Thou shalt ot steal. “Thou shalt not besr false witness.” And substantially the same teachings are found in the Old Testament. I read in Isaiah Ixv that kilieth au ox is as If he slew & man’; and in Exodus xxii:28, “Thou shalt not evile the gods”; and in Habakkuk 11:15, #Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor driuk, that putteth thy botile to him and makest him dranken also”; and in Isaiah vii:15, “Butter and honey shall he eat that he may know to refuse the evil and cnoose the g00d”; and in Jeremish xxvili:9, “The prophet ihat prophesieth of peace when the word of the prophet shall come to pass then shall the proph:t be known that the Lord hath truly sent him”; and in chapter xxxi I “I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, not according to the covenant TImade with their fathers. “In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the chil- drer’s teeth are set on edge, but every inan shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grape his teeth shail be set on edge.” In Isaish v:22, T read: “Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine and men of strength to mingle sirong drink.” 5 And in Daniel i:8, I find the following: “But Daniel proposed in his heart that he would notdefile himself with the portion of the king’s meat nor with the wine which he drank. “Then said Daniel: ‘Prove thy servants, I bescech thee, ten days, and let them give us Ppulse 1o eat and water to drink.’’ Again in Daniel iv:27, the following oc- ed 10 work for the uni- | 1sm is, I repeat, | Coylon | y man and nat:on | d brotherhood. I | « perfect, sell ail and give to the | curs: ““Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee and break off thy sins Ly righteousness and thine iniguities by showing mercy to the poor.” X Jesus declares: “For with what judgment ye judge yeshall be judged, and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you agein.” To_the multitude he spoke: *Ye are the light of the world.” Elsewhere I read that “when he saw the multitude he was moved with compassion.’” “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which 1s in heaven the same is my brother and sister and mother.” Tne e 115 of a universal religion I found in the verses I nave quoted, and as they were in perfect harmony with the teachings of Buddha I decided to give & portion of my ser- vices to Christ, and in the spirit of truth, love and brotherhood—basic principles of my re- ligion—L stand here to-day to work with the followers of Christ in combating the evils of drink, slaughtering of sanimals, and selfish- ness. The only universal religion which is the elder sister of Chrisianity is Buddbism,which has existed for twenty-four centuries in A-ia and which is now being seriously studied by Western scholars on account of its profound f this religion is Gautama, the Buddha, whose beautiful life nas been made famiiiar by Edwin Arnold to English readers in his immortal epic, the “Light of Asia.” The philosophical side of Buddna’s reiigion | has been clearly shown in the introduction to | “The Gospel of Buddha,” by Dr. Paul’ Carus, and H. ¢.

Dr.Hop- kins in bis “‘Religions of India’ s “It was the individual Buddha that capti- vated man; it was the teaching that emanated from him that fired enthusiasm ; i was his posi- tion asan aristocrat that made him accept- able to the aristocracy; his magnetism ihat made him the idol of his people.

A “Practice Gathering” in Anticipation of the Big Time in July. The Great Gathering the Sutj ct of Discussion—The Workers G:t- ting Ready. The mass-convention of Golden Gate Union, held last evening at the First Con- gregational Church, was very properly | named, for it was just that—a mass-con- vention, completeiy filling the church. The bhurch was handsomely decorated with purple and gold, in bunting and flowers. The galleries were draped and festoons hung down from the big orgen; ibe pulpit and platiorm were dressed with palms and vellow poppies, and on one side swung the golden banner of the En- deavorers, and between the festoons, against the pipes of the organ, were the letters **C. E.” in yellow flowers. < The convention was merely a *‘practice | gathering,” so to speak, to anticipate the | spirit ana’ talk over the plans of the big July convention. The programme was an | excellent one to the purpose, the ‘‘busi- ness” being interspersed with good music and pointed addresees, J. S. Webster had for his subject *“The | '97 Convention.” He told of some of the | preparations for receiving the ‘‘great | army of fresh-taced, strong-spirited and | bigh-purposed young Christians, who will invade the City in July.” | Great arches are to be erected in the | street testifying welcome to the visitors, receptions are to be held in Mechanics’ Pavilion, rather than in Woodward’s, and a concert is to be given them on the even- ing of the 6th of July, a concert of 1000 voices, the like of which has never been heard in this City. | Hesaid that after much labor the rates | have finally been secured and determined | over all the transcontinental roads of a one-way fare for the ronnd trip from the | Missouri Kiver, with stop-over privilezes | in California and over the northern roads | at points of interest on them. | He called for a demonstration in behalf | of “‘the great lever” in securiug these ad- ‘vnnmges, and who was present in the | | | | | church. Tuoe big audience broke into applause supplemented with the waving of hand- kerchiefs in greeting to—though the name was not mentionec—Rolla V. Watt. Another call jor applause was made in behalf of 'he Southern Pacific Railroad and its cflicials, who, he said, had done much in securing this rate, which was certain 1o attract trainloads and train- loads of people. The cail was responded to heartily, as was also another in bebalf of the ‘‘plain working members of the commitiee, of whom I am one,” said the speaker. Reports were read of the corresponding secretary, Hetta J. Reynolds; the record- ing secretary, Minnie C. Lanquist, and of the treasurer, Charles M. Whiting. The recording secretary reported that: The superintendent of junior work reports { thirty-nine junior and thirteen intermediate societies, with a membership of about 1450. Thev arc all brim full of enthusiasm for 1897 and will be very actively identified with | our work next July. |~ The senior societies number fifty-one, with a | membership of 1500.

