San Francisco, CAL, April 17.-Rac-
ing In California for some time at least
ended today with the close Of the meet
ings at Emeryville and Los Angeles.
The Walker-Otis anti-betting law
comes into effect next week and those
in conttol Of the racing interests In
this statelhs decided not to contest
the law for the present. The proposed
meeting at Tanforan has been aban-
doned. Sentiment shown throughout
the state when 1t became known that
the racing elements had planned a
"test meet" for Tanforan was so strong
that 1t was deemed advisable to drop
the idea Of a meeting in the county
where the officials are known to be
favorably disposed toward the racing
game. 1t may be that single race
will be run to test the law, but the
horsemen have little hope that any
such test will prove successful.

There is happiness for everyone
In our country. far and near.
You can talk about your city,
With its gayety and fun,
But it isn't half SO pleasant,
As it is to get out in the sun,
In the fresh air of our valleys
Where the robin always sings,
Where the flowers bloom in summer,
And the breeze its music brings.
The old Dolores river,
With its long and winding ways,
Is just the place for fun, dear friends,
On long hot summer days.

Temperance Notes,

The saloon is the plague spot Of
our national life.
Figures for the present year will
probably show a reduction of ten per
cent. in internal revenue.
The Good Templars of Nykjobing,
Denmark, bought the Harmonien sa-
loon for $4,000 and turned it into a
temperance hotel.
The future is for US. National
temperance education is going to
gradually res the rising generation
to a knowledge of the evils of alco-
hol.-Lord Waredale, England.
The rum traffic has been RESPONSE
Bile for more hardship. misery, suffer-
ing and death than all the wars in
which the country has been engaged.
Out of each war has come good, but
out of the rum traffic has come moth
ing but evil.
What is the object of the Sunday
saloon? From the liquor mans
standpoint it is the same as the OBJ
ject of the open saloon IN Monday,
Tuesday, and every other day of the
week-to enrich the proprietor and
make millionaires of the brewers and
distillers, and pat the hard earned
wages Of labor into their pockets and
bank accounts.

a n Englishwoman, who was

Mr.. Gladstone's. request by every boy
or girl who was trained at Hawarden
Castle. The orphans were also often
spoken to seriously about temperance
by MI. Gladstone himself:
Drunkenness expels reason.
browns the memory.
Distempers the body.
Defaces beauty.
Diminishes strength.
Infames the blood.
Causes internal, external and in
durable wounds.
It's a witch to the senses.
A devil to the soul.
A thief to the purse.
A beggar's companion.
A wife's woe and children's sorrow.

He drinks to others good health.

REL IGIOUS TRUTHS
From the Writings of Great
Preachers.
A PRAYER.
~~

When others faults, dear Lord, / see,
Kindly in judgment let me be.
My finite eyes cannot perceive
How bitterly their souls may grieve
Their secret struggles 'gainst the foe.
Grant me some share of love divine,
And make my Judgment like to Thine
When my own errors I survey,
Dear Lord, and know that, day by day,
Full oft I wilfully transgress;
My Judgment then be merciless.
May I in all it's blackness see
My sin as it appears to Thee.
Then, conscious only of my need,
May ], o Lord, Thy mercy plead.

The Wondrous Love.

However rich we may once have
been in earthly love, and however
poor we may be to-day, we may be
many times richer if only the heart is
open for the entrance of the Infinite

arrangement, no bereavement, can
teave us poor, if we but know "the
love of Christ that passeth knowl-
edge"

How Every Man Makes Himself.

Sow an act and you reap a habit;
SOW a habit and you reap a charac-
ter; SOW a character and you reap a
iestiny.-Thackeray.
Like fakes of SNOW that fall upper
ceived, unimportant events of life
succeed one another. AS The snow
gathers together, so are our habits
formed. No single fake that is add
ed to the pile produces a sensible
change; no single action creates, how
v it may exhibit, a mans charac-
ter.-Jeremy Taylor.

When everything else is surren-

Dr.. M%uhlenburg, VINO wrote the

said long afterward that the hymn
did not properly represent the best
feelings of the human neart, and that
he would be glad 20 live on in order
to save sinnerc and do the Masters
work.
There r many OF Gods servants
il have this same spirit. They are
::1t lat ease in Zion," and cannot rest
from toll and giving aims, because
they see the harvest is great and the
laborers are few. The Master has for
all such a glorious recompense Of
reward.
Finally, the text has a tone Of as
surance which should be noted.
Pauls positive conviction as to i'm
mortality and his relation to God, lies
between the lines here and is very
manlfc@t. Others may speak of death
as a leap in the dark" but for him it
is a flight into the light. Others may
speak of it as going into the great
perhaps" but ne has no doubts or
questionings as to the blessed cestiny
ahead Of him.
We speak of the rational and
Scriptural evidences" for immortality
and conversion. The most satisfac-
/ tory evidences any mar can have. ARE
those that every Il may lave in his
