AT simpson tabernacle yesterday
morning Dr. Mclean preached an ex-
cellent sermon from Psalms 1872, on the
theme of church duties and liberal CIV
Ing for the support of the church and the
spread of the gospel. After the sermon
communion service was held, Rev. A.
}. Drury assisting the pastor in the SER
vice.
In the evening DR.. Mclean spoke from
Ecclesiastes 2:12:3-Remember thy Gre
ator In the days Of thy youth. The intro
duction of the speaker as he portrayed
the grandeur of King Solomon was elo-
quent, after which he said: Young men,
want to speak to you! Remember thy
Creator in the days of thy youth. Thy
life will be failure without God in the
world; How many look up to God and
ask him to keep them in the right and
ready to do the right. God calls upon
men and nations for their good to have
him before their eyes. Where God Is
not honored in the life of man there Is
unrest. In the scramble for thrones
and presidential chairs men have for
gotten themselves, and sold themselves
for naught, and they went down to their
graves in the shadow of blasted fame
and bitter regret filling their hearts.
Men have written their envy of their
fellows. and posterity has read. and
their record has become immortal 1t is
better to love and be happy than to hate
and be miserable. Remember thy crea-
tor In thy youth, 1t will save you from a
thousand snares. You are enjoying the
only youth you will have this side Of
eternity Religion does not make youth
old. but 1t makes age young. Do not
think for one moment that money will
buy everything. yet 1t Is not the root OF
all evil. The love Of money is the root
of all evil. Did wealth and all the gold
OF Ophir bring happiness to King Sol
omon? No. for he says, Trust not in
riches What say to the young men
] say to all-Remember thy Creator in
the days Of thy youth. Do right; keep
God always before thy eyes and happi-
ness will be thine.
The Schubert quartet, after the ser
mon. in that sweet, blending melody
which sang the words right into the
hearts of their hearers, rendered Re-

Of Thy Youth, by Rhodes. .i- -.

At the Los Angeles Theater the Har-
monial Society OF Spiritualists held their
usual Sunday services, conducted by
their regular speakers, Mrs. Ada Foye,
lately from Chicago. There was an ex
ira morning session at 10:30, occasioned
by the presence in Los Angeles of H. d.
Barrett, president of the national asso-
citation of Spiritualists.l located at WASH
ington,' D. c. w. ]. COlville assisted in
the speaking. At the close Of the after
noon conference Mr.. Barrett also ad-
dressed the audience upon Evolution,
while Mrs. Foye closed the meeting
with one of her seances, giving many
names and messages from the so-called
dead" A large and attentive assem-
blage at the evening exercises testified
the great interest skeptics, as well as
spiritualists, feel as to the future state
of existence. The subject for the dis
course was Life in the Spirit World"
Mrs Foye's address was preceded by
solo by Mr.. Chas. Lewis entitled Rock
Me to Sleep, Mother. Briefly outlined.
the lecturer said: Theologlans and poets
have sung the praises of far-off hea-
ven or warned us of the horrors of a
hell. while the new dispensation. or spir-
itualism, reveals the facts. Everybody
is interested in their future destination.
Sin is largely result of earthly condi-
tions. Spiritualists. unlike their creed
bound brothers, feel liberty in investi-
eating the beyond. The future, direct
and natural result of this, is q condition
of action, of accomplishment; not
place of rest. A spirit mother, with q
genuine motherly heart, cannot be obliv-
ious nor unsympathetic to their chill
dren's sufferings on earth nor any low
ing relation impervious to earthly un-
happiness. The act Of dying does not
change the character. Indolent mortals
make indolent spirits. Suicides do not
get rid Of themselves. but regret the
deed. We make our hell or heaven there
as here.
