URGES NEED OF REVIVAL
Rev. William Horace Day Says Evan-
qeIism Is Necessary

At the First Congregational church
yesterday morning the pastor, Rev.
William Horance Day, preached on
Seasons of Refreshing Times" when
men were especially ready to be
evangelical He said in part: "We live
in an age of change. Old mental ma
chinery has given place to new. The
The failure to secure results in evan
gelistic work has led men to say the
age of great revivals is past. The
question of many earnest souls is this,
Is evangelism an essential element in
religious growth? Should not the
slower method of education give suffi-
cient growth?
1--WE have learned the Importance of
such methods If the gospel is to have
more than a fleeting interest in human
hearts. They must not only feel, they
must think. To gain completeness of
character and permanence the spiritual
nature must be persistently educated.
Spiritual education is not all. 1t has
not completely succeeded in bringing
men into unity with God through
Christ. Mere appeal to the intellect
leaves men with the sense of the un-
reality of God. Emerson characterizing
it, Said my languid gentleman at OK
ford, There is nothing new or true and
no matter
"The educational process is not
enough. 1t cannot be neglected, but 1T
is not enough. Mr. Moody said the
evangelistic method was essential be-
cause the church was founded in re-
vival, every new denomination and the
consequent quickening of spiritual life
has grown out of evangelistic seasons;
that today four-fifths of the mem
bership of the churches, among
them the most devoted and stable,
are the fruits of evangelism. We
prove our answer by examining 9TH
er fields of human life. The highest
success in industrial life has been
reached only by the employment of
this method, revival in business in
terest. 1 attended such evangelism
in the interest of life insurance COM
pany some time ago. We have just
had a revival in politics which cost Los
Angeles over $4,000. These city and
national elections have done for our
patriotism what the best education in
school and press could not do if un-
aided. The great simultaneous mission
is on modern lines. 1t appeals to the
whole city and will succeed if we obey
the text, Repent ye, therefore, and
turn again that your sins may be blot
ted out, that so there may come sea-
sons of refreshing from the presence of
the Lord"

If you would say that nothing has been
gained except by demanding your
rights, then I would say that that has
been the whole trouble with the organ
ization Of society and is today. Duties
and not rights are the important things.
There is something deeper than class
consciousness and the class struggle,
and that is the consciousness Of the
solidarity Of the race. Mankind are
one, and what is worth while will pro-
ceed from this spirit and from this
alone"

erfu1 factor in the Christian system.
In so far as men depart from this
fundamental truth and substitute
.creeds or church organizations for
fealty to the personal Christ so far do
they lack in power with God and man.
To all earnest inquirers his challenge
was to come and see" to make a most
searching investigation of his claims,
his character, his life and purposes.
Personal contact with Jesus usually
means surrender to his authority and
obedience to his will. When men in
true search for the truth study the
Masters life their hearts soon find true
satisfaction.
His call was to all men, irrespective
of rank or condition. Man is OF infinite
worth apart from his earthly possess
sions or environments. All classes of
men gathered about him to CLEAN his
words of wisdom. The humber classes
of mankind accepted most quickly and
fully his claim to divine soulship and
gave adherence to his supreme author
ity. On such lives h most quickly inn
pressed his own character and teach
ing. and lifted them into fellowship
with himself and set them to the
great task of winning the world to
God.
Jesus was distinctly a personal
worker. He won his disciples by per-
sonal contact. He discovered the in
dividual and dealt with him i'm person.
His own hands fashioned the man
quarried from nature and fitted him
for a place in the eternal temple.
He set his disciples to per-
sonal work in winning men to God.
One goes and seeks his brother and
thus turns fleshly relations into chan
nels along which flow the tides of
spiritual power and vitality. Another
reaches and influences a neighbor and
turns him to the lamb of God that
taketh away the sins of the world. To
succeed as soul winners for Christ each
person must be personal worker,
must work in the circle and under the
conditions of life where he lives. Men
are not brought to God in regiments,
but singly. Men are not won to Christ
by strangers, but by friends whose
hearts are on fire with divine love. If
all Christians could utilize the few SIM
of Christ's first few disciples this city
would soon be captured by and for
Christ"

