D. Stephens steps into the vacancy. Senator Johnson considers that in the crisis which is now confronting the nation, California should be fully represented at the extra session which has been called by President Wilson to convene on April 16. In a statement issued Monday he said: "I shall resign as Governor on Thursday, March 15, at noon. In reaching my decision, I have not considered any individual's desires, my own or any other person's. "I have in mind but one thought—my obligation and my duty to the people of California, who by an overwhelming majority have expressed a confidence in me and who have treated me with a generosity seldom accorded to any man in public life. "Our nation' now confronts a great international crisis in which California should play a part. The extra session of Congress renders it imperative that every representative should lend his presence and his aid in this crisis." 50 Years Ago March 10, 1892 TRUSTEES MEET The Board of City trustees met yesterday afternoon in regular session, all members present. The marshal reported the collection of $328.25 for water and license, off $17.90 for commission, balance turned over, $340.35.

No bids were received for putting in the casing and boring the well at the city water works. The work was referred to the committee on public improvements to have it done. Bills to the amount of $407.42 were audited and ordered paid. CHRIST, SCIENTIST "Substance" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in a Churches of Christ, Scientist. The Golden Text is from Hebrew. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." One of the Bible selections the Lesson-Sermon presents these verses from Acts: "And a certain man lame from his mother's work was carried, whom they laid down at the gate of the temple which called Beautiful, to ask alms them that entered into the temple Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked alms... Then Peter said, Silva and gold hath I none; but such I have give I thee: In the name Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: immediately his feet and ankles received strength. And leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God." The Lesson-Sermon includes so these statements from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The substance of all devotion is the reflection and demonstration of our love, healing sickness and destroying sin. Our Master said: 'If ye love me, keep my commandments.'" "Love of God and men is the true incentive in both hearing and teaching." the people of California, who by an overwhelming majority have expressed a confidence in me and who have treated me with a generosity seldom accorded to any man in public life. "Our nation now confronts a great international crisis in which California should play a part. The extra session of Congress renders it imperative that every representative should lend his presence and his aid in this crisis. "By continuing for a brief period as Governor I could not better perform my duty or repay my obligations to the people of California, and my remaining might make it more difficult for my successor to perform his full duty to our people. "I shall therefore resign on Thursday and prepare to do my part for California in the nation's council."
