fields abroad. The church of Christ Is
the strongest educator in the world. The
Baptist church should be in the lead. The
older people Of the church should assume
the responsibility Of giving the younger
every possible opportunity to obtain a
good education for the work they were
to do. Mr.. Evans recommended that the
board of trustees should be made to be
directly responsible to the state associa-
tion. The demands of the Baptist church
on its candidates are for a rigid confess
sion Of faith and the necessity Of defend
ing it's positions in argument.
Prayer was offered by Rev. w. W.
Tinker, and the meeting brought to q
CLOSE by Rev. A. w. Rider announcing
the program for today and extending an
urgent request that the Scriptural read

AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.
Seeks to Reform and Asks Protection
from Her Mac"

Myrtle Simpson, an Alameda street
damsel. was an arrival at the police
station yesterday morning at little
before o'clock, having been arrested by
police officer while engaged In a
knock-down and drag-out fight with
one Of her fran companions. All o'clock
in the morning she was released from
custody, bail of $50 having been put up
by her male friend"
It was with reluctance that Myrtle
left the Jail, as she professed to be
greatly in fear Of one Jack McAuliffe,
with whom she had been consorting, and
who had put up her bail. About noon
she came back again greatly excited,
and asked to be locked up once more,
saying that McAuliffe had threatened
her life, and she was afraid he would
carry out his threat. She was accommo-
dated, and at o'clock appeared in court.
Justice Morrison was acquainted with
her desire to reform and lead a better
life, also to be placed somewhere where
McAuliffe would not be able to reach
her. Acting on this line Myrtle pleaded
guilty to charge of disturbing the
peace and was given six months
straight. without the alternative of
fine.
She also swore to complaint charg-
ing McAuliffe with committing battery
upon her. and warrant was issued for
his arrest. Along about 4 o'clock note
was delivered at the station by a mes
senger boy for Myrtle, which had been
sent by McAuliffe. In it he called
her his darling, etc, and reproached her
for pleading in the manner she did,
when she could have gotten of with a
nominal fine. When the boy left the
station with reply to the message, he
was followed and led the way straight
to McAuliffe, who was promptly arrest
ed and landed in jail on the battery
charge.
The woman claims that he has not
only lived of her earnings Of shame but
has, like others of his class. beaten her
on various occasions because she did
not make enough to suit his expensive
tastes. She will remain in Jail for some
time, until her shattered health is some
what better, then go to one of the res
cue homes and endeavor to lead bet
ter life. McAuliffe will be prosecuted
on the battery charge, and If convicted
will probably get long sentence on the
chain gang as q warning to his class.

Second Days Session Devoted
to General Business
REV. DOUGLAS SERMON
Au Eloquent Discussion on the Undying
Love Of Christ
DOUGLAS SERMON
Woman Missionary Meeting Held In
the Afternoon-Electio Of Officers
Interesting Papers-Gen-
eral Notes

The Baptist anniversaries being held
at Memorial Baptist church continue to
draw large and enthusiastic audiences.
The church was filled yesterday, every
available seat being taken. The SER
vices began at a. m. with scriptural
reading by DR.. ]. A. Frost. taking his
subject from st. John. Rev. A. w.
Rider, pastor Of the church, acted as
moderator, and called the meeting to
order at 10 a. m. After hymn the fol-
lowing committees were appointed by
the chair:
Committee on nominations-D. X.
Edwards, w. c. Badeau and Peter
Stone.
Business committee-P. B. Chase.
Lee and Rev. C. w. Jones.
Enrolment committee-Rev. s. s.
Fisk. Lewis. Mrs. T. E. Morgan.
Next on the program were brief re-
marks byRev.sJ. 7. Wood and Rev. G.
W. Her. Rev. F. r. Bowles of South
Riverside read from the second chap
ter Of Corinthians w. H. Dodson, of
the Bethel Baptist church led in prayer.
In the absence Of the clerk his place
was filled by George Taylor Of the Ell
Monte church.
The annual sermon was given by
Rev. G. T. Douglas of Pasadena. He
took his text from Cor. 5-14-15. "For the
love OF Christ constraineth me; be-
cause we thus Judge for the one who
died for all, that they who live should
not henceforth live unto themselves,
but unto him which died for them and
rose again." The speaker put before
his listeners the condition of Paul at
the time of the building Of the church
at Corinth and the falling off later of
the demonstrations Of Paul against the
jeers Of the people. The intention Of his
letter was sent as a rebuke to those who
called him fanatic. Paul said: eff
I am beside myself 1t was for God; If
sober, 1t was for your good" The speak
er dwelt on the thought of how strong
was the love of God, and that it was
the love of God that constrained Paul.
Christ died for all, because all were
dead in sin. The soul of the unredeemed
can not sing Gods praises because the
soul and God are one in communion.
Prayer Is the intercourse, and the un-
saved soul Is like a person upon whom
sentence of guilty has been passed.
His last hope is in the thought of par
don from the Great Judge. Jesus proved
his love for men all through life, all of
Christ's acts were proof of his love for
mankind; the clear, positive evidence of
this was shown in his death on the
cross. The peculiarities of Jesus death
were that he gave himself as free Of
fertng on the cross; he gave himself
for the lowest as well as the highest.
and 1t q time in life that is most dearly
prtxed by men. There was no partial
ity shown by Christ, he died for all, he
has made enough provision for all, and

OFFICIALS INDICTED.

Grand Jury After Officers for Not En-
forcing the Laws-fieard Acquitted.
Hampstead. Texas, February 25.-Will
Heard was today acquitted in tho district
court, after a trial lasting nearly two
days OF the killing of Eugene Renfro.
Tho grand jury adjourned this evening.
but before doing so they fired a parting
shot. which landed right in the midst of
the official family. Nearly every county
official is indicted. most of them for
failure to perform official duties; one
official is indicted for carrying a gun.
The indictments are thought to be based
upon the failure of the officers to enforce
the Sunday law. These cases will be
tried in the county court, together with
those of the lawyers and land agents
who were indicted last week for failure
to pay occupation taxes.
The dentists. too were indicted today
for failure to pay occupation taxes and
the next term OF the county court will
be Interesting.
