The Destruction OF San Francisco" was
Rev. c. NJ. Meldens topic last evening at
the Mathewson Street Methodist church,
and among other things ne said:

should appeal to every loyal and pa
triotic citizen Is the majesty and dignity
OF our national government While states
and cities will do all that they can. there
Is something supremely majestic in the
way that the government has subjusa ted
the disorderIy and brought order out OF
chaos.
The disaster also suggests the tranx :
toriness of all earthly possessions. There
is something overwhelming in the thought
that the work OF lifetime may be swept
away in a few days Never has this been
so forcibly shown as IN this gigantic ca
lamity that has overtaken the city by
the Golden Gate Men and women who
retired in afiiuence awoke IN penury: those

catastrophe like this occurs IL seems 20
strike the rock OF human selhshness and
cause the stream OF generosity 10 gush
forth
From east and west from north and

was a kind OF majesty IN the way Presi-
dent Roosevelt declined with thanks the
offer OF aid from foreign countries and
said that America could take care OF It's
