How the Community Has Sprung Up to Great Power in the United States. The Paulists had a special service yester- day. It was in commemoration of the | conversion of Saint Paunl, who is th patron of this community of priests. The historical old church on Califor- nia street was thronged with people at the | solemn high mass, which was celebrated | at 10:30 o'clock. Hundreds were obliged | to stand in the aisles of the church. The services were impressive and the altar decorations beautiful. Special music was provided. The celebrant of the mass | was Rev. Father A. M. Clark, C. 8, P.; deacon, Rev. Father E. Gente, 8. M., pastor of the French Church; sub-deacon, Rev. Father Wyman. Rev. Father Ous 'Wwas master of ceremonies, The other clergymen present included the Rev. P. Yorke., chancellor of the arch- diocese of Ban Francisco; Rev. Father | | Allen, 8.

Father Ed- | mund of the Francisean Fathers, Rev, | | i Father Brennan of St. Patrick’s Church, Rey. Father Byrne of St. Mary's Cathedral, and Rev. Father O’'Ryan, editor of the | Monitor. | The Paulist Fathers have made great | progress since taking charge of old St | | pure humanity, to consider. He went on his way and never took time to consider what motives animated the youthful Stephen. Paul never imagined that'the law of which he was such a stanch supporter had passed away; he never dreamed ‘where the full truth lay. And so though hon- est and sincere he persecuted that which he knew nothing ebout. His errors were the errors of a misguided intellect. So, too, are there many people who think harshty about the Catholic Chureh without knowing what she teaches, There are mtany people, honest- minded, who would shuagder at the idea of be- coming Catholics, and yet would not willfully offend God. Remember thatSaul abhorred the very name of Christ because he did not know what it meant. But when divine revelation taught him the full truth see how eagerly he embreced it. He needed but light. He had but to know the truth and the truth and light revolutionized his career. He was no longer the fierce perse- cutor; he became the apostle whose heart burned with the desire of preaching that truth, because he knew by his own experience that were it only known milliens would be won by it. Examples of St. Paul are numerous in every age, but in modern times and in our own coun- try there is no more glorious example than the men who founded the Congregation of St. Pauland the members of that congregation, It was founded by Isaac Hecker, who had to fight his way into the church. He was con- erted by no'such miracle as St. Paul. In younger days the little faith he had was Imost shattered, but he was honest, sincere, sympathotic. He was & grand specimen of 0 He was groping in darkness anxious for truth, yearning to find a solution for life’s riddle, and could not solve it. Finally this man, sincere and honest, seeking nothing but the truth end the whole truth, began to study the dootrines of the Catholic church, | And when the truth possessed in full by the old church burst on him he followed the example of 8t, Paul and immediately embraced.it. Like St. Paul, he lived for nothing but the truth, He saw the necd of spreading it, of teaching the outside world. He saw the field ripe for the harvest. He had a greater missionary field open before him than St. Panl himself. Among the millions of his fellow-country- men—and heand his could teach them best, becguse from experience they knew how diffi- oult it is to leave the faith of one's fathers, to see all the traditions which brighten child- hood’s dreams shattered. And the.big sympa- thetic heart of Father lsaac Hecker burne spread the truths of the Catholie church, As St. Paul's bitterest anxiety was for_his own Srace—the race of Israel—his own dear people, whose glories were before his imagina- tion and in his affections from childh race which had the promises, thrown them aw; 0, 100, were Isaac Hecker and his followers filled with the desire to spread the truth among the people they had And when ne came 1o find a name for s congregation there was none more suitable than that of the apostle of the Geutlles.

