GROWN-UPS FEAzED
BY DOUBTS OF TOTS
open-Minded Youngster Is an Arch
Trouble-Ma Maker with Endless
Questions and Enduring
Skepticism

zone open minded child or youth will
make more trouble with his doubts
and questions than a hundred who arc
rs clay in the hands of the potter q"
said Rev. e. Stanton Hodgin, pastor
of the First Unitarian church, yester-
day morning, on THE Faith of Hon
est Doubt" He said in part:
doubt entered the world with the
first ray Of wisdom, and there never
could have been any wisdom or
knowledge or power Of thought if
doubt had not cleared the way for it.
Doubt is as much Il part of all thought
as hydrogen is an essential element Of
water 1t is the only avenue through
which an abstract thought can enter
the mind of man. To think is to COM
pare, to investigate, to put values
upon things But one cannot compare
or investigate or place values upon
things until he has first doubted that
things are what they appear to be,
There could be no discrimination and
no power of choice if doubt did not
clear the way and give one pur-
pose. Doubt is the only thing that fur
nishes a starting point for proof. The
very first qualification of the judge
upon the bench is his ability to hold
his mind in state of honest doubt un-
til the evidence is all in. Unless he
can do this the very name judge is
misnomer. Doubt lies at the basis of
all systems of Justice. The whole
business of selecting jury If it is
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-14

done honest-y is to get twelve men in
a state of honest doubt, for until then
they haven't the capacity to receive
evidence.
ITO ask a question implies a doubt
i'm the mind of the questioner, and it
is the questioning mind that has made
every discovery and that has accom-
plished everything that has been
achieved. Nothing can ever be sub
jected to a trial or to a test until
doubts have first been entertained re-
garding it.
Faith is the soul grip of confidence
with which we seize upon things and
give them a turn forward in the eX-
periences of life. But by no single
grip can we move things very far We
are obliged to reach down for a new
mental grasp for things just as we are
in the physical world. These are the
periods of doubt when we loose that
faith grip on things with which we
have been lifting and go fumbling and
cropping for a new hold This is al
ways a more or less critical and try
ing experience, for We never know
what the new grip of faith is going to
be. but it is just as necessary a part
of our life work as the other, and to
refuse to ever change the faith with
which one seizes upon things is
foolish"

DEGREES INCREASE
IN LIQUOR LICENSE
REV. C. E. LOCKE PROTESTS
AGAINST ORDINANCE
Saloons Strengthen Hold with Every
Additional Dollar They Pay
City Is Gist of Pastors
Statement

DR. Charles Edward Locke at the
First Methodist church yesterday said:
1T is proposed in the new liquor or
dinance now before the city council to
increase the liquor license in Los An
geles. Is this right?
The ancient prophet Numbered out
to Israel, TO the law and to the tes-
timony! What does the law say on
this subject? Woe unto them that
call evil good. and good evil; that put
darkness for light, and light for dark
ness. Woe unto them that are mighty
to drink wine. Which justify the
wicked for reward and take away the
righteousness of the righteous from
him'
Il asked a man prominent in civic
affairs how long the saloons would be
tolerated if they paid no license, and
he replied, Not for one day!' That is
true; and to increase the license, there
fore, strengthens and trenches the
saloon in the Communit". The saloon
is a curse and a public nuisance, and
all high minded citizens feel that it
ought to be closed forever. just as soon
as possible. It is the experience Of
expert temperance workers that to in
crease the license is to correspondingly
increase the difficulty of getting rid of
this unspeakable evil. When the peo-
pie of Louisiana were agitating the
strangling of that horrible octopus, the
Louisiana lottery. the lottery managers
made more munificent gifts to the
community. this for a time ingratiating
the evil in tho minds of the people.

