C. M. Sheldon Talks at Congregational Church. The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka, occupled the pulpit of the First Church at the morning his discourse bein, Congregational services vesterday, which fl'hd lhe sacred edifice to its ut- Mr. Sheldon chose for his text Matthew vi: from the twentieth century version of the New Testament. The | sermon, or rather the talk, was entirely | devoid of any attempt at oratorical flight, the language being simple in the extreme. He dwelt at great length upon the words uttered by the Savior on the Mount to the effect that it was his one idea to try the establishment of a heavenly king- dom on earth; that it avas not his inten- tion that the truth should be housed up within the individual and that it should stop with the prayers of the man while he is in the house of God, but that it should be carried into all things we do In the daily walks of life. THE GREAT QUESTION. “The great question of this great Re- public should not be of its navy or of its army or of its great national bulld- ings,” he sald, “but it should be that grand question, the kingdom of God. In the early days of the settlement of | this coast the Jesuit Fathers came out in a as they were concerned they extended and spread the truth immediately In and about their walls—we must go further “God gave us everything—the ore from which we build our railroads, the forests which we transfer into our buildings and the materials with which we construct our cities—all these things God gave us name. Not only into our individual life, but into the whole nation’s life must the word be instilled, for blessed Is the na- tion whose God is the law. Jesus came first to set up the kingdom in the human heart, from which it was to go out and be emulated by the peoples of the earth as a whole. “Jesus set up no rules, neither did he offer any form of church worship in de- tail, but he gave us that great funda- mental principle, ‘Be eager about His kingdom,” and on these lines we must do our work, and to do s0 we must have a consuming passion to do the will of God. “The church does all it can, but it can- not do everything unless it has the full support and assistance of those who par- take in and who attend its meetings, not only during the hours of worship, but | during all the hours of the Sabbath day. noteworthy character. A special interest them, for the reason erson’s visit to this city in 1571 he preached in the old Unitarian Church on Geary street from the same identical pulpit over which the addresses were de- livered yesterday in the new church, cor- ner of Geary and Franklin strects. Another feature which especially en- deared his memory to the congregation of was attached to that during Em- take the man of business affairs. The first thing when he arises he demands the Sunday papers; he scans them all through carefully, read- ing all the latest soeial topics of the da the last baseball scores, the political sit- uations and news from abroad; he rushes through his breakfast and then rushes off to church. After church he goes for a drive; he calis upon his friends, he goes out to dine and again rushes to the house of worship, and returning home again, delves into the absorbing and sensational topics of the day, regaled by modern and up-to-date journalism. ALL OF THIS IS WRONG. Now this is all wrong,” the pastor sald. “Sunday should be entirely a day of prayer and thoughts devoted to matters of a religlous character and—do as I do— let the news of the Sunday papers wait until Monday before it is read.” To purify the newspaper of the day H was suggested that the proprietor, the city editor, the editorial staff, the lineo- typers and all interested in its publica- tion should assemble in early prayer, which would place them in the proper frame of mind before beginning the work of the day. The business man should also pursue a similar course, and with these ends in view the great light and truth would be disseminated broadcast throughout the width and breadth of the land, all taking up the ery, “First be er about His kingdom,” and with this s 2 standard motto only good things could come. A fervent prayer wound up the discourse, and in closing hé exhorted his hearers to seck for the truth, that on the final day of judgment they should all hear the words of the gospel, *“Well done, enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” For a practical example, In the afternoon Dr. Sheldon spoke at ' the Central Methodist Church, and in the evening he assisted at Calvary Presby- terian Church, ————— Favorite Brand of Champagne. Speaking of champagnes, Pommery is recognized by connoisseurs throughout the world as the highest grade of cham- pagne. It was served at the banguet glv- en in honor of the President by the Union League Club in San Francisco on May 14 and was also selected exclusively Tor the President’s banquet on April 3 at Mil- waukee. This goes to show that Pom- mery is always to be found at prominent gatherings where the expenditure of money is no consideration and where the best of wine is served. ———— Arbor Day at Anderson Academy. Arbor day takes the place of graduation day at the Anderson Academy, at Irving- ton. Saturday last was the day selected, and the young men of the graduating class planted their trees in the presence of some hundred or more Invited guests. Afterward there was a luncheon on the broad lawn and dancing in the school gymnasium. ——— e Photographers Will Organize. All of the prominent photographers in this city and Alameda county propose forming an organization of some kind and for that purpose a meeting will be held in the hall of the Academy of Sciences building to-morrow night, to which all in- terested in the matter are Invited to at-! tend. ———————— Trapper’s Oil cures rheumatismand neuralgia.