Brown will appear before a mild courtw! inquiry this evening, Owing to his almost complete recovery money was to aid in the conviction of blackmailers and extortionists.” = ‘What view is the committee likely to take of Dr. Brown’s permitting Mrs. Stock- ton to remain in the church aiter he knew her true character?” 5 “I trust a Christian and charitable one, said Dr. Williams. “Itis no easy matter, nor is it always well for the church, to prefer charges and bring about a pubiic trial of a member. Ithas been my pain- ful duty to drop the names of one or two persons from the church roll during my ministry. I prevented a church trial by calling with ‘two of my deacons on the suspected person, and if assured that he or she intended to continue in the opposite of a course of rectitude, to see that we were voluntarily authorized to quietly drop the name from the roll.” “Why did not Dr. Brown adopt such a method 2" i *Our methods differ. That is all.” Commenting upon Mrs. Stockton, Dr. Williams said: “Any woman can ruin any man’s reputation. Itis well to avoid antagonizing an unprincipled woman. bave labored most of my life for the up- lifting of humanity, yet I believe there are some remnants of humanity that are hardly worth the saving, Perhaps Mrs. Rev. Father Ryan as He Preached Yesterday at the Special Services Held in Honor of St. Paul at Old | St. Mary’s Church on California Street, Mary’s Church at the request of Arch- | bishop Riordan a little more than a year ago. They are all American priests, and are imbued with the idea of converting the whole American people to the Catholie in- terpretation of Christianity. The founder | of the community was reared in the Prot- | estant faith, the faith of his fathers for generations back. In the course of time other Protestants, ministers of high rank in the church, ln{- men, men with professions, men of wealth, | all went over to Rome and began an intel- | lectual crusade against the behiefs which they left behind. Thus the society has | grown 10 be quite a power in the American | Catholic church. The members are men | of deep learning, men of ideas. broad- | minded, brilliant, progressive. They are | banded together for a common purpose and work for a common end. The Paulists have two houses in the United States—one in San Francisco and the other in New York. Their success here has been sudden, substantial, lasting. Father O'Ryan preached his first ser- mon in San Francisco at St. Mary's | Church yesterday. He is quite a pleasing | talker. He was educated at the Catholic University at washington, D. C,, and is | one of the promising young men of the | riesthood in California. Father O’Ryan, esides being an orator, is an easy and graceful writer. His discourse yesterday was on the “Conversion of St. Paul.” In his opening sentences the preacher 'Enke of the splendid results that attended the conversion of St. Paul to Christianity. He reviewed his far-reaching influence on the civilization of the world; his mission- ary labors; the jpriceless literature he left to mankind ; how he became a rabbi, Saia the speaker: The one great aim ofst. Paul was to lead the gentile world into the church. But his heart was rent because of the obstinacy of the seed of Abraham—now he is the David of that race in his paternal care and the Jercmias in his lamentations. Every great city in the East he visited—Antioch, Ephesus, Athens, Corinth— until & divine destiny led him to Rome, where he consummated his life sacrifice. Being a Roman citizen he was accorded the privilege, if privilege it could be called, of dying by the sword. His conversion was thorough and- so thorough that the remainder of his life was entirely devoted to the work of Christ. In Paul we see the real power of Christianity and of diyine grace. His nstural good quali- tios remained, but theg’ were elevated, en- nobled, sanctified. He lived but for one object and forthat he died. There was no harking back; no donbt on hismind. He was & Chris- tian out énd out. How different was that life { {from ours who have been brought up in the truth, But for those ontside our church there are wonderful Jessons to be learned. While St. Paul was still an enemy of the church he was novle work, a grand work is this—the work of &t. Paul. The Paulists only ask to be heard. Their only desi is tospread the truth. And through the length and breadth of this golden coast have they gone on their work of merey. Why should we fear the truth? Why should the truth be hid? If the full truth be in the Catholic | Church, why not hold it_up before the world? The triumph of truth is the triumph of reason, and the triumph of reason is the glorious crown of civilization. As Christianity had Hotbing ta fear but everything to gain from the public preaching of St. Paul, 50, too, has the Catholic Church everything to hope from an intelligent presentation of its doctrines. We have noth- ing to hide, nothing to conceal. This is the | mission of the Paulist Fathers—to spread the | truth. And on this feast day of their glorious patronlet us pray that God may bless their work. Letus pray that we all may stand firm in the peth, as St. Paul did, that the cry of every one might be, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” PLANS FOR THE ARMORY. Suggestions for Alterations in the Building on Market Street. The trouble which has arisen in the new San Francisco