A TALE OF TWO CITIES

In the matter of closing the gap in the
proposed northeastern railway the peo-
pie of Salt Lake are even more enthusi-
astic than are the people of this city.
The possibility of the undertaking is in
that place already counted as an asset,
and no statement of the resources and
advantages of Utah is deemed complete
that omits the railway link to connect
Zion with the metropolis of Southern
California. 1t may not be known to
everybody that little road has been in
operation for years with the ambitious
title of The Salt Lake and Los Angeles, -
connecting the former city with Saltair
Beach. 1t may never get any nearer to
the ocean than it's present terminus, but ii
admirably serves as an advertisement
for our beautiful city, keeps the Zionites
busy telling strangers about us, and NO
doubt serves to stimulate local interest
in the importance of securing a tide
water connection at this point, and thus
securing q comparatively nearby out
let for their surplus products. When
two great and progressive cities like
Salt Lake and Los Angeles become thor
0ughly determined to secure rail connec-
ton, minor difficulties will rapidly dis
appear.

Thoughts From a Sermon

When Jesus came there was no room for
him in the inn." His great difficulty ever
since has been to find room in the world.
We are not to be accused of hating God
few of us debut of not loving him;
where love is due, indifference is a crime.
A head full of prejudice has no room in
it for the simplicity of Christ.
The most .damanble heresy' is an I'M
Christian spirit.
Real orthodoxy is of the heart.
Christ is not after your money, your
work or your influence. He wants you.
Christianity refuses to be a sideshow to
life; it is all of life.
The world needs Christmas Christians
that is. those who have the Christmas
spirit all the time.
No number of negatives can ever make
up an affirmative; the number of things
you don't do can never prove you Chris
tian.
1t is not so much question, Have you
received Christi" for we all have more or
less of him, but the vital point is, What
have you done with him? Have you laid
him in the manger?"
That is miserable mans heart in which
the foxes have holes and the birds have
nests, where beasts of passion and fowl
hath not where to lay his head.
Flowers grow out of the rocks ana earth
so all of the beauty and sweetness of life
grow out of the ten commandments.-Rev
Frank Crane.

coercion will be employed should their
protest pass the murmuring stage. IL
the plea is urged that the United States
will civilize the islands, educate and
convert the people to Christianity, and
that they will in the end profit by the
change IN government and conditions,
may not the Russians, the Germans and
the French and the English claim the
same beneficent Intentions regarding
Corea, China and other pagan nations of
the Orient? Is not the necessity for the
introduction of civilizing influences quite
as great in the Orient as in the South
Pacific. OF all the Asiatic nations it is
doubtful if any is more ignorant or de-
based or less lifted for government
than the Coreans, who are without edu-
cation, refinemer t, enterprise, thrift,
honesty, capacity, mental or physical
virility, or even ordinary virtue. The
only manifestations which this people
make of progress consist in the occa-
sional assassination of their king. And
as to the great Chinese empire-is it less
a terra incognita to the world at large
than equatorial Africa?
The partition of China, in the manner
laid down in the program of the great
powers, may be revolving to the popular
conscience, but the ends to be achieved
by it may justify the means, unless we
take the doubtful position that the di-
vine purpose was and is to limit educa-
tion and progress in civilization to GER
tain peoples and sections of the earth
intending that ignorance. darkness and
superstition shall prevail forever over
all the other portions of the globe.
We Americans are apt to question the
civilization which other nations may
carry into new country, but it would
be difficult for us to point to an instance
of insular acquisition upon the part of
the French, the German or the English
where the condition of the peoples con-
quered have not been improved; and so
far as Russia is concerned, her march
southwark can only be regarded in the
light of progress toward better condi-
tionS.
Manifest destiny points to the ultimate
absorption of the Chinese empire, as well
as the immense realm of the Turkish
Mohammedans, and the exciting events
that are just now taking place in the
waters of the Orient may be the begin
ming of the end of that mighty consum-
nation.

