central thought of the lecture-ser-

laid down the axiom that no Chris

things. And the scripture lesson
was an authoritative intimation that
all good things were to be used and
not wasted, according to the intent
of the divine economy.

Incidentally, Mr.. Ehrstein told of
talk he had with one of his elders
in Iowa. a Bohemian American who
was assisting him in clearing up
dishes at church supper and who
expressed his disgust with the
i American waste of food at table,
many church supper patrons mus
sing up and rendering unfit for the
table three times as much as they
ate and paid for. The foreign-born
citizen declared that nothing of that
kind would be tolerated among the
common people at least of anSfor-
eign community. children not being
allowed to waste at any table.
But waste of wealth, even in prod
igsl America, was not so bad as
waste of life in futile and purpose
less pursuits and pleasures, in fool
ish exposure and trifling with pre-
ventable diseases and in self indul-
gence an appalling waste of health
and happiness. Then there was the
waste by misdirected energies and
misfits in seeking an easy living
rather than useful life. which
made possible the crowded ranks of
clerks and shop-keepers who might
be doing far better service on the
farm.
Illustrating the principle Of Gods

/ the speaker told story of Wesley

rich man of the gospel narrative,
went away sorrowful.

Fatal Accident at Granite Falls.

ascertained that 81 machines were

since that time, so that the city

TRACK EVENTS
AROUSE ENTHUSIASM
Combination of Auto and Motorcycle
Races Is Topic of Conversation
Among DeVotees

Lovers of real sport are looking for
ward to Sunday afternoon, when the
motorcycle track is to be the scene of
the most exciting events ever staged
on a saucer track.
The trade riders are all on pins and
needles to get at the program, and
when Graves, Bake, Eittle and Sey-
mour line up at the tape for the start
there will be a contest such as has not
been seen on that Coliseum track since
the day Jack Prince completed it and
turned it over to the management.
The public is also to see the newly
found and coming champion of the mo-
torcycle track, Whittier, the profession
al rider, with Samuelson and Mitchell
hanging on to his heels. There is a
keen rivalry being assumed among the
motorcycle enthusiasts over the coming
race between these men, and as it is to
be half hour event the miles Which
will be made on the board oval will
probably establish a new record on the
books of official registry.
OF course there is intense excitement
over the race of Harold Stone, who is
to go for five miles to establish the
first worlds record for an automobile
on q saucer lIdCh, ullNiliS 'iiS III ~ eA
tomobile ever driven on such a course.
Thousands will be there to witness this
feat originated by the Herald.
Following this the swift Corbin,
driven by All. Livingstone, will be sent
a mile over the same course against
the worlds record for that distance.
The people of this city will probably
never see an automobile on saucer
track again, and the crowd will doubt
less be large when the gates open for
the afternoon.

few days after the date for the ban

was received from the company, which

is given here. As New York is rather
far to go, no matter how good thu

Here it is:
Buffalo, u. S. A.. JAN 20, 1910.
MR.. w. d. SEMPLE,
The Los Angeles Herald:
We are in receipt of d clipping
from your valued publication stat
ing that on January IL last you
received an invitation to our BAN
quet, held in New York on the
night of January 8. We realize
how very amusing this must have
appeared to you, for we have
laughed over it ourselves, ana
note your statement to the effect
that, as the year was not stated on
the card, we might possibly be
extending you an invitation to a
dinner for January 8, 1911.
Far, very far, be it from US,
dear sir, to ask you to be with us
SO far hence, thus insinuating that
those responsible for so bright
journal as The Herald might be
slumbering for so long period.
On the contrary, our entertain
ment committee may very well
have judged from a perusal of
your sparkling columns that Prov
idence had endowed you with the
added power to take old Father
Time by his attenuated forelock
and send him travelling a back
ward course in order to meet the
needs of the occasion.
All testing aside, however our
banquet was very hurriedly ar
ranged for and your invitation
should have reached you January
4th or 9Th. 1t was clerical error
that it did not so reach you: and
while we knew that it would be
impossible for you to arrive from
Los Angeles in time to partici
pate in the festivities, we thought
you might possibly have some
representative in New York whom
you might wish to wire to repre-
sent you at our little gathering.
That you did not was a source of
keen regret to us. Many of our
good friends of the newspaper fra
ternity were present. and you may
be sure that we would have been
more than ordinarily pleased to
have been able to extend the glad
hand of greeting to the genial rep
resentative of the Los Angeles
Herald.
With kind regards and express
ing the earnest hope that we may
have the pleasure of your company
at some function in the future, we
are, Yours very truly,

took part in the fourth annual ban
ouet and meeting of the Federation OF
Mems clubs of Pasadena, which was
held in the social hall of the First
Baptist church this evening. The

tious ever attempted by the organiza-
ton and practically every church
club in the city was represented.

Student Body of Southern California"

presiding officer for the occasion. Most
of the speeches were educational

ern California; Prof. E. G. Norton,
dean of Pomona college; Thomas G..
Burt, acting dean of Occidental col
lege; James A. B. Scherer, president

ern California. N. G. Felker, secre-
tary of the organization, delivered his
annual business report, showing the
est in the organization Dean Norton
had for his subject 1.-THE Church and
the College," and in his talk suggested
that the church has a wider field in
education than even those most in
terested in this branch of church
work appreciate. college and Man
hood" was the subject treated by Dean
Burt, who said that if the college does
not develop manhood it is a failure,
no matter what else it may do. That
the student of today is the man of to-
morrow and must be trained to that
end was the assertion of President
Scherer of Throop. Speaking of "To-
morrow's Man" Mr.. Scherer said that
the educators of the nation should
never lose sight of the fact that young
people now in schools must come forth
from educational Institutions prepared
to cope with lifes difficulties, and that
they can be equipped for this struggle
only by a proper combination of edu-
cation and character building.
The address of the evening was de-
livered by DR.. Fox, who had for his
subject cooperation" DR.. Fox said
that cooperation between student and
teacher, between minister and. edu-
Gator and between college and church
can but better the condition of young
men and women of the student body
of Southern California.