regiment over the choice of an armory for the surviving companies of the former regiments gives promise of early settlement, and there 1s considerable likelihood that the companies, exclusive of the “Nationals,” may be domicilea in the building on the corner of Market and Tenth streets. Captain George Filmer, the commanding officer of Company B, bas submitted to Colonel Macdonald a plan of this armory, with suggestions for extensive alterations, which, if acted upon, would make the place large enough for the entire com- mand. The building was formerly the home of the old First Infantry and was erected for regimental quarters originally. All of the company rooms are sufficintly large for ordinary purposes, and are well arranged on thetwo floors along the Market-street front of the structure. Captain Filmer's principal suggestion as to alterations is that an additional drill floor be built directly over the one now used, and about on a line with the present galleries. The great height of the ceiling would easily permit of such an arrange- ment, and if the plan be adopted the com- panies located in rooms on the upper floor will have an immense drill hall, spreading from side to side of the building and from the rear wall right to the entrance to their quarters. The companies below will then led by biind fanaticism. He never took time bave exclusive use of the present hail, from recent indisposition the plan of hold- ing the sessions of the committee at Ply- | mouth Church has been changed and the } pastor’s study, or office, at the First Con- gregational Church will be the scene of i the investigation. Plymouth Church is | but a block from Dr. Brown’s home and the offer of the use of that church was made by its courteous pastor in considera- | tion of the ill health of the man on trial. Now that heis well the committee con- sults its own convenience in returning to the former place of meeting. In case it | continues to hold meetings, which does | not seem probable to most of the members, the sessions will be at the First Church. Professor Lloyd conducted services at the ill-starred church at the corner of Post and Mason streets yesterday afternoon and evening. No memberof the Brown family was present at eitber of the services, Dr. Brown will make his statement of the case this evening, and, whether it im- presses the committee favorably or not, the Teading of that statement, it is predicted, will be followed by a motion to refer the matter to the First Church, with the ad- vice that it call a council of Congregational churches immediately. Members of the committee as well as of the church are of the opinion that a council of the churches Will serve the same and a broader purpose in that while investigating Dr, Brown's ministerial standing it includes his stand- ing as a member of the church, of which latter consideration only the First Church could take cognizance. . Rev. Dr, W.'D. Williams is known to he in possession of information which will be valuable in the case, which was fur- nished him presumably By Dr. Brown and is as yet a sealed book to other members of the committee of investigation. What this is he refuses to say but acknowledges that it is of such a nature as to.brighten the prospects of exoneration of the sus- pected preacher. 4 . "It will brighten them,”” he said reflect- ively, “but whether the brightnen of the noonday sun is a question, depending for its answer upon the varying views of the individnal members of the committee.” ““What proof would satisfy the commit- tee that Or, Brown is innocent?’ asked a CALL reporter. i “First, that the references in Miss Over- man's letters can be explained by other circumstances than a viclation of the seventh commandment. Certain other letters of hers may prove this. Second, that it shall be shown that Mrs. M. A. Stockton’s character is such that her testi- mony cannot be accepted. Third, that Dr, | Brown’s purpose in paying those sums of | eration by the committee, Dr. Williams Stockton is such a woman. The word of a person living in sin can hardly be taken as credible by a body of persons of in- tegrity.” Dr."Williams pronouncea Dr. Brown's course in keeping Miss Overman under his | roof throughout the trouble, “Not pru-| dent, but lofty.” ‘I scarcely think I could rise to that beigat myself,” he remarked. “I would in ad probability ask some friend to shel- ter the girl, were I attacked as Dr. Brown has been. Yet I consider the aspersions cast upon him for that course as unjust.’” Concerning Dr. Brown's probable exon- | said: “Iam aware that a mass of the peo- ple of San Francisco believe Dr. Brown to be guilty. One element of this opposition | will never believe him innocent. It is of that order of humanity that rejoices in seeing the strong fall, even if it be John L. Suliivan. There is another element that | can be convinced. “The public may be assured we will be | guided by conoscience, Personaily, I| would give up my place and influence in this City to see Dr. Brown cleared of these charges. But Congregationalism and the cause of Christ must and will be considered.” ———— LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN. Rev. Dr. W. D. Williams Speaks of Frallties and Triumphs. Rev. Dr. W. D. Williams preached at | Plymouth Church yesterday morning from the text, ‘“Wherefore in all things it be- hooved him to be made like unto his brethren; for in