The higher license the stronger reason
to some people why the revenue will
be needed when the time of the over

THE saloon is doomed in this land
Let us not postpone its disgraceful
demise by giving it a lease of life by
means Of a higher license.
This fair city does not need the
revenue of this damnable business. It
would be just as consistent to collect a
license from the social evil, and from
the highway robbers that are cursing
our city. Any license is a wrong prin-
ciple, and a higher license is unchris-
tian, unstatesmanlike and unpatriotic"

MEN ORGANIZE TO
EVANGELIZE WORLD
PLANS ARE DISCUSSED FOR A
FORWARD MOVEMENT
Members of the First Congregational
Church Will Endeavor to Raise
Large Sum Through COM
mittee of 100

The men of the First Congregational
church took active steps last night,
following the usual evening service,
toward organizing to carry on the for
ward movement toward the evangel-
ization of the world in the present
generation.
Frank Dyer secretary of the Ma
tional Congregational Brotherhood,
made the address of the evening,
speaking on "A Masculine Church. :"
Mr. Dyer said originally the member
ship between the male and the female
members was two to one in favor of
the women, which had continued until
the organizat ton of the brotherhood
movement, until now the membership
was almost equal.
Mr.. Dyer stated that for many
years the women of the churches sup
ported the workers in foreign lands.
At about the same time the Sunday
school movement was instituted, and
later the young people, thus organic
ing every department except that for
the men. He said the masculine move
ment came as a elimination of the
work done by the women.
Following the service the men of
the church held a conference in the
social hall, discussing plans for the
of the forward movement.
In addition to the $4,000 for home ex-
penses this church will endeavor to

RELIGION DOES NOT
PERMIT ELASTICITY
Declares Indifference In Worship
Breeds Iconoclasts and Antag-
onizes All Positive Truth of
Scriptural Preeepts

Liberalism in religion and broad
mindedness in politics, says tho Rt.
Rev. Bishop Conaty, are two different
things, although everyone does not
make the distinction. Moreover, he
argues, one religion is not as good as
another. These opinions he expressed
in his sermon at ST Vibiana's cath
edral yesterday. He said in part:
THE tendency of the age is toward
the line of least resistance, and any
thing that savors Of moral restraint is
looked upon as interfering with per
sonal liberty.
Liberalism in religion is placed by
some in the same category rs broad
mindedness toward political thought
or whole-heartedness in matters of
charity.
Indifference in religion would seem
to build itself on the theory that there is
no positive truth in religion and that
religion is purely subjective, made to
suit the whims or sentiments of the in
dividual intelligence and heart. Ac-
cording to that theory. religious faith
has no definite outline. and the highest
rule of certainty is mans conviction Of
his own understanding. This doctrine
antagonizes all positive truth, and it

REV. Mr.. BLIGHT DISCUSSES
PHILADELPHIA STRIKE
Declares to Fellowship Members That
the Present Age Would Be
Great Save That Faith
Is Lacking

Faith is the one thing needed to
make this the greatest age in his
tory" asserted Reynold e. Blight,
minister of the Los Angeles Fellow
ship, in an address at Blanchard hall
yesterday Wonderful as is this age
in so many ways, Greece surpassed us
in art, Hebrew civilization surpassed
us i'll religion, and other epochs have
gone beyond us in particular lines;
but with a profound faith poetry, art
and religion would make our age the
most splendid in human experience.
Beyond the reach of telescope or
microscope, transcending the bounds of
laboratories and evading the defini-
tons of saVants, the spiritual universe
stretches, the ultimate object of man S
search and the goal of human desire
Faith does not contradict reason or set
it at naught. 1t leaps into the unseen
and knows by experience, by realiza-
ton, truths that reason alone can
never know.
This age needs a revival Of faith;
not faith in dogma or authority, GER
tainly not in superstition. But a faith
in the moral order; faith in ourselves,
that we are truly divine beings in a
divine world; faith in each other,
bringing about better understandings
and sympathy among men, faith in
spiritual values as opposed to our
present methods OF Valung mon and
things in terms of dollars and cents:
faith i'm our ideals. that they can and
ought to be realized; faith in the con-
tinual triumph of goodness; and above
all, a loving faith in Cod"
In a prelude Mr.. Blight discussed
the Philadelphia strike. "Our indus
try is a vast battlefield" he said.
Labor and capital are in continual
conflict. In these unending struggles
both sides suffer and tho third inter-
ested party the general public, is sub
iectcd to Inconvenience and peCuniary
loss. The industrial decentralization in
cident to strikes and lockouts inflicts
injury upon the whole community.
Public opinion, and if necessary, legis-
lation, should insist that labor dis
putes be referred to boards of arbitra-
ton; especially in labor troubles with
public service corporations, where the
people are directly interested. Such
conditions as exist today in Philadel-
phia are a reproach to America
but all such means of settling dis
putes are temporary makeshifts. In
dustrial peace and prosperity will come
to stay only when capital and labor
work tOgether.'

