NOT A VISITATION
Of Wrath of God Was San Francisco
 Earthquake.

| From the Western Christian Advocate. | We can hardly understand how, in this day, any one can seriously charge
 the San Francisco calamity to God as | His method of punishing disobedient | children; and we have seen this view | positively asserted in different publica. tions. Some have even gone so far in | their attempt to explain away some difficult phases of this view as to as
 sert that the good who were destroyed at the time were martyrs. This, of course, Is comforting to friends who
 are left, but hardly accounts for the innocent and profitable lives cut short in their career of usefulness
 That there is a mystery in the awful visitation, it is agreed. That is why it it charged to the Creator. We are un- able to account for the earthquake Scientists and cranks have advanced dozen theories from spots on the sun 1 to the cooling of the earth's crust. Then comes the moralist who lays all
 that has gone before on the table by
 declaring that Providence was the au- thor-mystery and Providence being to all such identically the same. If train leaves the track, killing a score of passengers, we do not hesi- tate to declare it Vas due to a broken fange or a spreading rail. The cause is apparent; no mystery attends the fatal accident. We do not credit God
 with every railway accident If a building collapses, letting scores down to deatah in the debris, we are quick to discover the foundation was weak
 or the cross timbers inadequate. An investigation is instituted and the dis honest builder is punished.
 But when the earth apparently breaks
 f1ange or falls down two or three stories with fatal effect, we cannot, for
 the life of us. see just how it was
 done If we could just get a peep at the earth's interior we might make
 sure but this is not to be granted, and a long process of seismical investigd- tion covering centuries must be en-
 dured ere we may hope to get at the
 seat of the trouble; and when we do,
 We will doubtless discover that that
 particular section of the earth's sur face was shaken because it was physi- cally unable to stand the strain. If San Francisco and Oakland had changed places the week before we would be speaking Of the Oakland dis aster.
 It is a serious matter. this, of put ting the seal of Providence on this and that catastrophe, and declaring it due to the wrath of God. For ourselves, we would fear to assume the role of
 cataloguer; we might tangle matters considerably.
 And then, in this day the idea of God and His government is becoming so big and the realty of His moral rule so strong, that to charge such an awful
 breakup, when saloon and church went down together. and women and babes
 were destroyed in an instant. to a di- rect and conscious act of God is hardly compatible with our present and en- larging conception of God as loving Father.

It was al most impossible to get on the place of bulls" because everybody was going and every vehicle of every description was bespoken days ahead. l walked with my little party most of the way and finally caught cab as 1t was hurrying back to get another fare, probably for the second or third time. Everybody knows what bull-ring looks like. for there is nothing, per haps. that has been pictured or written about more; but I was told that even Madrid had never seen quite such q spectacle as was presented to our mo- mentarily delighted eyes that day. Had 1t been anything but bull-fght It would have been glorious, but in this case the Joy of the mere unsympathetic onlooker was necessarily brief.

spaln's Bloody Sport on Easter Day.

The bull-fight season opens on Easter Sunday, and Sunday continues through out the summer to be the day devoted to this brutalizing sport; so, after all, if one wants to see it, it is only d choice of Sundays. and Easter day al ways affords the best opportunity for seeing the game in all its glory. It is like a great first night in some theatre, when all the best people, in their best attire. fare forth to see and be seen and to applaud the artists dear to their hearts. Spain counts rainy Easter a great calamity. because the bull-rings. being open at the top. afford no shel- ter, and unless the weather is fine there can be no fight. On this Easter Sunday the sun shone as it seldom
 shines even in sunny Spain," and in all my life I have never seen such a

An ignorant miner, Lick, gave the city a great miners hotel and to the state the worlds finest observatory. It was gladdened with many fountains and parks.

Smith Speaks Of Cherries

A few years ago farmers were watering
their cherry trees profusely, and O. F.
Smith, who was horticultural inspector,
advised using very little water on them
and cultivating great deal. Since then
he has planted and raised l40 cherry
trees in his orchard, and now he thinks
he has gone to the extreme of watering
too little. The trees that receive the
most water are full of fruit, and the main
body of the orchard that received about
what he thought was right for them to
have, only light crop Beware OF going
to either extreme.
