A Close Call.

Saturday, while crossing the
railroad track at the foot of jack
son street in Brunswick, Mrs. G..
H. Jansen and children, Misses
Mary and Emma and Master
Girard. experienced a narrow es i.
cape. At this point it is almost
impossible to see an approaching
train, owing to the fact that C.E.
Lea's residence obstructs q clear
view of the track.
They had driven almost to the
track when the fast mail came
dashing along The team which
the occupants of the buggy were
driving became unmansgeable
and began rearing and trying TO
turn around when Miss Mary,
with her usual presence of mind,
sprang from the up. setting We.
hiole and gained access to the
bits, thus preventing the horses
from making another and prob.
ably fatsl lunge.
The buggy was seriously dam
aged, but the occupants escaped
unipjured.

jamb and knocked a small sec I.
ton of epidermis from our
physiognomy.
There were no further hostili.
ties and we came on into the
office, and Montgomery hiked
across the street, looking back
as he went, doubtless to see il we
were not coming out with some
sort of a weapon.
1t is our very G a r d / d
opinion that Montgomery needs
a geDteel whipping and he would
undou htedly get if we only had
the physical ability to give it TO
him, but we guess we were bulls
for lighter work and will have to
sublet the job of thrashing him.
We are further of the opinion
that any public official who can't
stand criticism of his official acts
is a mighty light weight, while
an official who makes use OF the
language he did to US is dis
grace to the marty that honored
him with an office.

The Prohibition Rally.

A grand rally, the first gun
fired in this county for stste.
wide prohibition, took place at
the Nj. E. church, South, in Key
tesville Wednesday afternoon at
2 O'Clock and again at 1880 in
the evening.
notwithstanding the disagree.
able weather there was a good
attendance and the local adhe.
rents of statewide prohibition
were very enthusiastic.
The meeting was presided over
by Judge VIM H. Wallace of
Kansas City, who had been
chosen to organize the forces and
lead the prohibition fight in this
state.
Speeches were made in the
afternoon by Judge Wallace,
Judge G. o. Nations of Farming

Advocate, ST. Louis. Aside
from Judge Nations compli.
mentary reference to ex Cover
nor JOS. W. Folk, who has pub.
lioly declared his opposition to
prohibition in this state, the
three speakers named ali ac.
Quilted themselves with much
credit.
At the evening Assem- blsgc the
church was packed to hear
"CycIone" Davis of Texas, who
for originality of thought, unique
expression and forceful argument
clearly proved his process ss a
temperance man and prohibition
advocate. In shcrt, he made q
rip. roaring speech, but at times
INDUCED in many beautiful
flights of oratory that were, per-
haps, better received than some
of his less elegant language.
"Cy yolone" is q hard hitter and
flays the enemy alive, leaving
them not even as mu oh as a pin
point on which to stand.

PLAN A HOME FOR COUNTY
HOSPITAL CONVALESCENTS
Sold for 10 Cents Each to
Raise Fund

The City Missionary society of the
Episcopal diocese of Los Angeles is
endeaVoring to establish st. Barnabas
house, opposite the county hospital, for
the purpose of assisting and befriend-
ing the inmates of the hospital during
convalescence and to help in the work
of placing discharged patients in posi-
tions where they will be able to care
for themselves
The society has issued a pamphlet
setting forth the plans and aims of
the work.
A lot opposite the entrance can be
secured for $500, about half it's value,
from a member of the society, and each
foot is to be sold for 10 cents, these
shares in the work furnishing funds to
purchase the lot. After that is accom-
plished it is the plan to erect build
ing where the patients can be invited
to rest, play games, write letters and
get a change from the hospital atmos-
phere, and where services may be held
sundays both for patients and nurses.
1t is thought that a permanent m
Auence can be secured with many peo-
ple through this plan.
The City Missionary society has JUST
.ssued the first number of its monthly
periodical known as The Open Door.
Rev. I. C. Marshall is superintendent
Of the society and is heading the new
movement

is that Gods universe is not laWless'
but ruled by eternal and immutaple
laws; and that when he pronounced
that the works of overcoming sin ana
sickness were the works of God, that
he thereby necessarily taught that
those works can be successfully ac-
complished now as aforetime. What
was true nineteen centuries ago, Is
true today and forever.

own lives and homes that the restored
Christian method of overcoming SIN
and sickness is trustworthy. The op-
ncnents of Christian Science are those
who Judge of it, not from practical eX,
periences, but from theories of denial
and negation based on their pref
udicate opinions. Such theories nave
always been arrayed against progress
and have always, more or less ae-
ceived and misled mankind.