that he himself hath suf- sfered; being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.” Dr. Williams said: The temptation of Jesus introduces the ques- tion of his peccability. In the middle ages theologians, as theologians sometimes do, wasted much valusble time in beated discus- sion about the ability of Christ to commit sin. All agreed that he had power not to sin. The latter is the power humanity needs. Ability to sin is common enough. It doesn’t require much power to commit sin. It is divine to live without sin. It is hard to say an agreeable thing. It is easier to say a disagreeable thing. Jesus was led up of the spirit into the wilderness, not re- Inctantly like & victim in the train of the con- queror, but allured by the spirit of truth and holiness, Mark says: “And 1mmedh.el; the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.” He was driven only as & ahi}) with canvas un- foided and filled with a favoring breeze is driven in her rightful course, responsive to the helm. Divine power does not break or destrog_. It only bends and directs the human will. Temptation strikes each individual in a different place. All is not gold thatglitters, but all gold does not glitter. If the untempted still shine it may be that those who do not shine if test¢d and proven would shine as gold purified with fire. There are but few fast colors in human ex) rience. The dyes thatseem so bright to-day may wash out to-morrow. Many persons whose hearts were right haye been perplexed when tempted because their heads were wrong. It is because the devil looks so much like an angel that he is so much 1o be feared. There is not one person who tries to live @ true life but is painfully con- scious that life is & struggle. Let us walk firmly, for strange paths untrod lie before us all. us_walk straightly, forgetting the crooked paths behind, and ‘pressing on with steadier purpose on our brow to accomplish better deeds. 3 The tempted Christian is infinitely better off than the untempted sinner. The latteris in- sensible to temptation because moraily dead. The former is quickly sensitive because morelly alive. Chrnst’s victory is a source of encouragement to us. When Corregio first saw the unrivaled creation of Raphael he raptu- rously exclaimed: “Ialso am & painter.” The =uccess of Raphael carried inspiration to his soul. Since Christ was human and overcame temptation we may be inspired to say: “We, also, are men.” What Christ did we may hope 10 do if filled with his spirit. e Editor Calkins’ Ambition. Leonard S. Calkins, editor and one of the proprietors of the Nevada City Daily Tran- seript, who for the past four years has been postmaster at Nevada City, is being pushed forward by his friends for the Republican nomination for State Senator from Nevada, .0 | ciary and 242 non-beneficiary. B'NAI B'RITH CORVENTIOH, Annual Session of the Grand Lodge of the Pacific District. RETIRING OFFICERS REPORT. Important Recommendations In Re- gard to Financial Concerns of the Order. The thirty-third annual session of the District Grand Lodge, No. 4, 1. 0. B. B,, convened in B’'nai B’rith Hall yesterday forenoon. This district embraces all the Pacific States and Territories, and so wide- spread is the interest felt in this session that scarcely a lodge is unrepresented. After the routine opening business, Grand President Abrabam Jonas read his annual report. After treating of the gen- eral satisfactory condition of the order the report contained a number of important recommendations. The Youths’ Auxiliary was highly indorsed and the members of the parent lodge were urged to visit the euxiliaries frequently and to do all in their power to aid and encourage them. It was also suggested that the youths be com- compelled to cease their connection with auxiliaries upon reaching the age of 21 in order to join the regular B'nai B'rith. The reports of several minor committees which had reported to the grand president were approved. The action of the board of hall directors in removing the iree school from the B’nai B'rith building was deplored, as the extra expense thus in- curred made it impossible to continue the school. The Grand Lodge owns a ma- jority of the stock in the building, and the president recommends that some way be provided by which their wishes may be respected, 22 Sh he principal subject of discussion in the report is the proposed change in the endowment plan, The order at present pays $2000 to the beneficiaries of deceased members. It has become an agitated question as to whether the order will be able to stand this in the future, and a committee appointed at the last session rendered a report recommending that in- stead of the present uniform assessments, the members be assessed on a graduating scale according to age. The presidert’s report does not touch on this feature of the endowment, but it re- quests immediate consideration of the question. It does, hawever, recommend optional endowment for single or married men; that members be allowed to leave one-half of their endowmentto whom they rlease, and that members aver 70 years of age be exempt from assessments, the lodge aying tnem and deducting the amount From their endowments. There are a number of minor recom- mendations, such as that the bond of the treasurer be reduced from $7500 to $5000, that the fee for charters for new lodges be reduced from $30 o $25, that the individual