ANNA SHAW INTHE PULPIT, A Service of Praise Ends the Woman's Con- gress. CROWDS ARE PRESENT. Excellent Programme of Classic and Popular Sacred Music. SYNOPSIS OF THE SERMON. The Lady Preacher Predicts the Happy Advent of a New Order of Things. Save that she wore no veil, the Rev. Anna Shaw looked like some medieval lady abbess just from her cloistered cell or abbey throne as she stepped forward last night, amid garlands of snow-white bloom, to conduct the religious service of praise, which was the formal termination of the Woman’s Congress, In a graceful, flowing habit of black nun’s veiling, relieved at the neck and wrists by glimpses of white lawn, the reverend lady was every inch a preacher, while her coronet of silvery hair gave her a majesty and dignity altogether queenly. A burst of applause greeted her appear- ance; but as she was present not to please the public, but to preside at a devotional exercise, she gave no answering smile and bow, but took her seat for a few moments, in order to give late comers a chance to ar- rive before the service should commence. Native Sons’ Hall, the scene of the con- gress, was crowded to the doors and be- yond the doors out to the street, while many who would have remained were forced to leave owing to the lack of room. The service opened with the singing of the hymn, “Come, Thou Almighty King,"” by the vast congregation, with piano and organ accompaniment. There was some- thing grand and imposing in the deep volume of harmony wellizg forth from To the Editor of THE CaArL: For SIMPLE JUSTICE. GEORGE T. SHAW, GRAND SECRETARY. beings. But, my man of science, your work is not yet done. “‘In the name of the god of justice I call upon you to take up your scalpel ngm’n and to carve out for me that woman’s soul. When you have done so, nn!lyze that soul and show to me in what it differs from the soul of man. “It is better to be true to the truth than true to tradition. The truth is breaking in upon the soulof woman, and is even now setting her free. She must advance. The work is not of her doing. And even though she be obliged, in entering the path of progress, to cast aside the molder- ing traditions of the past, truth tells her that 1f traditions are to be maintained woman must be crushed by them. Woman will not submit to being crushed by tra- ditions, 8o traditions must be cast to the winds. “It is said the churches are hard upon women. Yet women constitute fully three- fourths of the church members. How strange it is then, that a great Methodist convention should be convulsed and di- vided as to thé admission of women to its sessions. It is time, my dear friends, for TustiN, OraANGE CounTy, CAL. Dear Sir—I have just learned that your paper has come out in favor and support of woman suffrage, and I want to add my “mite” to the thanks you must be receiving from the women of the whole Nation. I believe many other great newspapers of the country are really in favor of the movement, but they haven’t the courage to come out and say so plainly, and because our cause is still so unpopular with many I admire the more the stand you have taken for simple justice. Again thanking you, I gm'very traly yours, May 6, 1896. It can be nothing but a benefit to THE CALL. Mary Exmerson Haskins. Foothill No. 317—George N. Bowers. Dunnigan No. 318—Jasper N. Decker.

Benefit for Families of Dead Italian Soldiers. 2000 throats, and some, perhaps, whose voices had not for years been raised in sc- cents of praise joined heartily in the sing- ing. A very brief invocation was then made by the reverend lady, calling for the divine assistance and presence in words replete with deep religious fervor. The “Amen’’ being said, the festal notes of the ancient ‘‘Adeste Fideles' resounded through the hall, the music of the old Christmas hymn being set to an English versified translation of the Psalm, “The Lord is my shepnerd.” Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper led in prayer. In the course of her petition she returned thanks for the success of the Woman’s Congress, of which the evening’s service She also entreated for the movement itself the constant aid of divine guidance and help. Mrs. A. M. Brune next gave a very artis- tic rendering of the soprano solo “I Will Extol Thee, O Lord,” from Sir Michael Costa’s oratorio of “Eli,” with organ ac- companiment by J. Hamilton Howe and piano obligato by Mrs, Johnson-Satchel- der. The young tady’s singing was evi- dently appreciated, though the congrega- tion had the good taste not to applaud. A collection was taken up for the pur- pose of defraying the expenses attendant upon the congress, during which Miss Xenia Roberts sang Holden’s beautiful contralto solo, “Thou Art Near.” Her voice seemed peculiarly suited to the hymn, waich she gave with rare expres- sion, her deep, hell-like lower tones being particularly noticeable for their purity and resonance, All present joined in the singing of ‘“America,” alter which Miss Shaw ad- vanced to a temporary pulpit, empowered in white roses and St. Joseph lilies, and announced her text: ‘‘Loose thyselt from the bands of thy neck, Ob captive daughter of Zion,” taken from the second verse of the fifty-second chapter of Isaiah’s prophecy. “During the past week,” she said, “we have seen the aspirations of discouraged hearts; we have heard the cold, cutting shafts of science and the crushing dicta of certain schools of theology to the effect that woman is to be suppressed. These merciless, oppressive ideas were until lately considered the only right ones. W. | The xreat in church and State accepted them as true beyond all necessity of proof. “But in these latter days we are seeing a wonderful evolution in womanhood.

