Bishop johnson preached an inter-

ing Earnestly Contend for the Faith"
Jude g. He said In part:
1.-THE faith is now as necessary for
man as in the apostolic days. 1t is a
simple gospel, but as important now as
then. Formerly, perhaps even now
men use the worlds weapons in de-
Tending the truth. They prosecuted
with fire and thumb screw to secure
recantation. If then they failed they
put those whom they regarded as the
prisoners of God to death. Every man
mistreated has had a hundred de-
tenders to take up his cause.
But this has all been wrong. Christ
had to overcome enemies, but he con-
quered by new principle. He used
a sword but 1t was the sword of the
spirit. Our strength must lie upon
spiritual forces"

"THE HOPE OF THE
MAN WHO TOLLS"

Chaplain Kidder of the Strangers
Friend society preached yesterday an
the subject, THE Hope of the Man
Who Tolls" He said in part:
1.-The men of toll are the bees that
have made all the honey in the hive of
civilization. All progress in art, liter
ature, invention and commerce has
depended upon the toilers. The man
who tolls today does it honestly, is an
uncrowned king. The realm of toll is
one, however, of many hardships and
the pressure of those who wish to eat
all the honey without producing any
often make the lot of the toiler exceed
ingly discouraged. The expectations of
the man of toll are many and serve
as incentives to rouse him in the morn
ing, stimulating him during the heat
OF the noon-day and urge him on into
make him home, tolls for wife and
children, tolls to give these loved ones
comfort, education, refinement, to pre-
pare them for life's struggles and to
place them on a higher plane than he
ever expects to reach. These thoughts
inspire him to toll on day after day
I'm how many ways he is doomed to
disappointment. Sickness, accident
loss of employment and the thousand
aggravating circumstances and expert
ences are sure to test him and some
times bring him to the very verge OF
hopelessness. The offer of the Christ
who said, Come unto me all ye thai
labor and are heavy laden and 1 will
give you rest is the one great hope OF
the man OF toll and hope that ne
calamity can shatter, no human bitter,
ness deny and no selfishness rob. A
man of toll who is impervious to th'
common disappointments and lot o
man is the one who labors for the mea
which perishes not. Sheltered here
there is no boycott, there is no lockout
there is no labor union discord; tn,
man with hands hard and back bent
immortal toiler. is secure"

The Rev. C. C. Willett ID. D., pastor
of the Orchard avenue church, at the
evening service last night, notified his
congregation of his resignation from
his pastorate, which he has asked may

months
The pastors desire to see the church
removed to a more favorable location

Or. Albert n. Smith breaches Strong
Sermon, Declaring Church Is
Built Upon illumination
From Heaven

About $4,000 was pledged at the dedi-
catory service of the Central Baptist
church, corner Pico and Alvarado
streets, yesterday afternoon.
The Rev. A. S. Phelps, the pastor,
opened the service. Seated on the plat
form with him were the Revs. A. II.
Smith, c. c. Pierce Thomas Baldwin,
c. w. Clatworthy and A. P. Graves.
The front of the platform was banked
with Gala lilies and smilax.
The following program was carried
out: Solo. Mrs. Mary M. Schallert: in
vocation, the Rev. C. C. Pierce; scrip
tural reading, the Rev. C. w. Clat-
worthy; sunny Southland" instru-

net, Miss Grace Adell Freely piano:
anthem. choir; dedicatory prayer, the
Rev. Thomas Baldwin; hymn, choir
and congregation; good cheer remarks,
C. II. Barker and D. K. Edwards.
The Rev. Albert Hatcher Smith
preached the dedicatory sermon, TAX
ing his text from Math. 1918. He said
in part:
"One great problem in our lives is to
adjust ourselves and our needs in ac-
cordance with the precepts of Christ.
No man can successfully preach the
truth when he is devoid of it in his
own soul. He must possess the full
ness of the spirit Of God. There is
great danger Of mental lethargy. We
must partake more of intellectual bread
and develop more intellectual vigor.
Key Leads to Life Eternal
"The church of Christ is built upon
the illumination from heaven. There
is a key that not only locks and un-
locks our earthly abodes, but one that
gains entrance into the kingdom OF
heaven. If we do not understand the
way it is our privilege to ask for the
key that leads to eternal life"
The speaker dwelt somewhat upon
the baptismal ceremony of immersion
and the close communion service of
the Baptist church. His ideas were
firm regarding the strict adherence to
the former. but he expressed leniency
with reference to the latter.
I'VE need comprehensive theology"
said the speaker. I'VE must not ignore
the past in qualifying our actions now
and in the future. There is much to
be accomplished among the FIVE
millions of Baptists in the United
States
Following the sermon the Rev. Mr..
Phelps said that the church property
had cost about $4,000 About $4,000
had been raised by subscription and
about $4,000 had been secured on term
of years. He stated that s350O is need
ed to be raised to meet the obligations
of the church. This amount was soon
raised. with $500 additional.

