GREAT FORWARD MOVEMENT.

"Under thes conditionsq, it seems to me that you are prepared for a. great forward movement under another- leadership, and that I would not be doing you any serious injury by withdrawing from my office and permitting you to secure a minister who would feel called to prepare two sermons each week and to engage in regular pastoaal visitation as well as carry the thousand little burdens that belong 10 tne me ot a modern minister in a years has the luncheon feature itself ex-church where there is only one man isted. Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills, pastor of the First Unitarian Church gave his ngxeation a surprise yesterctay tnorninaL when he read his resignation from The pulpit. The trustees had been -informed about the matter but the (congregation did not hoar the news until it was told from tiie pulpit.

Mr. Mills will take up his work In San Francisco. His letter of resignation is as follows: THE RESIGNATION. "Oakland. Feb.

15. 1902. the First Unitarian Church of Oakland Dear Brethren: For more than two years it has been my privi lege tb 'be your minister. During that period '1 have greatly rejoiced in your confidence and' the prosperity of the church. Your loyalty to the great cause in which are interested has reached a high-water mark fin the payment of your indebtedness and the celebration of freedom from this tour-den.

It seems to me that we have now arrived at a time when, -without serious detriment to your work I can resign the commission iwith which you have hnnore.1 me. ONE SERMON A WEEK. 'Thcse of ycu who were members of this society when I came to Oakland, will remember when I was ptrsl re quested to act as your minuter, that I stated that I did not think I ought to make an engagement where I would be expected to prepare more than one sermon each week, or to engage ordinary pastoral visitation. You heartily consented to these conditions and reaffirmed your endorsement four mnths later at your annual meeting. Ordinarily I would not consider this the wisest arrangement for a church tr make, but I understood the somewhat serious condition of the society and believed that I mig'ht help you to secure a position, from which your opportunities pf usefulness would 'be assured and enlarged.

My interest in you and your mission so increased that, for a time I have waived these conditions, abandoned my life of comparative seclusion, resided in a central location, responded to every call nrnde upon my time and energy, engaged in house-to-house visitation, filled the pulpit far three months on Sunday evenings, spent several weeks in the successful endeavor to assist you in RAILROAD MEN MUST BETEMPERATE Under a new order issued by Gener-ei-al Manager J.

DIFFERENT SERVICE. I am perfectly clear that I ought not to continue to devote myself to these duties, important as they may be, but that I am called to a different sort of service that demands all the energy of my heart and brain'.

Several times sinf-e I have been your minister I have received overtures suggesting calls to be extended to me to other inviting fields, which I did not feel at liberty to consider while you were still encumbered by debt. At the present time there is open to me a field of effort which is full of the greatest promise of good from the sort of service I judge myself best qualified to render. On the other hand. I do not doubt that you can find an efficient minister who will undertake to render this varied service. EFFECT IN THREE MONTHS.

'I thank you for your trust and your love and your hearty co-operation in our service to the community. I shall always count myself as one of your best friends and shall be greatly pleased if I can assist you in securing an acceptable minister, or in any other way. But as I believe that it is for the best interests of all concerned that I retire from my present position, I therefore hereby present to you my resignation to take effect 'in three months from this date. "With every good wish in your behalf. I remain.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: The Mutual Benefit Club has certainly proven itself to be what its name claims for it to the girls who are employed in Oakland stores and offices. For Oakland is unfortunately lacking in the adequate provision of appropriate places where women may spend an Interval of rest or waiting, arid the chief object of the Mutual Benefit Club is to supply such a place for the accommodation of working girls during the noon hour. The reading room of the Public Library Is of course at 'the disposal of the public, but Jt does not give opportunity to the working girl to indulge in the freedom which she craves by reason of the very nature of her employment. Appreciating the exigencies of the case the Young Women's Christian Association about six years ago provided a noon-day resi for these girls, at their home on Franklin street, and the Mutual Benefit Club was established. There they might go, take their lunch, enjoy all ithe freedom of their own homes and rest com- fortahlv.

Rut onlv durinft the last two In a pretty, low-roofed cottage on the 'corner of Jefferson and Thirteenth streets, tiffin just out of reach of the noise of traffic, at the middle of the day when-a voice from "the deoartment of the interior" rips "pmivtv" and thp fatieue.of a morn ing's steady work in a busy store or of- fice makes a few moments of relaxation necessary to the completion of the day's activities, forty or tifty girls assemble daily. There for the pittance ft tnree cents a day in addition to the membership dues Of ten cents monthly, they may sit down pretty little tables with snowy white cloths and partake of an appetizing home luncheon. Or, if they prefer, they may bring their own lunch as formerly, and have the use of the cook stove with out additional cost. This, instead of the considerably more expensive restaurant meal, whose name speaks for itself, or the home-prepared lunch, eaten in the same atmosphere and amidst the same noisy surroundings that must be endured throughout the rest of the day! The affairs of the club are managed by a Board of Directors, of which the following are members: Miss Tiliie Brown, president, Miss Mabel Gray, vio-president; Miss Kdith Larkey, secretary; Mrs. H.

S. Kergan, Mrs. R. S. Kitchener and tne Misses Nettie Stevens, Miriam Gardiner, Mabel Berry, Grace Brown and Elizabeth Gray ladie whose names are familiar in connection with Oakland'-s philanthropic enterprises.

"The girls who come here," said Mrs. Drake, the matron, whose pleasant, kindly 'manner makes her well qualified for the position that she holds, "are nice and quiet and seem to enjoy each other's society very much indeed. Our institution purports to be nothing more tiiau it is a home-like rest and the provision of a wholesome meal. And in consequence our girls are the kind tbat0care for that sort of thing. Self-supporting? Yes, entirely so.

Of course, it took some tima to learn to mnnage well and economically, but for the past few months the girls have experienced great pride and satisfaction in the fact that now as a club they are entirely independent. This is gratifying to us, for that spirit once inculcated is invaluable." On the lower floor, the dining-room, sitting-room and hall, as well as the kitchen itself, are at the disposal of the members. On the upper floor are the flreshing-rooms. The dining-room has three large windows, admitting plenty of "gnt and warmth. Hour tables are sutri- cient for the accommodation of the girls, whos inrh hours rw frnm 11 jruuieu pian-is aim iresiuy-cuuea flower? scent the room delicately and give cnarm Com- "uul vapacious suung-room, ana mere are magazines for those who care to- read.

"It's just like another home to us," said a sweet faced girl from one of the leading dry goods "It's a real pleasure to go to lunch now. When I used to have to put up with the unutterable smells and distasteful tastes at the restaurants, I felt that I would much rather go without eating at all. But here, although the dinine- room onens right into the kitchen and the door is usually open, there's never a strong or unpleasant odor. And Mrs.
