A BOOM FOR THE HEIGHTS.
The Cummings Tract Sold on
Saturday Afternoon.
A Geological Garden to Be Estab-
lished There.
Au Immense Horticultural Garden and
Park Part of the Plans of the Pur-
ohasera, who Pay S45, 900
for the 90 Acres.

1t will be matter OF qualification to
every resident of Boyle Heights, or rather
the Ninth ward, to learn that the long
stretch of vacant land on both sides Of
First street "in the flats" from a point
just east OF Rio street to the foot of the
hill is to rdergo extensive improvements.
The deeds for the sale of the property
were signed by Mr.. George Cummings,
the owner. on Saturday evening and the
purchasers are Meesrs. Wells and Mudd,
two eastern scspitalists, who propose
to Immediately proceed to improve the
tract. The price paid for the land, which
embraces nearly 20 acres, now partially
used az Chinese vegetable garden, was
$45 ,O00, and the parties enter into i'm
mediate possession Of the same. The lines
of the property conveyed extend 1850
feet along the north side Of First street
with depth OF 238 feet, and 1850 feet
along the south line of the same thor
oughfSre with depth of 295 feet. The
purchasers of the land, which has prac-
ticaily been q barren waste, Messrs.
Wells and Mudd, propose to build fine
geological garden on the north side OF
the tract, much in the same style as
Woodward's garden in San Franci cisco.
This will be stocked with large COL
lection of rare animals. The south side
of the tract will be beauti6ed and con-
verted into park. wherein will be
erectedia fine building to be used for
restaurant purposes, while the park
surrounding the building will be used
for purposes of recreation, and some
portions of it will be built up with resi-
dences, One of che features of the park
will be horticultural garden, which
will be modelled on the style of Shaw's
famous garden in st. Louis, and will
be filled with the rarest and
choicest flowers. The soil OF the tract
is rich alluvial loan, as fertile as the
silt of the Nile, and there can be no
question that this floral garden will be
one OF the great show places o. Southern
California. The improvement of this
large tract of vacant land lying on the
other side of the First street viaduct
will more closely link the Ninth ward
with the center of the city, and it will
undoubtedly have the effect of further
enhancing the value OF real estate in
that desirable residence section of the
city,

church obligation. There is a tendency
of the church, and any reference to
the financial side seems rude
intrusion. We have fallen into way OF
separating the purely spiritual part from
the financial part of church affairs, and
the ,rssult has been that the financial
side has lost caste and become wholly
secular. The Bible affords no warrant
for our modern practice OF distinguish
ing religious acts az sacred and secular.
Why, indeed, is not the dollar rightly
given as holy as the prayer rightly Of
fered? The former, which lays the ak
at the root of human selhahness, is sure.

the latter, which. il may be, requires
little or no sacrifice. We talk a great

piety that allows euch phrase to have
any Significance.
The speaker then reviewed briefly the
tithe system OF the ancient Jewish econ
omy, and then passed to a statement Of
the condition OF the local church. Aa to
the question, How much should man
give to religious purposes he held that
the New Testament idea was not the
giving of fixed tithe, but proportion
ate giving ''as the Lord hath prospered
you" He did not believe in the old law
OF the tenth. 1t is not Christian to draw
sharp lines OF commercial bargain with
God. The whole question is not a
matter OF law, but OF conservation. The
pastor closed with the explanation OF q
new scheme of church contribution to be
introduced into the church.

At Los Angelica theater Rev. r. NJ.
Webster spoke Of the kingdom OF God
as having an inside and AN outside, as
relating to atoms and molecules, also as
relating to mind and morals. Gods
kingdom has always come is here, there
and everywhere in the one realm-the
physical; but depends fer its coming on
the consent OF the governed"-in the
spiritual realm.
and IN the distillation OF alcohol, Gods
always act as God wills. The drink
when tskan will act upon stomach,
brain and nerve exactly as Ged ordains !;
the results IN poverty, disgrace, degener-
scy and misery will be entirely according
to the laws OF body. of mind and OF alco-
hOl, as God had wilad them.
As to the aaleonist, If he is temperate
and careful, his food will nourish him,
the air will iavigorate him, the light
make all things visible to him, and the
planet with all its forces will serve him
quite the came 40 if he were saint.
For thess things are in the realm of the
material and mechanical, where Gods
will ia always done. But while God or
dams the man and all the functions of
his b8ay, and the planet with all its
laws and forces, he also ordains that his
rational children shall be free to choose
their own way, to do good or to do evil.
Hence while his kingdom is always
come, as TO things, it depends for its
coming, as to persons, upsn what tn ey
choose.

