San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 13.-Patroi-

night, came upon a man seated ON the

a fine steel pole, fitted with reel, line

CAB AND GRAB

There is something peculiar about
words. There are whole families OF
words that convey beautiful thought
by means of agreeable sound. Love,
Hope, Home, Mother, Holy. There are
other families of words that convey the
idea CT ugliness by means of disagree
able sound: Cab, Grab, Dab Daub,,
Jab.
Our purpose, however, is not to dis
cuss philology. however attractive that
subject may be to scholars of leisure.
What we are thinking of is the indi-
vidual who deyotes his time and en-
ergy to Cabling and grabbing.
While talk is sometimes an expens-
i've commodity, it is very necessary
thing. We could not get along without
our ministers, teachers, and statesmen.

z SERMONS
Rev. G.. w. McColl Closes
Campaign Here.

Rev. c. w. McColl preached two
temperance sermons yesterday, illus
trat1ng them on the blackboard.
The morning discourse at Mt. Mo-
riah Baptist church was based on the
career of the prodigal son as recorded
in the fifteenth chapter of Luke, and
showed him leaving home, wealthy,
innocent and inexperienced. His path,
as portrayed on the blackboard, led
from a pleasant home, into bad COM
pany, into the saloon. into poverty,
into famine and finally into the hog
pen.
The return path of the prodigal had
it's beginning in hogh pen convic-
ton, and led into confession, into de-
cision, into return, into reconciliation
and into restoration, the speaker said.
The sermon at Bethel church at
night was a delineation Of the path
Of the just" as depicted In Proverbs
4:14-19. The crooked path of the
wicked led into the saloon. into the
liars pit, into the gambling den, into
the dance hall, into the theatre
through malice, through envy, into
hell The straight path of the just
led through regeneration, through
prayer, through forgiveness. through
love, through kindness, through truth
into heaven.
This service closed the present
campaign of tho temperance evangel
list in Richmond.