SAYS RICH MUST DO
THEIR PART FOR GOD

The Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage
preached sermon in the First Pres
byterian church yesterday on the sub
ject, "Wealths Difficulties" He pointed
out the self-sufficiency of wealth, the
obstacles it's possession opposes to spir-
itual progress, and showed how these
may be overcome. DR.. Talmage said
in part:
1.-THE rich man is loath to bend the
knee and come to Christ as a sup
plant pauper. He dislikes to sufren-
der his gold and silver and railroad
bonds and warehouses and big bank
account, and to unload all at the mercy
seat. He hates to say, Lord, all that
am and all that have is thine And
yet. that is just the way the rich man
must come. He must come exactly in
the same way and with the same spirit
which Christ indicated when he told
the rich young ruler of the east to
tically said to this would-be disciple:
Young man, unloose your gold and
silver, your farms and plantations and
your herds from off your back. Go and
sell all that thou hast and give to the
poor. Then down on your knees at the
crawls through the needles eye, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven and
come and follow me- Oh man today,
are you ready to lay your open pocket
book at the Masters feet as we'll as
your prayers?
"Rich man, God is calling you to go
and work in his vineyard. The harvest
is ripe, the laborers are few. What
would you think If, when the thirteen
colonies were in a death grapple for
their liberties, George Washington had
stayed at home and sent substitute
to the war? If George Washington,
the rich man. could afford to give up
everything for his native land, you can
afford to give Christ your personal SER
vice. Christ wants your money? Yes
He also wants you. Woman, society
woman! Woman with your diamonds
and silks, you cannot afford to send a
servant to represent you in service fol
Jesus Christ! The reason you and your
husband are drifting away from grace
is due to lack of Christian service
Daughter, son. children of wealthy
parents, never think you are above
working In the young peoples societies
for Christ! Christ wants you! He
wants you to consecrate your posses
sions to his cause; but he also wants
you. Let the rich man and the rich
woman, the rich son and the rich
daughter, as well as the Christian
harness themselves today in the gospe
chariot and pull all together"

MINISTER breaches
IN LOCAL THEATER

The Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills spoke
yesterday morning in Belasco theater
to a large audience. The regular Sun
day services of the Fellowship will
hereafter be held in the morning at
Belasco theater and in the evening at
Simpson auditorium.
Last evening Mr.. Mills subject was,
'Is Christ God?" He said in part:
There are five views which are held
concerning the divinity of Christ.
These are the theological, the mystical,
the moral, the human and the skepti-
cal.
ITO these I would add another which
might be called essential. All men need
what Jesus seems to offer, but more
than this we need the first-hand dis
covery of that which is relatively of
little value at second hand. If we can
not learn Jesus secret and live as he
did his life means nothing to us; if we
can do this then that is the important
fact for us.
Life is too short, other issues are too
pressing, mans critical facilities too
limited and the results too unsatisfac-
tory for me to spend my time with the
critics; either in attacking or defend
ing the traditional theories.
But we all ought to recognize the
perception of God in Christ as only the
beginning of genuine spiritual vision.
Let us not be content until we also can
discover God in all experience, in ali
men. in all things and in our own souls,
and can say, as Jesus did, 4 and my
Father are One"

or has doubts about her ability to carry
a child to a mature birth let her write
to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, whose
advice Is free to all expectant or
would-be mothers. She has helped
thousands of women through this anx-
ious period.
Women suffering with irregular or
painful menstruation, leucorrhBa, dis

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because Of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because il
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia K. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.

For the first time In a career cover

are articles of every conceivable de-
sign, from quaint garments of three
generations ago to the raiment of
swell of the Bath period. There are
shoes of almost every period, a variety
of wigs from character old men to
minstrel's fright wig, yet in all this
vast assortment Barnum was forced
Saturday to humiliate himself by going
into Broadway department store and
bashfully saying to the young woman
cltrk:
Il want to get a pair of corsets."
What size?" the clerk queried.
I'm sure I don't know" said the
Belasco actor.
Are they for young woman or
middle-aged lady?"
They're not for a lady at ALL"
They're not?"

"If you'll be good enough to give me
a tape measure I'll try and give you
an idea OF my equatorial dimensions
and about the style-say do you know
what sort of corsets the women wear in
Brazil?''
"Sir!" haughtily replied the clerk.
"The styles they use in Brazil-where
the nuts come FROM" explained Bar
mum.
We'll, no, I can't and besides I'm
here 10 sell corsets to womeA who have
a rather definite idea what they want;
I'm not an information bureau, that's
what I'm not. Sadie, got a tape
measure and history of Brazil in your
pocket?" the seller of stays shouted to
a fellow clerk across the aisle. "This
gent wants to buy pair of corsets for
himself and he doesn't know what size
he wants"
This information Immediately at
tracted the attention of a bunch OF
women shoppers and they commenced
to laugh and gathered around the now
nervous and perspiring stage director
of the Belasco company.
1T thought l did want to purchase a
pair of corsets when I came In here but
you know-really now, 1 am not just
sure if I do or not and you'll have to
excuse me. I'm dreadfully sorry IL
have put you to any inconvenience. you
know" apologized the actor as he re-
treated from the corset counter.
When Barnum got back to the Belasco
theater and related his adventure in
quest of the pair of stays Amelia Gard
ner said
you foolish man, the women in Bra
I'll don't wear corsets. could have
told you that. And besides you don't
have to wear them when you play the
bogus Donna Lucia from Brazil, where
the nuts come from"
Now what is worrying Mr.. Barnum IS
whether both the clerk in the depart
ment store and Miss Gardner, the
Belasco leading woman. have been hav-
ing a good time at his expense or do
the women In Brazil really bundle

do what particular brand do they wear
