THE FLOCK IS NOT RICH. Fourth Congregational Church, Organized Thirty Years Ago. HAS TAKEN NEW DEPARTURES. Ap Optimistic Sermon Preached by | the New Pastor, Rev. Frederick Flawith. The Fourth Congregational Church is a ! little old-fashioned building, situated on Green street, near ckton. Though small and unpretentious, however, it cold and unsacrificing. To know this you are simply to inquire what is the most im¥m’(nm. motive that sways our votes, our gifts and directs our labors in the church of the living Christ. This is organized relizious selfishness, We may not be profane in music, we may not be herctical in doctrine, but inlije’s service we mey be worse than all that. YetIhave im- plicit faith in the leaven which has leavened the wholelump. The ascendant Christ is using his church and blessing her. ‘The summer will come, though we are being visited by storms and atmospheric disturb- ances. God's purpose is to bless the church, ““Aruugll every individual man aud woman of 1t The fullness of Christ in all things means the completion and transformation of human life. The purpose of creation is not down but upward. The development of civilization 1s ouly the progress and growth of the child life in the world. Already the golden rule is becoming the center of government. You may doubt this, butif you believe in progress, you must be- lieve in Christianity. The process may be slow, the journey may be long, but the time is slowly coming when the governments of the earth will be truly those of righteous. Iseiah saw this truth; you remember bow he drew the picture of animalg that represent destroying tendencies, the lion, the bear, the wolf.” And then compared to these he give us the emblems of innocence and u}s;l-lr&nnaas, the calf, the kid and the innocent child. In all these symbols the prophet shows us in a few words what the world's lie is, and then with one macterly siweep of the brush be gives us the grand Inspiring picture of what is to be; violence, cruelty and the spirit of siniul dis’ tinction have become no more, not by force, but by the love of purity and innocence which mean the very thought and emotion of life in mankind Ah! to-day our religion may be 2 burden; righteousness may be a yoke, grievous to be borne, but it wants no siretcil of faith to reaiize that the day is coming when our religion will be our breath and our speech will be only an act of worship. What will be the agencies aund processes of the mighty revolution? In the first place God will specially favor the Instrumentality of those in true fellowship with his epirit. In the next place he 18 controlling, and will con- trol, direetly and indirectly, all and’ institutions of men.

THEIR CREWS IN QUARANTINE, Mate Ferguson of the Aureola Arrestcd on East Street for Furious Driving, The British ship Fanny Kerr arrived from Newcastle, N. 8.

F.-Flawith, it is beginning to m ake itself { felt as a power in Congregational church circles. . < The Fourth Church was organized just | thirty vears ago, and during its existence it has been the spiritual birthplace of a large number of active church-workers, many of whom have gone out into other fields and have made a record for them- | selves. There has been very little pew- | cushioned Christianity about the Fourth Church, its people do not connt million- aires among their ranks, and they have no aspirations toward moving into a new and fashionable locality. % : The community ronnd which the lifo of the Fourth Church centers is more or less a fluctuating one and just at present active workers are in demand. There is an ardent band of church members, about 140 in all, but most of them haye their time very fully occupied with business or house avocations, as people of elegant leisure are rare in the congregation. La- dies with timeat their disposal are espe- cially in demand as church workers. One feature of the Fourth Congrega. tional Church is the active share which the men ‘of the parish take in church work, Last summer Rev. F. Flawith was calleq to succeed Rev. H. H. Wykoff. Soon after the new pastor’s advent a men’s leagne for practical work among the poor and sick was organized. It is difficuls to get the members to talk much about the league as "h'f say it is only doingits dutyina humble way and has not yet made a' long enougb record to be worth discussing. 