THY WILL BE DONE
Dean Phillips Sermon Yesterday at
Simpson Tabernacle

The pulpit at Simpson tabernacle was
filed yesterday morning by Dean Phillips
of the University of Southern California
who chose for his text the words from
the Lords Prayer, Thy will he done.
He said in part
Man is & creature of law and is sub
iect to law-natural, moral and spiritual.
Men first reasoned out the theories and
systems of law, and then there came 10
them the revelation of law.
1t has been only in recent years that
men have discovered the great forces OF
power that have for all the past centuries
remained dormant and unknown. God has
given us the power to overcome our woes
If we will put ourselves in position to dc
so. and study His divine will.
We cannot overcome our preiudiCes and
reach out to all that need our aid, Yet it
is necessary fos us to rise above this to
fulfill our duty 10 man and God. When
We are placed in position where We fee,
we are unable 10 bring to pass what We
feel is right. and our trust and faith is
in God. He will bring it to pass. Our
Father brings us into common relationship
with Him as His children.
The name of our Father is hallowed by
every ore who turns To Him; and there Is
nothing in the Lords Prayer that cannot
he realized by every Christian. The king
dom OF heaven Will come 10 Us Just n
we. in our actions and faith. help - bri2E
il about. We must stop SHINING; our lives
must be clean. We cannot cheat our fel-
low-men and have the kingdom Of God ir
our hearts.

SALVATION ARMY
Monster Meetings This Week-Gen-
eral Booth Will Speak

General William Booth. Father arc
! leader OF the worldwide salvation Army,
will reach here Friday morning. and vii
speak at Simpson tabernacle that after
noon and at Hazards pavilion the same
evening.
General Booth will be accompanied by
Commander Booth-Tucller. in command of
the United States forces. who is already
well known here; Commissioner Nicol. ed
itor in chief Of all salvation Army publi-
cations in Great Britain. Lieutenant col
onel W. Evans, commander of the Pacific
coast division; Consul Emma Booth
Tucker, second oldest daughter OF the
general and wife of Commander Booth
Tucker.
Colonel Lawley. a magnetic singer. and
Brigadier Alice Lewis. the converted ltal-
ian opera singer ana pianist, will also be
here and add materially to the musical
part of the meetings.
The valuable work and widespread good
of the salvation Army here is too well
known to need repetition. Within three
months the army has extended its field in
three directions. all of which are progress
ing as fast as hard work and earnest inter
est can push them.
Property on the East Side which will be
used a S a rescue home, under charge of tho
officers that attend to the rescue work in
the army. has already been acquired and
the first payment made. Money Is being
raised as rapidly as possible to clear of
the debt, and the home will be put in opera
tion very shortly.
The Flower Festival home. which was
leased to the army about six weeks ago,
is in a very satisfactory condition; twenty
five young women are living there and
find it most homelike and respectable
boarding house.
Down on Upper Main street is the Work
ineman's Metropole. under the charge OF
Ensign G. W. Bourne. Although it is only
two months old it shelters and feeds over
two hundred some days, on others perhaps
there will not be more than one hundred
and fifty or seventy-tive.
Meals are given in this hOstcry for five
cents apiece. beds are furnished Tor five
cents more. and although the Mclropole is
on pretty good paving basis considerable
money has been spent in plumbing and
other improvements. and pretty soon more
blankets will he needed for some that are
now loaned. Therefore any assistance in
the way of blankets. other bedding or, in
deed. any articles that people can and Will
spare will be put to the best Use by the
good men and women whose life work is
that of helping unfortunates to help them
selves in so many ways.

THUS the text tells us the character
and extent OF salvation. The consciousness
or knowledge of the right does away with
that conception which relegatos salvation
to the future life, and TO some other cline
than the earthly; and which widens the
diherence between the upper and lower
classes of humanity. perpetuatinS caste
and discord. Righteousness supplements
the idea that salvation is belief on the
Lord Jesus Christ to the exclusion OF good
works, by averrng that such belief is but
the beginning of life and character
Our knowledge of the right declares that
Righteousness is salvation both here and
now. The principle of right in man mas
kept theologians of the past two or three
hundred years at the task of eXonerating
Gods justice in dealing with his children.
Today II is believed that the majority OF
mankind will he saved. and that the minor
ity. and not God, are responsible for their
lost condition, which is a partial Ninoica-
tion only. righteousness also scouts the
idea of 1ixity OF character. proclaiming hell
torments or regret to he the result of trans
crossing the knowledge of what is right.
and declaring free will to choose. uniNer-
sal salvation is the great proclamation OF
Righteousness.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Not in Word, But in Power, Subject of
q Sermon by Rev. Howard

