CHURCH POTENT
IN MARRIED LIFE
DR. DOWLING SAYS RELIGIOUS
- HOME IS STEADFAST
In Sermon on "Homes I Have Seen
Wrecked" He Urges Import.
ance of Agreeing In
Creed
At Christ Episcopal church yester
day morning. Rev. Dr. Geo. Thos.
Dowllng preached the ninth sermon
In. the series on "Marriage and After
Marriage." His special topic wns
"The Lost Wedding Illng, or Homes
Which I Have Seen Wrecked." He
spoke as follows:
"I have seen homes wrecked because
they did not carry the proper chart.
They had not provided themselves
with a truthful understanding of tho
course over which they were to sail.
"My friends, all harmonious action
Is' 5 the resiilt of compromise in the
state, in society, in nature and in the
home. Nature is a system of checks
and balances— compromises. No one
element or power Is allowed full and
unlimited sway. If It were chaos
would .return.
"Society likewise rests upon this
same basis. It is a compromise be
tween the employer who has the
money and the employe who possesses
f.he brawn; r a compromise between the
citizen, who believes in state's ..rights
and he who believes in governmental
centralization. Thus, a happy wedded
life is an impossibility without the
compromises of love. Otherwise mar
riage would become the sway of a
despot on one hand, and on the other
the cringing: of a slave.
"That is never a home which is
dominated by fear. Home depends
wholly upon the oneness of all Its
inmates; father, mother, children, yes,
and even the servants, when that is
possible. The fear of anyone may be
a good thing in jails and among des
perate men, but it is a very poor ele
ment In a home.
• "Now let me illustrate what I mean
by the compromises of love.
' "Here is a woman who is married,
and- she attends, perhaps, a different
church from that of her husband;
possibly she can influence him kindly
and wisely to adopt her point of view.
But suppose she cannot. Suppose, for
example she attends Christ Protestant
Episcopal church and her husband
has a very decided preference for the
Methodist, or the Presbyterian, or the
Congregatlonalist, or the Baptist
church. What shall she do?
"Go with Husband"
— "My • answer is verrT clear. IJeavG
Christ Protestant Episcopal church
and go with him. If he wishes to go
to the Roman Catholic church (though
I never would advise a marriage be
tween a Protestant and a Roman
Catholic),' nevertheless, If you have
already married him, go with him to
any church which he is willing to at
tend.
"There is a place where you can
.wisely compromise, and for this rea
son: In these days it is harder as a
rule to get a good man to go to church
than it used to be in the days of our
fathers to get a bad man to go. Go
with him where he wishes to go. and
thank God ' that he is willing to go
anywhere. •
*"On the other hand, my dear sir, let
me say a word to you. Your wife's
home is her palace; if she is a true
woman, it is her world. You have
your office; your outside engagements.
♦Do not interfere with the arrangement
of her world, so far as your means
will allow. All the chances are that
she knows a thousand times more
. about it than you or I do. And even
if she does not, there is a place where
you can wisely afford to compromise.
, As a rule these little compromises of
love are the only wages she' asks.
Don't scrimp in her pay. For if you
j make that woman's life unhappy, you
are laying; up bitter memories for
yourself souk; day. Have you forgot
ten how- Thomas Carlyle, whenever
. he . passed the spot where he had last
seen his wife alive, would bare his
head In wind or rain, and say: 'Oh,
Jif I could but see her for five mm.
' utes, to assure her that I really cared
I for her throughout all that! But she
'never knew it — she never knew it!"
■ "I have only time for one more sug
gestion, and that is— l have seen homes
wrecked even when they have had the
right ship and the right chart, because
they did not 'have the right pilot.
"And then remember a Christian
family can never be broken up.
