TELLS OF APOSTLES VISION
Rev. w. D. Landis Gives Vivid De-
scripton in Sermon at Westlake
presbvterian Church

The Living Lord" was the topic Of
the sermon preached by Rev. w. ID
Lands. pastor Of the Westlake Pres
byterian church, at the morning service
yesterday. He spoke of the vision OF
John q \ the Isle of Patmos, and said
in part
Here Jesus Christ appeared to John
the beloved disciple, as the mediator
He was the son of man, partaker Of the
human nature Of John and could SYM
pathize with him in all his persecution
and banshment. But this same hu-
manity was also divine, for he says he
is first and last, Alpha and Omega.
LAS man, he had head, hair, hands,
voice and feet. AS God, he was clothed
with golden girdle of love. His eyes
were as penetrating as flame of fire;
truth as piercing as a two-edged sword
proceeded out of his mouth, while his
voice was as tender and sweet as the
anthem of ripping waters.
What could John do but fall at his
feet? This is where all men who really
see the Christ find themselves. But the
right hand that poised the seven stars
in the vision is at once extended to lift
up the discouraged and hopeless dis
ciple. 1t is surprisingly beautiful that
he, who thus has all power never fails
of sympathy with the downcast and
downhearted.
He could not be held by death. but
came forth from the grave conqueror.
lie showed that those who were iden-
titled with him would be alike victor1-
Gus. Death to the child of God Is
robbed of it's power and the grave has
lost it's gloom, for there is shining into
the farther side of the tomb the
radiance Of the resurrected Lord.
HE laughs in the face of death and
says he has the keys to the kingdom in
his girdle When he ascended to glory
he led captivity captive and gave gifts
unto men. When the angels greeted
him with their welcome home he was
followed by a retinue of captive evil
doers, the world, death, hades, the
grave and the devil. He is today the
supreme in authority, which will one
day be recoGnized.' Before this Christ
we should be glad to PROSTATE our
selves and lay our trophies at his feet,
and crown him Lord of all

SAYS ASCOT is A MENACE
Rev. Robert Fisher Tells of Evils OF
the Park in Prelude to His
Sermon

"Ascot Park" was the topic of a
short prelude last evening by Rev.
Robert Fisher, pastor of st. James
Methodist church, prefacing his even
ing sermon Rev. Mr.. Fisher said:
ascot park Is a menace to Los An
geles in every way, and is also a
deadly menace to men who gamble
there and do dishonest things under
its influence, and consequently all
business suffers.
Ascot park is deIoauching to wo-
men, who lose their heads and are led
astray 1t is especially so for the boys
and girls whose habits are not yet
formed. They bet whether allowed to
attend or not. Henry Ward Beecher
said that breeding good horses might
be good thing, but rather expensive
when it costs the characters of men
and women.
Five men in Los Angeles have the
keeping of Ascot park under their
wing---the five supervisors. Not all
these are in favor of it, but the ma
iority are. otherwise it would be abol-
iShed in an hour.
Some corporations seem to be more
anxious to ring up the five cents Of
the people who go to the park than
TO think of the good of the city or the
upEuilding of manhood"

DON'T LIKE SPEED INDICATORS

Special to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9.-Speed in
dicators which have been tried on some
of the railroads to let passengers see
how fast they are going do not seem
to be popular and have pretty gener-
ally been given up. They were, indeed
never more than an experiment.
There's such n thing as feeling that
you are going too fast when you see
it marked out before your eyes" says
a travelling man whose business takes
him west frequently. "The last and,
indeed, the first and only time 1 ever
saw a speed indicator was on a train
between here and Chicago. None of
the passengers noticed it at first and
felt perfectly contented in realizing
that they were being hurled along at n
pretty lively clip. BY the time I saw
it several other people had seen it,
too, and it was the sort of thing that
we couldn't help watching.
Whenever it showed above forty
miles an hour I got to thinking just
how fast that was and / slowly ac-
cumulated case of nerves. Once we
reared the sixty mile an hour mark.
and it made us all turn pale. ] shook
my terror by going into the smoking
car, where there was no Indicator. How
the frightened women managed to

anv since.
IT'S all right to be told on the time
table that You are going fast, but
when it comes to having it demons
trated before your eyes you don't like
1T. Speed indicators may be all right
on locomotives and the private cars
of railroad officials, but the general
public can get along without them"

