THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1895. OREGON SANDERS'ADDRESS His Talk Before the American | rotective Association | Yesterday. | HIS IDEA OF AMERICANISM.; The Mixing of Church and State.

Con- the Government for the maintenance of | religious institutions, he maintained, was | also a mingling of church and state, in olation of the constitution, and that it | was the taxing of the people at large to in- | culcate the ideas of some particular creed. | There we: ome of the American Protec- | tive Association who indorsed this, be- cause they clamored for religious instruc- tion. In the past eight years, he said, bills amounting to more than $4,000,000 had been allowed by Congress for the support of religious bodies of different creeds. Much of this money had been obtained for the purpose of teaching the Indians, and that, he said, wasa mixing of church and state, for each religious body sought to impart its doctrine to the Indians, ana that was using the money of the people for religious instruction. lfe said that there were a number of such bills now pending before Congress, and that when the time comes to vote not 2 member from Califor- nia would have the courage to vote ‘‘no,” or ever object. He then said that the exemption of church property from taxation was unjust and also a mixing of church and state. He said that it was increasing the taxes of one class of the community that the other might go free of the burden of government. He declared himself in favor of the taxa- tion of all property alike. He then made a few remarks on free- trade and tariffs and said that in time the country would be flooded with tariff litera- ture. He advised the people not to read ~ach, but to read two speeches made by Daniel Webster on the tariff, one in 1824 and the other in 1828, both of which he termed unanswerable. The attempt to rrevent the delivery and distribution of mail on Sunday and the passage of Sunda; laws he said were attempts to mix churc! and state, and the latter was an infringe- 1aent on the personal libert{ of the people. On the subject of the public schools he said that no religion should be taughtin | had not had much benefit from it, as he went | the handball courts yesterday was the news that reached the City on Saturday | | but the result will not be known here till | son and’ D.

He paid a high tribute to the public school system of the United States, although he to school in the wilds'of Oregon only when st rained, but when he said that, he did not want to have his hearers think that he was in school all the year round. He wanted, he said, the church to keep its hands out of politics, and if it wanted to teach religion to go and teach it outside of the public school. He then spoke of free speech, and gave his idea of what that was. He said that a son had a right to say whatever he wished about a church oc & regiment, for no collective body could be slandered, and that the people shonld judge if the speaker told the truth. In conclusion he said that the American school was an American institution, and added, in the words of George C. Gorham, * Woe betide the power that shall ever in- terfere with it.” . The meeting then closed with the sing- ing of ““ Columbia, Gem of the Ocean,’” by the audience. THE BLE%SER BLEST. Rev. F. L. Higgins’ Address at the First | Swedenborgian Church. At the First Swedenborgian Church, on O’Farrell street, near Webster, the Rev. F. L. Higgins spoke yesterday morning on the conditions of receiving mercy and love. The text was Luke vi:36-38 and among other things the speaker said: “The conditions of our receiving the Lord’s mercy and forgiveness are by the text plainly shown to be according to the degree in which we ourselves exercise mercy and forgiveness toward others. So long as we are unmercifui there is no rocm in us for the inflowing of the Lord’s mercy to us. The vessel full of foul and noxious liquids must first be emptied of these be- fore pure and sparkling waters can flow into it. And we must pour out of our hearts all feelings of unmercifulness and condemnation of others, however much they may have wronged us, before we can make room for the Lord’s pure mercy and forgiveness to flow into our souls. And as we can only receive mercy from the Lord through the exercise of it toward others, so likewise can we get love only through the exercise of it. “We sometimes long and pray for more love and happiness and wonder that it is not poured into us from above. But would we not think the smith bereft of reason who should simply sit still and pray for stronger muscles? His arms will only gqet strong by using them, and constantly. So if we want love let us go and do something for somebody or put forth our handsto help others.” We will find love flowing through us to those we help and both blessing them and filling us with joy.” LAWLOR LIKELY TO LOSE, Result of the First Rub for the World’s