welt, when he sailed with his father
for Africa.
The consignment consisted of 125
briar wood pipes, 200 short stem clay
pipes, two dozen long stemmed church
wardens, 500 small packages Of gran
ulated smoking tobacco, 100 tins of
high grade Birdseye, eighty pounds Of

kets which are usually expected from
travellers

Suggests a Commission
81 should like to see a commission
formed of which, perhaps, Judge Will
bur himself might be chairman. This
commission to be composed of leading
ministers and laymen representing all
of the different religious bodies and
sects, to take under consideration the
whole matter of the expediency of re-
storing the Bible to its honored place,
to the extent of using in the schools
certain excerpts from the Bible as
would be approved by representatives
of all the religious bodies-eXcerpts
which would be without any sectarlan
bias or denominational trend-and thus
not any longer deprive the youth of
California of the Wholesome influence
of the literature and ethical standards
of the book which our nation at large
recognizes as the bulwark of its hb-
erty.
"Will not some wise man suggest the
preliminary steps which should be
taken to produce this beneflcent result -?
[ understand that the attorney general
of California has delivered an opinion
that under the present state law the
Holy Bible cannot be used in our
schools"

SOUNDS WARNING OF
DUTY TO THE STATE
President of Throop Polytechnic lnstl-
tute Says Christians Should Use
the Principles of the
Savior

''We are guilty of personal neglect of
our civic duties which results in po-
litical corruption. We should urge the
best men for office regardless of their
excuses of personal nature. We
should take more heed to our civic du-
ties for the publication of politics. 1t
Is the duty of Christians to use the up
lifting principles of our Savior"
These were the expressions of Rev.
DR.. James B. Scherer president of
Throop Polytechnic institute, at the
Temple auditorium yesterday morning.
He took as his topic Jesus, the Teach
err" with the text from Matthew,
xxii:20-21. He said in part:
81 speak of Jesus as the great teach
er. He was homely and unlearned and
spoke briefly to the people as chance
trations of everyday life, giving the
teachings that have been handed down
to the present time. They are uplift-
ing and give majesty with our inf
mite God.
Jesus told us Of love and qualified
it with its unity between God and man.
He built up kingdom such as none
other could do while men were and are
bound together in the strength of his
great power. He was greater than So
crates. Socrates prevailed upon men
to lead them into ignorance and con-
fusion, but Jesus led men to question
him for satisfactory answers. His
plain, straightforward statement to
Nicodemus had a stimulating effect.
1.-THE enemies of Jesus admitted that
never man spoke as he did The
Pharisees and Herodians tried to en-
tangle him, but he sustained himself
by rendering unto Caesar the things
which were Caesars and unto God the
things that were Gods. This has been
the great strength of his power leading
down through the ages-to teach alert
citizenship the strength of his charac-
ter.
Conscience often makes a coward
of a person. The handwriting on the
wall is plainly written there, but con-
science writes it out of it's RESPONSE
bility as much as possible.
1.-THE Psalms of David gave praises
in the olden times, and why should we
not give more praise in this time of
electricity, steam and all the improve
ments incident to the enlightenment of
the world? The dark side, however,
comes in with all the powers that be.
The generation of suffering is ever in
our midst, and 1t stands us well in
hand to look to Jesus as a motive
power that we may be the sons of God.
If Jesus were only a man / would
cleave to him, but as he Is God / swear
total allegiance to him."

