ANOTHER ExTRAvAeANcE

For half a day the man from the

town streets, studying the skyline of
high buildings.
1T guess you don't have anything like
that out your way, eh?" said a New
York acquaintance.
We've got the buildings, all right"
said the westerner, but we have no
people who are so blamed fools as to
paint their names on the tenth story
windows. All the high buildings in this
town have the names of business firms
spread over the windows clear up to the
top floor. They don't do that in any
other city in the United States. Out
west we'd call it a foolish waste of
money to paint the names higher up
than the fifth story. They don't do any
good above that. Nobody can see them
without putting his neck out of joint
looking skyward, and very few people
feel inclined to do that"

MUSICAL SERVICES AT
LOSANGELESCHURCHE
At First Presbyterian Quartet Under
Direction of Mrs. VoIney Beardsley
Renders Many Beautiful
Selections

AT the First Presbyterian church,
Twentieth and Figueroa, the quartet
under the direction of Mrs. Volney
Beardsley, sang some interesting
music.
The morning service contained an
anthem of Biederman's on the familiar
words "Abide With Me-" Beginning
with a beautiful contralto solo, sung
by Miss Marie Thomas, it closes with
the ntire quartet singing a new har-
monization of the old hymn tune,
which is very effective.
The second number was Schueclser S
Onward Christian Soldiers" AT the
evening service the anthem was Spiel
ser's 1.-The Sun Goes Down." and Miss
Thomas and Paul Ritner sang For
ever with the Lord" by Gounod.
The quartet is composed of Mrs. Vol
ney Beardsley soprano; Miss Marie
Thomas, contralto; Paul Pitner, BARI
tone, and Mr.. Day, tenor. Miss Eliza
beth Leane is the organist.
The First Christian church choir is
under the direction of Leroy Jepson,
with a male quartet, including Leon
" Shaw, Hal K. Miller, Charles w.
Hatch and Mr.. Jepson. Mrs. Anne
Mottram-C Craig, whom many will re-
member through her service at the
same church several veal ago, is the
soprano soloist, and Miss Madge Pat
ton Is the organist. Mrs. Craig's solo
in the morning was Coenen's Come
Unto Me-" and in the evening abide
with Me-" by Burnett. The quartet
numbers were 'The ProdiSal Son. by
Parks, and Hold Thou My Hand"
by Sullivan.
The introduction of a male quartet,
while not unheard of, is something of
novelty in Los Angeles, as most of
the churches have either a mixed quar-
tet or a chorus. Miss Patton's num-
bers were "In Paradisium," Dubois:
Invocation" Dubois; Song of a
Hero" Volkmann, and "Postlude in F."
by Roberts.
The quartet at the First Unitarian
church from its long and friendly as
sociation has arrived at a point where
it does most satisfying and artistic
work. Johan Haze Finch, the tenor.
sang solo from Gades Crusaders.
inspired, doubtless, by the forthcoming
production of the entire work under
the direction of r. Paulin.
Mr.. Zinch has sung this part under
the baton of the composer in his ma
tive country and works con amore.
The ensemble number was Life I'm
Thine eyes" by West.
Mrs. Frank Colby, Miss Beresford
Joy, Mr.. Zinch and Charles Bowes
compose the quartet. Miss McGlashan

vacant by the death of E. S. Fuller.

PASTOR TELLS OF THE
IDEAL CHRISTIAN
Superintendent Of Episcopal City MIS-
sion Society Delivers Eloquent
Sermon at st. Marks
Church

"The ideal Christian is not the man
with staff in hand, with his face set
toward the Celestial city and the City
of Destruction behind him, but the
man who is trying to bring the Holy
City down out of heaven from Cod"
said Rev. T. c. Marshall, rector of
st. Marks church, and superintendent
of he Episcopal City Mission society
yesterday morning in an eloquent SER
mon at st. Johns church. He said:
"The greataest question of modern
life is what to do with the city. The
city is here with it's many horrors
disease, ignorance, immortality, ugli-
ness, irreligion. We may as well face
the fact that 1t is here to stay. The
same forces which have made 1t will
also perpetuate it; the invention Of
agricultural machinery and the de-
velopment of the factory system. The
problem of the city must be solved in
the city; not elimination, but regener-
alton must be the method.
I'm the regeneration of the city the
church must take the lead. Social
service is the main business of the
church. Ye are the salt of the earth,
ya are the light of the world, was
Jesus announcement at the first col
lective gathering of his disciples. No
other existing agency can do for the
man of the city what the church can
do-minister not to one side, but to
every side of his nature-body, mind,
heart, spirit.
Take Place in City
'Tt is in order that we may take
our place as a social force in the city
of Los Angeles that there has been
formed the Los Angeles City Mission
society of the Episcopal church. 1t
has four departments. First, relief
department for the administering of
charity in those cases which, having
no claim upon any one parish or mis-
sion, yet have been touched in some
way by the work of our church Un-
known. applicants for relief are to be
referred by the various rectors and
people of the congregations to the CEN
trail bureau, where their claims will be
Investigated and the appropriate treat
ment given. This department works
in close conjunction with the Asso-
ciated Charities.
"Second-Social service department.
This has already work at three GEN.
ters, the Church of the Neighborhood
Settlement, Ninth and Wilson streets;
Neighborhood industrial school, 1928
East Fourteenth street, and some class
and club work in Connection with ST.
Marks church. 1t expects to eXtetnd
this work into other districts as re-
sources permit.
''Third-Missionary department for
religious work of special kinds espe-
cially In connection with the public
institutions. Services are held at the
clay Jail, and discharged prisoners are
helped with temporary employment.
Plans are under way for regular visit
ing at the county hospital. and for
stated services at the county farm.
Services and a sewing school are con-
Quoted for colored people.
"Fourth-Educational department for
the diffusion of information and edu-
cation of workers and of the public,
through publication, lectures and ad-
dresses, direction of Investigations and
the establishment of a social service
library"

