Parish I^)s Angeles, Cal., May 6.—In the terrible calamity which has befallen San Francisco Ibe preacher today finds 1 lesson for the whole nation. The text s I Kings xix, 11, 12, “An earthquake, but the j ord w-as not in the earth quake; an i after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord w'as not in the fire; and ifter the fire a still small voice.” “Extra! Extra! Extra!” cried the newsboy in the street. Like the fish monger's call, the voice echoed up and leajjed through my study window. It lid not cause even the tremor of the aaud that held the moving pen. Why. ( have heard that call of “Extra! Ex tra!” so often that it was like the cry af "Wolf! Wolf!” In the legend of old. I did not even have interest enough to say, “Another railroad accident,” or ‘Another eruption of Mount Vesu vius,” or “Another threatened war be tween France and Germany over the African troubles.” But suddenly my self complacency was roused to vehe ment action. A member of the family rushed into the room and said; “Have rou heard the news? San Francisco is destroyed by an earthquake. The Palace hotel aud the Tall building and the great city hall are In complete ruins. All the great hotels are gone. All the places of amusement are iu dames. A thousand people are dead. The city has taken fire, and the water mains are burst.” “God help them! God help them!” was my answer. “But very probably, like all first ru mors, there is exaggeration in the re port. San Francisco, with its splendid buildings, could never have its founda tions ruined. Let me find out from headquarters.” So I stepped to the telephone and called up a friend at one of the promin -it city newspaper of fices and asked. "Are reports as bad as the first telegrams intimate?” "Much worse, much worse,” he answered. ‘The city is In flames, and we fear it will lie completely destroyed. The city is said to have sunk. What the earth quake did not upheave we fear that the holocaust will obliterate. That is the last report received, but the com munication is broken now. The wires are all dowm.” Oh, the horror of It! The city of Los Angeles lay stunned. Two-thirds of all our population had friends or rela tives or business interests in the city of Kan Francisco. The bleeding, moan ing, helpless cry Of America’s metrop olis of the Pacific was nowhere an swered by a deeper sob of anguish thau that which arose from the City of the Angels. We were one—one In family love, one in business interests. We seemed to be more than sisters San Francisco’s sufferings were Los Angeles’ sufferings. We are next door ueighlx>rs in the family of cities. The Wnit For Kewa. Then the long wait. No new’s—wires dowm; communication stopped. Ah, Ix>s Angeles knew then what must have l>een the feelings of the fathers and mothers aud brothers aud sisters when the telegraph wires thrilled aud the news flashed over the northern and the southern states that the battle of Fredericksburg was being fought. Oh the anxious moments of waiting for the dead list! They say it is hard to go to tiie front and die. I do not think it is nearly so hard as to stay home and live and think that your dear ones are soon to be uumliered among the dead. They say that all of 15,000 men were killed at Fredericksburg. The rumors at first declared that 10,000 were dead in San Francisco. “What— will my telephone bell nevgr stop ring ing?” “My husband is in the Palace hotel.” says one. “My mother aud sis ters are living there,” says another "I have two brothers there,” says an other. “My son is there,” says another. Aye, they could say it, hut what could I say? Nothing. The wires were down. There seemed to be no hope. Then the telegraph instrument began to click. The streets aliout the different bulletin boards were blocked. “News, news! Give us the news!” was the cry. But when the news began to come in, in stead of a smile upon the lip, the blanched cheek became paler, if that were possible. “Point Richmond has tumbled into the sea,” was one notice. “The Cliff House has disappeared,” was another notice. “One hundred and thirty blocks of business bouses annihilated.” “The scavenger carts are carrying the dead through the streets blocked by falling walls,” was still another report. “The ghouls robbing the dead are be ing shot by the soldiers.” “City is un der martial law.” “Five miles of wa ter front ablaze.” “People fighting each otiler in the streets, like stamped ing herds of cattle.” O God, is there to be uo end to this horror? Agony seems to'be piling itself upon agony. Then the old and feeble—what are they do ing? Then the mothers with their new- ; bom l/abes by their side. Think of the hospitals Is-ing turned into ebaruei bouses! But still the telegraph instru ment ticks on. Every little movement of that instrument seems to be a sledge hammer beating against the suf fering heart of a nation. Cries For Help. Then, as the crowds grow thicker and denser, we find men fighting their way out. “What is the matter with you?” we ask. “I>et me out!” they cry. “Let me eat! I want to get the train and start north at once. I