If Iam told by my spiritual guide to stifle all the nobler aspirations of my soul, I will ask why. If my political guide teils me that I can never hope to have a voice in the framing of the laws which gov- ern me, I demand why. Why should I not take up the burdens of life? Why should I be precluded from the rights, the honors and the liberties of a human being? These questions are symptoms of the doubt which saves. *Last week a woman came to me, her face haggard with corroding pain and her eyes heavy with unshed tears. She told me she had been robbed of a dear daugh- ter, whose budding womanhood had been blasted and whose hopes. humanly speak- ing. had been crushed. Why, T ask, why, in heaven’s name, cannot that mother have a chance to aid in framing laws to take the place of the nfamous statutes which at present leave her without a remedy? The answeris easy. Man does not wish it. Every man knows that the will of man is the will of God. “But let us trust in God. In the sacred privacy of our devotions let us prostrate ourselves in spirit before the divine majesty of our loving Father. God will clear away our doubts and fears. He will shoulder our burdens and show us the way. If woman 1s to advance she must keep her face ever tvrned toward the source of light and wisdom. She can never progress if she forsakes or outgrows ber early childlike faith in the goodness of God. “Christ said: ‘And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men up to me,” The woman who strives to live and advance in the light of the divine presence may say: ‘If I be lifted up from the miseries and bonds of the vresent age, I will draw the world up with me.’ “Oh, if each woman here would only strive to make good use of the graces and opportunities which are vouchsafed to her, what an advance would be made toward the evolution of a higher, purer and nobler humanity. *‘Oh, daughter of Jerusalem, raise the yoke from thy neck. The worst oppres- sion comes to thee not from without, but from within. The woman who has ¢, free soul must in time become all free. Not that she will go through life alone. No, she will search out and #ind souls worthy of her companionship, and all these grand souls will work together for the uplifting of the human race.” A short prayer followed the sermon, after which the Trebie Cieff Quartet gave 8 most artistic and devotional renderirg of Sullivan’s **Lost Chord.” Mrs. Cooper mude a short address, thanking all who had aided in making®the ‘Woman’s Congress the success it was, after which Miss Shaw ina most impressive manner pronounced the benediction. In answer to a question as to her future movements Miss SBhaw stated that she would leave this City to-day or to-morrow in order to comvly with her engagements in the interior towns. She is resolved apon visiting all sections of the State before the election, and intends that no voter in Cali- fornia shall remain in ignorance of the ar- guments for woman suffrage. “It'sa hard task, I know, but my heart is in the work and that makes it a delight tome. Iam convinced that the heaviest strain will be on my voice alone. As for the work of convincing your grand Cali- fornian men, it is no work at all. I have found them so true and nob'e in act, word and sentiment, that I am convinced all they need is to be assured that the woman suffrage movement is just, and they will throw themselves into it, heart and soul. ‘'O, the men of California!” exclaimed the gifted lady, “how [ wish they could know the pride which will fill our hearts when we shall have found the daughters of the Golden West owing their freedom to the generous votes of so grand a race of bemngs!” Fell From a Train.
