Hence they have frankly suggested it

admi:er of Mrs. Dimes, who, as I have
told Sou, is IN admirable woman and

probably considered my admiration to
be devoid of reverence, which is not
the case. There are besides these

I had scarcely reached the office be-

John on the Isle of Patmos.


There are doubtless causes in every
home to be thankful if we but inst
hunt them up. The rich man can
thank God that he is no richer and
the poor man, that he is no poorer,
the liberal man, that lie has been
shown opportunities TO do good with
the talents he has been entrusted
with, the thrlftless, that our rich
country yields so bouutifully that
there Is little excuse for want in the
land, and the beggar and tramp,
that there are SO many good people
and so few bull dogs. II we but
learn to say from deep down In our
hearts; ''not my will bnt Thine be
done" there is not a home in all this
broad, free land of ours should not
be able to send up prayer Of
thanksgiving.
While the grief stricken people of
Cherry, Ill.,, are mourning their
dead, every Christian home under
the same flag, is mourning with
them and too, with a sympathy that
is making its self felt in the care
and future comfort of the hundred 5
of newly made widows and fatherless
children, and they have cause to
be thankful that at least, some of
their loved ones were saved and that
there were great loving, big hearted,
brave men that went the limit, ex-
employing what the Master meant
when he said Greater love hath no
man than this, that he lay down his
life for his friend" when they went
hundreds of feet into the bowels of
the earth to rescue their perishing
comrades. Truly such heroism and
bravery on the part of this rescue is
enough to cause prayers of thanks
giving to ascend to a throne OF trace
that can be felt and heard all over
tia known world.

bringing new people to Hollywood, as
it unquestionably must, the advantage
to people now living in Hollywood is
not to be lightly estimated. On con-
servative basis, there are at least 5UO
people whose business is in Los An
geles who now live in Hollywood, and
who go back and forth on the cars
every day. To these people the cutting
off of ten minutes to put the matter
on conservative basis, on each trip
means a saving of twenty minutes a
day 1t would be extremely conserVa-
tive to place the average earning ca
pacity of these 500 people at $4 day, or
so cents an hour. 1t will be seen, there
fore. that the average saving in time
to each would be of the value of 10 2-3
cents This is equivalent to carrying
these 500 people to and from their busi-
ness free and presenting them with
3 1-3 cents per day, figuring on the basis
of the present cost of Commutation
tickets.
The foregoing are only few OF the
advantages that will accrue to Holly