must get Into that doomed cHy and go to my dear onea.” Crowds are now blockad ing the railroad offices for passage; but, though a thousand cars were to start, It would not be a long enough train to accommodate those who wished to go to Kan Francisco to rescue their friends. Then the reinirta came In aw fully monotonous regularity: "Flames spreading. Buildings l»eing dynamited to stop onward progress of conflagra tion. General Funston forbids any one to land in the city. Water famine threatened. All wholesale hoyses de stroyed. Hunger and famine staring the i»eople in the face. People dying in the streets from exhaustion and starvation. Napa Insane asylum de stroyed. Stanford university buildings down. Kan Jose a wreck.” Then, as a wailing cry, came the telegrams from Oakland, from the mayor and the gov ernor: “Help! Help! Give us help! San Francisco is starving! Help! Help!” Then the revolving wheels of the railroad trains come rumbling into our depots and the passengers alight. These are the first refugees from the city of death. “Were the stories over drawn?” we ask. “No, no!” they an swer. “Tell us about your experi ence.” “We Mere asleep. Suddenly, In the morning, we were flung from the bed. The earth felt like a mouse that a rat terrier had gripj>ed by the neck, shaking the life out of it, and then dropped for dead. Then the streets were filled with men and wom en and children in their night robes. Some were praying, some shrieking, some muttering like madmen. The walls began to totter and to fall. Buildings whieh had not !>een over thrown became blazing furnaces. At one time tbe flames leaped out of ev ery window of the Palace hotel. The top stories of the different buildings iu many instances seemed to catch fire first. Then men and women started to run for the ferryboats. It was not a struggle to save property, but a mad race for life.” Oh, why should we go on and de scribe tills horror? In all the history of the world there never was a more ghastly tragedy. The battlefields of Gettysburg and Waterloo w ere tragedies of men only and bad not the pathos of dying women and children, as had this pandemonium of furies. And yet, amid the heavy, rocking earth, amid the hissing, leaping flames, amid tbe lurid skies and the starving and the dead, we can today find some gospel lesson for practical use for everyday life. May God help us to say the right word and say it in the right way! Jadve Hot. Let us beware, iu the first place, lest we attempt to handle the lightnings of God’s wrath. I>et us halt before we pass judgment upon the past sins of this great city. The Bible says, “Judge not that ye lie not Judged.” But in spite of tyis divine command to “Judge not” there are people who are ready to affirm that the reason why this trag- 1 thall all likewise perish." Thus today. In lieu of Christ's words when you pro pose to say, “Tills catastrophe was sent upon Kan Francisco on account of its sins," I put my finger upon your lips and say: "Stop, brother! Stop, sister! Silence! Judge not that ye be not Judged. Let God’s lightnings flash as they will, but leave to him the right of Judgment. I^et us first see that our own city is cleansed of sin and not talk so much about-other cities’ sins.” Wouldst thou try to pluck the mote out of thy brother’s eye aud perceive not the beam which is sticking forth sut of thine own eye? Can we explain why certain i>eople In San Francisco have to suffer as they do? Here we cau see the flames, like demons, leaping from business block to business block. Millions upon millions of dollars' worth of property have been destroyed. Now’ the flames are head ing toward the churches and th*. resi dential districts. The dynamite is ex ploded. Tbe guns are trained up the w r alls. As the cowboy upon western prairie fights fire with fire, so here the brave men are fighting demolition with demolition. Still onward and onward move the flames. Then Paul Reveres ride everywhere, crying: “Run for your lives! Ruu! Run! Run!” “Oh,” but some mau says, “I cannot run. 1 have an aged and sick mother here. I must take her aloug.” Who is she? Is she a Christian? "Yes,” answers the man. “For years and years she has been an ardent follow’er of Jesus Christ.” Together we help her aloug. After awhile she completely gives out. “Water! Water!” she cries. “Give me w r ater!” There is no w f ater. A deathly pallor overspreads her features. We get her out upon the hillsides, but no sooner is she laid dowm upon the ground than she breathes her last. Why is all this? Why? Why did St. Mary’s hospital go, and St. Patrick's church and Wie First Methodist church go, and scores of institutions of mercy all go up iu flames? Why are so many men who have always tried to follow Jesus and have always given to God their money now left penniless? Why does God here seem to strike the Just and the unjust unlike? I cannot say. I do not know. I can give no rational reason any more thau I can tell you why God came into your home and took your young wife from your side and left you with three motherless lit tle children to