POPULAR CLERGYMAN
TAKES UP WORK Ar
HOLLYWOOD CHNRCH
Rev. E. P. Ryland Welcomed at Ar
cade Station by Delegation of
Former Members of
Flock

81 am mighty glad to get back to Los
Angeles, l truly am. We were home
sick all the time We were away" said
Rev. E. p. Ryland, one of the most
prominent clergymen of Southern Cal
ifornia as he stepped from the over
land train at the Arcade depot yester-
day noon, accompanied by his family
from Houston. Texas
Rev. Mr.. Ryland has returned to
assume the pastorate of the First
Methodist church Of Hollywood, which
has recently been accepted into the
Southern California Methodist confer
ence from the Methodist church south.
of which Rev. Mr.. Ryland formerly
was a minister, having served at the
Methodist church south of Hollywood
until his departure for Houston last
May. The family returned on account
of the i'll health of Mrs. Ryland, who
had been ill much of the time of her
residence in the south.
At the station yesterday noon was a
large delegation of the Hollywood
church members, who gave their be-
loved pastor genuine surprise party
as he stepped from the train.
A special car from Hollywood had
been chartered to carry the party to
Los Angeles, and at Sixth street an
other special car conveyed the men,
bers to the depot, where it waited to
carry Mr.. Ryland and party back to
Hollywood. Among the party were to
be seen several prominent clergymen,
who extended greetings to the return
ing family.
Seldom has so large a welcome been
extended to a returning pastor as that
carried out for Mr.. Ryland and family
yesterday. Aside from Mr.. and Mrs.
Ryland the party included their three
children, Juliet, Gordon and Mary, and
Mrs. Rylands mother, Mrs NJ. +. Cor
don. They were taken to the home of
Mrs. Ryland's brother, Harry Gordon,
in Hollywood, where they enjoyed their
Thanksgiving dinner.
A parsonage has been furnished for
the family at 2lS North Magnolia ave-
nue.. The church has 800 members and
a site is being considered for the new
church which is soon to be erected.
Rev. Mr.. Ryland will preach his first
sermon Sunday morning in Wilcox hall,
where services will be held until a
church is erected.
A large welcome reception is being
arranged for Rev. and Mrs. Ryland
for Tuesday evening, which VIII also
be held in Wilcox hall. Rev. Charles
Edward Locke and Rev. Matt S.
Hughes will welcome Rev. Mr.. Ryland
into the Methodist conference and Rev.
S. T. Montgomery, Rev. Mr.. Ryland' S
successor as president of the Los An
geles church federation will speak in
behalf of that organization.
Rev. Mr.. Ryland left last May TO
assume the pastorate of the Methodist
church south at Houston, one of the
largest in the denomination, and dur
ing his stay of six months there or
ganized a federation of Protestant
churches after the one organized in
Los Angeles. Mrs Ryland and the
family arrived in the south during
July, since which time she has been
in i'll health, which compelled the re-
turn of the family TO Southern Cali
fornia.
Rev. Mr.. Ryland's reception into the
Methodist Episcopal conference of
Southern California is welcomed as
a strong addition to the local clergy.

SHARE SHAME
OF BARBARISM
MEXICO NOT ALONE IN USE OF
TORTURE
United States Must Purge Her Own
Record to Enable Her to SYM
pathize Truly with the
Oppressed

Much has been written of late con-
cernlng Mexican prisons, and in par
ticular John Murray formerly of Los
Angeles, has recently described in de-
tail that internal den of torture at
San Juan de Ulua, OF which l have
talked frequently with Gutierrez de
Lara and other well informed natives
of that country. We have all been
reading what John Kenneth Turner
also, by the way q. Los Angeles man
has had to say respecting conditions
across the bordtr, and Col Griffith j.
Griffith and the Prison Reform league
have made US fairly familiar with the
fearful history of San Quentin and
other California penal institutions. Is
it not time that some one should call
attention to ,the connection between
these and other revolving features Of
what we call our civilization?
The cat whets the appetite it must
satisfy by playing briefly with its
victim. Beneath the surface of the
ocean war never ceases, but death is
swift and must be practically painless.
Everywhere species prays on species
in the struggle for existence. but
everywhere the deed is dictated by
necessity and COnsummated with mer-
ciful rapidity Man stands apart in
ing periodically to depths such as even
the imagination of Dante failed to
compass.
Wrench yourself for a few minutes
from the isolation of your business
and domestic life, that you may in
spect this civilization on which you
pride yourself The innate cruelty
that binds the child and pregnant wo-
man to the factory wheels that traf
fcs in the White Slave trade; that
herds countless millions in city slums
that hunts the unemployed or the
discharged convict through every nook
and corner of the land; that finds its
daily amusement in reading tragedies
which wreck the lives of those it calls
"brothers"- all these present a picture
unspeakably brutal in its most con-
spicuous outlines. But nowhere is this
brutality so crushingly apparent; no.
where does it haunt itself so brazenly
as in connection with our prisons, and
the methods by which we labor to
stock them to repletion.
Our Modern Purgatory
Before me lies the principal cartoon
in a recent issue of Puck. 1t is en-
titled "The In and Out of Our Penal
System" on the left appear the re-
morseless finger of the law and d
stern-faced jailer, bearing the keys
that mark his miserable calling. He is
thrusting through the gates, which
represent worse purgatory than
ever the Catholic church devised, a
band of youths, on whose outskirts
hangs a weeping woman. On the
right are seen men emerging from the
prison. Bent and tottering they carry
a paper labeled Freedom" and they
face the worlds outstretched and for
bidding palm, whereon is the inscrip-
