Rev. E. A. Cantrell gave yesterday
the first of the Sunday afternoon lee
lures that he is delivering at Blanchard
hail on 1.-THE Literary interpretations of
the Social Problem, Being the Life
Messages of Some Modern Men of Let
ters" The subject for the afternoon
was "Tolstoy and Philosophic Anarch-
ism" After some Introductory remarks
relative to Tolstoys general view of
life the lecturer said in part:
"'The first fact that impresses a close
observer" remarks Tolstoy, ''is that,
on the one hand, the great majority of
the people are enslaved, and that, on
the other hand, a class exists in idle
ness-idle in that it does nothing use
full. Next is the fact that the class
that works most and produces most
has least, while the class that does
least has most
'"Tolstoy then sets to work to inquire
into the causes of this economic an
omaly, and he finds the fundamental
cause in government; in the laws that
the ruling class make; laws relating to
the land; to property and taxation.
There is plenty of land, but people
are cut off from it. The ruling class
that makes the laws as to its use
and occupation have monopolized the
natural resources, large areas being
fenced off for game preserves and other
areas held for speculation. Moreover,

DR.. BURDFTTE SPEAKS
ON BLESSING OF WORK
TEMPLE BAPTIST MEMBERS
WELCOME PASTOR
Popular Minister breaches His First
Sermons After Long Vacation
in the East and in
Europe

Rev. Robert ]. Burdette was greet
ed by welcoming congregations at Tenn
pie Baptist church yesterday morning
and evening for his first services after
long summer vacation.
In his prelude to the morning sermon
Dr. Burdette said that although the
title of his sermon was Every One
at Work.. it was not special eXhor-
tation to a church that had been hard
at work during the months of his alb
sence abroad. There were few pastors
returning from their rest days, he re-
marked, who were met by their church
as he had been at his first prayer
meeting with the announcement: PAS
tor, don't talk too long; we have twen-
ty new members for you to receive to-
night" OF these ten were baptized at
the evening service. The pastor paid
high tribute to the zeal and spiritual
tact of Associate Pastor Edwin Brown,
through whose preaching at Echo Park
branch the most of these candidates
for baptism were brought into the
church.
The morning sermon was from Ne
hemiah, AIS: 1--WE returned all of US
to the wall, every one unto his work"
His sermon was addressed especially to
the workingmen who formed goodly
part of the congregation.
Goods first blessing upon man." said
DIR. Burdette, was the blessing of
blessings-work. All the rest of ami
mate creation, wing and fin and hoof
and claw, had no duty assigned by the
instructive duty of living. But man
was made monarch of all life and mat
ter. No wing is strong enough to carry
the burden beyond the reach of his
hand No monster of the abyss that
he has not drawn up out of the sea for
his snort. no desert of death across
which he has not journeyed; no noun
tain so high that he has not scaled it;
no wall of stone SO dense that he has
not tunneled it; no disease that he has
not cured; no climate so fiercely inhos-
pitable that he cannot live in it; no
fury of the jungle that he has not
tanned to an unmuzzled and harmless
pet. And yet, in all the world, the
only creature commanded to work Is

with his steam engine and Field with
his cable. What these heroic men
worked out was substance to them
before their discoveries and inventions
were actualities. The same Is true of
the work and faith of our pilgrim
fathers and mothers, the founders of
the wesleyan movement, Francis
Xavier, William Taylor, William But
Ier and<Judson. Pioneers of faith have
dismally discovered that it is more diff
ficult to overcome the unbelief of men
than to master the principles upon
which their deductions and inventions
depended.
"After all, the stronger argument for
our Christian faith is not what we
say, but what we do. 1T has been
thoughtfully remarked that although
the unbeliever may not read the Bible
he does read the life of Christians to
see how they live. A truth incarnated
in a consistent Christian life is the
church's invincible argument for Chris
tianity
Faith is salvation. Salvation from
sin and self and sorrow and sickness
and adversely. There is no i'll Of the
soul for which faith is not a specific:
and many ills of the body flee away
like the poisonous fogs before the sum
light.
There is a power which man can WELD,
when mortal aid is vain;
That power is prayer, which scars on high
Through Jesus to the throne.
And moves the Hand which moves the world
To bring salvation down.

Christian association and that today
this association was an inspiration to
other associations in the other cities
and towns of California.
Councilman A. J. Wallace, on behalf
of the board of directors, said in part:
THE board of directors does not feel
that this is it's building, but your
building. The board did not erect the
building, but you did. The members
fully realize that they are your rep
resentatives in carrying out this work.
Now that the building is completed
and the workshop in operation, what
will the harvest be?"
Tribute to Luther
Immediately following these meetings
the entire lobby and first mezzanine
floor were filled with people who gath
cred to witness a beautiful tribute to
the general secretary.
President Let's detained General
Secretary Luther in his office until the
throng from the two meetings had col
lected in the lobby and then brought
him down the marble steps. 1t was
evident by his face that he was un-
aware of the purpose of the gathering,
and not until President Let's began his
presentation speech did Luther know
what was about to be done.
President Let's spoke feelingly as
follows;
1T is the desire of the members of
the board of directors to recognize In a
substantial manner their appreciation
of your untiring efforts in working with
them during the past three years.
"They realize that no one has had a
greater share in the erection of this
magnificent building than yourself. You
have given the best in you at all times.
You have been faithful, loving and un-
tiring-always meeting US with your
pleasant smile and encouraging words
= orking in complete harmony with
us. We have ever found you a true
Christian gentleman. We know your
sterling worth and your love for young
men.