•"What, though one shall die In the
old 'home and another far away, with
no hand of sister, or mother, or wife
to soothe his fevered forehead, only the
thought even In his delirium that
somewhere they are loving .him and
praying for him, there shall come to
each the. same angelic messenger and
the same welcome message, and amid
the music of celestial chanting: the
soul' shall mount upward and the
voice of Jesus shall whisper 'You are
going ' home.' " '
MILLS TELLB HI3 BELIEF
Large Congregation Heart Sermon of
Ex. Evangelist
■ Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills spoke twice
'yesterday in Masonic hall. At the
morning' session it Is estimated that
thousands were turned away and an
other great throng failed to gain ad
mission in the evening. Mr. Mills has
decided to. . respond to requests pre
sented by several hundred people and
repeat his address on "Why I Changed
My RellfflouH Opinions," , In Simpson
auditorium next Sunday evening.
Ilia subject yesterday morning was.
■'What I Believe, and Why 1 Believe
It." He said In part:
"1 am a believer. I bellev* not less,
but more than formerly. I might well
take for my foreword, 'Here Is what
«.lng«, unrestricted faith.' Inm not
wandering In 'the fogs of unbelief.' 1
stand under ft clear sky with ft shining
sun nnd h vision of the eterftril. 1
emphasize no doubts, I teach no nega
tions, I encournge no pessimism, 1 tol
erate no despnlr. As Browning says,
'this world's no blot for us nor blnnk,
It means Intensely nnd It mean* good.
To find Its meaning Is my meat and
'drink.'
"I formerly believed some things.
Now I believe nil things. First, about
nature and history, t do not believe
that man Is fallen and that he needs
special redemption. Ido not think
that God hns ever failed and that he
had to fttone for his fnllure and man's
fnll by the blood of his flon. It Is In
conceivable to me' that I ever have
thought so, or that others still believe
It.
"I believe there Is one God, who has
thrown himself out In the manifestation
of nature to the remotest atom nnd
that In the dpimcnt pnrtlcle of matter
there Is nn Intelligence that works ns
the wisest man and one wiser than man
would, If he were there In person.
Nnture Is tho progressive mnnlfestH
tlon of the inescapable necessity of God
to express himself as he really Is.
History Is the record of the relation of
God to himself, an is shown In the de
veloping experience of the^ human
race.
. "In the second place I believe In
human experience. I used to see that
all things' work together for good to
them that love God. I see thut still,
and I now also perceive that If men do
not love God, all things work together
to lead them to that love— that Is, to
realize their unity with life, force,
spirit, reality, God. I believe that
physical, mental, moral and spiritual
incompleteness, sickness, weakness,
death, ignorance, folly, temptation to
sin are all gymnastic apparatus for the
mental and moral development of men
ns Individuals and of the race. I be
lieve the word of Augustine is true, 'O
God, thou hast made us for thyself,
and our souls are restless till they rest
in thee,' and I say as Whitman did
that 'in fact there Is no evil, and if
there Is, It is just as Important to you
and me as anything else.' 'It is only
In thought that we have departed from
the precincts of God,' and all distance
cannot separate us from the love of
God, and through these things we shall
come to be more than conquerors.
"In the third place, I believe in all
men. I used to believe that
'Some feet would never preßS
A pathway through the wilderness
From midnight to the morn to be.'
I do not believe that now. I do not
believe in the ultimate loss of a single
soul, a single cell, a single atom. I
do not believe there is any loss any
where, except in a very restricted sense
of the word. I hold the doctrine of
hell which teaches that fires burn now
and will burn with increasing intensity
to burn 'up the' dross of sensuality and
selfishness from every human life, and
I say to my fellowmen with tremendous
moral energy, some day we will have
tc choose to be good. Why not com
mence now?
"It has recently been said in the
public press by one of the ministers of
this city that I am more to be pitied
than any man in the world. If lam
the most miserable man in the world,
this is a good -world and there is hope
for all men. If I were miserable and
were given my choice, I would still go
on and count all sacrifice as nothing
that I might be loyal to my highest
convictions."
