the strand. The truth is far larger than
the thoughts that utter themselves in any
age.
Jesus sought to make God known to
man that men might give themselves to
him with a mighty faith and passionate
devotion. 1t was not the integrity of a
system or the logic of view that he
aimed to set up. He strove to get God en-
throned in human life as the father of love.
We can all learn a deep lesson from the
Masters method and forgetting our quar-
rels and differences of the letter, strive for
the great positive truths that underlie re-
ligion. The world needs Jesus sublime

MIR. HUNTINGTON AMIABLE
he Is Willing to Tell the State Rail

c. P. Huntington Is becoming amiable.

way commission that he appear before
them ard give them some informant on
about the Southern Pacific rates with &
sample of his bes, jollyiug style. He ,e-
piled that he would be most happy to tell
them all they wished to know, but he asks
the privilege OF appearing before the 11th
Of May, the date set, as he has important
business which may take him east before
that time. He voun teered the remark tha.
he will be most happy to give them all the
information he is possessed Of. but as he
has habit when before inquiries of this
kind Of forgetting or Of finding that only
some subordinate can answer the ques-
tons, It Is not probable that the queryng
will result in much One thing is certain,
that he will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to make an argument showing that
the presen, rates are too low, and that
they should be at once raised.

FOURTH CONGREGATIONAL
Rev. B. E. Howard breaches His First
Sermon to the New Church

The Fourth Congregational church, Rev.
Burt Estes Howard, pastor, held its initial
service under the new name and organiza-
ton in the Los Angeles theater yesterday
morning. The preachers text was from
Matthew Wills: Think not that come to
destroy the law or the prophets; I came
not to destroy but 10 fulfill. For verify 1
say unto you, till heaven and earth pass
away one jot or one little shall in no wise
pass away from the law till all things be,
accomplished"
THAT by the law and the prophets Jesus
did not mean the written code that made
up their scriptures, or the recorded utte.-
ances of their prophets is evident from the
bold way in which he treated these writ
ings. To him the law and the prophets
were something far larger than any scrip
ture. The revelation of divine truth must
not be confounded with the human record
of it. To the thought of Jesus the world
was full of God. The spiri: of God had not
shut itself into a book. History is CULVER

Per Cent
The first day of the coming month will
find you paying 20 per cent more for your
milk than you have been paying hereto
fore. And all this because of the increased
price Of animal feed. Barley hay is unob-
tainable and alfalfa costs from $14 to SIS
a ton now. and the prospects are that the
price will be raised before long. Last year
at this time hay cost ranchers but $3.50
ton. and now they are glad to buy 1t for
$12 The lack of rain has brought this con-
dition Of affairs about.

Hay Is so scarce how that dairymen an

they defend themselves. There was moth

Secretary Hamilton of the association
says that 20 per cent of the men in the
dairy business on the first of the year
have sold their property at auction or dis
posed of 1t to other dealers, not being able
to continue with profit under the existing
lack of fodder and the high prices attend

Fifteen per cent more cows, Secretary
Hamilton claims, have gone to the butch

lack OF feed. He believes there will be
scarcity Of cows next year as a conse-
quence of this wholesale slaughter, and
that good COW will bring 500.
At the next meeting of the association
ways and means will be discussed for pre-
venting grocers from selling milk, the

spain Insulted American Citizens
and Deserved Chastissment.

From the Christian World.
While looking over old files we aCci-
dentally discovered an article which
was published under date of Oct. 2S,
1852, and which is remarkable from
the fact that forty-eight years ago. as
now, Spain's relations with the United
States We're of an unfriendly nature,
deserving Chastisement for the insult
to our citizens and our flag. War
clouds were at that time making their
appearance in the horizon; the Cubans
were being secretly aided by citizens
of the United States who desired to
see Cuba released from the Spanish
yoke. This is the article, taken from
the New York Tribune of that early
date
We have reason TO believe that the
organization which contemplates the
liberation of cuba by means chiefly of
military aid from this country, is in "a
more forward state than is generally
supposed. Enlistments have taken
place in most, if not all, of the large
towns from New York to Cincinnati
and st. Louis in the West, and to
Charleston and New Orleans in the
South. Moving with secrecy. and
guarding the scheme, as far as possi-
BILE, from publicity. this conspiracy
promises itself to avoid the errors and
failure of its predecessors With all
needful funds IT is supplied from
Cuba itself and from the contributions
Of SympathiZers here. At the same
time, the leaders mean to hazard
nothing by hasty and immature ac.
ton, unless unexpected circumstances
should expedite the crisis. Meanwhile.
new activity and hope will be given
to the scheme, by the absurd and mis-
taken course of the captain general of
cuba toward the ship Cornelia and the
steamer Empire city. The former
Nessel was arrested and searched i'm
the harbor of Havana, on the charge
of having a passenger on board with
out a passport; the man was sought
for and not found, but i'm his stead
another, who was provided with a
passport was seized, dragged from
the protection Of the American flag
ana cast into prison. More than this
the letter-bag Of the ship was broken
open and TansaCked, and those letters
which the police suspected Of evi
were taken from it. As matters now
stand this is intolerable: a more de.
cided outrage could not be committed
upon our flag, and we wait impa.
tiently for further explanations from
the other party"

N pears in the Cosmopolitan for
"a May and the complete work will
appear in future issues in serial
form The story goes that while at st.
Helena the captured Corsican amused
himself by putting on paper the dra-
matte story of his life. This was SUBJ
sequently smuggled out of the island
and published mysteriously in England
in 1917. But inasmuch as the book con-
tanned a good deal of political dyna-
mite France and England both sup>
pressed it, the government of the for
mer country finally hiring an obscure
person to swear that he had written
the so-called autobiography and that
it was a fake. But lately the editor of
the Cosmopolitan, Mr.. Walker, came
upon a clue which, being followed up,
tends, in his judgment at least. to con-
firm the hypothesis that Napoleon real
ly wrote the book himself. We are
promised the details on this point in an
early issue of the Cosmopolitan; and
meanwhile the autobiography will be
reproduced for what 1t is worth, there
being very few copies of it now in
existence.
