N studying the intelligence of ani- “ mels, both wild and domestic, we are often astonished at the similarity be- twe hem and the human family,” said Rev. William Gardner of the West Side Chr; Church. *Does man boast of his ability to rea- son? He finds bis horse possassed of the same faculty. Has man a conscience that condemns or approves his acts? So has the dog that with drooping heaa and tail con a sin against his master. Does man love his friends? So does the purring cat that nestles in the lap of its mistress. While the lower order of animals possess large degree the intelligence and ral sentiment of the human race, man was made in the image of God. It that image that has been marred and efaced by sin until many men reflect asa rror the shame of the devil ratner than the of the Lord. “The gospel of Christ is the power of God to renew in the human heart the di- vine image. “‘The redeemed man having been born again becomes an adopted son of God, and because he is a son Gad sends for:n the spirit of his son into his heart crying ‘Abba, Faitber.” The love of God is shed abroad in his beart by tbe Holy bpirit which is given him. That divine love is the image of God in him and the essential feature in which he differs from the beast. “Paul declared that without love man would_be nothing, though possessed of the spirit of prophecy, an understanding of ali knowledge, of all mysteries, and with faith enougin to move mountains. ‘We can understand this marvelous state- ment of Paul only in the light of the fact stated by John that ‘God is love.’ He that has not love has not the image of God in him; he is fallen, lost. Paaul’s word picture of love is a picture of God. ‘He suffers long and is kind; he envieth not; vaunieth not himself, is not puffed up; dots not behave himself unseemly; seeketh not his own; is not easily pro- voked; thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth {u the truth; bear- eth ali things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, enduret : ail things. God never faileth.”” in a . A Call for Volunteers, By Rev. H. T. S. Shepard. Nation does not lack brave men, said Rev. Mr. Shepard in Olivet Congregational Church.

David said in bis sermon yesterday morning: There are i:0 himited influences. The wave-circle which moves outward from the point of a falling stone’s contact with water will continue to move onward and to undulate until it reaches the water's limit, even if that limit be many miles away, Waves of sound will reach around the globe.

Thus, through vi- bration and radiation, every point in space communicates with every other point. If vibration and radiation are operative | universully on physical plans, they must | v on the spir- | itual plane; for they are laws that inhere | in nature, and cannot be present in one plane and absent in another. Therefore every thought and every affection sends forth its vibratory influence, and affects | in some degree every other affection and | thought in the universe. o man liveth | unto bimself.” Every man is inward connected with all others, and uncoi sciously working ior their happiness or misery. Every man isin some degree a center of mental force and mental radia- tion.

