From what can be learned he was

at 5:45 his comrades went to his bed
side to arouse him for breakfast, and
it was found he had passed away.
Kinney had been a seaman all his
life until he came to the Soldiers
home and had sailed to every known
habitable part of the globe. He visited
the Sandwich islands and Africa wher
it was worth q mans life to venture
there.
He was we'll known in Sawtelle

| SAN BERNA RDINO, Feb. 1S.-The
| cemetery proposition grows warmer
each day. The building association of
the Masonic bodies has announced that
the cemetery will be built within the
city limits, as originally planned, and
defes the city council to prevent the
establishment of the new burial
| grounds, The interests backing the
cemetery have further announced that
a crematory will be installed as one o,
the first features.
The determined stand taken by the
promoters of the new cemetery is daily
arousing more opposition ON the part
of the property owners, whose interests
are supposed to be threatened, and if
the differences come to suit, which
now seems likely, a hard and bitter
fight will result.
1t is announced that still another
burial ground will be established west
Of the ground purchased by the Masons
and a rush is in prospect between the
conflicting interests to beat each other
irto the grave plot market.
Mrs. Josie McFarane died at an

OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY
CHURCH is LIKENED TO THE MIS-.
SIONS OF OLD
Stately Mission Arches of the Edifice
are Reminders of Sacrifices of the
Padres as Well as of Pastor and
People

The first anniversary of the dedica-
ton of the Church of st. Thomas the
Apostle, was observed with solemn
mass yesterday morning at the church,
Rev, C. Molony, pastor of st. Agnes
church, being celebrant Rev. J. J. Cliff
ford, the pastor acted as deacon and
Rev. j. w. Collins, the assistant, as
sub-deacon. Marshall Winnie was
master of ceremonies.
Father Collins, who is we'll known as
an eloquent speaker, preached the SER
mon from the gospel of the day, dwell
ing on the life of st. Paul.
1t being Sexagesima Sunday, or the
siXteth day before Easter, the purple
hue of penance adorned the affairs, the
decorations being waXlike lilies with a
background of green.
Solemn VesperS We're celebrated last
evening, at which Rev. d. w. j.
Murphy, pastor of the Blessed Sacra-
slent church of Hollywood, preached.
He took for his text Luke 1879, This
day is salvation come to this house"
He said in part:
To-day we commemorate an event
which has rendered this church dear
it into the most precious treasure in
this parish, and we can apply in truth
to it the words of the text. BY the same
| ceremony it became the house of God
as was eVinced by its being set apart
| for divine worship. We further believe
that God chose it in a special manner
as his dwelling place.
The presence of God in Solomon's
temple was only figure of his pres
ence in our churches. Hence our rever-
entail manner in its sacred precincts.
1T became our own house, a place
connected with sweet and consoling
memories, where we assemble around
our common Father. 1t is house of
prayer, where we know our prayers
will be heard.
THE church receives the infant at
baptism and leads him on to the thres-
hold of the grace, and hence it becomes
to us a place of fondest memories.
This church is link with the mis-
| sions of old. Its beautiful mission
arches remind us of the labor and sac
rihce of the mission fathers as we'll as
the devotion and sacrifice of the pastor
and people who have built st. Thomas
church. That it may stand many years
as a reminder 10 the passerby of the
days of old is the earnest prayer of
US all this evening"
