only possible but probable In the near
future. Legal action seems nearer than
ever before, and Sunday-closing leagues
and civic organizations are preparing
for the most determined fight of their

gives the most encouragement to the

ney Healey has arrayed himself on their
side One indictment already has been
returned for the selling of liquor on
Sunday, and others seem likely to fol-
low.
The whole matter has been famed
into a fame by mere chance. A waiter
employed at Riverview Park, wls- ar
rested some days ago, charged with
swindling the management by means
of fraudulent sale tickets. Representa-
tives of the park stated incidentally
that it was on a certain Sunday the
walter had committed the thefts. The
grand jury returned an Indictment
against the waiter, but, more important,
decided before completing it's work yes
terday that an Indictment against the
park management for violation of the
Sunday closing act was in order. The
indictment straightway was returned,
and with 1t a recommendation that the
law be enforced in every particular.
We are obliged by reason of our
oaths to take notice of this violation of
the law, and recommend that this law

report of the grand jurors. The action
of the jury put the matter directly be-

thanks for two events that are of i'm, :
portance to the family of the church
Many years ago there was a strange
sight on the shores of brakes Bay. A
vessel hardly as large as one of our
coast schooners was careened on the
beach. But to it was not fixed the
gaze of Sir Francis Drake or his rugged
sailors. They were intent on the chan
lain holding thanksgiving services and
vocing the prayers of the commander
and crew that the same God who had
carried them safely across seas would
take them back to their homes. And
the service used that day was from
the same book of prayer whose liturgy
we use today. Thisscross was not built
to commemorate the deeds of Drake
but the use of the prayer book. II is
significant that twenty eight years be
fore the planting of our church in this
country the service was used on our
own Pacific Coast"
ANNIyERSARy OF BISHOP NICHOLS
The venerable Archdeacon referred to
the fact that sixteen years ago, in st.
James Church, Philadelphia. William
Ford Nichols was consecrated a bishon
to take charge of the diocese of sCalifor
mia. He said that the service might
well be one of thanksgiving, not only
for the wonderful progress of the
church under his guidance, but that
what has seemed an almost crushing
blow TO the church In this city has
brought such expressions of athy
and substantial aid.
IF we do out duty" he concluded.
God will bless our efforts, and the
church In this city and diocese will be
stronger and more fruitful in good
works than ever before 1t is well at
the foot OF this cross that In thankful
ness of heart we renew our vows and
