Services of Sons and Praise to
Thomas Starr King.
Beautiful Music and Eloquent Words— Hey. Dr.
Stebbisa at the First Unitarian
Church Yesterday. '
A very large congregation filled the First
I Unitarian Church, at Geary and Franklin
street?, yesterday looming, the occasion be
ing a memorial service in honor of Thomas
Slarr King.
The services consisted of ?ong, praise and
prayers, the entire congregation, joining in
one of the songs.
Rev. Horatio Stebbins, pastor of the
church, preached an elrquent sermon eulo
gistic of the memory of Thomas Starr King,
taking for the text the story of faith, as told
in the lives of Moses and of David. He pre
faced his sermon by stating that the day had
been set apart for praise nn-.l song to the
memory of one who died young, and yet
whose life was one of usefulness and loyalty
to God and humanity.
llev. Dr. Stebbins gave a brief summary
of the life and preachings of Thomas Starr
King, who died upward of thirty years ago
— "longer," he said, "than the years that he
lived." The dead man, he said, "belonged
Ej *^ fc u \
Thomai Starr Kino-
to thai type of humanity who matured
early, and young as lie was at the time of
his death lie had served lor four years as a
minister of the Unitarian faith."
Many incidents of the life of the dead
man were recalled and the memories of
many in the congregation were refreshed,
for he was well known to the older mem
bers.
Dr. Stobliins touched briefly but elo
quently on the tribute of bronze and gran
ite that is being built, and which will
shortly be erected as a monument to the
dead man.
During the services the following selec
tions were rendered by the choir:
Orßan, ••Pilgrims' Chorus" R. Warner
To l>euni Max Vogrlch
Tenor solo, -Be lliou Faithful" (St. raw)
Alfred Viilulo
Soprano solo (with viulln oMigato), " Light of
Heaven,** Gounod
Sirs. J. M. li.Tic and Mr. .1. Josephs.
Violin solo, •• Stradilia's Prayer" htradelta
Air. J. Josephs.
Before beginning his sermon Rev. Mr.
Stebbins announced that on next Sunday
there would be no service?, the choir, and the
entire congregation in fact, having been in
vited to Oakland un that day to participate
in tre dedication of the new Unitarian
Church.
On the following Sunday the Itev. Minot
Savage of Boston would preach from the
pulpit of the First Unitarian Church.
Dr. Stebbins himself will be absent for
several weeks, leaving for the East some
time this week. While absent he will at
tend the coming conference at Saratoga.
ACROSS THE BAY.
Impressive Funeral of W. E. Dar
gie's Daughter.
T!ie funeral of little Errnlnia Dargle,
daughter of Senator and Mrs. \V. E. Dargie,
at tlie Church of the linniaciilute Conception
yesterday afternoon, was largely attended,
the large obnrcfa being filled with friends of
the parents who sympathize with them in
their bereavement. The church was hand
somely decorated with flowers and the floral
offerings fur the deceased were numerous.
A full choir led in the mass. Rev. Thomas
McSweeney of St Francis de Sales Church
cfficiatcd and delivered an eloquent sermon,
taking for his text the account of the
miracle of the Lord Jesus in raising to life
the sou of the widow of Xain while he was
being carried to the grave, as found in Luke
vil. The reverend gentleman then ex
plained that tint great savior is nnw
here with us, but for his own wise pur
poses he has decreed that we may not have
miracles in our day. In a touching manner
he referred to the bereaved parents. Tnoy
could not have their dear and beautiful
child with them any more in this life, but
she had only gene before to that life where
there i -i no sin, and he could voint them to
that heaven whither she had gone. He
did not think she was taken away too soon.
'"For," said he, "alter all, friends, when
you come to the clo.-ing of this life there is
but little hi it." lie would not for n mo
ment say that we must not live an active
and busy life, but it is not best to give to
this life all of one's energies. What will it
avail us if we have pleasure and fame and
honor and riches and all the other things
of this life, if we lose our souls? lie re
ferred to the present happiness of the de
parted child and spoke many worth of
sympathy. Rev. William (ileeson of St.
Anthony's Church, East Oakland, and Rev.
James King of the Church of the Immacu
late Coucoption, were present.

SINGLE TAX SOCIETY.
A. H. Saiiborn Speaks on "Grave
yard Legislation."
Attorney Joseph Leggett opeued tlie
meeting of the Single Tax Society last even
ing with a brief address on the principles
of the association Tne adoption of the
sincle tax, he held, meant the abolition of
nil taxes upon industry and the products of
industry. It means the taxing of tue value
of land without regard to the improvements
upon it, compelling the holder to contribute
tv the support of the Government, not in
proportion to what he produces or accumu
lates, but in proportion to the value of trie
natural opportunities in bis possession.
Mr. Lrggett supplemented his address by
reading au article from the New York
World on the progress of the free trade
movement in New South Walessincn Henry
George visiteU that country a year ago.
Miss Currie preceded the sppaker of the
evening, A. H. Sanborn, with vocal and in
strumental music. Sanboru's theme was
" Graveyard Legislation." He dwelt at
length upon the proneuess of mankind to
accept laws and customs as they exist, with
out asking whether they are good or bail.
He ari-uea that it is the duty of the citizen
to make or abolish all laws ns he sees fit.
The existing land laws are a legacy from
our dead and buried forefathers, and are ac
cepted simply because they were in exist
ence when we came upon the earth.
Private property in laud, the speaker said,
is equivalent to private property in man,
since land is absolutely necessary to man's
existence, and the owner of laud is in a posi
tion to exact in rent all that the producer
can produce over a living.