Ford. | ESUS was rejected by the best men in the Jewish nation,” said Rev. Frank 8. Ford of the First Christian Church, He spoke substan ially as follows: | *“Their teachers, their examples of godli- | ness and piety, zealous students of Scrip- tures and history, eagerly waiting for the Messiah, judged Je-us by their Scriptures | and were obeying the dictates of theirown consciences, and thought they were doing the will of God when hunting him to death. “They were 80 blinded by the ‘foolish- ness of their imaginations’ that they couid not discern the light. Their Messianic conception had been distorted by centu- ries of worldiness and materiality, They believed Jesus dominated by the devi because he was opposite thelr idea of go ship. “Fosus supplied abundant evidence. Ee could not supply them eyes to see. We speak of punishment of sin when we should say ‘resuit.’ He brought them all the power of which he was possessea, but he could not compel them without becoming as grossly material as they, and that he could not do. ““They demanded a sign. The only sign that could be given was tne logical con- cludon of ‘the times,’ and in the lurid sky of ‘the sign of Jonas,’ kindled by Roman torch, they could read the in- | scription of the cross and know that ‘the xingdom bad come.” "’ TENNIS, Notes of Interest to the Patrons of the Racket and Net. Among the tennis-piayers a decided in- terest is making itself manifest in antici- pation of the tenth annual tournament to be decided at the Hotel Rafael, SBan Ra- fael, on the 2d, 31 and 5th of July. Great things are predicted for this year's tourney. The hotel management, now under the control of General R. H. War- field, has made most complete arrange- mentsfor the entertainment of guests, Probably the most welcome news to those interested in tennis will be the an- nouncement of George de Long’s inten- uon to try for the champicnsbip after an absence of two years from the courts. He vut in several days of practice last week at the California courts, in company with the Whitney brothers, and well held his own. Another old-time crack in constant| truining is James A. Code. Among the visiting players will be Wal- ter Diliingham, the champion of Hawai, who is now en route here. One of his club mates, Mr. Wilder, will also enter. Mr. Wiider has put in a week of hara practice at the California Ciub, and his game, though differing sligutly from the iocal game, in nevertheless very effective. Tuese playérs will journey to Newport, after playingin our tournament, 1o try for National” bonors. T. A. Driscoll,” our champion of 1893, bas returned from the East laden with jaurels; be now holds the championship of the New England States, and also the Southern States and was only beaten for the intercollegiate cham- pionship by M. D. Whitman of Harvard in the finals. Mr. Driscoll looks well and announces himself in fine fettle for the | coming tournament. H Among the other players too well- known almost to need mentioning are the Hardy brothers of Oakland, Nichol- son, Stone, Gage, Selby, Spencer and Pratt, all of Oakland; Bowen and Holmes of Alameds; and then 1he Whitney brothers, W. Magee, D. E. Alilison, Brad- shaw, Chesebrough, Adams, Weibe, Root and Bliven of the California Ciub. Joseph Dalv, the well-known profes- sional champion, 1s now at the Hotel R fael, where he is employed in training sev- eral of the residents, who have formed a club, with J. J. Crooks as president.