HOW TO TREAT THE OLD FOLKS
DR.. Bowling Pleads for Reverence of
the Aged

In preaching at Christ Protestant
Episcopal church yesterday morning
on, "How to Treat the Old Folks" the
seventh sermon in the series concern
ing Marriage and After Marriage"
Rev. DIR. George Thomas Bowling said:
"In the first place, forget that they
are old folks. There is a difference be-
tween your generation and theirs.
There must be. Make that difference
just as little as possible Have you
heard a good story down town? Save
it for them. And the more bubbling
over with rollicking humor it is the
better. Is there book you are read
ing, or even daily paper which con-
tains some choice bit? Save it for
them. And let them know you saved
1t for them. They are no longer on
the stage among the actors. But an
old PLAYER always loves to sit where he
can watch the play. Then ring up the
curtain for them just as often as you
can. Whatever interests you, bring 1t
home to them. Let them feel that
you are their chum. That was a noble
tribute which the mother of Henry
Ward Beecher rendered to him in her
old age, when she said. Il always love
to have Henry come and see me. He
brings so much sunshine, and he
makes me feel young again.. Forget
that they are the old folks
"And then. in the second place, re-
member that they are the old folks.
Remember it that you may be ten
der of them. They are not as young
as they once were. They cannot stand
what they once could. Then remember
that, that you may ever be thoughtful
and patient and kind. The shoulders
are bent now. What made them bent?
Carrying your troubles all through the
years. The fingers are distorted now.
What made them so? Working for
you. Yes. they are the old folks now,
but II was not always so. That aged

mother was young once. And what did
she do with her youth? She gave II to
you. When you had the Group It was
her hand that bound up the throat and
bathed the aching head.
when you came sobbing with some
childish sorrow to her, she was never
too busy or too tired to take you in
her arms and comfort you. Never a
touch of tenderness like hers. It is
not strange that the hand trembles
and the memory is beginning to fail a
bit for she has given her strength and
her life for you. Though we live a
hundred years we never forget that
touch. During the civil war young
soldier lay dangerously wounded, and
in his delirium be kept calling for his
mother And so they telegraphed for
her from distant city. But when
she came they said; You can't go in.
He's too ILL., He couldn't stand the
shock And so she stood at the door
watching and waiting and weeping.
But when she heard him groan she
begged to be permitted to enter. L
won't speak to him. she said, let me
only sit beside him But as she sat
there with his face against the wall
the mothers instinct was too strong,
and reaching out her hand she laid it
gently on his forehead. And then he
said, Nurse, that's just like my
mothers touch. No other hand like
hers.
"But they are the old folks now.
There is frost gathering in the locks
and there are wrinkles on the kindly
brow, and the step is not so long as it
once was.
"Ah, make their last days bright and
beautiful Never let them think they
are the old folks.
"And then finally, while you remem-
Der that they are the old folks, and
you forget that they are the old folks,
help them to forget 1t. Shield them
from want and the cares and anxieties
of life.
"Where can l find such words of con-
tempt and scorn as shall fittingly char
acterize those who, 'disobedient to
parents without natural dHeCJloIl VIII
refuse to share their very crust If need
be, yes, and their last crust with the
father or the mother who cared for
them in their unconscious infancy? If
there be such in this congregation this
morning, though you be seated here in
this temple of God amid people of re-
sponsibility, though you be clad in gar
ments of refinement and perhaps pride
yourself on your standing in society, If
you are man, 1 tell you there are
men in states prison who are as FAR
superior to you as the stars of heaven
are superior to the dark lantern of the
thief: and If you are a woman, l tell
you that there are women in these
streets selling their bodies for hunger,
and for the hunger of those they love,
who are saints compared with you.
The eye that mocketh at his father
and despiseth to obey his mother, the
ravens of the valley shall pick it out
and the younger eagles shall eat It. "