rear. “Why?” is a poor word to ask at this time. All that we can do is to say: "God is good. All things are working together for good to them that love God.” Therefore it is only the glorious word of “faith” which will bridge over us this aw'ful chasm of despair. Faith, faith, faith! I^et us have faith in a good God aud leave the explanations to him for the light of heaven. Earth cau never ex plain tills tragedy. Th« Whole World Kla. But there Is still another lesson. This edy was permitted to overtake the metropolis of the Pacific was because San Francisco was a city festering and tragedy, as uo other tragedy during the past centuiy, has proved how much the American people are akin and how reeking with sin. Why, no sooner was much they are willing to help each this awful tragedy reported over the other. “God hath made of one blood wires than one of the prominent news all nations to d well upon the face of papers of this city called me up and the earth.” But, though we may all be asked whether I believed that San 1 of oue blood, yet no |*ower on earth Francisco was destroyed, like Sodom l will make us call each other brother and Gomorrah, 011 account of its sins, so appropriately as when the heavy I replied then as I reply now: “Any hand of trouble is laid upon a brother’s man who would make a statement that heart. he thought Sau Francisco was de- I know many people may not agree stroyed on account of its sius is unfit to with me.

The sw'onl of death can i>e unsheathed and strike any where. We are all living upon the brink of destruction. Do not pity the people of SauFraucisco for possible future dangers which threaten them any more than you pity yourself, no matter where you may dwell. We have had this thought pressed very dose upon our hearts of late. “Do you think this earthquake will strike I-'Os Angeles?” was again and again asked me amid those awful silences during which we were waiting for news from the northern part of the state. “I do not know,” I would an swer. “It may. It may not. No one can tell. It may come to our own city, just as It did to Kan Francisco or Charleston.” One can feel as calm as did the younger Pliny when he looked upon the awful eruptions of Vesuvius which buried Pompeii and Hercula neum many, many centuries ago. He penned this letter to Tacitus Just after the two cities were submerged: “I might boast that during all this scene of horror not a sigh or an expression of fear escaped me. My support was founded in that miserable though strong consolation that all mankind were involved In the same calamity and that I Imagined I was perishing with the world itself.” Ko, amid the horrors of SAn Francisco’s earthquake, I did not feel like taking the train and going east, as so many w’anted to do. I did not feel like going even after Los Angeles itself was vibrated by a slight earthquake. Why? I felt that w’e were all face to face wfith like dan gers wherever we went. We are all walking hand in hand with death, no matter in what state we live. The question which faced the people of Kan Francisco is the same that faces all people. Our satety is not to be decided by how fast we can run, but by how well we can do the work God has given us to do. Then when the death summons conies, no matter how or wffiere it may come, may we be able to calmly look up and say: “Here am I, Lord. Here am I. Come and take me while 1 am working at my post of duty.” The Bllver Llnlac. Now, amid all these scenes of de struction and sorrow that have come to our bereft sister city, I send to these suffering people words of congratula tion and good cheer. First, I say, “Thank God, If the earthquake had to come, that it came in the early hours of the morning.” You know that Kan Francisco is situated at the Golden Gate of the Pacific. It was truly the Golden Gate then. The sun was Just arising over the eastern bills and throwing Its light upon the shimmering waters of the bay. Had this earth quake come hours later Oakland and Berkeley and Kan Rafael and scores of other suburban cities and towns would have emptied their thousands aud tens of thousands of business men and shop pens into the great metropolis. Then the huge office buildings would have been crowded. Then, when the walls cracked and fell, it would not have meant the loss of hundreds of lives but of thousands upon thousands Thank God, I say, that the earthquake came at 5:30 a. m. instead of 10:30 a. m. God be praised, we say. Kan Francisco’s walls have toppled, but Kan Francisco's fathers aud mothers and children live. Even the blackest clouds may have the brightest of silver linings. Keeond fact for congratulation: A1 though the city of Kan Frandsco has fallen, yet the city of Kan Francisco shall rise again. The future S in Fran cisco which shall arise will be as much ahead of the old city as the modern locomotiv is better than tbe old psai- rie schooner or <-anal boat. Like Gal veston. its streets will be broader and lim'd witii nobler buildings. Its pal aces will i>e richer, its stores filled with better goods. Its people will have better homes.
