KNOWLEDGE FROM STIFFNESS.
BY Rev Frank CorneH

Text-"Be still and know that 1 am
God. Psalm 46:10.
1t is by quiet soul communion that
we know what manner of men we
are" How easy we are deceived"
The world tiatters us and we, measur-
ing ourselves by ourselves, imagine we
are Of great consequence. We look
upon some achievement, some little
success, and In the pride of our heart
we feel like Nebuchadnezzar when he
beheld the magnifcance of the royal
city and exclaimed, ''Is not this great
Babylon, that l have built the house
of the kingdom by the might of my
power, and for the honor of my ma
jesty?" But few months away from
the haunts of man and the activities
of court life so restored the reason
of this success intoxicated king that
he saw himself in a far different light.
The loneliness of the mountain and
quietness of the field now led him to
say, "And at the end Of the days L,
Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes
unto heaven, and mine understanding
returned unto me, and l blessed the
Most High, and l praised and honored
Him that liveth forever, whose domin-
ion is an ever lasting dominion, and
His Kingdom is from generation to
generation"
Oh business man, distracted by fall
ure, or intoxicated by success, away
to mountain, lake and stream. Go not
to the fashionable summer resort,
where the melodies of nature are mar
red by the music Of men, but go ra ther
where some primeval forest murmurs
perpetual praise. Where some quiet
lake, nestled among the mountains re.
fleets the image Of the Divine Find
some spot, hemmed in by granite rocks,
that have never echoed discordant
note, and In the great audience cham
Der of God get knowledge self knowl-
edge that will make thee feel weak
at first until thou dost remember that
man was made ruler over all the
earth, and that he Is a child of the
Divine Father. And when thou dost
hear natures continual hum of praise
will burst forth in alteration, as did
one of yore, who said, Unto Thee, O
God, do we give thanks, unto Thee dc
we give thanks for that Thy name is
near Thy wondrous works declare"
All, lie down upon the grassy bank
If need be, and in this silent temple
stay, till the stars look down, through
the leafy trees, and from all nature
thou dost catch language not intend
ed for the ear, but for the heart, and
in Gods very presence "Be still and
know"
Thus often waiting before Him thor
shalt be fitted for fuller revela tior
Of His divine power and glory, ant
shalt understand the promise of Goo
through the prophet Joel when he said
"And 1t shall come to pass afterward
that I will pour out Ny spirit upon al
flesh; and your sons and your daugh
ters shall prophesy, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men shall
see visions and also upon the servants
and upon the landmarks in those day.
! will l pour out My spirit"
Beloved, enter into the holy stiffness
and you shall know.

BLINDNESS Of Mankind

The services OF the West Washing
ton district are proving very success
full Rev. Tillman Hobson, the evan.
geist, spoke last evening to largf
congregation on blindness" compar-
ing the blindness of the blind man who
asked the help Of Christ to the blind
ness of mankind today. He said:
"The blind man of the Bible called
to Jesus as he was passing by, but
there are blind men in the world today
who. having eyes, yet do not know the
beauty of the sunset or the landscape
II you should ask them to even describe
their own children the result would be
ludicrous. There is spiritual blindness.
Jesus Christ healed the blind man
for the reason that he asked his as
sistance. If you will acknowledge that
you need Christ's assistance to the
joys of the Christian life he will open
your eyes"
Rev. A. d. Holley, evangelist, will
preach at the service this evening,
which will be held in the Olivet Con-
church. Rev. Mr.. Holley
will also speak at the service Sunday

vided for under a section of the code
Upon learning of the action taken by
his "par' Carrier insisted upon plead
ing guilty" to the charge against him.
1t had been communicated to the
court that Carriers attorneys would
ask the court to allow their client to-
go on probation and to avoid taking
up unnecessary time.
According to the attorneys statement,
Carrier came to Los Angeles about two
years ago from Perry, Oklahoma.
In mitigation of the crime, the at
torney asserted that the holdup was
the result of drunken spree in which
all of the men participated.
Carrier was sentenced to serve seven
years in the penitentiary at San Quen-
tin, while Pierce will be allowed to go
free.

