HAS FAITH IN MANKIND
Rev. Frank Dewitt TsImsse, During
Eloquent Sermon, Says Most
PeopIe Are Honest

In his sermon at the First Presby-
terlan church yesterday Rev. Frank
Dewitt Talmage spoke of man, the
debtor, In his true relations to his
divine creditor. The minister said I'm
part:
MANY people talk as IL this world
was full Of rogues. l do not believe any
such charge There Is more honesty in
the world than It gets credit for In
deed, It Is my belief that most people
are honest, that most people want to
do right. This is not a world OF hypo-
critics. All men are not scoundrels
When, in 1919, the statement was made
in the British parliament that every
man had his price. and that all men
could be bribed, a statesman arose and
said: That charge is not true. Bene
dict Arnold might become a traitor,
but there are many generals in the
American army whom all the money
in King Georges treasury cannot buy
If you have not found this kind of a
world there Is something wrong with
your own principles. The man who
declares that all men are rogues at
heart Is practically making confession
of his own dishonesty. IL you tell me
that all men cheat, / conclude that you
yourself would cheat If you had the
| chance. 1t sometimes takes a thief to
| catch a thief.
"If most people were not honest It
would be difficult to explain some of
| the customs of the business world. In
| many of our cities. lunch buffets have
| been started, where you can go to a
large counter and help yourself. You
can eat as much as you want. Prac-
| tically no one watches you. The pro-
prietor leaves it to your own honesty
| to tell how much you owe. Does not
this prove that most people are honest
In the, streets of New York, Philadel-
rhia and Chicago. stands are placed.
| Upon these stands are piled the morn
| ing newspapers. You walk up to q
stand and take the paper you wish.
| You leave your money upon the
stand and go off. Often no one watches
you. Would the newsdealer thus leave
| his stand If he had not learned by ex-
perience that most people are honest?
Taking this premise then for
granted, / shall boldly present to you
a bill which / know you will try to pay.
1t is from my Lord and Master. 1t is
a statement of the debt which every
man, woman and child, to more or less
extent, owes to God. 1 do not demand
payment of it, for it is greater than
you could ever pay, though you lived
on earth a thousand years. and worked
as hard as you could: but 1 want you
to feel your obligations, and to resolve
that you will do all that is in your
power to show your gratitude to your
Heavenly Father for all the mercies
and comforts with which he has sur
rounded you during your life. There
| fore, what you are to do, you must
start to do right away, and in order to
do it you must serve Christ from now
on with your whole heart"

but we maintain that it is not neces-
sary for any church of Jesus Christ TO
have the countenance of the age Ill
order to live. The countenance of the
age is thing that kills rather than
uuickens the church and robs her OF
her true life and changes the church
into nothing more than club and lodge
life.

it called? A saint-it was a sinner.

REFUSES MANSFlELD'S
MOST ALLURING OFFER
GEORGE W. sARNuM PREFERS TO
REMAIN
Great Actor Tries to Get Director Of
Belasoo Stage to Accompany Him
on Tour, but Los Angeles Favorlte
Declines the Honor

one Of Richard Mansfield's regrets
and perhaps the most poignant one
upon leaving Los Angeles early yes
terday morning was the fact that
George w. Barnum, the efficient and
popular stage director of the Belasco
Theater Stock company. had refused a
most fattering offer to join the Mans
field company in the capacity OF gen.
eral stage manager.
The offer was the direct result OF
little speech Mr.. Barnum made at a
dinner given in honor of Mr.. Mansfield
at the California club Friday night
after the performance of the Merchant
of Venice" John j. Byrne, the general
passenger agent of the Santa Fe, oc-
cupied the chair of honor alongside OF
Mansfield and during a modest little
address in introducing the great actor
to the twenty guests, he made mention
of the fact that the great actors of the
day were becoming alarmingly Few IN
number. Mr.. Barnum took this idea
as his theme and said such nice things
about Mr.. Mansfield, his early strug-
giles, his ultimate artistic achievements
and the fact that all actors look up to
Mansfield as their ideal, that even
Mansfield was moved to bushes
something that he tuter admitted he
had not done for ever and ever so many
years.
Barnums eloquence was so alto
gether out of the ordinary sort gener-
ally indulged in by the average
Thespian-Barnum never once re-
ferred to himself during his entire
talk-that Mansfield was deeply inn
pressed with the Belasco stage direc-
tors mental equipment. After the
dinner he told several of the guests
that he would like nothing better in
the world for Christmas present
than to have Barnum join his organi-
zation as stage manager.
Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Greet, Mr.
Mansfield's secretary sought Mr..
Iiarnum and made him a most alluring
offer to leave Los Angeles, but the
prospect of enjoying such conf
dental relationship with even the
great Mansfield did not let Barnum
forget The fact that the Mansfield
company must of necessity be con-
stantly on the move and that after all.
a permanent position in such a delight
ful garden spot as Los Angeles is worth
far more than trekking the country with
the greatest actor of his day, so Bar
mum will continue to give his delight
fully clever characterizations and re-
veal his genius for masterful stage
pictures at the Belasco for an indefi-
mite period