Horatio Stebbins, whose memories are so highly revered and hal- lowed by all those who have been asso- ciated with the church since it was founded in this State. It was not surprising, therefore, that the sacred edifice was filled to its utmost capacity long before the appointed hour. | many being compelled to stand during the entire ceremonies, which the usual set form of service and song, which, however, in honor of the occasion, were of a particularly elaborate charac- ter. The chief features of the ceremonial were the scholarly addresses upon the life doings and wri of the essayist, n, poet and philosopher. The Rev. Bradford Leavitt delivered the introductory ad- dress, taking for his theme “‘Emerson and Rellgion,” which gave him ample opportunity to delve into a subject with which he thoroughly familiar and to which he did full justice. He told of | his early life, of his simple character- istics, which only made his powerful sayings and writings seem all the more powerful. He closed his remarks by, quot- ing from William Dean Howell's “Im- pressions of Emerson” as follows: Of all the Americans dedicated to philosephy, in that large meaning which includes esthe _he seems to me the most proper Amieri- an type, Abra: most like the supreme Americ ham Lincoln, of Whom one who had seen both could not help noting. Next to Lincoln, there are reasons why he Should have wider and fuller recognition than ®lmost any other American_ for he interpreted the American spirit in homely images and instances as po- etically true to it as the point ahd pith of Lincoln’s stories were humotously true to it. Fmerson talked in tropes and Lincoln in par- ables, as all America still talks, Professor H. Morse Stephens, from the University of California, chose for his subject “The Influence of Emerson on Modern English Literature, Especially on Kipling,” and President David Starr Jor- dan spoke on ‘“‘Emerson’s Conception of | Fate as Compared with that of Darwin.” BiG GATHERING ATTENDS PRESENTATION OF FLAG The presentation of a flag by the La- dies’ Auxiliary to the Young Men's He- brew Assoclation was the occasion for a festive gathering at the assoclatlon's au- ditorium last night. The flag is to be the | emblem of the organization and is to be placed above the building on Page street. | Tts colors are white and blue, with the letters, “Y. M. H. A.” In presenting the flag to the association, Mrs. M. Rush said that the emblem was not one of war, but was intended as an. emblem of peace, harmony, unity, friend- ship, religion and patriotism to their country—America. For, said Mrs. Rush, ;no one will gainsay that the Jews, no matter under what flag they may have lived, have always been patriotic and true {to the flag and true to the countries where they have made their’ abiding place. | ADVEPTISEMENTS SPROATS MARKET A list of less than wholesale prices for you to select from, commencing this morn- ing, with this great big wholesale stock at your dizposal and at these prices you Lelp-but to buy your groceries here, Which ‘means that with & doltar in_hand at this big store you can buy as many gro- ceries as you can for a dollar and a half where (hey ure to be charged: 85 cases 3-1b, Bartlett Pears, 3 for..25e¢ .