Archbishop Riordan Praises the Parochial £ chools. The Feast of Corpus Christi and the Forty Hours Adoration at the Cathedral. One hundred bright-faced little German boys and girls and about a dozen adults were confirmed by Archbishop Riordanm at St. Boniface's yesterday afternoen. The edifice proved quite inadeguate to accom- modate the large number who wished to witness the ceremony and hear the Arch- bishop, and this fact the right reverend speaker used to draw his text from for the afternoon’s discourse. He called the at- tention of the parishioners to the obvious fact that they would soon be called upon to build a new house of worship and he counseled them to give the edifice occu- pied at present to the use of the children for a parish school. *Of the two things, the church sna the school,” he said, “the school is the more important, for during tne school hours is laid the foundation of spiritual life,” The importance of daily religious train- ing in conjunction with secular teaching was dwell upon, as was also the duty de- volving upon the parents to surround their children with a pure home life. In conclusion he admonished the children to 30 shape their lives that they would grow | up to be good Catholic men and women. At the conclusion of his remarks Arch- bisbop Riordan, assisted by Father Maxi- milian as master of ceremonies, Father Augustine as deacon, Father Romuald as sub-deacon and Father Cornelius as direc- tor of the children, administered the rite | of confirmation. Daring the services, the choir, under the direction of Professor Mayle, rendered appropriate music. At St. Mary’s Cathedral was celebrated yesterday the feastof Corpus Christi, and also the inauguration of the Forty Hours' Adoration. High mass was celebrated at 10:30 by Rev. Father Prendergast, assisted by Rev. Father Hannigan, deacon; Rev. Father Ramm, sub-deacon, and Rev. Father Dempsey, master of ceremonies, Archbishop Riordan preached upon he Solemnity of the Day.” At the conclusion of the sermon a procession took piace within the church, after which the litany of the Saints were recited. At vespers Rev. Father Ramm preached. This mornineg at the cathedral, continu- ing the celebration of the Forty Hours, there will be a solemn high mass pro pace, at 10 o'clock, and there will be an evening benediction. Tuesday at 10A. M. the Forty Hours will close with high mass, the litany and benediction. The feast of Corpus Christi was cele- brated with great eciat by Rev. Father Caraher, pustor of St. Francis’ Church on Vallejo streel, assisted by the cier:v of the parish, with Father Arthur M. Clark of tue Paulist cuurch of St. Mary’s, on Call- | fornia street. Rev. Father Clark has just returned from a trip to Hunolu!u, and out of re- | spect for the pastor of St. Francis he preached the sermon in that church at bigh mass in the forenoon. The altar was handsomely decorated with a profusion of cut roses, which, with the hundreds of lighted candles, made picture worthy of the pencil of an artist. Hizh mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father F. Haslin. At the end of the first gospel of the mass the Rev. Father Clark ascended the pulpit and delivered a most eloquent sermon on the feast of Corpus Christi, which fell on last Thursday, but was celebrated yesterday, that being the first Sunday within the octave of the feast. The sermon dwelt upon the universal presence ofGod in thejblessed sacrament ag taught in the Catholic church. Inancient days, before the Christian era, God was present in the temple of the Jewish wor- shipers, but unseen. Christ's death, however, he has made himself manifest by his real presence in the sacrament of the eucharist in_every Catholic church in the umverse. But to reap the reward of being present face to face with God in this sacrament it is neces- sary to be prepared within one’s heart. The Catholic church is not one of mere form and ceremony. 1t must be real to all participating in its blessed sacrsments by entering with heart and soul in devotion to the ever living and ever adorable God. The attendance at both morning and evening services was such tbat standing Toom Wwas at & premium. At vespers in the evening Rev. Father Heslin preached the sermon, after which a pro- cession of the Ho!y Eucharist throuch the aisles of the church was held, Rev. Father Caraher bearing the host. All the sodali- ties connected with the parish followed Since the time of | their pastor while making the round of the church. "ON FINANGE. Mr. Shepard Advocates the Creation of a New Party. W. C. Shepard spoke at Pythian Castle yesterday upon the necessity for a new political party with a financial plank in it. The following is an extract: In the pioneer days of California merchan. ise w mules ana oxen and pack animals. population increased the amount of goods re- quired increased, and as the amount of goods 10 be transporied increased, the number of horses, mules and oxen bad to bs increased. And with the pre-eut population of Califor- nis it wowd be most inconvenient, if not utterly impossible, to transport needed sup- plies 1o the people of this coast by the old sysiem of Lransportation—horses, mules and oxen. But since these pioneer days our system of transportation has been changed. We have substituted railroads, locomotives and cers for the horses, mules, oxen aud wagous for- merly used. And although the business has increased a hundred iold, it can be and is ac- complished with the greatest fucility. If we were obliged to depend upon the old system, it would be found to be entirely inadcquate, 25 the horses, mules and oxen would often be found not to be in the places where they were needed, nor at the time they were needed, nor in the number that were needed. But no in. convenience of this kind conid equal that ex. perience by the producers in consequence of ihe defect of our monelary system. Just monetary laws are of more importance 10 the producing classes than all the machines that have been invented in the iast fifty years. Yet there has been mo mew inventions in financial affairs by which our cxchanges may bo more equitably and more easily made. True we have increased the amouut of gold and silver coins and tne number of banks, banknotes aud money-brokers, but this is ng more an improvement in tie'medium of dis. tribution than the increase iu the number of pack horses on the old muddy roads would be an improvement {n conveying proauct while iz would still take the same muscular power to convey & given weight. ——————— Knights of the Golden Eagle.