THINKS SHE WAS BORN
UNDER A LUCKY STAR
MISS DOROTHY TENNANT TELLS
OF PERIL
Train on Southern Road Breaks in
Two and Car Bearing "The College
Widow" Company Is Hurled Against
Embankment-AIl Escape Injury

Several of my friends have tried to

star, but / never quite believed it until
a short time ago, when flying over a
bad track in Alabama at the rate of
siXty-five miles an hour, our train was

Dorothy Tenant, who plays the title
role in 1.-THE College Widow"
"The Associated Press dismissed the
accident with a dozen lines yet an
officer of the road told me that it was
the most miraculous escape from a
revolving fatality he had heard of in
all his experience. And he repeated
what friends have so often remarked
about that lucky star. And 1 believed
him.

was unusually heavy, it being a regu-
lar, to which our four cars were at
tached. We were running an hour late
and very rapidly, when suddenly we
left the track and were hurled upon
an embankment at the right. The
bank was soft red Alabama clay and
it was just about like being tossed
forcefully into "A feather bed. When
we contemplated afterwards that the
bank at the right was Of solid rock, you
can imagine our feeling of thankful

AS soon as we could collect our
thoughts, we bethought ourselves of

FOUR RUSSIANS BEAT A BOY
All Are Men Over Six Feet Tall, While
Their Victim Is Small

Four Russians, it was alleged by
Patrolman Pautz, tried to start a race
war yesterday by giving an unmerciful
drubbing to an American boy. Three
of them, named Evan Makshanoff,
Arrow Makshanoff and Ivey Petrovitz-
key, held the boy, Herbert Allison,
while another of the group named
Evan Agakoff, beat him nearly to
death.
All four of the subjects Of the czar
are men over six feet tall and the boy
Allison, appeared like a pigmy be-
side them.
No provocation was shown and the
four men seemingly beat the lad to
give their sporting spirit an oppor-
tunity or TO show their independence.
All of them were booked for assault
and will be up before one of the police

OBJECTS TO COMPROMISE
IN RELIGIOUS WORLD
SAYS CoUNTENANCE OF THE AGE
WILL DESTROY CHURCH
Pastor SmaIe Tells Hearers They Must
Stand by Old Beliefs-Sees NO
Necessity for Institution to Adapt
Itself to the Times

At Burbank hall yesterday Pastor
Joseph Smale spoke on 1.-THE Fragrant
Life from the text: Awake, o north
wind, and come thou south; blow upon
my garden, that the spices thereof may
flow out" He said in part:
"As people of the Lord, Individually
and collectively, we are a garden and
the smell of the garden trust is as a
field that the Lord hath blessed. We
are garden walled around; chosen and
made peculiar ground. To ascribe the
element miraculous to the organization
here will not, am sure, to many seem
tC be too great an assumption. For
many years we have been hearing the
plea for compromise in the religious
world.
1--WE have been told that religion
must adapt itself to the times; that
people are not to be expected to live
as did their fathers; that the church
must yield to the world; that it must
smile where once it frowned; that in
Hexibility must become fiexibility; that
its teaching are to be moral philosophy
rather than spiritual regeneration, and
to refuse this adaptation the church of
Jesus Christ has been threatened with
all manner of ills! 1t will not be
peculiar Institution. 1t will not have
the people. 1t will lose the young folks.
II will be as if dead, but what are the
facts where the world has wooed and
won the church?
THE chuch has ceased to bless the
world The world remains in it's sins.
The people. young and old, are given a
religion with God left out. Better
people had no religion than a religion
with God left out, for he who has no
religion confesses to no hope, but the
man who has a religion. however false
and misleading it may be, thinks that
he has secured the hereafter Of life.
Such state of things ought to give
rise to few questions. II true religion
must have God in it, then what is the
use of a religion without God. What
Is going to come of all the unbelief to-
ward the truth and the laxity in morals

sweep away the lies, and in doing so
remember it will leave the soul naked
and exposed to the storm of divine
wrath. For everything you believe and
for everything for which you stand see
to it, that you have Thus saith the
