SANFORDS WRITE OF THEIR
WORK IN THE SOUTHWEST

Los Angeles, Calf, Dec ID, 1882.
Dear Editor:
Just few lines thinking you would
be glad to publish few words of
greeting to our friends from the San
ford's.
As you know we left home the 5th
of October in our car with intention of
making a rural evangelistic and mis-
sionary journey through the rural
territory as we journeyed along. We
have completed nearly two and half
months of the seven we expected to
be gone. We have had very encour-
aging meetings-well attended, with
much interest. We have been preach
ing and teaching the Word Of Cod
giving out gospel tracts and hundreds
Of copies of Christian weekly publ
cations which carry the true gospel
of saving grace. We have found many
in rural sections who seldom hear the
,aospel, and who surely welcomed it.
1t is surely encouraging to find the
people willing and in many instances.
anxious for the gospel. Many who
never had the Bible now can read it.
Our personal evangelism, through the
Southern states was especially inter-
esting, among the Southern mountains
and on the great American desert.
We are planning busy campaign
for the ensuing nnonths-always Of
course as is our custom, boosting our
beloved Libby
Generally speaking we have have
had very good weather conditions,
plenty of rain at times but actually
in no snow, save the first few days
out Of Libby as we passed through
the park We are now realizing what
you are going through, and hope you
soon have it warmer.
THE SANFORDS.

WHAT THE SHEPHERDS SAW IN
THE CRADLE.

HE CRADLE
Let us 60 even now unto Bethle-
hem and see this thing which is come
to pass.
AS we are once more privileged to
commemorate the birth of Christ, it
seems very fitting that we ponder in
our own hearts this Christmas morn
ing as to what these Shepherds saw
when they arrived in Bethlehem.
First Of all, they saw a child
through whom had come to man the
the greatest revelation of Coda child
born to give the greatest revelation
of man.
Second, they saw Him who was born
to be not only the worlds Saviour but
one who was born to be earths great
est teacher
Third, they saw a child who alone
had the right to the sovereignty Of the
world Lowly but kind, Jesus the Son
of Man and the Son of God
Let us receive and estimate at their
true worth Gods gift of redemption,
love and forgiveness of our sins,
knowing that out Of this manifestation
of His grace comes to US also justifi-
cation, peace, adoption hope and
heaven
Christmas is in its true spirit and
message, the gift Of eternal life, sal
walton to lost world, therefore the
practical question this Christmas day
is not, Was Christ born? The practi-
cal question that concerns each
individual ia. have | been horn Of
Christ? The Word says. I'VE must be
born again"

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. U.P)
Proposals for federal gasoline,

Breed of Oakland, director of the
California State Automobile asso-

legislation.
In a telegram to Congressman AL

de VALERA'SLEAD
| CONTINUES TO
| SHOW INCREASE
Will Seek To End Oath
OF Allegiance To Eng
land IL Elected.
BY GEORGE MacDONAGH
United Press Staff Correspondent

DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Feb.
10. If the Fianna Fail party
led by canon de Valera, ardent
anti-British Republican, holds the
lead it is piling up hourly in the
Free State general elections, it will
introduce at once a measure to
abolish the oath of allegiance to
the king of England, it was under
stood today.
Returns will be complete by Sat-
urday, it was believed.
With practically two-thirds of
the 146 parliamentary seats ac-
counted for, the De Valera party
was leading President William T.
Cosgrave's government party by a
IA seat margin.
The standing at :130 p. m. was
as follow: Fianna Fail, AZ; Gov
ernment party, So; Independents, 9;
Labor, 5; Farmer, 2.
Thus the Fianna Fail and Labor
majority over all other groups was
five seats.
The Independents may be counted
on to support Cosgrave, and the
Laborites have issued a statement
indicating they will back De Valera.
This would give De Valera, allied
with Labor, a majority of seats
over the remaining groups fighting
broadly under the Government
banner.
The victory of five Fianna Fail
candidates in North Dublin was
the most surprising factor of the
race So far.
Mrs. Collins Driscoll, sister OF
Michael Collins, and the only wom-
an candidate, was one of those
elected from Dublin North.
De Valera was enthusiastically
cheered when he visited offices of
the Irish Press in Dublin, of which
he is managing director.

