10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNE Y, APRIL 27, 1898. WMUSTER ROLL OF THE RED GROSS LEAGUE INGREASING RED CROSS IN SCHOOLS. Rev. Dr. John Coule Makes a Most Timely and Valu- able Suggestion. ¥ BERKELEY, April 26, 1808. Editor of The Call—Dear Sir: Allow me to congratulate you on the splendid movement The Call has inaugurated, that has culminated in the organization of the Red Cross Sanitary Commission of California. I am deeply interested in the work. - It was my privilege during the war to be in charge of the Fifth Corps, headquarters Sanitary Commission, Army of the Potomac. I know something of the work done by that organjzation for our brave boys at the front The full history of the Sanitary Commission will never be written. Of the number of lives saved and sufferings alleviated none know save the recording angel. Its daily history, however, was written upon the memories of the men whose wounds were healed, whose lives were saved, and whose health was restored by the kindly ministers of this society, and it found its reward in the lasting gratitude of those saved through its agency Its mpst valuable opportunity comes while cannon are yet booming and musketry is still rattling; where life is as cheap as air and the dead and wounded are falling thick as autumn leaves; when the army is pur- sued or is pursuing: when the wounded perforce are lying neglected on the field—then the sanitary agent becomes an angel of mercy to the men whose lives are slowly ebbing away. Again, when the wounded are consigned to the hospital the daily visits of t} , bringing help and sympathy, are highly prized by men with su ng on beds of pain. This help cor in letters written to loved ones at home, clothing distributed, delicacies supplied, so essential to the sick, but impossible to the army bill of fare The point of this letter is this: The Berkeley High School has the "honor of beipg the first school in the State to organize a Sanitary Com- CO0000000000 Ii!?

STRONG LEAGUE. Initiate the Red Cross Movement There. OAKLAND, April 26.—A branch of the Red Cross Society was organized here to-day, and it promises to be one of the strongest leagues in the State. The members of the Ebell Society took | the initiative in the formation of the patriotic and humane league. The Ebell Society does not propose to limit the membership to its own members, but to make the organization a general one, and all persons and societies are asked to join and help in the work it proposes to do. Mrs. Lemmon addressed the meeting outlining the work the new society would be called upon to perform, and the duties it owed to the country and humanity. e It did not take the ladles long to per- fect organization. Mrs. G. S. Abbott was elected president, and the follow- ing were appointed vice-presidents: Mrs. Alice Bunnell, Mrs. J. K. Mc Lea Irs. Paul Lohse, Mrs. D. Hen- shaw Ward, Mrs. J. G. Lemmon, Mrs. Daniel Kent, Mrs. Charles Webb How- | ard, Mrs. Robert Watt, Mrs. George D. Gray, Mrs. Edward Pringle, Mrs. J. J. ‘Warner, Mrs. Oscar Long, Mrs. George W. Percy, Mrs. Albert Miller, Mrs. Henry Wetherbee, Mrs. F. Dunwoody, Mrs. C. W. Kinsey, Mrs. Albert Sut- ton, Mrs. S. T. Alexander Mrs. E. B. Beck. Miss Mary W. Keene was selected as secretary, with Miss Janet Haight as assistant and Mrs. D. Edward Collins as treasurer. The following committees were named: Surgical materials—Dr. Knox. Training and emergencies, nursing and survey—Mrs. John Yule, Mrs. W. L. Oliver and Mrs. R. W. Gorrill. Military medical methods, not select- ed; records of sick and wounded sol- B. Ginn. It is proposed to hold a meeting on Sunday afternoon next at 4 p. m. in | the First Congregational Church to perfect plans and acquaint the public with the purposes of the organization. The following are the vice-presidents for the meeting Sunday: Rev. J. K. | McLean, D. D.; Rev. R. F. Coyle, D. D.; | Rev. Thomas McSweeney, Rev. E. R. Dille, D. D., and Rev. Robert Ritchie. Rev. Theodore C. Williams, Rev. C. R. Brown and Rev. E. Chapman will also be selected as vice-presidents. - A WELCOME ANGEL. A Battle-?cérred Hero Tells of the Blessings of Army Nurses. “What do I think of the Red Cross League?” said Cclonel William R. | Smedberg, as he leaned back in his office chair. “Well, we had no league during the Civil War, but the relief so- cieties did noble work. Every one who was not a combatant assisted directly or indirectly in the hospitals or with | the ambulances in the field. If one only knew what a blessed thing the | sight of a petticoat coming across the field of battle is to a wounded soldier | my enthusiasm would be pardoned. “Do I believe that women nurses should be sent to the front? Let me amplify a little. Certainly no woman should be upon the forefrout of battle. A male nurse would be more in place there. | “It is the women who have had ex- | perience of life, the mothers of fami- | lies, who do the best work. The | wounded must be treated as helpless | children. | _“Right here let me interpolate that ‘Walt Whitman wrote about this very subject: ‘The presence of a good-na- | tured middle-aged or “erly woman, the magnetic touch of han the ex- pressive features of the mother, the si- | lent soothing of her presence, her words, her knowledge and privileges arrived at only through having had children are precious and final quali- fications.” It is a natural faculty that is required. It is not merely having a genteel young woman at a table in a ward. One of the finest nurses I met | was a red-faced, illiterate old woman. | I have seen her take the poor wasted boys so tenderly up in her arms. “On May 5, 1864, I was wounded at the battle of the Wilderness, and, after | lving in a hospital there for three | weeks, I was shipped on a transport to ‘Washington with fifteen hundred other | wounded men. And here I had my | first experience of sanitary work. God bless it! Of course the Government furnishes the necessaries, but ‘even its best efforts are often inadequate | unless supplemented by contributions of organized and generous-hearted be- | nevolence. On our transport we found all sorts of grateful comforts that the wounded soldier knows full well how to appreciate. “Yes, 1 unhesitatingly indorse the Red Cross League.