Rev. A. @. Smither preached last
night to good audience upon Joseph as
Model Young Man. The speaker said
it is natural to follow models. Among
ali models OF Bible character mono ex-
cept Christ 30 nearly approach perfec-
tion as Joseph. A number of his traits
merit our emulation.
lie vas a model in personal purity /;
notV ithstanding the fact that much vice
WAC prevalent in the age in which he
lived he held himself apart from evil
contaminations. Though a slave, a
prisoner and potentste, he preserved his
purity alike in all stations. In this age
OF vice it is needful that young men
should preserve themselves from con-
tamination with evil.
He was model in fidelity, in faithful
ness, in all walks of life. As son, slave,
prisoner and ruler he was faithful. This
is an age calling for fidelity in the
various vocRtions OF life. 1t is an age,
too, that will reward eRrnestness and
truth.
He was a model in self-control, though
subjected to many and severe trials.
Few men were subjected to greater
temptations than he. In modern times
young men need to keep watch over
their passions which will lead them to
ruin; over their desires for companion
ship which engulf many noble young
men in ruin; over their desire for pos
sessions, which is one of the great evils
OF the age; and over their conduct and
character, for by them their destiny will
be determined.
He WAS a moral in piety, did not hesi--
tate to recognize the hand OF God in all
his affairs and the affairs of men. He
was not of that class who think piety
suitable for women, children and old
men, but not for men in mature life. AS
result of his piety. his unswerving in
tegrity, he was richly rewarded.
He was a model of promotion. He
aspired to be somebody and do some
thing in the world, and utilized every
opportunity for advancement. Today
the world has countless positions OF
honor and power that are calling for
young men of worth and integrity
Young men should ever aspire to such
places Of honor and power.
There are in Joseph's history many
lessons for the earnest, pious young man
to learn.

Mathew, xvi, "a: "If any man will
come after me let him deny himself and
take up his cross and follow me-"
The minister said he wished to con-
tinue the subject of last Sunday morn
ing on Self Denial and Gross Bearing.
He said: The Savior had left An hum
Bile example of cross bearing. With
humility and sorrow he bore the cross
while the iniquity of us all WAS laid
upon him. Duty may bring self denial
and burdens to us that NAV at times
seem heavy, but the reward that comes
with work we'll and faithfully done is
glorious. What is needed in all church
es and in all the world is the Civ
ing up of self and the eelf-
sacrificing spirit manifested for the
good OF others. Let this spirit
prevail throughout the Christian church
and her altars will be crowded with
seekers after salvation and this world
will be brought to Christ. At the close

FOR THE NECEsSITOUs.
The Salvation Army to Help the
Hungry and Homeless.

The Health and Police Committee OF the
Board of Supervisors decided yesterday TO
recommend the proposition OF Captain Nc
Fee of the Salvation Army to temporarily
provide for those without shelter at a cost TO the
city OF 1919 cents night for each person. At
present the city pays 25cents night at the Old
City Hall to feed about 800 OF those wilbout
shelter. The daily cost to the city is $50 for
making this provision foI the unemployed.
Supervisor Dundon and Stanton who were
inclined TO be antagonistic to the scheme, did
not make any opposition to the proposition
when IL came up for consideration Yesterday
Supervisor Dundon stated that lie had inyesti-
gated the matter very fully since the last meet
ing Of the commit lee and had Changed his
mind as 10 the advisablllty OF Tie scheme
which he now favored as the best plan for civ.
ing temporary relief TO the homeless at the least
expense to the city.
The chief condition Of the Salvation Army In
Its agreement to provide for those without
shelter Is that the city shall give the army rem
free that portion of The old City Hall known as
the hall of records. The Salvation Army pro-
poses TO shelter the unemployed in This place
and Will provide a supper, blanket aud bunk
and breakfast for all deserving cases applying.
No more people will receive shelter at lie
prisons, as formerly. The Salvation Army Will
