UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH
A Discourse on Pioneer Methods in
Church Making

AT Caledonia hall Rev. A. A. Rice,
the pastor, spoke on Pioneer Methods
in Church Making" from the text, Seek
ye first His kingdom and His righteous
ness, and all these things shall be added
unto you"
Briefly. he said: The church is that
power created by the uriting of souls on
vital truth, in purpose, desire and act.
while the buildings which we call
churches are but the outward express
sion of that OF some other power or
force
A building may exist and be called
church which has not its root in, uni
son on vital truth, but no real church
can exist without some outward express
sion. There are two ways in which
church making is carried on, one the
boom" method, which is the process of
passing from an outward. worldly
prosperous church condition to the in
ward spiritual power or kingdom of God,
the other the pioneer method by which
''all these thirgs." The latter system is
the only true and certain way of secur-
ing genuine success.
1t is demanded by the financial depres-
sion of the times, by the nature of the
growth Of the true church or Gods
kingdom of righteousness, and by teach
ing of Jesus.
Outward prosperity should follow only
so fast as church is able to bear it. A
church is successful only as it begins at
the right end of the chain of human
progress

Bethlehem Institutional Church

Instead of the children's day exer-
cises, as intended, the children were ad-
dressed in Sunday school by Miss Grace
Wyckoff, who with her sister, Gertrude,
has lately returned from ten years of
missionary work in China. In the morn
ing service Miss Gertrude Wyckoff
talked very interestingly of the mission
life. Taking jump to Pang Chuan, the
mission station, the children were led
round the town, briefly through the mis-
sion work and boarding school, given a
glance into Chinese home life and landed
safely again in Los Angeles. A Christmas
carol, exceedingly we'll rendered in Chi
nese, caused one to marvel at the soft
beauty which can be brought out of
their melodies.
Twilight communion was held in the
afternoon, when seven were received into
the church. In the evening was held the
Sunday school concert, appropriate to
children's day. The children spoke ex-
ceptionally we'll and one little tot sang
a song with a clear-cut tone quality
that would do credit to a trained singer.
The music throughout the day was furn-
ished by the children's choir, feature
of church work Of which Bethlehem is
justly proud.

tabernacle showed a great increase,

| encyclopedias; and these remarks are
general and will apply to the instruction
in Sunday schools. The subject matte,
is then changed but not the principles
Of instruction.
'The end of teaching in Sunday
schools Is not gained when the scholar
is able to repeat deal Of biblical and
theological information. 1t is possible
to have much catechetical and biblical
knowledge with little moral character.
It is very possible-even quite common
to be possessed of thorough system
of orthodox theology, and be possessed
of the devil at the same time. The Sun
day school teacher must get it clearly
fixed in his mind that the whole aim of
Sunday school instruction is to trans
late truth into life. The Sunday school
is the place to quicken the moral sense;
to implant moral ideals; to stimulate
moral action.
THE aim of the Sunday school teacher
is not primarily to get scholars into the
church, to develop UNCONVENTIONAL and
dogmatic distinctions, but first and fore
most to get into their scholars the power
that makes for righteousness, to i'm
pei them to use their own powers Of
moral discrimination and ethical judg-
ment, and to put them actually in love
with goodness and justice and truth.
And above all these there must be held
clearly in mind the great ultimate end
of teaching-the creation of character.

Building Trades Council

This council on Friday evening last

organizing committee at the close of the
discussion.
A vote of thanks was rendered George

FIRST STEPS
H. M. Lapsley Speaks on Occultism at
Odd Fellows Hall

At the Theosophical headquarters in
Odd Fellows hall Mr.. James H. NJ.
Lapsley gave an interesting lecture to
a large audience yesterday morning.
The subject was First Steps in Occult
ISM" He said that a study of occult
ism, if continuously pursued by strong
mind and sure heart proved that powers
now thought to be supernatural may be
acquired and manipulated in the ordin-
ary experiences Of life. But it was a
serious mistake to suppose that such
powers are easily attained. The cheap,
so-called lessons in occultism," SO
common in large cities, must not be con-
fused with the real transcendental phi
losophy. The study of occultism from
mere curiosity, or to acquire powers foi
self-grat atification or personal power, will.

there is that within US that needs divine
grace to control and perfectly bring US

The Master tested the love and af-
fection which Peter had declared for
him: Lowest thou me more than
these? These others who are following
me? None Of these denied me as you
Gid. None of these declared they would
die for me. Is thy love now greater
than all these?" In his humility Peter
repMed: Lord, thou krowest all things;
thou knowest 1 love thee" Feed my
sheep, feed my lambs-all of the flock
If thou lowest me, follow me to martyr
dom. where others will lead thee"
Peter was anxious to know what
should be the fate of John, but Jesus
replied: What is that to thee, If will
that he tarry till come? No matter if
others fail or forsake me- What is that
to thee? Follow thou me-"

