ARRESTS SOCIALIST FOR
DISTtTREING THE PEACE
Curbstone Orator Uses Improper Lan
guage and Is Taken Into
Custody!
Sidney B. France, a socialistic agitator
who holds forth on Grant avenue, near
Market street, was arrested last night by
Policeman Royston on the charge of dis
turbing the peace. France at the time
was giving vent to Improper language.
He was also hurling abuse against the
Police Department.
- France has been so obstrepuous in his
talks that a number of his auditors have
frequently rewarded him with a rather
free contribution of stale eggs, inter
spersed with a few choice but juicy to
matoes. When taken into custody laat
night France threatened dire vengeance
if he should ever agaki be disturbed in
his diatribes.

upon man than to study the history and watch
the career of those we knew when he and
they were boys, when the shadows of life, its
struggles, its anxieties, its successes and Its
failures have overshadowed them. I have tha
advantage, I think, of every one of the gen
tlemen sitting about this 'table, because I knew
the distinguished guest of the evening when he
was a boy.
Mr. Morgan was a quiet, refined, delicately
sensitive young man, and he began life when?
his great father left off. Taught In his school,
inspired by his example, his father lived to
see him a crown in the occupation . of his
choice, a power for good wherever he went,
useful not merely In the higher walks of
finance, not merely the strengthener of the
national credit and the upholder of the na
tional power, but dealing with everything from
great questions of finance to the building of
the Columbia that has kept the cup of the
America still upon American noil.
The history of this last century has been a
wonderful one. The history of this century will
be more wonderful still. The last century has
demonstrated that this nation is one and in
divisible. It has made forever an end of human
slavery. It has developed the high energies of
a great and prosperous people, and the problem
of the coming century will be the development
of that which Is the highest and best charity,
what is beet for man to . do for man bo that
Industrial excitement shall no longer exist, that
commerce shall not be paralyzed by strikes,
ships will not be tied to wharves and bands of
marauders beat the shape of God's image out of
those who desire employment. The time is at
hand when these questions and that higher
charity will find it* development.
In many respects the American people is
the most charitable people the world has ever
known. I remember not long since reading
that the individual charities of the men of
wealth in America, not counting sums less than
$5000, for nine years ending the commencement
of this year, given for private charity, amount
ed to $300,000,000. If you add to that the benefi
cence of the Government toward the men who
suffered and fought that this nation might be
preserved it rises to the thousands of millions,
runs up into the uncountable and unmeasure
able billions of valuation. In future all chari
ties must end. and if they end they must be
repeated. If our great friend here to-night
were to take his fortune and divide it up
among the people of the country, in a few
months it would all be spent and the work
all have to be done . over again. . .
CHARITY IS RELIANCE.
Then what is the great charity? The great
charity for the coming century is that which
shall make It possible for a man to live, that
shall make it possible for him to live, to sup
port his wife and educate his children without
reliance upon anything else but God and'him
self. That time is coming and we shall make
It. We have 75,000,000 of people in this coun
try to-day. Before long we shall have 100,000.000
to 125,000,000. They cannot all be manufacturers
and the bulk of them must take up the land
and live by the land and on the land. Crops
are raised, but they are valueless unless they
can be exchanged for something which he who
raises them can u$e.
He Is tnV,most charitable man for the com
ing century who shall build and manage for
the people the great railway enterprises of thi«
continent, who shall build and manage the
great industrial enterprises of the country, who
shall take the. article which man produces and
bear it to other nations, taking back that which
shall be of use and beauty and value and re
finement to him. And with, such work will
come the emancipation of labor, the dignity
of man, the best life,' the best education, the
highest realization of the sweetest dreams of
, humanity that shall march its column up and
lay its burden down withdut fear in the face
of the father of us all who looks down to
night upon this gathering from his throne in
heaven. , . •-, ,< , .
The Bishop of South Carolina, after a
happy speech, concluded with this bit of
sentiment which won him hearty ap
plause:
I want to assure you, gentlemen of Califor
nia, that there is in South Carolina a very sin
cere and a very earnest and a very growing
eentiment of love and reverence and respect for
this great country of ours. It is my duty to say
that I believe that the late President of the
United States, honored be his memory, as glo
rious was his character, has done more for the
people of the South, more for my dear people
in helping us to a sincere, self-respecting, con
scientious respect for the stars and stripes and
the Government that overcame us, the Govern
ment that persuaded us as he would have it,
persuaded us by an affectionate assimilation in
arms to be one — and I assure you, gentlemen,
that there is in South Carolina to-day as faith
ful and as sincere and as loyal a purpose and
determination to be true to this country as
there was some years ago as faithful and loyal
a determination to be faithful to the Southern
Confederacy.
VISIT * A HAPPY OMEN.
J. "W. Byrne, the president of the Pa
cific Union Club said in response to a
call from the toastmaster:
It is a pleasure and a privilege to welcome
under this roof men of such high endeavors
and particularly to welcome here members of
a profession too seldom represented in an au
dience of this kind, and their presence reminds
us of the fact that more than a century ago
men also inspired by religloua zeal sought this
shore. They broke the silence . in -which this
land • had been slumbering and they laid the
foundation. We may then hope that this new
race of men equally earnest and striving to
wards the same ends may bring to that prog
ress a new birth and new impulse, and It Is p.
happy omen for the fulfillment of that hope
that the foremost man in America's industries
finds the time and inclination to come here
and share in the consideration and solution or
the moral and religious problems of our daily
life. Gentlemen, we cannot fail to feel the
better for your comins.

