Oner Rev A Brown Made Appeal for Spirit of Christ in All Legislation The lirst park union services for the sumn'tr of ilk Hi were held last evening in the courthouse park and were attended by an immense crowd which augurs well for tile success of the meetings tor the rest of the summer The services began promptly at 6:30 being opened by the Kev McKeevor of the First Christian church and president of the Ministerial union All the members of the Ministerial union occupied seats on the platform The services were of a patriotic nature The Baptist choir under the lead- ership of Harry lvinnee furnished the music and besides singing several anthems sang some patriotic songs such as The Bod White and "The Battle Hymn of the and Kev Harcourt of tlie First church made the prayer of the evening and Hr Thomas Boyd of the First church read the Scripture lesson Rev Gillespie of the United church pronounced the benediction Next Rnuday evening Hr Boyd will preacli the sermon and Kev JX Kenney of the South Methodist church will preside Rev Arthur Brown of the First Baptist church preached the sermon yesterday It was a highly patriotic one and was an apeal for the American people to make Jesus Christ the guiding spirit in all legislation The sermon is as foliows: Hxodus 18:21: thou slialt provide out of all the people able men such as fear God men of truth hating unjust pain: and place such over them to be rulers of thousands rulers of hundreds rulers of fifties and rulers of ens and let them judge the people at all The Fourth of July has become America's big brag day Swelling words of pride as to the vastness of our domains on winch the sun never sets in summer boastings as to our material wealth our fertile farms our myriad factories our fabulously rich" mines our tremendous railroad systems our hank clearances and per capita money circulation all these and more we extol but these do not make a nation great Great Tyre boasted of her Phoenician commerce of her colonies reaching from British Isles to Madagascar Tyre imported new fabrics and riches from every foreign clime Rhe even oil ciliated all the thin known nrts not as creator but as commercial- izer: yet Tyre sank to become but the pander and mercenary ghoul of the ancient world her merchants haunting even tlie battle fields to strip the dead of their effects and to buy the captives as slaves She coined mcnev out of everv known vice crime and even war itself And Tyre fell completely leaving no worthy monuments of greatness known chiefly by the vices and sins she introduced to Rome Babylon raised herself to proud eminence bv her commerce seated as queen tariff-taker on he great highway between the Indies and Europe she was magnificent with her miles of great palaces her hanging gardens and her brazen gates blit now is Babylon the great fallen vill even the angels in Revelations take up the lament for her as typifying for nil time the final failure of mere gold stacking as a satisfying national ideal Rome kept her greatness as long as strong virtue bravery law and right were her ideals and with her strong aims she conquered the world but Rome fell into luxury vice nnd decay of every manly power when wealth increased and pleasure took the place of duty indulgence the place of patriotic self-sacrifice in the ambitions of her youth Shall America follow blindly in the footsteps of every nation that has gone down to ignominious failure nnd disruption through the dominance of the craze for money pleasure nnd indulgence or shall we hold to the lofty ideals of those austere fathers who founded this nation ns a kingdom of right equality and fraternity This is no idle question but vital to our destiny The great public is already growing disgusted with mere vulgar wealth because it is largely in the hands of tlie other fellow the unscrupulous milionaire it had to lie that trusts should take us by the throat and rob us till we got cured of our old foolish spread-englo habit of boasting of mere wealth and material possessions Now we see that great riches may mean only more power for oppression lodged ill the hands of tlie wicked Our very pioldeins of today arise out of our xa-t accumulations our unparalleled riches Mme wealth has been piled up since tlie ivil War than in the previous history of tlie world A vaster immigration has brought a (treater invasion of foreigners upon us than the invasion of the Huns nnd Tartars that overthrew the Roman Empire Over a million a year of an army of toilers is landing upon our shores for the sure conquests of peace and they are changing public opinion and ideals very fast nnd tor the worse Unless incncans arouse themselves to the crisic we may become but a second edition of old Europe in social standards morals and liolitiea principles The Passion for Wealth The fever for sudden wealth lias infected our whole nation like disease till almost everything is reduced to a money standard