The corresponding secretary, in her re- | port, referred to the Japanese society | and the three Chinese societies, who would probably be an interesting object- lesson to the visitors. The president of the union, Purcell Rowe, presided at the meeting, and ad- dresses were made by Rev. R. F. Coyle and Rev. H. N. Hoyt. _A special edition of the Golden Gate News, the organ of the union, formed the printed programme, and the ushers wore the white caps that will distingmish the reception aids duning the convention. SHOWERS OF EGES FOR SOCIALISTS They Have a Nasty Exp:- rience on Grant Avenue. Yelks and Shells Bespatter a Large Gathering of Spec- tators. Miscreants Briak Up a Meeting Where Political Economy Was B ing Discussel. For the first time in many vears in this City a public meeting was broken up by a shower of eggs. This disgraceful inci- dent happened last evening at a street mecting of speakers of the Sccialist Labor party, who assembled on Grantjavenue, near the junction of O'Farrell and Market streets. The last time thatsuch a thing bappened was when the Salvation Army first made its appearance in this City. Those who threw the hen-fruit last evening were as much of a mystery to the besmeared crowd as the identity of the man who struck William Patterson. Had the egg-throwers been caught their gore would have been mixed with the broken shells and yelks that clung to the victims' coats and bespattered the sidewalks Several weeks ago the socialists renewed ibeir street meetings and their favorite places for gathering have been on Sixth and Market, Pine und Kearny and Grant avenue and O’ Farrell street. Twice a week they have held forth in these places discuss- ng their doctrines and their theories upon matters of political economy.. On every occasion they have gathered large crowds. Last evening fully 400 people assembied around the socialist speakers, W. Costley, W. Edlin, A, Appel, and matters went on swimmingly until o patent medicine ven- der drove up in an open uack He took up his position on the opposite side of the thoroughfare and began his usual barangue. It happened that the crowd was more interested in socialism than in the wares the other had to seil, so he pulled histeam in near to the crowd. This, of course, caused some feeling on the part of the =o- cialist speakers, who at last took personal notice of their rival's presence, and a lively exchange of verbal shots took place from both sides. This amused the crowd hugely and oth- joined the gathering, unul the street was blocked with people. A policeman strolled up, but passed on along his beat, as there was no disturbance. A few min- utes after he was out of sight a white ob- ject whizzed through the air and landed upon Socialist Costiey’s cheek. It was the first egg, and the speaker was besmeared irom head to foot. Some of the crowd laughed and others hooted and hissed as the unfortunate Costley gave place to another speaker, while "he went away to clean off the debris. A little later another egg went into the crowd, etriking a speciator on the shoutder and spattering over haif a dozen others near by. Curses became loud and long. e fusillade of eggs was kept up at in- tervals until over itwo dozen bad found targets in the crowd, which pegan to thin out rapidly. Womes as well as men were the victims and the meeting was obliged to adjourn without the formality of & mo- tion. Messengers were sent for the police, but none could be found. Efforts were made by the socialists to locate the offenders, but to no purpose. This much was known, that all of the eggs were thrown from the west side of the sireet, and not a few were nurled out of the windows of the tull build- ings over the saloon and cigar-stand. Strange to say, the patent medicine seller and those immediately surrounding his vehicle escaped without being in the least bespattered, and afier the sucialists and their crowd dispersed he continued his address unmolested. The socialists attach much importance to this feature. They are not discouraged, but will resume their open-air propaganda work without considering last evening’s egg-throwing experience.