1In spite of this reticence, however, there are many :ick and Eoor in North Beach who can tell a good deal about want re- licved and medical attendunce furnished gratis by the Men’s League of the Fourth Congregational Church during the past six months. Practical work, indeed, is the watchword of the church just at ‘pres- ent, the doctrine of “‘Bear ye one another’s burdens” being continually before the con- gregation. Itisonlyin a modest way that the members are trying to alleviafe the ‘goveuy and distress of the community, ut they have taken hold with a will and are doing some splendidly unselfish work. The Sunday-school, under Superintend- ent John Hateb, is in a flourishing condi- | tion, and the Ladies’ Aid Sociery is an- other pillar of the church, It is only two months since Rev. F. Flawith accepted a permanent call to the church. Prominent among his predeces- sors may be mentioned Rev. Dr. Lane. The recent departure of the Men's League along practical lines has aroused a good deal of interest in North -Beach, and the attendance at the services is increasing in numbers. Rev, F. Flawith preached to a large congregation vesterday evening from the text taken from the first chapter of Ephesians, “And hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body and the fullness of him, that filleth all'in all.” The preacher said: The apostle is optimistic with .respect to the usefulness and future of the Christian church. He was fully assured of 1ts certain triumphs and glorious resuits; he felt that the world s not lost, though it is in sin, It is the genuis of Christian principle and truth to purify or destroy whatever it 2omes in contact with. Human fellowships, which compose the churches, are as much under this eternal law as everythiug else, It ought not to be & surprise. When we look over ecclesias- tical history and find thut disturbances end unrest frequently follow in the wake of the church’s progresst; it is rather & sign of on- oing, lnl‘"o‘l l&fl d:wn‘hhi. fall upward. e mission e church is not a slee; alliance with the world. oid Tne supremacy of Christ on earth is not through the power of politics and corpora- tions. The church ¥ro&er of which Chrigt is the head and which is to fill all things, is the fellowship of kumanity influenced and quick- ened ir soul apd mind by his spirit and life just as the body is influenced by the brain. In our want of faith we dcubt the possibility of success to any such a ll)lrlt over the world. We look at what we boastingly call clivijization and find it to be very little 'more than burn- burbarism, ligion s weighted by the selfishness, big- anaticlsm, cowardice and meanness of gious people. She is wounded in the house of her friends. The world looks upon the church as her worst of foes, yet the church is 1o reign over ail things by the power of divine love. She faces perpetual opposition and per- secution. She comes forth out of the eges of strife with torn hands and bleeding feet.

How often has God put down his hand and twisted tue most seifish plan into the most beneficial resuits! Tammany owns New York much less then we think it does, and the Solid Eight may have their momentary spasms of delight in their despotism over San Francisco; but as sure as the days go by the Lord will hold them in derision, and manipulate their best-devised plans so that st last both they and all machinery of iniquity will bresk up ¢ this awful sluggishness of thralldom. There will come out of italla true revival of faith, trust and service. The curtain is being drawn back and a flood of heavenly light will reveal to us how the rich and the poor may live together in the true spirit of their brotherhood. Perhaps this way or that way, but surely it is coming to make the most trivial life "solemn, the most gloomy life rich and beautiful, With courage and hope let us view the nro- cess by which the race is rising up more and more unto the spirit and likeness of Him who is to be the head of all things to the church. Let us take warning from the past and inspira- tion for the future perfect day when Christ shall have filled all with Himself. MONDAY NIGHT SHOWS.

Fred Ferguson, chief ofticer of the American bark Aureola, descended the gang plank of his vessel at Center street yesterday singing the ahove song. Half an hour later he was not tripping é on the guey, but he was driving acouple of young amsels at a furious rate along Howard street. A mounted policeman gave chase and an exciting race to the wuter front ensued. At thecorner of Eastand Howard, Ferguson collided with a cable-car, and during the pause that followed, Officer Cisham secured his man and took him to the Harbor Police Station, where he was charged with “furiousdriving.” The girls were aliowed to go home and the horse and buggy were sent back to the stable. Atalate hour in the afternoon Ferguson was still singing away in his cell, “There was sweet-eyed Margaret and trim-set Ball, and sweet Kitty from the north countree.” James McDougal and his wife of Oak- land had an experience 1n the bay yester- day that they are not likely to forget in a hurry. They started from long wharf in a rowboat to visit the coast defense vessel Monterey. When in midchannel the wash from the ferry steamer Bay City caused the little craft to roll a great deal and Mrs, Mcoougal in her terror threw herself against the rail and overturned the boat. " Luckily there were two White- hall boats in the vicinity and both the people were rescued in ‘afew minutes. Mrs, McDougal was far more calm and self-possessed in the water than she had been in the boat and did not makea struggle while being hauled into the Whitehall, The %\l)lihility of the general public was nr:&fly llustrated on the water front yes- terday.