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
IN MAYORALTY RACE
DR.. ]. w. JONES ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY
Organizer of Celtic Club and Proml.
nent Here for Twenty-Five Years,
Listens to Appeal of His
Friends

Prominent oldtimers in Los Angeles
have united in asking DR.. j. w. Jones
to enter as a candidate for mayor, and
the Shoquoquon club has joined with
them by an official request, which was
presented to DR.. Jones al few days
ago.
II have not made any formal answer
to these requests" said DR.. Jones, but
after thinking the matter over l nave
concluded to announce my candidacy
When the first requests came to me
refused to consider it, but they have
been followed up so strongly that L
told the Shoquoquon club delegation L
would shoulder the responsibility or
making the race. l have never sought
or held office in Los Angeles, but nave
always kept closely in touch with the
progress of the city from the little
town that was here when I arrived
l1p to the present day. I think my posi-
tion on civic matters is well known to
the older residents of Los Angeles"
DR.. Jones is a native of Pennsylvania
but has lived in Los Angeles for a
quarter of a century, In that time he
has resided in the northern, eastern,
southwestern and southeastern sections
of the city and consequently has an
intimate acquaintance with the diff
ferent needs of each of these sections
outside of that which would generally
come to the residents who have helped
the city grow up.
He organized the Celtic club and
was prominent in the organization of
the Sequoia club. When the committee
was formed to provide for the enter
tainment of DIR. Douglas Hyde at the
time of his visit and lecture here DR..
Jones was made it's secretary. He has
taken an active part in movements
which have brought together the old
timers or have preserved their mem
ories.

GODS GREAT ORGAN
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Rev. Edwin r. Brown Delivers the
Evening Address at the
Temple Baptist
Church

1t Temple Baptist church last night
Rev. Edwin r. Brown preached upon
'Divine Harmonies from Gods Great
Organ" He spoke in part as follows:
"To my mind, music is a striking proof
of the truth that Christianity is the
final religion. Why has not Taoism,
Buddhism, Confucianism or any other
ethnic religion given expression to itself
in music? Why is it that Christianity
alone so expresses itself? Christianity
is the true solution of this tangled ex-
perience we call life.
"Sicence is discovering that the phe-
nomena of light and heat, color, sound
and electricity are but varying phases
of some common vibrating force. When
these vibrations are harmonious the
effect is positive; when the vibrations
are inharmonious, the effect is negative.
The human mind is constructed in ac-
cordance with this environment. The
expression Two hearts that beat as
one is but an indication of this need
of sympathetic vibration which pro-
duces harmony.
"In other words, discord is caused by
wrong relations. Nations live in peace
and harmony so long as their relations
are right. Here is the secret of the dis
cord between capital and labor. Some
thing is wrong in their relations. Their
interests are not common, they do not
vibrate together for one purpose, hence
they are not harmonious. Each seeks
it's own and not the others good, and
the only solution of the labor problem
is to be found in new relations based
upon Jesus Christ.
For the same reason homes are un-
happy and scandal and divorce increase.
The husband and wife are not working
in harmony, and from the sacred rela-
ton which should echo divine harmony
there come only quarrelings Of parents
and the shrill weeping of children. The
only solution of these problems is in
each individual getting into harmony
with God. When we let Jesus raise
the pitch of our lives up to tie tone OF
his own life 1t becomes filled with rarest
rapsodies.
"I have conceived of this universe as
Gods great organ. Each one of us is a
vibrating reed, a pipe played upon by
the breath of God. The grand triumphal
chorus of eternity is already sounding
forth, the morning stars sing together,
the birds and the insects praise God
with their music, and I can imag gine
the Infinite Ear listening for the divine
music which should echo from our lives.
What kind of tone are you sending
forth? If you are right with God the
pitch OF your life will be in harmony
with the grand alleluia chorus"

THESE ARE QUIET DAYS FOR
LOS ANGELES FOLlCE JUDGE

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 5.-The first week
of the Los Angeles police court in the
city hall here has been a quiet one.
Four cases We're brought before
Judge Rose for trial. The first drunk
was turned loose, as he had the honor
of being the first victim of the new
regime. Two disturbers of the peace
pleaded guilty and paid $5 each, and a
drunk received a five-day sentence
The total for the week was $40 and a
sentence of five lays.
This was too much for Judge Rose;
the quietude around the city hall was
oppressive. Even with a fishline over
the wharf he could not be content and
he returned to the busy court room at
the center of Greater Los Angeles well
content to let Judge Warren L. Will
liams bring his court No. down here
next week for brief rest.
