IMMANUEL CHURCH
Rev. Mr.. Chichester's Sermon at the
Morning Service

Yesterday morning at Emmanuel
church eight infants were baptized ac-
cording to the simple and impressive
Presbyterian ritual.
DR.. Chichester preached upon Christ's
interview with the outcast woman at
Jacobs well. Somebody asked Lyman
Beecher when he was on his deathbed
what he considered the great, para
mount concern in the Christian life, and
he answered: mot theology, not contro-
versy, but soul saving"
This introduced the subject of the dis
course, Some Indispensable requisites
for successful soul winning. First, there
must be some appreciation of the soui's
value. The average Israelite in Christ's
day would have pronounced this Sa-
maritan woman's soul as utterly worth
less. Indeed, as the Jews denied the
Samaritans Sny part in the resurrection,
1t Is question whether or rot they
would have acknowledged that she had
any soul. But Christ felt differently and
valued the poor outcaSt soul at its
true worth, and put forth earnest effort
for its recovery. There are two mis-
taken estimates of the soul by which it's
value Is deprecated. On the other hand,
the materalist tells us that all our talk
about the soul is mere meaningless
-
we are sure of is the body. And then on
the other hand. we may detract from the
souls value by an unwise statement of
its moral depravity. The Bible clearly
teaches the fact of mans sinfulness and
yet there is a way of vilifying the soul,
depreciating all it's qualities down to so
low a level that its greatness and dig
nifty entirely vanish away, until prac-
tically there is nothing left of it. There
fore while in no way seeking to lessen
the souls guilt, we must never lose
sight of the fact that it still possesses
value-priceless, unspeakable value
Successful soul winning also necessi-
tates self-sacrificing. effort. The Win
ming of anything in these days means
hard work. The winning of influence,
of position of fame, of money. AS the
Master sat upon that we'll curb you see
WEAKNESS in his limbs, heaviness in his
eyes and great beads of perspira ton on
his brow, and yet, exhausted as he was,
he willingly gave what strength he had
to the rescue OF this soul.
Another qualification for this work is
unaffected naturalness. In Christ's in
terview with this woman Christ was
simply a man-with nothing whatever
about him that was in the least stilted or
mechanical. And If we would be sue
cessful as he was We also must be ma
tural. Instead of trying to be somebody
else we must be our own true selves.
And instead of assuming for the occa-
sion looks and words and tones that we
never use at any other time we must al
ways approach people in frank, natur-
al way.
Then there was also great tact in
Christs dealing with this woman. He
does not wait. for her to make the first
advances, nor does he rebuke her for
her sin, nor begin right away to abruptly
force religion upon her. On the contrary
he opens communication with her by
asking q simple favor introducing a
subject that was apparently Indifferent
and yet which at that moment was ma
turally uppermost In the woman's

GREAT REGISTER STUFFED
Over One Hundred False Names
in One Ward
County Clerk NewIin Relieves the Vigil.
ant Deputies
AS Soon as the Frauds are Reported to
Him by Them He Informs Them
That They are Discharged.

There have been rumors before now
that the great register of this county
has been stuffed.
The Herald now has absolute proof
that this statement is true, and it is
time for all minded citizens to rise
up and see to it that this matter is at
tended to before it is too late.
The information The Herald has
places County Clerk Newlin in q very
peculiar position.
Some time ago the board Of supervi-
sors directed the county clerk to appoint
two men to examine the great register.
Mr.. Newlin named George L. Gard and
Dan Carr.
These men went to work. and in two
weeks they found 1856 false registrations
in one ward-and it was not the Eighth.
In one day they found thirty-siX lille
gal registrations in the Twentieth and
Twenty-fourth precincts of the Third
ward.
They were making good progress in
the matter of looking up these false
names with which the great register
has been stuffed--in fact, they were
finding too much crookedness.
On Friday last Mr. Newlin removed
both Gard and Carr without making any
explanation.
Now the proposition is just here. The
register has been stuffed. Whoever did
it is guilty of a felony, and is liable to
Imprisonment in the penitentiary. Mr.
Newlin's deputies took the registration.
why does that gentleman wish to cover
up any fraud that has been perpe-
trated?
This is a matter which requires ar
explanation from Mr.. Newlin at once.
The Democratic county committee
should take the matter up at once.

