Show SALT LAKE CITY CHURCHES. Some of the Topics Touched Yesterday by the I'ulplt Preachers, Rev. G. F. Wright, D. D of Oberlin college ocenpied the pulpit at tho First Congregational church yostorday. "I am not ashamed of tbe gospel of Christ" was the text. The life of Apostle Paul was full of discouragements. The Jewish Jew-ish religion had become thread-bare and Paul realized that a great change was about to occur. lie was a man of considerable culture and was not ashamed ash-amed to announce he clung to the cause of Christ. The best effects come from this gospel. It supplies the wants of the human soul and we should rejoice re-joice under all circumstances in this gospel. First Methodist Church. Rev. Dr. Iliff's text was, "Curse Ye Mcroz." The location of fallen Meroz cannot be discovered by travelers because be-cause the curse yet remains. People who remain idle and do not assist in the moral and religious conflict may receive re-ceive tho curse of tho Lord. Most peoplo in the church never get beyond tho desire to save their souls. The ro-ligious ro-ligious and moral training of children is too often ueglected. Moral cowardice and shirking responsibility are great sins. The power of Christ alone can take the stones from the path that hinder hin-der the progress of christians. First l'resby terlan. Rev. Dr. MeNlece spoke on strength. Christians increase in strength those times as they tread the path of life as did tho Israelites of old. The socioties of Christian endeavor must always al-ways be on the alert that they may increase in-crease their strength and efficiency. These societies are a part of the church and not independent of it. Their mission mis-sion is to save the souls of men and educate ed-ucate the coming generation for useful work in the church. Tho pledge of the society is to strengthen and have system sys-tem in the organization. THE MERRY MARAUDER1 He Descends on a . Money Vault and Departs With the Body of the Concern. BURGLAEING AS A FINE AET. The Losses in Addition to Jewelry and . Papers Amount to Nearly a Half Thousand. The burglar extended his compliments compli-ments to the Central saloon between 2 and 8 o'clock this morning and departed de-parted with a vault containing over $400 in money, a gold watch and stock of valuable papers. It was without exception the most audacious plan that has been made by the marauder during the season and is the legitimate' sequel to the period of sumptuous indolence that has prevailed around tho saloon. When Clark & Burns opened their gin mill at 71 Commercial Com-mercial street they added to other appointments ap-pointments an iron box some three feet In length by about eighteen inches in width and to its stubborn vaults fed the day's and night's receipts. Business was brisk and receipts leaped higher and higher each day. At dusk the cash was counted and committed to .this vault Tho same thing occurred at the hour of closing, and its contents con-tents soon began to swell to plethoric figures. Last night, as usual, the proprietors pro-prietors of the plaoe deposited their receipts re-ceipts In the box and the establishment was left undor lock and koy. This morning when the hour arrived to begin the decoction of eye-openers the door opening from a stairway was found agap and the iron box gone. Tho attention at-tention of officers Roberts and Siegfus was called to the fact, and they at onco took hold of the problem. Cellars were searched, and houses were invoicod, and back yards were carefully surveyed until tho Cooper wagon yard was reached and in ono of its recesses tho box was found. Papers were scattered to the winds and its lid was wide open. It required the musclo of two men to handle it and the box was restored to its owners. A reporter saw Mr. Clark who stated that the contents con-tents embraced $100 in gold, $125 in currency, $150 In siver, a check on Mo-Cornick's Mo-Cornick's bank. Issued by the Daly mining min-ing company for $112, a gold watch, insurance in-surance papers, deeds, bills of salo, etc. Those had all departed with not a clew to the perpetrators, and while tho cash losses may bo overcome, tho replacement replace-ment of the deeds and other instruments instru-ments will be a source of some annoyance annoy-ance Suspicion rests on a half doz.cn shoulders any one of which might be capable of tho act and each of which had an opportunity of knowing the eon-tents eon-tents of the box. It is a well known fact that the resort has been made the favorite rendezvous of the senegambian rounder and that two or more of them have turned this trick thoro can be no doubt. Officers Roberts and Siegfus have lost no timo in summing up the indistinct pointers to the robbery and have already scored an excellent piece of detective work in the recovery of the box. Arrests will probably follow before be-fore many hours. Bt.Mark'a Cathedral, Tiishop Leonard epoko on the five barley loaves and two fishes. Christ always had a multitude around him no matter how dreary the place. That was a wonderful miracle of feeding the people from such a small store in hand. The lesson is wo are helpless and Christ gives us strength. He died for the poor and humble. His birth and poverty aroused his sympathy for this class of humanity- Take and consecrate our talents and wealth to Christ. He will bless us. St. Mnry'i Cathedral. Rev. Father Twombley's talk was nbout the son who was sick at Capernaum. Caper-naum. Godjhas a sick child in the person per-son of man. The goodness of man was overcome only after evil had entered the world. Discord and rebellion asise from disobedience to God. Where love is complete there can be no mortification mortifica-tion and no sacrifice and then its exercise exer-cise is our sweetest pleasure. By nature na-ture wo are disposed to shun obstacles which action tends to weaken our Christianity. St. I'aul'i Chapel, Rev. Dr. Lane referred to the character char-acter of christian life. Tho christian should bo an example to tho world and guard all hi-i actions and thoughts. Purification fits us to reoeiro our future reward. A good conscience is to be desired de-sired and those who live according to God's laws enjoy such. Free from sin we are sorvants of rightcousuess. v. M. C. A. Ompel Meeting.