That respect which California has shown in
very hisli degree for education augurs well
for a return to solid foundations for respect
for order. It is out of schools and universities
that will come that sense of obedience which
will make anarchy impossible and which will
make respect for order the very foundation of
life. (Apnlause.) The best thing our schools
and universities can teach, the first thing they
must teach, is respect for order.
Children who have been taught to obey have
been made fit to live as members of the
social system. There has been a great
deal of talk about devices for the cor
rection of anarchy in these past days
We welcome these guests here to us becau»e
they represent a standing order. California
can we!! afford to take into itself a larger.
reFpect for things that have stood among
men and have stood the tesj. of time, the test
of experience. We can very well afford to in
fuse into our life a larger reverence, a finer
obedience toward things that are permanent,
firm and noble.
Out of respect for lire ae historically consti
tuted crows that orderliness of life which
makes life economical, which makes life pro
ceed without waste, which gives life its ef
fectiveness, its charm, the love of life, oppor
tunity and fulfillment and makes life worth
living.
Wo have had enough of disorder to disre
spect all forms of lawlessness. We have had
enough of disorder to welcome whatever repre
sents the solid historic order of our social ex
istence.
AVe are out here in the Far West in one
sense far away from the centers of historic
order, and we welcome here a body that rep
resents a standing order, that order in life,
that reverence for things that were and for
life that is historically constituted out of which
can spring the highest effectiveness— freedom—
and freedom that is anchored in respect for
the established order is the freedom that glv^s
life effectiveness.
dating the energy and self-sacrifice and high
devotion and high ideas In finance which are
illustrated in your guest to-night.
I aeked one of his children some time ago to
tell me about the father. She said that when
he was at home he almost always read. She
said: "When he is entirely at leisure he reads
the old convention journals." What Is it that
he finds jntere^ting- in the old convention jour
nals? I have reached the conclusion that he
Keeks them as a mode of repose. (Laughter.)
I believe myself that is the explanation. He
finds it a soothing atmosphere and - one that
does net greatly tax his intellectual resources.
When I went to Grace Church last Sunday
and saw the collection, after the service,
brought into the vestry room, one of
the wardens held up the considerable
coin, a penny. He said: "We don't get that
sort of coin here, only when you Eastern people
come." Well, gentlemen, that Is the situation
to which we have been introduced by the en
ergy and aggressiveness of the West.
It has been suggested that Mr. Morgan might
decide to stay in San Francisco for the rest
of his life instead of living in New York. If
he does not I can assure you it will not be be
cause he doesn't want to.
ORDER AGAINST LAWLESSNESS.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the
University of California, was then called
upon. He said:
Mr. Host and Gentlemen: I am very proud
that I can stand up here this evening to
speak for California. I speak of it as if I
had made it. I speak of it with all the prida
and all tha enthusiasm of a new convert. We
are glad to welcome these guests among us.
I suppose, first of all, because we are so few
that we often get tired of each other, and tired
of each other's stqries and each other's
speeches, and we are glad to hear somebody
ftlFe talk. We are glad to welcome them among
us for what they represent.
General Barnes hit the keynote last
night and- he held his listeners with his
customary eloauence. He said:
Nothing is more delightful as the years ,grow
BARNES IS ELOQUENT.
EDUCATION IS THRIVING.
President Jordan of Stanford University
said in part:
Mr. Host and Gentlemen: I am cast to-night
in a very modest though a very pleasing^role,
which is my duty to express to our guests some
points or some pointers that may perhaps help
them in their future relations with California.
I am inclined to think that they are possessed
of strictly erroneous ideas In regard to the
climate of California.
As a friend of mine suggested. It is just as
well for men to get away <rom the idea that
every table in California Is set in just the
way this one is to-night. Our guests will find
when they stay in this city a short time that
It Is made up of hospitality and climate.
The measure of higher education to the square
inch in California is higher than anywhere else
in the world. You will find this State with a
scanty population of a million and a quarter of
people with D000 college students to-day.
The old Ideal. of the English universities has
been that of culture, to make Individual, cul
tured men, to raise men out of a class of com
mon men. It is a high ideal. The universities
of Germany find this a secondary matter, but
they ' have an Interest In other things. But
there is still another ideal which I think is
higher than any other, and that is the ideal of
effectiveness.
and violence has been suggested of
every sort, violent legislation and violent ac
tion, but after all when we come down to the
right all anarchy can be annulled only when
the sense of obedience toward the standing so
cial order Is inculcated In the children who
grow up to make the next generation. The
source of authority, the source of loyalty to
the existing order will be found always in fami
lies, and it is the family system that we must
stand loyally by. If we go at the right of the
matter we shall go into schools and we shall
establish In schools education, not in the know
ing of things, but In obedience to the author
ityf that inheres in the standing order, the
Ftajiding order of the family, the standing or
der of Christian society. We shall Inspire
their reverence for things that are fine and
noble, things that are high and holy and of
good repute.
You cannot separate from Inspiration religion.
No process that has been found yet can wring
out as water is wrung out of a cloth reverence
p.nd faith and belief in things noble. Our pub
lic schools may well avoid subservience to a
cultivation of things sectarian, things ecclesi
astical, but we have got to nave In our public
schpuls and In our universities as teachers men
who revere things noble, men wno nave faith In
things high, men who have faith in things be
hind the veil, and we in California rejoice to
have among us a body of men who stand for
the larger reverence which makes life solid and
gives us an anchorage before the sunrise and
behind the sunset. We are proud of California,
we are glad to have you here in order that you
may see It, see its abundance, see Its opportu
nities. We think we know what its opportunity
is. We are just waking up to know the full
ness of it. ' •
We have always talked about things in the
East as things "back East," and yet we have
not half lived up to our phrase "back East."
It is only In recent days- that we have really
come to believe what Bishop Potter eaid to
day at Berkeley, that San Francisco is the
front door of the continent. We need men
who can lead and bring men together. This
land of California Is all right If it can bring
out men who can join their hands together
and men who can lead them and who can
help. For after all it is not climate nor geo
graphy that makes a nation; it is the power
of joining men together. Yes, It Is righteous
ness that exalteth a nation and makes a peo-
Ple.

