PASADENA Jan. 29.-One Of the
largest audiences ever seen in the
First Christian church of this city
gathered this morning to listen to the
farewell sermon of the beloved pastor,
Rev. Frank NJ Dowling, who has been
granted a years leave of absence on
account of failing health. For several
years Mr.. Bowling has been called
upon for commencement addresses,
after-dinner speeches and religious ad-
dresses without number all over South
ern California, and with his heavy
church work the burden became too
great, and a much needed rest of a
year must be taken before Mr.. Dowl-
ing will again take up active work
At the morning service Rev. Mr..
Dowling's theme was "If then ye are
risen with Christ, speak the words that
are of him." from which text he de-
veloped strong, ringing appeal for
practical, everyday Christianity. Incl
dentally, the fact that he was to leave
the church for a prolonged period of
rest was mentioned, but only to en-
phasize his hopes and plans for the
highest growth and development of
the church. Both at the morning and
evening services there was especial
music prepared for the occasion, Miss
Violet Clark arranging for the singing
of a number of hymns and anthems
which are favorites of the pastor.
1t had been expected that Rev. Frank
Walker, who has preached a number
of times at the church, would be able
to fill the pulpit until next winter, but it
now seems that he, with his wife, who
is here with him, must return to Chau
tauqua, N. Y, in June, and as yet
no other supply has been engaged. The
matter of moving the church to some
other location and OF enlarging it is
yet undecided.
Treasurer's Bond Raised
Since the recent decision of the coun-
ty grand jury that the city treasurers
should keep under their own super
vision all the funds of the municipality.
with the funds kept in the city hall,
il there be one, there has been more
or less talk about raising the bond of
the city treasurer of Pasadena. This
was done at special meeting on Fri
day, when the bonds were changed
from $4,000 to $125,OOO Under the pres
ent plan all of the city public funds
are now handled in coin, instead of the
old depository system, whereby the
treasurer simply gave warrants upon
I,-,, lie how
the funds had been placed.
OF the $206, ,744. .S9 due Saturday night
at the office of the city treasurer in
city taxes there was but a comparative
ly small balance left unpaid at the
close of hours Saturday. All unpaid
are now delinquent and per cent
penalty is attached.
Rev. Malcolm j. McLeod's New Book
There is considerable interest shown
by Pasadena people in the new volume
just published by Rev. Malcolm James
Mcleod, pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church of this city, the book being
entitled "The Culture of Simplicity"
The volume is the result Of the au-
thors perusal of Wagner's "The Sim
pie Life" yet is in no way similar Many
of the great men of all ages are shown
by Mr.. Mcleod to have gained a high
degree of culture by simplicity of life,
and numerous quotations bear out the
author in his conclusions. Thoreau,
the simple philosopher of Concord and
Lake Walden, especially appeals to
Mr.. Mcleod in his study of the sub
ject, and many strong quotations are
given from his works.
Fined for Shooting Doves
Game Warden E. d. G. Campbell of
Altadena yesterday arrested a man
who gave his name as j. A. Wilson of
Los Angeles for shooting doves out of
season. Wilson was brought down to
Judge Congdon's court and promptly
fined the minimum fine for the offense,
$25. He protested against the fine,
saying that he did not have any
money to speak of with him. That
made no difference to the warden, Mr..
Campbell, who volunteered to go with
him to Los Angeles for the money.
This was done and the money paid.