lodges levy a per capita tax to be used in San Francisco for the library and in other places for like objects or public gatherings in the interest of the order. The report concludes with an account of the visits the grand president has made to various lodges during the year. The report of Grand Secretary Jacob Levison shows that there are now thirty- three B’nai B'rith lodges in the district and three youths’ auxiliaries. This repre- sents a total membership of 2213 benefi- The finan- cial portion of the report shows the bal- ance in the treasury to be $1403 71. This | is exclusive of the widow and orphan ben | ficiary fund, which atJ\rasent is $127,435 32. The averaze age of decedents of the past year was 57 years, 8 months and 12 days. The average duration of membership was over twenty-three years. The report of Grand Treasurer Julius Platshek tallied exactly with the financial portion of the preceding report. Both were referred to a committee consisting of N. W. Bender, William Lewis and H. Black. 8. H. Schocker, Simon Hochstadter and Benjamin Harris submitted a report as | trustees showing the general financial condition of the%}rand odge. Benjamin Harris also submitted a minority report of matters upon which he asserts he had not been advised by the other trustees, Both reports were submitted to a committee consisting of H. P. Bush, F. Sperling, L. Levy, J. Rothschild, S. Zekind and L. Bernstein. Reports of the committees on laws, legislation and intellectual improve- ment werealso read and referred to com- mittees. The committee on library urged that more encouragement be given that feature. The board of relief, through its president, Arthur M. Plato, suggested that its means and scope be extended. The session adjourned at 6 o’clock until 8 o’clock, when a discussion of the report was had. b The evening session was entirely de- voted to a discussion of the proposed changes in the endowment pian. No conclusion was reached and the con- vention adjourned tili to-day at 2 », M. THE THEATERS. Attractions That the Managers Have to Offer to Their Patrons This Evening. “In Old Kentucky” will be presented at the California to-night, and this will be the first night of the second week of its presentation. The play has drawn well, and there will no doubt be a crowded house this evening. The Frawley Company will this evening offer at the Columbia Theater “Men and Women,’' the joint production of De Mille and Belasco. The play is some- what of the sensational order, and it has many scenes to it to arouse an extra- ordinary interest. “A Canting Scoundrel” is on the bill at Grover’s Alcazar for this evening. Itisa local prod uction, and the plot is based on the old saying of “Stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.” It is said that the playwright has produced an in- teresting play. At the Grand Opera-house this evening there will be presented an American comedy drama entitled “The Editor,” written by Louis Aldrich and Charles Vincent. It was originally produced at Palmer's Theater, New York, and was a success. After running five weeks to crowded houses “Ixion, or The Man of the Wheel,”" is still on at the Tivoli Opera-house and to-night the third edition of the produc- tion will be given. This combination of song and dialogue will be offered with new features. ‘The great drawing card at the Orpheum Music Hall is the colored mnightingale, Rachel Walker, whose wonderful notes have captured the patrons of this house. Sierra and Plumas counties. Calkins is a oung man, a native son and a stanch Repub- chln, and through his newspaper affiliations is probably one of the best known men in his section, and his popularity is unquestioned. e Charged With Burglary. Fred Rosenbrock, & painter, was arrested yesterday by Officer Maguire and charged with burglary. Rosenbrock was seen to enter a house on Twentieth avenue and California street while the family was away. The officer saw the painter leaving the house, and placed him under arrest. An examination of ‘the remises showed that all the drawers and l gflxnks had been carefully overhauled by the intruder, who failed to find anything of value to ca “"{E. ‘When arrested he pretended to be very drun: She will appear to-night, as will also a number of artists in the specialty line, THE BOYS WERE SAD. Rains Descended and the Winds Blew, and So the Balloon Did Not Go Up. There was disappointment yesterday afternoon in the hearts of the small boys at the neighborhood of Castro and Eight- eenth streets. The wind blew and the rain fell, but the balloon aid not go up. An ascension was billed by the Edmund brothers for 3 o’clock in the large vacant lot on Nineteenth street, between Castra and Hartford, and all the boys for blocks around went to bed Saturday night with parachutes in their heads. The rain spoiled everything, so the boys congregated in the doorways and under the awnings of the corner grocery-stores and talked about the last time the balloon did go up. “Did you see how that parachute came down? "Ah, the wooden man on the bar touched the ground just like a feather comin’ down.’” “Wasn’t she a beaut, though—went pretty near out o’ sight, didn’t she, fatty ?” ‘“‘Out o' sight? She must be gone a thou- sand feet!” But the pleasure of the boys was entirely reminiscent, for in the wetness of the lweather it was impossible ta inflate the bal- oon. NEW TO-DAY‘AMUSEME_NTS.
