CHARACTER OF FRIENDSHIP
Rev. Hugh X. Walker Reviews Recent
Utterances of Dr. Campbell Morgan
on American Churches

Rev. Hugh K. Walker reviewed in
his sermon yesterday morning the re-
cent criticisms of DIR. Campbell Nor
gan on the American church. He said;
THE chief characteristic of friend
ship is not, as some people seem to
suppose, the inflicting of wounds, but
the principal business of friend is to
heal and soothe rather than to wound
and irritate.
"The statement of the wise man does
not furnish a warrant for that kind of
brutal frankness that consists in ex-
posing the faults and frailties of our
fellow men, and it is really not neces-
sary to prove your friendship in any
such way. Only the man who has
proved his friendship by protracted and
unwearied kindness in word and in deed
is authorized to wound friend, and
then only when clear-sighted love as
sured him that it was absolutely essen
tial to his friends welfare that the
wounds should be inflicted.
"Only the wounds OF such friends
could be counted as faithful. Very few.
persons, indeed, are entitled to tell us
our faults. 1t is natural that we should
feel hurt when our own defects are
pointed out and when our own char
acters are challenged. But a Christian
feels it even more when the church,
which is as dear as the apple of his
eye, is severely criticised. and when
his country is associated in the criti-
cism, both his patriotic and religious
feeling are wounded.
This is what/Dr. Campbell Morgan
has done, when he gave to the press
his famous interview on the eve of

only fair. trim 1t as you think best.
Well he said, run out your tongue
Sympathy turns pulpit dross into
fine gold. There are sober hearers in
every congregation who go to church
just as they go to a store, to get some-
thing they need. Beside them sit 9TH
ers, with itching ears, whose aim is
to be amused or startled. I don't mind
disappointing this class
"There are broken hearts in every
congregation, men who are fighting
crushing mortgages or struggling up
hill against i'll health, or graphing
with a master passion. The minister
wants men of this class to load their
burdens onto his back. The man who
breaches to broken hearts will always
have a congregation.
"There is the helpful hearer, who is
on the lookout to harrow some ground
for the preachers seed He waters it
with tears and cultivates it with his
prayers. But best of all is the doing
hearer. Congregations are generous
with texts and pass them over their
heads to the pews behind them"

HE HOBBIES AWAY
FROM THE HOSPITAL
JOHN COOPER, ON CRUTcHES,
ESCAPES
Inmate of County Institution, Recover
ing From Injuries Received in
Former Attempt, Leaves
Without Permission

After breaking his leg and arm and
sustaining numerous other injuries in
an attempt to escape from the third
floor of the city Jail on a telephone
wire, July 23, John Cooper escaped
Saturday night from the county hos
pital, where he was sent to recuperate.
Although Cooper was barely able to
hobble about on crutches. he slipped
from under the eyes OF the hospital
authorities and cannot be found.
In the early part of the summer
Cooper was arrested on the charge
wife beating. officer King, who made
the arrest, was severely cut by
Cooper. Cooper was given a six
months sentence for the assault on
King and three months sentence for
beating his wife.
1t was while cleaning the temporary
court rooms on the third floor of the
city Jail that Cooper attempted to
escape by sliding down a telephone
wire. When eleven feet from the win
dow sill on the third floor the wire
broke and Cooper fell three stories
to the concrete pavement below.
He was picked up for dead and
carried into the receiving hospital.
where he has since been. Saturday he
was moved from a building to a tent.
and during the night escaped.

DR.. SMITH TALKS OF CHINA
Members of Chinese Mission Greet
Foreign Secretary Of Board
of Missions

Rev. DIR. Judson Smith of Boston, for
of Missions, spoke last evening at the
First Congregational church on the
work of the board. He had nothing
but words of praise for the work ac-
complished and of hope for that Of the
future.
The members of the Chinese mission
of the church attended the service in
a body. Len Gam, in broken English,
gave words of greeting to DR.. Smith
from the mission, and expressed the
Christian nation. In saying this the
little man lost his diff1dence and, mas
tering the English language with diff
ficulty, spoke with fervor which was
q credit to his nationality.
DR.. Smith said in part:
''There is not an intelligent person
in a Christian land that does not ex-
pect that finally the kingdom of Christ
shall be universal. That Is to be our
golden age, hope that lifts UP the
heart and strengthens the sinews for
a more vigorous effort. We expect it
as much as we do the sun to rise to-
morrow morning.
"In China we suffered a tremendous
loss five years ago in the Boxer move
ment. The missions were literally wiped
out. 1t resulted in great loss of life
and a property loss of half million
dollars. But 1t has been five years
since then. We have returned to the
work. Many did not leave and China
has promptly paid the indemnity. The
missions have risen out of their ashes
In North China we have more churches
and 500 more members now than before
the Boxer movement. In the old ages
they said the blood of the martyrs was
the seed of the church. We are now
seeing that"
The following Congregational clergy
men were present and took part in the
service: Revs. ]. H. Mallows, F. S.