MONSTER BE2TEITT
THURSDAY AFTERNOON"
Upon motion of Deputy Lewis of Pennsylva
nia the House of Deputies resolved itself Into a
committee of the whole to further consider the
canon on the solemnization of marriage and
divorce adopted by the House of Bishops. Chair
man Packard of the committee of the whole
A message from the House of Bishops. .was

A message was received from the House of
Bishops notifying that it had concurred in and
adopted proposed article 11 of the constitution;
and that It had disagreed to the ratification of
the proposed article V and the second part of
the proposed article X.
MESSAGE FROM BISHOPS.
When President Lindsay called the deputi/s
to order there was not a vacant seat in the
eacred edlflce.
Despite the heat, the House of Deputies was
crowded with visitors in the afternoon. The
galleries were filled to their utmost capacity by
the wives and daughters of the clerics and lay
men. The fair sex looked cool in their vari
colored shirt waists. There was a constant
flutter cf fans that made the scene an animated
one.
Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York
Delivers a Stirring Speech, in
Defense of Innocence.
DEBATE CONTINUES
AFTER NOON RECESS
££ to our responsibility as clergymen of the
church. I want to say a word about that. I
believe that this proposition is really a propo
sition to nullify the teachings of Christ, to
nullify the authprity of the Matter and to
nullify the power and the force of those vows
which you and I have taken at the solemn
moment when we were ordained for the priest
hood. At that time we promised before God
fcnd his church that ve would so administer
end dispense to the church as Christ the Lord
liad commanded.
"Now you tell us that we must administer
cot according to the commandments of Christ,
but according to the teachings of this canon.
I want to ask you this: 'Am I to obey 'Christ
or the canon of the church; am I to ask this
of the Bishop?* It would be a very difficult
thing for the Bishop of that diocese to an
swer and decide that question. I earnestly hope
that some form cf amendment like- that which
I>r. Huntingdon has in its simple form pro
l>oe»d, be adopted by this house.
"If this canon were passed I should so back
•to my home feeling that the church of my
Jove, that the church ol my reason, that the
churcn of my forefathers for 300 years has
lowerW the standard of Holy Scripture to a
etate no longer in the forefront and as pro
claiming that its teachings are based upon
the teachlcgs of filvine law and the Master
himself."
REV. PR. FISK'S ADDRESS.
The Rev. Dr. Fisk of Rhode Island was the
Jiext speaker. He said:
"We are not discussing a canon relating to
<iECipline of the members of this church or
the law of Christ, but we are discussing what
la expedient in the attitude of this church to
nard this great moral question.
"The eyes of the people of this whole coun
try are turned and have been turned for a long
time toward the Episcopal church when it
ehculd assemble to see and hear what it will
have to say in thi6 great question. If this
convention adjourns with the rejection of this
canon proposed the moral sense of the people
of this country will suffer from the blow."
The Rev. Dr. Packer of Long Island in part
paid:
speaking upon this question the gentle-
sa.id that he desired to test It by three
inTTgt:: First, does it answer the requirements
of ho'.y Scripture? Does it command the ascent
of the moral sense? Or is it an expedient to
meet the requirements of utility? First, has
it the sure warrant of holy Scripture? It
should have it. Now I want to know if thip
church can afford to go out into the world
with a car.on whose authority is doubtful. Can
we enact on this great and burning question a
canon that does not embody the mind of Jesus
Christ. I believe "that adultery is a deadly
thing. So deadly that it can disintegrate and
dissolve the marriage vow."
Tfce Rev. Dr. de Rosset of Springfield was
nexvi recognized. In part he said:
"Au-^ug other tMngs the gentleman said
IKat he or.ly wished to make one point, that
this was the question of the solemnization of
matrimony only. He called attention directly
to the words of the prayer book: "So long as
vp both ?hall live' and the words 'until death
us do part' and the wcrds 'let no man put
asunder.' This service ould not be used even
though the church may allow divorces for "cer
