
gray "going away gown, with velvet
toque to match.

house was tastefully decorated with red
roses, waving ferns and huckleberry
branches In the dining room the ma
tional colors were prominent, two i'm
mense American flags forming a canopy
in the large bay window. The table was
trimmed with red carnations, placed there
by Miss Beckwil.'s loving hands, and at
each plate was a dainty favor of red,

SOUTHERN LYNCHINGs.
Rev. T. Brown Discusses the Negro
Outrages and Their Solution at
A. III. E. Zion Church.

Rev. T. Brown delivered a strong SER
mon on the recent outrages in the South
and the solution of the race question at
A. NJ. E. Zion Church last night. He said
in brief:
"Since there is no law by which the
lynchers Of the land can be punished,
and since public sentiment has become
so biased on the question Of justice to all
American citizens, the question Of the
law of necessity can legally be raised.
There is not nationality on the face of
the civilized globe which does not in
some way indicate to the negro that they
are his superiors. Such is the outgrowth
of the greatest age in the worlds his
tory.
"Lynching has become a mania with
the American people. Guilty or not guilty,
lynching must be done. Ny heart goes
out to all who suffer the fate of lynching
or other injustice. But another day will
come. Let US wait on the Lord and on