Handball Cham- pionship. Several Closely Contested Games Played In the Local Courts Yesterday. | The principal topic of conversation in night about the match for the world's championship between Lawlor and TFitz- gerald. The first rub of ten games was played in Fitzgerald’s court in Tralee, Ire- land, on August 15, and Fitzgerald won eight out of the ten. This was a great surprise to handball piayers here, as the general opinion was that Lawlor would win easily. The sec- ond rub was to be played in the Grattan- street Racquet Court, Cork, on August 20, Tuesday or Wednesday. Fitzgerald has three games to win and Lawlor nine. Fitz- gerald had the advantage of playing in his own court in the first rub, and although Lawlor had such odds against him it is be- ved here that he has won the champion- News of another match played in the tan-street Court on August 9 between asey, champion of the world, and s Dunne of Brooklyn, N. Y., on the one side, and James Fitzgerald, champion of Ireland, and W. O'Herlihy of Cork, also reached the. City on Saturday. They played the first four games out of seven. Casey and Dunne had scored the four games when Fitzgerald and O'Herliby had only scored one. The chief event in the local courts yes- was a match between Champion of Australia and_J. Harlow, the ast champion, and J. Lawless, old-time partners. It was keenly contested from start to finish, and Jones won the fifth and winning game by only one ace. At the Union court the event of the was a match between R. Leniban and Pennoyer against J. Feeney and J. Nelson. It wasone of the closest games ever vlayed in the court, and the final was won by Leniban and Pennoyer by one ace. Among the interesting games played at the Occidental court was one between T. ". Bonnet and Willie Jacobs against Den- champion of Oakland, and C. J. . It was won easily by Bonnet and Jacobs. Two closely contested games of racquets were also played. Next Wednesday night the first rub between M. J. Kilgallon and T. F. Bonnet will be played, and in the preliminary event John Purcell and Al 8 Hampton will play James Nelson and Ed Maloney.

TOUCHING WORDS AT PARTING. The Venerable Pastor Will Labor for the Pacific Theological Seminary. Rev. J. K. McLean, D.D., president of the Pacitic Theological Seminary, bade fareweli to his congregation in the First Congregational Church, Oakland, yester- day, and in doing so the venerable clergy- man ended his pastorate of nearly a quarter of a century in the fashionable church on Twelfth street. The parting was impressive, with a touch of tenderness in it, beautiful in the eloquent words of the preacher combining a prayer for the congregation with expressions of his deep- felt gratitude and kindliest wishes. The church was crowded to the doors with people who had long ago learned to esteem and love their pastor. The bond of sympathy was all apparent in the sincere interest taken in every word he uttered. tions. The woman of Samaria was one who chose personal satisfactions for which she abandoned the higher, spiritual pleasnres. ‘“I'he otheroccasion was the great feast— the harvest home of the Jews, among whom when harvest had been gad:ered in it was a beautiful custom of Jewish priests to carry water each day to the temple with loud acclaim and there, pouring 1t upon the steps, to praise God. “It was a very significant service and ap- propriate. Jesus took advantage of it, for it was at the end of this feast that he spoke: ‘If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. If any man believeth on me, as the Scriprure has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.’ l'-‘j(is teachings, his grace, shall be a flowing well spreading verdure. Itis the true doctrine_of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Manly of us have a doctrine, a theory of the Holy Ghost, which we hold i to firmly; many morehave an experience, a conception which is little better than a travesty. 2 ““The true conception comes tousin a rap- ture; the true doctrine brings from the lowest depths the satisfactions that make the soul wise and strong and full of under- standing, strengthen: with might and grace. The fullness of the Divine Spirit makes a beautiful life; it tends to make beautiful faces, beautiful worlds. “These satisfactions that come up through the depths of our being are not exclusive. The soul once so equipped can wealth, position, success, prominence, can aught else compare with its satisfactions? Let kindness, goodness, faithiulness exist in the human soul up to the brim. It fills to the utmost the grandest conceptions of human nature. “This is not merely for the Johns, Pauls, Timothys, not merely for the Luthers, Wesleys, Newmans; it is promised to al! souls. Christ will dwell in your hearts.” Changing his theme Dr. McLean said goo’ =z . Lo = — 7 N REV. J. E. McLEAN, D.D., PRESIDENT OF THE PACIFIC THEO- LOGICAL SEMINARY. [From a photograph by Smith, Oakland.] Ladies