AT SIMPSON TABERNACLE
Sermon by Rev. fir. Cochran in the forming
Praise Service

| Services at Simpson tabernacle were
| we'll attended yesterday morning, Rev
! George Cochran, D. D.. filled the pulpit
| for DR. Mclean, cmoosing for his tex
Isaiah vi. g. "Whom shall l send, ant
who will go for US? And 1 said here an
l, send me-"
The speaker said in part The deatl
of King Uzziah occurred over seven hun
dred years before Christ, having ruled
over Judah tifty-two years. He served
God, and prospered, but he became
vain as did his people, and while he was
attempting to administer the priestly
office and burn incense in the temple.
he was smitten of God with leprosy and
went out of the temple never to return.
He was expelled from the throne and
died an exiled leper. About this time
isaiah, young man. appeared among
the Jewish people and responded to the
call of the Lord and received the divine
inspiration. which fitted him to look
into the future and foretell the doom
and fall of his nation and proclaim
the coming redeemer of the world. who
would come to his own and be rejected
by them.
The prophet in his vision beheld a
throne. but it was not the throne of the
Almighty, and He sat upon it.
Inc call that came to Isaiah is but the
call that may come to each one of us
ana we should be ready equipped, and
waiting to respond. Here am |. send
me-" This call and this response should
go into all the walks and fvenues of
International. political and religious 1t
should permeate politics, trade. literature
and science. Do you ask where to go?
Go where the vinyard needs vine dress
ers Go where the harvest is bending
white for the sickle and reap for the
Master, and earn thy reward to the ap-
proval of the final welcome. Come, ye
blessed of my Father; inherit the king

AFTER MANY YEARS
The Reunion Of a Long Separated Family
Yesterday

An affecting reunion occurred yester-
day at the Natick house between Will
lam Sturtevant of Sierra Madre and his
family, whom he had not seen for six
teen years. Sturtevant left his home
in Illinois in 1880, and went to Colorado
in search of gold. He moved from camp
to camp and letters from home failed to
reach him. Finally his wife took her
children and moved to Ohio, thinking
her husband was dead. In turn Sturte-
want thought his wife dead and children
scattered, as he could get no trace of
them.
He finally drifted to California, and
has been working taking charge of the
burroS which are used on the Mount
Wilson trail. A tourist one day recog-
nized him and told Sturtevant that his
wife and family were still living. giving
him their address. He wrote Immediate
ly, with the result that yesterday Mrs.
Sturtevant and her children rejoined
their longlost husband and father
The meeting was a joyous one all
around, and the reunited family de-
parted at once for their little home in

DELICATE OPERATION.
A Skull to be Lifted and the
 Brain Set Free.

Next week Dr's. Gordon and Calf will perform a very delicate opers.i1n on the head of Paul Noreiga wlo it will be rememb barred, for come time has been afflicted with a psrtial piralysi- of speech, occasionally taking Li,n un- swsres, some times in the mi1st oi conversation when he would be uuAble to talk or utter a word for hours and even days at s time, when the power of speech would return as suddenly as it had departed.
 The cause of this trouble resulted from fsll received ny riding a horse, and the doctors upon diagnosing his case have concluded that 'he inner tsbl. Of the skull had been broken by the concussion and that portion is impressed on the speech centers of the brain causing the temporary fits of paralysis O! the organ of speech.
 It is proposed to operate on the .kull and lift the inner table back to its natural position. To do this it may be even found necessary to ex- tract small piece or splinter of bone according to the nature Of the break and although a difficult and skiliul undertaking. when successfully per- formed will be great relief and cure of the serious impeachment to the young mans speech.