ONE WAY TO SALVATION
Rev. Mr.. Walton breaches on "The
Great Name"

An evangelist who has been meet
ing with unusual success is Rev. r. A.
Walton, who speaks every night at the
Advance Buggy company's building to
an audience which crowds the house
The speaker is an attractive man, full
of enthusiasm, and he has a gift of inn
parting some of it to his hearers. He
is assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. Pugh and
their little daughter Gladys.
THE Great Name" was the subject
of DIR. Walton's sermon last night
Jesus, the sweetest name on mortal
tongue, the sweetest carol ever sung;
Jesus, blessed Jesus"
This name the speaker declared was
the fulfillment of the prophecy the
great purpose of God in all the ages.
The sermon traced the thought of
the one way to salvation.
Christ was the only one in the uni
verse found worthy to undertake the
work of salvation, and he is now the
only one who owns the right to bring
sinners into glory. The one question
of all in this world today is the ques-
tion Of salvation.
The honor of God is wrapped up in
his obligation TO punish sin for the
satisfaction Of the broken law. When
Jesus died and purchased salvation it
was then specially declared that
through him the sins of man are for
given.
THE name of Jesus admits the
worlds worst sinner into Gods king
dom.
by believing in his name-only that
What a simple way.
1.-The richest man in the government
can make the poorest as rich by simply
allowing the use of his name"
The speaker pointed out that in the
commercial world the resources of the
rich man would become exhausted, but
that the resources Of Christ were limit
less.
The honor that his death paid to
the law is now enough for the needs Of
all mankind. He is able to do exceed
ingly, abundantly above all we can ask.
The wisdom of man or of God could
not have devised simpler plan.
THE one great name. Jesus, the
sweetest name on mortal tongue, the
sweetest carol ever sung; Jesus,
blessed Jesus"

DR.. Chapmans subject was Judas
Iscariot, and he said in part:
"And Judas Iscariot." Mark 3:19.
There is something about the name
of this miserable man which rivets our
attention at once. There is a sort Of
fascination about his wickedness, and
when we begin his story it is difficult
to give it up until we have come to it's
awful end. 1t is rather significant, it
would seem to me, that his name should
come last in the list of the apostles, and
the text, And Judas Iscariot, would
suggest to me not only that his name
was last but that 1t was there for some
special reason, as / am sure we shall
find il was.
THE natural question that comes to
every student of the life of Judas must
be. Why was he chosen? but as
Joseph Parker said We may well ask
why are we chosen ourselves, know
ing our hearts as we do and appreciat-
ing our weakness as we must" 1t has
been said by Joseph Parker that if we
study the apostles we will find them
representing all kinds of human nature,
which would go to show that If we but
yield ourselves to God, whatever we
may be naturally, he can use us for his
glory. 1t was here that Judas failed.
Il have heard it said that Jesus did
not know his real character and that he
was surprised when he turned out to
be the disciple that he was, but let
none of us have this spirit in the con-
sideration of Jesus Christ. Let no man
i'm these days limit his knowledge for
he is omniscient and knoweth all
things
However much of a warming he may
serve to the people of the world l am /,
fully persuaded that there are four
things which may be said concerning
him"

HUNDREDS GRADUATE
FROM GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
Largest Number of Pupils in History
of Los Angeles Prepared to
Enter HIGH School

-Four hundred and forty-eight pupils
of the eighth grades of the Los An
geles public schools have successfully
passed examinations which permit en-
trance into the high school, and Super
intendent Foshay signed diplomas yes
terday until his fingers were cramped.
This is the largest number that has
ever graduated at the end of the WIN
ter term, and of the AS pupils, it is
expected that 300 will continue their
work in the high school,
Yesterday graduation exercises were
held in many of the thirty-seven ward
schools. Others will hold exercises to-
day
At the Second street school the ex-
ercises took on a general character in
which all the grades and departments
of the school were represented. The
annual exhibition was moved ahead
some months and took place yesterday
instead of early in June as has been
the custom heretofore.
C. c. Davis, Emett Wilson, j. NJ.
Guin of the board of education, Super
intendent Foshay and others took
luncheon at the school building. The
young women of the cooking depart
ment We're the hostesses and had in
charge the preparation and serving Of
the menu. Following this the visitors
were shown the various displays Of
student handiwork.
The exhibition consisted of examples
of sloyd work, comprising over 500
pieces, drawings, literary note books
illustrated, specimens of writing and
examples of what is being done along
all the other branches of the school
work.
Members of the school board and
Superintendent Foshay after their in
spectlon gave it as their opinion that
the exhibit was one of the finest eff
it's kind ever seen in Los Angeles and

hibitors.

