other celebrated Bible conferences. as
Keswick, Mildmay and Grunwald con-
ferences. The type Of spiritual atmos-

activity in Mt. Hermon school, North

that she may be mistaken as to hav-

things of little value. The old lady gave
White So, all she had, and asked him to
bring the articles from the depot. He
did rot do SO. because on looking at the
merchandise he found that it was almost
worthless and could not be used. The
stuff has accordingly laid in the depot.

in the hearing of the speaker last sum-
mer at Northfield 1t was shown that
in however careful historical manner the
Word was studied it would not disclose
its deepest and truest meaning without
prayerful meditation, and that prayer
was too often but selfish begging until
enriched and directed by Bible study.
The Bible and Work their compile
mentary nature. was the topic, and from
study of Tim. 2:15 and 3:16 it was
shown that the Word was a textbook
for workers-its promises largely to
those in some active service. Its truths
are oftimes not apparent until tested in
the hard school of active service.
The one who goes with the Word in
one hand and his work in the other shall
find new light streaming from the Word
upon his work; shall find new evidence
of its truth furnished by His work.
The doctrines of sin and salvation as
taught in the Word are never so clearly
understood as when studied in the school
of practical rescue work

BOGUS PAPER PILING UP
Many Complaints OF Crooked Dealing
Made Against Ed Hoist
Detectives Digging Up Evidence Which
Shows Him In a Bad Light-For ged

From present appearances Ed Hoist,
the young man arrested Friday after
noon on a charge of passing a forged
check for Sc upon Mr. Hart of the Natick
house, is in a bad box and is guilty of
not one but many such little slips of bus
mess etiquette, such as passing worthless
paper.
Detective Auble yesterday swore to a
complaint charging felony for the Hart
check, and is busy digging up other
cases of like character. 1t appears that
on July IL Hols\ tried to pass the same
check upon a Main street clothier named
Cline, but it was refused. The instru-
ment was drawn on the Farmers and
Merchants bank, signed by H. r. Hen
derson and payable to Hoist.
Simon Maier, the Spring street butch
er, is also a sufferer. One of his clerks. a
couple Of weeks ago. cashed a check for
$3.50 drawn on the Merchants National
bank in favor of Hoist, signed by G. II.
Marshall, dater July 3. When payment
on the check was refused at the bank,
Hoist was told that he must make the
check good but failed to do so.
Some four months ago Hoist passed a
check upon j. Roster then proprietor
OF Spring street restaurant. Upon it
honored. Mr. Roster called Hoist to ac-
count for it and he promised if given the
check to take it out and secure the
money. Giving Roster an |. O. L. for IS,
he took the instrument but never came
back and the latter has only the receipt
to show for his missing cash

was already in trouble, being out on

where he had previously been arraigned
and withdrew from his bail bond, saying
they would have nothing more to do with
him.
1t is also proba BILE that the music deal
ers, Blanchard & Fitzgerald, will have
something to say in regard to an organ
deal they had with Hoist A couple OF
weeks ago Hoist made a bargain with
one of their clerks whereby he rented al
organ on monthly payments, signing d
fictitious name to the receipt. To S. P
Creasinger, money lender, he later

his own property.

Hoist was formerly a fireman at the en-

Gus occupations, but of late has done lit

YESTERDAYS PIGEON RACE
Birds Made Better Time Than the Train By
Twelve Tinutes

Last evening at o'clock the the hom-
ers belonging to the several different
fanciers in Los Angeles were liberated
at Santa Monica for the third race. The
weather was somewhat foggy at the sea-
side but at Los Angeles it was good.
The first returns were to the lofts OF
b. Casenave of 519 Crocker street and
O. Il. Zahn, AT South Hope street All
of their birds arrived in flock at 1924
p. M, thus making by far the best speed
in the three races.
1t will be noticed that the aerial racers
have been making much better time
each successive fly. Unless stiff IA
vorable wind is met with in the future
much better time than this cannot be ex-
pected. One of the homers had Previous
ly been away from it's home but once in
it's lifetime, and that was last Wedneg-
day. when it was liberated half way to
Santa Monica. This bird was one of Mr..
Casenave's and deserves much credit
for it's twenty-four minute record.
