THE. BOSS SUNDAY SCHOOL. Qutnumbering Nevada County's Entire Church-Going Population. DIVINE TRUTHS BY THE WHOLESALE. ee One Teacher and Two Policemen Run it to the Music of Cornet and Piano— Why One Boy Didn't Get There. Nevada City ordinarily feels proud of its Methodist Sunday “school numbering 250 members, but does not do any bragging to speak of when the Grass Valley Methodist Sunday school, six hundred strong come ‘marching along. But merge these two organizations into one, and it would take five of them with three hundred and fifty more children thrown in to make a stand-off to one in Chicago, called the Central Mission, which has 4500 children hardly any of them overten years old, on. its roll and is the largest in the world. The average attendance exceeds 3,000. The Tribune of that city thus tells all about it: Where the children all come from is a mystery. Maybe Mr. Holmes could tell. Mr. Holmes is the founder, superintendent and general manager of the school, and should know all about it if anybody does. He says they come from “‘all around.’ “SHOOT THE HAT.”’ Mr. Holmes has two policemen there keeping order every Sunday—keeping order as King Canute kept back the waves on the seashore. Not that the children are misbehaved ; far’from. it, indeed. But child nature and _policeman nature are different. It is the most natural thing in the world-for a child—a boy child, pretty big for his age—to throw a snow ball at a tall hat, and it is just as natural for a policeman to box that boy’s ears—if he can catch him: Given 2,000 boys, two policemen, plenty of snow, and a tall hat, the chances are bad for the hat. The only tall hat that is sacred around Clayburn Avenue Sunday afternoons is the one Mr. Holmes wears, and even that has not always escaped. The-children begin to gather about 2 o’clock, and by 2:30 there are usually about 2,000 on the ground. By that hour-they begin to form in sections on the-street. Some of them, it will be observed, carry blue banners. The banners are suspended on long poles, and each pole is tipped with a tin spear. Each banner has a different number painted on it in large white figures. For instance, here is a square shouldered little woman of about eight who is carrying a banner numbered ‘‘18.’’ A little boy with a kettledrum has beaten a tatto—the signal to “get ready.’’ The little girl with the “18’’ banner goes down nearly to the corner of the street, raises her banner in the air and stands ready. Presently a host of other little girls of about the same size—whose earliest they belong to -‘‘Section 18”—gatheér around the little girl with the banner. THEN THE DRUM BEATS. Again and the little girls form in line, with their standard bearer in the van. Meantime about forty other standard bearers have been gathering their hosts around them in similar fashion. The full strength of each company is 100—the school being divided into sections of 100 pupils, and there are about:forty-five of the companies or sections, all told. Once more the drum is beaten and then the march begins. ‘Section 1’—Mr, Holmes would call it *% mpany A,” the same as the State n & «ia, only that the alphabet is not big enough for his regimeit—‘‘Section 1,” as was about to be remarked, takes the lead. and marches, upstairs to the diamond ,000 divided into 400 shares at a par The steepest gr _. its teacher is Mr. Holmes. ‘Holmes were to ask his class,—‘Who ¢ qf: i s : -: . —> % On the 25th day of January, 1874, a meeting was held in this city to consider the subject of building a narrow gauge railroa d from here to connect with the Central Pacific railroad at Colfax. A conference committee of ten each from this place and Grass Valley was appointed, and they named a sub-committee of nw ate ta a bill to provide for the construction of the road. The bill passed the Legislature on the 11th day of March, and nine days later it became Scene on the Line of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad—Bear River Bridge. Boe = 4 We soa tear aa 1, ‘The company incorporated without a.subsidy. On the 24th of the same month fhe incorporators met and fixed the the shape of a diamond one would wear in his scarf pin. “Section 2” follows, and then ‘‘Section 3;*.and so on until all are inside and seated.