THE GLORY OF CHRIST.
Rev. Frank VI. Bristol breaches OF
the Snyiour's Mission to Earth.

The Rev. DR.. Frank NJ. Bristol, at the
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church
yesterday morning. chose for the text of
his sermon John xvii:22: THE glory which
thou hast given me l have given them
An enormous congregation was in at

having been unable to obtain seats. The
familiar figure of President Mckinley was
missing from his pew. He did not attend
the services owing to indisposition.
DR.. Bristol commenced his sermon by
citing the conditions which existed at the
time of the utterance of the words in the
text. He appealed to his listeners to turn
to the doctrine of Christ in time of trouble,
and urged them to more carefully con-
slider the great question of soul salvation.
He compared the sending of Christ to
earth by God for the purpose of saving
the world from sin with the sending to
war of a young man to battle for the
honor of his country.
DR.. Bristol spoke of the character of
Christ He laid aside the glory of the
throne in heaven and took the form of a
servant upon earth" Following this the
preacher commented upon the thoughtful
ness which Jesus Christ showed for all
men, which, he said was marvellous and
plainly demonstrated that his mission to
earth was one of love and self-sacrifice.
In explaining the text DR.. Bristol said
that the real glory Of the Immaculate
Christ could not be disposed upon men,
but only that glory which was given him
by God to exercise on earth-truth and
love.
In the course of the sermon DR.. Bristol
said: Christ solved the question of the
ages. how to get rid OF sin. Christ is the
revelation Of the perfect man. We fiEd

of truth and love over error and sim
DR.. Bristol then commented on the
growth and development of the Christian
character. On this he stated: 1T takes
great campaigns and greater battles to
make great soldiers. whether they be for
country or for Christ" DR.. Bristol con-
cluded his sermon in speaking of the mis-
sion of Christ on earth. He said:
Jesus Christ, by his own life, has
taught men how to live. Jesus went about
doing goSd. He went about healing the
sick. feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked He was not self -centred. but de-
voted to the interests OF humanity.
AS we study the history of the world
we may see many men who are ranked
now as great who won their renown by
the sword and the enslavement of others,
and by the exercise of brutal power. Then
there are men who justly deserve their
titles of greatness, for they have rem
dered service to mankind. Greatness con-
sists in great service. not great enslave
ment of others or Of great power wrought
by force.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-"King'
Leary's rule in the Island of Guam, with
its 10000 dark-skinned inhabitants and its
Spanish traditions, has been remarkably
successful, judging from stories told by
travellers who have recently come from
that lotOs-eating land. He has won the
respect and good will of the natives By
his uniform kindness. and his daily efforts
to improve their condition, moral and
political. have been accepted in good faith
During his six months residence in the
island Captain Leary has accomplished a
marvellous amount of work.
The corrupt and grasping governors of
Spain and ignorant priests. who for CEN
fury have Systematically robbed the natives
and ruled by force and superstition, have
been swept from the island. The marriage
rite, long ago fallen into disuse. has been
re-established. The old Spanish laws have
been overhauled and revised so as to meet
existing conditions. Thrift and sobriety
are not only encouraged but required OF
The natives. Schools and hospitals have
been established on the island. and pub
lie works projected that win give employ
ment TO all who may need or desire il.
These things have all been brought about
so gradually that the natives have not felt
that radical changes have been forced upon
them by the new Government
An excellent insight into Governor
Leary's rule may be gained from the OBJ
servations OF Lieut.. Roscoe Spear, a naval
officer who left New York with Captain
Leary in the Yosemite several months ago.

relied upon. and the climate is too hot for
white men. The Government ought to i'm

IAN important piece Of work now under
way is a survey OF the island. We could
not complete it with our small boats. and

will be sent down from here TO complete

4 Difficult Task.

1T has been a difficult task said Lieu
tenant Spear. TO break down superstitions
and overthrow traditions that have been
in force for nearly a century, and to teach
the people the meaning OF honesty in
government But even in so short time
Governor Leary has accomplished this,
and so gradually, too. that the natives
seem to take ii as a mater of course.
The old Spanish Government was corrupt
in the extreme, and robbed the people
without scruple. The priests did their
share, ruling by superstition. We drove
three of them off the island, leaving only
one a worthy old native priest, or chi
morro," Padre Jones who alone command
ed the respect of the people. | understand
that the exiled priests are trying hard TO
get back, but the people do not want
them.
Kidding the island of superstition was
the first step, and then the Governor
turned his attention to the reconstruction
rite and enforced it. Ii was popular. For
a time We had run on weddings-as
many as forty or fifty in a single night.
One of the requirements for securing
license was that the man should first
show his ability to support a wife: he
must have a house and cocoanut grove,
pig and dozen chickens. and must ac-
knowledge his Willingness to work. Under
the old regime il man accumulated any
personal property il was usually claimed
by the Governor or priests, SO that the
natives preferred not to work.

Holidays Cut Down.

THE natives accepted the new condi-
tons without a murmur, and then the Gov
ernor took another step. Under Spanish
rule about every other day was feast
day, given up to fun and frolic, and no
one might work Governor Leary cut
| down the number of feast days about one
half by public decree. and will probably
make another cut before the year is out.
The overhauling of the old Spanish laws
and the perfecting of land titles proved
hard work. but il has been done. Lieuten-
ant Stafford assisted the Governor ma
terially in this work. Then scale of
taxes was arranged-not heavy taxes, but
sufficient to teach the natives that they
have some share in the government and
some responsibility. A collector of GUS
toms-a natiye-has beeh appointed. and
fifteen native guards do police duty
throughout the island.
while the Governor was working out
these local reforms we on the Yosemite
were not permitted TO be idle. First We
made a complete survey of the harbor
and found it deep enough for any ship
-a1Oat. 1t is somewhat exposed to the
southern monsoons. but that fault can be
corrected by building a breakwater at no
great expense. The main trouble is that

have to be built out to that point. where
coal bunkers will probably be erected.

STicKEL, THE MURDERER.
Convicted and Sentenced for Killing Shanklin
Thrice Murderer.

At Kalama, Wednesday, the Jury in
the case of the State OF Washington
against Martin Stickel for the murder
of VIM. B. Shankln, after being out
one hour found him guilty of murder
in the first degree. Stickel is the
most notorious and cold-blooded
criminal ever tried in the courts of
Cowlitz county. A year ago last No
vember, Shanklin was killed at his
home near Kelso, and his house was
burned over his dead body. He was
shot at night while eating supper.
The case was shrouded in mystery,
and no clue to the murderer could be
obtained. Last month he killed Mr..
and Mrs. Cornelius Knapp, an aged
couple, living near Castle Rock, by
shooting through the window while
they were eating supper, in the same
manner that Shanklin was the year
before. The crime was traced to
Martin Stickel, who lived in a scow
on the Cowlitz river. Stickel was ar
rested. He maintained his innocence
