PRACTICAL AGE DEMANDS
RELIGION OF OPTIMISM
Fellowship Pastor Says Breadth
and Tolerance Are Now
Required

at am an optimist because I believe
in God" said Reynold e. Blight, min
lister of the Fellowship, yesterday
morning at Blanchard hall. History
and science unite in supporting the
religion of optimism. The world grows
better, and we can see the divine pur-
pose ripening fast.
1.-THE race is tired of religions of
pessimism, fear and gloom. The In
tellect denies them, the heart contra
diets them, and human experience gives
them the lie. The human soul de-
mands and will have a religion of
faith, OF affirmation, and of universal
love. We are also weary Of doubt and
uncertainty, whether of science or
philosophy. In religion let us give
over vague speculations about subjects
that the schoolmen have quarreled
over for a thousand years without get
ting anywhere, and build our religious
experience upon a belief in the eternal
goodness, the innate possibilities of the
soul, the eternal triumph of goodness,
and of brother1y kindness to one an
other.
"This practical age wants religion
as broad, as tolerant and as splendid
as it's own magnificent dreams, and as
practical as its mighty achievements.
1t wants a religion that shall clarity
its spiritual ideals, shall inspire its
every day work, shall quicken its
moral aspirations, shall give glory
and a purpose to its enterprise. This
the religion of optimism does. It's fun
damental principle and affirmation is;
L believe in goodness and Will so Or
dor nv life'"

RULES OF SLEEP

Those who think most, who do most
brain work, require most sleep, ant
time saved from necessary sleep is
infallibly destructive to mind, body and
estate. Give yourself, your children
your servants-give all that are under
you-the fullest amount of sleep they
will take by compelling them to go tc
bed at some regular early hour and to
rise in the morning the moment they
awake, and within a fortnight nature
with almost the regularity of the rising
sun, will unloose the bonds OF sleep
the moment enough repose has been Sc
cured for the wants of the system
That is the only safe and sufficient
rule, and as to the question how much
sleep any one requires, each must be
rule for himself. Great nature will
never fail to write 1t out to the observ-
er under the regulations just given

FAVORs ORGANIC UNION
OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
Rev. Locke Says Movement To-
ward Combination Should
Be Encouraged

Rev. DIR. Charles Edward Locke at
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
Sunday evening. delivered part second
of his sermon on 1.-THE Battle Of the
Creeds." His subject was rs the
Union of the Churches Probable and
Practicable? In that Event, What
Advantages Would Result?"
Dr. Locke said, in part:
Christs ideal for the church was
unity. THAT they all may be one
are His own words. Paul gently re-
buked the Christians in Corinth. when
he wrote. Everyone of you saith, I
am of Paul. or I am of Apollos,' or
I am of Cephas,' or L am OF Christi
Is Christ divided?" In these words
Paul sought to allay certain divisions
which were already manifesting them
selves. Until long after Pentecost the
apostolic church was a unit, even to
having all temporal things In common.
How can the movement toward uni
fication be advanced? Fraternity and
reciprocity should be encouraged.
Churches that are identical in policy
and doctrine should take immediate
steps toward organic union. There
should be a rapid decline of medieval
ecclesiastic The finding of reason
should be more authoritative than the
statement of some distant council. Let
the emphasis be placed upon Christ
and His spirit and Ideals.
Let the watclfword be. "In essentials
unity: In non-essentials, liberty; in all
things. charity"
Among the practical advantages that
shall accrue from a union of the
churches will be that antagonlsms and
rivalries will cease. Cruel as was the
crime of rending the vestments of
Jesus and piercing His side. the tear
ing asunder of the body of Jesus is
infinitely more heinous. There will be
great enlargement of the church's op-
erations, because much money now
used in duplicating denominational en-
terprises will be set free for new work
Again, when the church is a unit 1t
can carry forward to overwhelming
victory all great reforms. The devil
of vice and rum would fear united
church.

NEW CHURCH CALENDAR
IS INSPIRED BY WORLD
Societies Plea for Religious Aid
Brings Cooperation in
Useful Work

In his Introduction to series of SER
mons to be given Sunday mornings on
The Place Of Religion in the Con-
quest of Disease" Rev. e. Stanton
Hodgin of the First Unitarian church
spoke OF the Church and the World'
as follows:
THE church is rapidly building up
an entirely new church calendar at the
behest of the world. The Anti-Tuber-
culosis society asks that a Sunday be
set aside as tuberculosis Sunday; the
temperance society asks for a temper
ance Sunday, the Humane society for
humane Sunday. the Mothers con-
gress for a mothers Sunday, the peace
society for a peace Sunday, the schools
for an educational Sunday, the kinder
gartens for childrens Sunday, the So
cial purity society for a purity Sun
day, the charity organizations for a
charity Sunday. the prison reform
league for prison Sunday, the labor
organizations for labor Sunday, the
patriotic societies for a patriotic Sun
day, the Audubon society for a bird
Sunday, etc, until there are scarcely
enough Sundays in the year to go
around
ITO these requests the churches u.s.
ually gladly acquiesce. From an insti-
tuition that few years ago took orders
from no one, the church seems willing
today to take orders from almost any
one"

