The speaker then traced in brief review e ] his father embodied in the precepts to “hold your tongue, saw wood, pay yo bills, mind our own business and take t a bad religlon after . he said. and one which he had tried never to forget. He reviewed his educ. tion as an orphan under the direction of two aunts, who strove to inculcate in him the precepts of Methodism. he studied as he pleased, read what he liked and wa romantic and music, painting, ure. The charm of distance, he said, was upon him. He felt tha Methodism wa he found himself splendor of the cold cinal Episcop: church. He determined to bécome a min- ister and entered the Mount (‘al\‘arr The- ological Seminary of the Kpiscopal church. He graduated and after ordina- | tion as a minister served in several churches, striving wherever he went to introduce ritualistic features and meeting everywhere with stern and uncompromi ing opposition. “I felt that I was said, “and I knew right the others of my falth were wrong. 1 felt that there could not be one God for me and another for another, and nowhere would I compromise with what 1 believed to be right.

At last T had the sanctuary fo: which I had been secking. The sanctu ary with its beauties of art and music, stations of the cross, its lamps, its vestments, its confessionals an its masses. _And again my spiritual adviser, Father Prendergast, a Jesuit priest, was with me. I felt now that I must offer a solution for the spiritual doubts which presented themselves to me or accept the answer which the Catholic Church had given. T was called upon to answer that desperately important question that bef?irv us all: ‘Which road is the right rgad?” ‘I was in the hell of doubt. T was de- termined to find out and answer the ques- tion of identity, to tell for myself wfilrh church i8 always, evérywhere and for everybody. And the answer to me was the Cathoile Church. T took off my pur- ple stole and declared that I had worn it for the last time. I left my church and went to Europe, there to remain for some time in an agony of unrest. ing me that she and our children had en- tered the Catholic church. “And then T was told to go home and in my children's faces read my vocation.

Huntington Will Leave for New York | To-Day or To-Morrow, Stop- ping at Carson to Make Investigation. ! LS el | Collis P. Huntington will leave this city for the East either to-day or to-morrow. | He will not go directly to New York, but will stop over at Reno and make a hasty investigation of the new northern terminal of the late adjunct of the Southern Pa- cific system, the Carson and Colorado rail- road, which runs from Carson City to Keeler, in Southern California. About two months ago the road passed into the hands of the Southern Pacific Company and became a part of the great system. Isolated as a railroad, the Carson and Colorado line is a property that brings in less than its operating expenses. As a part of the Southern Pacific network of steel rails it is of great value, and when Huntington finishes his Trvue-nl scheme in regard to this road it will give him a route | Bast direct from Southern Californta over the Central line, thereby ridding the com- pany of the disadvantages of several hun- dred miles of extra travel for both pas- senger and freight traffic. The Carson and Colorado road is narrow | gauge. Its terminus is at Keeler, about | 150 miles from Mojave. According to the lans of Huntington, a broad gauge road s to be built from Carson to Keeler and | connections to be made from that point to Mojave, which means the building of an ;m(fnhmal road about 130 miles in length. As the Colorado line is but 293 miles long, the aggregate will be less than 450 miles, some ninety miles shorter than the South. ern Pacific road from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It is undoubtedly the intention of Hunt- ington to extend the new road to Reno, Where it will joini the Central overland. . Altogether this is a shortening of about 350 miles from the southern part of the State to the East over the Central line. —_—— SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB TO ENTERTAIN FRIENDS Literary Committee Preparing a Pro- THE SOUTH QVER of the best talent in the city has been se- cured and a programme of rare excellence Is assured.