> TAUGHT IN ONE-CLASS, This Sunday school is taught like no other Sunday school in the universe. There dré no teachers ‘and classes in the ordinary sense; the whole school of 3,000 or more in one big class, and Tf Mr. was it.dropped dead because: he told lies ?”” there would be no smart boy at the head of tlie-class to jump up and get all the credit forthe answer. Instead of that 3,000 shrill voices would yell ‘‘ ‘Nias’’—that is, if they knew. Mr. Holmes lectures and questions 3,000 as one pupil and—talks-to-them only in one language, whether they be German, Russian, Scandinavian, Polish, Bohemian, French or Italian. If their souls are to be saved they must be saved in English. Mr. Holmes believes in this wholesale tuition, and he certainly hasa right to. One of his pet phrases is “the enthusiasm of numbers.”’ The fact is, all Mr. Holmes wants for a Sunday school is a big, warm hall, a couple of policemen, a cornet and piano player, and a few thousand children. Teachers are a luxury he can easily dispense with. At present he has forty or fifty assistants, whom he calls teachers, but all they do is to walk up and down the long aisles, find places for new arrivals, and keep the sections in order by a kind word here and A BOX ON THE EAR There, as occasion may warrant. By 3 o’clock the 3,000 children between the ages of 5 and 10 are seated in the main hall, filling it completely. Those under 5 are taught in the infant class and those over 10 or.so in the Bible class, these classes being taught in the anterooms or smaller halls. There is no confusion in the seating of the big crowd in the main hall; the pupils arrive in single file and’ march to their seats, the banner-bearer leading each section to its appointed place on the floor. When all-are seated Mr. Holmes mounts the platform, followed by: Fred Austin, the cornet-player; Miss Besley, the pianist; Mr. Goodwillie, the conductor,-and the. Rev. Mr. Lattimore, the pastor of the Central Church Mission. There are usually a few members of the Central Church “and other grown people and friends of the school present, and they also get seats on the platform. The platform is at. the apex of the diamond, the hall being so arranged that every one has a direct and unobstructed view of the teacher and his apparatus. Mr. Holmes begins by pulling to the center of the platform a large wooden frame—a cross between an-easel and a clotheshorse—from which is suspended a thick bundle of sheets of paper. Then he takes a long pointer and turns over the sheets until he finds one that pleases him. ‘Hymn 121,” he announces. The sheet he-has turned to view is covered in. black type that could be read-a block away, with a verse like this: ! stand up for Jesus! ~ Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His —— Danner, 1t must not suffer loss. Mr. Austin blows his cornet, Miss Besley. bangs: her piano, Mr. Goodwillie waves a white wand, Mr. Holmes swings his arms and 3,000 children, led by the cornet, the piano and the wand, lift up their voices in a chorus of song that makes the gas fittings visibly shiver. : A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT. It is really a magnificent sight, éufficient to infuse some enthusiasm: into the flintiest hearted cynic. Then there is prayer and then some more singing. The prayers are short and the singing jong, which is as the children like it. Then Mr. Holmes, or occasionally Mr. Lattimore, delivers the address of the day. It isno stupid, extemporaneous tion, “bristling “With fresh anecdotes’ D, Vinton is agent for thisvaluable us and exhorts and teaches the whole obvious morals.

School iS-eyer dt4. The boy at the further apex the hall beats a march on his peg a Holmes rings a bell, and section section file out slowly and in perfect order. The discipline is all that could be expected. Mr. Holmes keeps the roll of the children just the same way as he keeps the roll of the conductors and drivers ofthe street railway of which he is Superintendent and President. Eachchild on beinig.admitted to school is given an individual number and a card. : These numbers;with the addresses of the children, aré recorded in the roll-books. As the children_file out of school they show their cards;. and their numbers are noted and afterward checked on the attendance record so that itis known exactly who are present every Sunday. In cases of prolonged absence a letter of inquiry is sent, andif no reply is received a visit is made to the home of the child. The. following is a specimen of the letters received by Mr. Holmes: Your letter asking after Johnnie is here and I thank you for it. Johnnie cannot go te Sunday-school no more. He died last Tuesday, and all the time he was sick he talked about the school, and when your letter came he said I must get well right away and be there next Sunday sure. Then there is more , but no prayers Knights of Pythias Installation. The officers of Milo Lodge, No 48, K. of P.,. were installed Friday evening by B: 8.

