UPHELD THE ACTION
OF JUDGE LORIGAN
The Supreme Court Sustains His APP.
pointment of New Board of
Directors of San Jose's
Union Bank.

The Supreme Court upheld the ac-
ton of Superior Judge Lorigan of Santa
Clara County in his appointment of a
new board OF directors of the defunct I'm
ion Bank of San Jose. The action of the
lower court was questioned by Charles
P. Brasian, who sought to secure from
the higher court a writ of certiorari in
order to review the action of the San
Jose Judge. Soon after the bank was
known to be in an unsafe condition the
Bank Commissioners began proceedings
to throw 1t into liquidation and the direc-
tors were served with the papers in the
case. One by one they resigned and the
shareholders elected new board. of
which Braslan was a member. Again
the directors resigned. excepting Braslan
and the court made an order appointing
another board emitting Braslan from the
list. Then he petitioned for a writ TO re-
view the matter.
Braslan contended that the order ap-
pointing a full board of directors, which
practically ousted him from an office to
which he claimed to have been duly
elected, was in excess of the jurisdiction
of the court and void, because it was
made without notice to him, and because
1t did not appear that the occasion had
arisen for such action by the court The
opinion denying the petition was written

GODS WONDERFUL WAYS.

1cornpIishment of Great Works.

Mr.. Moody's discourse in the forenoon
at the First Congregational Church was
a lesson on Gods use of little and often
insignificant instruments for the accom-
plishment of great and important things.
This..is one of the mysterious ways in
which the divine power performs its won
ders No one. said the preacher, used to
feel that he was too lowly for the work of
the Creator.
IN fact" continued Mr.. Moody, God
appears to make morG real, practical use
OF small things and sn%lI people than one
would imagine at first thought. Some
how he works up the poor material into
Instruments fit for the divine labors.
Christ didn't go to the doctors Of the San
hedrin for preachers, neither did he pick
out the cultured priests Of the temple at
Jerusalem for preachers. lie Went down
on the shores of Galilee and picked up
some unlettered fishermen and made the
ministers of the gospel fishers OF men, as
he called them. And their preachings and
writings proved the wisdom OF his seiec-
ton Aaron took a small stick in his
hand and bearded the king of Egypt in
his palace. The great, wise men OF the
land laughed at that small rod and
laughed at Aaron when he asked for the
characterization of a nation And yet Aaron S
rod was a magic wand that set Israel
free. The power Of the Almighty was be-

richo, the key to the winning of the