It was impossible to tell whether it was a ship or bark, as the rigging had been burncd away. His vessel stood by for twenty-four hours, but he saw no sign of life about the burning craft. The crew had evidently left the vessel. The vessel is supposed to be the British ship Nineveh, which sailed from Vancouver January 17 for Sydney, Australia. SPUR TRACK T0 COME UP The Southern Pacific Admits It Has No Right to Maintain It in the Park. Contributions of Rare Specimens From the Straits Settlement to the Museum. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has, through Charles I. Crocker, its first vice-president, announced that it jhas no right to maintain t' e spur track in Golden Gate Park, or to operate cars thereon, as will be noticed by reading the following copy of a letter received last week by the vresident of the Board of Park Commis- sioners: SAN Fraxncisco. January 28, 1896. Mr. Joseph Austin, President of ‘the Board of Golden Gate Park . Commissioners—DEAR SIR: The Southern Pucific Company is desirous of discontinuing the hauling of street sweepings to the park, also the hauling of loam and sand to and from the B‘"k' and as Soon as arranges ments with tue Park Commissioners has been made for discontinuing this service as above, it will take up al! tracks for which it does not claim to own a right of way, or does not bave a right to operate. (7 Please injorm me of the earliest date when this arrangement can be made to go into etfect. Yours, very truly, CHARLES F. CROCKER. To this communication a reply in the following words was sent: Mr. Charles F. Crocker—DEAR S1R: Your com- munication, dated January 28, 1896, notifying the Park Commissioners of your intention of discontinuing the hauling of loam and street sweepings to the park has been received. We regret very much that your company can- not continue this work, as the loam and sweep- ings are what our park most needs. We take this opportunity of thanking your company for allmun% the spur track to remain during the past twelve months, as it hasen- abled us to tertilize large spaces of park land that otherwise could not have been improved except at very great expense. 1 bad hoped that the track could remain un- disturbed atleast another year, or until there had been delivered to the park at least 50,000 yards more. But siace you determine to take up the track we will be ready for discontinuance Feb: ary, 1. Respectiully, " President Bourd of Park Commissioners. “That,” said Superintendent McLaren, “is the end of the spur track about which so much has been said. In a short time it will be taken up, and we shall have to make some other arrangements to have the street sweepings hauled out here, that is, if we can. 1 shall call upon the officers of the Street Department and the officers of the Merchants’ Association to ascertain what can be done. It is possible that spe- cial carts can be built and the sweepings taken to the park instead of taking them to the City dumps,” “I am sorry that the tracks are to be taken up,” said President Austin, ‘‘for we need considerable of this material for park purposes.” The new bicycle track has been graded, and by reason’ of this work being corn- pleted and the fact that there is no more loam to be handied, the Commissioners have decreased the working force in the park to the number of sixty, including iwenty-five men with teams. Other work is being pushed forward rapidly, and in a short time the force may be still further reduced. The fine weatherof yesterday drew thou- sands ugon thousands of peoble to the park. The band, which for two Sundays had not been heard, was greeted by an im- mense audience that enjoyed the pleasing and artistic selections rendered, and gave rmof of its appreciation by frequent and oud applause. The walks were crowded with promenaders and the drives were also crowded with people in vehicles, equestrians and wheelmen ®and wheel- women, all wearing pleasant smiles and evidently happy to be out in the warm sunshine, The amount of work that had been re- cently done on the site of the Midwinter Fair graad court is manifest. It has been so much altered that but little remains to remind visitors of what it was. What remains of the electric tower will be so/d by the Sheriff on I'hursday for the venefit of whom it may concern, and the sale will be with the understanding that the broken iron must be removed within a week. To-day work