THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1896. PE————SESSSSSSR e e e e PRESIDES OVER | | TWO CHURCRES. Rev. Dr. Coombe’s Efforts, in the Cause of 3: Religion. NOTED AS A BUILDER.| Pastor of Richmond and Pierce Street Congregational Churches. WORK OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS | Christian Endeavor Societies and Weekly Prayer Meetings Enjoy Large Membership. | There are two churches in San Francisco that are presided over by one pastor—the | church is a Sunday-school of good attend- ance, which meets at 12:30 P. M. on Sun- days in order not to conflict with the time of Sunday-school at the Richmond church. Through the generosity of Stephen S. Smith, one of the editors of the Pacific, both churches have large and valuable lots clear of all incumbrance. Dr. Loombe, the Eustor of the churches, is an Englishman by birth and was ed cated in his native country for commercial pursuits. Before coming to America he held a position oi trust in the London house of which George Williams, founder of the Young Men’s Christian Association, is president. Coming to America in 1873 he engaged in commercial affairs for six years and was successful in everything he undertook. : In 1879 he entered the Pacific Theologi- cal Seminary of Oakland with the inten- tion of going to Japan as a missionary. At the expiration of turee years’ study he was urgently requested to remain in Cali- fornia. The reverend gentleman’s fi was at Ferndale, Humboldt County, in 1881. For eleven years he remained there, disseminating the truths of the Gospel. He came to San Francisco in 1893 and or- ganized the Richmond Congregational Church in December of that year. The Pierce-street church was not brought into existence till April, 1895. Dr. Coombe’s domestic life is the happiest, surrounded as he is by a devoied wife and six bright childr Dr. Coombe preached on “The Agony of Jesus in Gethsemane’’ at the Richmond Congregational Church last night. He said: “No one who thinks seriously about the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane can do so without being moved in the depth of his inner life; for it brings before us the great- est agony, the deepest sorrow that has ever been recurded in the nistory of our race. sus trod the wine press alone.

SUNDAY dcHuvL. = pastorate | BROWN IN THE PULPIT, He Preaches Morning and Even- ing at the First Congre- gational Church. THE ATTENDANCE NOT LARGE Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and Her Bible Class Hold Forth at the Native Sons’ Hall. The Rev. Dr. Brown preached at both | the morning and evening services at the | First Congregational Cuurch yesterday. | The congregation numbered about four aundred. Dr. Brown selected as the text of the | morning discourse, Mark, chapter 11, verse | 9, “Blessed is he that cometh in the nanie of the Lord.” Unlike his sermon of the Sunday previ- ous, the pastor spoke directly to the sub- ject, not even so much as hinting at the | troubles now surrounding him or which havecome so near to wrecking the First Church. When all else has been said Dr. Brown must be given credit for preaching an eloquent, masterly sermon, with just | eunough of the tearless tremor to impress | those who had not heard him before. In his opening remarks Pastor Brown Sunday [Sketched by a Y Evening . “Call” stoff artist.] 2 large attendance and all took & lively interest in the spiritual discuss ion. The class, which is making an extra effort since leaving the First Congregational Church, hasissuea the following invitation to their friends: You are hereby requested to aitend the insugury- tion exercises of the SARAH B.

