DELIVERS SERMON
IN NEW ED|F|CE
DR.. THOMSON TALKS OF ROCK
OF AGES
Worshlpers at the New Independent
Church Hear Eloquent Plea for
Firm Foundation Upon Which
to Build Characters

Proud possessors Of the only church of
it's kind are the pastor and members
of the new building of the Independent
Church of Christ situated at Eighteenth
and Figueroa streets. 1t is one of
the finest and best church structures
in Los Angeles and its recent compile
ton, free from debt, are sources of
congratulation heartily extended to the
enterprising pastor and members.
Rev. ]. S. Thomson, the pastor, for
merly held the pastorate of the Church
of the Unity, of which Rev. Burt Estes
Howard is now the pastor. After the close
of his pastorate of that church. Rev.
Mr.. Thomson went abroad and re-
mained two years Soon after his re-
turn, six years ago, many of his old
parishioners and friends decided to es-
tablish an independent church, of which
he has accepted the pastorate. Since
that time the church has had no steady
home until occupying the new building,
recently completed. This structure con-
tains an auditorium 45X73 feet with
excellent acoustic arrangements.
At the service yesterday morning Rev.
Mr.. Thomson took for his topic, Rocks
and Sands" He said in part:
Rock Of Ages Is Secure
1.-THE sayings of Christ upon the
mount, commonly called THE Sermon
on Ine mount, Contain Lne uOCIIlueS
necessary for the foundation of Christ
ian belief and character. Christ him
self showed that these sayings are the
rock of ages and that the character
built upon it is secure. 1t is the alb
solute and infallible foundation for
Christian character. In Luke's report
of the sermon on the mount it is said
that the wise man 'digged dep for the
foundation of his house. 1t is one
thing to approve of and to accept a
formula of faith, or a creed, and it is
another thing to think deeply and to
pray earnestly about a fundamental
article of belief until it becomes an
element in his spiritual consciousness.
To-day we have winds of doctrine,
passing fads, pretentious miracles.
which are the sand on which the fool
ish man attempts to build his char
acter; but the fad passes away, and the
poor believers house falls and becomes
ruins, and he suffers disappointment.
The foundation which Christ gave the
world remains forever. and the char
acter, founded on it, defies and outlives
all the storms and trials and pains
of life. AS the Atlantic steamer ap-
proaches the coast of Ireland, it passes
a rock, rising up out of the sea. Thou
sands of ships have passed it day and
night for centuries; but the rock re-
mains. Rains, winds and waves have
smitten it. 1t has been covered with
the white foam of angry storms.
Christ's sermon on the mount is like
that rock in strength and permanence.
Thinking of this, Paul, the mighty ora
tor, burst out in the noble words
other foundation can no man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ"

Miss Reifsnyder was unconscious
and my strength was fast ebbing when
two brothers named Cook put out to us
in a rowboat from their yacht. They
lifted both of us into the rowboat and
took us out to the yacht we had left,
just as Capt. Burgess was starting to
our aid in another boat. Miss Reif-
snyder was revived and insisted on
calling me her rescuer, and that's how
got all this fame thrust upon me-"
Miss Reifsnyder told the same story
yesterday, but gave Miss Titus far
more credit for bravery than the girl
gave herself.

WICHITA. Kas., Oct. 29.-The Gaskell

sidewalk on Water street. Harry Often

conpanied by a number of other chill

The numerous and complicated

ton seed oil mills in the state, were
stopped last Saturday, having
completed the seasons operations.
This vast enterprise, one of our
most valuable industries has been
running day and night since the
first days of September, running
night and day crews, had in their
employ, large force of men, and
pay roll amounting to over three
thousand dollars per month. The
closing of this large mill for the
summer will leave a large force of
men idle until they can procure
employment elsewhere for the

The people of st. Martiuville
took a great deal of interest in the
municipal contest of New Iberia
which was decided Monday in fa-
vor of the Laughlin ticket. The
municipal campaign was looked
supou as a fight between Congress-
man II. L. Broussard and the
Burke-Henderson faction, and
those of our people who are ad-
mirers and supporters OF Brous-
sard, sympathized with the ticket
he was supporting, and his oppo-
nents gave their sympathies to the
Dupuy ticket. To us it looked
like fight of an oppressed people
against ring rule and bosa power,
if we are to Judge by all the re-
ports that were current during the
campaign.