In polities we see it in the struggle for patronage for privilege and graft for pap and fat offices at the hands of the people An ever increasing tax rate and high piled tariffs to afford an ovei flowing treasury for public improvements and pivnte pulls appalls us by its insistency on the selfish demands of machine politics In the commercial world we see it in the vast compact system of trusts corporations and companies which go on piling up exorbitant profits out of nil proportion to the normal earning value of money finding their sources of supply often in public franchises and privileges which ought to he used for the benefit of the public or in secret trade arrangements by which all competition is throttled A few thousand men today own the hulk of the wealth of this country while a few dozen men control it greatest industries like tlie railroads steel mills and oil refineries Tlie revelations ns to mismanagement in life insiiranes companies ns to monopoly in coal and oil as to filth und scandalous still believe conduct and its resultant character more important than stacking up yellow gold or old scrap iron Mo me reaching the second stage in our development as a nation just as each individual reaches it There is time when tlie babe or child thinks mainly of eating and sleeping and getting tilings to smash up Then thought awakens mind assumes superiority over body the soul arises to assert its supremacy and we say tlie man is hern Horn t'lio child So the loftier ideals that led our fathers to found the nation are coming now to the rank anil file of tlie people as new truths and in the awakening we feel the pul-e of higher le-tiny Already wo hold it dishonorable for a nation to wage war merely to get territory or money soon we shall hold it dishonorable i or a man to live and struggle merely to get money Wo shall count him truly alive who lives tor so'nethipg higher even the service he can render to his fellow men Jesus lluist came to teach of a state of society in which each should love all his neighbors and when each should live as much for lie sake of tlie others as himself For tnis ideal kingdo mof Heaven men are now awakening to strive THE ANARCHIST OF TODAY WILL RISK HIS LIFE FOR HIS PRINCIPLES OF DISINTEGRATION THE PATRIOT OF YESTERDAY GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE UNION WILL WE OF TODAY RISE TO THIS NEW OPPORTUNITY AND GIVE OUR LIVES AND FORTUNES TO HELP BRING IN THE NEW ORDER OF FELLOWSHIP AND CO-OPERATION WHEN LOVE SHALL END THE WARS OF COMPETITION? THIS WILL AFFORD A NEW LIFE PASSION FOR THOSE CHURCHES GROWN COLD AND FORMAL BY THE NARROWING OF THEIR SYMPATHIES A DREADFUL THING FOR US TO THINK MORE OF OPINIONS THAN OF LOVE MORE OF THINGS THAN OF PERSONS WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE CHURCH IS NOT THE ONLY DIVINE ORGANIZATION IN SOCIETY FOR THE STATE AND THE FAMILY ARE BOTH DIVINELY ORDAINED AND BOTH OLDER THAN THE CHURCH WHEN THE BRAINS AND CULTURE OF A COMMUNITY NEGLECTS THE CHURCH NEGLECTS THE FAMILY NEGLECTS THE GOVERNMENT FROM CITY UP TO NATION AND RESIGNS THESE DIVINE AGENCIES INTO THE HANDS OF THE WEAKLINGS OR THE DISHONEST OR THE INCAPABLE AND THE SOCIAL ORGANISM SUFFERS WHILE THESE STRONG ONES GIVE THEIR ENERGIES TO MERE AMASSING OF MONEY THEY MUST NOT COMPLAIN IF THEIR FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES ARE INVOLVED IN THE RUIN WHICH FOLLOWS INDIVIDUALS MUST SACRIFICE AND SIT ON JURIES ATTEND PRIMARIES ACT ON SANITARY BOARDS GIVE ATTENTION TO SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES BEAR THEIR COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITIES IF THE PUBLIC IS TO BE SAFE HE WHO DODGES THE BURDENS OF TAX-PAYING IJURY DUTY AND IRKSOME DE- TAILS OF POLITICS AND THEN CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR PROTECTION OF HIS PROPERTY IN FIRE OR MOB OR FOR THE SAFEGUARDING OF HIS FAMILY FROM LAWLESSNESS IS A PARASITE WILLING TO RECEIVE FAVORS FROM ORGANIZED GOVERNMENT BUT NOT WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE HIS FAIR SHARE AND HE WHO GLADLY SENDS HIS CHILDREN TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND ENJOYS THE VIRTUE QUIET AND MORALITY TAUGHT BY THE CHURCH TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEN CLAIMS TO HAVE NO DUTIES TOWARD THE CHURCH IS A SHIRK BUT SAYS ONE OBEY THE GOLDEN RULE AND STAY IN THEN MAKE A SACRI-FICE OF YOUR BUSINESS AND NOT OF YOUR SOUL AND THE RIGHT! IF SOME LOWLY RUSSIAN PEASANT CAN GLADLY GO INTO EXILE FOR WINNING FREEDOM FOR HIS COUNTRY WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO FOR WINNING BROTH I ERHOOD FOR YOUR CITY AND NATION? Merely to a not our business is not Christian but it is the selfishness rf the priest and Ievite vlio went by on the other sidp when they saw a wounded man in distress citizens be its easy to provide eomforts in common and this is public owner-hip of public utilities Tlie schools the parks the