SUFFERING DEVELOPS
HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
Prolonged Pain Must Be Endured to
Unfold to Human Intellect the
knowledge of Order Of
Nature

"Why Does God Permit Suffering?"
was the subject on which Rev. J. e.
Colon spoke last evening at the New
Jerusalem Christian church. In part,
he said:
Evils are of two kinds, physical and
moral. Inseparately associated with
these are two corresponding forms OF
suffering. Evil, with its consequent
suffering, consists in a want of ad-
justment with ones circumstances. AS
human beings, our circumstances are
of two classes-those belonging to the
three kingdoms of nature and those
connected with human society.
1.-The faculties that distinguish man
from the lower animals are free will
and reason, and thus morality and re-
ligion. The world order is designed to
transform our thinking capacity, that
in mind we may become images of
divine wisdom and the social order
Is meant to educate the affections of
the heart, that they may become like
nesses of Gods loving kindness.
1.-THE loftiest generalization OF the
istic evolution is that the great world
process exists for the sake of society
of. human souls living under a perfect
moral law, that is for the sake of the
kingdom of heaven. All things in the
universe look to one grand human aim
the production of reverent and I'M
selfish character.

developed as to know the order OF

He will be greatly missed when it
comes to the usual contests that are

He will leave the automobile business

SCORES RACE TRACKS,
FIGHTS AND SALOONS
Declares Largest Part of All City
Crime Can Be Traced Directly
to These Three
Sources

Rev. Reynold e. Blight, minister of
the Los Angeles Fellowship, severely
scored race track gambling and prize
fighting in an address before the Fell
lowshtp audience that crowded Blanch-
ard hall yesterday morning.
1.-THE race track, the prize fights and
the open saloon are reproach to
Southern California" said Mr.. Blight
land no good citizen should rest until
these three blots are removed. They
are centers of crime and every kind of
immortality. Twice within a year the
chief Of police in this city has request
ed the city council to provide for an
increase OF the police force, and every
observing man knows that by far the
largest part of our crime is directly
traceable to these three sources. 1t is
a financial, a commercial, and a moral
blunder to support these vice-breeding
institutions. Every taxpayer is pay
ing his quota to the support of these
institutions in the large municipal ex-
penses for the maintenance of order
and the prosecution of crime. Good
government is impossible while these
institutions exist. Morally they are
indefensible. They are cesspools of
iniquity and the overflow pollutes the
whole community.
Los Angeles is a city of homes, and
these three institutions menace the pu-
rity and integrity of every home in the
city. Los Angeles has no saloons, no
prize fighting and no race track is
slogan that would attract a hundred
thousand eastern home makers within
a year. The first cut must be the race
track, then the prize ring, and then
the saloon"
After this prelude Mr.. Blight deliv-
cred an address on 1.-THE New Thought
and the Old Theology"
1.-THE popular theology rests upon
three fundamental doctrines: the fab
of man, the immutable justice of God,
and the belief in an eternity of re-
wards and punishments. Prove any
one of these false and the whole theo-
logical structure falls in ruins. Sci
ence has demonstrated that man never
fell, but is constantly rising He comes
from the mud, but he goes toward the
stars. While the justice of God is a
terrific fact, the love of God is greater.
His laws cannot be broken with inn
punity, but his love surrounds his JUS
tice. The threat of he'll can no longer
terrorize man, nor can a promise of
a future heaven bride him into being
decent.
1.-THE new thought teaches that man
is saved not by holding a correct opi1-
ion, but by character; not by the death
of a demi-god, but by conservation to
ones best knowledge. Conduct is the
test, not belief. Salvation can be at
tanned not by morbid introspection, not
by agonies, but by a persistent effort
to follow the gleamY and self-denying
effort to save the world. Individual
salvation cannot be attained separate
from social salvation"

SAYS THERE'S BALM
FOR ALL BANkRUPTS
MINISTER TELLS OF OUR MANY
DEBTS
Pastor of Temple Auditorium Takes
His Text from Parable Dealing
with the Creditor
Class