Lloyd McIntire, 16, and Leroy Al
lison, 16.
Wolford said today four of the
boys will be certified to the juve-
nile court, because of their age,
but that a preliminary hearing
will be necessary in the case of
Lorin Macdonald. After the pre-
liminary hearing, Macdonald may
either be certified to the juvenile
court, or tried in superior court.
The complaints were to be filed
before Judge H. B. Griffin in
Brawley, and action taken there

SHANGHAI, Feb. 10. U.P - A
brisk artillery duel between the
Chinese and japanese batteries on
the northest Chapel front began
tonight, preluded to the big battle
set for Saturday morning.
The bombardment was expected
to continue intermittently all night
long and American and British
residents began evacuating the
threatened areas of the Interna-
tional Settlement.
The Chinese shells started sew
eral fires near the Rokkusan
gardens, inside the japanese de-
fense area of the settlement.
The American church missions
and st. Luke's hospital in the
Hongkew area were evacuated in
side the French concession, well
away from the danger zone.
The japanese guns were busiest
diverting the attention of the Chi
nese batteries, while final prepara-
tions were made for the battle, the
Chinese having defiantly repected
the japanese ultimatum.
The Japanese lines inside the
settlement were active. A constant
stream of olive-drab trucks sped
towards the front lines with am
munition and supplies.
Further indications of Chinese
solidarity in the face of the SER
ious Japanese menace to China
were given today. The most sig
nificant was the return of Chang
Kai-Shek, recent president and still
the Chinese generalissimo, to Nam
king, where he conferred with
Wang Ching-Wel, executive head
of the government; Lo Wen-Kan,
foreign minister, and others at the
foreign office.

GARNER
Former Treasury Head
In Wilson Cabinet Will
Support Texan.
PRAISES SPEAKER
Formal Statement Asserts
House Leader Is Desir-
able Candidate.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10. U.Pl =
William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary
of the treasury under President
Wilson, threw his support today to
John N. Garner of Texas, speaker
of the house of representatives, for
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation.
McAdoo, widely followed Demo-
cratic leader, has been mentioned
as a possible candidate both for the
presidency and United States
senator
His formal statement supporting
Garner follows:
"I have received so many in
quiries as TO my attitude toward
the forthcoming Democratic presi-
dental nomination that I take this
method of answering them.
II favor John N. Garner, speaker
of the house of representatives.
During the six years that. 1 was
secretary of the treasury had, OF
necessity, close official relations
with the ways and means commit
tee of the house, of which Mr.
Garner was a leading member.
II came, therefore, to know him
intimately and to have the oppor-
tunity to judge, under the severe
test of complicated problems, the
quality of his mind and the meas
ure of his ability.
Il was greatly impressed by his
sound Judgment, by his broad COM
prehension of political, social and
economic problems, by his in
tegrity, moral and intellectual, and
by his high character and prac-
tical ideals.
His elevation to the speaker
ship was not a matter of chance,
but a recognition of % years of
able and distinguished service in
the house of representatives.
Is Hard Worker
"Mr. Garner has unusual knoWl-
edge, acquired by hard work and
experience, of the problems Of gov
crnment. He would bring to the
presidency just the equipment that
is sorely needed to direct the af-
fairs of the people Of the United
States in these extraordinary times.
Moreover, Mr.. Garner is not in
volved in any party schisms that
threaten success on election day.
He is beyond the reach of those
sinister and subtle influences which
work increasingly against the in
! terests of the masses of the people.
''He appeals to those elements in
our national life which need d
leader who understands their prob
lens, whose sympathies are with
them because he does understand
them, and who, because of heredity
and environment, is one of the
people himself.
"He will know how to use the
executive power to promote the
common good and to suppress
favoritism and extravaganza and
the flagrant force of privilege and
corruption which have brought the
country to its present unfortunate
condition.
"Under Garner all elements of
the party should be able to unite
In that case, his election would be
certain"

Danger of a strike of the unpaid
school teachers grew. More than

Secret Six, famed businessmen S
crime fighting body
The new public enemy" list
would include names of wealthy
citizens who have not paid their
taxes. Teachers also urged abou-
ton of all extra-curricular school
activities including athletics, dra-
matics and social organizations.
Picketing of the buildings which
have not paid taxes was suggested
by one instructor. Another sug-
gested boycott of business men
who haven't paid their levy.