ASCOT PARK RACES ARE
DENOUNCED BY MINISTER
Rev. Frank DeWitt Talmage Tells of
Things He Saw on Visit
to the Track
In his morning sermon on the Ascot
park races, Rev. P. DeWitt Talmage
said:
"Ascot race track: Wonderful name
that with which to conjure. Who sup
ports it? What damage Is it doing?
Why do the gamblers and the thugs
and the plug-uglies and the outcasts,
as well as a few so-called respectable
people hold high carnival there, week
in and week out. For over four
months it annually keeps open house.
Shall this festering, putrifylng corrup
ting, reeking, rotting, stenchful, im
moral ulcer be allowed longer to fasten
Itself upon the vitals of this fair city.
These are the questions being asked by
many lips. And these are the ques
tions the moral and the Christian peo
ple will have to keep asking with
menace, until the county supervisors,
cowardly as a board, afraid of antag
onizing the gamblers, vote, the county
supervisors not, however, all who
license this wholesale Infamy, shall
cease to übet this infinite evil with
their personal acquiescence.
"Have you ever been to Monte Carlo?
I have. Have you roamed through
any of the evil resorts of the heathen
cities of the far east? I have. But
though aw a man, I have traveled
around the world, north, east, south
and west, I never saw such flagrant de
fiance of all moral law and decency as
last week at the Ascot park track.
"Ascot race track was never built for
the purpose of developing the speed of
horses. Its only purpose is to be a
shrine where poor fools are taught to
lay their all upon the altars of the
Goddess of chance. ' I denounce it to
day as the worst hell-hole I ever saw
in a Christian land. I denounce It as
the arch fiend of all the destroyers of
our men and women In this city.
"Most of the ministers who have at
tacked this Infamy have done so at
long distance range. This is not my
usual mode of fighting. I went to the
Ascot race track last week and now
report what I have seen. The floor
was crowded with hundreds of men,
either cashing their winnings or wager
ing their new bets. A balcony above
was filled with women, most of them,
I ; hope, morally good, but nearly all
with their gambling cards used for bet
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 13, 1905.
ting purposes. Two saloon bars were
In full blast. Young men, who were
the lambs being fleeced by the Satanic
fthearera were cursing their bud luck
as they lost their own money and per
haps their employer's.
' "I denounce the Aacot race truck as
n carnival of thieves nnd rascals. I
denounce the capitalists who have th*lr
money Invested In that place of Infamy
nnd perfidy. J denounce the barten
der who soils whisky over the counter
to the poor deluded drunknrds. \
"And yet, nnother word. 1 de
nounce -the members of the Christian
churches who go to thut rnce track. If
you church members go there, you be
come parties of a fiendish plot, t saw
some representatives of . Christian
churches there, * I demand of you
church members, In the name of God,
not only your, absence from this race
track, but^ also your positive up nnd
down Intense and mortal hatred ngulnst
this evil, It Is the Instigator, the In
splrer, the mother of all crimes.' May
God give us strength to crush this
adder under our heels."
DEOICATION OF ITALIAN
CHURCH IS CELEBRATED
Bishop Conaty Officiates Over Im.
pressive Ceremonies at the
New Building
Bishop Conaty officiated yesterday
morning at the dedication of St. Peter's
Italian Catholic church at 751 San
Fernando street. The Interior of the
church had been elaborately decorated
for the occasion, streamers of ever
green extending along the walls. The
main altar was adorned with red roses
and ferns, while on the altar of the
messed Virgin were clusters of white
carnations and violets. The nltnr of
St. Joseph was ornamented with calla
lilies nnd red roses.
A procession wnn formed at the rec
tory on New High street, headed by
the cross-bearrr and acolytes. A large
number of children participated in the
procession, the girls being gowned In
white with wreaths and veils.
Following the dedicatory service, in
which the bishop wns assisted by
Rev. T. riacentlni, the pastor; Revs.
Rapheal Fuher, O. F. M.,' and P. G.
Scher, high mass was celebrated by
Father Donahue.