of the congregation had decorated the pulpit with evergreens—clusters oi ferns and potted palms, vases holding bamboo sprays—and among this leafy row were great branches of vellow marguerites and chrysanthemums. ~Those evergreens and flowers presented a striking contrast that added much beanty to the interior, while giving evidence of a delicate tribute to the pastor. The choir, under the direction of A. M. Benham, was at its best, having been aug- mented by the addition of a full chorus. Throughout the service the following selections were rendered with very pleas- ing effect: “Send Out Thy Light,” Gounod; solo, Mr. Robinson, *In Heav- enly Love,” Howe; guartet of Methodist Chureh, “God to Whom We Look Up,” Chadwick; violin solo, Miss Hush, “Largo,”” Handel; “Hark My Soul,”’ soprano and also solos and chorus, Sheeley; tenor solo, W. E. Bachelder, “‘My Soul is Athirst for God,” Gaul. Clos- ing sentence. Dr. McLean was not accompanied by other ministers in the pulpit, nor did be attempt to dwell too long on his formal withdrawal from the church. Though it was his last sermon as pastor in that pulpit he preached in a strain overflowing with paternal solicitude for those he was leaving, and only at the close of his dis- course did he refer to the change. Indeed he had announced his attention last May of resigning to give himself more fully to the Theological Seminary in these touching words: Dear Brethren: You have already been in- formally made aware of the impending change in our long-continued relation as pastor and people. I donow and hereby formally tender my resignation and request your acceptance of the same, to_take effect on the 31st of August. * %% T do not wish you, however, to think that I have been able without deep pain to ar- rive at the conclusion herein expressed. I am scarcely able even yet to conceive of any earthly form of life for myself except as_con- nected with this church and its work. Ican almost as easily conceive of moving out of my resent body—indeed, out of my present_self— nto some other body and some other self, and of so becoming some other person, as to con- ceive of living under conditions other than those which have prevailed with me for the pest twenty-three years. I walk as one groping is way into a new and unknown mode of ex- istence. Dr. McLean’s discourse was upon the texts taken from St. John, fourth chapter, 13th and 14th verses, and seventh chapter, 37th _to 39th verses: “Eyery one that drinketh of this water shall drink again; but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst again; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life. “On that last day, great day of feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying: ‘If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink. Ifany man believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his beily shall flow rivers of living water.” Thus spake he of the spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive.” The speaker said that these were two of the most marvelous chapters of scripture, and as he read them he wished that he was not standing thereat the end of his twenty- three years’ terin in_the pulpit, but rather at the beginninf. He desired to refresh the memories of his congregation on the occasions which brought out those words from the Savior’s lips. “The first time,”” he said, “Christ was sitting thirsty an hnniry at 8t. Jacob’s well in Samaria, while his disciples went to the city to bn{ bread. A woman came to the well while he was waiting. He spoke to her and asked her for a drink. e was surprised that he, a Jew, should ask a Samaritan for a drink from her pitcher. Christ's answer was ‘Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst ain; but whosoeverdrinketh of the water that 1 shall give him shall never thirst ;glin. But the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water spring- ing L up into eternal life.” This woman was a typical character. She was not an sbandoned woman, but after the standard of her age a reasonably respectable one. She had the ear, the con- fidence of the city and the people went out to hear Christ. She was typical of the firen majority of the human race who ive down to our day .for selfish satisfac- that this conception of true life was one he had sought for himself to present, and only | regretted he had not been able to convey it more adequately and faithfully. He | desired for ali the people in the congrega- tion more and more an approach to that type ot beimthnd liveia fH10s iresetiFrin appreciation of the patience, kindness, forbearance and co-operation of the church and all its members, who, he hoped, as years passed, might be able to realize more fully the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. In the evening the service was largely attended. Dr. McLean preached a brief sermon on “Christian Joy,’”” his text being John’s Gospel xv:ii: “Those things have I spoken to you that my joy might be in you, and that your joy might be full.” “It was the design of the great creator that human life should be joyful,” he said. “‘Christ’s joy did not depend on anything outside of himself, or that was merely cir- cumstantial. He owned no house, no rail- roads, no hotels, no strings of horses; he had no office and received no plaudits. His life was complete within himself; and nevertheless it was a very joyful life. He says he was to have that kind of foy—‘m joy.’ There has been quite a full experi- ence trying to retain joy along other lines than those Christ lays down. Many of these attempts have ended at the mouth of the pistol, or over the side of the ferry- boat, or in penitentiaries, or in broken- heartedness, utter disappointment and desolation. ‘It is quite time that the world should try for some other brand, some other vari- atg of joy. The testimony of thousands who have received his scheme of life is that it is joyful, even in the midst of sor- row. Martyrs exulted at the stake. Out of poverty many have enriched them- selves and made others rich.” Dr. McLean will fill the pulpit in Plym- outh Congregational Church, Baklnnd, and also devote himself more closely than ever to the work accompanying his position as president of the Pacific Theological Sem- mnr{‘. ‘When he became pastor of the First Con- gregational Church the congregation wor- shiped in a small building at Tenth and Washington streets. But that was nearl twenty-four Iyeurs ago, and the present edi- fice on Twelfth street is one of the largest and handsomest in Oakland. During Dr. McLean’s incumbency nearly 2200 persons were received into the First Congregational Church, and he united in marriage over 2000 peopls LATTER DAY SAINTS. Messrs. Beck and Beatie Address the San Francisco Branch. John Beck and W. T. Beatie, prominent silver miners of Salt Lake City, addressed a meeting of Latter Day Saints at 909 Mar- ket street last evening. The San Fran- cisco branch of the Latter Day Saints is presided over by Eider Henry S. Tanner, and it was at his invitation thai the silver men addressed his coniragation. Mr. Beatie was the first to speak. He was surprised to learn that San Francisco had a flourishing branch of the church of the faithful, and glad to know that the members met in weekly service. He had been born of Mormén parents and reared in the Mormon religion, and was proud to acknowledge it. He believed that these peovle had always striven for the upbuilding of the Church of Christ. Mr. Beck said that there had been a good deal of prejudice against his people fmm false report, which was dying out. He ad- monished his hearers to make their lives conform to their religious professions, and to_press on living always in the true faith. Mr. Beck is part owner in the Bullion- Beck silver mine, which is located about seventy miles from Salt Lake, at a place called Tintic. Atthe present time he is shipping about 100 tons of ore daily to Denver and_Pueblo. Mr. Beck has just ordered two Bryant mills from the Risdon lron Works.

Views of Chailrman Fergusson of the Meeting, Knox and President Marlatt. Colonel William M. Graham of the Fifth United States Artillery, brevet brigadier- general, has given an additional offense {0 tte anti-railroad men. His letter respecting the resolutions adopted at the Metropolitan Temple mass- meeting in condemnation of his inscrip- tion, “Murdered by Strikers,” on the monument of the soldiers killed at Sacra- mento, has made a great many people feel like asking him, “Who made thee a judge over us?” The particular portion of his letter to which exception is taken 1s that which charges the participants in that gathering with doing “treasonable” things. The words of the general were: I respectiully decline to comply with the treasonable demands of men who have pub- licly put themselves outside the law and of the Tespect of honest, law-abiding citizens by adopting resolutions of sympathy with public enemies and condoning the crime of murder. There are four men which this charge of General Graham _directly concerns. These are M. J. Fergusson, who was chairman of the meeting, Harry Knox, who was at the head of the ‘American Railway Union movement here during the strike, E. D. Marlatt, the pres- ent_president of the local A. R. U., and C. EP Crandall. Messrs. Marlatt and Crandall constituted the committee that arranged for the meeting. = There is one more man. That is George W. Monteith, but being a lawyer Mr. Mon- teith clearly understands the difference between the constitutional defimition of treason in this country and General Graham’s idea. Mr. Monteith, therefore, simply smiles and observes that the courts are open to any person believing the meet- ing to have been a treasonable one. The four men whose names were men- tioned together were called ngon yester- day as a matter of justice to them to see what they had