CLOSING OF THE REVIVAL.
LAST MEETING AT SEVENTH
STREET M. E. CHURCH.
Much Interest Aroused by Rev. w.
e. Vaughan and Great Ben
eft Apparent.

Last night was the concluding one OF
the revival services held by Rev. w. E.
vaughan at the Seventh street Metho-
dist Church and it was in the main
service for the children of the Sunday
school and others
During the past week Mr.. Vaughan
has carried on the services, not in the
sensational way adopted by many evan
gelists who have conducted meetings in
this city, but quietly and unostentatious-
ly, appealing rather to the thoughtful
ness and Judgment of his hearers, to
show them the reason why they should
embrace the religion of Christ His
addresses have been dispassionate and
logical, yet not lacking in necessary
fervor and responsiveness, and he has
succeeded in arousing a deep interest
among his hearers in the subject pre-
scented to them, and an increased inter-
est in the church., which promises to be
of lasting benefit
Last night, among other things, he
said that the religion of Christ was
based on thought. The reason the world
is religious to-day is because people
have found out by thinking that the re-
ligion of Jesus Ch1ist is light and found
fer little children to come unto me-"
The Bible teaches US that in the be-
ginning of life is the time to day the
foundation of strong manhood and
woma nhood The farmer the mer-
chant, the banker and the successful
business man all tell US We must begin
right in order to accomplish anything
Childrens faces are bright and cheer
he
hearts to find Judgment; no. sin has en-
tered into their souls to defile them
That is the reason Christ said Except
ye become as little children We cannot
enter into the kingdom of God"
EVIL passion change our faces and
leave their impress, and the face of the
innocent child becomes through them
the exponent of degradation as time
rolls on. Christ came that through
Him, as children, in youth and in MD
die life, we should always be beautiful,
by the practice of His teachings. The
great moral force of to-day is the up
lifting of children. Many older people
have the idea that the child is born to
sim and ruin, and they accept that idea
and then after the childs life is settled
by passing years they think it is time
| to redeem him.
If we will let the child alone he Will
come into the kingdom. Let us give
! it every possible help and keep it inno-
cent and good. Taken too late, they i'm
bibe the idea that no one cares for them
and go on in their way in despair. Sac
ramento has hundreds of men and Wo-
men to-day that have grown up in de-
spair, with the feeling that no one cares
for them. Man is not saved by what
he knows, but by what he believes, ana
that was what he wanted to tell the
children tonight. Faith is what saves

THE NATIONAL EDUCATORS.
THEY ARE TO MEET IN Los
ANGELES IN JULY.
State Superintendent Kirk is De-
sirous of a Large Attend
ance of Teachers.

State Superintendent Kirk is forward
ing to the several Superintendent in
the State packages of circular letters
for distribution among the teachers,
urging that they attend the session of
the National Educational Association
TO be held in Los Angeles on July 18th
to 18th, inclusive. The circular reads
as follows:
Fellow Teachers: / desire to make a
personal appeal to the teachers of the
State for esprit de corps which should
characterize them in reference to the
National Educational Association which
which is to hold the session of 1899 In
the city of Los Angeles, July 18th to
14th
When the association met in San
Francisco in 1888 the high-water mark
in State membership was then reached,
and 1 believe the figures have not since
been surpassed. State pride, therefore,
appeals to every teacher in California
to retain if not to exceed that nigh
Standing. The eyes of the educational
world will this year be turned upon the
teachers of California. A test of pro-
fessional interest is to be made. Can
we afford, fellow teachers, to permit the
impression that we have less than we
had eleven years ago?
ITO attend this meeting, to fraternlze
for a. week with the educational masters
and thinkers of America, should be
looked upon as the opportunity OF life
time. It issscarcely within the range OF
probability that the association Will
again come to California during the
next twenty years.
For all these, and for many other
reasons, our teaches should sacrifice,
where necessary, a few personal consld-
erationS and comforts to attend this
meeting. Those who feel that they can
not attend without inconvenience or
embarrassment, may do the next best
thing for the cause by becoming mem
bers at the small expense of ~ each.
Recognition of those who respond to
this appeal will be made by this office
as far as possible.
My intention is to incorporate in the
biennial report for 1900, by coun-
ties, by cities, and as far as possible by
schools, the names Of all teachers who
become members, and the editor of the
official organ of this department will be
asked to publish the list in like form in
the August or September number of the
Journal of Education and thus Will be
given to every school board in the State
an opportunity to take note of those
who have in this way interested them
selves in a matter which appeals so
strongly to the professional and State
pride of every teacher.
See or write your County or City
Superintendent at once for membership
certificates, and enroll your names and
show that Californians never follow but
always lead; that the spirit enkindled
for the n. E. A. in 1888 is still aflame
and rapidly spreading"

CHANGERS PICNIC.
The Farmers of the County Will
Take to the Woods.

To-day the farmers from all parts Of
the county will make their annual pill
grimage to Graham's Park, near Elk
Grove, where they will turn themselves
loose" for the day.
These granger picnics are great
events, and all the farmers. old and
young, men and women, boys and girls,
youths and maidens who can find any
kind of animal to hitch up always get
there if possible. Even when low prices
and short crops prevailed, and the
years outlook was anything but en-
couraging, the farmers came up smiling
on picnic day, but to-day their smiles
will be broader because their crops are
growing luxuriantly and fair prices
await the marketing of their produce.
And what glorious luncheons will be
spread under the shadows of the old
oaks to-day-lunches prepared by the
wives and daughters of the tillers of the
soil. The professional caterers table
won't be in it with those family
spreads" and the townsman who has
country acquaintance will be envied by
his less fortunate neighbors.
1t is said that Assemblyman Morris
Brooke-who is decided favorite with
the grangers and rangeresses-has
been dieting for week in order that he
may be in at least fair condition for the
gastronomic ordeal that awaits him.
The committees have left undone
nothing that might contribute to the
enjoyment of all that attend their festi-
val, and there will be all sorts of amuse-
ments and games for old and young.
Even should it rain to-day these
farmers would not be less happy, for
more rain means bigger crops and more
money when the golden harvest time
arrives
