BURDETTE SCORES THE
RUEF-SCHMlTZ GANG
SAYS JAPANESE ARE BETTER
THAN oPPREssoRs
Declares Japan Would Not Feel Ae-
grieVed at Exclusion Of Children
from Schools II It Understood the
Nature Of the Men Responsible

DR.. Robert j. Burdette of the Temple
Baptist church took occasion yesterday
to score the action of San Francisco
in excluding In the public schools the
Japanese children. incidentally, the
genial preacher-lecturer delivered
singing TRADE against the municipal
conditions now prevailing In the north
ern city. He said:
"And-Japan feels aggrieved at the ac-
tion of q few San Francisco snoDs. II
she knew the true state of afrairs IN
that politician ridden city she would
offer prayers of thanks that her sons
and daughters were not being permit
ted to associate with their American
neghbors. The civilized world is to-
day standing aghast at spectacle or
the most audaciouS, most villalnouS,
most wicked crime against civic right
eousness ever seen in all the history
of graft, political manipulation and mu-
nicipal corruption. Who are the our
children that the authorities wish to
keep separate from the Japanese? The
few who actually are in favor OF such
colossal piece of snobbishness are
the SONS and daughters of tribe of
Ruefs and Schmitz and political
thieves and grafters."
At the morning service DR.. Bur-
dette preached on the topic, More
Than Enough" taking for his text
Matthew, xv:34, How many loaVes
have ye?"
"God's question to man, revealing to
him by his own honest answer, not
merely his incompleteness and Gods
completeness, but mans full equipment
for service, What have you, Abra-
ham?'
"'Flocks and herds. Lord. Rich am
I in camels and sheep, in silver and
gold, but l am wanderer; childless
old sheik, journeying where there Is
good pasture and sleeping where the
night finds me-
+" Lift up thine eyes, and far as you
can see to the north, the south, the
east and the west, the land Is yours
forever. Look at the stars and count
them-thesl are the numbers of your
children's children
What is that in thine hand,
Moses?' "A rod 1T is enough. Bring
forth judgment from the earth and
river with 1t. Awaken the wrath of
the clouds. Smite the harvest field,
the city, with terror. Lift 1t up and
divide the waters of the angry sea
till thou make a pathway through the
billows.'
How many men have you Gideon?'
'Thirty-two thousand, Lord Too
many; for your foes camp in the val
ley like grasshoppers for multitude
and their camels are as the sands of
the seashore. Test your men; sift them
again-noW how many? Three num-
dred.' Now, scatter INDIAN and ANA
lex to the ends of the desert
What have you, Shamgar?' Just
an ox-gead' 'Smite the host of Phil
istia with it and deliver Israel
What have you, Dayld?' Five
smooth pebbles from the brook and a
shepherds sling 'Slay thou the
mighty and establish the throne of
Saul
"'How many loaves have,ye, my dis
ciples?' Seven, Lord, and few small
fishes Tt, is enough. Feed all the
multitude hungering here in the desert
feed them until they are filed and
then bring to me- more again than you
had at the beginning
"'What have you, man" God calls
down from heaven in the beginning.
Just seed enough for this years har-
vest. Lord
"And the world has lived, and fed to
the full and multiplied exceedingly
through all the ages for Gods seed
time and harvest, and cold and heat
and summer and winter, and day and
night have never ceased How many
loaVes have YEP 1t is the question of
Christ to his church today. We have
more than enough to feed all the
hungering souls in the great wide
v'orld. IL only like these disciples. we
give all that we have to God-body
and mind and soul-keeping back moth
