"SET UP MILESTONES on
LIFE'S PATH" SAYS PASTOR
Mark Every Anniversary, So Those
Who Follow May Profit, Advises
Rev. DR.. Henry at First
Baptist Church

''Milestones for the New Year" was
Dr. Henry's topic at the First Baptist
church last night
Some one has said every anniversary
is milestone from where to where
he said Life is pilgrimage and there
are two ways over which men travel
from the cradle to the grave One is evil
and broad; the other is holy and mar
row and leads to everlasting life.
1.-THE injunction of the text is to erect
milestone along lifes highway. not
'only to indicate the progress we have
made, but to guide and direct those who
follow us upon the way. There is a
highway of holiness, new and living
way that has been opened up from earth
to heaven and from the soul to the
Saviour of men.
This is so plain that wayfaring
man, though fool, need not err there
in 1t is accompanied with the way
marks of salvation. These signboards
are so significant that every individual
who passes them may infallibly know
that he is on the way from earth, TO
heaven.
standing upon the threshold of new
year, with heart full of holy resolve
and heavenly aspiration, it can only be
profitable for us to contemplate person
ally and prayerfully some of these guide
posts in the way of God and glory
First of these waymarks is genuine re-
pentance toward God.
"True repentance implies not only "a
knowledge and confession of sin but
a positive forsaking of all known moral
evil 1t means that we should cease TO
do evil that we should cut short all
sin in righteousness. The only infallible
test of a Cody repentance is the per-
sonal and promt abandonment of wrong
doing.
LAS we enter upon the new year m tne
first requirement of every individual life
is that the black, broken and guilty
past shall be adequately dealt with. God
stands ready and pledged to do this upon
the sole ground that we are willing 10
part company with our transgressions
and to surrender all known sin."

RAILROAD NEWS

Beginning January many changes will
be made in the service of the Los Angeles
street railway system. Among others are
the following:
Pico Heights line-Every other car will
turn back at Wilton place, alternate
cars going through to Delaware place
until p. M, after which hour all cars
will run through Through cars will carry
the same board as at present. Others
will carry the same and also deck boards
reading tWilton place.'\
Boyle Heights line-Cars that now stop
at Bimini baths will run through to
Western and Merose, via Fourth street
and Western avenue. West end lower
deck signs will read "Bimini hot springs
upper deck signs western avenue"
During the present year the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern has been doing
some extensive work in the construction
of track troughs on its main line between
Chicago and Buffalo, and it now has
eleven such water stations where the
locomotives can scoop up water while
going at forty to sixty miles an hour
These troughs are placed about fifty
miles apart. They are 1000 feet long,
about two feet wide and six inches deep,
and they cost approximately 100000 each.
The high cost is due to the fact that the
aground must be excavated six to eight
feet, the bottom filled with large stone,
and then with smaller stone and finer
material above, so that this portion OF
the track is thoroughly drained and not
liable to heave in freezing weather. The
water is supplied by gravity from large
tanks situated near by, and these are
supplied by pumps from wells or adjpin-
Ing streams The water must be warmed
In large boilers to prevent freezing in the
troughs. The supply pipes are large, so
that the troughs will fill quickly, and
are equipped with automatic valves,
which shut off when full. While the ten
ders hold 5000 gallons of water the
amount taken from The trough is usually
5000 to 1000 gallons.

OLD SOLDIER DISAPPEARS
FROM EASTERN HOME
Relatives Notify Police That Thomas

Thomas Neal. 70 years of age, vet
eran of the civil war, has disappeared
from his home in Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, and
is thought by his relatives to be on his
way to Los Angeles. The local police de-
partment has been requested to watch
out for the man, as 1t is presumed he
may arrive here any day this week.
Ed Sergeant, former comrade of Neal,
is now living some place in Los Angeles.
and Neal has frequently expressed de-
sire to come here and visit him.
Neal is about five feet nine inches tall,
is slender and somewhat stoop shoul-

material, but is rather careless of his
appearance. He smokes a great deal, but
seldom drinks
Shortly before leaving his home he was

SIX HEADSlTO
DROP IN BASKET
HEALTH OFFICE eulLLoTlNE TO
FALL
Milk, Meat, Restaurant and Lodging
House Branches 20 Suffer-Dr.
Smiths Appointment
Held Up

If the slate goes through six inspectors
in the health department are scheduled
TO lose their places today-two milk, one
meat, two restaurant and one lodging
house inspectors
The original plan was to drop nine,
but the designations of two are expected,
and the failure of a third to pass the civil
service examination will put him out OF
the reckoning.
There is no immediate prospect of a
second assistant health officer being
named, as Dr. Arthur Smith the slate
nominee, has the undivided opposition OF
the board of health. This may prevent
his confirmation by the council.
The board parts with the services of
the inspectors grudgngly, as the mem
bers feel that there is work for all, and
more but since the ultimatum has been
given by the finance committee to cut
expenses, the reduction is acquiesced in
under protest.
One of the new reforms proposed is
that all employees be instructed to call
up the health office by telephone several
times a day. If this is done possibly a
telephone clerk will be installed at head
quarters, as William McGill, who looks
after the financial business, and Henry
Sief who does the statistical work, have
their hands full all day and their work
does not lend itself readily to the hun
dreds of telephone Interruptions. Secre-
tary Hugh M. Love is expected to do
much of the outside work of the board.
which keeps him from the office at ir-
regular intervals.
When the departments finances are
more ging the commissioners hope
to be able to install a stenographer in
the health office and Health Officer l..
M. Powers will then be relieved of the
necessity of making scores of personal
visits, as he does now, day and night, on
cases which require expert sanitary and
medical knowledge, of which he is an
acknowledged authority.