club linu-es the Chicago Commons the pleasant places the A the coffee clubs the institutional churches the Salvation Army relief and re-cue work the whole line of activities that show tlie fellowship and practical love of the churches for tho-e who have needs is the most direct evangelical religion we have to-rlnv It eo-t New York stale over one million dollars to care for the progeny of four wandering girls Better have trained and converted the girls We should not allovvymr Catholic friends to have a monopoly of brotherhood nnd sisterhoods for soeial service but should hold it most noble mini-try for those who ran to heroine the friends and helpers of nil the over-crowded overworked and neglected of our cities We luiv' the glory of having created the social problem by having fixed a higher standard of living for all till even the lowliest now craves more hooks light cleanliness nnd beauty in the home than the rich ronld have century ngo Let us help them get what we have taught them to appreciate has taught me to lie a man I now demand to he treated ns a says the toiler Wo have all risen together nnd the working-men vnnt a larger slice of pie tiinl is all They vvill not live content on the hare necessities of existence Fifty rents a dnv of fourteen hours is not enough for tlie sweat shop worker more self-sacrifice in some of these toilers who strike for sympathy with some oppressed workers than with us who lift no hand for their helping ldnnd of the oppressed splashes on those who do not Rave the oppressed ns Russian nobility may know to its cost All social questions are religions for religion is the science of our relationship with God nnd our fellow-men Churches should not selfishly build themselves up out of a community but help build the community up into the right Nothing but the church vvill do no platform without an altar no organization without Christ ns Master no social scheme without the new birth that east out selfishness and brings in the spirit of Self-sacrifice no union or coterie dial ministers but to one class or part of society but tlie church with a universal sympathy nnd love for nil can solve our greatest problems tlint arise out of the very richness of our untrammelled manhood The passion and purpose of religion is needed to give direction and energy to our social nnd political reform I see in vision a regenerated church born anew to love and helpful- file insurance companies as to rebates and favoritism in railroad rates are opening the people's eyes to the actual reign of dishonesty and robbery in those circles where honor and sacred regard for contract were supposed to reign supreme till the very confidence on which our commercial system is built is jeopardized The ruthless disregard of the rights of the toilers who pioduee the wealth on the part of capitalists who alone own the tools and machines the plants by which it is produced is awakening tlie labor union movement to such activity as will eventuate ill heir getting a slime at last of tlie protits of the enterprise ns well ns lure wages lie who looks out at the great class struggle of today and nees no portents of great events is simply a blind fatuous imbecile who see because lie don't want to This present -tate of things the supremacy of noiiey as ruler of all the rest in industry simply can't last In Russia they are on tlie edge of the abyss of revolution in England they face tlie most aggressive army of the unemployed they have ever known in Germary the Socialists give the government many uneasy hours while here in America labor is coming to its own Through the vast multiplication of machinery and concentration of the toilers in vast cities brotherhood is literally being forced on the world The gist of the labor problem is that the toiler wants to own his own tools and have an interest in the big factory while capital wants to keep absolute control of tlie tools and plant on which the laborer depends for a living Men without this control are liable to become migratory hoboes while the women earn the living at the wasli tub or tlie factory This uncertainty of work makes desertion the breaking up of tlie family easy Many the wife and children in Fresno who have been deserted when the father could not find work IN THEIR STRUGGLES FOR SHORTER HOURS BETTER SANITARY CONDITIONS FOR WORKERS THE EXCLUSION OF LITTLE CHILDRFN FROM FACTORIES AND STORES THE LABOR UNIONS ARE DOING MORE THAN THE CHURCHES FOR PROTECTING THE HOMES WE OUGHT TO DO MORE The best combination is a home-like church and a church-like home for the right training of the young We liiu-t keep the types of father mother child brother family high if we keep God and heaven high The church exists for the family and not the family for the church To forget this is disastrous for both Tlie growing separation of money and men of corporation and woikers brings us near to the mapping of the colds of brotliei