Ministers in Los Angeles Churches
Declare the Suggested Legislation

In many of the churches the high IL
cense problem was discussed at the
services yesterday in accordance with
a request sent out by the Anti-Saloon
league. Thousands of pamphlets,
written by DR.. T.. S. Chapman. head
of the league, were distributed at the
various churches.
In most of the churches the subject
was spoken of in short preludes to
the usual evening sermons.
Rev. A. B. Prichard, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian church. Endorsed
the pamphlet at the evening service,
saying he believed that high license
assisted the saloon in every way.
Rev. A, S. Phelps, pastor of the
Central Baptist church, said to in
crease the liquor license was to ben
eft the saloon.
Many of the pastors spoke on the
theme. the opinion being unanimous
that high license was an assistance to
the saloons and was to be deplored.

WORK
SELVES TO DEATH
PASTOR LAMENTS LACK OF
SUNDAY REST LAW
Says Seventh Day Workers are Slaves
and Should Be Emancipated-
Greater Than the White
Slave Evil

The Rev. w e. Perry, field secretary
of the international reform bureau of
Washington, D. c., preached last night
at the Trinity Methodist church, cor
ner of Union avenue and Eighteenth
street. His sermon was in the inter-
ests of the Sunday rest movement. He
said:
There is a great fundamental law
which underlies all forms of human
government, which is to the effect that
government is Obliged to do whatever
ought to be done to secure the we'll
being of the individual and promote the
general welfare. The common judg-
ment of civilized man is that men need
one day in seven as a rest day, that
they may be good citizens. Practically
every nation and form of government
within the pale of Christian clVlllza-
ton has recognized this need in suit
able legislation. Such laws belong to
the A B C of good government Every
state in the Union has such a law eX
ccpt California.
"A Sunday rest law is in tho inter-
ests of good health. The state de-
mands strong, healthy men and wom-
en-. To toll seven days out of seven
is to degrade oneself physically and
undermine the public health. The
nights rest does mt fully restore the
waste of the days toll. Unless the
toiler rest about a seventh of the time
he is permanently weakened in body
1t has been said by scientific authority
that constant Sunday toll will wear
a man out prematurely and lessen his
life by about a seventh.
eve Americans sacrifice annually
over 100, 900 boys to the saloon system
and fully as many innocent girls to the
brothel and the white slave traffic.
And the whole nation is rising against
the slaughter. But tho fact is that
the evil of seven days toll claims more
victims than these two evils combined.
"About 100000 are slain each year
by overworll. If a man works on sun
day because he chooses to do so he is
guilty of slow suicide. If he works
because he is compelled by circum-
stances over which he has no control
he is slave and should be enamel
pated."

the Franciscan Fathers.
That both Of these able men have
succeeded beyond their expectations

morality.
If one religious belief is as good as
another then what becomes OF the
eternal law of God? For God is eternal
truth. He certainly is the one to de-
termine belief in him and worship in
him, and cannot be Indifferent to truth
or falsehood. The love of truth is one
of his great attributes as it is one of
the characteristics of right reasoning.
The history of mankind indicates an
uninterrupted search after truth, and
records satisfaction only when truth is
found"