MELODRAMA IS
WELL RECEIVED
LOVE SCENES AND KILLINGS
ARE POPULAR
"ln South csr'lney" PIeases Audience
at Burbank-EnthusIasm Runs
High and Many Curtain
Calls Are Given

Love triumphant in the face OF such
ulttlculties as a deadly southern feud,
an attempted murder and a lost mar
riage certificate is the story Of an
South Car'liney" which opened at the
Bun bank yesterday afternoon.
The sticky llypaper of commerce
played an important comedy part, and
fine large bonfire built under Henry
Stockbridge as Bill Buffins. a derelict,
also contributed to the merriment of
the house
The scent of the play Is laid, as the
title would indicate, in South Carolina,
and Helrs Acre is the particular To-
cality in which the acticn occurs.
a freak druggist, who makes mis-
takes calculated to boom the business
of his brother-in-law, is portrayed by
Bennett Southard, and while no great
height of histrionic achievement is
reached the possibilities of the part
are fully realized and the lazy, shift
less Cracker" is faithfully shown.
In many spots the melodramaticisms
overcome the players to the extent
that they declalm the words incident
to the parts with rather more vigor
than is wholly compatible with good
taste.
Give Many Curtain Calls
But the enthusiasm with which ev-
erything is done, from a duel to the
death, which, by the way gives Des-
mond an admirable opportunity to
exercise his well-known talent for
falling into a fetching pose. to the
song, "The Homlest Girl in Harlem"
sung with great eclat by Henry
Stockbridge.
The clntele of the Burbank theater
is more enthusiastic than in any other
house In town, and curtain calls pos
itively innumerable were given the
favorites.
Blanche Hall does as well as she al
ways does, which is saying much. Her
Interpretation of Leila, daughter Of
the choleric and naughty Maj. Sniff
fens, rang true, and the interpreta-
tion was full of dignity and grace.
Henry Stockbridge has his usual
character part this week in the role
of Bill Buffins, derelct, and fun
nier Characterization could hardly be
imagined in that part.
The major, father of Leila, played
by John w. Burton, gave utterance
to one sentiment that deserves to be
perpetuated. He said: There are
two things that we can raise in the
south. One of ems hell and the other
is children

from Heney's grasp and would
have shot him with his own six
shooter had not those who rushed
up interfered.
Handy died that night and
group of his friends formed a mob
which Sc out to string Heney up.
The latter had not been arrested,
but learned that his life was in dan
ger and gave himself up to the au-
thorities. L. c. Hughes, later the
governor of the territory, succeeded
in quieting the mob by promising
that justice would be done. AL
though friend of Handy's he testi-
fled at the hearing of Heney that
the dead man had threatened his
slayer's life, dozen other wit
nesses testified to the same thing
and 1t was found that the killing
had been done in self defense.
When Hughes was appointed
governor of the territory, he named
Heney attorney general and the
latter proved vigorous public Off
cial. After two years Of admins
tration, Heney became identified
with a faction of the party which
was opposing some of the govern
or's acts and Heney was not reap
pointed. Heney led bitter fight
at Washington which resulted in
the removal of Hughes.
A short time afterwards he
moved to San Francisco, closing
his Arizona career, but there is not

not remember Frank Heney, and
who is not watching his prosecution

Heney started out on a brilliant
career and soon became one of the
leading lawyers in southern Ari-

Handy and Heney were never
friends, but the breach between
them became alarming when the
latter undertook to get divorce
for the formers wife. Handy had
threatened the lives of three other
prominent lawyers in the territory
who dared to take the case and
who, one by one, knowing his repu-
tation, withdrew. But Heney,
though warned by his friends. paid
no attention to Handy's threats
and the townspeople knew that
when the two men met one of them
would die. While the divorce pro
ceedings were pending, Handy kept
his wife chained up in the house
and none save Heney dared dispute
his right to do so. In the end
Heney secured the decree. Handy
declared that he would kill Heney
on sight and Heney announced that
he would die fighting. For several
weeks the town looked for the kill.
