His Lordship Bishop Harding of Qu Appelle Diocese, of which Medi- cino Hat is a part, paid a visit to St. Barnabas Church yesterday and preaghed at both the morning and evening service. In the evening he took his text. from the 3rd Chapter of the Book of Genisusi 9th and 10th verse, And Adam where art thou, and Adam said-I heard Thy-voico in the garden and being afraid hid myself. Where art thou,' said the speak - er, the first question in God's Catechism, though thousands of years have passed since God asked it of Adam, he is still asking it of man, asking. the same question of every human soul, where art thou? What about your time? What about your opportunity? What about your bible reading? What about your Commun- iont What about your duty to your servant, and fellow men? and man is answering the same as Adam, I heard Thy voice and being afraid hid om With this question Where art thou? I intend to deal this even- ing, said his Lordship, and also touch on the Mission of Help coming to our assistance in October. Our answer to that question depends on our view of God. If we view Him right our answer will be right, and if we view Him wrong our answer shall be the same as Adam's. TI take it for granted that we are all memfbers of the Christian Church, that we are all children of God, and inheritors of the Kingdom of Heav- en. We have been baptised and con- firmed, we have all been made par- takers of the life of God, we all look up to him. And yet while we know it and wouldn't deny it, there has been very little peace and joy, very little power in our prayers, we haven t surrendered ourselves to God, body and soul. The trouble is wo have a wrongrconception of God. We. call Him our Father, but we don t, look up to Him, not as wedo to our, earthly father. If we did, why then have we strayed? Why have we done things we should not have done a left undone things we should have donc. Large numbers attend church and receive Communion, but they don't go apy farther, , We won't talk of Christ or. of the Bible; infact it is hard for strangers to know that we are Christians. , We belong to the greatest church in Christiandom and yet thousands of our members are indifferent. I have to admire those men and wo- men of the Salvation Army, who stand on the street and confess their faith before men. The devil comes to us and tells us, Don t do anything, if you do you will have so many things to give up, and then people get the idea that Christ is looking down to see what we do wrong and punish us for it. The speaker then cited cases at the R. M. College, Kingston, in- which young men want- ed to know if they would have to give up cards,. dancing - amd smoking if they were confirmed. I told them, said the speaker, to talk it fover with their parents. If they were too far-away, to talk it over with their Heavenly Feather; to consider whether. or not they were doing any- thing that would shame tient in the face to God; to determine whether if by going to dances Sixty-two years ago, come today, Sept. 8; 1850, was Admission Day not only for the State of California, but also for two of the most distin- guished newspaper editors of Ameri- ca. On that date Victor Freemont Lawson, editor and publisher of the Chicago Daily News, was born in the city where he later, achieved fame and fortune, and simultaneously, oF thereabouts, Rienzi Melville John- ston, president,- editor and chief stockholder of the Houston, Texas, Post, arrived in the world by way of Sandersville. Ga. Mr. Lawson was educated at Phil lps Academy -at Andover, Mass., and then took charge of a printing estb- Hshment, in which his father s estate held an interest. He was only. twenty-six when he bought the lt; cago Daily News. That publication had issued its first number less than a year before, under the management of Melville Elijah Stone, now the manager of the Associated general e Press, Mr. Ston became,a partner cf Mr, Lawson inthe enterprise, and together, by dint of hard work and the burning of much midnight oil, they developed the News into one of the best newspaper properties in Chicago. They started a morning edition in 1881, In 1888, because of health, Mr. Stone decided to fajling retire, and Mr. m Decame the sole proprietor. Retaining the name Bishop Harding on His Annual Visit to St.Barnabas Church : His Lordship Preached Powerful Sermon at the Evening Services Admonished all to Attend Mission God eatied unto Adam, and said need not Texas. When he in they were going to places that they woukl not take their mother or sis ters. Another time they played cards in the Chapel, and one said that they must not let it be known. told him, said the speaker, that there was nothing that went on in the Chapel ut God's blessing 8 called down upon it and that he be-afraid to publish it broad-cast. Many people, continued the speaker, have a wrong concep- tion of God. They think that to be a good Christian and follower of Christ, they must go around with a stiff face; that they must give up everything that there is now joy in; that-religion is a religion of sorrow. But it is not religion that brings sorrow. It is a religion that. puts the silvery lining in every cloud. Because of this wrong conception : of God, because we think he is always ready to condemn us, is the reason, I think, why many of us do not take an-active part in Christ s work. Tf such is the case we should put away that wrong conception. Christ is always ready to help you, always ready to forgive. Men go along to the middle of life. Up to that time they have hop- ed that the things contained in the Bible aye not true. Then they say: T've given up the best part of my Jife to the wotld; it's too late.now. They don't go bad but just go along in the old way. Why is that? ask- ed the speaker. I think they are afraid that God is ready to punish them. The decil tells them that God is anxious to punish and condemn, not to bless and forgive. They stay away from the sacraments, away from the chureh, forget prayer, and then they forget their religion al- together. God loves the soft heart. He's ever ready to forgive. So instead of ay, come unto Him, There is always joy among the angels in tho presence of God every time a sinner repenteth. When the shepherd loseth his lamb he goes to hunt for it, and when he recovers, he calls all to rejoice with him over its recov- ery. When the housewife loseth. the coin, she searches diligently and when she recovers it she calls her neigh- bors to rejoice over the recovery of it. The speaker told the parable of the prodigal son, the ungrateful child who demanded his share, and then left home, and of the father's warm welcome to him on his re- turn. The speaker brought his point home to his audience in a most vivid mann r by telling of a scene he wit- nessed by the meeting of a father with his son while the latter await- ed the sentence of death. How the fa- ther, immediately after'he entered the death cell, threw his. arms about the son. If, we do wrong said the speak- er, We should not stop away but. come straight back to God and con- fess our'sins to Him, He is just and faithful, ever ready to forgive and: receive us back. The father forgave Jhis murderer.son for whatever wrong he bad done, but our earthly father and mother are not to be compared with our Heaveily Father, and so, said the speaker, do not be afraid to come during the mission, ask God for-new life; ask Him to.draw you closer to Him, and let no man ever. answer, I was afraid, and hid. my- self. To-morrow Is Birthday of Two Great Editors he changed the name of the morning issue to the Chicago Record. Later a merger was offected with the Tiraes-Herald, and in 1901 it became the Chicago. Record-Herald, Mr. Lawson's first and last loye remained the Dally News. Edited along some- whet conservative lines, and devoid of sensationalism, the News is im- mensely poplar among the masses of Chicag6 and vicinity, and has at tained a circulation fat greater than that of any other Chicago paper, with one exception. Mr. Lawson has been prominent in philanthropic work fn the windy city, and was the four- der of the Lincoln Park Sanitarium for the sick poor children, Rienzi Melville Johnston was but a and mark,-and-the-Moustentan will tell you that the marvellous growth has been due, to a considerable ex tent, to the Houston Post.

