EAST SIDE PARK
One Of the Popular Sunday Resorts Of the
CITY


City
Among the popular Sunday resorts within
easy access from the center of the city,
East Side park is one of the most beautiful.
Since the opening of the electric car line
which runs directly to the gates the num-
Der of weekly visitors has greatly increased.
Formerly owing to the great distance Sc
parating it from the west side of the city
the place was not widely known and few
were aware tina such splendid park exist
ed. As a matter of fact no prettier spot
can be found in this vicinity. The variety
of scenery is far superior to that usually
found in city parks. The lake occupying
the central portion of the reservation has
been surrounded with we'll kept lawns and
walks and the stream which furnishes the
supply of water is so directed as to wind
around in separate branches forming little
islands which are CONNECTED with the main
land by bridges. In it's way to the lake the
stream falls over several cascades adding
greatly to the picturesqueness OF the scene.
Wide drives penetra te the grounds in
every direction and extend along the hills
between long rows of palms backed with
heavy woods of eucalyptus. Flowers
abound in every direction, and in the large
Conservatives are many varieties OF rare
and beautiful plants.
Outside of the park are several attract
ions in the way of menageries. The chief
interest in these rests in the fact that they
contain numerous specimens of California
animal life, including the black bear.
coyotes. eagles and other animals. Both of
the institutions are kept in connection with
restaurants and stores, and all purchasers
are admitted free of charge.

gave very interesting lecture on Sorrow +;
Its Cause and Cure, and said in part;
That tho eternal and universal, REIGN of
law is not understood nv man. Science
seeks for the action of law only in physical
matter aud denies its operation on the
planes of soul and shirt. Theology postll.
iaies the absolute and then proceeds to de.
fine il in terms of matter. Man left thus
ignorant of the knowledge and exclamation
of life, with all its variations, its pain and
sorrow. its lows and homes. naturally he ara
his main and sorrow with pi,eous COM
plaint and reyolts against it and God.
Theosophy shows that in the light of JUS
tire. which reigns universally throughout
nature, mans sorrow and pain are the
effects of causes he alone has generated.
either il, this or some previous life that he
alone is RESPONSIBLE for his condition. Bad
laws. uueu,ial distribution of wealth, are
not the cailse of mans sorrow, Our laws
today are The sum total of the thought of
the time. We violate these: better ones
would be violated, Better men will be
necessary 10 live M 10 better laws. Social
reform 10 be etfectual must reform the iu-
diyiduals who now violate tue laws, else
better laws would be worse violated.
Self-conscious man endowed with reason
has the power 10 choose right from wrong.
If the latter is his choice The effect is pain
and sorrow. This will bring him back to
the straight line of the law. This he re.
peas day by day. life after life, until he
learns aid gains the power to live in har-
mony with law. This is life's great object,
the evolution OF the soul. Nature never
compromises, never forgets. never forgives.
Man must paw the price of his trausgres-
sions; s.for rigid Justice rules the world,''
and man is no eyren,ion TO the law Know

First NJ. L. church

At the First Methodist Episcopal church
in the evening the pastor, Rev. DR.. John A.
B. Wilson, discoursed upon The Gospel of
the Star, from Matt. % FOR we have
seen his star in the east and are come hither
to worship him
he said in part:
Seven hundred and fifty years of Roman
civilization and conquest had brought al
most the whole world under that domina-
ton. Her laws. her civilization, her roads,
were everywhere, highways cast up foi the
feet of the coming prince of peace.
The knowledge oil the Jewish scriptures
had spread over The earth and the proph-
ecy of Daniel as TO 4 on was so known that
there existed an universal expectation OF a
great king.
Even in far Off exclusive China. so vivid
was their expectation of the Messiah, the
great saint whom Confucius SEQ years be-
fore said was TO appear liz the west, that,
after waiting until sixty years after his
coming for him 10 1ind them, they sent out
envoys to find him. They on their Journey
meeting the disciples Of Buddha coming
from India with a story of a divine incar-
nation, and mistsking them for the disciples
OF the one Christ whom they were seeking,
bore back as such to their countrynen the
worship and teachings of BudClha.
The star was Gods guide TO these east
ern inqurers. Nor will the serious seeker
after truth ever be left without a guide.
''The secret Of the Lord is with those that
fear him, and he will show them his cove
nant
This is the story of the star. Among its
teachings learn that there is an east to the
life of every one in which this star appears.
] mean, there is a point of life from which
indications of the Master may be recog-
Rized.
Suppose the hypothesis of planetary con-
