EAST SIDE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. George E. Dye on Christ the SUI
preme Attraction.

preme Attraction.
At the East Los Angeles Baptist
church last evening the pastor Rev.
George T.. Dye. preached on Christ the
Supreme Attraction, taking as his text
John xiii, 80: "And I, if 1 be lifted up
from the earth, will draw all men unto
me-"
Christ had studied all of the supreme
questions of his day, said the speaker,
and he considered himself as superior
to everything else. Was this assumption?
No, because he was no ordinary mortal.
There was a majesty in his bearing,
something superhuman in his origin and
mission, and something so beneficent
in his deeds that men stood transformed
before him. He spake as never man
spoke. We have watched for the words
of Mckinley and Bryan with eagerness.
but now let us turn to the words of him
who created the world, who hung out
the great orbs in space, who came from
the bosom of the heavenly Father. Let
us hang on his words and treasure his
thoughts. His language is, in good part,
the Interpretation of the divine decla-
ration that "all power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth" 1t is the great
word of one who is supreme, of one who
has all forces at his command, of one
who includes the destiny of all souls in
his purpose. Christ is the absolutely
perfect one. He has all the sublime
PROJECTIONS He stands before the world
without a flaw All other men have had
defects but he none. All other men have
sinned, but he never. So splendid and
masterful is the spectacle of his match
less character that it has overwhelmed
the critics, and he who came to ridicule
remained to worship and adore. The
spears of mems hostility are broken at
his feet; the crowns of the highest men
are scattered at his feet. He who bur
fets Christ pierces himself and dishonors
his being. He alone can say: IF I, even
I. be lifted up. will draw all men unto
me-"
Jesus Christ is the supreme attraction
of the ages. From the beginning he
started great tides of thought, of stir
ring inquiry, of revolution. of progress
and civilization, until today Christian
ity is unquestionably the nohlest stirring
force that takes the attention of man.
kind. Politics is only one spoke in the
wheel; art is another. and science an
other The best sentiment of all history
is in the declaration: IF I, even l. be
lifted up, ! will draw all men unto me-"
The magnetic suction of this nineteenth
century is all toward Christ. Take all
the revolutions of time, all the whirl and
overturning of history all the excite
ment of politics, all the unfoldings of
science. all the beauty of art. all the
greatness of literature, and the inter-
probation of it all is: IF I. even I, be
lifted up, I will draw all men unto me-"

less, takes away her motive to avoid vice
and practice virtue. But the whole body
Of the doctrine taught by the Catholic
church hangs together with the most
perfect symmetry, like the stones In the
arch of bridge, every part supporting
and supported by each other, that the
smallest flaw or contradiction cannot be
found in tan evident sign Of truth.
She is holy in her means, she is holy
in her sacrament, for they have been in
stituted by the God of all holiness and
are administered in the name of the
three persons of the Holy Trinity. These
seven sacraments are SO many channels
through which the graces that flow from
the wounds of our Redeemer are con-
veyed to the souls of Catholics of every
class, in every condition of life, from the
time they enter into this world until they
surrender their souls into the hands Of
God. Moreover, she daily celebrates the
sacrifice of the mass by which she con-
tinually applies to us the merit of Christ
and implores for us all grace.
The church is holy in its members She
is holy in the number of her children who
have been eminent for holiness in all
ages. She alone of all the churches can
lay claim to the multitude of every class,
from the king to the beggar, from the
pope to the deacon, whose great virtues
have been the admiration of all who
knew them, and have been frequently
dStSoSC0 ny 0Ou ny IIllId-
Giles wrought through these means and
at their intercession.
1t should not be deemed a matter of
surprise that the church, although num-
bering among her children many sin
ners. is called holy, for those who pro-
fess any art. although they should de-
part from its rules, are still called art
lists. So the faithful, although offending
in many things and violating those en-
gagements to the observance of which
they have pledged themselves, are call
ed holy because they are made the peo-
pie of God and are consecrated to Christ
by faith and baptism.
The other religious denominations,
separate from the Catholic church, are
destitute of the signs Of sanctity. They
have not holy founder, nor holy doc
trine; neither have they the necessary
means of salvation; nor have they holy
members. From this it follows that none
OF them Is the true church, because this,
as we have seen, must be holy The Cath
Ollie church alone possesses this mark;
therefore 1t is the true church of Christ.
Thank God then that you belong to a
church which is holy. Aspire to be holy
yourself; avoid evil; do good; aim at
greater perfection every day. Look to
the glory of the saints that adorn the
catholic church and initiate their ex-
amples. This is your vocation, your
sanctification; therefore never lose sight
of it,

hear his voice: If !, even I, be lifted up,
/ will draw all men unto me-"
In the history Of the world, as we go
backward, We find that as society has
left Christ, as politics has been without
him, as the church has deserted him,
chaos, degeneracy and corruption have
followed. Christian followers have
proved 1.-The salt" and tine light" OF the
earth. Sad waste has covered the
patches of history where his gracious
spirit has not pervaded the hearts OF
men. Thorns and briers have torn the
hearts. bloodshed and riot have stained
the state, and wars have devastated
the church where his spirit has not been
experienced and felt by mankind. Even
today some some shout for the release
of Barrabas, the robber, but the great
choral shout of the mass Of humanity is
for the lifting up of Christ.
Jesus Christ is today the magnet OF the
great human race. He IS SO identified
with human nature that all hearts thrill
at his touch and revive at the sound of
his voice. The story OF his cross mas
never lost its charm. Familiarity with
his life only makes it the sweeter. His
beneficent deeds recited send men out
anew on errands of love. No standard
has ever endured as the standard Of
the cross. Alexanders and Napoleon's
standards were before the people for
time, but they went down, while the
cross still stands crowned with the self
sacrifice of Christian followers. The
cross adapts itself to mans every need.
1t challenges human faith and thought.
1t is the key to love and the door 20
heaven. Calvary was loves battle
ground, and its grandest triumph was
death. 1t was love that surrendered his
life on the cross. Love calls his follow
ers to a self-denying life today. Every
sacrifice we make for humanity is only
another thread to the invisible cable
that lifts Christ where he may be seen
Of men. Like him. let us go about doing

