''UNACC0UNTABLE THINGS"
IS HIS SERMON THEME
REV. A. C. sMITHER DIscoURsEs
ON THE BIBLE
Says Proof of Authenticity of Book
Lies in Its Preservation, Although
Means of Keeping Testaments In-
tact Were Apparently Few

Continuing his series of sermons on
"Unaccountable Things" Rev. A. C.
Smither preached yesterday morning
at the First Christian church upon "The
Unaccountable Book, the Bible" He
said in part:
Among the many things in the Chris
tian religion which can not be ac-
counted for by human agencies the
Bible occupies conspicuous place.
This fact of its unaccountablty by
human means commends it to our con-
sideration as the veritable word of God.
Its origin is unaccountabe by hui
man agencies. The Bible is library
or theological encyclopedia. 1t was
written in several different countries
during period of fifteen hundred
years ard by about forty different au-
thors. These writer's knew nothing Of
each other or each others message
When these books were gathered into
one volume marvellous unity in spirit
theme, purpose was discovered all CEN
tering upon the one theme-the Christ.
Those fragments gathered constitute a
MOSAIC of marvellous beauty, poem of
matchless. symmetry, a song of Won
drous power. How account for so Won
derful book apart from divine power
and guidance?
THE preservation of the book has
been equally marvellous. No printing
press to preserve the message, no great
libraries in which to deposit the manu-
scripts, no vaults to keep the treasures
were possessed In those centuries. Be
side the wonderful physical preserva-
ton of the sacred volume the book has
been kept from countless assaults of
infides, skeptics, rationalists, critics
within and without the church and
exercises a greater Influence today on
human thought than in any previous
age. No human wisdom can account
for this marvellous preservation of this
wonderful compilation of books
1.-The wondrous knowledge and teach
ing of this book cannot be accounted
for apart from divine guidance and
help. It's knowledge of the origin of
this physical universe is clear and dis
tinct. It's understanding of the nature
and physical destiny of the world is
most remarkable considering the age
i'm which 1t was written. Its knowledge
and Interpretation of God surpasses the
highest reach of human thinking even
In modern times. It's matchless por-
trayal of the human heart surpasses
human knowledge. It's understanding
of the worth of man and the final
destiny of the human family clearly
declare it a revelation of God and from
God"

was convinced Daugherty has been
working his game for months.
Daugherty was identified by one man
yesterday. who said he saw the prls-

I'VE have a great deal of trouble

the detective. THE men who work

WIFE MURDER
is EPIDEMIC
THREE SIMILAR CASES is THE
RECORD OF MONTH
Causes Veteran Detective to Say
That Husband Who Makes
Threats Should be
Locked UP

Within a month three husbands have
attempted to murder their wives. TIC
the amazement of surgeons, two re-
covered the third was almost instantly
killed.
The tragedy early Saturday morning
at little home in East Sixty-seventt
street. when f. r. Skunk killed his wife
and then shot himself. was the last
case.
Several weeks ago r. c. Beggs shot
his wife at their home in Diamond street
and believing her mortally wounded
fled into the foothills. Later when
about to be captured by a detective he
put his gun to his head and blew his
brains out.
The police said they could learn of
no sufficient motive to prompt the deed,
but it was thought he was angry with
his wife because she refused to turn
over to him a small sum of money she
had earned as a nurse The shooting
occurred May 16.
About a week later Michael Csrepes
shot his wife at their home in East
Fortieth street and then turned the
weapon on himself. Both recovered and
the husband will be prosecuted on a
charge of assault to commit murder.
"There almost seems to be an epi-
demic of attempts at wife murder" re-
marked a veteran police detective yes
terday. "In each of the three cases
the husband had threatened to kill his
wife long before the fatal act.
"A man who says he is going to
shoot his wife if she does not do so
and so ought to be put where he cannot
harm anyone"

SIT At FEET Of
GREAT TEACHER.
DEAN STEVENSON ADVISES
OCCIDENTAL GRADUATES
Baccalaureate Sermon at Highland
Park Presbyterian Church Is
Heard by Large
Congregation

Several hundred persons attended the
baccalaureate services of Occidental
college which were held yesterday
morning in the Highland Park Presby-
terian church.
The pulpit and organ loft were pret-
tily decorated with ferns, palms and
daisies, while a large number of Occi-
dental pennants hung from the walls of
the church.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. j.
A. Stevenson, dean of the college, who
gave a talk full of assurance and
promise to those who are soon to leave
college and enter upon the duties of
life.
Taking for his text the words, II will
give you rest" from Matthew 1928, he
showed that rest meant only certainty
and If we we're only sure of thing we
would always have rest. This applies
not only to the material things of this
world but also to the spiritual life as
we'll Many questions can be trified
with, but the problems of the soul cam
not be neglected and must be thought
out and answered by every one.
Dean to Class
Addressing the senior class, in con-
clusion, Dean Stevenson said:
Young men and women, you are
graduating from Occidental college.
You will learn no more here.

HOSPITAL PATIENT BREAKS LAW
AGAINST BEGGING
Fell in Borax Mine, Was Crippled,
and Had to Seek Alms-Now Gets
Thirty-Day Sentence for Va
grancy

If the story told by Mike Quinn is true
he is much abused man.
Mike was given thirty-day sentence
for vagrancy the other day, because h,
was found begging on the streets.
Mike told a friend he was anxious tc
get back to work. after being severa
months in the hospital.
He heard of a job in Venice. and ir
order to get there started to beg. He
was arrested by patrolman in plain
clothes and hailed into court.
Until few months ago, he said, he
was miner working in a boraX mine
He fell down a shaft and broke several
ribs. He was laid up in the Sisters
hospital for many weeks.
When he left there he was still weak
and had not a cent. He admitted he
asked for money, but gave these rea-
sons as an excuse.
If he were telling the truth it was a
pitiful story, but few of the men on
the chain gang can be believed, say the
police.
