thought they were entitled to full pay
because they had had no opportunity
for the other eleven hours.
Some years ago, when l was COM
ing here to Los Angeles, the train
which was to have taken at Ell Paso
was wrecked and burned. When 1
did get started on the train were a
man, his sick wife and one child. They
had sold their all in order to bring
the wife and mother to this climate.
When the wreck came the man carried
out his sick wife, and when he went
back he found two Of his children so
pinned In the wreck that he had to
stand and see them burned to death.
with the one remaining child they
came on, and he was going to look for
employment to care for his little fam
ily. When he looked for work he did
not find it, and was finally rebuffed
and treated with resentment. When he
did find work at the eleventh hour,
given by a kind-hearted man, don't
YOU think he was willing to work as
hard In the remaining hour as many
would all day? But does there not
seem justice in paying this man who
has been hunting for work? This puts
a new Interpretation and we see how
1t is possible for this man in the par
able to pay the penny.
''This world itself would be the
greatest mystery and misery If we did
not look to another life to make good
for this life. Sadness Is but the intru-
sion of sin casting its blighting infiu-

other life to make good. The way out
of this world is through this world.
"There is not a kingdom today as
old as the Christian church. Those
that were kingdoms have perished, but
this flock of helpless men and women,
small in numbers. added to its MEM
bership under persecution until 1T con-
tanned the promise of an everlasting
empire. Jesus is today more the King
of Kings than all the earthly Kingdoms
with their armies and navies."
Following his sermon Bishop Hamil-
ton made known his wish. as his last
act in Southern California, to assist
in raising funds for a new Methodist
church. He said that when his friends
saw him they knew it meant to ''stand
and deliver" and in a few minutes
money and subscriptions were pour
ing in.
The Y M. c. A. of the University
of Southern California and Rev. r. j.
Inwood, pastor of the church, each
pledged money. for the new church In
memory of Charlie Richardson, said to
have been the best beloved student in
the university, who was drowned last
week.
Following the raising of the money
the congregation sang "Blest Be the
Tie That Binds" and Bishop Hamilton
gave what will be his last benediction
here for many months to come. Fol-
lowing the service many of his old
time friends and admirers fiocked to
the altar rail to bid good by to Cali

COMPARES VIEWS OF
PAST AND PRESENT
MONEY, LIKE ALL MATERIAL
WEALTH, FROM GOD
Hebrews of Old Believed Implicitly
That "the Earth Was the Lords,
and the Fulness
Thereof"

Rev. T. c. Marshall preached at St
Marks church last night on the subject
of Money" He said, in part:
Money like other material things,
belongs to God The Hebrew believed
earth is the Lords and the fullness
thereof; the silver is his and the gold
is his etc. If you were to ask him
how these came to belong to God, he
would reply, with the utmost simpli-
city. God mare them; 'the sea is his
and he made it.; the land is his and
he made it,
1--WE of this day are not so clear in
the conviction that everything belongs
to God. Certain things we grant to
him by common consent. The sky is
his, for we have not been able to make
any money out of that as yet. The
sea, with its trackless wastes, the
mountain with its wilds and the un-
inhabited plains of the earth-these are
his. Bat the houses, farms, cattle,
moneyHfhese are ours, and no one else
can lay any claim to them.
"A man holds gold coin in his hand.
You ask him whose it Is and he
answers, Mine You ask him to prove
that it is his and he recites to you its
history. The gold which composes it
was taken from my mine over yonder
in the mountains; 1t was sent 10 the
government of which I am a citizen
and to which pay my taxes, and was
stamped into a coin and returned to
me. 1t is mine by every law of pos
session.
but you begin to cross-examine him.
Who made the mountains and put the
gold in it's pockets?' you ask, and he
replies hesitatingly, God, l suppose
Who made the mechanical laws by the
operation of which it was separated
from the gold bearing earthT God,
SUPPOSE he says. Who made the gov
ernrnent and kept 1t and gave 1t the
power to stamp pieces of gold into
coins? God, l suppose Does not the
coin then belong to God rather than to
you? He answers with reluctance and
confusion, L suppose 1t does
"Why, of course, 1t does. The argu-
ment is Just as valid now as of old. 1t
is no matter whether God made the
earth and all things in it by a single
word or by long process of natural
laws through many ages. If he made
it 1t Is his.
"God makes a world Of matter en-
dowed with certain properties and
makes man with certain powers. Man
applies his powers to the matter with
its certain properties and shapes 1t into
new forms; and then he turns upon
God and says to him, These things are
all mine. You may have the sky, the
sea- the deserts, if you want them; but
all the good things. the houses, the
barns, the cattle, the towns and cities,
the money-these are mine and with
them you have nothing at all to do.

was made with all the pomp and cir

and roughed it in the palace gardens;
fair ladies were coy or gracious as be-
flied their mood and the importantly
of their admirers. Yet among all this
goodly company none was so fair as
the Princess Mary and none Drawer

There are absurdities in the play, as