CALIFORNIA'S DAY TO CELE- BRATES Stockton, Cal., Sept. 9. The sixty- second anniversiry of the admtssfott ot California to the Union was ob- served here today with a mammoth celebration under the auspices of the Native Song of the Golden West. Hundreds of members of the organi- zation and others visitors from all over the State were in attendance.

LARGE NUGGET Is FOUND Miners Helped in Their . Work by Washouts, Gold Located in Unexpected Places. - Seward, Alaska, Sept. 4 Neyer In the history of the Kena peninsula has there been as much rainfall as during the past three months, The rivers of the peninsula are all run- ning bank full and bridges are being washed away as fast as they can be repaired. The Glacier stream that furnishes the, town of Seward with water and power for an electric plant has been on a rampage during the past week amd has washed out the two bridges that connect the business part of Seward with the residence section, Bridge Washed Out It has also washed out the bridge of the Alaska Northern Railway and trains are now leaving from the north end until the damage can be repaired. The pipe line of, the electric plant has been washed out and Seward has been in darkness for the past three nights and will be for at least a week or until the pipe line can Be repaired. The continuous. fall of rain has brought about many small landslides, in the hills, and the section crews have been busy keeping the right of Nay; Slens orr tie Ataoks .Northorn Railway. As a general rule the placer miners are pleased with a wet sea- son, but this year there has been so much Tain that they have been: han- dicap) Their ditches have been washed out in many instances and the creeks have been so high that many have been sluicing with diffi- culty, although with very good regults in many instances. Fine Nugget. On Bear Creek above Sunrise, Hoben and Davis picked up the lar- gest nugget that has been found on the Kenai peninsula in the past ten years, in their last clean-up. The slug of gold welghed close to 244, and contains some rose quartz. The Hoben and Davis clean-ups have been running uniformly, good all this sea- son and this year will be the, best that they have had since they start: ed working at the Bear Creek camp. The Kenai Mining and Milling Company at Coper Creek, are work- ing two crews ht present and are cleaning up every week with gratity- ing results, At the present time they are working in a high channel and are wetting a coarse rum of gold that averages heavier than any that they have encotntered in the past. The Empire drill that Professor Milnor Roberts is using on the lower Kenai-is not heavy enough to handle the Wash: but the results have been So satisfactory that a large Key stone drill has been-sent for and will be used on the ground as soon as it arrives.