will be commenced on the tunnel that will' be built under the main drive. The walls of the addition to the museum are up to their height, and are now ready to receive the roof timbers. The museum has received from the museum of Lelungor in the Straits Settlement a hundred nb{ects for the purpose of placing on exhibition, some of which are extremely rare, Among the iot are specimens of the bamboo rat, a civet cat, boa constrictor. bear mink, Ma- layan creslea quail, dwarf beron, large reen pigeons and Kkingfishers. Professor greuber. who has charge of the classifica- tion of birds, animals and shells, has re- ceived and placed in the cases a number of stufred humming birds, the finest collec- tion ever exhibited in this City. WEARS WESLEY'S MANTLE. Rev. William Rade; Views of Whit- field and Wesley. Rev. Wilbam Rader’s theme at the Third Congregational Church last evening was ‘“‘John Wealey and the Reign of the Common People.” Mr. Rader said: The eighteenth century movement, like the Reformation, was made necessary by the de- cline of religion. John Wesley did not aim to organize a new church, but to” reform the old. Euglish morals were bad. Hannah More wrote; “She saw but one Bible in the parish of Cheddor, and that was used to prop a flower ot.” Wesley -Ppenred at & time when great hings were faking place in the world, Dur- 1ing his lifetime Addison and Reynolds, Wasn- ington and Naioleon lived; the steam engine came, and Cook circumnavigated the globe. The Oxford Club awakened Great Britain find lnmdled dfl” evangelists in Georgia and ew England. Whitfield, the greatest preacher of his day, was & member of this club. He believed in redestination. Wesley did not. He touched ‘ew England congregationalism with his Cal- vinism and carried his divine fire to 1the Puri- tans. It is said that his voice was heard across the Delaware when speaking in Philedelphia. He sleeps beneath the old church in Newbury- rt, Mass. Wesley was converted under the Pifitience of Motavian missionaries, - who tau‘ll:,z him the fundamental doctrines of his theology. Methodism has outstripped Calvinism. One emphasizes God, the other man. lethodism awakened the people and touched the scholastic thought of the eighteenth cen- tury with emotion, It reached the masses, and the story of its career is full of dramatic interest. Itis my opinion that General Booth, more than_any other living man, bears the mantle of Wesley and Whitfield, B A Disastrous Spree, William Murphy, & lsborer living af 521 Minna street, fell down yesterday morning while under the influence of liquor and broke hisright leg.

ARMY ENGINEERS ON DUTY. The Lime Point Battery—Thirteen-Inch Guns of the Battle-Ship Oregon. Brigadier-General James W. Korsyth, commanding the Department of California, has just transmitted to the Adjutant- General of the United States Army a re- port supplementary to the annnal de- partmental report forwarded last Septem- ber. The subplementis a volume of 154 printed pages and minutely describes the practice marches and field maneuvering of the troops last summer. The report sets forth that the different commands—cavalry, artillery and infantry —were marched to and from the camp in- dependently of each other and occupied separate and independent camps while at Monterey. The roster at the end of the report shows what officers and organiza- tions participated in the instruction. In the supplementary report General Forsyth remarks: “No extra expense was incurred through any of these marches or camps, but a number of embarrassing difficulties arose on account of a lack of means, . The amount of mule and wagon transportation allotted to thisdepartmentis not sufficient to move such a command at one time. In future encampments the necessary funds should be allowed to pay for rail trans- portation of heavy baggage and camp equipment, “Good maps, whose military features were not obseured by too many topograph- ical details (an essential preliminary to such instructions) had been prepared of the terrain surrounding Monterey. To as- siet in orientation and to facilitate the preparation of orders as many landmarks were located and named thereon as prac- ticable, Were copies of these maps at- tached hereto, the orders, comments, etc., might be somewhat more intelligible, but it has been found necessary, much to my regret, to omit this feature on account of expense. It is also a source of regret tbat the