At Simpson Tabernacle

The morning service yesterday at
simpson tabernacle was conducted by
Alexander Hardie, professor of history
and ethics in Southern California uni
versity. The speaker chose for his SUBJ
ject Rev., 1, 17-1S. He said, in part:
In this revelation of John the deity
OF the Lord Jesus Christ shines forth as
never before. John was in the spirit on
the Lords day. the first day of the
week. and here we have the authority
for the Christian Sabbath-the first day
of the week-when we assemble our
selves together for our worship. On
this Sabbath morning the glimpse that
John beheld of the resurrected Lord was
all that his physical nature could en-
dure-the Son Of Man crowned with glo-
ry and honor. His voice was voice
we should obey-a voice which cannot
be resisted by the most obdurate hu-
man soul.
Let us worship and listen to the voice
Of the ever-blessed Lord. How delight
full it is to witness, to stand, for Jesusl
We all want to take part in the CONVEX
sion Of the world to God. There are
some good people who imagine the world
is all going wrong and getting away
from God. There is to be no second
advent Of Christ to convert this world
to him, but by the word of his power
he will do it. He says, and it will be
done. This world for Jesus by the
preaching of his word. This is the doc
trine preached in this word. John was
overcome, but the Saviour put his hand
upon him and said, Fear not. for am
with you. I am the first and the last.
I am he that liveth and was dead, and
am alive forevermore. Fear not, 1 will
care for you." How wonderful the sym
pathy and love of the Lord Jesus in
these precious words.
II have the keys of hell and of death"
Here he declares his authority, and none
on earth or in heaven can change his
authority.
Let us yield our service to our ever
blessed Lord on earth and reign with him
forever more.
Before the service Miss Delphine TODD
sang an excellent solo. Light from
Heaven.

SNATCnED A POcKETBOOK
Clever Capture Of Hobo Who Robs Ladle
on the Streets

on INC SfTeetS
While walking along Broadway, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, Satur-
day evening about 9 o'clock, Mrs. N. c.
Powers of 422 West Seventh street had
her purse stolen. In company with her
daughter, Mrs. Powers was going home,
when they were approached by tall,
roughly dressed man, who, as he passed
them, snatched her pocketbook from her
hand and ran, making good his escape.
Despite the suddenness Of his assault
and celerity of his departure, both Mrs.
Powers and her daughter got a good
look at the fellow and were able to give
an accurate description of him. Last
evening about Z o'clock Detective Good
man picked up huge hobo on the street,
giving the name of John Redman, who
answered the description perfectly. Red
man was locked up and Mrs. Powers
sent for, both the ladies positively iden-
tifying the fellow as their assailant. He
denied it, but will be araigned in court
today on charge of robbery.

ONTO THE SIDEWALK
A Line Comes Loose and . Spirited Team
Starts to Run


Starts to Run
A serious runaway accident was mar
rowly averted yesterday afternoon about
4:SO in front of the police headquarters.
One of the Bright's special delivery wag-
ons was standing in front Of the Hol-
lenbeck cafe and another belonging to
the same firm was passing, being driven
in the direction Of Spring street. The
line on the Off horse became unfasten-
ed at the bit and the team swerved into
the sidewalk. The two wagons collided
and the horses became unmanageable.
officers from the station rushed over
and grasped the now frightened team
by the brides and prevented them from
dashing through one of the rear win
dows OF Coulter's store. AS luck would
have 1t, no damage was done, although
1t was narrow escape, as with only one
of the reins in service the driver was
utterly unable to control his team.