hood The capitalistic classes who would destroy the labor unions are crazy for it would mean revolution There mu-t Ire a place and a platform where the two can meet each other fairly as ecpials and talk their relations over nr man with man This even Russia will have to concede Neighborly fellow ship between rieli and poor if it cannot exist under present conditions lid exist after the fne in San Francisco it can come in the disasters which sei- fishness may jet bring upon our laud It is well to remember that San Fran- cisco's awful losses were largely the fault of the boodlers who would not permit the city to put in a system of salt water mains fur tiro protection years ago So if we fail to put in tlie safety appliances ndw in tlie-e times of we may fail for lack of them in some dark hour of soeial calamity and eataeli-m It is not right to drift simply' because tlie tiouble has not yet appeared The only remedy for the deep seated canker in our national life is to heed the divine warnings in Scripture against tlie whole spirit of gieed aval ice and covetousness Men want to study and remember the tentli commandment "Thou s'ualt not covet tliv neighbor's house thou slialt not covet thy neighbor's wife nor his man-servant nor his maid-servant nor anything that is thy Instead of that men are eaten up with itching for all kinds of things that belong to their neighbors From the time that Eve coveted nnd took the fruit that belong to her down through men like Jacob coveting his brother's birth right and Achan bringing trouble on a whole army by his coveting of the spoil and Saul risking disfavor to get a few more choice cattle and Solomon eaten with lust for women and Judas betraying his Lord for money the insane tiiii'st for that which rightfully belongs to others lias wrecked hapine-s idn-tiol character and brought trouble AND TODAY WHAT A BLESSING IF THE LEADERS OF OUR TRLSTS AND MOST GRASPING MONOPOLIES COULD BE CONVERTED AND BEGIN TO OBEY THIS COMMANDMENT TO BE SURE IT WOULD HIT THE CHURCHES AND THEIR MEMBERS HARD FOR THEY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT COVETOUSNESS AND ITS GRASPING IS IDOLATRY There are coveting in society eaeli longing to get first place of honor coveting in churches each trying to gra-p some advantage over tlie other stealing away their choir singers their better workers or preachers sometimes or trying to get their best location for work Yes coveting extend everywhere hut we nm-t give them up for sake of the peace and harmony of our community of our nation Better that a few millionaires were poorer than that our nation he wrecked through the dissatisfied passions of the toilers THE WORST EXAMPLE OF COVETING WE HAVE IS IN THE LIQUOR BUSINESS WHERE FOR THE SAKE OF THE MONEY TO BE MADE MEN ARE WILLING TO SELL THAT WHICH STEALS AWAY THE REASON TURNS LOVING FATHERS INTO BRUTES FIRES THE STRONG MAN TO DO CRIME AND MURDER LEADS THE buiS INTO THE WAYS OF PASSION AND VIOLENCE BRINGS WOMAN TO SURRENDER HER VIRTUE STIRS THE HOT BLOOD OF MOBS TO TERRIELE RIOTS ENDANGERS THE PEACE OF OUR CITIES AND MAKES SUCH HAVOC IN OUR LAND T-'AT THE THREE GREATEST SCOURGES OF WAR PESTILENCE AND FAMINE CANNOT EQUAL THE DEVASTATION ALL WROUGHT FOR THA SAKE OF GAIN WE ARE FACE TO FACE WITH THE SQUARE QUESTION IN AMERICA WHAT ARE OUR GREATEST WEALTH OR MEN MONEY OR MANHOOD GOLD OR PRINCIPLES HOME OR WAREHOUSES THE FAMILY OR THE SALOONS THE CHARACTER OR THE BANK ACCOUNT OF OUR PEOPLE?

If it is reasonable and necessary it should lie paid without further quibble the nature of the work at hand demands high-class ability which must lie paid On the other hand if it is neither reasonable lior necessary if part of it goes for or if part of it is wasted because of ignorance or mismanagement the or the waste or both must be stopped regardless of whose feelings may be hurt or whose pet theories shattered The finance committee proposes to make haste slowly and has given the spverul departments until next ITidav to provide detailed statements as to how the $11100000 asked for is to lie expended This is the correct thing the only tiling to do If the estimates show iiieoinpeteney wastefulness or the incompetent tlie wasteful and the should he relieved of their positions without dolavr But if the statements show careful management nnd able administration there is nothing for the committee to do but allow the necessary funds for carrying on the work Seldom have men been charged with a greater responsibility than are 'those intrusted with tlie distribution of this relief Not only is the property of the needy in their keeping for the relief fund eniitrilinted to lie sufferers belongs to the hut the honor of San Francisco i n't Htake Let it be known that the enormous fund whn a generous world has contributed to San Franciro in her distress has been wasted or misappropriated nnd the shame of it vvill endure long after the last sear left by the fir'!