"CHILDREN OF G0D0 IS
DR.. SMI'IHER'S TOPIC
Pastor Of First Christian Church Says
Development of Offspring of Man
Was Ultimate Purpose
of Savior

AT the First Christian church yes
terday morning the Rev. A. Z. Smither
preached upon '1ne Children of God
from the words of Jesus ''As many as
received him, to them gave he the right
to become the children of God" He said
in part:
'rhe ultimate purpose OF the coming of
Jesus was trat the children of men might
become the children of God This was
the eliminating gift of series running
through all the ages.
''1he world was first spoken into exist
ence. In the evolutionary process of
Gods creative methods life was bestowed
upon the word--life, mineral, vegetable
and animal.
After arother period man became a
living soul, had the breath of life
breathed into him.. and was made In the
likeness of God. After long period OF
growth and development Jesus comes to
the race with a new gift for man; came
to open to him new door. to signal him
to serener heights than She had hitherto
attained.
I'm Christ man reaches the acme OF
earthly attainments. In him he comes to
his majority, to the possession of his
rights This new change in man is
brought about by new birth, spiritual
birth, and wrought by God. This birth
is not of blood, nor of ancestral rights.
1t is not of the flesh, the will or device
of man. This birth is possible only to
those who believe In Jesus Christ. I'm
belief closes the gate to promotion in this
realm.
Defines Change
"In another place the Great Teacher
defines this change as birth of the
water and the spirit begetting new life
In the soal while emergence of the body
in Christian baptism constitutes the birth.
Such birth brings great blessings, great
promotion to one who has entered into
this high fellowship.
Following the birth man enters into
his normal, natural life and relations.
He becomes a partaker of the divine ma
ture. He enters into the fellowship Of
the family of God. He receives the Holy
Spirit, who becomes a sanctifying influ-
ence within him. He comes into new
relation of trust and confidence before
God and walks before him in love and
service.
ITO become a child of God is to enter
into new relations and consequently into
new obligations God has entrusted
much of his business to his children.
Like their great teacher, they must be
about their fathers business. The great
agency through which he works is his
church, which is the body of Christ. No
man is a true child of God who does not
find his place in his fathers family in
the church, and in Gods work carried on
through that means

COILS TIGHTENING
FOR AUTO THIEVES
BURGLARY INSURANCE MEN ARE
PUSHING PURSUIT
Roundup of Guilty Men, Who Are Ex-
perts in changIn Appearance
of Machines, Looked
for Soon

Through the untiring enorts of mem
bers of the Southern Detective agency, an
organized gang of automobile thieves
which has been operating in the vicinity
of Los Angeles during the last year VIII
soon be disrupted, and it is probable many
of the members will be brought face 10
face with long prison terms.
For some time private detectives have
been engaged seslzing evidence against
certain men suspected of being connected
with this gang. During hte last three
weeks they have had sufficient evidence
to convict several Of the men, but did not
swear out complaints, hoping to gain still
more evidence and have a sure case when
the men were, brought to trial.
Yesterday morning they decided every
thing was in readlress, and one man, Jo-
seph Leinin, suspected of being connected
with the gang, was arrested and taken
to the central station, where he is still
held.
1t is the intention of the detectives to
take into custody today other members
of the gang, which numbers nearly a
dozen, and ii is thought the thefts OF
automobiles which have been so numer-
Gus in the past, viii. cease.
Fine Machine Stolen
During t0C ldSI InTte suiue VI
the finest automobiles in Los Angeles
have been stolen, and the system urdei
which the thieves worked was so perfect
the authorities were powerless to capture
them
Under cover of darkness machine
would be stolen and driven to some Sc.
cluded spot a short distance from the
city. There another automobile, which
had been secured in the same manner
would be waiting
Some of the members of the gang are
finished mechanics, and they would quick
ly interchange parts of the vehicles, and
when their work was finished the owners
would have been unable to identify theil
property.
1t is believed a number of stolen auto.
mobiles are being rented every day in the
heart of the city. The thieves being SC
confident of their ability to escape detec-
ton, they run them into the city some
after making the changes.
The man now confined in the Jail is
said to have admitted to the police taking
a machine from 1401 Alvarado street q
week ago, and it was on a warrent sworr
to by M. W. Everhardy, the owner, that
he was arrested.
1t is said several members of the gane
recently arrived here from the east, com
ing to Los Angeles with the Intention OF
carrying on the tnefts.

teaching and training, early i'm life.
To set good examples before children
and stop there is often To fail entire

examples set. In fact, they often go
the other way and do just the oppo-
site thing. They must be taught
taught TO do things, not because
father does but because il is right
not To refrain because father or

Parents are indeed presumptuous who
are satisfied To- havetheir children get
their ideas of right and wrong from
everyday eXapmles set bfore them.
Children should be instructed ia
morals and ethics, and taught polite
ness, gentility and good manners,
not 10y example only, but should be
shown how and why, and enforce
the lessons taught. Tell them why
and show them how. If parents de-
pend solely upon setting examples
there must be more or less failure.
Other people as we'll as fathers and
mothers, are setting examples"
every day, and parents must go further

raise children. If the mothers of
Tazewell and the country generally,
upon whom this care and training
chiefly rests would bear this i'm mi nd