was Job 34:3-"The ear trieth
words as the palate tasteth food" He
said in part:
1.-The ear is about as important a
part of the body as 1t is of a stalk of
corn. The preacher likes the SYM

a chance and weighs carefully what
he doesn't agree with. The carping

LEOPOLD is DEMOCRATIC
Eats Fried Potatoes Which Were Re-
jected by Jockey Tod
GIoan

S0ecial to The Herald.
PARIS, Sept. 24.-The following story
has just been told by King Leopold of
the Belgians, the most democratic of
monarchs, to a friend:
IT was dining said his majesty, "in
a Paris restaurant, and noticed at a
table next to me Tod Sloan, the Amer
lean Jockey, whom I had often seen
on the race course. While waiting for
my dinner I saw him taste some fried
potatoes that had been brought him
and tell the waiter angrily to take
them away.
'I was a little annoyed" added the
king, "as 1 had also ordered fried pota-
toes, and when they came up 1 had no
difficulty in discovering that they were
the same the jockey had just refused"
And" asked his friend, you imme-
diately summoned the restaurateur and
had the waiter discharged?"
mo" said the king. "It was true
that they had been cooked with rancid
butter and were very nasty, but ate
them, as thought 1t would injure the
business of the place If 1 sent them
away; which shows" he added, that
a jockey can afford to be more par
ticular than king"

OPPORTUNITY OF YOUNG
WOMEN is IN PRESENT
PASTOR SAYS THEY ARE BETTER
BY NATURE THAN MEN
Rev. w. M. Sterling Dlscourses Upon
Influence She Yields and Asserts
That She Is Responsible for Good
or Bad Use of This Power

"a Young Woman's Opportunity
was the topic of Rev. w. M. Sterling,
pastor of the Boyle Heights Methodist
church, last evening. He took his text
from Mark s:22-23, and said in part:
at was on the kings birthday and
after much feasting his stepdaughter,
Salome, came in and danced before the
father who swore to give her what she
asked, even to the half of his kingdom.
A kingly offer and a great opportunity
for the young woman.
"She could crafty her feminine hearts
desire for jewels and dress in summer
palace by the sea or in the mountains.
She could build a home for the aged
poor or an asylum for orphans, or a
hospital for lepers, and all of these
would have blessed her.
"There was in prison at that time the
greatest man ever born into this world
and death menaced him. She could
secure his liberty and she would have
been canonized in the church. 1t was
a great opportunity. but lost.
"She said, Give me the head of John
the Baptist on a platter and she, whose
name might have come down through
all time wreathed with the fragrance
of kindness and love, comes to us as
a cruel murderess.
There is lesson in this for young
women. You have grand opportunities,
because you are in a sphere wider that
that your mother was.
mot long ago the sphere of a young
woman's activities was just in the
home, but now yours Is in the world.
Not long since young woman was not
found teaching in our public schools
now nearly all of our teachers are
young women.
"They are there because of ability to
fill such places. Once it was thought
she was not the peer of her brother,
but in the school and in the college she
stands abreast, Or little in advance
of her brother.
"The young women have great oppor-
better morally than the young men.
Young women are less prone to evil, not
because they are incapable, but be-
cause they are naturally better.
"They are more easily reached by the
gospel and have keener appreciation
of the love of Christ They possess
kindlier hearts, gentler natures and
grace of form and action.
"The SUMS bright rays through a
burning glass will blister blacken and
kill, though In the sweet air it develops
the rose and paints each petal with
daintiest color.
Young women, you can entice young
men to sin destruction and damnation.
With all your good qualities sanctified
by the grace of Jesus Christ, you can
lead whom you will into all that is pure
and beautiful

LAp,s "FUN" NOT so FUNNY

Turning in fire alarms for fun may
cost Lee Pinyan great deal of trouble
and possibly a heavy fine, the police
say. Last evening Pinyan was passing
along Main street near Motion street,
when the idea struck him that he would
like to turn in an alarm. The fire
engines made a run and so did Pinyan,
but he ran into policeman. The fire
laddies are indignant over these cases.