FIRST DAY OF LOVE
RED LETTER ONE FOR MEN
New Pastor Shows How Our Charac-
ters Are Never Perfect Until
We Receive Vision from
on High

Rev. Frank J. Munday, the new pas
tor of the Bethany Presbyterian
church, preached to a large congre-
cation at that church yesterday morn
ing on John" DIR. Munday took his
text from John xiii, 23, and dwelt at
length upon the character of John.
He said in part:
I'VE see John leaning on the bosom
of Christ, on man and God, for Christ
was a man and Christ was also God.
He showed his great trust in Pesus
and followed the Christ as every man
should find Christ and follow him.
After Johns faith had suffered a brief
eclipse his nature spoke forth the
stronger in profound confidence. The
red letter day for men is the day when
love enters their lives, not when they
make money.
Through John we see that man can
be reconciled to Jesus and God and to
man and brother. Our character Is
never perfect until we get a vision Of
God.
Christ poured out blood from the
time he was in the manger on the
rough lumber until his lifes blood on
Calvary. He was wounded for our
transgressions and the chastisement of
our peace was upon him."

SAYS CHILDREN SHOULD
BE ADMITTED TO CHURCH

"The Children for Christ" was the
topic of Rev. A. NJ. Prewitt, pastor
of Calvary Presbyterian church, last
evening. He said In part:
"Christ's love for the children was
seen when he caressed them and said:
Suffer them to come unto me-
"How young can they become Chris
tians? AS soon as they know what sin
is and that another can bear their
punishment.
THE Moravians train their children
from infancy in the church so that not
one in ten of them can remember when
they were not Christians.
"By showing the photograph of an
absent father and talking about him
an English mother taught her child to
love the father it had never seen. Why
teaching about the unseen Christ win
the child's love and faith in him?
From a babe Timothy had known
the Scriptures that made him wise unto
salvation. If diligently taught they
may become Christians much younger
than most people think.
"How young should they unite with
the church? That depends on the train
ing and intelligence of the child. Some
of them know more about God and the
way of life at 6 than others at three
score and ten. The church is not a
scholastic institution into which only
scholars can be admitted, but school
for head and heart into which babes
in Christ are welcome.
zone church had rule barring out all
under IA years of age. But when one
of Christ's little ones looked through
her tears and said: Jesus would not
treat me so. He says Suffer little
children to come unto me- the pastor
exclaimed Away with all these rules
which conflict with Christ's word"

MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHTS"
SUBJECT OF SERMON
1--WE Should Honor Dead" Says Min
lister, "as There Is No Better In
dication of a Nations
Greatness"

The sacred concert given last night
at the Holy Cross church as a prelude
to the lawn fete to be opened today
was decided success. An elaborate
musical program was rendered under
the direction of Rev. Thomas F. F'ahey,
the pastor including solos, quartets
and choruses. Miss d. V. Fahey, the
soprano soloist, rendered several solos
in an artistic manner, assisted by the
choir.
Rev. DR.. Cotter, vice rector of the
Blessed Sacrament church, preached an
eloquent sermon, taking for his topic
Memorial Day Thoughts" He said in
part:
1--WE should show honor to the dead
and remember them with patriotism,
for blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord All nations in proportion
to their civilization show honor to their
hero dead. There is no better indica-
ton of a nations greatness than in
the manner in which it remembers it's
heroic dead.
Yesterday we remembered in an es-
pecial way in honoring those who died
for the nation. 1t Is we'll to hold up
before our children the heroic dead of
the nation for them to initiate and as
an example for them.
Cast Glance Backward
"It is well for us to stop and con-
slider and cast a glance backward and
forward what we have and what we
are to do. We look back over 100 years
of national life of which which there
is much to be proud and we look to
the next century where many great
questions are to be met Any thought
full man who has read history will know
that there are two qualities absolutely
necessary for any nation-patriotism
and religion. Love of country and of
God go hand in hand. The love of
country and of God should be taught
as the love to parents. There is a ten
dency to put religion in lower place
and it is a dangerous tendency for all
civilization and order rests on moral
law. Patriotism and religion are twin
sisters.
"On this church there floats the flag
and there is the cross, and so it teaches
that patriotism and religion go hand
in hand"
The lawn fete will be opened this
evening with addresses by the mayor
and prominent speakers, and will con-
tinue each afternoon and evening until
Thursday.