to say in response to Gen- eral Graham’s charge. They had the one sentiment in common, namely, that Gen- eral Grabam assumed the same attitude toward the mass-meeting as he did toward the Sacramento affair. Mr. Fergusson, the chairman, is disposed to be very conserva- tive and to do everything pro forma, so his words were rather colorless. He said: I do not think I have anything in particular to say just now. General Graham hasa right to his opinion, but it is purely a difference of opinion between us. He takes the identical position on the meeting he took with relation to the death of the soldiers. He thinks the soldiers were “murdered by strikers,” and has accordingly placed himself on record in that inscription on the monu- ment. We think, on the other hand, that the soldiers were not murdered by strikers, and that for an officer of the United States army under the pay of the citizens of this Republic to make such'a statement, in such a manner and under such circumstances, withoutany judicial basis for it, and in the absence of in- structions from his superiors, is, to say the least, assuming prerogatives which do not be- long to him. The matter will be Iorml“{ communicated to the Secretary of War. 1shaildoso purelyina formal manner and because, aschairman, I was instructed by the meeti- g to do so. That will be the next step, and when I get ready to do that I may have something to say. 1sup- pose General Graham himself has already re- ported his version of the facts to his superiors. We all regret the death of those soldiers, and €0 did the strikers regretit. None but insane men would have wanted anything like that to have happened. Its occurrence certainly could not have helped the cause of the strikers. H. A. Knox, who, because of his connec- tion with the railroad strike, feels that the insinuation of General Graham’s inscrip- what is better to the sportsman, they are gamey and as toothsome fish as ever fur- nished a Waltonian pleasure or tickled the palate of anepicure. Trout Creek,a small stream flowing from the southern shed of Mount Shasta, is remarkable for the great number of trout found in its waters. It is an ideal trout stream, with the very best of opportunities for fly-casting, and you may rest assured that our party enjoyed the pleasures it affords with a relish.” If any one should desire a splendid trip Eastern Shasta and the streams flowing in south from Mount Shasta will afford all the pleasures any lover of the rod and gun could desire.” —————————— AT PARK AND SEASHORE. One of the Largest Crowds of the Season Visit These Resorts. In spite of the fact that the wind was decidedly gale-like and the fog hung in dark clouds, one of the largest crowds of the season visited the park and Cliff House yesterday. There was hardly a vacant seat to be had around the music stand, while the driveways and walks were equally as crowded. The playgrounds | were filled with happy, laughing children, while the merry-go-round and the don- keys had all they could do to accommo- date the little ones. At the Cliff House nothing out of the usual trend occurred, except an exciting ten minutes’_encounter between two big sea lions. People who chanced to be watching Seal Rock about 2:30 o’clock saw two lions suadenly tumble into the water and then battle with each other. They fought desperately for about ten minutes, when the largest lion gave a mighty roar and sank beneath the waves. The other lion floated around for a few minutes as if in search of his antagonist, and then com- placently resumed iis position on the ToCKS. COURSING AT THE PARKS, Little Tom Again Wins the First Prize at Kerrigan’s Resort. Skyball Exhiblts His Speed at Cas- serly’s--Flashlight Won the Stake. The wind blew cold across the coursing parks yesterday, and while the tempera- ture added nothing to the comfort of the spectators, it made the hares fast, and good coursing was the result. At Kerrigan’s Park, Little Tom, the clever white hound that won the forty- dog stake on the 18th inst., distinguished himself and enriched his owner again by winning from thirty-nine other dogs of high degree. Following is the result of the running: Nellie D beat Belle, Spring beat Glenade, Marquerite beat Mary Best, Jimmy Hope beat Maud G, Dashaway beat Georgie Dixon, Fox- hall beat Sculptress, Lady Fitzgerald beat Famous, Occident beat Butcher Boy, Diamond beat Mary K, Evening Star beat Fly, Light- weight beat Young Slavin, Lamplighter beat Thorndale, Jenny Lind beat Ben, Regent beat Trilby, Ivy Leai beat Annie Daly, Mayo Boy beat Oregon Boy, Little Tom beat Cyclone, Woodford beat Sunflower, Fairy D beat Bonnie Lass, Nigger beat Nancy Till. First ties—Nellie D beat Spring, Jimmy Hope beat Marguerite, Foxhall a bye, Lady Fitz- | erald beat Lightweight, Occident beat Lamp- fighter, Evening Star beat Diamond, Regent beat Jenny Lind, Mayo Boy beat Ivy Leaf, Little Tom beat Fairy D, Nigger beat Woodford.

