SPIRIT OF PROGRESS.

SAN FRANCISCANS ACTIVE IN THE CITY'S WELFARE.

Believe In Home Industries and Home Incornea—Energy to Take the Place of Apathy—More People Wanted of the Right

Kind—Half a Million in 1900.

The progressive citizens of San Francisco liuve formed a Half Million club, the purpose of which is to increase the population of the city to 500,000 by 1900, The sentiments expressed by a member of the club in a recent letter have the ring of true civic pride and belief in the city's future greatness. The ideas suggested apply, with modifications to suit conditions, to any community. He says:

I have been asked to express a few ideas in regard to the Half Million club, which has been organized to increase the population of San Francisco to 500,000 by 1900. I have been given to understand that the people whom it is the wish to bring here are to be desirable people. They are to be industrious, honest and in some sense capitalists, being :\3ons of sufficient means to make them measurably independent.

It is not supposed that all of the people who are expected to come here from other states will be thus independent, but probably most them will be. Such people cannot fail to be of great advantage to us, and therefore I am in favor of the Half Million club.

Clubs with increased populations in view have been organized at Chicago, New York and other eastern cities. All these movements are in the right direction. San Francisco has readied a condition where she should put forth more enterprise. The city, located as it is on the greatest bay on the western part of the continent and in the richest state of the United States, occupies a position unexcelled by any other in the world. Vast tracts of rich but nncniltiv?itecl lands, mines of gold, silver and other nictalu and forests of as fine timber as is grown lie. on one side of her. On the other lies the orient, with a mighty trade, as yet almost entirely undeveloped in our interest. I might also speak of the thousands of miles of coast line, of the states and territories contiguous to us. whose trade by right of location and neighborly feeling should come in immensely increased volume to us.

Practically there, is no limit to our greatness, if we but consider our opportunities and act upon them. Therefore 1 am a believer, in the. Half Million club. We have been too slow in the past. V'o should now run, and run nil together, for our advancement.

The only thing we want to do is to go to work. Let us pu 11 all together, and 1900 we will easily sec a half millircv.ueople in this city. Move than this, jriiiik throughout will be more populated, and wo will have «, busy\aiart here as will set the to worufter. in favor

Eastern and local capitalists should now join togethpm er to develop our many resources, as yet almost unknown. Many eastern capitalists have turned away from California on account of tho apathy displayed by the people of our state against our own good and welfare. We know push and energy built up Chicago, Denver and other western cities. We know there is a general awakening of Californians, sojhat we etrn look forward to an era of prosperity never before equaled in our half century's experience. s. We should all pull together, with tho feeling that where every one is interested -nothing can fail. Our trade used to control the northwest as far as Montana 'and south into Texas and Arizona, It has been wrested from us by now roads ]and competition. We must reclaim it, ft-."land we can do it if we work together.

WICKED PRACTICE:

SWEARING A PREVALENT VICE AMONG AMERICANS.

From the Highest to the Humblest There Is Shameless Gnilt In This Matter—Fire Reasons Why God's Name Should Not Be

Used In Vain.

At the Bloomingdale Reformed church Sunday, June 23, Rev. Madison C. Peters chose for his topic "America's Popular Sin." The preacher's text was Exodus xx, 7, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." The preacher said:

A traveler in Russia was judged to be a clergyman because he was not heard to swear, all other Americans being supposed to be addicted to this wicked practice. After Dr. Scudder's return from India he heard a person using profane language in the presence of his son, and accosting tho swearer the great missionary said, "This boy was born and brought up in a heathen land, but in all his life he never heard a man blaspheme his Maker until now." The man apologized and moved away ashamed. This vice has become so prevalent as to deserve the distinction of being called a national characteristic.

Its Brazen Impudence.

This vice flaunts itself before us with brazen impudence. The slanderer slyly watches for an open ear and enjoins secrecy, the thief is too cunning to steal in the presence of witnesses, the lecherous man crawls to the house of shame after dark, but men swear publicly, boldly and undauntedly.

Now we have live reasons why the name of God should not be used in vain:

First.

-It is useless. Will swearing it a real value in character?

pny Is

Does it deepen confidence? Why should an honorable man have to add oaths to confirm his word? Does swearing recommend a merchant's goods? Where is the foreman or superintendent who acquired control over and respect of his workmen through profanity? Does it aid the physician in forming a more correct diagnosis? Does it enlarge a lawyer's practice or better analyze his cases? Did curses ever take tho meanness out of a customer? Did they ever collect a bad debt? Did they ever accomplish anything?

Second.—It is cowardly. There was once a man who swore dreadfully in the presence of others, but was rebuked by a gentleman, who told him that it was cowardly for him to do in the presence of others that which he did not dare to by himself. Ah," said the man, "I am not afraid to swear at any time or in nuv place. "I'll give you $10,." said the gentleman, "if you will go in tho village graveyard at 12 o'clock tonight and utter tiio same oaths you have just uttered here when von are alone with I

God." "Agreed," said the man. "It's an easy way of earning A10." "Weil, you come to me tomorrow and say that you have dono it, and the money is yours. He was impatient for the midnight hour. When the time came, he hurried to the gravcYard, Darkness and sileuce were brooding like spirits o'er I tho still and pulseless world.- lieneath him tho many dead, above him pitch darkness. The words, "alone with God," I

Fourth.—Swearing is wicked. It springs from a mere malignancy of spirit in man against God, because he has forbidden it. As far as the violation of the command of God is concerned the swearer is equally guilty with the murderer, the unchaste person, the robber and the liar. Whose is this name which men roll olf the 'lips of blasphemy as though they were speaking of some low vagabond. God! God! "God! Yes, men swear by the name of God. God! in whose presence tho highest and purest seraphim veil their faces and cry in notes responsive to each other: Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord God of Hosts!

Fifth.—Swearing is dangerous. The third commandment is the only ono in tho decalogue to which is affixed the certainty of punishment, "For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." It was a capital offense under tho Levitical law (Leviticus xx, 10). The New Testament reiterates in paragraph after paragraph and chapter after chapter that profane.swearers are accursed now and aro to be forever miserable. csv

His further endeavors were thwarted by the Invisible One. Ee could co no luri her Iir-ito'id of earrvin" out t'on pruned anil published in ».ud (it\. i.u iuiuux. vh uat GEOH«}]5 W.

with (J-.id instead of blistering his mouth with hot and .sulphurous oaths, he was humbled and, trembling, cried with aloud voice, God be merciful to me, a sinner." The next day he went to the gentleman and thanked him for what he had done and said lie had resolved never to swear another oath as long as he lived.

Third.—It is impolite. I am reminded of that incident of Abraham Lincoln, who said to a person sent to him by one of the senators, and who in conyersat-ioii uttered an oath: "I thought the senator had sent me a gentleman.. I see I .was mistaken. There is the door, and I bid you good day.
