Rev. DR.. Paden made a short address,
emphasizing the necessity of more ag-
gressive work toward interesting chill
dren outside the Presbyterian church
in the work of the Sunday school, Dr.
Paden made special allusion to the
pathetic death of Jack Follett one Of
the Sabbath school pupils, last week,
from scarlet fever. The boy was a re-
markable child, and, as one of the min
listers said, his death was a distinct loss
to the whole community.
Little Jack was a sturdy fellow, with
mind of his own and a very strong
character He was one of the most in
terested and interesting workers in the
Young Peoples Endeavor society, and
was known through the Sunday school
for his earnestness and faithfulness in
the line of Christian duty.
The offerings from the Sunday school
for missionary work in the church were
very literally made and the amount
was unusually large.

During the rainy season it is usually
too cool to facilitate fermentation, and
the result IS, except along some of the
river valleys, an absolutely pure at

pressive. The services opened with the
singing of a solo by Miss Beeman of
the choir. Then followed the admins
tration by the pastor, Rev. A. III. Henry,
Of the sacrament Of baptism. Five IN
fants, held near the font by their spon-
sors. were baptized.
Mr. Henry chose for the text Of his
discourse. a simple talk to the chill
dren, the fortieth verse of the eleventh
chapter of Luke: The child grew and
waxed strong in spirit, filed with wis
dom; and the grace of God was upon
him. Christ was baptized, just the
same as you have been and have just
seen these little people baptized" the
speaker began, land as in this, SO In
everything else, want you to think of
the child Christ as a boy like your
selves, and to remember that he obeyed
his parents and studied his lessons and
lived and waxed strong in spirit and
filled with WISDOM just as you must
do
Perhaps you do not know the story
of the child Christ. 1t is an interesting
and instructive story, and / want your
parents to tell it TO you" Continuing,
DIR. Henry said that he was sorry to
say that, while children were taught
more than ever things of commercial
value and were instructed upon sub
jects which would help them for the
rough contact with the world, it was
the growing tendency of the times for
parents to neglect the spiritual train
ing, if not overlook the spiritual well
fare, of their children. He urged the
parents TO teach the little ones the
story of Christ.
Mr.. Henry concluded his address to
the children by appealing to them to
remember that though Christ is dead,
he still lives. After the congregation
had sung hymn S72, the audience was
dismissed with a benediction.

Victoria, B. c., June 1.-THE Indians

rible famine prevails in that district

A NATURAL sANITARIUM.
What a Scientific Observer Has to
Say About California.

Lieutenant John P. Findley, while in
charge of the United States weather
bureau at San Francisco, contributed
an article to a prominent magazine on
the climatic conditions of California,
in which the following statement ap-
peared:
Theoretically, California should fur
nish the best and most varied health
resorts and Sanitariums in the United
States. Within her borders almost
every form of wasting disease should
find the means of temporary, if not
permanent relief"
This theoretical statement from an
unbiased, scientific standpoint, is
abundantly confirmed by experience.
The cool and bracing coast climate,
devoid of any trace of malaria, extends
from the northern part of the state to
the extreme south There is the choice
between this cool, humid atmosphere
and the dry, warm atmosphere of the
inland valleys.
OF altitude there is yet greater diff
ference. From Palm valley. 800 feet
below sea level, to the upper SierraS,
1000 or 5000 above. any altitude can be
selected and comfortable homes be
founded.
The popularity of an almost rainless
summer, during which the injurious
germs of animal and vegetable decay
are destroyed by thorough desiccation,
is one of the striking features of Cali
fornia climate.

DIR. FORMS SPEECH.
German Delegate States His Objec-
lions to Arbitration.

IlO0S TO
London, June 1.-THE correspondent
of the Daily News at The Hague says:
l learn that DR.. Zorn. the German
delegate, spoke on Friday against ar
bitration. When 1 asked him for
copy of his speech, I got point blank
refusal. DR.. Zorn said:
''All that / can tell you is that Fri
days sitting was extremely interesting
and that 1 presented Germany's objec
ton to the scheme for g. permanent ar
bitration tribunal
notwithstanding THIS. am able to
send a full analysis of his speech. He
spoke slowly and with difficulty in
French. He asserted that he was in
structed to say that Germany could not
accept the principle of permanent ar
bitration embodied in Sir Julian
Pauncefote's draft. She objected, firstly
on principle, and secondly on grounds
of expediency.
He then proceeded to argue that it
was derogatory to a monarch's sover-
eighty and to a nations independence.
Arbitration agreed upon between two
nations for a narrowly defined object
was one thing, and arbitration binding
a nation for the unknowable future
was quite another. "A king. holding his
title by divine rights, could not think
of divesting himself of an essential part
of his sovereignty, the right to shape
the nations course at a critical time.
Emperor William, DIR. Zorn said,
would not pledge himself to bow to the
decisions of judges not appointed by
him on cases that had not arisen. These
were the objections on principle. The
objections of expediency were on the

score of expense and the possibility
that the tribunal, in the rendering OF
ubiquitous decisions. might bring the
principle of arbitration into discredit.
DR.. Zorn concluded his speech amid
painful silence.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, replying, said
he thought the objections of the Ger
man delegate showed a view of state
craft which many might consider not
altogether modern
AS to the doubts expressed regard
ing the fitness of the judges. I have no
doubt said Sir Julian, that every state
would take pride in nominating its best
man
Il understand that DR.. Zorn's instruc-
tons were sent under a misapprehen-
sion, as some of his objections would
only apply TO the older schemes super
seeded by the British draft
The correspondent of the Morning
Post at The Hague asserts that at last
fridays meeting DR.. Zorn opposed the
arbitration scheme, but adds that nego-
tiations are proceeding between The
Hague and Berlin.

SMOOTH OVER DIFFICULTIES.
Germany Will Not Bring About Fail
ure of Conference.

London, June 12.-The correspondent
of the Times at The Hague, says:
There , no sufficient reason, as far
as l can ascertain, to anticipate the
failure of the arbitration scheme. Ger
many's objections may possibly have
been intimated to certain members of
the conference, but even in that case
it would have been premature to take
a pessimistic view. If difficulties arise
they may yet be smoothed over. Even
so formidable a power as Germany
may well pause before assuming the
terrible responsibility of bringing about
the failure of the conference.
