service led by Rev William Horace
Day. There were representatives pres
ent from nearly all the churches of
Southern California who had come to-
conference.
Immediately following the prayer SER
vice DR.. Walton gave a short talk, after
which Rev. w f. Biederwolf delivered
the principal address of the morning,
taking as his subject THE Evangelis-
tic Church Conference" and answering
the question, What is the evangelistic
church?"
He said in part: THE eVangelistic
church must De pure in doctrine by
this l mean true to the evangelical
creed. The revival of the next fifty
years must be a revival of doctrine.
The preacher must first take his stand

"LlFE is MISERY, LET
NE DIE" PLEADS GEHA
Turk Who Hunted Down His wire
and Then Took Poison
Courts Death


"Why have you saved my life? l
wanted to die and life is a misery to
me. You would do me favor by let
ing me die" we're the first sentences
of Josefa Geha. the Syrian fruit
merchant, upon recovering conscious
ness at the receiving hospital yesterday
morning.
The mans face was drawn from the
terrible fight against death, following
his draught of strychnine in the Ham
burger store Wednesday night, and
only to the work of the police sur
seons does he owe his life.
When Geha was taken to the hos
pital Wednesday night his life was
despaired of, but following series of
spasms during the night he recovered
consciousness and his first words were
regrets that his attempt at self des-
truction had failed.
He was watched carefully during the
day in order to prevent another at
tempt at suicide.
The misery in Gehas life will be
added to materially within few days
as he was informed of his arrest yes
terday and will be detained In the city
Jail following his recovery from his
illness.
Mrs. Geha has expressed her inten-
tion of prosecuting her husband and a
charge of assault with a deadly weapon
Or assault with intent to kill will be
preferred against him with his wife as
prosecuting witness.

THE LEPRoSY OF SIN
DR.. Elliott Shows How Impurities May
Be Washed Away

DR.. Elliott spoke on the leprosy of sin
at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal
church last night. taking his text from
Matt SO, And Behold There came n
Leper."
The speaker told the story of the
leper who came to Christ to be healed.
He pointed out the vileness of the dis
ease which had taken possession of him
and likened it to the sin which takes
possession of man.
He said:
This man that came to Christ was
impure and he knew he was fit pic
ture of SIM His whole presence was
malodorus, offensive and calculated tC
inspire nothing but loathing. A pic
ture of personal vileness, conscious
vileness, and confessed vileness. He did
not try to cover up his sores and try
to appear as clean as others. He may
not have been worse than other lepers
but that was no comfort to him and so
there he went, calling out the mourn
full cry 'unclean," 'unclean.'
"Then the worst of it all was tho
helpless vileness. There was absolute
ly no hope of cure from any earthly
source. Still he would not willingly
yield to death as long as one possible
chance remained. His very desperate
ness led him to the Savior.
Poor fellow, what heroic courage
he mad. y thousand times more than
you need 10 come to Christ now. He
had to break through the ceremonial
Jaw, and risk stoning.
do you recognize your likeness TO
him, sin has hold of you. You are in
sins grip, vile in thought, word and
deed, but are you consciously so? then
confess it and come to Christ. Help is
nigh.
just as you find in the leper what
you are, so you may find what to do.
Three things in his actios are worthy
of your imitation. He came to Jesus
He worshipped Jesus and he prayed
to Jesus. How short and to the point
his prayer was, right to the point
grounded on a glorious faith, Lord il
thou wilt thou canst make me whole
"What a scene. Here the Master in
all his purity and strength, and there
1.-the leper in all his loathsomeness. Yon-
der the curious crowd speeches at tn;
laudacity- of the repulslve lepcr
Breathless the crowd saw Jesus pu
forth his hand and touch him saying
I will, be thou clean.'"

EXPLAINS UNPARDoNABLE SIN
Evangelist Says Every Man Has Lib
erty of Choice

The Advance Buggy company's build
ing was the scene of another inter-
esting meeting last night when DR..
Walton spoke TO a large audience on
THE objectionable Sin," taking as his
text For if we sin wilfully after that
we have received the knowledge of
the truth, there remaineth no more sac
rifices for sim"
His first assertion was that the great
business of the Holy Ghost in this
world was to present Christ, and every
man had the liberty of choice He
could take what the spirit offered or
he could serve the devil and receive
the wages of death.
He said: mo man ever committed
the objectionable sin who acted on his
concern TO be right with God. 1t is
the man who is willing to drift who is
the man who will not see, and closes his
eyes so long that he becomes blind;
closes his ears until he becomes deaf.
1T is the one who could reason cor
rectly that has so long trampled upon
conviction and defied conscience that
both are swamped by the multitude Of
enemies which surround him. Once he
could feel-now he is past all feeling.
Once he could believe-once he could
repcnt-now he can find no place for
repentance. once Jesus was near
now the spirit no longer strives with
him. Come while there is yet time"

But when you have the spirit of God
you have God himself dwelling with

Hover DER me. Holy Spirit:


The words were sung by three thou
sand Christian men and women who
had knelt in. answer to an invitation
from Rev. Henry Ostrom. First from
the voice of the chorus master, John
F. Hills, came the notes clear and
sweet; they were taken up by the
Eneeling people until the whole audi
torium was filled with the words of
the hymn coming from the depths of
hearts that were filled with thankful
ness.
The scene was most impressive
coming as it did just at the close of
the day, which ministers and evangel-
lists say will be one never to be for
gotten.
1t was the final meeting of the first
day cf the Bible conference. DR.. Os-
from delivered an address on the needs
of the evangelistic church in which he
besought the ministers and the Christ
ians to have more of the spirit of
Christ in their lives and to let more
come into the church.
1.-The problem of our day is not a city
problem but problem of folks, a pea
pies problem. The question with
which we have to deal is the prof.
cheney of the evangelistic church as 4
proper representative of Christ's teach
ings.
Problems of Church
The problem of the church is the
problem Of power.
I'VE need something from the out
side to come within and set US going,
and that something is the Holy Spirit.
What we need is to get into the in
finite power which God has for us and
to let the Holy Spirit dwell within lis.
Let the spirit come into your life and
dwell there and then you will have all
the power.
II cannot define this power,
rs 1 never could define my moth
ers love and [ don't know how
she could command so much. I cam
not discuss the powers that there are
in music and yet l love it, and with
this power l can only say l know what
ii is.
Let US have more of it. We will
pray better, we will amount to more
and the world will be better. We nee1
more OF God. That is what the churcn
needs. Every minister realizes that
there is too much of self and too lit
tie of God in his life. We must cry
out 10 the Holy Spirit.
God has voice that is stronger
than silence. Let US claim according
to the promise of this meeting
DR.. Ostrom asked all those who felt
the need of this spirit in their own
lives to kneel with him and poin "a
silent prayer. For perhaps five min
utes there was not a sound in the big
auditorium and then at a sign from Dr..
Ostrom Mr., Hills sang the first note
Of the hymn.
over and over the refrain was sung
by the throng of kneeling persons.
Fill me now. MI me now.
Holy Spirit, fill me now"