tain causes, or even thoueh certain lnterpreta
t«ons of the word of God may be admitted.
This service cannot be used again if a person
who has a husband or wife still living is di
vorced for cause.
'This church is perfectly competent to pre
pare any service if it wishes so to do, but it
6ays r.ov.- that this service shall be used only
iur certain ceses and for no others."
WHAT CHRIST WOULD DO.
The Rev. Dr. Ashton of "Western New Tork
continuing the debate, said:
"The prayer book repeats and echoes the
jrreat law of Christ upon the indissolubilitv of
the marriage bond. The question before th's
house is. What is becoming- and what is right
in the case of a minister of this church who
"It is always, it seems to me, expedient,
and we are at all times at liberty to go to an
extreme for the sake of expediency. The third
ground for my change of attitude is that the
situation is absolutely so scandalous that we
must do something to influence public opinion."
The committee of the whole then reported
progress to the House of Deputies and an ad
journment was taken until 3 p. m.
Our Lord made one exception. He said- that
except for one cause there should be no di
vorce, but I take the ground that if our L,ard
were here to-day he would take a higher
ground and one for which the unity of mar
riage and for which the people would stand
here to-day." ....
I>R. FOLET DECLARES HIMSELF.
The Rev. Dr. Foley of Central Pennsylvania,
the last speaker before adjournment, said:
"Mr. Chairman, I have taken the floor to
declare myself upon this question a convert
since I came to San Francisco. When I came
here I was asking mj-self and others. the ques
tion whether we should take an extreme posi
tion upon this subject. One of the reasons for
my conversion Is that in conversation with dis
tinguished laymen of this convention I have
come to the conclusion that the great majority
of the laymen propose to vote in favor of this
fourth section as sent down to us by the House
of Bishops, and 1 cannot think that there will
be any greater misfortune than for the lay
men of this convention to propose a remedy for
this social evil than for the clergy and this
convention not to give their assent to this
canon.
« - . . \u25a0
may be called upon to solemnize by divine cere
mony this most sacred and divine act of matri
mony? I shall offer a resolution that before
we go into the vote upon this" particular section
that we respectfully request the president of
the House of Deputies to stand upon the pulpit
and offer a special prayer for divine guidance,
that when we come io cast our vote here it
may be for the glory of God and for the good of
man.
Contiaued From Pag« Two.
. "This is hot a liturgical refinement, and I
can justify it by an appeal to history. The
last speaker, or the last but one, called our
attention to the fact that in the days when
our Lord .was on the earth there were no
courts of divorce. Well, then was Christ de
fying the state? No; he was saying something
that the man who married the woman needed
to keep In mind, and which he alone was con
cerned to keep in mind. To him, he says,
therefore. 'What God hath Joined together let
no man," (let not you) 'put asunder." There
can be no other exegesis; it. is pure fact.
"I should like to use the few minutes remain
ing to me, if few minutes there be remain
ing, in disputing this assumption of the posi
tion of the Christian state as if It were some
thing alien from the church of God. No man
who takes that view of the matter has studied
his Bible or his prayer book, and especially
I say his prayer book, for in that book the
Institution of human society and of civil gov
ernment Is recognized Just as distinctly. Just
as clearly, I am. almost prepared to say more
distinctly and more clearly than the institu-
"We .-have had that referred to here as if this
were the church' shaking Its fist In the face of
the civil . power and defying it to do Its worst.
Who has not listened in the congregation when
holy, matrimony was being solemnized and
heard those words read in precisely that spirit?
I can show in a word or two that that is an
utter misconception of their purpose. They
are not addressed to the public at large; they
are not addressed to the congregations there
present; still less are they addressed to God's
institute, the state. They are addressed to the

