NEW FRIEND STEALS WATCH
PaWned Timeplece Reposes in Pocket
Of Owner but Short
While

Frank Adamson was hard up a
month ago and was compelled to pawn
his watch, according to the story he
told the police.
Saturday night he decided to get 1t
out, and after brief visit to the pawn
brokers' left the establishment with the
timepiece in his pocket. Adamson was
glad to have it back and made no secret
of the fact that he possessed a watch;
in fact, he made 1t point of showing
1t to every person he met.
When he neared the Plaza he met
a neat appearing young man, with
whom he at once struck up friend
ship, and in spirit of good fellowship
drew forth the watch to exhibit to his
new found friend. The young man. ac-
cording to Adamson, did not allow him
any more time than was necessary to
draw out the watch than he made a
sudden grab for it, and before Adamson
could recover his senses was around
the corner and away Adamson wants
his watch back and has asked the po-
lice to recover 1t for him.

RANcHERS REJOICE At RAIN
Southern California Soaked by Steady
Downpour and More Of the
Same ts Expeoted

Ranchers in the southern part Of the
Golden State are rejoicing in the gener-
GUS rains which have at last arrived.
The weather mans promise of moisture
has failed so often this season that the
skeptical were slightly inclined to doubt
the truth of his predictions of Satur-
day, promising showers for Sunday
The results, however, justified the fore
cast More rain is expected today.
The official record for the past
twenty-four hours registers a fall Of
.26 of an inch Of rain. OF this, the
heaviest was between / and 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when .16 Of an
inch fell. Up to the present time the
rainfall record for the season Is 1.7S
inches, as compared to 3.06 inches at
the same time last year. The opening
of the season at q much later date this
year is partly responsible for this, but
several good heavy showers Will ap-
pfeciably reduce the difference in the
two records.
The rains OF yesterday were more
than local in their effect The storm
which caused the rains Is general all
over the country, and the showers
themselves were enjoyed by the entire
southern section of the state.

WEALTH BURDEN TO CHURCH

AS the fifth of his series of eXposi-
tory sermons on the Book or reveal
ton" Rev. w. d. Lands, pastor of the
Westlake Presbyterian church, spoke
yesterday morning on THE Letter 70
the Church of Laodacea." He said In
part:
",The trouble with this church was
that it had grown lukewarm. The Mas
ter could do nothing with it. They were
rich. lived in luxury, at ease with the
world, proud, self satisfied and con-
ceited. He rebuked them sharply for
this and reminded them that the only
gold of lasting value was that which
he had to Offer
wealth is burden to some churches.
A burden of debt we hear of often, but
none but Christ can see a church is
burdened with wealth. But Christ says
this church was, and he calls them
wretches, miserable, blind and naked
"He adds: Behold, L stand at the
door and knock; If any man hear my
voice and open the door 1 will come
in anl sup with him and he with me-
See the church lukewarm, at ease, with
plenty of money, frivolity and self-con-
ceit, while the Lord Is excluded, stand
ing ON the doorstep, begging for admis-
sion.
"There is only one cure for the state
Of things within, then or now, wher-
ever it exists. Let the Lord Jesus come
in. He and he alone will drive out
other things. You can never chase them
away as long as you keep him out.
"Then note the patience and the kind
ness of this excluded Christ. His
throne has been usurped, his place has
been filled by another but there is nc
murmur, no anger. He alone would
have any hope of this Laodacear
church. But he does not give up hope
even there. He patiently waits until
he is invited to return. He will never
sit on the doorstep of your church. He
may stand there long time, waiting tC
have his rightful place in the throne
room. VIII you let him in to possess
your heart and the heart Of this
church? ?"

come to Los Angeles every winter for
few days of sunshine and that next
year he is determined to come here to
live.
"At first I thought 1 would only stay
in Los Angeles a couple Of days, but 1t
seems so good to get out of the cold of
the east that am going to stretch that
two or three days just as far as they
can be stretched.
"It is bitterly cold back there, and
you people do not know how thankful
you should be. Every year / have felt
as If 1 wanted to come to Los An
geles to live for it is the best place
in the world-I know none better. / am
not going to want to come after this
year, am coming.
About the carriage business-well
there Is not much to say about 1t, un-
less the fact that the American peo-
pie relieved us of $1,000 carriages last
year is of interest"