TREAT ALL AS BROTHERS
Rev. q. Fay Mills Attacks Class
Prejudice

PreJuuiCc
Rev. BENJAMIN Fay Mills, permanent
minister of the Los Angeles Fellowship,
preached twice yesterday in Masonic
hall. to congregations that filled the
large auditorium and were very en-
thusiastic. The Fellowship orchestra,
under the leadership of A. Walper,
greatly delighted the people, and Miss
Bess Welch rendered vocal solo in
the morning, and Ernest Reginald Lee
man in the evening. Mr.. Mills Will
speak at the mid-week meeting Of the
Fellowship in Hartman hall, 331h
South Hill street, on Universal
Brotherhood" on Wednesday evening
at p. M sharp.
Mr.. Mills chose for his topic yester-
day morning 1.-THE Infidel's Prayer"
He said that he regarded as the worst
infidel the man who stands and prays
as the Pharisee of old, Lord, 1 thank
thee that 1 am not as other men, y
Mr.. Mills went on to say: "He Is an in
fidel because he is a practical dis
believer in the power that is making
the universe. We see in men what
we are, and if we see deformity and
brutality in Others it is because we are
deformed or brutal ourselves. The
woman who really loves her brutal hus-
band and sees the noble man in him is
the only one who really sees him.
Love is not blind; it is the only time
when one really sees.
"We find that men are alike in their
origin, largely in the kinds of expert
ences, in their destiny, and they have
the same sort of bodies and brains and
consciences. The distinctions between
them are artificial and are made only
by man. The late Mayor Jones of
Toledo spoke a true word in his thrill
ing song which tells us that No title
is higher than man.
"Men have believed that something
would be gained by distinctions be-
tween superior and inferior classes. 1t
never was a gain to the so-called
superior class except in some possible
advantage of food, clothing or shelter
Being in the superior class has never
made a man in any wise finer, purer.
juster man, and it very often mas made
him arrogant, luxurious and bestial.
Those called inferior never thought 1t
was an advantage. The meanest may
become noble; every enemy may be-
come friend. and some OF the greatest
Jewels are found in the mire.
"The way to avoid this class distinc-
ton. personally, is to treat every man
individually as though he were a
brother.
II would go farther than the Social
lists do. Private property will have to
go, but the class consciousness and
class struggle continue to the funda-
mental principle of the social conscious
ness and the social conscience. 1 pro-
pose to let my voice be raised unceas-
ingly for the organization OF economies
all for one and one for all; but l also
propose to say that less than nothing
is accomplished by any appeal to the
needs, the sectarian spirit the preju-
dices, the passions and the selfishness
OF any class. The poor may grasp,
but never grasp what they want. Let
the amelioration I'm our laws of prop
erty proceed from the concessions OF
the rich, not from the grasping of the
poor, is not all that | would say. Let
1t proceed from the right spirit IN both.

When we see boys loafing on the
streets, in depots and public places
in general, we often wonderful they
know that business men are watch
ing them. In every bank, store and
Office there will be some place for
some boys to fill. Those who have
the management of the affairs that
business house, will select a boy in
whom they have confidence. When
they select one of those boys they
will not select him for his ability to
talk sassy" swear, use slang,
smoke cigarets or tap a keg of beer.
Those men have little to say, and
some have few of these habits who
are as near gentlemen in every
sense of word as they can find, and
they are Athletic give the character
OF every boy in town. They are not
looking for rowdies. When a boy
applies for one of these places and
IS refused they may not tell him
the reason why they do not want
him, but the boy can depend on it
he has been rated according to his
behavior. Boys cannot afford to
adopt the habits and conversation
Of the loafers and rowdies if they
want to be called to responsible
positions.

What Shea Says About Arbitration.

Referring to the alleged proposition
to arbitrate whether the Team Own
ers should be permitted to keep their
contracts with customers. Shea is
quoted as follows: "We can't arbitrate
the right Of the employers to do bust
ness. That is legal proposition. The
strike is still on as strong as ever.
When the unions agree to arbitrate it
will be to arbitrate the strike. DO you
think we are crazy, to deny that the
employers have the right to haul
goods? Dolyou think we want to get
into jail? There's nothing In that propo-
sitiOn.'' III mw s..

MUSIC ON THE FARM.