reports, itineraries and maps submit- ted in connection with the marches, reconnoissances, problems, exercises, etc., are too extensive to admit of publication. “A general description of the exercises could not convey as full and complete an idea of the details of the instruction as can be obtained from the ordersand other pub- lications relating thereto. These are therefore published in appendices hereto in lieu of such a description. “It is believed that the system of field in- struction here outlined is a thoroughly | practical one-—applicable in whole or in | part to smail commands of varying size ard constitution, and to any ordinary mili- tary post or department. I feel that I cannot too urgently com- mend the importance of this class of in- struction to the consideration of superior authority, Nearly all unite in acknowl- edging its importance, but I fear that its degree of practical benefit is fully realized by few outside of those who have had op- portunity to observe it in practice orto participate therein. ‘““All officers and men rendered cheerful and excellent service. I have never bad experience with instruction where greater interest and enthusiasm were displayed or better results achieved,” The United States enginesrs recently ordered to San Francisco are now at their respective stations of duty. Colonel Suter succeeded Colonel Mendell as chief engi- neer on the coast. Major Davis performs the river and harbor work which was under Lientenant-Colonel Benyaurd and the lighthouse duty which Major Heuer per- formed. Captain Gillette takes the river and harbor work which was formerly un- der Major Hener’s supervision. Lieutenant Potter of the engineers, who has been stationed here for some years, is on duty mainly at Lime Point patting in the platiorms of three 12-inch breech-load- ing rifles. The Lime Point battery is on the bluff, 485 feet above the water, and is sure to be a formidable fort, These guns command the approach to the Golden Gate, and no hostile fleel can come in without being a long time under the fire of these guns. The site of the battery isso high that the guns could not be depressed to render effective work on a fleet in the Golden Gate proper, but effective batteries near the water ‘line will command the channel. One of the 12-inch rifles for the Lime Point battery is on the ground and the other two will be shipped from the East next summer. Lieutenant Littebrant, Tenth Cavalry, who recently went before the examining board at the Presidio, has returned to his station. Lieutenant Harry R. Lee, Eleventh In- fantry, arrived last Thursday and reported to the board for examination. Lieutenant Leavell, Twenty-fourth In- fantry, arrived from Arizona last Saturday and will report this week for examination. Mr. Leavell has been on duty as instrustor of the National Guard of Arizona and speaks highly of that organization. The Arizona Guard is not large in point of numbers, but the troops of the command are intelligent, active and progressive. One of the four horses recently poisoned at the Presidjo died last Thursday. The four occupied adjoining stallsand were fed from the same bale of hay. An autopsy disclosed poison in the stomach of the horse, Itissupposed that squirrel poison in the hayfield in some manner got into the bale of hay. The dynamite guns and machinery at the Presidio are carefully guarded” by sentinels. Mr. Watson of the Pneumatic Dynamite Company of New York, who placed toe plant in position asthe agent of the contractors, is still at the battery, and under his direction officers”and en- listed men of the Fifth Artillery ave taught how to handle the apparatus, The ar- tillerymen are making fair progress in this new and important line of military work. The monitor Monterey is in the harbor | of 8an Francisco. The health of Captain Kane has been sufficiently restored to war- rant his return to active duty as the com- mander of the vessel. Two of the thirteen-inch rifled guns of the battle-ship Oregon arein proper posi- tion aboard the ship and tbe remaining two will be placed where they belong within the next thirty days. The battery of eight-inch guns is already in position. At last official accounts the Philadelphia was at Ban Dieso. The crmser, it is said, will not go further south this trip. The Boston by this time is at Honolulu. The Olympia and Charleston are at the Asiatic station. Thrown ¥From Their Buggies.
