SHOWS DANGER or NEGLECT
Rev. Baker P. Lee Sounds Warning
In Stirring Sermon-Asks Un-
ansMerahle Question

"I have a question to ask you this
morning, which I think not one OF you
can answer. / do not believe an angel
from heaven or a devil from hell can
answer it," said Rev. Baker p. Lee
in his sermon delivered yesterday morn
ing at Christ Episcopal church. on
How shall we escape If we neglect so
great a salvation" He preached an
eloquent sermon on the evils of negli-
gence, saying in part:
This question should startle every
man and woman who has not accepted
Jesus Christ. 1 wish 1 could burn 1T into
your very minds.
1--WE are so careful about little things
the selection of a new gown or hat,
yet to the main question we often treat
with an indifference that amounts to
neglect.
1.-THE law of retribution moves along
the paths of the centuries and looks
down on us and there is no answer as 1t
sweeps along.
1--WE are not looking at religion in a
natural way. We make of it gar
ment to be put on Sundays and to
take home and hang up. If you neglect
your conscience it will become so elas-
tic it will do anything in the world
you want it to do. Neglect caused the
explosion of the Bennington. Any OF
those men would have given their lives
for each other, but it was simply ne
glect that did it. So 1t Is everywhere.
do you know what neglect means
You need not be immoral, drunkard
or a libertine. If morality could save
it would not have been necessary for
Christ to die. God so loved the world.
He loved it so much that he couldn t
love it any more and gave his only son
to die for us.
What is salvation? Some seem to
look at it lightly. If humanity has be-
lieved 1t for 1900 years, it is worthy
your serious consideration.
Neglect is a law Of habit. Are you to
escape by your wealth or your friends
over there? When the great Judgment
day comes, each individual will be
alone, face to face with his God and
his Judge. If we believe in personal
God, then why not a personal Christ
and a personal friend and savior?
1.-THE church does not say, Thou
shalt do this and Thou shalt not do
that 1t does not add single com
mandment to the ten given us by God.
We are ever in the neighborhood OF
the inevitable death. 1t is not what
you have done, my brethren, but what
YOU have left undone."

NEW EXCHANGE A SUCCESS
Sunset Officials Say Affairs at South
Office Are Running Without
Hitch

The chief operator at the new south
office of the Sunset Telephone company,
which was opened at IL o'clock on
Saturday evening, said last night that
affairs were running with the greatest
smoothness even beyond the expecta-
tions of the management.
The office, which has but recently
been completed, at the corner of San
Pedro and Jefferson streets, was
erected as a central station in addi-
tion to the main office, because of the
increase in the number OF phones
which have been installed within the
last few months.
All Sunset telephone numbers of the
new south district, within the territory
bounded on the north by Sixteenth
street, by Grand avenue on the west
and extending to the city limits on the
south, have been changed, the new
numbers being marked in the late books
issued by the company.
The south office is fitted with every
appliance of the main station, includ-
ing long distance booths and luncheon
rooms for the operators.

actresses cannot lead rational and
healthy lives. They are mistaken. Many
actresses perhaps do not, but that is
not because they cannot, and if the
same women were engaged in any other
business their lives no doubt would be
just as irrational. I try to lead a regu-
lar, healthy existence, and 1 think I
succeed. I make 1t rule to rise early
and to take an hours exercise-calis-
themes, you know. Then I receive my
friends or 1 call on them, or 1 shop, or
I read and study just like other women
do If there are rehearsals I must at
tend them and of course 1 must be at
the theater in the evening. I have
friends who are in other professions,
and so far as can see my way of liv-
ing differs very little from theirs"

SELECTS SUPREME TEXT
Rabbi Myers Talks of Unity and
Brotherhood of All Man.
kind

In the Olive street synagogue yester-
day morning Rabbi Isadore Myers
preached. He said in part:
when a question once arose as to
which was the most important verse
in the Pentatiuch, Rabbi A. Kibber, one
of the greatest of the ancient Jewish
sages quoted the golden rule Thou
shalt love thy fellowmen as thyself.
But his colleague Ben Azzai said that
there was more important passage
pointing to the fifth chapter of Gen
esis ON the day that God created
man he made him to the likeness of
Cod This verse teaches at once the
unity and brotherhood of all men and
the dignity and grandeur of mans
divine nature.
Man says the Talmud, was Gre
ated one, single to establish ones com
mon origin with the whole human race,
that perfect harmony might prevail
among all mankind; that none should
say to his neighbor: L come from a
better stock than you"
After the sermon Rabbi Myers ad-
dressed the newly elected officers of
the congregation adjuring them to
realize their sacred responsibilities and
to prove by the faithful discharge Of
their respective duties.