The Majority of the Congrega- “tion Want to Retain the Rev. Mr. Wickham. NOT WANTED BY MINORITY | Consequently the Majority of the Members Have Left the Church in a Body. The denomination in Alameda County known as the Christian Church seems | to have fallen upon evil days. Strife and dissension hold the fort in two of the folds and on one occasion a “brother” invited another “brothar” into the anteroom to settle their differ- ences a la Fitzsimmons and Corbett. This little incident happened at a prayer meeting and needless to say the affairs of the church were not im- proved thereby. In Oakland the members of the Cen- tral Christian Church have locked horns over the sayings and doings of | the Rey. Edwards Davis, while in Ala- meda the First Christian Church is entirely disrupted over the retention or dismissal of the Rev. J. A. Wickham. | Trustees Speddy and Lorentzen, have been trying to get Rev. Mr. Wickham to resign, while the minority, led by Elder Thomson and Mrs. Dill, have been anxious to retain him. The cli- max came last Sunday, when the Rev. Henry V. Morgan notified Rev. Mr. Wickham that if he preached in the First Church that day there would be a disturbance that would not be quelled in a hurry. Rev. Mr. Wickham did not preach and his followers remained away from the sacred edifice almost in a body. A meeting of the seceders was held last cvening, and as a result, Ger- mania Hall on Lincoln avenue, mnear Park street, has been secured, and services will be held there nexi Sun- | they will prove their case when the | matter is laid before Union. | satisfled with him,’ | S | For some time back a minority, led byi day. The minority undisputed possession of the Park- street building and also the debt owing by the church. The latter body | Is sald . to be formulating charges | against Rev. Mr.- Wickham, which will be laid before the Minis s’ Union in this city. His followers will of course espouse his cause and. another wordy warfare is sure to follow. The troubles of the First Christian Church date back to over a year ago. At that time the Rev. Henry V. Mor- gan was the pastor, but after some frictlon he resigned and subsequently opened a temperance saloon in San Francisco. He still continues to make his home in Alameda and attended the | First Church. ! ‘When the Rev. Mr. Wickham was in- stalled as pastor of the church he at first gave entire satisfaction to the con- | gregation. Later on some of the wealthy members of the flock thought they discovered he was not powerful | enough at exhorting, and they gently | hinted that a change would be for the better. As one lady member put it: | “Brother Wickham would make a first- | class farmer, but I don’t think much | of his abilities as a preacher.” Accordingly, Brother Wickham was asked to resign, but backed by the ma- Jjority of his flock, he refused to do so. It was during an animated d:-cussion of the pros and cons of this weighty subject that Elders Speddy and T .om- son lost their tempers and the invita- tion to- adjourn to the anteroom was given. i The minority refuses to discuss the | trouble, but all assert that they had ample reason for asking for “Brother” Wickham’s resignation, and say that has been given the Ministers’ “We loved our pastor, and were well sald a leader of the majority last night; “so why should we want to part with him? His preaching suited us, and when it came to a ques- tion of disruption we followed him, against his advice. Seven or eight wealthy members of the congregaticn have been a disturbing element for a | long time, and with them is the Rev. Henry V. Morgan. The latter gentle- | man opet ¢d a branch of his temperance saloon in Alameda to-night, and now that his business is centered here I think be v:ants to be pastor of the First Church rgein. Well, he can be, so far as we are concerned. We have secured | Germania Hall, and Sunday next you will find almost the entire church there. “As things now stand, there is no pastor to the First Christian Church, | nor is there likely to be. Brother Wick- ham was prepared to officiate last Sun- | day, but he received a message from Brother Morgan to the effect that if he occupied the pulpit there would be a | rattling of dry bones that would not be to the edification of the congrega- tion. In consequence, there were no | services held, at least, not that I know of. Then we tried to hit on a compro- | mise, but = the minority held out for | Brother Wickham'’s resignation, and we were determined to stand by him, and we will.” It is, therefore, plainly to be seen that the First Christian Church of Alameda is “a house divided against itself.” TUnable to Meet Their Bills.