Judge Terry’s Slayer Cal'ed a Hirzd Assassin and a S:uthern Pacific Thuz. As the outcome of the *‘roast” to which David Nagle was submitted some time ago in the Star, published by James H. Barry, there was an exciting scene on a Devisadero-street car on Tuesday, between the two men named. This was the second episode that has resulted from the publi- cation in question. In each case le was the aggressor, according to eye-witnesses, and his resent- ment has apparently not moderated, though the *roast” was applied several months ago. On the latest occasion Nagle was on the car seated on the side of the dummy away from the sidewalk, when Barry boarded the car at the corner of Hayes street, on his way downtown. According to one who was aboard the dummy at the time Nagle, on sesing his old-time enemy, began using abusive lan- guage, directed against him. As soon as the editor of the Star comprehended the situation he shouted to Nagl Shut up, you biackguard; you bired assassin, shut up. Nugle arose and in a threatening man- ner approached Barry, who kept his seat and continued: “Ycu hired Southern Pacific thug, you have threatened to kill me; you have killed others. Now kill.”” The Southern Pacific employe came a step or two nearer and said: ‘‘Be careful what you say,” adding some vile language and epithel “I will say whatever I please,™ replied tbe journalist, “*both by word of mouth and'in public print."” Nagle promptly invited Barry to get off the car and fight, but the latter an- swered tnat he was not “engaged in the business of fighting skunks.”” Matters subsided until Nagle left the car at Leavenworth sireet. As he was about to do so he said something about Barry not printing anytbiag about him in his paper. To this Barry rejoined: *Whenever such a creature as vou can dictate the policy of my paper and keepa line out or put a line in I ought to be dead.” In thecourse of the exchange of unpleas- antries Barry took occasion to inform his adversary that he, Nagle,was a gunfighter and that he probably thought on account of his reputation that he could kill any man, and added, “You have killed the last man you ever will and live.”” An atiempt was made to find Nagle last night, but he was not at home. Barry was seen at his office late last night and confirmed in substanca the occurrence as related. KILLED HERSELF, Mrs. Mary Dobelaarr Wound Up a Sick Spell With, a Draught of Strychuine. Mrs. Mary Dobelaarr, whose residence was 40 Twelith street, died at 7 o’clock yesterdsy morning from strychnine taken by herself with the intention of commitling suicide. Her husband is the owner of the scow schooner Mountain View, and was absent from the City at the time the suicide took place. The woman had been sick for the past five azys and swallowed the poison at 5 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon. W. H. Miller, who lives in the same buildi saw the women take the drue, and immediately summoned Dr. Thrasher, who admiuistered the proper antidotes, but the poison haa already taken effect and the woman died, as before stated. Coroner Hawkins took charge of the body and an inquest will be held. HEN they put a man in jail, he cannot follow his natural inclinations, His enjoyment of | life is limited. He cannot eat what he vants to—he is lim- ited to a very frugal diet. He is alive to be sure, but life doesn’t possess very many advantages, Are not all these things equally true of a dyspeptic? For all of the real enjoy- ment he gets out of life, he might as well be in jail. He can- ot eat what he likes, or as much of it as he would like. If he transgresses any of the rules of his diet, he is punished for it. He suffers much, gets little sympathy. Dyspepsia starts with indigestion, and may lead to almost anything. Indiges- tion means a varicty of things—it shows itself in many ways. At first, perbaps a little heaviness in the stomach, a little sourness, windy belchings and heartburn. HeadacHes begin to come pretty soon aiter that, and biliousness and a foul taste in the mouth in the morning. Chronic constipation is almost inevitable, and it is probably the most serious trouble that ever takes hold of a man. Its seeming simplicity is the thing that makes it most dangerous, because it leads to neglect. Constipation means that the body is hold- ing poisonous, impure matter that should be gotten rid of. The poison is heing Te- absorbed into the blood and the whole body is being filled with it. Impurity in the blood may lead to almost any disease. There is no telling what may come of it. Constipation is the start of it all. And yet people are careless about it. It is the most serious thing in the world, and the easiest to cure if you go about it right. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellcts cure constipation. Cure it positively, certainly, infallibly. Cure it g0 it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop taking medicine. And that is something that no other remedy in the world will do. Wrights Indiaa Vegetabls Fills Are s have u: 8 CK 1L TION, Torpid Live purify’ the biood.