numbers were we'll received and Chiaf-

times the drums were somewhat too

The soloist of the evening was Signor

Signor de Bona Is a most versatile
artist on his chosen instrument. Pos

passages, never mechanical and dry in
his more subtle and pianissimo effects
he always charms his auditors with the

The original composition, "The In

it being composed by him while living

SAYS STAGE IS
MORAL EDUCATOR
MISS ROBSON TALKS OF HER
PROFESSION
Actress Who Has Made Success on
Two Continents Believes Theater
Is Excellent School for
Great Public

Miss Eleanor Robson, who opens a
weeks engagement at the Mason opera
house this evening in Merely Mary
Ann" is one of the most enthusiastic
champions of her chosen profession IN
the world, and yet her life is as normal
and simple as the existence OF 1ar-
mer's daughter. 1t Is difficult to say
inst what one expects to find IN an
actress famous in two continents. but
domesticity is what most would not eX-
pect. She believes heartily in her pro
fession, though. and loves to talk OIL
it and it's effect on the people.
"Acting is a profession" she says.
"Why not? There was once time, L
know, and it has not been SO many
years either, when acting was the only
business open to a woman VINO dld
not wish to stand behind counter or
do general housework. 1t is different
now. All professions and callings are
being followed and successfully fol-
lowed by women. The standard of ed
1cation for women has been raised
and the stage has been benehted' as
we'll as everything else.
"I presume many young women be-
come actresses because they are
ge-struck'-whatever that express
sion may mean-but there are a great
many, 1 am sure, who go on the stage
with the fixed intention of making 1t
their life work, and who follow their
profession with as intelligent purpose
as if they had become doctors or law
yers or teachers.

Theaters Are Educators

eft is a great profession, 100 In
some of the European countries, Where
the theaters are endowed, they are
looked upon as educational institutions,
and that is what they, ought TO De IN
this country, and will be, too, some
day. I have no doubt. The better class
are that today. Where, for instance,
can YOU find better schools of deport-
ment than in the theaters where really
high class dramas are presented in the
Way that they ought to be presented?
The young woman or the young man
who goes frequently to see really good
plays cannot fail to have better man
ners than those who never or seldom
attend the theater.
"They will learn there, too, the cor
rect way to dress on any given oc-
casions, and the accepted pronunciation
of words. OF course, they don't go
to the theater to learn those things.
They probably go to be amused, but
they are learnings unconsciously at the
same time.
"Morals also are taught on the stage.
Even the melodrama, in which virtue
Is always triumphant, and the villain,
no matter how polished he may be-,
never fails to be thwarted, teaches a
wholesome moral lesson.
Life Not an Easy One
But the young woman who becomes
an actress must not imagine that she
is to have an easy time of it. She
would not have an easy time of 1t If
she became a doctor or lawyer or a
teacher. and she must expect nothing
better on the stage She must travel,
and not always in the most comfortable
way, and whether she feels just like it
or not. She must study, too, and study
hard. And she must play her role
night after night, even If she would
rather rest. There are lots of hardships
she must undergo, and she must get
what comfort she can out of the thought
that there would have been hardships
equally great. If different in kind, in
any other profession she might have
chosen.

THE increasing stage of water in the
great lakes is most interesting" said
Henry j. Cox of the weather bureau. aOne
is usually inclined TO look to the Increased
rain and snow fall for the cause of such
phenomenon, but the records of the
weather bureau do not substantlate this
theory.
THE only year In which the precipita-
tioD in the lower lakes was above the
average was in 1895. when there was a
slight excess, while in 1898 Il was equal to
the annual average, During the winter
of 10000 the snowfall was excessive. vet
tie precipitation did not reach the aver
age, although the snowfall went a great
way toward making up the deficiency.
The rainfall in the last three years has
been heavier than usual, and recent sum-
mers have been humid and cool which
has prevented the normal amount OF
evaporation
while this has had effect upon the
stage of water it cannot account for the
steady increase in the height of water for
ten years. and the clean rise of foot
last year Is beyond such an explanation.