Yesterday was the seventy-ninth anni- versary of the founding of American Odd Fellowship in the city of Baltimore, Md., by Thomas Wildey and four others, an order which now numbers nearly 950,000 in the United States, reprasented in 10,350 lodges, including the Rebekahs. San Fran- cisco has a membership of more than five thousand, represented in thirty-two lodges, while the membership in the State is nearly thirty-two thousand. The anniversary was celebrated in all arts of California. The Odd Fellows of an Francisco, including the Rebekahs and the Patriarcns Militant, together with those of Oakland and Alameda, ob- served the day by a grand picnic at Shell Mound Park, which was given under the auspices of Canton No. 5,°San Francisco, and the Rebekah lodges. There was a good attendance of pleasure seekers, and among the visiting patriarchs in uniform were some from Canton No. 11 of Oak- ]t?llld and Can‘lnn Il\'?' 2 (}!

The hospital corps of the Fifth In- fantry, N. G. C., met last evening at Dr. O. D. Hamlin’s office and organ- ized the Sanitary Corps Association. The organization is limited to the twenty enlisted men of the hospital corps of the regiment, and the pur- pose is to have a social organization. The following officers were selected: President, Dr. 0. D. Hamlin; vice-pres- ident, J. Gatter; secretary, William Moskoman; treasurer, Charles Harris; recruiting committee, J. H. Robinson, chairman, Charles Anderson and Charles Harris. Dr. J. H. P. Dunn is a ranking ma- Jor in the corps, Dr. O. D. Hamlin a captain, and Dr. George L. Painter a steward. The ranks of the corps are now filled and they have a large num- ber of applicants for any vacancies which may occur now that active ser- vice is anticipated.

The relation of woman’s nerves to the womb and its dependencies is very close.