modern Spiritualism takes precedence
because 1t claims sense demonstration of
that doctrine of future life which
broadens and deepens our present con-
dition, we reply that our doctrine Of God
forces us by the higher method of reason
to believe in that doctrine, and that the
revelation of truth from Jesus is as po-
tent factor for growth as anything Of
modern days.
BY original possession the world alb
sorbing doctrine of the brotherhood of
man in its entirety is ours, for universal
fatherhood means universal brother
hood.
Our distinguishing doctrine of uni
versal salvation Of itself necessitates
most strenuous labors in behalf of the
laggards of mankind since the more per-
feet one becomes the more he must la
bor for the perfection of others.
Judged by its beneficial effects, Uni
versalism contains as much truth and as
little error as any sytem taught today.

thoughts. Another important step in
this work is the awakening of con-
science. The difficulty with this woman
was her lack of spiritual perception.
Trifling, saucy. clever, she seemed in
clined to make light Of everything and
did all she could to divert the conversa-
tion to the side track of theological con-
troversy. But Christ said to her: go
call thy husband" And this simple re-
quest was like a spark falling into
powder neutrality-suspicious. her
entire nature and arousing her con-
science into intensest activity. And with
conscience thus doing it's work we come
to the last step in successful soul saving
the awakening of faith. Conscious of
awful need-tortured by depressing fear
and driven from every refuge that she
had sought, she finally gives up the
unequal contest and surrenders-her
tempest-tossed spirit breaking forth
with the piteous wall: Il know that Mes
siah cometh." And just then came the
long looked for revelation and at once
she found deliverance and peace-as
Jesus said to her: Il that speak unto
thee am he"

UNIvERSALIST CHURCH
Beyond Universalism, What?" the
Subject Of Mr. Rice's Sermon.

Rev. Mr.. Rice of the Universalist
church spoke on Beyond Universalism.
What?" from the text Prove the Spir-
its. John, iv:1.
The occasional remark by some who
visit our church, 1--WE have gone beyond
Universalism," leads us to inquire as to
the truth of the statement. Whether or
not other religious systems are beyond
inIthe sense of being better than Univer-
saliSm we submit the fact that there are
some things so true and so vital in their
relations that men cannot get beyond
them. Progress is measured not by
what man leaves behind him but by
the amount of truth he grasps and holds.
If asked how one can Judge religious
belief we answer the final test as to its
truth is its effect on the development of
it's believers, for,it is' am axiom, that pro-
gress lies in truth not in error. Univer-
salists believe their system to be based
on vital truth, it's fundamental doctrue
being the universal fatherhood of God"
and they hold that this doctrine with it's
logical outcome of ideas is most effica-
cious in bringing man to perfection.
If that scheme, the idea of some who
deem themselves in advance, the limit
ed fatherhood of God is upbulding in it's
effects, and surely as the chief eXtrac-
ton of the word fatherhood, love would
befengendered among the elect children,
how much more and far-reaching would
the universal fatherhood be in it's effects.
And if in another advanced scheme
which makes no use, of the. word univer-
sal and also discards the fatherhood, the
doctrine of force or law, holds its SUBJ
jects from retrogression as the re-
straining power of retributive law GER
tainly does, how much more would the
consciousness of infinite love induce
them to rise, If atheism can see God in
one of the many DEGREES of Gods love,
what more might it not see in that love
itself?

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
Rev. Mr.. Wilson Talks on the Need Of
Municipal Reform

At the First Methodist church last
evening the pastor, Rev. John A. B. Will
son, gave prelude before his sermon
on The Need Of Municipal Reform. Los
Angeles, Mr.. Wilson said, was the most
moral city that he had ever seen, but
still there were abuses that should be
corrected. Reform was needed in the
methods of the police department. and
there were certain evils that should be
corrected. These matters have been
before the Ministerial union, and steps
will be taken at the proper time.