"Some years ago I received a. letter from an
eminent Presbyterian divine of liturgical ten
dencies who thought that he could improve on
the office of holy matrimony' in the prayer
book, and, knowing that I had taken an inter
est '.n such subjects, and being a ' personal
friend, he sent me a draft of his proposed ser
vice for. matrimony and wanted to know what
I thought of it; and one of the improvements
which he considered especially valuable" was
that he had transferred these words 'Those
whom God hath joined together let no
man put asunder,' from the place which they
ordinarily occupy in the office of the prayer
book . to the place between the announcement
to the congregation and the blessing.' That is
where it belongs, he said. Not at all; not at
all. .It is spoken- to. the parties, as you will
ses^by examining .the rubric, 'And-'after that
has .been said then shall: the ; minister speak
unto the company." - . • \u25a0
\u25a0 "Now, sir. for the prayer book fallacies.
They are \u25a0 two. • I may not have time to bring
them, out clearly, but I will do my best. The
first is with reference to that sentence in the
office of matrimony, 'Those whom God hath
Joined together; let no man put asunder.'
- "For the legal .'aspect of this question I am
well content to rest with what has already been
Eaid by. those -more competent to speak than
I.. I am glad to have heard the words of an
ex- Attorney General of the United States; I
am glad to have heard the words of a Judge
of the Court o£. Appeals of the great State of
New York. It is not for me to attempt com-,
mentary upon what they have to tell us. They
have sided with- the- innocent party. I do not
yield for one moment to my eloquent and dear
friend, the rector of St. Bartholomew's, New
York, in zeal for. the' purity of the family and
the sanctity of the home. But. sir. I put as
high as any of these considerations justice to
the innocent. , , ... •.

I once heard an eminent divine of this church,
who has been active in this discussion, and
who. but' for my knowledge of his tender heart,
I should have, charged with cruelty for say-
Ing it, speak of the 'so-called Innocent party"
in this discussion. It reminded me. I confess,
of the famous expression used by a preacher

he spoke of this- 'so-called nineteenth century.'

any one ; of them to quote the maxim. 'It is
better that . ten \ gullty.jmen should escape" thai,
that one innocent man should suffer."
"In our "zeal for sanctity . let us not forget

