THE Walls OF HIS WRATH
A Young Street Preacher Who OBJ
jected to Police Interference

my name is Cogswell. live on Wash
ington street. If you arrest me, the
curse of God will be upon you! Yes, the
curse of Christ is upon you already for
breaking up my meeting!" So shouted
young Cogswell, as his face paled with
anger and fear when police sergeant
and two officers in citizens clothes
threatened to arrest him for preaching
on the corner of Main and Second streets
shortly before 8 o'clock last night.
God and his mighty wrath will visit
itself upon you, deal out the justice
which you deserve, and condemn your
souls to everlasting punishment" he
shouted, as the officers became more in
sistent that he move his pulpit. The
street, to the minds of these officers, was
no place for young Cogswell to give vent
to his divine inspiration, and there was
little likelihood of his being able 10
bring any of his listeners out of the
wrong road, which he was telling them
they were travelling. Cogswell was in
clined to be stubborn, and at first re-
ized that the officers were about to make
good their threat, his pale face became
set with deeper pallor his eyes burned
fiercely, as he called upon the vista
tions of Almighty wrath to revenge his
interrupted meeting. He gave his name
and address to an officer in voice sup
pressed with anger, and when finally told
to go home, he left the crowd Which had
gathered, shouting: "Glory to God!
Hallelujah!"

LAW STUDENTS ASSOCIATION
Judge Cheney's Lecture on "study
and Practice of Law

The Law Students association of Los
Angeles, which formerly met in Judge
Morrison's court room, has secured and
fitted up permanent rooms in the Prid-
ham block, S17 South Main street, where
classes In law are conducted as here
tofore. The association has awakened
great interest among the lawyers and
law students Of the city, and the fact
that permanent place of meeting has
been secured points to the establishment
of law school in the near future
A meeting of the association yas held
last evening, at which Judge w. A.
Cheney delivered an interesting address
uron THE Study and Practice of the
Law" 1t is the intention to arrange for
lectures by other prominent members of
the bar once every month in the future.
Judge Cheney last night called atten-
ton to the fact that 1t is not enough to
know the law as II exists today, whether
as common or. statute law. but that in
order to justify the title of lawyer 1t
Is necessary to look behind the text to
discover and interpret the spirit. A fact
OF Itself Is of no great Importance, but
its history is, and to understand its cor
rect application one must know the cir
cumstances out of which 1t grew and
which It embodies. It is, therefore, nec-
essary to study the principles, the fund
amentals Of law. and their true import
can only be appreciated BY q etudy Of
the causes which 'engendered them

Blackstone Is valuable as a statement
OF the law as 1t existed in his day and
generation. To understand the COM
mon law in Its widest scope it is neces-
sary to trace it's gradual growth from
its rude beginnings in Saxon times down
to the day of the commentator. II we do,
we will see that II is not the result of
accident, but the direct result of cause
and effect, OF circumstance and condl-
tion. Common law is not an isolated
phenomenon. but It is only single,
though important, incident in the his
tory of general Jurisprudence, and 1t Is
largely in its inception and development
a product of the civil or Roman law. The
same influences were at work In both
cases, and the sages Of our law wisely
profited by the learning and experience
of their Roman predecessors In their eff
forts to give us system of law adapted
to the genius Of the people and applica-
BILE to their needs.
