are that this is the last time Mr.. Grove

After taking in the beauties of Los
Angeles, viewing the court house and

These iammed against the building and

The visiting couple. having escaped
alive departed at once for Corona,
where the peaceful quiet is not dis
turbed by such exciting pastime as
lodging stray automobiles.
The machine which caused Mr.. Grove
the greatest shock of his hitherto quiet
life was an Gilmore No. 4743. owned by

SIFT OF TONGUES

THE gift OF tongues has not, and will
not be the means Of disrupting the New
Testament church," said Rev. Joseph
Smale, when seen at his home last
evening. "And the radical dozen who
hove overstepped the rules Of the
church and are holding meetings else

ticlc. And In order to again affiliate
with the church harmoniously they
must change their ways, which are
drifting into fanaticism and spirltual-
ism.
II believe In the gift of tongues as
maintained in the carly Corlnthian
church, but II lapsed aud became de-
generatlve, and believe that the Azusa
street method is decidedly of the latter
character.
"Those people contend that the gift
OF tongues Is the inevitable evidence OF
the baptism Of the Holy Ghost. | fail to
see that idea but | do believe In the
Cod given gift of tongues, but not tho
abuse of 1t, as Is the case In Los An
geles.
Il also believe that tho devil imparts
the gift of tongues, but II is not for
me to distinguish between the good and
the bad.
Denies Reyes Story
II wish to say that never charged
Lillian Keyes with being possessed
with the evil spirit, as has been report :
ed, and never believed that child of
God could he possessed with II.
There are nine gifts to be observed,
according to the Bible. but | never
prayed for the gift of tongues nor any
one special gift but as whole.
This detraction from the church
does not change my attitude OF Cody
love with II single member of the
church.
The Bible is the rule of faith and
practice and what is contrary to ite
teachings | cannot accept.
II think that DR.. Keyes and his fam
lily are sincere in their belief and there
is none that esteem more highly than
they.

There is nothing on earth in the
amusement line like the circus. 1t is
the peoples show par excellence The
expert knows what is coming every
minute of the show, but he wouldn't
have it changed for worlds. The very
conventionalism of much of the per-
formance is what makes it so delightful
The merit of a big circus such as that
of Forepaugh-Sells is in the fact that
everything in the show is the very
best of its kind.
There must inevitably be riding acts,
but the riders are the leaders of their
profession. There must be acrobats,
but the acrobatic artists and aerialists
are gathered from the wide world, and
are the best that money can secure.

that of Elmer Ubanks. who came to
Los Angeles from Fullerton last Thurs

According to Ubanks, the successful
sutor who finally renounced his bride,
Miss Waldorf went out shortly after
he came to see her and when she re-
turned a few hours later it was in
company with male friend with
whom ubanks had no acquaintance.
Rough House Ensues
Surprised and shocked, Ubanks sor-
rowfully informed her that all relations
were at an end and that their mar
riage could never be. Miss Waldorf is
alleged to have made some sighting
remark i'm return and, within a few
hours from the time when Ubanks
came to Los Angeles expecting TO re-
turn to the beet country with happy
and and blushing bride, a free fight
was In progress in room of the Hi
awatha rooming house and Miss Wal
dorf emerged from the rough house
considerably dilapidated. According to
the statement of DR.. T. c. Myers. who
is said to have attended the young

When DR.. Myers went into the room
to attend Miss Waldorf she is alleged
to have said:

And the doctor made no contradc.