Bishop Conaty made a short address
to the parishioners, congratulating
them, with the pastor, on the com
pletion of the church building and
the opportunities of religion which it
gives them, combined with their na
tional traditions. The bishop spoke
feelingly of the name, St. Peter, the
head of the apostolic band and the
corner stone of the church. He cited
the lessons of temptation and of good
ness to be derived from the life of the
patron saint. He also recalled to the
Italians that It was named after the
greatest church In the world, St.
Peter's of Rome, where the pontiff
ministers to the children of the
church. .
Following the remarks of the bishop,
Rev. P. G.^Beher of the Cathedral of
St. Vlblana preached the sermon in
Italian.
Following the mass, benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament was given,
Bishop Conaty being celebrant.
DEBT OF WESTERN WORLD
TO CONTINENT OF ASIA
Rev. J. S. Thompson, pastor of the
Independent Church of Christ, in Dob
inson auditorium, preached a sermon
yesterday on "What We Owe to Asia."
He said in part: "Asia is the, largest
continent. Its population is equal
to that of the other three continents.
It has the oldest civilization. It is
the cradle of the human race. It is
very rich. Agriculture, weaving, tool
making, architecture, mathematics,
astronomy, philosophy, poetry and all
the essentials and ; necessities of civ
ilization - originated in Asia. All the
sacred books of the race were written
on that grand continent. The might
iest prophets of the ages were born in
Asia. The' moat intensely spiritual
people in the world are Asiatics.
"As a rule we are ungrateful to
Asia for what we owe her. Our glor
ious and divine gospel is Asiatic. The
perfect code of morals Is Asiatic. The
dlvlnest character, that of Jesus
Christ was formed in Asia. The dear
est hopes of life are Asiatic. The
grandest revelations of the spirit were
made in Asia. Asia has produced the
great lawgivers, the great prophets,
the great religions of the world."
HIGH TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN
"I think that Abraham Lincoln Is the
legitimate successor of Jesus Christ,"
said Francis Murphy before a large
audience last evening: in Blauchard
hall.
Judge Yorke presided at the meeting.
J. W. Eceleston had charge of the
music. ___ *
Miss Bovnrd rendered a violin selec
tion. F. Clarence Putz sang a tenor
solo. Mr. Kccleston sang a selection,
accompanied by violin and piano.
Francis Murphy read the Scripture
lesson, which was followed by prayer
offered by the Rev. Mr. Phillips.
"I feel honored to be on this platform
with Francis Murphy," said Judge
Yorke. "I have said that if he asked
me to do anything I would gladly do
it. lam here this evening upon his
Invitation to advocate the temperance
cause. I can Bay that there Is no good
derived from indulging in Intoxicating
drinks. Drink turns kind husbands
Into demons. Their money Is squan
dered In the saloons when much needed
in their homes, I have had many pa
thetto stories told me in my official
capacity by women who" have been
cursed by the use of liquor by their
husbands. While the husband has
Judicial control of his fainilyt. In his
cups he has no control over himself.
"I think there is no country In the
world that U progressing equal to the
United States In the temperance cuuee.
I think that much of this is justly due
to Francis Murphy."

Judge Yorke drew word pictures of
young men he knew who started out
in life with bright prospects and bril
liant intellects, and who claimed that
they could drink or let it alone as they
pleased and who said that it was only
fools who were slaves to their cups.
He stated that these young men ended
in.th.c insane-tisylum.
Francis Murphy made an earnest
plea for the home life, saying" that the
home was the most sacred spot on
earth and begged the wives to have
patience with their husbands and not
let angry words mar the home love.
He closed with an appeal for young
men addicted to drink to follow the
example of the young men who had
taken the pledge and were living earn
est Christian lives.
Forceful addresses were made by
Messrs. Henry Stevens and Carlysle
Wynne.
During the singing of . "Throw Out
the Life Line" many gathered at the
platform to sign the pledge and don the
blue ribbon.
