Beautiful Music and Eloquent Words—Hey. Dr.Stebbisa at the First Unitarian

Church Yesterday.'

Avery large congregation filled the FirstIUnitarian Church, at Geary and Franklin

street?, yesterday looming, the occasion be-ing a memorial service in honor of ThomasSlarr King.

The services consisted of ?ong, praise andprayers, the entire congregation, joining inone of the songs.

Rev. Horatio Stebbins, pastor of thechurch, preached an elrquent sermon eulo-gistic of the memory of Thomas Starr King,taking for the text the story of faith, as toldin the lives of Moses and of David. He pre-faced his sermon by stating that the day hadbeen set apart for praise nn-.l song to thememory of one who died young, and yetwhose life was one ofusefulness and loyaltyto God and humanity.

llev. Dr. Stebbins gave a brief summaryof the lifeand preachings of Thomas StarrKing, who died upward of thirty years ago—

"longer," he said, "than the years that helived." The dead man, he said, "belonged

to thai type of humanity who maturedearly, and young as lie was at the time ofhis death lie had served lor four years as aminister of the Unitarian faith."

Many incidents of the life of the deadman were recalled and the memories ofmany 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 willshortly be erected as a monument to thedead man.

During the services the following selec-tions were rendered by the choir:Orßan, ••Pilgrims' Chorus" R. WarnerTo l>euni Max VogrlchTenor solo, -Be lliou Faithful" (St. raw)

Alfred ViiluloSoprano solo (with viulln oMigato), "LightofHeaven,** Gounod

Air.J. Josephs.Before beginning his sermon Rev. Mr.

Stebbins announced that on next Sundaythere would be no service?, the choir, and theentire congregation in fact, having been in-vited to Oakland un that day to participatein tre dedication of the new UnitarianChurch.

On the following Sunday the Itev. MinotSavage of Boston would preach from thepulpit of the First Unitarian Church.

Dr. Stebbins himself will be absent forseveral weeks, leaving for the East sometime this week. While absent he willat-tend the coming conference at Saratoga.

Itmeans the taxing of tue valueof land without regard to the improvementsupon it, compelling the holder to contributetv the support of the Government, not inproportion to what he produces or accumu-lates, but in proportion to the value of trienatural opportunities inbis possession.

Mr. Lrggett supplemented his address byreading au article from the New YorkWorld on the progress of the free trademovement in New South Walessincn HenryGeorge visiteU that country a year ago.

Miss Currie preceded the sppaker of theevening, A. H. Sanborn, with vocal and in-strumental music. Sanboru's theme was"Graveyard Legislation." He dwelt atlength upon the proneuess of mankind toaccept 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 citizento make or abolish all laws ns he sees fit.The existing land laws are a legacy fromour 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'sexistence, and the owner of laud is ina posi-tion to exact in rent all that the producercan produce over a living.
