CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE
A "CHRISTlAN EDUCATI0N''

Commencement week was opened at
st. Vincents college yesterday morn
ing with a solemn mass of thanksgiv-
ing, celebrated at 1890 o'clock at st.
Vincent's church. Rev. H. j. O'Con-
nor, c. NJ, was celebrant; Rev. w.
Schultz, c. NJ, deacon and Mr.. Nc
Hugh, C. M, subdeacon. The affairs
were prettily decorated with yellow
and white cut flowers, the college COL
ors.
Very Rev. DIR. Joseph S. Glass, C. M,
president of the college, preached the
sermon, taking for his topic Christ
ian Education" He urged parents to
give their children religious, as well
as secular training. He said In part
you may sometimes have heard
that the American people are re-
ligious people Sometimes this seems
evident in certain communities and,
were we to consider only those COM
munities, we might be pursuaded that
the American people are religious. But
when we consider the real facts and
take government statistics, we must
come to the sad conclusion that we are
not as religious as we think.
"About one year ago. in the great
city of Chicago, the churches were
watched one Sunday morning to as
certain the number who attended
church. These figures were appalling.
Look at our own city. There are many
who go to some church while there are
thousands who are at home. In every
city we find the same indication of
carelessness and neglect Of the great
command to worship God.
my dear brethren, we are not a
church going people, and If the signs
of the time mean anything, they point
to the sad fact of a great field of in
fidelity in this country. Pleasure is
becoming rampant. When we look in
to the outside we find millions of our
American people leaving God aside and
with no prescribed form of worship.
"The young people are growing up
to be an unworshiping people. Young
men and women gradually move away
from the church and gradually cease
their religious devotions and put God
out of their hearts. You have heard
young men say religion is good if we
have the time, but we have not the
time They often say, believe In
God, but / am doing my full duty If
J. am good man and don't rob my
neighbor.' Those are the principles of
religion without God"

STEAL FIVE SOUVENIR SPOONS
Thieves Surprised While at Work and
Leave Other Property Behind

"It is a poor spoon that will not do
some one of us good" was the revised
version of an old proverb of which two
thieves bethought themselves last
night when they visited the storehouse
of l.. W. Morgan, 627 Miami street.
Five dainty souvenir spoons, one of
them portraying Sing Sing penlten-
tiary, made up the total results of
their robbery and, but for the appear
ance of the owner, their depredations
would have been much larger
Morgan went out to his barn last
night to see that the things which
he had stored there We're intact and
as he opened the front door the two
men stepped through the door leading
to the alley and disappeared in the
darkness large number of articles
had been placed in sacks preparatory
to being moved by the thieves, but
Morgan's appearance saved his pos
sessions.

DIVINE PARTNER
ASSURES SUCCESS
STORY or "JEsUs AND THE
FISHERMEN"
PASTORS ELOQUENT SERMON
Larger Blessings and Greater oppor-
tunItles Are Fruits of ProprIe-
torshIp Of God and stew-
ardshIp Of Man

"Jesus and the Fishermen" was the
theme on which Rev. ]. E. Collom
preached yesterday morning at the New
Jerusalem church. In part he said:
Must Peter and their companions leave
their nets at the seaside7 What mat
ter? Henceforth they shall catch men.
With the Master In the ship, Peter was
successful. Shall not we be really pros
porous II we take Jesus with us in our
business. our study, our daily toll? The
recognition of His proprietorship and Of
our stewardship, Of His right to corn-
sci and our duty to obey, will place our
feet in the highway of spiritual fortune,
in the royal road to heavenly wealth.
"a larger blessing, a wider opportlin-
ity for service, came to Peter and his
colleagues after an exasperating and
frutless night of toll. So with us.
Blessed is the man that endureth trial;
when he is approved he shall wear a
crown. The apostle Paul preached the
good tidings in Lystra. At first the
people shouted, He is a god; let us wor-
ship him!' Presently, however,
through evil persuasion, they stoned
him and dragged him out of the city,
supposing that he was dead. But, while
his disciples stood prayerfully about
him, he rose up and entered the city.
Then comforted, he exhorted them to
continue therein, saying also that
through many tribulations we must
enter the kingdom of Cod
THE public ministry of Jesus was not
entered upon till after forty days of
temptation in the wilderness. Gethse-
name and Calvary lay in the path of
His glorifcation. 1t was when Israel
was hemmed in on every side, with the
sea in front and the enemy in the rear,
that God appeared with His inspiring
command, Go forward!' Then were
the waters divided; they stood In con-
gealed waters on either side; and Israel
passed through to victory. Be not dis
couraged, then, brother, sister, when
outward success seems thwarted, when
cherished plans fail, when the gilded
crown, ready to fall upon your head,
turns to dross. Fix your eye on the
morning star and wait for the coming
of day

MAN WITH WAGON GETS
INTO JAM ON STREET
Forced to Choose Between Possible
Injury and Arrest and Accepts
Latter

s'when you see the patrol wagon COM
ing down the street and hear the bell
<ringing you want to stop, otherwise
the policemen are liable to take you
for the man they are looking for" said
Joseph Frinier yesterday afternoon to
a circle of his friends as they stood
about him while he deposited SIS with
the police desk sergeant, as his bond.
''When I saw that wagon coming
down the street had my choice Of
being struck in the rear by Pasa-
dena electric car, on the flank by the
patrol wagon or driving across the
street and being arrested. I chose the
latter. but next time I'll take the street
car route and save my money and pos
sibly get damages, instead Of paying
them.
at don't mind choosing the lesser of
two evils, but when three of them come
in a bunch and a fellow has to think
quick. mistakes are very liable to be
made"
Frinier was arrested by Wagon
Driver Allen, who declares that he rang
his gong several times at the corner
of First and Main streets for Frinier
to stop his wagon until the patrol
had passed the corner. Instead Of
obeying the signal. it is said Frinier
continued UP Main street and narrow
ly averted a serious accident with the
patrol wagon.
He was sent to the police station,
WI re he was released on SIS bail after
charge Of misdemeanor had been en-
cred against him.