LARGEST SIZE Empres of Russia and Em. press of Asia to Control Oriental Traffic. Vancouver, Sept. 9. Will the new .P.R.-Oriental liners, Empress of Russia and Empress of Asia, which start in the trans-Pacitic service next spring, control the bulk of the rich shipments of silk from the Orient to this coast? Thib is a is aateresting localishipping men, and the general opinion is that the new vessels, which are tovhave a guar- anteed speed of twenty-one knota an hour, will undoubtedly handle nearly all the silk rought to America from the Far Bast when they commience operations. QUICK HANDLING. While the rate for handling the silk has. sme. heari : big shipments of raw silk, which are sent overland to New York, the prin- cipal feature is the speed with which the material can be landed in the market. The quicker it is handled the better the price received, and as the new steamers. of the C.P.R. are to make the passage of the Pacific a couple of days faster than any ves- sels now: operating between the Orient and the west coast; it is be lieved that the traffic, whith has been turning to Puget Sound ports via the , Blue Fannel steamers. will. be brought Back to British Columbie ports by the mew Empress liners. The Empress of Russia, which was launched. by the Fairfield Shipbuild- ing and Exigineering company on the Clyde last Wednesday, is a qatatial three- liner with a cruiser stern, of 14,500 tons'register. She is to have a speed*of 21 knots'on her trial trip and is guaranteed to main- tain an average speed at-sea of nine- teen knots an hour. The sister liner of the Empress of Russia, the Em- press of Asia, is now under construc- tion and will be Tatinched about the end of the month. With theso-steam- ers speeding at nineteen knots an hour between Yokohama and Van- couver, it is possible to mpke the. voyage in a little over nine days. SPEED UNBEATEN. The fastest time recorded across the Pacific was made by the R.M.S.+y Empress of Japan on a trip twelve years xgo, when she made the pas- sage in ten days and ten hours be tween Yokohama and Victoria. When the Pacific Mail liner Korea entered the service -an effort was made to break the record, but the Korea oc- cupied ten days, eleven hours and twenty minutes on the run. The nearest approach in size and speed to the new Empre sses of the C.P.R., are the Tenyo Maru and Chiyo Mara, of the Toyo Kisen Kai. sha, which are of 12,500 tons regis- ter. hb bb eb ee he oh bh eek + + - * + + Pb ebb bbb bbb NOTE While we welcome all com- munications from our readers, we wish it to be thoroughly understood that we do not. necessarily sub- scribe to or endorse the opinions expressed by our correspondents.

Should the-question come up-tomorrow in the shape of a bylaw to erect at once an electric railway in the city it would be voted for almost as unan- imously as was the appropriation for water extensions and chiefly for the reason that the people in general have such great faith in our present council. They do not reason ont the great responsibility involved. There is no question but the time has arrived when the city 8 in the sorest need of an electric railway, and in order to develop the city as every. citizen would like, there must be something done in this direction in the immediate future. I learn from an authorative source that the city has lost one industry, at least, in congequence of not having the proper transportation facilities from th: proposed works to the business and residential part of the city. It is quite apparent that mechanics and laborers will. not settle and make homes where fuel, light, water and cheap transportation are not avail. able from the city supply, and of course the manufacturers take these factors into account when anticipat- ing the location of a factory. The above fs but a prelude to what I-started out to say, and that Is in reference to a street and semi-int urban electric car lines.

John Jacob Astor, divorcee, and the richest landlord in Amerfea, took as his bride the lovely eighteen-year- old Madeleine Force. The ceremony Was performed at Beechwood, the Colonel's Summer residence at New- port, R. I.; and followed violent de- nunclations heaped upon Col.
