noted for the able ministers who have
occupied its pulpits and for the vigor-
Gus discussions of all liberal thought
movements. The one man perhaps,
more than any other, to whom is due
the credit of the present stability of
the Unitarian church. is Thomas Starr
King, who came to this city from Bos-
ton In 1850 when the church was in a
depressed and languishing condition,
and by his magnetic and forceful per
sonality, his ability as thinker and a
lecturer as Well as a preacher, sue
ceeded in filling the empty pews and
not only pulling the church out of debt
bat in making it a strong institution.
At the election of Abraham Lincoln in
November, 1860, the secession of the
cotton states the following February
and the attack on the national flag
King demonstrated his ability as a
leader and at this time he began a
series of patriotic lectures, travelling
from one end OF the state to the other
and arousing the people to loyalty to
the union.
PRESENT CHURCH Is THIRD
The present handsome church at
Geary and Franklin streets is the third
built by the congregation since 1850.
More than 400 families are included in
the present membership and, as there
are no other places of worship for Uni
tarians. the parish is a large one. The
minister is the only one in the city who
boasts of an automobile which. how
ever, he finds absolutely. necessary in
order to see all of his people.
The first building was dedicated July
19, 1859, and stood In Stockton, near
Sacramento. The second, near Stock
ton, in Geary street. was dedicated on
January 10, 1854 and Thomas Starr
King, who had laid the foundation
stone, lived but few months after it
was completed. The present building
was dedicated February 9, 1889.
The present pastor Rev Bradford
Leavitt, began his duties on the first
day of the century. Rev. Mr.. Leav:tt
came from Washington, where he. had
been pastor of All Souls. the famous
church where Calhoun and Webster and
other celebrities had worshipped and of
which Admiral Evans and President
Taft are members
Leavitt is a graduate of Harvard with
the class of 1890 and numbers among
his classmates many we'll known men,
among them Judge Schloss of this city.
Leavitt succeeded Horatio Stebbins, who
had occupied the pulpit for 36 years and
who then became pastor emeritus
z Leavitt is vigorous and many sided
personality who has enlarged his parish
and established himself as a fearless
exponent of clean politics and right
thinking among the people. All mod
ern thought movements are continually
discussed in his pulpit and his enter
tanning method of presenting his sub
ject has made him one of the most pop
ular lecturers in the city
Among the activities of the Unitarian
church are the Claiming auxiliary a
ipf4 roll i<rff,
and practical literary work, and the
society for Christian work, whose OBJ
jeet is direct personal sympathetic char
ity and benevolence. The church asks
no charity and is supported by its men,
bers from the rental of the pews.

Science and the Emmanuel movement.
Notwithstanding the heavy rainstorm
large and interested audience attend
ed and the cozy church at Franklin
and Geary street was comfortably
filed.
"Christian Science was the subject
of the address and the minister took
broad view of the principles laid
down by the followers of this cult.
pointing out the relationship of ali
forms of belief which sought to heal
the sick
INDEPENDENT OF CREED
Leavitt said that the cure of certain
diseases by mental and spiritual forces
is independent of any philosophy or
creed and that cures are wrought by
Roman Catholic relics. Mohammedan
shrines. mental healers Christian
Scientists and Episcopal cIergymen.
The methods of working and ap-
plying the healing power of the mind
are numberless, said the minister,
and so far as ahy one can discern
they all seem to he equally effective
They all cure disease and they all fail
TO cure.
No class of practitioners appear to
advantage when they claim a monopoly
of the healing art. any more than Of
the grace of God. Whatever may be
the mysterious power of the human
soul by which the body is, affected for
good or evil, that power is not con-
fined to any one creed or race.
The influence OF mind over matter
is subject of profound interest To
begin such study by throwing aside
all the skill of the physiologist and
psychologist seems little less than in
sanity. Truth is not the private pos
session of any individual or creed or
book True religion does not COPY
right its revelations; the true physi-
clan does not patent his discoveries.
The cures which Christian Science
work in certain kinds of ailments are
its most efficient means of propagating
its doctrines. Most people who are
interested at all take the doctrines un-
thinkingly as they would take any
prescription or do anything to get
cure What they want is to be cured
and they are ready to try any new
chance.
PEOPLE HUNGRY FOR TRUTH
Christian Science contains many i'm
portant truths. The indwelIing of the
divine presence in the whole world of
matter and of mind: the fact that the
life of the individual and of the nation
does not consist in the abundance of
its material and visible possessions
these are great truths which the peo-
pie of the land have been hungry for
and which the clergy have not for the
most part announced in any effective
way. The influence. of the mind and
will over various organic functions of
the body is presented sometimes in an
exaggerated form--but it is aAtruth
which the regular medical practition-
ers of the world have too long neg
lected in their prejudicial attitude
toward the things of the spiritual ma
ture of man.
Rev Mr. Leavitt spoke last Sunday
on mental healing in general and next
week he will discuss the Emmanuel
movement.

dation in this city in 1850, has been

Iron and steel.

The iron and steel schedules are dis
tinguished through general cutting
in the duties. Iron ore is placed on
the free list and material reductions
are made in the rates of pig iron,
scrap iron and steel bar iron, round
iron, blooms, structural iron forgins,
anchors, cotton ties, steel rails, tin
plates, wire and numerous other ar
ticles.
One of the most important provis
ions of the bill is the Philippine free
trade provision which permits the free
entry of every product of the islands
except rice, and exempts from the duty
any article imported from the United
States into those islands. The amount
of sugar which may be imported is
limited to 100000 tons annually ant
the free importation of tobacco is re
stricted to 100000 pounds of wrapper
100000 pounds of filler tobacco, anc
150000,000 cigars.

of the commercial bodies in the var
