''It is almost impossible for a woman
to be an actress and be what true

than on the stage.
1.-THE hardest fight of the twentieth
century for the young men is for purity
and there is no institution on earth that
makes it so hard as the modern dance.

an innocent girl in the partial embrace

bacco smoke into the air I breathe any
more than he has a right to squirt to-
bacco Juice into the water L drink. -
DR.. Torrey.
Theaters. dancing, card playing and
the use of tobacco were denounced yes
terday afternoon by Rev. DR.. r. A.
Torrey. The tabernacle was crowded.
"Who Can Pray So as to Get what
They Aslx?" was the topic of DIR. Tor
rey at this service, and during the
COURSE of his sermon he said:
"Should a person go to the theater,
dance and play cards? We meet these
questions often The whole question
is, viii it please my Father? Many
ask, Does it say in the Bible we shall
not go to the theater, dance or play
cards?' If you are loyal you VIII not
ask that-the question is, will 1t please
the Father?
"Some prayers are very bad-just as
bad as they dare make them, and these
are getting to be the vast majority.
There are others which are not so bad.
Some are positively wholesome.
Actresses Are Scored
"There are some actors and actresses
that are thoroughly rotten morally.
Some, 1 don't question. are Respectable
people. =.
"The stage is an institution, and it
is easy to imagine what 1T might De-
but the question is what it Is
at is almost impossible for woman
to be an actress and be what a true
woman wants to be.
ct know that 1 would rather see
daughter of mine in her coffin than on
the stage.
rs God pleased when he sees any
child of his patronizing an institution
that lowers the character of any inno-
cent girl?
one who dances is not a Christian. L
danced after I was a Christian fool
ish one. but / know that l was Chris
tian.
"If you should see your wife with
another man in the same attitude IN
any other place, excepting the pail
room what would you do? There would
be trouble. How is it that it is not
bad in the ball room, with seductive
music when it is bad without the Sc
ductive music.
''If women who dance could hear men
talk about young women, they would
never dance again.

.ELKS' FIFTH NIGHT
IS BIG SUCCESS
GERMANSAND W00DMEN HOLD
CENTER OF STAGE
Receipts Rapidly Climbing Toward
$4,000 Mark, Which Is Financial
Goal Sought by Carnival
Committee

Having passed the $4,000 mark in
receipts and made excellent progress
on the road to $4,000 the Elks' carnival
closed at midnight last night for it's
fifth days festivities with the COM
mittees in a happy frame of mind.
It remains for the people of Los An
geles to come to the final rallies this
afternoon, tonight and at the grand
finale Monday night.
The Elks need 100000 for their en-
tertainment fund for the grand lodge,
which convenes here in July, 1909. and
the committees expect the carnival at
Shriners' auditorium shall succeed in
raising one-fifth of this fund.
What pleases the management most
is many persons come night after
night. 1t is evident they are not em-
barrassed by the solicitations of the
hundreds of sellers who are discreet
and not persistent in soliciting sales
of tickets, chances and goods. In this
respect the carnival is unique.
No Hoodoo There
Friday the 18th failed to diminish the
attendance at the Elks' carnival last
night and it failed, moreover, to chill
the spirit of investing in chances and
guesses, from which source most of
the revenue for the Elks' 1909 enter
tainment fund is to be derived.
Numbers 13 and 20 in the Elks' world
lose their baneful significance.
The crowds entered at every door
before Z o'clock and at 8 o'clock they
were still coming.
Both the German-American element
in Los Angeles and the adherents of
ifrI,f
represent a large constituency, and as
such it was no wonder that prone
nading was difficult in the aisles and
balconies until after the roped arena
had been opened to the people. Until
the drills were concluded this relief
was not possible.
One of the interesting features of
the show is nearly everyone who de-
parts carries a basket. 1t is evidence
the holders have patronized the coun-
try store, where for 10 cents buyers
find opportunities of securing most
anything in the groceries and food
stuffs line. Most of the buyers take
at least five chances, and as they can
not carry five parcels handily they in
vest an extra dime in basket. For
those who do not want to carry the
goods around there is a special basket
checking department on the balcony.
Final Matinee Today
This Is the last matinee of the car
nival, and it is a fine time for the little
folks to come, since the schools are
closed Saturdays.
A big attendance of young people is
anticipated by the management, and
the program of entertainment has been
arranged for their special pleasure. In
cidentally many special juvenile prizes
will be disposed of this afternoon.
Souvenirs are also promised from
many of the booths.
Extra stocks have been added to the
candy and light drinks boths in antic-
patton of big business there.

