DR.. DowIinu Enuaqed

An engagement which is Of primary
interest to Los Angeles society is that
of Rev. George Thomas Bowling to
Miss Mary e. Williams. DR.. Dowline
was formerly pastor of Christ Episco-
pal church and only resigned his posi-
tion there on account of i'll health
Miss Williams was his secretary an6
has been for number of years. A few
months ago, after his resignation from
Christ church, he accepted the pastor
ate Of st. James Episcopal church. New
York, where he has been ever since
When he first began to preach from
St. James pulpit he made the odd an
nouncement that he was just taking
the church on trial and If the field
didn't suit him he would have to leave
He was evidently pleased with the
church, however, as within few weeks
he announced his intention Of remain
ing there.
During this last summer he has been
travelling in Europe and he has only
been home a short time. Both DR..
Dowling and Miss Williams live at 929
Adelphi street. New York, and 1t is
probable that the wedding ceremony
which is to take place in November,
will be performed in New York.

METHODIST Do
THE FRIGID ACT.
MINISTER'S RESOLVE AGAINST
COMMISSIONER
Rev. D. F. Howe Gives Potent Points
Before the Clergy on "The
Spirit Life In
Italics"

The Methodist Ministers association
at its meeting yesterday morning
caused a small frigid avalanche to fall
upon the head of Police commissioners
Saddler and as a side winder' upon
the shoulders of Mayor McAleer.
Rev. Robert s. Fisher read the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted:
whereas, II has come to our ears
that one of the police commissioners
has expressed himself as favorable to
an Increase of saloons above the 2OO
limit in Los Angeles; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Methodist Mln-
isters' association is unalterably OPP
posed to this latest move of the liquor
interests, and that it sets itself to pre-
vent one more encroachment of the
saloons"
After Rev. Mr. Fisher read the reso-
luton he stated that the police com
missioner was taking the brunt of the
whole affair, but that Mayor McAleer
advocated his action.
Addresses the Meeting
The address of the meeting was made
by Rev. ID. f. Howe. pastor of the
Westlake Methodist church, on the
topic of "The Spirit Life in Italics"
He said in part:
~ think we have Methodist heroes
today as much as in olden times. 1t
has been said that If the Pilgrim
Fathers had landed in the state of Call
fornia the old state of Maine would
not have had a Methodist minister nor
a church, but I think that they would
have found their way there long before
this time, according to their emblem
attic chara cterstics.

out upon the vast sea, and I realize
its great magnitude and what has been
told to me of it's millions and millions
of atoms.
"I think that the world is growing
better and is full of fraternities. They
can use the rituals of the church, but
they cannot improve upon them nor
take them away from their archives.
Spiritual experience is completed by
conduct. We have Holy Jumpers and
variety of similar travesties which do
much harm. We do not want to be led
by these wil-o'- '-the-wsp atrocities.

at is a sad thing that so few young
men are in the church Much depends
upon the character of the business
men in rightly leading the young men.

living true and honest lives every
seven days in each week. 1t is square
conduct and not trickery that accom-
pishes the right ends.
"I am sick and tired of this so-called
cant. I do not want to pretend to love
my fellow beings. but to be in earnest
about such an important feature of
human existence. We must possess a
godly feeling for a poor man as well
nY16nNUnH
worldly fayors. God fills the lungs OF
the man who knows nothing of oXy-
gen as well as the man who knows all
about it."
The next meeting of the association
will be held October s.
