Bonds forschools" and parks were discussed lastnight by the members of the board ofeducation and by Park CommissionerJames P. Edoff for the purpose of fix-lng the total amount of the isau>which is to be submitted to the voterssoon. The school director* held thatthey could not do. the required workof modernizing the department winless than $3,235,050. and Edoff esti-
mates the Immediate requirements ofthe park department at $923,000. Thiswould make an Issue of $4,153,150, andto this must be added the item of$540,000 which the city council hasrecommended for insertion In the corning bond Issue to provide for a mu-nicipal auditorium.
Edoff maintained that the school de-partment estimate should be cut, 30that the other Items would not beimperiled by preponderance in one de-partment. But President A. L. Han-
'naford of the school board declaredemphatically that no smaller sum thinthe estimate given would cover theneeds.It Is probable that the differences
will be adiusted by conference withMayor Mott and other city officials. Theschool department needs will be care-fully computed, and no larger Issuewill be submitted to the voters thanpositively is essential.

Mercadanti.TRIBUTE PAID REL.IGIOX
Rev. Father Terence Caraher of St.Francis church, San Francisco, deliv-ered the dedicatory sermon. Inan elo-quent address he paid high tribute tothe Catholic religion and dwelt uponthe great influence of the church uponevery individual from the moment ofbirth until the final sacrament anddeath. He declared that the three great
means of salvation were the sacramentsof the church, the sacrifice of the massand the word of God. He congratulatedthe. members of the parish on the erec-tion of a church worthy of Him, andthanked the congregation on behalf ofRev. Father Ki#ly,his former assistant,for their genefous contributions. He
closed with declaring that this day sal-vation had come to the church of St.Louis Bertrand. /.'\u25a0
During the beautiful ceremonies of"entrance to the altar" and •"sanctus"the offertory, Willards "Ava Verum."was sung by Mrs. W. E. Dargie. accom-panied by Mrs. Nora Sandy Adams, Atthe conclusion of these ceremoniesBishop O'Connell addressed the congre-gation, as follows:
But a short year ago you startedto build this edifice, and yet Iseeno signs of haste In these beautifulsurroundings. You today have thissweet little church because therewas energy behind the movement
—energy of determination and en-erpy of generosity.
* -The selection of St. Louis Ber-
trand ac patron saint of this Ala-meda county church is of peculiarsignificance. St. Louis was, byblood and by birth, a Spaniard, butby choice, by labor and by toil, hewas an American. He came fromValencia, Spain, to America, andfor a third of a century labored suc-cessfully to convert the natives.He returned to Valencia to die andnow sleeps tiiere.
In the selection of St. Louis Ber~trand you have chosen more than apatron saint
—you have chosen a
much needed model to live by. St.Louis was strong in his faith, self-sacrificing to the highest degreeand consumed by one passion
—the
welfare of his neighbors. Had allthe priests, monks and bishopslived as he did there would havebeen no reformation and the west-ern nations would have been undi-vided in religion.
And yet St. Louis, &s noble as hewas. was afraid to die, for hefeared judgment. If he, who de-voted his life to the welfare of hisneighbors, feared to die, what shallwe thJnk of ourselves? How manypeople die today in fear of judg-ment? Iwonder if there is anypuch thing as justice In this world?What we call justice is simply ahappy contrivance, a subliminationof our duties. We can evade theoperation of our laws, representingour justice, though he who does soitt an unworthy citizen. But thereIs one thing certain— <sod is Jus-tice. Before him all are equal andhis judgment we must some daymcct
—we can not evade it. So St.
Louis was right to fear death.What we need in this country to-day more than anything else is afear of God and his Judgment and agreater respect for human law*.;-**Following this address the pontifical
benediction was given. "O Saluturls,"by Williams, was sung by Mrs. W. C.Bills, while Rosewlg's trio, "TantumErgo," was rendered by Mrs. Bills,Mrs. Adams and Professor Sandy. Atthe conclusion of the ceremonies thevlelting clergy was entertained atluncheon by Rev. Father James Kielyand his assistant, Rev. MichaelPowers.MUSIC BYPARISH CHOIR