SPOUSE PREVENTS
SUICIDE OF WIFE
Woman EIudeS Her Guards and
SIashes Wrist-Injuries viii
Not Prove Serious

Worry caused by nervous trouble is
ascribed as the reason for the attempt
of Mrs. George D. Adams to end her
life by severing an artery of her wrist
at her home, 2252 West Twenty-eighth
street yesterday morning.
Mrs. Adams had been In a highly
nervous state for several days and
was closely watched by her husband
and friends. Yesterday morning she
eluded their vigilance, obtained a knife
and was in the act of slashing her
wrist when her husband grappled with
her and succeeded in wrestling the
knife away before fatal injury was
inflicted.
Mr.. Adams, fearing another attempt,
called a physician and on his advice
the unfortunate woman was sent to
the Woodlawn avenue sanitarium. Mrs.
Adams fought desperately when an
ambulance appeared at her home and
as she became violent it was neces-
sary to strap her hands and feet.
According to attendants at the sani-
tarium, Mrs. Adams injury is not Sc
rious and her mental trouble is but
tempOrary.

BEACHES VISITED
BY 10000 PERSONS
Warm Weather Sends Huge Sum-
day Crowds to Cool Off
at SeaShore
DAY LIKE MID SUMMERTIME
Record Throngs for This Early in
Season Are Handled by
Electric Lines
DAY LIKE MID SUMMERTIME

Back to your coats and collars, says
Weatherman Wollaber. The good news
which Uncle Sans weather sharp has
been trying to hand out for two or
three days was finally realized yester
day, when Old Sol crawled back into
his shell trifle and gave perspiring
natives a chance to cool off a bit.
Still, the cooling was noticeable only
on the thermometer. While there was
nothing like the century mark accom-
plished by the mercury Saturday, the
records managed to show an even 30
as the maximum temperature, which
was by no means like a north pole
Christmas.
At a. m. the quicksilver gauge
showed but 72 points, and at the same
time in the evening it was four
notches higher, the in-between period
being some warmer. A minimum of 6S
was struck In somewhere along the
line, but no one but Weatherman VOL
laber knows just how it was done.
At a conservative estimate at least
10000 people spent Sunday away from
their homes in Los Angeles and enjoyed
the day at the various beaches and
mountain places. Besides the large
number of people who hied themselves
to the various resorts by means of
automobiles, motorcycles and buggies,
the Pacific Electric line carried about
10000 passengers, the Los Angeles-Pa-
ci1c line about $4,000 and the Redondo
line close to 10000. 1t was record
crowd for this early in the season.
Yesterday was the first really warm
Sunday experienced so far this year,
and early in the morning crowds of
people made their way to the various
depots, and on even the first cars out
standing room was at a premium. De-
spite the crowding, everybody was
good-natured, and the cheerfulness
that always comes with the first 'sum-
merry" days was In evidence. The
women wore summer gowns and hats,
and hundreds of the men were coatless.
Each beach received It's full quota of
visitors, but Long Beach, Redondo,
Ocean Park and Venice probably drew
the larger crowds.
Saturday evening four special cars
bearing a full load of passengers left
over the Pacific Electric for Mt. Wilson,
the passengers remaining there over
night and returning Sunday evening.
The parks in this city also came in
for their share Of visitors yesterday.
The cool, shady spots proved quite
alluring to many, and each park was
thronged during the warm hours of
the afternoon. AS 1t became cooler
toward evening the principal streets
cast off the quiet appearance of the
Sabbath and were filled with joyous
crowds ready for their weeks work
after enjoying Sunday.

TURNVEREIN SHOOTING
SQUADS TO BE CLASSED

Next Sunday the new schedule of
the Turnverein shooting contests will
begin, when the local club members
will divide themselves according to
their skill in the sport. The previous
free-for-all classification did not meet
with the favor of the members In gen.
eral, as it gave no chance for the anna
teur to meet the professional on equal
conditions. The members will be di-
vided as follows: Champions, experts
sharpshooters, marksmen and anna
teurs. Prizes will be offered in the
several classes, thus increasing inter-
est in the club shoots and giving all
the members fair chance in the
sport

Obstacles to Recovery From catarh

Obstacles to Recovery From catarh.
Recovery from this condition may
be prevented or delayed by certain
abnormal conditions of the spine or
the ribs. 1t is shown constantly In
oSteopathic practice and experiment
that slighly misplaced vertebrae or
ribs do interfere with the natural
flow of the blood in any part of the
body. This fact has been demonstrat-
ed In hundreds Of cases In the Clin-
les Of the Colleges of Osteopathy, and
also in the practice of osteopaths
generally. Also, by experiments the
effects of these slight misplacements
have been shown. So, If there is any
bony lesion which interferes with
good circulation of good blood,
the catarrhal condition may perpet-
uate Itself almost indefinitely.
Certainly, II ;u"e Is to be .ex-
pected, these unnatural positions of
r.1s and vertebrae and n.her bones
must be found and corrected The
