QUAKERS COME TOGETHER N A CRARD REDNION Big Rally of the Soci-| ety of Friends. —_— CHASM BETWEEN CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS. e Silent Workers Accomplish Much Good Among the Needy and De- serving—Maintains Free | School for Children. il Several hundred members of the Society of Friends held a reunion at Swarthmore Hall on Harrison street yesterday. It was one of the largest gatherings of Friends held in this city for many years, and the meeting house was crowded to such an | extent that it became necessary to re- move the temporary partition by which the interior of the building is divided. Rev. 'Isaac Wilson of Ontario, Canada, was the leader of the rally, and it was the fame of this well-known Quaker orator that brought together the large gathering. Swarthmore Hall is a duplicate of the meeting-houses of the Friends' in New England and Eastern Canada, and caused Brother Wilson to remark that it almost seemed like being at home. Its windows are of many small panes, the roof is very low, and the ceiling is of weather-stained cheese-cloth. The platform contained no seats that were more comfortable than those In the body of the hall. Some of the women wore the Quaker bonnet, such as has been seen in prints of a century past. Altogether, the scene was quite unique in the religious life of San Francisco. Rev. Joel Bean of San Jose presided, and in a brief speech reterred to the visitors who had come three thousand miles to onduct a ¥riends revival, O After a briet period of silence, Rev. Isaac Wilson commenced a forceful ad- dress which lasted nearly an hu.ur, STt {s the custom of the Soclety of | Friends,” he sald, “'to subordinate the hu- man_intellige to the divine will, and [think that such a practice needs no | | apology or " justification.” Certainly no ) mind or soul in touch with God ever walts | long for an inspiration in an age where there 18 so much of God's work to do.

M C A CELEBRATES ITS FORTY-SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY President Rolla V. Watt Presides and Rev. John Hemphill Delivers an Eloquent Address, Tracing the Great Progress of Christianity During Two Hundred Vears. XERCISES commemorative of the forty-seventh anniversary of the Young Men's Christian Association on this coast were held yesterday afternoon in the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian Association building, on the corner of Mason and Ellis streets. President Rolla V. Watt presided and opened the meeting with a few re- marks appropriate to the occasion, in which he took the opportunity of call- ing the attention of the audlence to the fact that the members of the New York branch of the association wera also holding their forty-seventh anni- versary exercises. The San Francisco and New York divisions of the asso- ciation are the oldest ones on the American continent, with the excep- tion of the division in Montreal, Can- ada. Following President Watt's address a hymn was sung by the entire congre- gation. Then a scripture lesson was read, which was followed by a prayer by Rev. John Carrington of Sia After that General Secretary H. J. Mc- Coy made a statement of the condition of the association. In his statement Mr. McCoy called attention to the splendid showing made by the associa- tion. He showed that the member- ship had reached the satisfactory num- ber of 1426, which was an increase of 300 over the number of members re- ported for 1898. He also spoke of the advantages enjoyed by those belonging to the association and of the facilities offered them for moral, intellectual and physical improvement by the reading- rooms, gymnasium, night school, salt -water baths and the literary and de- bating societies, as well as by the nu- merous. other adjuncts. He spoke of the debt on the building. which he said amounted to $107,000, and stated that it was the intention of the board of directors to reduce that debt as much ad possible during the ensu- i : % BARK FERRIS THOMPSON HAS A CLOSE CALL Nearly Turns Turtlein the Creek. A Rush to Purchase Vessels for the Cape Nome Trade—Brig Harriet G. Sails for Honolulu ‘With Fodder. —e The old hark Ferris 8. Thompson again in trouble. For over three months she has been playing in hard luck and last Saturday it looked at one time as though the end of the old craft had come. While making port from Puget Sound the Thompson drifted on to the *‘potato patch” and after considerable trouble was towed off by the steamer Homer. As soon as the cargo of lumber was discharged the vessel was put on the drydock and examined. It was found necessary to re- calk her and make some minor repairs. Saturday a full force of calkers were at work on the bark. Suddenly the Thomp- son began to list over and before the workmen could escape the port rail was under water and about a dozen calkers were swimming for their lives. Those who were working on the starboard side of the vessel slid down to the kee], which came up out of the water as the port rail went down, and walking along it made their escape ashore. After some hard work | the bark was got on an eveu keel again and to-day the work of calking her will be completed. Many of the workmen lost their tools, but nearly all of them were The Thompson will go north with the cannery fleet. The Alviso steamer F. M. Smith had a narrow escape from going down in her berth at Clay street wharf yesterday. Coming down the slough she struck a snag and sprang a leak. It was not a very serious affair and the steam- er made her landing in due time. While getting alongside she bumped hard and that opened'up the seams started by the snag and soon the water was pouring into the hull. She began to settle by the head and Captain Smith at once tele- honed for one of the red-stack tugs. The a Queen was soon alongside the sink- ing steamer and in half an hour the F. M. Smith was pumped out. The Queen then_took her in tow and beached her on the Mission mud flats. To-day the Smith will be put on the ways and overhauled, after which she will resume her run on the Alviso route. Four of the coasting fleet are making long passages and the lumber men and | ship owners are wondering if one of them has not met with a_mishap. On January 22 the British ship Samoena, when thirty miles west-southwest of the Farallones, passed & small raft of lumber that looked ilke the deckload of a schooner and also a quantity of wreckage. The schooners Abble and Western Home arrived yester- day from Coos Bay after a seven days’ run, while the Lizzie Prien took eight days to come from Coquille River. None of these vessels report heavy weather. The schooner Melancthon !s now out sixteen days and the schooner Pioneer elghteen days from Willapa Harbor, the schooner Sailor Boy eighteen days from Tacoma and the schooner Vega sixteen days from Port. Blakeley. One of these may have been caught in a blow and the crew com- pelled to cut away the deckload. This would be the extent of the damage, how- is | REV. ing year.
