Life regarded as stewardship Is at
once simpler and more rewardIne than
any purely selfish life can be. aud when
it is for God the opportunities Of time
take on dignity which lifts them high
above all petty motives and disheart-
ening fears A year devoted to Gods
service may not bring Us clear vision
Of results attained, but II will assure
us the best use of time, freedom from
weakening regret and the peace OF
heart which Is not the least of the con
ditions OF efficiency. In Christ's thought
the order OF devotion was of the high
est importance. What comes first in
nfef His counsel is that the kingdom
OF God and His righteousness should
have the right of way. He feared the
influence Of a primary absorption In
the cares Of life. He contrasts the
love and service of winning goods for
self with the love and service OF God.

other or else be viii hold TO one and

Faithfulness at times is no easy

ONE MAN
IS HELD
For Assault Upon
Mail Carrier
Sylvia.
HEARING BEFORE
COMMISSIONER
Philip is Discharged and Bond
of Abraham Manase is Fixed
at $500.

Abraham Manase and Henry Peter
the two natives charged with assault
upon a United States mail carrier, John
F. Sylvia, on New Years Day, We're
given a hearing before Commissioners
| Robinson in the United States District
Courtroom last evening. Peter was
discharged upon motion of United
| States Attorney Dunno and Manase
was held to the grand jury in bonds of
$500. The lowest punishment for the
crime alleged is a fine of 500, and the
maximum $1,000 fine and a years i'm
prisonment.
John F. sylvia, the mail carrier, was
the first witness. He testified that the
| assault was committed on New Years
day. about o'clock in the morning,
while he was collecting mail. While his
cart was standing on Queen street, near
an open mail box, these defendants came
up and attacked him. Manase struck
| him in the face, and then attempted to
throw him down and take away the mail
bags. Peter, the witness said, caught
hold of the horses reins, but let go when
asked to DO so by Sylvia.
On cross-examination Mr.. Robertson
attempted to show that sylvia had his
cart on the sidewalk. and that no one
could 1ass without leading the horse
away.
Aren't you one of these fellows that
are always going about with a chip on
your shoulder, waiting for some one to
knock it Off" asked Robertson.

Aren't you always looking for

of him until Mr.. Wynne came up and

the carrier holding his hand to his face,
with his hat on the ground.
Isaac r. Lowney, colored waiter from
San Francisco. testified that he had
heard the natives joshing the carrier. and
later one of them tried to knock him
down.

asked Mr.. Robertson
THE natives were just joshing."
Don't you know what they said?''
mo; they were talking Kanaka
words"
A. NJ. Ormiston testified that he saw
one OF the natives strike the carrier in
the face, and then they grappled
j. d. Wynne gave the same evidence
one of the natives hit the carrier in the
face. Then they clinched. Witness sepa-
rated the combatants and warned the
natives not to interfere with the United
States mails
Charles T. Vincent testified that Peters
caught hold of the horse, but let go when
told TO do so by the carrier Then Ma
nase seized the horse, and when sylvia
asked him to let go, struck him in the
face.
No evidence was introduced by the de-
Tense, and upon motion Peters was dis
charged from custody.
Commissioner Robinson held Manase
to the grand jury in bond of $1,000, which |
was afterwards reduced to $500 upon mo-