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
instruction of Children in the Sab
bath School

Yesterday was children's day in the
First Presbyterian church on Figueroa
street, and the Sabbath school pupils
snd teachers occupied the front rows
OF pews. The rest of the pews were also
filled upstairs and down. The edifice
was beautifully decorated with flowers,
a special program of music was rendered
by the children, the choir and an orches-
ira; responsive selections were read.
and in place of sermon the pastor, Rev.
Burt Estes Howard, made short ad-
dress, which he announced was pre-
pared and intended more for the teach
ers and parents than for the children
themselves. Mr.. Howard said:
The aim of all true instruction is the
education of the instructed. This prop
osition would be but a commonplace
platitude Were it not for the sad con.
fusion in many minds of education with
information Many wel-nformed man
is poorly educated, and vice-versa. In
formation puts a man in possession OF
a multitude of facts Education puts a
man in possession of himself 1t makes
him master of his own life. It releases
his faculties, and enables him both 10
think and to act for himself Informa-
ton gives knowledge. TAuca ton gives
wisdom, which is the practical applica-
tion of knowledge. Any man is we'll
Informed who is we'll read. No man is
educated until he has translated his in
formation into experience; his knowl-
edge into personal power. Information
has to do with facts. Education has
to do with the man himself II is. as
the etymology of the word implies the
leading forth of a mans own capacities.
1t is not question of college diplomas
and libraries 1t is a question of per
sonal evolution.
Nov, then, to return to the original
propositions: The aim of all true in
struction is to educate. At this poir.,
many teacher fails, having no purpose
beyond the mechanical hearing of the
recitatio The end of truth is being
No lesson is truly successful until the
principal involved is assimilated by the
life of the pupil. True instruction ends
not in information, but in incarnation
The successful teacher is the one whose
scholars are developing a power of in
dependent thought and moral personal
ity. The true end of teaching is to make
men and women, rather than walking

THE HOLY TRINITY
Father Clifford's Sermon at the
Cathedral

"Baptizing them in the name of the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
xviii, 10. The Christian world is con-
scously undergoing division into orth-
odoX and unorthodox, and the trinity is
made the crucial point which separates
orthodoxy from unorthodoXy. The only
great Christian denomination which
deservedly merits the title orthodox is
the Catholic church. She, in her daily
repetition of the apostles creed, and in
her weekly repetition of the Athanasian
creed, is forever bound to maintain the
doctrines of the trinity. The records of
revelation--the Holy Scriptures--justify
her teachings concerning the trinity.
Four times in the gospels is there an
explicit and distinct mention of the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Luke i.
gives us an account of the annun-
citation to the mother of God of her
becoming the mother of the Messiah.
Matthew iii, 1911, tells the history
of the baptism of Christ in the
Jordan. In Matthew xviii, 10, we
read of the commission given by
Jesus to the apostles to teach and bap-
tise. Baptism must be givenIin the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost. Why in the name of the
three, if there is no trinity of persons
in the Godhead? John xiv, 16, tells
of the manner in which Jesus Christ
comforted the apostles. The existence
of the Son and Holy Ghost is certain.
Are they God, or only attributes of God /?
If they are merely attributes of God,
such as is his omnipotence. omniscience,
inf1nity, etc, they are personified at
tributes. The figure of personific ton
is found in allegory, whether poetry or
prose. So far from the Son and Holy
Ghost being mere attributes of the God
head, we have enough of scriptural evil
dence to prove that they both are divine
persons distinct from the Father. From
John we know that the word is eternal;
that it possesses creative power; thar
1t was with God;' and that "it was
God" This same word became man,
and took upon itself human flesh.
The divine nature of the Holy Spirit
ie seen in the New Testament The
prophet Isaias says that he heard the
voice of the Lord (Jehovah) telling him
to go and speak to the people. St. Paul
mentions the same God who spoke
through Isaias and calls him the Holy
Spirit. Likewise does st. Peter speak of
the God whom David mentions as having
spoke to him. The doctrine of the trim
ity is mistery; doctrine which is in
comprehensive to the human mind 1t
must be expected that the human mind
does not nor cannot know all truth The
mind of God is infinite, and the mind of
man is finite. If truhts contained in
divine revelation are not capable of being
understood they must not be rejected
because it is the authority of God re-
vealing who is the motive power of faith
in all truths of revealed doctrines. II
we reject all truths in which the human
intellect does not see clear intrinsic evil
dence we are elevating it to the Level
of the divine mind
