a very Large Meeting Las. Night in tn

A Very Large Meeting Last Night in the
Tent.
The largest meeting of the series wac
held last night in the Pacific Gospel
Mission tent. The large platform was
filed with singers, and the 30-minute
song service preceding the preaching was
most enjoyable. Mrs. Joseph Moffatt
sang very impressive solo entitled
Building for Eternity. The Mission
ouartette sang two numbers.
Evangelist Frank L. Smith preached a
powerful sermon from the words mot
every one that saith unto Ne Lord, Lord.
shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven !;
but ne that doeth the will OF NY Father
which is in Heaven"-Matt. 7:2l. Dur
ing the discourse tho evangelist men
toned the triumphant death of George
LUoO, which oCcurrod in thin city 5atur-
day night. Mr.. Lsbo was leader OF the
singing for Mr.. Smith about year ago,
and was shortly after stricken with con-
sumption.
Seventy-6ve hungry persons partook
OF the FREQ breakfast al z 80 q. m, and at
the gospel service Immediately follow
ing, DR.. Hutchins, a minister from Bos-
ton, Mass. made the address.
The workers report several conversions
at both morning and evening meetings.
Three meetings will be held on
Wednesday, at 10 80 a. M, 8 80 and 7 80
pm. There will be Bible reading this
afternoon at 80 in the tent on Second
street, east OF San Pedro street.

Y. w D. A.

The gospel meeting was opened with
a devotional service led by Mrs. Bis
sell.
Mrs. ". B. Herriott of the First Pres.
byterian church made the address of the
afternoon. She said: "I desire to bring
a message of love to every heart today.
twill not be new truth but new light
onold truth"
Mrs. Herriott made beautiful expo
sition OF the laws that governed spir-
itusl and physical lie. She held that
without daily sustenance the body
could not do the work for which it was
created, and that ths same rule obtained
in spiritual existence. If we could not
at one meal fortify ourselves for days OF
fasting, no more could we hope to live
out the life Christ desires us to live, if
We neglected the spiritual sustenance
that He prepares and offers to us.
Prayer, unceasing and earnest, must go
up to God for daily, hourly. spiritual
foods.
Having this continual intercourse with
God would enable US to do the duties OF
each moment calmly and to represent
Him in the world.
Mrs. Hewitt quoted the following:
Power to the last particle is duty"
and said the responsibility that this car
ried with it was very great. Christ says
''fe are my Witnesses" and if SO then
must his witnesses see to it that this
bread of life so freely given to them is
offered to the sorrowful, hungry world.
Now" she said, sis the time for
Christian work. The bread of life should
be presented when we present temporal
help"
Mrs. Hewitt's influence has been
freely exerted for the Y. w. G. A. work
in this city and it is such devoted serv-
ice that will make it a success.
The Y. w. O. A. from the Normal
school will have charge of the gospel
meeting next Sunday.
Announcements was made OF the com.
ing missionary conference May 4th to
9th in which all young peoples societies
of this city unite. The programme as
read is strong one and it promises to
be one Of the great events in the city
young peoples work.

All soul. UnitsrIsn.

Rev. R. NJ. Webster. on the Import
apce of Honest Doubt. or the Danger OF
Believing Too kuch, said yesterday at
the Los Angeles theater that doubt is in
evitable when one begins to think. In
tellectual activity means doubt. All
great reforms and onward movements
are begun by certain brave and honest
doubters. Honest doubt means simply
the doubt felt by an honest mind that
will have the truth, the whole truth, and
the truth only, ii possible.
The danger of believing too much is
merely the danger of believing what Is
not true.
There is immeasurably greater danger
of believing too little.
Every brave and honest doubter is
brave and honest by reason of a great
faith, not by reason of doubt.

the man might have actually thought
be had money in the bank, where he
had had funds, consequently he de-
clined to Issue a warrant.
A Chinaman presented himself the
other day in Mr.. Davis' room who had
formerly been hie laundrymsn. He told
the deputy that he Was charged with
selling Chinese lottery tickets, and was
to be tried By Justice Austin. He
wanted Davis to fix it up for him.
Upon being interrogsted be said that
he had been down town one
day and couple of men
asked him to buy some lottery tickets
for them in Chinatown. He said he did
so and it turned out that they had put
up a job on him. He told Mr.. Davis
that he was sick in his stomach. Just
what that had to do with the case did
not appear. Mr.. Davis told him be
could do nothing for him. By bis own
confession he had committed the OIL
Tense. He said then to the ssd-taced
Celestial that he had better plead guilty
before Justice Austin and say nothing
about the sickness in his stomach, aud
the ChinRman went out saying he would
do 60, out that he was still sick in his
stomach.
The deputies who look after the civil
department of the Office do not have
near 80 many experiences as the gem
tlemen in charge of the criminal busi-
ness.
One very numerous class of persons
who iuiest the d'sgrict attorneys office as
they do newspaper offices, are those who
have found out something about officials
OF various degrees of responsibility.
These MEN are always and forever dis
covering venality and corruption, and
do not want their names used. but have
felt it their duty to tell the district at
torneY go that he can act.
Sometimes the information given re-
suits in bringing an offender to justice,
but nine times out of ten il is inspired
by malice or sheer desire TO gossip about
their neigh bors.
When the case is investigated and the
facts ascertained it proves in most in.
stances to be gu innocent mistake that
has been com nitted or an innocent ac-
ton perverted by the ghoullike imagi.
nation of the destroyer of character,
who has been masqueradng in the
guise of a public benetactor when he is
only public nuisance which cannot be
abated.
One prolific source OF expense for the
deputies in the district attorneys office
is the numerous neig borhood rows that
occur. In most of these cases the people
who seek relief are 80 embittered aga ns t
their neighbors that they can't see
straight to save their necks, and tn g
offenees complained of have assumed q
proportion out OF all comparison with
the real facts Murder itself is a small
thing to what they believe their enemies
have done, and they are the most diff
cult cases to disentsngle, requiring the
wisdom OF Solomon and the patience
of Job to do justice to them.
Four-ffths OF these cases are rele-
gated out of the Office, and even those
in which complaints are issued otter
pan out at the small end of the horn as
far as the prosecution is concerned.
The inside life OF the district attor-
ney'a Office is truly a varied experience
for those engaged in handling the crimi-
nal department.