TODAY'S HERALD

The Herald presents this morning its
customary annual edition for Los An
geles and Southern California. 1t is not
intended as history of the year, by any
means, but it presents in comprehensive
yet concise form reliablc information,
facts and fiFr.,s concerning the indus
tries. resources and varied charms of
our wonderful heritage, the achieve
,Inents of the past, the conditions at the
present time, and the outlook for the
future-the story, in short, of the years
development.
1t is with pardonable qualification and
pride that The Herald calls attention to
the list of special contributors on sub
jects relating particularly to Southern
California. Each is an expert authority
regarding the topic on which he writes
These special contributors discuss,
among other things, citrus and decidu-
Gus fruits, sugar beets, irrigation, rain
fall arboriculture, the needs of the state,
city and county, the public schools of
the city and county, and the higher edu-
cation. There are illustrated special ar
ticles covering each of the seven coun-
ties of Southern California.
Another variety of information, none
the less important, is conveyed in arti-
cles on climate and health, farming in
the south, cost of an orange orchard,
olives, wines, mines, manufactures.
parks, water power, street railroads and
other vital topics.
These articles convey facts and fig
ures. They present just the kind of in
formation regarding Southern Califor-
mia that the people in the east are so
eager to secure. The meat" is there, in
concise, intelligible form.

The theory has not changed but the con-

think they detect the beginning of a

There are force and significance in this

MANIFEST DESTINY IN THE
ORIENT

Protestations come from both Berlin
and ST. Petersburg that the naval occu-
patton of certain ports in Chinese waters
by the warships of those nations is but
temporary, and that as soon as the pur-
poses for which the demonstrations were
made are achieved the fleets will be with
drawn. Russia claims that her occupa-
ton of Port Arthur is of an entirely
friendly nature, and with the consent of
the Chinese government, and that it will
cease with the return of spring and the
disappearance of ice from the harbor of
Vladivostock. The German occupation
of harbor and an extensive area back
of it is under no pretense of amity, but
confessedly to intimidate the Chinese
government into the acceptance of i'm
possible terms of settlement for the al
legged killing of couple Of missionaries.
France has laid violent hands upon, an
island belonging to China, essaying no

CREEDs

The following "notice" is taken from
an evangelical so-called religious paper:
Pastors Of church committees wish
ing to procure competent pulpit sup
ply, temporarily or otherwise, are asked
to address for references. credentials,
interview, etc., PASTOR"
The significant feature of the forego-
ing is it's delightful sectarian vagueness.
Otherwise, there is nothing remarkable
about it. Pastors, or, more strictly
speaking, ministers, sometimes get out
of job, like men in other walks of life.
Only the devil is never idle, albeit he
Finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.'
1t is to be noted that Pastor" does not
say whether he is Baptist or Methodist;
he does not appeal particularly to the
Presbyterians nor to the churches OF
Christ. He might even be liberal, ex-
cept that his advertisement appears in an
orthodox" religious paper. Pastor
wants chance to preach, and apparent
ly he is prepared to serve any evangel-
ical denomination.
This serves to show how weak, in one
sense, are the barriers that separate the
Protestant denominations. The dogmas
of sects are becoming empty phrases,
save in the one great essential. The Rev
DR.. Savage, in recent sermon on
"Creeds,'' we'll illustrates this existing
condition when he says:
Here are the churches printing, pub
fishing, scattering all over America
and Europe statements of belief which
perhaps hardly one man in ten among
their pewholders and vestrymen believe
one word of. They will tell you that
they do not believe it. They are almost
angry with you if you make the state
ment that these are church beliefs.
And at the same time we are in the
curious condition of finding that the
man who proposes himself as can
didate to the ministry in any of these
churches dares not question or doubt
these horrible statements: and if it is
found that he does question them after
he gets into the ministry he is in dan
ger of a trial for heresy.
Now, if this be true-and there is no
reason to doubt Utmost of us have per-
sonally observed the same thing-of
what advantage is the multiplicity of
creeds? If they are a dead letter, why
retain them? Do they not weaken rather
than strengthen, repel rather than at
tract? Is it not true that they sprang
from theories that nobody any longer
holds? Between creed and Christianity,
between theology and the practice of the
Christian religion, there is a wide gulf
fixed.

Queer Story From Persia

According to a queer story that comes
from Persia, the late shah was assassinat-
ed. not, as has been supposed, for political
reasons, but in revenge for a bit of plain
thievery, combined with official oppression
of the kind so common in Oriental coun-
tries. The murderer. Mahomed Ria, was
theological student, who had been
obliged, on account of the confiscation of
his property, to become trader. He sold
some of his goods to a son of the shah

into prison, where he remained for seven
years, and his wife in the meantime was
transferred to the princes harem. After
