1T was a great thing to have

many seemingly intelligent and up

Tremendous as it is in import, It
is SO simple that even = child may

to seize it? There is but one an

feeling that God 10 harsh in deal
ing With His servants, said DR.. A.
n. Stocking. pastor Of the Spencer
Memorial church yesterday morn
Ing. He took his theme from two
texts, Mark: 1874: Thou art not
Tar from the Kingdom Of Cod" and
Mark 1921: zone thing thou lack
est"
In part, he said:
Throughout the ages there has
been . disposition upon the part
Of mankind to think Of God a
harsh and severe and unsympa-
thetic.
1T is true that as the God Of
Righteousness He can not look
upon sin with appreciation, and that
He must needs condemn the wick
ed; but It is also true that in
many and varied ways He has
shown himself to be the God of
love and mercy and tender CON-
passion. Over and over and over
again in both the old and new test
aments do we ind expressions
which prove this.
This same false feeling toward
God has been transferred in large
measure to the church. This is not
to be wondered at. Jesus himself

an increase of over 100 percent.
Increased cost Ct operation is the
reason given.
These papers did not have to get
permission from a state railroad
commission to make this increase.
neither did they have to get per-
mission to increase advertising rates
Yet several of these papers are very
bitter against increases being
granted public utilities by railroad
commissions to meet the same in
creased cost of operation which az
fects them.
The increased rate for these pa
pers is undoubtedly justified as
have been increases in utility rates
but the San Francisco newspaper
rate increases have been generally
larger than utility rate increases
and their attacks on utilities come
with poor grace.
