TRYING TO SOLVE PROBLEM

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONsl
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-Judge Cur
It's d. Wilbur Of the juvenile court has
attempted to solve the perpleXing
problem presented by the marital rites
and customs of Los Angeles large
Russian colony. After an apparently
Intellectual attempt on the part of the
authorities 10 compel the young Rus
SLAMS living together bound only by
their religious ceremony to seek civil
officer and be legally made man and
wife, Judge Wilbur has offered to bind
the nuptial ties of every such couple
in Los Angeles, and he has offered to
waive the usual fee.
The hideous vista opened to moral
reformers by the recent testimony of
the 15-year-old Nayikoff girl, who told
Of the atrocities practiced among the
Russians, and Of the sale Of little
brides by the fathers, caused a reyul-
sicn that may have far effects. Judge
Wibur's offer was made in good faith,
and it is being promulgated in the
Russian colony.

xv1f4AT WILL DONE ABOUT

of employment, and the Los Angeles
Tribune asks What will be done
about it," In the same issue of the
Tribune there is a pitiful communica-
ton from a young married man in
Los Angeles who has been striving
for year and half to find employ
ment but has only secured temporary
jobs and has been gradually getting
into worse condition financially. There
is no question that there are thou
sands of similar cases in Los Angeles.
From San Diego comes the story OF
a flooding of the city by men out of
work and the Tribune's query applies
to these cities as we'll as to the coun-
try at large
There can be no doubt that the grad
ual absorption of all sources of reve-
nue. by great industrial organizations
is slowly drawing the line in America
between peasantry and gentry, nor can
there be any doubt that Lord Macau-
lay spoke with prophecy many years
ago when he said the exhaustion of
the public domain in America would
bring about just this condition.
In the large cities, the problem is
of vast proportions, but there can be
no doubt that, SO far as Los Angeles
and San Diego are concerned, avail
able land for colonization furnishes a
sufficient safety valve, id those cities
will apply it.
Realty in those cities has come to
be looked upon according to its spec
productive, home sustaining power,
but of ''unearned increment for the
enrichment of the speculator. Real
estate to Los Angeles and San Diego
citizens is what corn and cotton are
TO the exchange brokers-commOdit
OF exchange, though only bulls are op-
e.ating, there being no bears TO hold
the values TO conservative valuations,
If those cities should come out OF
that concept and look on real estate
as the basis Of productiveness-as the
safety valve Of industry-vast good
could be accomplished for the individ-
uals and for society.
In Imperial county there are 400,-
600 acres of land with irrigation wa
ter ready to support a family to ten
acres, giving the possibility of 100000
rural population. Adopting the rule
of one person in three living on the
farms, this gives the possibility Of sus-
tanning 100000 people.
Along the Colorado river and its
tributaries there is a potentiality five
times as great as this, or giving the
possibility OF sustaining on the soil
and in cities three millions of people.
If the cities OF the coast could be
induced to give the use Of their strong
arms, their fortunes and their lusty
lungs to the colonization of this coun-
Try, they would find it a pleasant, a
profitable and a humanitarian Occupa-
ton.
But the coast cities are given to
sitting on that safety valve of indus
try, cheap land. They do not bend
their energy to the great task of build
ing empire, preferring to build bunga-
lows.
Let the people of Los Angeles, for
instance, devote some energy to plac-
ing thousands of people on these lands,
now ready for home makers, and they
will find the new condition will Gre
ate employment for their idle and de-
spOndent thousands.

O.-What may we understand the Lords 9

hot: 1 would thou vert cold or hot. So
then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot I will spue thee out

Answer-The seven churches in Asia
represent the seven stages of develop
ment, or epochs in the history of the one
true Church of Christ. The message 10
the church in Laodicea relates, therefore,
to the last or present period of the
stage of the history of the Christian
Church that we may expect the repudta-
ton or spewing out of relationship with
the Lord as his mouth-piece. and Of rec
ognition as members of His true Church,
of all those who are "lukewarm' and 10
different in the service of the Lord. It Is
daily becoming more manifest to all care
full observers that there is a wide distinc
ton between real Christianity, and the
great mass of protesting Churchianity.
Perhaps the most reprehensible class of
people on the earth is that which is
formed of those who are half-hearted and
indifferent to the great and important af
fairs of life.
ON Matthew xvii, 20 Jesus said to

of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you Could one
have faith to remove literal mountain?

Answer.-The suggestion would seem to
be a preposterous one, but when we re-
fleet upon the meaning of the term faith;
that it is not imagination or blind
credulity, but, as defined by the Apostle.

xxi, u; we can see that our Lords teach

since there is no basis of evidence for
faith that the will of God is to remove
literal mountains in answer to any idle or