commemorate the erection and COM
pletion of our beautiful building at this
time by extending to you some taken of

has sought this opportunity of present.

dered Nehemiah and his compatriots
in their worlx-rubbish. 1t was the one
thing mentioned in the breaking down
of the workmen. The strength of the
bearers of burdens is much decayed,
and there is much rubbish. Rubbish
is a hindrance to good building work
today. Rubbish in society; rubbish in
politics-mountains of it; rubbish in
socialism; rubbish in business; rubbish
in the trades; rubbish in our charities
and philanthropies; rubbish in the pub
lie schools; rubbish in our courts of
Iaw-acres of it; rubbish in the
churches. Why, Jerusalem today is a
city builded on a rubbish heap.

No workman likes to work with old
stuff. Rubbish isn't even very good
stuff to fill hole with.
Society is enslaved by the rubbish
of old customs; the law is hobbled by
rubbishy precedents; the church is
hampered in it's divine work by the
rubbish of man made creeds, parts of
them with no more flesh and blood in
them than on the ribs of an umbrella;

CHASE FOR TOY BALLOON
ENDS IN A DROWNING

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-When a toy

from ST. Louis fell into Pittsburg lake,
near Alta Sta, on the outskirts of
East st. Louis, Peter Graham. 25 years
old, of 24OO Bond street, who had been
chasing the balloon for blocks, plunged
into the lake after it. He miscalcu-
lated the waters depth and sank in
stantly, unable to swim. He drowned
within sight of a dozen fishermen be-
fore they could reach him.
The body was recovered and taken
to his home. A half dozen youths had
Joined in the chase after the balloon
with Graham, but gave it up after
pursuing the bag for a number of
blocks.
Graham was determined to capture
the balloon, however, and did not hesl-
tate when it fell into the lake long
after the others had given up the chase
He threw off his clothing and plunged
into the water, evidently intending to
wade to the balloon, which was not
far from shore. He struggled only a
moment when he found himself out Of
his depth, before sinking for the LAST
time.

Playground Sunday, which is in
tended to be day of national OBJ

churches with many sermons and ref

life.
The day, which has been set aside by
the national association. was favored
by the Church federation and the
members made references to the work
yesterday, either in the sermons or in
short preludes to the various dis
courses of the day.
The work, as carried on in Los An
geles, and the benefit it brings to
thousands of children. was dwelt on
at length.

ut has been a very, very happy week
to us, but this Is the one brightest
moment of all, as we express our sin
cere love to you. God bless you"
Mrs. Emmett followed with an ap-
propriate song.
Secretary Luther completely broke
down with emotion, but regaining his
composure responded with hearty ap-
probation and said he would rather
live in Los Angeles and work with
this board of directors than anywhere
else on earth. He expressed his sense
of appreciation for the work done by
the directors and secretaries since the
work was organized in 1882.
Today the artisans, mechanics and
tradesmen of the city will be rendered
a reception from to and 8 to 10 p.

those lands which are used must be
used on the terms dictated by those
who own them.
Thus we have the owners who do
not use and the users who do not own.
| This condition is brought about not by
| thrift but by theft; by violence and
usurpation. If the people had access
to the land those who are willing to
work could produce more than enough
for their essential needs.
1.-The working class has produced all
the property of the world, but owns
little of what it's labor has brought into
being, and this is due to legislative
chicanery and legerdemain.
Burden of offcialdom
This truth is most clearly seen and
can be most definitely applied when 1t
comes to the matter of taxation. Here
the whole cumbrous governmental ma
chine has to be sustained and count
less officials supported, not merely in
idleness, but in vicious activity. Here
we have the armies and navies and
the entire monstrous combination of
governmental institutions, and the cost
of it all has to be borne by the man
who works.
Government is responsible not only
for exploitation but also for the vio-
lence back of that exploitation; for
exploitation could not exist without
governmental sanction. Our greatest
vice is our propensity for making laws.
Government is our greatest crime.
"Most people, Tolstoy adds, are
made to believe that these govern
ments are necessary and good; that
they exist for the benefit and good of
the people and that, If it We're not for
these governments, greater wrongs
would prevail This he denies. He
maintains that all the thefts of the
world committed by individual thieves
sink into insignifcance when COM
pared with the thefts committed by
governments in their taxation of the
people, and that all the murders of the
world are insignificant as compared
with the organized wars of conquest
condoned and justified by the religious
institutions of the times. In other
words, Tolstoy asserts that there would
be infinitely less crime If governments
did not exist
Urges Passive Resistance
What then shall we do? In the first
place, says Tolstoy, you can refuse to
take part in these things. You can
resort to passive resistance; refuse to
pay the taxes that support the gov
ernment and refuse to join the army
that enforces the usurpation and tyr
annies of government. If the people
at large would do this the government
would fall of its own weight.
above all things, so far as you in
dividually are concerned. refuse to
share in this great world crime Meet
your own needs. Become as little as
possible a burden on the labor of 9TH
ers; sacrifice yourself rather than sac
rifice Others
ITO accept the benefits and emo!u-
ments of modern society without q
protest against the tremendous cost is
an ineXcusable crime"