Neither knows of the others advertisement, though both have adverti the same paper. Brass, an ecceiitric theatrical agent, comes in answer to Helen’s advertisement; but Helen, having advertised over the name of “George,” the latter encounters Brass, and a very comical scene ensues. Mr. Jordan, the father, a vain old widower, is-inlove with Clarinda Hastings, an old sthoolmate of Helen’s. Clarinda comes to-tell Helen of the fun she expects tohave from having answered a matrimonial advertisement in a newspaper. The advertisement, of course, was George’s, and veryludicrous love scenes follow between Clar> inda and father and son. Helen, who is “dying togo on the stage,’’ doesn’t succeed in her plans; but Brass; who has a fortune left him, finally marries her. Lucy, the maid, serves as an element of general confusion. Brass is constantly and mysteriously _intermingling with the affairs of the others. It-is almost impossible to synopsize in so.small a space the crowded ineidents of thisdrama. The six‘characters are of nearly equal importance, although Brass serves as a general go-between. ——— + +0 o Who Is Responsible? Several weeks ago the Transcrirt spoke of the friendliness the weather clerk was displaying for the builders of the Methodist parsonage on Broad street, and remarked that it wonl@ be a great accommodation to all concerned ifthe rain would only stay away till preacher Angwin and, family had moved into the new house and got their winter’s wood under cover. The house has been occupied: for several days, but there was alittle delay in the fuel arrangements and the last load of wood wasn’t put out of the way of wetness till Friday. Ata very early hour yesterday morning the rain began pouring down. The question arises, had thestorm been holding off till the parson’s wood was stowed away? In other words, is he responsible for the drouth that has occasioned-so much growling among the valley farmass? . And if so, should the strong language used by the farmers because of the extended dryness be charged to Mr. Angwin’s account?

THE. BOSS SUNDAY SCHOOL. Qutnumbering Nevada County's Entire Church-Going Population. DIVINE TRUTHS BY THE WHOLESALE. ee One Teacher and Two Policemen Run it to the Music of Cornet and Piano— Why One Boy Didn't Get There. Nevada City ordinarily feels proud of its Methodist Sunday “school numbering 250 members, but does not do any bragging to speak of when the Grass Valley Methodist Sunday school, six hundred strong come ‘marching along. But merge these two organizations into one, and it would take five of them with three hundred and fifty more children thrown in to make a stand-off to one in Chicago, called the Central Mission, which has 4500 children hardly any of them overten years old, on. its roll and is the largest in the world. The average attendance exceeds 3,000. The Tribune of that city thus tells all about it: Where the children all come from is a mystery. Maybe Mr. Holmes could tell. Mr. Holmes is the founder, superintendent and general manager of the school, and should know all about it if anybody does. He says they come from “‘all around.’ “SHOOT THE HAT.”’ Mr. Holmes has two policemen there keeping order every Sunday—keeping order as King Canute kept back the waves on the seashore. Not that the children are misbehaved ; far’from. it, indeed. But child nature and _policeman nature are different. It is the most natural thing in the world-for a child—a boy child, pretty big for his age—to throw a snow ball at a tall hat, and it is just as natural for a policeman to box that boy’s ears—if he can catch him: Given 2,000 boys, two policemen, plenty of snow, and a tall hat, the chances are bad for the hat. The only tall hat that is sacred around Clayburn Avenue Sunday afternoons is the one Mr. Holmes wears, and even that has not always escaped. The-children begin to gather about 2 o’clock, and by 2:30 there are usually about 2,000 on the ground. By that hour-they begin to form in sections on the-street. Some of them, it will be observed, carry blue banners. The banners are suspended on long poles, and each pole is tipped with a tin spear. Each banner has a different number painted on it in large white figures. For instance, here is a square shouldered little woman of about eight who is carrying a banner numbered ‘‘18.’’ A little boy with a kettledrum has beaten a tatto—the signal to “get ready.’’ The little girl with the “18’’ banner goes down nearly to the corner of the street, raises her banner in the air and stands ready. Presently a host of other little girls of about the same size—whose earliest they belong to -‘‘Section 18”—gatheér around the little girl with the banner. THEN THE DRUM BEATS. Again and the little girls form in line, with their standard bearer in the van. Meantime about forty other standard bearers have been gathering their hosts around them in similar fashion. The full strength of each company is 100—the school being divided into sections of 100 pupils, and there are about:forty-five of the companies or sections, all told. Once more the drum is beaten and then the march begins. ‘Section 1’—Mr, Holmes would call it *% mpany A,” the same as the State n & «ia, only that the alphabet is not big enough for his regimeit—‘‘Section 1,” as was about to be remarked, takes the lead. and marches, upstairs to the diamond ,000 divided into 400 shares at a par The steepest gr _. its teacher is Mr. Holmes. ‘Holmes were to ask his class,—‘Who ¢ qf: i s : -: . —> % On the 25th day of January, 1874, a meeting was held in this city to consider the subject of building a narrow gauge railroa d from here to connect with the Central Pacific railroad at Colfax. A conference committee of ten each from this place and Grass Valley was appointed, and they named a sub-committee of nw ate ta a bill to provide for the construction of the road.. The bill passed the Legislature on the 11th day of March, and nine days later it became Scene on the Line of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad—Bear River Bridge. Boe = 4 We soa tear aa 1, ‘The company incorporated without a.subsidy. On the 24th of the same month fhe incorporators met and fixed the the shape of a diamond one would wear in his scarf pin. “Section 2” follows, and then ‘‘Section 3;*.and so on until all are inside and seated.> TAUGHT IN ONE-CLASS, This Sunday school is taught like no other Sunday school in the universe. There dré no teachers ‘and classes in the ordinary sense; the whole school of 3,000 or more in one big class, and Tf Mr. was it.dropped dead because: he told lies ?”” there would be no smart boy at the head of tlie-class to jump up and get all the credit forthe answer. Instead of that 3,000 shrill voices would yell ‘‘ ‘Nias’’—that is, if they knew. Mr. Holmes lectures and questions 3,000 as one pupil and—talks-to-them only in one language, whether they be German, Russian, Scandinavian, Polish, Bohemian, French or Italian. If their souls are to be saved they must be saved in English. Mr. Holmes believes in this wholesale tuition, and he certainly hasa right to. One of his pet phrases is “the enthusiasm of numbers.”’ The fact is, all Mr. Holmes wants for a Sunday school is a big, warm hall, a couple of policemen, a cornet and piano player, and a few thousand children. Teachers are a luxury he can easily dispense with. At present he has forty or fifty assistants, whom he calls teachers, but all they do is to walk up and down the long aisles, find places for new arrivals, and keep the sections in order by a kind word here and A BOX ON THE EAR There, as occasion may warrant. By 3 o’clock the 3,000 children between the ages of 5 and 10 are seated in the main hall, filling it completely. Those under 5 are taught in the infant class and those over 10 or.so in the Bible class, these classes being taught in the anterooms or smaller halls. There is no confusion in the seating of the big crowd in the main hall; the pupils arrive in single file and’ march to their seats, the banner-bearer leading each section to its appointed place on the floor. When all-are seated Mr. Holmes mounts the platform, followed by: Fred Austin, the cornet-player; Miss Besley, the pianist; Mr. Goodwillie, the conductor,-and the. Rev. Mr. Lattimore, the pastor of the Central Church Mission. There are usually a few members of the Central Church “and other grown people and friends of the school present, and they also get seats on the platform. The platform is at. the apex of the diamond, the hall being so arranged that every one has a direct and unobstructed view of the teacher and his apparatus. Mr. Holmes begins by pulling to the center of the platform a large wooden frame—a cross between an-easel and a clotheshorse—from which is suspended a thick bundle of sheets of paper. Then he takes a long