EVERY BEST GIFT. Father O'Ryan took his text from the Epistle of 8t James: “Every best gift end every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of love, wi whom there is no change nor shadow of alteration.” The reverend father began by saying that in such times as these we realized |the truth of the apostle’s words that every best gift and every perfeot gift was from above. -, “We have seen this beautiful oity SWepl away by a most terrible catas- trophe,” he added. “We saw the work and the savings of fifty years orumble into ashes, and we assemble before the {eltar lifting our hearts In prayer to | God and know that the best and most perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of love, in whom there is no change nor shadow of al- teration.

' MISSION CHURCH 10 BE REBUILT |Handsome Edifice Will Be Erecied at Dolores and Sixteenth 'Traditions of the Histeric Parish Are fo Be Pr@d. His Grace Archbishop Riordan, the |head of the Catholic church on this | coast, 1s showing advanced ideas in the | plans he is formulating for the rebuild- |ing ef the churches destroyed by the fire. After a consultation with Father Cummings, pastor of the Mission Do- lores Church, it has been practically decided to rebuild at Sixteenth and Dolores streets in keeping with the modern spirit which is actuating the property-owners at the present time. ‘While the original old adobe church, which has stood since the early days of the city, was practically uninjured, the recently built church was badly | damaged. Instead of rebuilding this new church on its former lines it will be torn down and a splendid edifice will take {ts place. The proposed new edifice will be modern in all ith ap- | pointments, and, to preserve the tra- | Sitions of the parish, will be of the Old Misslon style of architecture. The original mission, around which cluster such wonderful memories, will be pre- served intact, and the new edifice will be modeled In keeping with its lines. The members of the parish have not been badly scattered by the fire which burned along its edges. This insures representative congregations when services are resumed in the Old Mis- sion Church, which will be within a brief period. et e ALAMEDA NOW GETTING BETTER TRAIN SERVICE Southern Pacific Company Begins Oper- ating Over the “Loop” System from Oakland Mole.

Trains starting from ‘the Alameda mole travel the reverse of the route described. It had been planned by the Southern | Pactfic to .asutute the “loo; system some time ago, but because of the dam- age done to the Alameda mole and the fer: depet thereon repairs had |made and the inauguration of the pre- posed schedule was delayed. Hereafter the Alameda mole is to be used exclu- | sively for local trains and ferry service for this city and Alameda. The through {trains that have been operated from the Alameda mole over the old narrow ge road to San Jose and Santa Cruz will ne longer leave or enter Alameda. These trains now depart from and return to the Oakland mole, crossing over from the main line to the old narrow gauge road, |now standardized, by the way of Ban Lo- renze cutoff. af- | el T T R San Leandro Gets Coln.