DEFINES THE SCTEHPTXJRES:
Rev. Dr. Benton of ..Kentucky followed and
argued on the indlssolubllity of marriage. '_ He
quoted sections of the Bible to strengthen his
argument. In part he said: • \u25a0 i "\u25a0 • .
"We have been told that this proposed ac
tion sent down from the -House of Bishops is
revolutionary. That it Is contrary to the uni
form practice of 100 years.
"If we take pity" upon the wife who is the
wife of a drunkard who turns his home into
a hell, shall we not have pity upon the wife
whose husband has been unfaithful to his mar
riage vows? If pity Is to rule must we not
marry people who are divorced for any cause?
"I submit, sir, -that the scriptures remain
and they, in their fullness, declare the indtssol
ubillty of marriage and that no one can re
marry. And now we come to our own legis
lation. AVe take up our Book of Common
Prayer, and does it not declare the doctrine
of the church ? Doeg that not declare that after
the marriage vows are taken, that that engage
ment is for life?"
DR. HXTNTINGTON'S ARGUMENT.
Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York, having
"In this discussion there are two great prin
ciples that underlie everything . that has be.en
said or perhaps- can be said on this subject.
There Is underneath everything the paramount
question, "What can we do when we look
abroad and see the dissolution that comes to
our homes — what can we do for our homes?'
"It is not the question or criticism on what
we are to decide this matter. It is the ques
tion • of the great principle that' our Savior,
Christ, put into the world when he . spoke to
the people of Judea. I ask what is the inter
pretation that Christians have placed upon. his
words? They have said in defense of the sanc
tity of the home that no divorce shall be allow
ed the man at his own whim and pleasure,
but should only be allowed by a decree of the
court. - '" ' \u25a0
posed the' proposed canon, directing his bat
teries principally against the fourth section, r
"The question before us,".; he said, "Is not
whether the . laws of the State • are right . or
wrong, but the precise - question , we have to
consider and ' decide is what ; is : the best course
for the' church . to pursue with reference to
persons after they* have been -divorced? Ms :it'
better, for the" church to proscribe and prose
cute and drive away such persons, or lsilt bet
ter for- the church to extend to them- the hand
of friendship, to" treat them with consideration
and kindness and try to make better-men and
women of them? I am aware that there - are
great abuses under the existing divorce laws
of. the country, but those abuses are arguments
to be addressed to . the ' law-making power I of
the country. They, have nothing .-to do with
the question before this convention. !
"I have had considerable to do with the ad
ministration of the law for more than fifty
years as. Judge and practitioner, and the result
of my experience 1b that In a great majority
of cases applications for -divorce are made by
women who seek to be released from worthless,
drunken and criminal husbands, who have been
left abandoned, ' sometimes with children on
their hands, and generally in "poverty. I ask
any man In this convention if he, can give
any good, sound, practical reason- why a
woman . who is divorced under such circum
stances if she finds a man who is willing : to
marry her, who will '• make her a good husband
and her children a good father and will.pro
vide support and' comfort for her and them,
why she should not have a right to marry that
man and why an Episcopal clergyman should
not have the right to perform the ceremony.'
This legislation \u25a0 on our part will. have no more
effect in deterring people from getting divorce
than the Pope"s bull had against the comet.
When people seek \u25a0 divorce they -do not stop
to consider whether they will be recognized by
the Episcopal church. They know very well
that if the Episcopal church will not recog
nize them all the other churches of the coun
try, will. Therefore it is trying to do some
thing that is , impracticable. It Is 'straining
at a gnat and swallowing a camel.' " - ..-
DISCUSSES PARAMOUNT POINTS.
Rev. Dr. Bassett of Rhode Island followed
and said in part:
Deputy 'George H. Williams of Oregon op-
OPPOSES PROPOSED CANON.
"There is one point involved, and that is
whether the principle of this church shall be
the iodissolubllity of the marriage relation.
"We come here not to legislate; that is for the
State — for the civil government. We come here
to say what shall be the policy of the church.
"We come here to learn whether the policy of
the church Is to preserve the purity of woman.
It is for us to say whether the white banner
of the church shall be unfurled in the cause
of purity or whether it shall be-- denied with
the sophistries of the age."
"For me it . Is sufficient that the unbroken
practice of this church from the commence
ment has permitted remarriage to the innocent
party to a divorce on the ground of adultery,
and that by the common consent of all civ
ilized legislatures and rulers it has been al
lowed. It comes, in my judgment, to the
question of the • expediency of this proposed
legislation. In my judgment the statistics of
divorce -which have been quoted here are not
pertinent to the discussion until it has been
shown that a large number of the divorces
granted in this country have been granted on
the ground of adultery. I believe that nine
tenths of the divorces in the United States pro
ceed upon grounds not scriptural other than
adultery. This is a question of expediency. I
admit that great principle of law which su
bordinates the interests of the few and permits
restraint to some extent upon personal liberty
in the interest of matrimony. This is the first
attempted legislation which I have ever known
which undertakes to subordinate the rights and
interests of the many for the reason that they
may be opposed by the few. Are we to permit
that legislation which denies to the innocent
party entitled to a divorce on the ground of
adultery? Are we to deny to this large class
of people who admit a scriptural right to
remarry simply to prevent abuses which now
and then take place by the perversion of the
judgments of the courts? In my judgment
we are not so justified and no question of
expediency can authorize j an ecclesiastical
council to interpose an obstacle to the ad
ministration of matrimony by the ministers of
our church upon such grounds."
Rev. Dr. Thomas of South Carolina followed
and told the convention that he was the proud
descendant of the first missionary sent out
to 'convert the Indians in his State. In part
he said:
"This is the question of all questions in the
world. I am told that there are numbers of
gentlemen who know all about this question.
This one thing is certain. That of all the mat
ters that can. come up before the convention
this is one that touches the human heart. Here
comes pathos, here comes misery, here comes
pity, here comes compassion."
Deputy Charles Andrews of "Western . New
York next claimed the attention of the house.
He said:
"Now, there are two sorts of conscience in
the world as I understand it— both very valu
able, both very different. One is the conscience
refined and scrupulous and devout. The con
science that ultimately leavens the world and
sets the standard of morals. Will that con
science agree with you, will it support you. if
jeu are rigorous? I tell you nay. All men
know the life of the soul. Knowing this, . as
men and women grow older they grow more
rigorous toward self and more infinitely com
passionate toward others.
"You cannot convince the public of America
that there are not certain people . who should
not marry after divorce. You may yourselves
believe this— that is your privilege, but the
great body of America will never believe that
by the law of Christ they cannot remarry
after • divorce. That being the case, is your
legislation expedient? It will be expedient if
you can command the Christian conscience of
those In America — not public opinion, I care
little about that, but Christian conscience — and
I tell you nay. . .
took the gavel and announced that the ques
tion before the house was the consideration of
section 4 of the message of the House of
Bishops. . .
DR. PARKS OPENS DISCUSSION.
Rev. Dr. Parks of New York was the first
speaker to be recognized. In part he said:
"I think it extremely important that the con
vention should know what they are doing.
They agree with me. They are in danger of

