How He Got Out And Stays Out OF
Trouble.

Captain Abran Jones, OF III f. 36th.,
St, Los Angeles, Cal, tells an interest
ing coffee story, and says he can be
publicly quoted
Il drank coffee all my life," he says,

10 years ago when variety OF ailments
attacked me one after the other
"First came a disordcred stomach,
followed by palpitation Of the heart
which was very severe, some attacks
lasting or hours at a time. Then my
bowels got out of order, and | suffered
from chronic constipation. This ran on

while lay in this condition a friend
suggested that quit drinking the old
kind OF coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee--to see what II would do for me.
He said Postum had pulled him through
when he was similarly afflicted,
IT took his advice, quit coffee and
drank Postum, and In months time

the result that told my doctor about

AZ that time and said that he aid not be-
lleve that leaving m coffee and using
Postum had anything to do with my
improved health, but that II was due
to good medicine and good advice from
the family doctor; that my sickness had
worked out OF my system the diseased
conditions that had been developing for
several years, that I could now look
forward TO good health for some time
TO come, and that I had better resume
coffee drinking, In moderation, and thus
save my family the trouble OF preparing

REV. McCLAIN RESIGNS.
Notified His Congregation at Conclu-
sion OF Morning Service.

Rev. Josiah McClain, who for the
past IA years has been pastor Of the
Third Presbyterian church, asked his
audience at the conclusion OF the morn
ing service yesterday, to remain seated
for a few moments, and then read his
resignation as pastor OF the church. He
asked as q special favor that no ono
say anything TO him or to his VIE
about the matter for the next two
weeks, as 1t would be great favor 10
them. The resignation viii take effect
July /. by which time Mr., McClan said
the church would be able TO agree upon
a new man, and he himself would DO
able TO find a place on which to stand.
The resignation was listened to In 81.
lence and the congregation adjourned
az though nothing had happened, At
ter service both Mr., and Mrs. Mccain
left the building. without remaining for
Sunday school.
Mr.. Mccain was asked by News
representative II he would give a reason
for his action, but he declined TO say
anything beyond the remark that II
was for the good of all concerned. The
retiring pastor came originally from
Illinois. and graduated from Princeton
university. In 1871 and from the Prince
ton Theological seminary in 1874 He
held charges in Nevada, Colorado and

today the eyangellsts Of socialism. They
know what they are aiming at and they
are making converts at a prodlgious
rate. But In religion | am filed with
shame TO say We are apparently more
capable OF criticism than action. Even
nom the lips OF orthodoxy comes repu-
dlation OF the obsolete ideas OF such
old-tashionod evangelists who are still
active, and the rebuke Is richly de-
served. But what line OF evangelism
viii replace It?
"One thing seems sure: we must
know clearly what We are 70 try to
save men from and what we are to
try to save them for. We Unltarians
and other liberal Christians have no
right to criticize our brethren Of the
evangelical denominations. They have
not had time or opportunity for read
tustment yet. But We have had time
add We have the challenge Of a great
opportunity.
Our evangel must speak of man and
speak to man as growing and evolv-
ing type. IL we cannot bid him read
devoutly his Bible as verbally lnsplr-
ed. we can point him to the wider
scripture OF all noble literature and
great art, to natures pulsing heart
and humanity aspiring, and bid him
read as deeply and as reyerently as
his capacity permits OF an endless VOL
ume.
IT we cannot point him to a Christ
dying on cross to save him from his
SINS. born OF faint of blood and defect
OF Will. we can show him the noble
past OF men with the long procession
Of race and individual struggling Vi
carlously TO create an Inheritance for
him 10 use.
If we cannot exhibit God to him as
a kind OF larger man, listening to all
his querulous petitions, We can suggest
TO him aspects Of the IntiElte One as
felt In the sense OF loving sequence Of
law and power In the universe. All
this, and more, lies in our gospel. We
should aim to save man from sloth-
fulness, selfshness and degeneration;
We should aim to save him for activity,
love and growth. We should try to
link the present to all the past and to
all future"