"GoD'S WAY OF PEACE"
What the Sinner Must Do to Be Con-
Verted

The enthusiasm and interest steadily
deepens in the fifth district, where Dr.
j. H. Elliott speaks and Mr.. Rykert
sings. Rain or shine the house is well
filed.
Last night DR.. Elliott spoke on Goods
Way of Peace" from Acts, 3:19. Re
pent we therefore and be converted"
Among other things he said. "How
self-conceit pride and prejudice blinds
the eyes and clouds the mind to Gods
way of salvation. One says, If l do
the best can will come out all right
No, not of necessity. Your best may
lead you the faster and the farther
astray if you are not doing the right
thing.
Another says, But if 1 am in earn
est it will be all right No, not simply
because you are in earnest. If you are
headed the wrong way your earnest
ness will only lead you the faster and
farther astray
THE statement of the text is clear
and explicit, 1t points out three
things. First, what the sinner must
do; second, what God will do. and
third, the result consequent thereon.
THE sinner must repent. This does
not mean sorrow or remorse alone, but
it does mean such a turning away
from sin as will mean forsaking it and
breaking with the wrong for all time
God will convert. The expression
seems to denote outside help. A touch
of power outside of ourselves. In one
of the great steel manufactures they
were testing new and secret chemical
method for making steel. Asking for
a description of 1t one of the workmen
said, In that building they have a
huge retort called converter and into
it was put the crude iron ore and then
by the secret chemical process 1t is
changed into steel, and so when the
soul is yielded to God he changes this
crude material we offer to him into the
shining steel Of the kingdom by that
secret process known only to heaven. 4"

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; 1t ruins child's disposi-
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she Is entirely nnfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. 1.-the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound (;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

RAIN GENERAL THROUGH
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

According to Forecaster Franklin
more rain is coming toward Southern
California. The low area has spread
over Nevada and extends so far south
the bureau predicts rain down the coast
as far as the Mexican line.
Rain ceased falling about daylight
yesterday morning, but not until the
gauge showed a precipitation of /. 80
inches for Los Angeles and vicinity.
Just before midnight the storm reached
it's height and for half an hour the
water came down in torrents, flooding
the streets and doing considerable
damage to the thoroughfares in the
hilly section of the city.
Like most of the storms of this year
the rain fell steadily, but for the most
part gently, thus doing great good to
crops without the damage which always
accompanies a deluge.
All of Southern California received a
generous share of the rain and at San
Diego 80 of an inch fell. At San
Louis Obispo 800 was the record.
what has already fallen this season the
result shows n rainfall to date of 7:46
inches. Up to this time last year the
record was 81 inches.
According to the weather bureau
officials the storm just passed came in
from the ocean, striking the coast
just south of the Columbia river and
from that point working south rapidly.
During the rain, and proceeding it
the wind at Los Angeles was southeast
and steady, while the barometer fell
slowly. These are local signs favorable
to rain according to Forecaster Frank
lin.
The weather department has had
southwest storm signals out on the
south coast for two days.
On the street the discussion is as to
whether this rain should be accredited
to Franklin or Hatfield, with Franklin
the favorite, as he saw it first.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
WANTS CENSUS TAKEN
Council Proposes to Join Board Of
Education in Count of City's
Inhabitants

The finance committee of the council
yesterday directed the council clerk to
request the city board of education to
appoint committee to confer with
the finance committee at its meeting
next Thursday. The subject of dis
cussion will be the request of Post
master Flint that the city arrange to
have an official census of the inhabi-
tants of the city taken.
The postoffice is hampered by an in
sufficient number of letter carriers.
The rules of the department require
statement of the number of inhabitants
in the city with his application for an
increase in the force of carriers.
AS Postmaster Flint was unable to
answer the population question cor
rectly, he asked the city to render
assistance in securing a census. The
city in turn asked the board of educa-
tion to co-operateyin making the count.
The board of education annually
takes census of the number of chill
dren of school age in the city, together
with the heads of families. This year
1t is proposed by the council, if the
board of education concurs, to broaden
the scope of the count. All the inhabi-
tants of the city will be counted under
the new plan and the schedules pro-
vlded by the school department will
be arranged to cover the additional
propositions.
