TWENTIETH CENTURY IDEA
OF JESUS OF NAZARETH

Yesterday morning the Fellowship
platform was occupied by Reynold E.
Blight, who has charge of the services
during the absence of the Rev. Benja-
min Fay Mills at Venice. His subject
was "What. Will the Twentieth Cen
tury Think of Jesus of Nazareth" He
said in part:
This is an age of skepticism and
doubt. 1t is an age of investigation.
But it is not an iconoclastic age. 1t
does not destroy for the sake of de-
stroying. The heart of the age is true.
a love of the truth And what will
this age think of Jesus?
1.-THE twentieth century will regard
Jesus as pre-eminently a man. We no
longer look upon him as a god, demi-
god or a prodigy. With the better
knowledge of today, these old theo-
logical conceptions have passed away.
We think of him as a man, even as
you and I, who suffered, struggled and
conquered as a man. We have lifted
brow and placed thereon the kingly
crown of triumphant manhood. We
hail him as our elder brother in the
fullest and truest sense and we admire
him as a regal man.
I'VE shall look upon him as the
great moral example of the ages
Human nature is the same in all ages
and, although he lived in an age and
amid surroundings seemingly far diff
ferent from ours, yet we realize that
the qualities of a noble manhood are
the same from age without regard to
environment. The strength, the purity
of his character attract us, and even
as the young Raphael, upon his first
introduction to the studio of Michael
Angelo, felt his artist soul leap within
him and cried, L, too, am painter
so we, in the presence of this divine
man feel the glad response within us
and we also cry, We, too, are divine.

Attempt by Housewife to Hasten
Kitchen Fire With Kerosene Is At
tended by Fatal ResuIts-Home Is
Destroyed by Flames

Another life was sacrificed to the ex-
ploding oil can yesterday morning when
Mrs. R. H. G.. Roennick died at the
county hospital from the effects of
burns received in an explosion Of kero-
sene with which she was kindling a
fire in the kitchen stove at her home
in Monrovia Saturday evening.
While preparing the evening meal,
and in order to hasten the fire in the
stove, she poured a quantity of kero-
sene on the Goals. An explosion fol-
lowed, blowing off the top of the stove
and scattering the flames over her
clothing and setting fire to the house.
Frightened by the explosion and sufz
fering from the burns, she ran from
the house and fell fainting into the
arms of her husband, who was return
ing from work. He seized a bucket
filled with water and dashed it over
her, but it had no effect in extinguish-
ing the flames and he ran into the
house and took the blankets off the
bed and wrapped them about her,
smothering the flames.
She was taken to the county hospital
Immediately and fingered in terrible
agony until o'clock yesterday morn
ing. when, she died. She never spoke
after being taken to the hospital, al
though conscious to the last.

EVANGELIST CLOSES HIS
THREE WEEKS ENGAGEMENT

After three weeks evangelistic SER
vices which have nightly attracted
crowds to the tent erected on East Fifth
street, Rev. Mr.. Bulgin brought his
work to a close yesterday with after
noon and evening meetings.
An unusual interest in the evangelis-
tic work has been manifested from the
start and DR.. Bulgin's sermons, treat
ing subjects of everyday interest, have
brought larger results than it was
hoped for when the question of a
series of meetings was first broached.
DR.. Bulgin at the afternoon meeting
yesterday took his text from Geneais
41:1:21, likening the vices of society 20
the seven cows of Pharaoh's dream. He
said in part:
"Millionaires are so common today
that we pay little attention to them. II
is the true man, rather than the mil-
lionaire, who rises highest in the esti-
nation of his country.
"If william Mckinley had been
measured by the almighty dollar he
would have been the biggest failure in
America. IT Is not generally known
but he made an assignment OF his
property while he was holding the posi-
tion Of president and paid every honest
debt. Senator Hanna redeemed his
home for him and presented 1t as q
gift to Mrs. Mckinley. Was our mar
tyred presidents life a failure?

Officer William Lindsay was accosted
in Hollenbeck park yesterday afternoon
by a six-year-old lad, giving his name
as Gordon Kingensmith. saying: "Om-

into sobs. For some time the officer
quizzed the lad, but the little fellow
was too frightened to give any further
information regarding himself or from
whence he came. 1t was ascertained
upon investigation that the lad got off
the Boyle Heights car alone at the
park. Finding that he could not locate
the boys home, from the information
gained from him. he took the lad to the
city jail where he was placed in charge
OF the police matron.

as organist and choir master at the

severe and he desires to come to a
warmer climate. He is native of