pointer and turns over the sheets until he finds one that pleases him. ‘Hymn 121,” he announces. The sheet he-has turned to view is covered in. black type that could be read-a block away, with a verse like this: ! stand up for Jesus! ~ Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His —— Danner, 1t must not suffer loss. Mr. Austin blows his cornet, Miss Besley. bangs: her piano, Mr. Goodwillie waves a white wand, Mr. Holmes swings his arms and 3,000 children, led by the cornet, the piano and the wand, lift up their voices in a chorus of song that makes the gas fittings visibly shiver. : A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT. It is really a magnificent sight, éufficient to infuse some enthusiasm: into the flintiest hearted cynic. Then there is prayer and then some more singing. The prayers are short and the singing jong, which is as the children like it. Then Mr. Holmes, or occasionally Mr. Lattimore, delivers the address of the day. It isno stupid, extemporaneous tion, “bristling “With fresh anecdotes’ D, Vinton is agent for thisvaluable us and exhorts and teaches the whole obvious morals.

School iS-eyer dt4. The boy at the further apex the hall beats a march on his peg a Holmes rings a bell, and section section file out slowly and in perfect order. The discipline is all that could be expected. Mr. Holmes keeps the roll of the children just the same way as he keeps the roll of the conductors and drivers ofthe street railway of which he is Superintendent and President. Eachchild on beinig.admitted to school is given an individual number and a card. : These numbers;with the addresses of the children, aré recorded in the roll-books. As the children_file out of school they show their cards;. and their numbers are noted and afterward checked on the attendance record so that itis known exactly who are present every Sunday. In cases of prolonged absence a letter of inquiry is sent, andif no reply is received a visit is made to the home of the child. The. following is a specimen of the letters received by Mr. Holmes: Your letter asking after Johnnie is

here and I thank you for it. Johnnie cannot go te Sunday-school no more. He died last Tuesday, and all the time he was sick he talked about the school, and when your letter came he said I must get well right away and be there next Sunday sure.

Neither knows of the others advertisement, though both have adverti the same paper. Brass, an ecceiitric theatrical agent, comes in answer to Helen’s advertisement; but Helen, having advertised over the name of “George,” the latter encounters Brass, and a very comical scene ensues. Mr. Jordan, the father, a vain old widower, is-inlove with Clarinda Hastings, an old sthoolmate of Helen’s. Clarinda comes to-tell Helen of the fun she expects tohave from having answered a matrimonial advertisement in a newspaper. The advertisement, of course, was George’s, and veryludicrous love scenes follow between Clar> inda and father and son. Helen, who is “dying togo on the stage,’’ doesn’t succeed in her plans; but Brass; who has a fortune left him, finally marries her. Lucy, the maid, serves as an element of general confusion. Brass is constantly and mysteriously _intermingling with the affairs of the others. It-is almost impossible to synopsize in so.small a space the crowded ineidents of thisdrama. The six‘characters are of nearly equal importance, although Brass serves as a general go-between. ——— + +0 o Who Is Responsible? Several weeks ago the Transcrirt spoke of the friendliness the weather clerk was displaying for the builders of the Methodist parsonage on Broad street, and remarked that it wonl@ be a great accommodation to all concerned ifthe rain would only stay away till preacher Angwin and, family had moved into the new house and got their winter’s wood under cover. The house has been occupied: for several days, but there was alittle delay in the fuel arrangements and the last load of wood wasn’t put out of the way of wetness till Friday. Ata very early hour yesterday morning the rain began pouring down. The question arises, had thestorm been holding off till the parson’s wood was stowed away? In other words, is he responsible for the drouth that has occasioned-so much growling among the valley farmass? . And if so, should the strong language used by the farmers because of the extended dryness be charged to Mr. Angwin’s account?
