One great topic of conversation bot1
fore and aft during the big cruise was
the reception to be given the fleet in
San Francisco. There are a good many
native sons -"slopers,' they are called
among Fighting Bob's fire caters, and
the native son, no matter where he Is
found, is unshaken in his conviction
that the city of his birth holds the rec
ord for hospitality. Many good natured
most of these turned upon some exag-
gerated statement concerning San
Francisco. pro or con. One thing that
the native sons undertook was to con-
vince tho heather from Boston, Chicago
and Macon that the name of this city is
not Frisco" 1t was excellent mission
airy work, though not altogether
crowned with success. Even yet, a good
many jackies insist on pronouncing
san francisco in two jerky syllabIes !;
but. however they misname the city,
they are unanimous in declaring that
1t beats everything and anything they
have seen since they weighed anchor
last December in Hampton roads.
And so It is betting that the best
and brightest little stories of the big
cruise are yet to come Rather they
are now in the making Jack is visit
ing San Francisco and San Francisco
is visiting Jack. Uncle Sans bluejacket
and the California bear are dancing
down Market street arm in arm. Both
are grinning-for both can grin-and
both are laying up a store OF rich anec-
dotes which will be retailed to sue
ceeding generations with the introduce
tory words, When the big fleet was at
anchor in San Francisco bay in May,

hsv. DR.. Wallace McMullen, pastor OF
the all influential Madison avenue
Methodist Episcopal church, New York.
There has been much misapprehen-
sion,' he said, with regard to the atti-
tude the New York conference took
upon the subject of worldly amuse-
ments. The repeal OF section No. 249
would leave the church precisely where
1t was before and means no change of
position. It does not give its approval
to worldly amusementS. It would mere
~ refrain from specifying the amuse-
ments themselves and leave the choice
to the individual conscience. The posi-
t1on of the church was originally stated
simply and directly when it withheld its
approval from such amusements as
could not be taken in the name Of the
Lord Jesus.
TT is for the individual to determine
whether he can join In certain amuse-
ments without injury to his own spir-
itual development
The ideals which 1 would hold forth
to the young men and women who are
contained in the words worship and
service. 1t Is important that those
who would lead Christian lives should
attend first upon the religious exercises
or the church, as that keeps them in
touch with the ideals and spirit of the
church The ideals Of the church spring
from the worship Of God. The source
OF Christian life is to get right with
Cod Then it is for the young man
or young woman to decide what he or
she would do.
Amusement should not be the first
thing considered. This Is an age when
service is demanded of Christians, and
there are many activities to which
the young can devote themselves and
make their lives both happy and use
full There never was time when the
missionary Held was more attractive.
The work OF aiding in bringing the
world to Chris tianity Is one which
should appeal to many young men and
women.

TIL we reached san francisco. was the
show we gave at Valparaiso. No, the

gave the sports down that way the time

fl was like this The harbor at Val
parsiso is like half pie and the people
were just bugs 70 see the battleships.
So instead of keeping on our course
up the coast. what did we do? Why,
we nosed plump into their old half pie
harbor, with the Connecticut in the
lead, and went skimming round the pie
crust and out again without stopping
and were soon making knots once
more. But maybe you think there
wasn't anything doing, It was just

cheering TO beat the band. You can
Just bet It was fun for them. And may
be il wasn't fun for u.s. Why, it was