century the young men have to race is
the fight for purity, and there is no
institution on earth that makes 1t so
hard as the modern dance.
''Is a holy God pleased when he sees
an innocent girl in the partial embrace
of a man who is a moral leper?
THE evil of cards is not as plain as
that of the theater and of dancing.
Almost every gambler took his first
lesson in card playing at a quiet family
card table. 1 do not know of a gam
bier who does not hate cards. He
knows they were his downfall. The
young man that goes into society with
out knowing how to play cards has a
great advantage.
You mothers and fathers who are
teaching your children to play cards
are bringing them to a gamblers ruin.
LAS for tobacco. You men have been
looking approving-now's your chance"
Some one in the audience called out,
Let it go to-"
MANY nice men smoke" continued
DR.. Torrey. "I know Christian men
who smoke. Does it please.God?
Tobacco Habit Is Selfish
ut is a most selfish habit. No man
can use it without wronging somebody
else. 1t poisons the air for twenty feet
in every direction.
mo man has a right to pump to-
bacco smoke in the air I have to
breathe, any more than he has right
to squirt tobacco juice into the water
drink.
Some people think that anyone can
pray and get what they ask. The
good book tells plainly who can pray
so as to get what they ashland tells
how anyone may. Whatsoever we ask
we receive because we keep his COM
mandments. God demands that we first
listen to him before he listens to us.
If there is one thing in the word Of
God and you don't do it, God will not
listen to your prayers. If you study
the word of God and do what he tells
you, God will listen to your prayers.
Refuge of Lies Is Topic
At the service last night the last for
the first week, DR.. Torrey spoke on
1.-THE Refuge of Lies" The great taber-
nacle was filled to it's fullest capacity,
people being seated in every available
place. including the steps leading to
the rostrum.
DIR. Torrey said in part:
almost every man recognizes he
does need a refuge and almost everyone
has something in which he trusts. 1t
it better to have no hope than false
one, because if you haven't any you
may find a good one.
There are many CHRISTIANS VINO De-
lieve that somewhere, some time, some
how, God will bring all men to re-
pentance.
InfideIity Is Spreading
'Infidelity? I believe that it is
spreading. I have in my pocket a
letter that calls Christ name that 1
cannot repeat. If the man called a
living person such a name he would be
knocked down.
81 have never preached religion in
my life. Religion as a way of saliva
ton is just as bad as morality. Re-
ligion never saved any one. Religion
is entirely different from a personal
Christ.
'I know men who go to church, who
are prominent in the church adm who
in a business deal will cut you every
time That is as bad as the worst
infidel"

DR.. COFER WILL WAR
AGAINST MOSQUITOES

DR.. Cofer, president Of the Board of
Health proposes to recommence the
mosquito campaign vigorously and has
enlisted the cooperation of the county
road and garbage departments in the
work. Without that cooperation. which
was readily promised as soon as the
project was preached, the Board of
Health could do little. being entirely
without funds. As it is it is going to
be a decidedly uphill job to cope with
the mosquito nuisance, which has been
allowed to become bad again.
There is only one way to carry on
any sort of an effective campaign"
said DR.. Cofer on Saturday, in discus
sing his plans. That is by steady,
persistent hard work; by oiling cess
pools and catch basins, by draining
off standing water. by securing the
back yards and rubbish heaps of the
town for tin cans and other vessels
which might harbor places of incuba-
ton for mosquitoes and punching out
the bottoms. There is no short cut, no
easy way to do the work and the only
thing that will help us materially in
this is for the citizens to get in and
do their share towards cleaning up
and oiling.