Cheosophical

shSVbVpusSos
The headquarters Of the Los Angeles
branch of the Theosophical society of
America. at Blavatsky hall, 525 West
Fifth street, were crowded last night
to listen to lecture by Abbott B. Clark
on Theosophy and the Theosophical
Crusade.
In substance Mr.. Clark said: To under
stand the mission Of the crusade one
must understand how the lodge of Ma
hatmas or spiritually developed men
work great enterprises for the aid Of
the world. The sacred mysteries of an
tiquity, the religions Of the world, such
as Christianity, Buddhism and other
have been but the enterprises of the
lodge. The present theosophical move
ment is but another effort on the part
of the Mahatmas to enlighten the world.
The society has had three periods of
its history. In the first Madame Bla-
vatsky cleared away the rubbish of
superstition, creed and materialism and
placed in our hands aGasket containing
gems of truth in science, religion and
philosophy, which will serve the world
as a store house of knowledge for CEN
turtles. Then Mr.. William @. Judge per-
fected harmoious and united organiza-
tion for the application of these truths
for the needs of humanity. The time hAs
now come for the populariZatiOn of
theosophy and this crusade is organized
to help bring the truths to the minds and
lives of millions. It's object is to belt
the world with the "cable tow" of truth.
1t will help to bring truth, light and
liberation to despairing millions of Eu-
rope and carry message of unity from
nation to nation, in an endeavOr to in
troduce the real Christian spirit among
the war-like nations of Europe, where
we have forgotten the brotherly spirit
of the gentle Theosophist Of Galilee.
The crusaders are now visiting the
large cities of England. On August I'd
and Sd they are to hold a mammoth con-
vention of the Theosophical societies in
Europe at Dublin, Ireland. The cru
sade will then visit'the principal cities,
capitals and countries of Europe, hiring
the largest halls, and holding conven-
tions and mass meetings everywhere.
The attention of the rich will be drawn
to the needs of the poor. They will
teach universal brotherhood as a scien-
tific fact, as a natural law, the violation
of which, like that of any other law, is
followed by suffering. Theosophy dem
onstrates the fact of the solidarity of
humanity--that each man, though
seeming separate, is in reality as inti-
mately connected with all other men
as are the myriads Of separate MOLE
cules making up the human body. The
poor and the fallen are our own broth
ers, and we can never escape from the
claims Of nature while we have money,
strength or intelligenceito save them.
The crusaders will also speak of Amer
lea as the land of hope and progress,
rand of the ancient civilization which
once fiourished here and is now being

My baby broke out with q rash. He would

CUKA, and began to use it. after only one

on him now, and is as fair and his flesh is as soft
as any baby. While he had this disease had to

 BENNETT.
He Falls From Skiff and DrO.gns in tl.e Muddy Waters of the

This morning shortly after 10 o'clock the Arkansas River, in the person of the 9-year-old son of MT. C. E. Bennett, claimed another victim.
 The lad was out skiff riding just above the Government boats which are tied up opposite the Cotton Belt shops, and when about twenty feet from the south bank in some man ner he fell from the skiff and before help could reach him he was drowned. The poor little boy was seen 10 rise to the surface three times before he sank to rise no more in life
 The alarm was at once given aud soon large crowd of men and women had gathered on the river. At noon when a GRAPHIC reporter repaired to the scene Of the aeei- dent strong swimmers were in the water diving for the body which is supposed to have lodged against the piling in the river at that place, and the river was being dragged, but up to the hour of going to press the body had not been recovered.
 The unfortunate boy was a son of MT. c. c. Bennett, an engineer em- ployed on the Shreveport branch of the Cotton Belt railroad, and today he is at Magnolia The mother, who lives near the shops, this city, is almost heart-broken over her terri ble loss, but devoted friends are do ing all they can to soothe and com fort her.

TIE newspapers are talking gen. orally about Roekefeller's statement that the Lord gave him his money. It is ludicrous to contemplate, and almost everyone is indulging in the smile that means so much. The man who makes the poor pay 20 cents per gallon for oil when it is not worth 10 cents, including a big profit, is not very far from robbery, and the Lord maketh not his face to shine upon such. Some time age the Standard Oil Trust entered into @ scheme with Russian capitalists by which they hoped to own the earth. The Chicago University took the ill-gotten gains of the oil-puffed magnate, and very properly, too. but when he attempts to buy off the Almighty, or make a business part. ner of Him, it's little more thar sensible people care to listen to.

THE LITTLE ROCK BASE BALL TEAM COULDN'T CUT THE
 MUSTARD.
They Played the Baby Act, Jumped on the Umpire and Quit the
 Game.

The Dickinson base ball team play ed beautiful ball Monday afternoon but they were mighty anxious tC quit in the tenth inning when the score stood 10 to 10. The umpire accommodated them and called the game a draw. Yesterday it was a fizzle. The prize crawfshes in the goyerement exhibit at Washington couldn't have accomplished double back action movement with more alacrity. Success is the sine qua non of the Dickinson team. They don t want to play unless they are sure of winning. They could not win from the Pine City boys and they said, tWe'n quitr The gentle response was, "Quit and be -l"
 This is how it happened. Every thing was lovely and the goose hung high, with her eggs for the visitors. The score was 10 to and the 10 was "ourn." That made all the differ enee in the world. A three bagger was knocked right over the head of the first baseman. The umpire call cd t fair ball and the ga ga me ended ended Of course the people were disgusted. It was playing the baby act in very discreditable manner.
 If the Dickenson men ever expect to play in our back yard again it would be well to remember that our cellar door has nails in it.
