WISE MEN NEEDED
To SAVE CITY.
Rev. Bradford Leavitt Asks
Why Citizens Cannot Go
on the Streets in Safety
DRINK AND CRUELTY

Where are the wise men2~ asked
the Rev. Bradford Leavitt, pastor of
The First Unitarian Church, al the
morning services yesterday in a ser
mon dealing with existing conditions
n the city.
DR.. Leavitt said he saw the need Of
wise men in the city to curb the Grim
mails that infest the streets and by
ways. He saw a menace in the sa-
looms and jeopardy in the houses Of i'll
repute which flourish, faunting their
shame on the streets where honest cit
izens live and children are reared.
Why is 81 that citizens cannot go
- safety along the streets2" he asked.
The root Of the evil the speaker
found in the many saloons which -four

period. And Of those seventy five cases
seventy were directly traceable tc

The growing evil OF the congestion

discussed at length, the speaker citing

which creep into society through this
source.
DR.. Leavitt declared that there were
a large class Of men who labored ir
various walks OF life. high and low
who did not put their soul into the
task, but worked by the clock and not
BY duty. If I were Mayor Of this city

sort OF men and ship them TO China
where I would dump them. apologizing

ASKS ALL To LEARN OF GOD.
Rev. Rufus f. Nunn in Pulpit at Cen
Rev. Rufus f. Nunn's Plea at Cen
fenary Methodist Episcopal.

At the Centenary Methodist Episco-
pal Church South the Rev. Rufus E
Mum chose for his sermon yesterday
the subject Increasing in the Knowl-
edge of God" He said in part:
The idea of God is the richest idea
Of the universe. IN it is the grandest
thought that in all ages past humanity
has dared to think. 1t is the corner
stone Of the philosophy of Plato and
Aristotle and is all that made these
philosophfes of permanent value. It
is the perfection OF the highest devel-
opment of modern philosophy 1t is
and beauty of all philosophy and sci
ence. 1t is the all comprehensive idea,
for in il all ideas find source-system.

heavens. for they declare his glory
We must look upon the armament, for

We must learn the wisdom that is

able gentle and easy to be entreated,
fun Of mercy and good fruits. without
partiality and without hypocrisy
In what lines we direct our study
the highest thought is God, for, as has
been said, all the metaphysical cate
gories are included therein: for God is
absolute being; all the physical cate
gories. for he is absolute force and
life; all the mental categories. for he
is absolute spirit; all the moral cate
gories, for he is absolute good.
All Of science is only the develop
ment Of some of the ideas included in
this supreme idea and in the develop
nent this idea has not been exhausted.
The curriculum in the apostles mind
was as extensive as the universe.
God reveals himself through his
works and inspired word. The ex-
ternal phenomena are but manifesto
tions Of divine being. The blooming
flower, the spreading oak, the ripping
brook and the raging ocean are but
wonderful laboratories where God may
be revealed to US Only as man studies
and finds God is he enabled to know
and control nature.

H. G. Edwards of Salt Lake City,
has fled suit in the District Court
against the Old Humboldt Mining Co.
and X. G. and Jas. A. Blossom for
$4,000 damages. From the complaint
on file, it appears that Agnes r. Vad-

shares of stock in the corporation,
and she disposed OF 200, 900 shares to
plaintiff, who sent the certificate with
a request to the Blossoms, who are Of
ficers OF the corporation, to be can
celled, and asking for one certificate
to be issued for 20O, 900 shares aud
another for $4,000, which the Bios
SONS have failed to do. Edwards
claims the stock to be worth 6 cents
per share, hence the $4,000 damages.
The suit has been brought through
Attorney A. J. Maestretti, with Prick,
Edwards & Smith, of Salt Lake for
counsel.-Reveille.