In is an endeavor to raise the standard of mo

DEPUTIES TALK. ELOQUENTLY,
1A HE Junior department la eon-

At noonday special prayers were read

Powers, who spoke interestingly on the
chui^rh and missionary work in Cuba.
The afternoon ceremonies consisted of
conferences and addresses. Bishop Mc-
Xim spoke to the ladies on the missionary
work la Japan. He said in part:
Three years have passed since the last con
vention work and this represents a new era
in Japan. Since then Japan has been admit-
Rev. Dr. Nevln of Rome said he sympathized
with what he . understood to be the object
of the proposed legislation, which was to pro
tect the purity of the family and the sanctity
of marriage. Continuing, he said:
"But I have failed to see from anything
that has been said that- that end will be
reached by this proposed canon. I am very
much afraid that it will work in the opposite
direction. This patchwork has come down
to us, apparently . • the result of a scare
on account of notorious facts in conspicuous
society. This proposed canon seems to be
very bad medicine for the body social.
"I base this conclusion upon the result of
my observations for thirty-five years in Italy.
where divorce is forbidden. The family life
in Italy by this prohibition of divorce has
been nothing bettered;,* but has grown steadily
worse. Adultery is a greater sin than di
vorce; a greater evil in the social body than
divorce, as the hidden cancer is a greater evil
than the open cancer. Adultery is practically
legitimated in Italy. The woman freed from
the fear of divorce -for adultery comes to look
upon it not as a sin \u25a0 to be punished by the
law, but as a venial offense; and it is
looked upon by the ordinary confessor as such
and practically treated as such.
"The frailty of human flesh! Whatever the
evils of divorce may be here, I do not have
the least hesitation in saying that the' family
life In the United States of America is In
finitely higher and infinitely purer than it is
in those countries in Europe where divorce
lor adultery has been forbidden. I deprecate
this proposal, or the proposal of any legisla
tion that can have the effect of lowerimr our
standard on this side, and I ask the members
cf this house to make very sure before vot-,
ing en this canon of shreds and patches that
has corr.e down to us from the other house as
to -whether it will do the least thing in re
straining or In regulating divorce: and second
ly whether it may not be found instead to
work simply as a canon for the promotion of
adultery."

tion of the Christian church. Read the prayer
for the church militant; nay, read all the
prayers that bear upon the subject and bear
me witness that it is the testimony of the
Church of England that the stafe is sacred,
even as the church."
WITHDRAWS HIS AMENDMENT.
Delegate Battles of .North Carolina withdrew
his amendment, saying that one objection to
the canon as it existed heretofore was in the
proof that the minister should .require when
he is asked to remarry a person who has been
married before. When it had been put upon
record according to the laws of the United
States, the. record of each State was conclusive
evidence in every other State. The only ques
tion In I such case would be were the parties
before the court by' proper proceeding to get
them in court. Hence he thought that diffi
culty had been done away with by the amend
ment, although perhaps net as clearly as.' it
would have been by the adoption of his sub
stitute. . ; ' -
Rev. Dr. Davenport followed and discussed
the proposed canon under "consideration.

scension for the West, on the supposition, ' I
understand,- that all Intellectual life "proceeds

Bishop Potter then addressed. the gath
ering. In part Ijp said:

lustily cheered by the college rooters.
Bishop Potter gave a start and a smile of
amused interest crept over his faes when
the prolonged cry .which ends the Cali

sudden vehemence. President Wheeler
presided at the meeting and, introducing
the speaker, said:

dress was principally confined to an ex

the danger to the republic through a cor

its own laws to Europeans and Americans.
Under the new treaties Americans and Eu
ropeans are npw under Japanese jurisdiction.
Before Europeans and Americans would sub
scribe to this treaty new codes of laws had
to be adopted by Japan. It is now in Japan as
difficult to obtain a divorce as in many of
our "Western States. This Is an Important fact
in missionary work.
Social conditions in Japan are such that a
minister does not enjoy that free access to the
people we have at home.
Then the Bishop discussed the self-sac
rificing work of the missionary "women in
Japan. He told how at first their, hard
ships were very severe, but conditions
improved and they are now fairly com
fortable.
Tea was served from 4 o'clock until 6,
at which hour the conference on the work
of colored people adjourned. j
"It seems to me that those who have argued
in favor of this canon has proceeded upon the
assumption that is not quite fair. They have
assumed that they are the only ones who
care for the Integrity of the family, the pur
ity cf the home and social righteousness. There
are those in this house who resent the idea.
There is not a clergyman or layman in the
house who does not agree In these things and
who would not lend his interest and power to
further such ends."
Deputy Lewis made a motion that the com
mittee of the whole rise and ask leave tft sit
again. The reason hs made the motion was
that certain persons desired to speak and as
he was entitled to close the debate it was too
close to adjournment to continue. His motion
was adopted. •
President Lindsay called the House of Depu
ties to order and Chairman Packard of the
committee of the whole formally reported
that the committee had : the subject of mar
riage and divorce under consideration and
asked leave to sit again. Permission was
granted.
Upon motion of Deputy Lewis the committee
of the whole will sit again on Monday at
10:30.
An adjournment was then taken.
Rev. Dr. Fulton of Pennsylvania followed
and said:
"I believe the marriage of the innocent party
to a divorce for infidelity is as lawful in the
sight of God and honorable in the sight of
man as any other marriage. Holding that
opinion, and holding it very strongly. I
should prefer myself that the canon had been
in a different form. I should have preferred
that it was a declaratory canon. There Is no
uniform doctrine or discipline la the Catholic
church. I hold that the solemnization of mar
riage is not essential. It is a privilege that
you claim, but it is not a. right. I hold that
the church may withhold it if it thinks there
by it will accomplish a great deal of gd#d
The church is justified in admonishing her
ministers not to celebrate marriages in the
case of divorced persons. One of my own
special desires is to relieve the clergy of being
judges in cases of this kind. How can a
clergyman know It a church in Utah is a
court of competent jurisdiction?"
Rev. Dr. Huntington interrupted at this mo
ment to say that if a clergyman was Incom
petent to answer such a question he was In-,
competent to be ordained.
Dr. Fulton continued and said that when
thl3 burden was laid upon the clergy it was
something that they could not bear. He sin
cerely hoped that the canon under discussion
would not be adopted.
Rev. Dr. Alsop next took the platform and
said in part:
EDUCATE MEN" TO VOTE.
I should like to leave with you to-day one
or two suggestions of a practical character
which I hope will be incorporated In this uni
versity. The foundation of a republic is the
purity and Intelligence of the ballot. The great
danger that threatens our country Is the cor
ruptibility of the ballot and the fact that th«
voter is purchasable. I believe that the first
thing to do to change this state of affairs is
to establish in \u25a0 every center of learning a
course of direct training for the exercise of
the right of suffrage. It should be so that
when a young man has reached the age of 21
he might wear some external badge that should
proclaim to the world that that man had been
tested as to the rights of citizenship and had
proven himself capable of holding such a
trust.
No man will undertake to forecast the futur*
of this great State and this great center of
learning. The people are nocking to your
shores from the Far East, of which the Golden
Gate is the threshold. May God give you wis
dom.- courage and spirit, of brotherhood in which
to deal with them.
"When I was here two years ago my friend
and present host,* Mr. Crocker, said, in an
after dinner speech, that San Francisco was the
front door of the American continent and New
York the back door. Men comfort themselves
with that thought who don't live in the East.
And it is true, it is certaintly true. Students
are knocking at your door from the Philippines,
China, Japan and all the Far East. But from
our Western land is to stream the great civil
ization and commerce which is to join the old

MATJD MILLER ESSAYS
PLAY BY HER FATHER
''Heart of Sierras," Written by Joa
quin Miller, to Have Its First
Presentation.
Maud Miller, daughter of Joaquln Mil
ler, the "Poet of the Sierras," will ap
pear as a star for the first time in San
Francisco at Sherman & Clay's Hall this
evening. Miss Miller will be assisted by
six players, including E. J. Holden in the
character of "49." Bernhard "Walther, the
Belgian violinist, will render a number of
solos between acts. The performance is
under the auspices and for the benefit of
the United Moderns. Miss Miller leaves
on Monday for a long tour through the
south.
The play, "The Heart of the Sierras,"
is a new adaptation of "49." One char
acter has been bodily cut from the manu
script. This character was not originally
created by the poet author, but was in
serted by an actor to whom Mr. Miller
leased the play. The story is told in the
entirety of its poetry and humor and Is
called "The Heart of the Sierras." The
play is the personal property of Maud
Miller, and is a gift to her from her
father.