The Rev. Burt Estes Howard preached
yesterday morning in the First Presoyte-
rian church from Cor. l. iV:e0 For the
kingdom of God is not in word. but in
power" Mr.. Howard said in part: Moth
ing works longer hours and for shorter pay
than the tongue. 1t is a trite saying but
a true one that talk is cheap. There is
an economic reason for it. Talk is cheap
because there is an oVerproduction OF
cheap talk.
speeches and preaching get their power
from the spirit of the man behind them:
the force is not in defamation. hut in in
spiration. The result of oNermuch speech
is an exaltation of opinions and ideas. 1t
is a shifting of the stress from principles
TO mere forms: from life TO be lived to the
dogmas TO be believed.
THE kingdom of God is not a scheme
not a legislation. but an inspiration. The
mistake in much of the reform movements
is that it begins at the wrong end. For,
unless you inspire men with the power of
moral purpose unless you plant at the heart
of our social life. integrity. TRUTH the love
of justice and the uplifting of righteous
ideal, you have not secured the kingdom of
God
Society is not an institution, it is an or
ganism. 1t is not thing that is built from
without: it grows from within. The
way to increase an institution is 10 add
to ii from the outside; the way to develop
an organism is to enlarge its life. Society
needs inspiration more than legislation.
Not that legislation is not efficient. 1t is
efficient, but it is not sufficient.
"Our social problem is vital rather than
legislative. We do not need better laws
so much as we need better men; given
them, life will manifest itself by its own in
herent laws. Give US honest, just. Christly
men and the problems of society will settle
themselves
III the world is to be redeemed into a
righteous kingdom. and I believe it IS. it
will not be redeemed by political economies
or social theories or religious creeds and
confessions, but by living men who are the
agents of a living spirit that makes for
righteousness. 1t is the pentccosting of
our daily life that We want.
THE world is full enough of opinions and
crammed with notions and conceptions and
theories of God, but no great living spirit
of God is inspiring its business ana its
politics. There is energy enough expended
in the wagging of tongues well nigh to run
the worlds machinery if it could he util-
lied, but what we need is fewer words and
more divine impulse.
I'VE have played at Christianity long
enough; it is fire we need-the burning,
glowing inspiration of the spirit of truth
and love and righteousness. Let us be
better men and We shall have a better
world"

FROM ALCOHOLIC PARALYSIS
THE MISERABLY BESTIAL DEATH
OF A DRUNKARD
Pablo Pareda, a Ranch Hand, Dies
a Death That Would Dis
grace Dog

PASADENA, Feb. 20.-(Office Of The
Herald, SIS East Colorado street) Pablo
Pareda, a Mexican laborer who lives on the
Allen ranch, a few miles northeast of this
city, came TO his death last night in an eX-
traordinary manner. Pareda lived in an
adobe cottage used for the lodging OF the
ranch hands and kept by Mexican named
Coronado. The house is next door to the
one in which Mrs. Juan Orasco. the bride
of seventeen days, was found dead few
weeks ago and with whose death her nus
band was charged. though the charge dld
not hold. Last night Pareda ana tnree
or four companions got two gallons OF
wine and became 'beastly drunk. They
turned into their hunks and lay in "a stupor.
These hunks are lowly in the extreme.
The one upon which the dead man lay was
composed of two saw-horses, across when
three ordinary pine boards had been laid.
Upon this Pareda lay rolled up IN MS
blanket, having his coat for pillow. pur-
ing the night one of Pareda's companions
attempted to awake him and found his
body cold and stiff This did not seem to
impress the drunken Mexican much, as
no word was received of the case until
s o'clock this morning. when Coronado tel
ephoned from Lamauda Park. The dead
man was found lying on his back m
horrible condition His face was black
and bore every sign of death by stranSula-
ton. The coroner decided that death was
caused by Pareda's own vomit which had
entered his lungs and smothcred him while
alcoholic paralysis prevented his turning
over and vomiting naturally. Pareda was
an ablebodied man and had lived in this
county twelve years, coming here from
Mexico. He was unmarried.