DIR. COBURN'S LAST SERMON.
Combined Congregations of Three
Churches Heard Him Last Night

The First Presbyterian church was
crowded last night, with the cohgresa'

churches I'm attendance on the maj
sermon preached in this city, by Rev
DR.. Coburn. the Boston evangelist The
pastors of the churches interested and
Rev. T.. l.. Loveland of the Waterloo,
Ia, Methodist church were also pres-
ent and participated.
The evangelist spoke with the par
able Of The Prodigal Son as his text
DR.. Coburn spoke of the readiness
ever shown by the Father 10 forgive all
who will turn unto Him. 1t is whose
ever will" and that means any ana eV-
cry one He II ever ready to forgive
sin. At the same time there is limit
beyond which the strivlngs OF the splr-
II will not go. and the doctor clted the
experience OF Mr. Moody with a bust
ness man who had promised God that
IL his health were given back to him,
he would seek the Kingdom OF God.
His prayer was answered, but the
man neglected, In his returning busi-
ness cares, to attend to the needs OF
his soul. Notwithstanding Mr.. Moodys
urglngs, and said that by and by .e
would consider the way TO salvation.
In few days that man had relapse,
and died IN his sins. and with the
promise unfulflled. The speaker said
that Satan and those who work for
him are guilty OF the grossest misrep-
resentation OF the character OF God
that has been Displayed IN all ages.
The Creator has been characterized as
harsh, cruel and vlndiCtlye. He has
been charged with demanding impos-
slble things from weak humanity and
then Furnishing his creatures In anger
for disobedIence, on the contrary God
is love, and this fact the speaker IL

they had not used, 10 present them at
once to some local church.
Then followed a testimony meeting
which was largely taken part In, and
the interest manifested was very
marked. II was announced that the
evangelist would leave In the morning,
for Macon Mo. to conduct services
there. and II was hoped that before
long he would return to Salt Lake 20
conduct further services here. The
doctor was heartily thanked BY pastors

There seems To be a very strong
probability now that before David
Warheld completes his engagement in

will have broken all records for the
run OF play In New York. His 500th
performance is already scheduled for

grow any smaller In numbers and tho

now that before he closes his season
there he Will have ecllpsed the famous
run Of "Adonis' at the same theatre.
The result OF Nat Goodwin's reap
pearance In London Is awaited with a
good deal Of interest here. Three years
ago, after his last unsuccessful ex-
pertinent there In when We Were
Twenty one" Mr.. Goodwin declared
that nothing could ever induce him to
play in England. But recent theatrical
hascoes on this side Of the water have
evidently persuaded him to change his
mind. It's a thousand pitles that one
OF the several hundred thousand aspir-
Ing American dramatlsts cannot turn
out play which would suit him, for
in neither England nor America IL

DAUGHTER coNFEssEs.
Clears Up Murder Mystery, Saying

Clears Up Murder Mystery, Saying
 Father Committed Crime.
 Louisville, Ky, Nov. 14.--One of the most remarkable murder mysteries in police annals was apparently cleared up today by the confession of the 15- year-o1d daughter of Mrs. Virginia Et- ley. the victim.
 Anna Etley the daughter. tonight confessed to the police that her father had murd red her mother, and that she had hid the weapon and aided him in concealing his guilt for over week.
 The confession came just as the po- lice and newspapers had apparently given the case up as hopeless.
 Mrs. Etley was murdered November '. Shortly after midnight, her hus- band, John A. Etley. rushed from his home at 2416 Brook Street, and in- formed neighbors his wife had been murdered. Assistance was promptly given and Mrs. Etley wars found lying on her bed with her throat cut and a great gash in her head She was still alive. and conscious, but unable to in- 'dicate the murderer, although her hus- band assisted in caring for her.
 Etley's unblemished reputation and good family and the fact that all the things about the house had been arr ranged so as to indicate that the mur- der had ben committed bv an intruder, turned public suspicion . way from the husband after the first twenty-four hours. The arrangements for the crime were made with such coolness that the truth probably never would have been known had not the daughter confessed and showed the place where the weapon was hidden.