On Sunday next a forty-four dog stake, $2 entrance, with $25 added by the manage- ment of the Park will be run and some crack dogs will be entered. At Casserly’s Park the crowd had the g]ensure of seeing Skyball, rated asthe best ound on the coast, run away from Flash- light, the winner of the twenty-four dog stake. The latter rana bye in the third ties and Skyball was putin for a tryour. tion is aimed at him in_particular, ex- pressed his sentiments in the following: This man seems to regard himself as the monarch of all he surveys, but he will find that there are some things higher than he is before he gets through with this matter. Tonly wish that he would say either to my face or in some such way that I could get bacl at him_in some legal manner for it, the things which I am told he says of me to third parties and not in my presence. I would see if he en- joys perfect immunity in the making of such statements. There is only one thing to do in the premises that seems to be anything like the next step to properly take, and that is to have the facts communicated to the Secretary of War. That official rk’fliresents the people of this country in the War Department and happens to be above General Graham. The trouble with General Graham is that he mistakes his position. Because he chances to be intrenched behind a small military force, over which he possesses absolute power to com- mand, he indulges in the pleasing belief that his statements Tespecting the strikers of last year and the men who recently met to protest against his cowardly and slanderous inscrip- tion, are adjudicatory and final in their char- acter, and, like the “laws of the Medes and Persians, cannot be altered” by the power even of the sovereign people. Being only a military servant of the people, he aspires to quasi-judicial powers and apes the prerogatives of a judge. That is ambitious on his Jpart, it is true, but it is not warranted by the position he holds, the manner in which he is recompensed and the nature of republi- can institutions as established in the American system. ylt is clearly understood by the powers that be in this country—or, if it is not, it ought to be—that the administering of governmentis done through three co-ordinate branches, each having special prerogatives and each being well defined and limited in its scope of power. General Graham belon to the executive ‘branch and not to the judicial, ana though he may have the right to accuse he has not the power to adjndge. ‘That inscription went further than a mere accusation—it is a charge, in writing, to the highest tribunal of the land, the people, and would stand asa judgment in default were it not contradicted and protested against by the ones he so_wantonly accuses of murder.” Our mass-meeting, therefore, was merely for the purpose of contradicting that_slander and pro- testing against his action, and as a result the meeting voiced a demand to General Graham for the removal of the inscription. Is such treason? Isay thatit was our right,and not onty that but our duty to take the action we aid. President Marlatt’s ideas were similar to those of Mr. Knox, He said: The Colonel evidently fancies himself as ossessing the same powers as the Emperor of ?{uuh. e is a little Czar out there at the Presidio, and forgets that his relations toward the people of this country and his soldiers are very much different. It was one Pilate of old who said, “What I have written I have written,” and General Gra- ham feels about as important and authorita- tive as the said Pilate did. I do not know whether Pilate went quite so far as to charge his importunists with treason. Said C. E. Crandall: There isone thing that we can say and that 1s that we are about all of us natives of this country, which is more than can be said for the soldfers of the United States Army. I never committed treason or murder. And Richard Parker, a Sacramento striker, said: I'd like him to say it was treason to my face. I belong to & number of orders that will not tolerate treason. TROUT-FISHING IN SHASTA. C. B. Porter Returns From an Outing in That County. C. B. Porter, who returned on Saturday from a month’s outing in Shasta County, isloud in his praises of the abundance of sport to be found in the eastern portion of that county. In speaking of the pleasures ;njoy_edd during his outing in that section e said: “There may be equally as good trout-fish- ingin other sections of the country, but if so I have never been able to find it. I found a number of well-nigh vi streams in which it was most delightful to cast the fly. ’;'Thahout are not large, but they are He ran unsighted nearly across the field and finally, seeing the hare, flew past Flashlight” and turning the hare made a neat kill, winning “in a walk.” The rune ning was generally good.

When it is known that the life of the nerves L . originates in electricity, and that impure, stagnant blood, whichcauses rheumatic afflice tions, comes from the weak action of the nerves, it then becomes evident that all bodily pain can be removed by a constant infusion of the electric current into the body.
