COUNCIL FORECAST
Business to Come Before the City
Fathers Today

In the city council today the anti
hitching ordinance will probably be
made the subject of another fight if an
opening is offered those in favor of or
opposed to- the proposed measure. This
matter has already been before the board
of public works, but the me mbers of that
body have not avnounced what their
recomm endation to the council will be-
1t is believed that the report will be in
favor of the passage OF the ordinance,
but whether or not that kind of re-
port will be concurred in by the coun-
ell without amy opposition remains to be
seen. That the measure has a majority
in the coug1cil backing it is thought to
be certain.
The matter of awarding the contract
for street sprinkling an6 for lighting the
city will come up in the form of reports
from the board of public works and the
gas and hight committee respectively.
The lighting matter may cause some
as it has been hinted that new
bids may be advertised for. In regard to
the sprx1kling of streets 1t is considered
probable that the bid of A. P. Cross will
be accepted, He has the contract at
present.
The matter of street namirig may be
considered. In this is Included the
proposed change in the name Of Ala
MEGA street.
Protests against the acceptance of the
work dore on Beaudry avenue and
against the wi0;wing of Bellevue avenue
will be heard at the Afternoon session.

STORY OF A SHADOW
Rev. D. W. Bartlett's Sermon at Beth
lehem Institutional Church

The morning service in the Bethlehem
Institutional church yesterday was de-
voted to the children. Two were re-
ceived into the "children's church." and
the boys and girls choir furnished the
music. The pastor, Dana W. Bart
lett, preached an illustrated sermon. In
the evening the pastor gave the third of
his series of Sunday evening stories, en-
titled 1.-THE Wonderful Story of a Shad-
ow." Text, Acts v-15 The speaker
gave in story form the coming of
the rich and the poor the halt and the
manned to Peter, to be healed as they
came to the master. We may be SO
like Jesus that others will come to us as
they came to him. Two leading
thoughts: First, we must have pur-
pose in life; Peter had definite view in
healing these people. Second, Our in
voluntary influence may have healing
power; the sick placed themselves in
the path of Peter, that his shadow, fall
ing on them, might heal them. Notice
the Bible does not say that the shadow
did heal them, but that they thought
that it would For the sake of argu-
ment, grant that it did heal. Plan your
life yes, but be so Christlike that who
ever comes near you will be helped
thereby.

Paul, thou art mad; much learning
hath driven thee to madness" The an
swer was as prompt as it was courteous
and dignified: II am not mad, most
noble Festus; but speak forth the words
of truth and soberness."
And now, availing himself of the un-
seemly interruption, he turns his atten-
tion directly to the king. And he
startled him with the question: king
Agrippa. believest thou the prophets?"
This was a leading question. The king
dared not answer. And so. like, too,
many other convicted men, he wriggled
and evaded. and sneered. with but

Again the great preacher was ready
with his reply: Il would to God that

suasion that not only thou, but also all
who hear me this day, were not only al
most, but altogether, such as I am, ex-

The Bible and Liquor License-Dis-

The pastor, Rev. A. A. Rice, spoke
yesterday at Caledonia hall on "The
Bible and Liquor License" from the
text Psalms xciv, 20: Shall the throne
of iniquity have fellowship with thee,
which frameth mischief by law?"
In brief he said: 'In the full sense of

iquity? Where is it found? At the

wickedness the center from which ema-

SIMPSON TABERNACLE
Praise Service and Sermon on Sun
shine of Christianity

The Sunday evening service at Simp-
son Tabernacls was preceded by an ex-
cellent praise service, rendered. by Prof.
Colby, the organist, his chorus choir; a
quartet, consisting Of Miss Oliver, Miss
Clark, Messrs. Max Morkins and Hin
cock, and Miss Matilee Loeb, who con-
tributed a cornet solo.
The pastor, Rev. L. NJ. Hartley, spoke
briefly on the Sunshine Of Christian
ity," saying in part: I cannot conceive
what God wants his followers to wear
long faces for. He created man in his
own image. Then all the stars sung to-
gether for joy. God, has given us an in
stinctive desire for happiness and long
ing for immortality. David sang the
songs of joy. "Bless the Lord, OH my
SOUL who healeth all my diseases, who
crowneth me with loving kindness
Bless the Lord oh my soul"
If David, thousand years before the
coming of our Savior. could, in anticipa-
ton, be so joyful; and if Isiah, seven
centuries before, could look forward
with Joyful, prophetic vision to the COM
ing of Christ, how much more can we.
1000 years after the plan Of saliva
tion has been revealed, by our God, and
we have felt the power of his saving
grace.
We do well to have a praise service In
this beautiful temple.

A LEADING QUESTION
Paul's Appearance Before King Agrip-
pa and It's Consequences

In the Church of Christ, on Eighth
street, near Central avenue, the pastor,
David Walk, took his text from
Acts, but directed special attention
to the verse: "Ning Agrippa, be-
lievest thou the prophets?" This hero
of the cross was strangely fulfilling his
mission. In our lesson today he is
standing before a king, governor, the
sister of the king, and all the dignitaries
Of the Roman capital of Judea. Pomp
and splendor characterized the occasion
He had already been tried before an
other governor Felix. but in the hope
of bribe, he is remanded to prison for
two years. Felix, the ex-slave, is sue
ceeded by Festus.
The governor is perplexed about the
remarkable prisoner thus left at his dis
posal by his infamous predecessor. He
mentions his perplexity to the king. 'T
would also like to hear the man myself"
said the king. So the contemplated au-
dience with majesty is made the occa-
elon of magnificent display. Paul was
brought forth. The pale, worn, sick
prisoner, with a chain on his wrist the
other end of which was attached to a
soldier. appears.
But he is nothing daunted; he is in no
wise overawed by the splendid pageant
before him. The king tells him that he
is permitted, to speak for himself How
will he use his opportunity? Well, he
uses it by preaching the gospel of his
great and glorious master. His sermon
both mystif1es and overwhelms the pa
gan governor, who interrupts the

"The plans of the electric plant which
1t is proposed to construct at the San
Gabriel river falls have been submitted
to me-" said Mr.. Smith, land 1 have no
doubt that the project is practicable and
will soon be complete success
AT Folsom the electric plant trans
mits power to Sacramento, distance of
23.7 miles, with loss Of not more than
IL per cent through friction. 1t will be
entirely feasible to run the San Gabriel
plant at voltage of 1900 as against
the voltage Of 10000 at Folsom, and the
loss through friction. on account of the
high voltage and the dryness of your
climate, which is of considerable i'm
portance in electrical calculations, will
rot be much greater than at Folsom.
There is a height of 300 feet to be util-
100 feet.
California should feel proud of sew
eral things. You have, in the Folsom
plant. the first electric machinery to
transmit power any considerable dis
tance. Folsom also has the first sawmill
of any importance in the world to run
by electricity. 1t is working with entire
satisfaction.

Mr. Smith set up the first electric
plants in Siberia, Japan and,Alaska. and
only recently put in big plant at the
falls in the river Jordan, just west of
Salt Lake City. He admits some busi-
ress designs on the peace of mind and
dignity of his august highness, the sui
tan of Turkey OF this he said:
Il have tried several years to secure
permission from the sultan to put up
an electric plant at Jerusalem, with the

built by King Solomon. If I can over

plant at Rome which constructed, and
which makes use of the aqueducts built
by Caesar? What we mechanical en-
gineers would like to know is the ingre-
dent which Solomon and Caesar put in
their cement and which has caused their
aqueducts to remain so nearly intact for
all these years.
IA friend of mine, Joseph Maloof, who
is subject Of the sultan and got his ed