present state Is to be followed by an
eternal one, adapted unto our moral com
dition. To the instinct of the soul the
aspirations of the mind, the faith OF our
spirit, there is another Kingdom soon to
be entered upon. A kingdom where
Christ shall reign forever. where sin shall
never enter, where His thoughts and
purposes and plans shall forever obtain.
Fair land, could mortal eyes
But half thy charms explain,
How would our spirits long to rise
And dwell on earth no more.
And to enter there and have not only
a bare passage but an abuh -nnt en-
trance is the theme involved in this pre-
sentation, In 1st Peter, All chapter and
18th verse, he speaks of the righteous
being scarcely saved, but here OF an
abundant salvation, salvation with a
margin.
Did you ever stand upon the shore or
on the deck of ship and see fleet of
vessels running for port in a storm?
The wind draws sharp down the beach
from the mouth of the harbor. Here is
a coaster close in with the land but far
below the harbor trying to beat up
against the wind and sea but making
POOR weather of it as he plunges jib-
boom under in his vain effort to keep
from running back. But he is too far to
leeward to make his port. There is an
old brig from off shore, her topgallant
masts both gone. making much leeway,
but she will just weather the cape by
a narrow margin and be scarcely saved
and yet saved. There are others that
make the land too far to leeward; they
cannot beat up and if the storm holds
they will go ashore and be lost before
morning. But see that trim, clipper
built ship. She has sailed thousands OF
miles for this port and she is going to
make it. The wise navigator in charge
has held the weather gauge and has
made his landfall far to the windward of
his port and though showing no canvas
above his topsail yards, yet with a free
wind and started braces he sweeps in
with an abundant entrance. All, he nav
igated for that weeks before he made
the land and worked his ship to the
windward. l say, Christians, have you
the weather gauge of the heavenly port?
Now is your time to prepare for happy
landfall. Hold your ship aweather that
when the cry of Land Ho! shall be heard
from your lookout, the reply to where
away may be point forward of the lea
beam. All! then you may ease your
braces and sweep in with fair wind.
Hold yourself sharp and full and by now
steering with a small helm that when
the supreme crisis of two worlds and
two lives is upon you, you may nave
administered unto you abundantly into
the everlasting kingdom of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.
Rev. DR.. Wilson breaches on An Album
dant Entrance.

At the First Methodist Episcopal
church on Broadway, the pastor, Rev.
DR.. John A. B. Wilson, preached on An
Abundant Entrance, from Peter i:1O-11.
Wherefore, brethren, give the more
diligence to make your calling and cleo
ton sure; for If We do these things We
shall never stumble, for this shall be
richly applied unto you the entrance into
the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ"
1 have heard much speculation about
motives. said the speaker, speculations
so transcendental as to be entirely I'M
Influenced, either by considerations of
reward or of punishment. l say 1 have
heard of such condition, but have
never seen 1t. Nor do the scriptures af-
ford much encouragement for eXpecta-
ton so false to our natures. The text
indicates most rapturously a blessed
estate called 1.-The everlasting kingdom"
and indicates that it can only be attain
ed by certified call and election. And
to incite to such certification the Apostle
Peter appeals to the secondary motives,
the passions of both hope and fear, For
II We do these things We shall never
stumble, for so this shall be ministered
unto you abundantly into the everlast
ing kingdom of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ"
The text teaches that: First-There
is an everlasting kingdom to be entered
by grace.
Second-That calling and election
gives a standing in grace.
Third-That the maintenance of this
calling and election depends upon dill
gence, Wherefore do rather give all
diligence to make your calling and cleo
ton sure
And the diligence is to be exercised
upon adding to, or rather developing out
of the faith possessed, virtue, and out
Of virtue knowledge, and from knowl-
edge temperance and from temperance
patience and from patience goodness
and from godliness brotherly kindness,
and from brotherly kindness love. 1t
does not mean the bringing of extran-
eous things, but the development of
these subjective graces by the cultiva-
ton Of that faith which is the result of
one calling and the insurmountable
cause of our election of God. Out of the
bosom of our faith in God and trust in
the atoning merits of His Son, Jesus
Christ proceeds the development of
these graces.
And they improved and developed,
constitute the perfected character
which confirms and makes certain our
election.
Hear further that: Fourth-Due
diligence will assure an abundant en-
trance to the everlasting kingdom Of
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

SHANE rs RELEASED
Says the RightfuI Thief Who Robbed Thomas
Gibson ttas Been Captured

Last Sunday young lad named Ross
Shane was arrested on a charge of petty
larceny he being suspected of taking
certain gold and silver coins from the
pockets of Thomas Gibson's clothing
while the latter was bathing in one OF
the rooms of the Los Angeles Athlete,
Club. Shane was placed in the city
Jail, Notwithstanding his protests and
assertions that he had received the
money from his mother who resides in
Mexico. The amount he had in his
pocket when captured nearly cores
ponded with what had been taken from
Gibson. viz, about S23.
Yesterday Shane was released from
custody and last night called at The
Herald Office to say that the detectives
had captured another party who is sup
posed to be the thief, and had released
him. He is anxious that the mistake
made in his arrest be corrected and says
he can produce the Wells Fargo order
in which he received the money sent
him by his mother. The whole matter
is characterized as terrible mistake
which he wishes refuted that his good
name may not be impaired.
