Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmaae, D. D.

Los Angeles. Cal. Feb. ll.-Rarely
has the spiritual side Of astronomy
been so pIcturesqucly presented as in
this sermon. which gives glimpscs that
afford cheer and encouragement to
those who are In danger of becoming
dlshcartened In the struggle of life.
The text Is Daniel xii. 3. AS the stars
forever and ever"
Some people are spiritually farsight-
cd. They cannot see Gods blessings
near at hand. They will sing with
great gusto. II want TO he an angel and
with the angels stand" but they never
thank God for the present opportuni-
Ties of Christian work and for the
blessings of earthly Christian fellow
ship here and now. They are never
capable Of having their hcartstrings
bind them To n mundane tabernacle as
the heart OF John Fawcctt. author of
the noble hymn. "Blest be the tie that
binds" and that Of his dear wife. We're
bound TO the little parsonage of Wains-
gate. In Yorkshire, England. After
yourg Fawcctt had been rural pastor
IN this humble village Il few years he
WAS called TO n great metropolitan
church rs the successor of the famous
Rev. Dr GIN of London. II was pull
pit of which any man might have been
proud. The resignation was read, the
farewell sermon preached. the wagons
were loaded with the furniture to take
the young pastor To his new field of
labor. While the goOdby words were
being said. Mrs. Fawcett. her husband
ana the villagers all broke down and
wcpt. Then Mrs. Fawcett said: "0h,
John, cannot bear this | know not
how 10 ~" Nor | either" said her
husband. and we will not 90. The
wagons shall be unloadcd, and every
thing put in its old place" So the
wagons were unoaded. A letter was
sent To London explaining the c0ndi-
lions, and John Fawcett, who might
have become Dr. Gill's successor In a
great metropolitan pulpit, remained
in his humble rural church because Of
his affection for his people. All, ye
whose hearts beat and throb 10 the key
note of love. can you blame him? Then
he went into his study and wrote his
immortal hymn, which has done more
good than all the sermons he has ever
preached. Like John Fawcett are most
of us. We thank God for the tender
ties that bind our loving hearts TO
earthly friends and for the ties that
bind our hearts 10 The opportunities of
gospel work this side of the grave.

work Ia the home. the church. the store
aud the study. yet we would not forget
those who have gone beyond. We would

are To h. ours when our earthly work
for Christ is done. Therefore the pur-
pose of this sermon is 10 tell you what
glories await you on the other side of

pilgrimage. And am going 10 tell you
this by one of the most beautiful sym

NOBODY GOT A LEMON
VIANDS OF THE DELECTABLE
SORT AT FOOD SHOW.
Large Crowd at Convention Hall Last
Night and Everybody Goes
Away Satisfied.

Nobody was handed lemon at the food
show at Convention Hall last evening. In
the large amount of edibles that was be-
slowed on the unsuspecting pubic there
was nothing that suggested the citrus genus.
Many family circles were broken and
hearthstones deserted last evening, and the
absentees-over 5000 of them-heiped to de-
plete the stock of samples at the various
booths at Convention Hall.
How to take home all the samples was the
problem which a matron had to face as
she was leaving the hall shortly before IL
o o'clock last night.
I've turned in all but one of The coupons,
and I couldn't find that booth. l just hunt

her woman friend. IT'S new kind of
coffee, and the printing Says that men
never kick at it, Dan says sometimes my
coffee is cold that it makes his teeth
ache; but it's always when he's been to
the lodge the night before. He seems to
want everything strong the next morning"
While she was talking those who over
heard wondered how the package that the
last coupon would have brought was to be
carried Clutching with one arm a small
-four sack and dragging a yodngster who
had been allowed to stay up three hours
later than usual as special favor with
the other hand, she was struggling under
that load to get through the mass of hui

to let out its contents at any moment Ris-