Just as a great city possesses a
music peculiar to it's great and
diversified industries, SO associated
with the farm and farm life are
there harmonies peculiar to country
life, and it is these harmonies which
in large degree contribute, though
perhaps almost insensibly, to the
charm of rural existence. Some, the
few, comprehend and appreciate
these harmonies every day of their
lives; others, the many, only realize
their existence when removed from
them. There are the natural
harmonies incident to the changing
seasons-the patter of the rain
upon the roof, the silken rustic of
the leaves stirred by the June
breeze, the staccato pelting of the
hail, the great organ diapason Of
the summer thunder storm, the
fortissimo roar of the north wind as
1t bears the blizzard III it's breath,
the lullaby of the south wind as it
ushers in a returning spring.
Then there is the bird orchestra
robin and bluebird and the call Of
wild fowl as spring heralds, the
oriole as bandmaster in a golden
livery, the fandango of the catbird,
the aria of the thrush, the alto solo
of the red-breasted grosbeak, the
andanto minor of the mourning
dove and the nocturne OF the
whlp-poor-will, while the crow, jaw,
sparrow and blackbird made up
motley charivari crowd with horse
fiddles, tin pans and horns.
Then there is the music of the
homestead-the tenor solos of the
roosters, the baritone gobble of the
turkeys, the hilarious jigs of the
cackling hens, the lowing of old
bossy, the whinny of the horses,
the bleatlng calves and the calls
from the sheep fold. Afield there
is the steady chIr-r-r of the cricket
and the katydld, bobolink's rhapsody
as he swings on some bending weed

SHAW OPPOSES ROOSEVELT
Objects TO the Purchase of Foreign Ma
terials for the Building of the
Panama Canal.

Washington, May 10. - Secretary
Shaw's vigor in asserting his opposi-
ton to the plan Of the president and
Secretary Taft to purchase materials
abroad for the Panama canal construc-
ton work has astonished men in high
official life here and they would not
be surprised if it should hasten the day
of his retirement from the cabinet.
In private he has expressed repeatedly
in the most forcible manner his belief
that grave mistake is being made.
Secretaries Wilson and Metcalf in
dorse his views, but are much milder
in opposition.
President Roosevelt is making
known that he does not intend to re-
cede in the slightest degree from the
stand he and Secretary Taft have
taken. It Is declared to be the inten-
ton to buy comparatively few materi-
ais abroad between now and the as
sembling Of congress, but enough pur-
chases will be made to demonstrate
where goods are cheapest.

One thing that may or may not have
an influence toward peace was a meet
ing between the employers chief coun-
sci, Levy Mayer, and President Com
pers and Clarence barrow. They were
together for some time, but it was
stated that when the conference closed
there had been no result. At this writ
ing the end Of the strike seems as far
away as ever. The chiefs of the team
sters give a sweeping denial to the re-
port that any scheme has been agreed
to for the close of the strike, and Com
perS is said to be bending his efforts
to the reinstatement in their places Of
the strikers, as a condition precedent
to the end.

Refuses to Reply to Questions for Fear OF
discriminating Himself
President G. P. Shea was an unwill.
ing witness at the hearing on the fed
eral injunction before Master-in- Chan
Gerry Sherman. After an examination
lasting two hours all that Attorney
Levy Mayer succeeded in learning was
that Shea was 35 years old, was mar
ried and had several children. Every
vital question on strike issues Shea
refused to answer on the ground that
it might tend to eliminate him.
Among the questions which Shea re-
fused to answer on the ground that
his replies might incriminate him
were:
Were you present at meeting be-
tween employers and labor leaders at
the Grand Pacific hotel April 11?'
did you attend a meeting between
employers and labor men at the Well
ington hotel April 8?'
''Were you ever at a meeting be-
tween employers and labor representa-
tives of the unions at the Wellington
hotelY'
"Do you know where room w at the
Wellington hotel is?"
did you have anything to do with
the calling of the teamsters' strike
against Montgomery Ward 4 Coz"
Mayer wanted to prove that at the
meetings referred to above Shea threat
ened to tie up the city as tight as a
drum. After warmly attempting to OBJ
tain from Shea anything about these
meetings, Mayer said: Il have sworn
transcripts of conversations which
Shea held at both these meetings. His
words were taken down stenographical.