Rare Compound of Wisdom and Advertisement Ex- pounded by the Seer. A dash of Epicurus, a generous sea~ soning of Voltaire, a little sauce of Omar Khayyam and a conglomerate essence of Herr Most—this was the potpourri of phi- losophy served to an audience at the Al- hambra last night by Arif Savay, execu- tive officer and member of the Supreme Council of the Amritist Society. The learned seer is reputed to be a Persian by direct descent, a representative of & philosophic sect which flourished beneath desert palms before the plumbing contract for Cheop’'s pyramid was let and an au- thority on labor unions, affinities, social amenities and religious rebuses. “‘Success” was the title of the lecture which drew a large audience of get-rich- quick enthusiasts. It was a ‘“souvenir” lecture free to all, without even a collec- tion for the benefit of indigent Amritists, so that the Salvation Army and Sociahl istic meetings on the street corners suf- | fered a severe loss in audiences who were eager to listen to some new things. It was a new thing with the label stlll! unremoved which was pr nted to the curiosity seekers by Arif Savay last night. | A quiet-looking young man, dressed in a | nondescript costume of a Parisian or Pa- | than faker, overtopping simple Amerlum| patent leather shoes, modestly announced | himself as Arif Savay, direct descendant of a line of Persian seers, who stood pre- pared to disclose the royal road to suc- cess. The audience was visibly moved at this tour-de-force. Arif then launched into his subject with |a strong South Tennessee accent. He first put himself on speaking terms with his audience by anncuncing that there was no God, no Devil, no bubbling brim- | stone, no pearly gates. “I need not angels or spirits of evil, prophets or priests to hinder me in this world,” said Arif. “The place to be happy is here; the time to be happy is now. Too long have men been blinded by the | superstitions of priesteraft. I know not whence I came, nor why, nor whither am I gotng.” Having tried a homeopathic dose of Omar Khayyam upon his listeners, the seer from the Old World dipped into a little of the red flag propaganda. “The social evil Is that evil which pre- vents our success,” said he. “What | chance has a poor man to enjoy life when |our social life is confined only -to the rich? The trust—that hideous monster— is feeding upon the tears and sweat of our fellows. We are abject slaves to wealth and don't know it. Our poor men | have to herd Into saloons for the com- | panionship which alone they crave there. At this juncture about one-third of the | audience got up and left. Arif awaited | | thelr departure witk the resigned smile of | a martyr and then announced with a | tragic voice that in his efforts to redeem mankind he would stand, though the heavens roll up like a scroll and the earth tremble beneath his patent leathers. “Our success depends upon our finding | our affinities,” sald the modern Confucius, “We must discover our affinities in busi- ness as well as in marriage. Men must harmonize to agree. But above all we must co-operate to remove the social and | economic evils which prevent suxcgss.| This and affinity is all we need.” | More of the audience thought that was about all they needed and took a hasty departure; but not before the Anglo-Per- slan philesophical specialist had launched { into a glaring account of how, for the in- significant sum of $2, invariably in ad- | vance, one could be a happy Amritist and learn anything from Ziopathy to sign painting on the ancient As ian co-op- erative plan, which was doing business when Moses was cutting his teeth.

None of them was positive about | Williams, because he is supposed to have | ! been the one who made the small pur- | | chase a few minutes before Hansted en- j tered, asking for a $10 note to send in | a letter to his mother. They explained | the fact by saving that they took no par- | ticular notice of the man who made the | purchase. The first one to identify Hansted was Mrs, Fleisher, who has a bakery at 121 Valencia street. Then followed Miss Rosie | Hageman, emploved in a bakery at 108 | Ninth street; Mrs.’ R. Durning, who has a bakery 324 Polk street; Mrs. William Quinn, grocery, 413 Fifth street, and Paul Rutten, who has a delicatessen store at 52 Sixth street. Each was the loser of $10 and a dozen eggs{ The officers found four dozen eggs in the room occupied by Hansted and Willilams on Market and Stockton streets. Five charges of petty larceny by trick and device will be booked against Hansted, besides the | charge of obtaining goods by false pre- tenses from the Quong Wing Tai Co., 320 Kearny street. ————— The Question Is, Not so much what you buy, but the| Kknowledge that you are well repaid in sat- isfaction with your purcnase.