Pastor Robert ]. Burdette preached
on the topic, Balm for Bankrupts," at
Temple Baptist church last night, TAX
ing for his text Luke 1876: How much
owest thou unto my Lord?" How
much owest thou? What a world of
debtors we arel In the parable of our
Lord from which the text is taken,
the creditor class consists of just one
mantle rich proprietor. All the
others were debtors, even the steward.
There is no creditor class in the Bible.
The word is never mentioned In the
plural-never but once, and that is in
sermon wherein it is mentioned, as
a thing utterly impossible, as creditors
of jehovah But debtors are mem
toned in swarnls, and in most of the
cases where O debtor is mentioned in
the singular he is a helpless debtor.
Four times debtor is thus mentioned.
In one instance he has given a pledge
to secure his debt-he is under q cut
throat mortgage And Paul says: L
am debtor both to the Greeks and Bar
barians, both to wise and foolish;
whole communities Of creditors of all
sorts and conditions against one poor
Christian man. And again he writes
to the Galatians that If a man refuses
the liberty of Christ he is debtor to
do the whole law. The debtor is every
where tremendous majority and has,
nevertheless, no influence whatever
with the administration. The trouble
is that he isn't counted. He is not
only in debt but he is servant to the
man he owes. Poor debtor--so helpless
he Is that Christ weaves the forgive
ness of God into the model prayer,
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive
our Debtors That is, forgiving
debtor is as God forgives a sinner,
you and me, for instance. We are
bankrupt race. There is no way where
by we can ever pay our debt to God.
Either he lovingly forgives us, or it
stands against us forever. 1t will
never be paid. 1t is very hard to pay
a moral obligation between man and
man. We can pay for borrowed money;
that has a market value. So has land.
Among the old Jews, only poor men
borrowed. Debt was an exceptional
misfortune, always emitting the bor-
rover to assistance, save when it was
considered punishment for sin. Large
loans of money or purchases of credit
did not occur as ordinary or natural
incidents of trade. The Jews were
forbidden to lend on interest to their
poor brethren. But they might col
lect it of strangers. Twenty-Five hun
dred years before Christ the usual
rate of interest among some of the
heather nations was 20 per cent, as
shown on some Babylonian contract
tablets; though some contracts are
made at ii 2-3 and IS 1-3 per cent, with
sixty day loans at 10 per cent. In
Athens, in the classical period, 10 to
20 per cent was the legal rate of inter-
est. In Rome, 1-3 and 10 per cent,
with a decline at the beginning of the
Christian era. Times weren't much
easier for the poor man among the
heather, nor away back in the good
old times which never existed. And,
if he didn't pay his debts, back in
the good old times he was far more
liable to be hanged, very promptly,
than he is now if he merely murders
few people,"

nature and to adjust itself thereto
there must needs be great and wide
spread suffering. The only way to es-
cape such evils is to gradually learn
| the lessons God designs. We suffer
and prematurely die for lack of knowl-
edge, nor can this science be gained
except by thinking in accordance with
stow nationality on us in any other
way. He therefore commands uS to
subdue nature.
LAS the world order is meant to
train our God-given faculty of reason,
SO the social order is designed to call
forth and refine the sentiments of the
heart. Moral goodness implies moral
evil, and both are relative; for we
rise on stepping stones of our dead
selves to higher things To one who
is morally growing, the good of today
will be evil tomorrow, for as the ethical
ideal advances, imperfections in our
selves and others come to view. Social
evils and sufferings spring from a
want of conformity to the perfect
moral law-the golden rule and the
new commandment. To find ones de-
light in living for others is the end
contemplated in our subsection to social
discipline, in the home, the church and
the state. God cannot purify the heart
and I'LL 1t with the tenuer mercleS Oh
his love without this social scheme.
"It therefore must be evident that
the reason why God permits suffering
is, that without 1t he cannot drive man
to the intellectual conquest Of nature,
and thus to sharing of his wisdom;
nor to life of self-denying service
for others, and so to a participation in
the blessedness of his tender mercies.
Suffering is the incidental back
ground in the great art-work of char
acter building. All virtues exist in con-
trast with vices. Out of chaos comes
order, out of sorrow, happiness out of
evil, good Christian virtue is the
product of overcoming evil and its
sufferings."

more exalted thought about them than
the world has ever known. If you will
get a copy of Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures written by Mrs.
Eddy, and read her definition of God
on page 587, and of Christ on page bSa
thereof, you will never again question
the exalted position accorded them In
the teachings OF Christian Science.
Probably nothing has been more
misunderstood by people than the state
ment made by Christian Scientists that
fact are nothing but false belief! When
this statement is understood 1t STANDS
out in bold relief as honoring God by
recognizing in deed, as well as word,
His omnipotence, omniscienee, and ON
nipresence; as Good, wherein there is
neither elemental evil nor a consecutive