began it's decadence. These converts
brought with them many of their old
notions, and adulterated Christianity
with them; Just as they brought with
them many of their pagan cere-
monials. This was but natural, and,
perhaps, even inevitable. The myth
ologies of Greece and Rome had
taught those converts that there are
many gods, some of them evil, some
OF them good They believed that to
their evil desires were to be described
the ills of poor humanity, including
our physical sicknesses. This means
that our physical sicknesses are Of
deific origin. When they became
rnonotheists instead OF polytheists they
retained this notion of the divine
origin of evil. And until the advent of
Christian Science this was not ques-
toned either by Catholics or Protes-
tants How many of you have heard
from Christian clergymen, especially
or funeral occasions, when reference
was made to sickness and death, that
there were mysterious dispensations
of divine Providence?' With this false
hood in ones conscience the Chris
ton healing is impossible. We must
understand that sickness is no more
of God than is sin, in order to know
the truth and for the truth to make
us free, as Jesus taught.
christian Science affirms the Scrip
tural teaching that God is life. II
God is the life-creating and ltfe-pre-
serving principle, is not God also the
principle of health and harmony? Are
laws of disease and discord consistent
with the divine nature as life? Are
such laws a part of the divine encon-
omy in creating and preserving life?
Are not all such believed-in laws the
falsehoods from which the truth alone
can deliver us?
christian Science teaches us, as
does the Bible that God is love. Di-
vine love is the motive of creation,
and all that really exists must there
fore reflect divine love, not deihc
hate, malice, cruelty, or injustice. Dl-
divine will. Is the sick man further
away from Gods loving care than the
sinner?

FUNDS ON HAND TO
PAY FOR RECEPTION
entertainment OF TAFT
COST ABOUT $4,000
Members of Executive Committee in
Charge of Welcome to Presi-
dent Expect to Show Small
Balance to Good

Entertaining President Taft during
his two days visit to Southern Calitor-
MIA cost in round figures $4,000, and,
according to unofficial statements made
by officers Of the chamber of commerce
yesterday afternoon, the funds neces-
sary to liuuidate every bill are in hand.
If anything, a small balance will be lett
after paying every account.
At o'clock this afternoon the eXecu-
tive committee in charge of the presl-
dents reception will hold a meeting
when all bills will be audited and
checks made for all creditors. Until
that time no statement of the various
costs will be given out officially. Al
first it was thought that there would
be a balance of about $1,000, but a host
of bills, legitimate but unexpected,
poured in upon the committee, WlplnS
out all hope of q balance.
The four largest items of expense are
the banquet at Shrine auditorium the
decorations there and upon the streets,
and the two special trains, one to san
Pedro and the other around the kite
shaped track. So far as is known there
will be no charge made for the use OF
automobiles, as owners were only too
pleased to offer their machines for use
free.
The greater portion of the expense at
Riverside will be borne by the cham
ber of commerce of that city, although
there are some items which the Los
Angeles chamber will be called upon
to pay.
Returns from banquet tickets are all
in, so that it now is merely a matter
of checking up bills and writing checks
in order to close up the financial end
of the presidents visit.

mandments,' surely he meant all of his
commandments, and not merely that
part of which ecclesiastics see proper
to find to be convenient. Jesus gave
the promise, not confining 1t to any age
or land: He that believeth in me,
the works that 1 do shall he do also.
No reservation or qualification can be
interpolated. Christian Science has been
successfully demonstrating for over
thirty years now, that the promises of
Jesus were true and trustworthy, not
false or impractical. It has VIGOROUSLY
shown that there are no tncurable' dis
eases, Just as Jesus healed all manner
of sickness and all manner of disease
If the works in overcoming them are
the works of the Father, as Jesus de-
clared, then to classify some diseases
as 'incurable' would be to affirm that
God is not omnipotent. Jesus never
classified as durable and incurable, or
otherwise, just as he never referred to
drugs or other material remedies. lie
taught a process which was spiritual
not material. He proved it to be de
pendable. He proved it to be the right
way Thereby he proved 1t to be the
only safe and true way. Profound stu
dents and earnest humanltarlans nave
been seeking another way for many
centuries; but modern materia medlca
still remains experimental, and is thus
far 1t begins with the wrong initia-
tive, that man is to be doctored as
physical rather than as a spiritual be-
ing. Material medicine was of pagan
origin, is materialistic in its doctrine
and practice. 1t never refers to God, or
to man as a spiritual being. But the
followers of Jesus. until the fourth cen
tury of our era, successfully healed the
sick according to the Christian way
therefor. History proves this fact
Christianity Adulterated
How, then, did the Christian way
of healing the sick pass into practical
dlsuse for so many centuries, If 1t was