They warned wme about what he was saying, but I took no notice of it. *“Last Thursday night the landlord of the house at Eighteenth and Sanchez streets told me 1 would have to leave the house, as the rent was overdue, but he told me that mv son would take me to a room at 146 Twelfth streetand my son would support me.

How the Captain of the Samaritar Rect fizd ¢n Error—A New Tahi- ti. n Trader. What might have been a calamity on the water-front was narrowly averted yes- terday by the prompt actiop of two men on the United States Customs steamer Golden Gate. Two young fellows called “‘Chocolate” Barimzn and *“Chief” Bir- mingbam were out sailing in a whiteball boat and were on their way in from Har- bor View, when ihe little craft capsized in the region of Meiggs wharf. The accident occurred about 1:30 r. M. Birmingham had just gone forward to take the mast down and all of his weight was on one side of the boat, when Bartman happened to get on the same side, and in a twinkling the boat went over and the two found themselves treated toan icy bath without any preparation on their part. Towels and soap were not in it atall Powell-street wharf was crowdea with sightseers at the time, as was also the in- tervening space between that and Meiggs. Rudolph Benges and Eric Erickson, sail- ors on the Golden Gate, at once put out to the scene of the accident in a rowboat, Birmingham had managed in the mean- while to climb upon the keel of the over- turned skiff, but for some inexpiicable reason fell off and had just mansged to regain his seat when he was reached by the rescuers. Bartman was not so lucky. He had to stay in the water all the time, seemingly for the same mysterious reason not being able to clamber to a point of safety. He had a death grip on the boat's rudder, however, and kept out.of the water all the | time he' was not swallowing the brine. Both men were brought to the wharf in safety, and declared that they would never do it again. The British_ship Samaritan, from De- parture Bay, B. C., which has been iying in the siream, was towed to the Pacific Mail docks to unload a cargo ot coal yes- terday by the tug Rescue. She made the trip down in six days—ftive from Cape Flattery—the best time made for a long period. Captain Baxter didn’t know it was jubilee day for all British subjects on Saturday and forgot to hoist any flags over the vessel, but when he found out yesterday that such was the case he said be guessed he would make up for lost time, and every Union Jack that could be | dug up was placed on the vessel’s masts and rigging. The United States gunboat Concora now les off Foisom-street wharf, just be- | yond the Mouadnock. She has just come down from Mare Island, where she was thoroughly overhauled, and in a few days is expected 10 go to Sitka. The American ship Commodore from Baltimore with a cargo of coal shifted from Mission 2 to Beale-street whart yes- terday todischarge her cargo. The Brit- ish ship Wina took her place and will begin discharging to-day. The Lilah and Matiie, manned by a crew of scientists, will depart for the South Seas to-day. The wind and other conditions were not favorable for her yes- terday. A natty little schooner, the Neptune, brand new in every particular, now lies at Howard-street wharf.

SOLLY SMITH AND JOHNNIE GRIFEIN They Have Been Matched to Box in a Limited Contest. Four Local Clubs Are Now Bid- ding for the S:ars of the Ring. Tom O'Rourke Leaves the East To- Day With Eis Stzble, George Dixon an' Jack Everhardt. The situation pugilistic is becoming in- teresting, and this City once more Is the Mecca toward which the exponents of the “manly art” are making their way. The recent fiasco in New York, where the referee would not give a decision against Sharkey for foul fighting, and the police would not permit Maher to whip his man, has disgusted the patrons of the sport, and they show a disposition for the time being to shun limited contests. Hence no sane manager of fistic evenis will dare put up a big purse to bring good men together. Boston, Pniladelphia and Chicago never were cities o countenance ring engagements, and New Orleans is v.rtualiy a dead letter, kiiled by a stupen- dous success that ma ‘e the fight promot- ers quarrel among themselves. There is Carson or Reno of Nevada left for big events to a finish, but these do not occur more than twice in a decade, and Fitzsimmons plucked the last plum there in March, Forlimited contests, therefore, San Francisco must be looked to in the future. There are now four clubs in this City bidding for the services of scientific glove | weilders. They are the Nalional, with Gibbs and Groom as managers; the Cali- fornia, with Rivers and Marcheon; the Columbia, with Douglas White, and tbe Empire, with Alf Ellin:house. The Olym- pic Club was in the race for a while, but a recent loss has caused the directors to go back to the amateur sphere, where it le- gitimately belongs. The four active clubs have enough en- tertainments on their books, however, to satisfy the public. Douglas White suc- ceeded yesterday in arranging for a go between Solly Smith, the old-time phe- nomenon from Los Angeles, and Jonnn e Griffen. It will be at 125 pounds. The purse will be put at $5000 for the general public, but that looks good in print ant cuts no other figure, as managers and principals always have sub-arrangements. Tom O’Rourke will leave the East to- day with his stsble, consisting of Jack Everbardt and George Dixon. The former is to meet Spider Kelly and the latter Dal Hawkins. The last engagement has been dated for July 23, Hawkins agreeing to weigh in at 128 pounds at 6 o’clock on the afternoon of the contest. D xon, of course, does not need to train down. The Coilumbia Club will bring out Jef- fries and Ruhin either on the 15th or 16:h of July, the date not being definitely set- tled. The National Club has Green and Wal- cott on the tapis. It will be atcatch- weights somewhere in the welter-weight class. ‘Fhe California Club is going to do some- thing in the way of giving good sport at popular prices. The $2 o $5 proposition is to make way for the fifty cents to $1 50. Baker and Miller will be the stars, and Henry Woods and Thompson will be sec- ond best. SHOT IN THE MOUTH.