Stop at Ninth avenue, south of Golden Gate Park. The class vesterday discussed ‘The Young Ruler.”” Luke xviii:15-30. Many Bible scholars were in the audi- ence, including several clergymen. Visit- ors stopping at the different hotels intro- duced themselves and soon felt at home in the discussion of different points brought out in the lesson. It was agreed that the young ruler lacked the central principle of character. He loved himself and his worldly possessions better than all else. l-}le loved maierial things above spiritual things. “T'o be a Christian,” said Mrs. Cooper, “the spiritual life must dominate the phy- sicai fand secular life. The young ruler wanted spiritual good as a sort of addenda to his earthly possessions. This is evident from the fact that the moment the test came, as to whether he would choose spiritual excellence or tempora! good, he chose the latter without any hesitation. He went away sad. Spirituality cannot be a parasite growine on the boughs of prosperity. The spiritual must inspire and control the lower ph hife. And when this is a fact in bumsen life, then all other needed things are added. Selish- ness is dark and deadly wherever it is. Selfishness is the bane of human life. The law of sacrifice is the true law of life. Who- soever would save his life must lose it. He that loseth his life shall save it unto life = — SNMOND CONGRE oATioN AL 4HURCH REV PHILLIF COOMBE. Richmond Congrezational Church and the Pierce-street Congregational Church. Rev. Dr. Philip Coombe directs both. At 11| A. M. on Sundays be preaches at the | Pierce-street Church, and at 7:30 p. M. in Richmond Congregational Church At present the membership of Richmond | Congregational Church is fifty-nine. The | members are mostly young men and | women, and a mujority have united with tbe church upon confession of faith, few having been received from other churches. They are united and loyal to | their pastor. = Connected with the church there is a Sunday-school and a Christian Endeavor The Sunday-school is efliciently | ed, and bas for its superintendent Jackson Donogh and Miss Mattie Hook, and for secretary Miss Marie Horton. The | Sunday-school has a_membership of 101, | and the young people takea great pride | and interest in their organization. IThe | time of meeting is 10 | Christian Endeavorers a P. M. on Sundays. But it the prayer-meeting in which the pastor takes the greatest satisfaction. It is_held on Tueeday evenings at 7:30 | o’clock. The prayer-meeting has a large and regular atteudance.. For some time the church has been too smail for the needs of the conzregation, and the mem- bers expect to erect a more spacious and | beautitu! one soon. Part of the money for | this purpose has been raised, and promises to contribute much of the timber required | have already been received. In case the proper amount cannot be raised the old church will be enlarged and remodeled. as | the members do not desire to be incum- | bered with debt. The prospects for a new | church, however, are excellent. The de- | sign fevored by the majority is that of the | fanta Rosa church. The membership of Pierce-street Church is twenty-eight, and is composed mostly | of young persons. Connected with the | “Jesus knows every agony of soul and will never leave us. Our sky may be heavily overeast, but there are zolden rifts in the clouds and glorious rainbows in the heavens, reaching the earth as they circle the skies. In the invisible and eternal things of the life beyond us and above us we have to see the clouds and sit in the darkness and suffer the pain and endure the loneliness, but we may see something of the splendor of heaven if we will Jook upward, and brightness and illumination may beam upon us until the human face | may look like the face of an angel, and, lixe Stephen, we may see the heavens opened and the glory of God, and Jesus sittiing on the rignt hand of God. As we ascend .the mount of God through wind and storm. with battered head and bruised feet, and broken heart, and bated breath, we shall reach the sunshine of the Divine presence above the clouds and darkness, above the tempest and storm.” Keefe Was Only Disciplined. It appears that John Keefe, the gripman on the Jackson-street line who was said to have been discharged irom the Market-street Rail- way service because of a visit to Ingleside, is merely undergoing discipline at the hands of his company. 3 He aitended the races with his wife and some of her lady friends on his regular Cay of. He did not play the races himself, but ai the request of his companions purchased some pools for them. : His record is said_to be excellent. He ran | the first car over the Jackson-street line eight vears ego and has been in faithful attendance 10 his duties since. He has laid his case before Mr. Vining and Mr. Skinner and they have taken it under advisement. His defense is that no rule prohibiting atiendance at the races was posted in the Jackson carhouse, and that he was ignorant of such & rule. Heis not & habitue of the races, Mr. Keefe is in a tractable mood and says the company’s rules must be obeyed. —————— NATURE'S great remedy. Mitchell’s Maglic Lotion always relieves pain and generally cures. said that of all strange, inexvlicable | things concerning the coming of the Lord, none were more strange than this: Dur- ing the earlv part of Christ’s ministry, he did not proclaim his Messiahship, neither did he deny it. It was not until Christ bad made a place for himself that he to.d the world who he was. Had he done oth- erwise, argued Dr. Brown, he would have wroughta political rather than a religious change. Christ did not come to satiate olitical ambition, but to elevate human- 1ty to the plane of salvation. At the conclusion of the morning ser-| vices the standing committee met in the pastor’s study to pass on the applications | for membership of twelve women, voung and middle-aged. Under the existing con- ditions the presumption is that the dea- cons passed the would-be members with- out any great Congrepational form. John Kimball’s Bible class occupied the church immediately after the sermon, the regular Sunday-school meeting in the lecture-room below. The evening service at the First Church | did not differ materially from that of the morning, except as far as the text went. Dr. Brown found his subject in the thirt; second verse of the last chapter of Revela- tions, and for half an hour entertained his hearers with his interpretation of the gos- pel as found in that part of the New Testa- ment. 5 Tte fifteen or twentg new members se- cured by Dr. Brown and his friends during the pasi two weeks do not seem to worr: those now seeking to oust him. Brown's enemies claim that it matters not how much new blood is introduced, it cannot save the pastor. S MRS. COOPER’S CLASS.

SCHRODER MONUMENT. Dedicated Yesterday Afternoon at Odd Fellows’ Cometery by the Wood- men of the World. At Odd Fellows' Cemetery yesterday afternoon the monument to the memory of Theodore C. Schroder was unveiled by Golden Gate Camp No. 64, Woodmen of the World. There were present about 100 members of the camp, a large number of members from Redwood Camp No. 91 and a large crowd of visitors. ‘Lhe members grouped around the monu- ment in a circle and opened the ceremonies with the singing of the anthem, “Rock of Ages.”” Council Commander P. ¥. Gilroy made a few introductory remarks as to the purpose of the assemblage, which was followed by singing ‘“Nearer, My God, to Thee.”” Marion de Rocco then feelingly recited the poem, “Oh! Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud ?”’ The council commander ordered the master of ceremonies to remove_ the veil, which being done, he read the simple in- scription chiseled on the white marble snaft: Isonly what we give that we To the Memory of THEODORE C. SCHRODER, Born December 23, 1867, Died December 9, 1895. Erected by the Woodmen of the World. There followed the dedication of the monument in the impressive form peculiar to the order. The oration of the day, delivered by George W. Daywalt, dwelt upon the ster- ling qualities of the character of the de- ceased and paid a tribute to the relatives and friends. After the camp salute the members marched back to the chapel and disbanded. IN THE QUIET SEASON, The Aloha Whist Club Holds Its Final Meeting of the Season. IN HONOR OF MISS PRATHER.

Some Interesting News From a Man Who Has Traveled. MONG THE COUNTRY PEOPLE IN THE East, Arizona is still regarded as one of “the wildest and woollest” placas that this enlightened repubiic holds as part of Its territory. But the Ar- izona of to-day—though It may occasionally claim attention because of some slight divergence from what may be called “Sunday-school manners'—is not that man-hunting, reckless, devil-may-care country which has s0 often been described in fairy tales that touch the gentle ear of the average East- erner with a thrill of holy horror.

Reference is made to S. M. Hooker, who is now in Los Angeles. Mr. Hooker had the misfortune to get an attack of most malig- nant catarrh, which was so far-reaching in its ef fec's thatit nearly destroyed the whole of his nervons system, but he applied to the great spe- cialists at the great Hudson Medical Institute— that wonderful establishment for the cure of all the ills to which humanity is heir, and, of course, the great specialists there very speedilv effected a cure in his case, as they do in all other curable cases. Mr. Hooker thus expresses himself about it in a letter to the management: Los ANGELES, July 30, 1895.
