where in Los Angeles a man who be-
lieves that the poor are not exploited
to any great extent by the rich. Lis
ten, gentle correspondents, to our un-
accountable friend: "Now please don't
bother to answer this unless you can
quote some recognized authority, CIV
ing chapter and page as the merits"
l would give as recognized authority
his own eyes; chapter, the great out
doors; page, the city of Los Angeles.
Keep at least one eye open as you
walk around. Figure out the amount
of wealth the workmen of Los An
geles produce as near as you can.
Observe how they live.
Apply the same plan to the rich.
Think for yourself. Why does our
friend want to take everything sec
ond-hand when there is so much he
can get first hand?
l suppose if he was out last week,
saw the flooded streets and got wet
to the skin he would want to see 1t in
q recognized authority, like the Los
Angeles Times, before he would be-
lieVe it rained.
If nothing but the printed word will
do l would refer Mr.. Johnson to the
excellent editorials in The Herald.
They explain the exploitation of the
poor by the rich, and give government
statistics to prove their ground. Or
here is something from Census Bulletin
No. 1871 won't give the page, for it
will do Mr.. Johnson good to look over
the whole bulletin. According to this
bulletin each man, woman and child
working in the factories of the United
States in 1890 produced goods to the
value of $500 EACH for which they
received in wages $4S7. The rest went
to swell already swollen fortunes.
According to the census reports the
Standard Oil company employs 10000
men, and if the dividends were divid-
ed equally each man would receive
$1,000 per year. AS they are divided,
John d. Rockefeller receives $42, 100000
for playing golf and studiously avoid
ing his office, while the men who drill
the wells, pump the oil, refine it or
deliver it to your door receive on an
average less than 5000 a year.
Do you think John d. does this
world S400 times more good playing
golf than you do sweating in Michi-
gan grist mill?
You say you are satisfied witn your
$500 year, so 1 suppose you think
you are 1-S400 as valuable to this
world as John ID. Perhaps you are
right. But don't think a man who,
according to his own sworn testimony,
has not been in his office in the last
ten years earns 1867 times more than
men who work twelve or fourteen
hours every day delivering his oil in
this city. L. Q. MILLER.

ANSWERS INQUIRY IN
REGARD TO 1.-THE WOMAN"

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12-[Editor
Herald: The inquiry OF c. A. Lane
in today's Herald concerning the
woman" mentioned in Jer. 31-22 and
lsiah 1910, is vital one and should
be approached in a reverential spirit.
As this prophecy relates to the promise
of the comforter, the spirit of truth,
the Holy Ghost, whom Paul in his
epistle to the Galatians calls the mother
of us all (Gal. 4:26), being one OF the
seven spirits of God (see Rev. SD, the
female immortal spirit, Wisdom" CO.
eternal with the Father, so gracefully
portrayed in Prov. 8.
1t is meet and timely that these
deeper truths should be clearly under
stood. From a former letter Of mine
of August 2 L quote the following
passage:
The spirit of God is again moving on
the face of the waters Cthe nations)
breathing its influence on the under
standing of man."
For she leads in the way of righte-
BUSINESS in the midst of the paths Of
judgments" to cause those that love
her to inherit substance, to inherit the
kingdom of God" q Sam. 2:S and Mat.
25 34). The latter text refers to the
judgment of the quick and living ma
tions, and is already begun.
The new thing referred to in
jeremiah being the oVershadowing the
man of sin" or the natural man, the
sinful man; by the Holy Spirit, leading
him to discern the evil and giving
him strength to show it, causing him
to will and do the good. =
This concept of the woman" as
here given, may seem strange and new
to many Christians who have not given
the subject much thought, yet the
scriptures in many places refer to the
Eternal Spirit" as father" mother
husband" and i'wife."
Our Father which art in heaven
duke 11:2). But Jerusalem which is
above is free, which Is the mother Of
us ALL" (Gal. 4:26 and Psalms 5l:l2)
For thy maker is thine husband" the
Lord of Hosts is his name" Isiah 54:5J.
Therefore take heed to your spirit
and let none deal treaCherously against
the wife of his youth" (Mat. 2:15)
The passage in Isaiah 55:l0 refers to
the work of the mother" in the re-
generation of the sons of God" prior
Ia their manifestation, which Paul de-
clares in Rom. 8:19 to be the earnest
expectation of the creature" An eX-
pectation which shall not perish for
ever" (Psalms 9:1S)
Jesus Sdlu. MY atHSI WI 'NS'i
hitherto, and 1 work" But we learn
from Pauls letter to the Hebrews that
both the Father and the Son hath
ceased from their own works.
For he (Jesus) that is entered into
his rest, he also hath ceased from his
own works, as God (the Father did
from his" (Heb 4:10 and John 2:4)
1t remains for the mother to perfect
those who abide in her.
If the earthen vessel has been in
strumental in making the foregoing
plain to c. A. L. and others who read
il then it is cause for thankfulness to
the "Father." (Mat. 1925 to all con-
cerned. j. r. KITS.

THE FUTURE

RESOLUTION adopted by the
n council shows a distinctly met
"A ropolitan advance in the method
of dealing with city problems. In tu-
ture all tunnels must be two bores,
one for trolley lines the other for pc
destrians and vehicles. This will
serve to lessen to some degree the risk
of accident,
Every undertaking in Los Angeles
should be planned with the distinct
impression this is a city Of over
million in the making.
Much future trouble can be prevented
if people win build today for tomor-
row, and since modern human beings
have had to pay dearly for many of
the mistakes of their ancestors they
should be more inclined to view the fu-
ture with distinct appreciation of their
responsibilities to the men and women
Of the future. The question what has
posterity ever done for us?" was not
very witty, after all.
