MINISTER'S UFE
IS COMPENSATED
FOR HARDSHIPS
4/
Dr. Dudley Preaches on
Recompense in Life of
Savior of Souls.
1
Because they beli.v. preacher'
life ia (all of hardships, seme
parents discourage their sons from
following the ministry, the Rev.
George V. Dudley aaaertfd la telling
why the seminaries of *he
Protestant denomination* have lost
30 per cent in the last six years.
In a sermon at St. Stephen's P. E.
Church yesterday.
The Rev. Mr. Dudley said the j
"success of a clergjman lies In his
ability to make people feel the wis- 1
dom of his words." He compared tne 1
clergymen's spiritual work with the
secular work of a physician. "A 1
physician may heal a person, but it I
Is only for a few years, while a' 1
clergyman can convert a man and
heal him for life." said the Rev. Mr.
Dudley. 1
He said a minister's ability la not
judged by his power to teach people
what to do. but in his success In
Influencing people to have the desire
to do right. "Thla." he said. "Is
1 why Billy Sunday la recognised as
one of the world's greatest mission- j
aries."
HARDY SCORES
FOOLS' PALACES
Believing that people who trifle
with bin and mock God live, in what
he termed as "Fool* Palaces.- the ;
Rev. W. F. Hardy, who spoke last
night in the United Presbyterian
Church, urged his hearers to break
away from their neglect of God and
think more about spiritual preparation.
The people of today are prone 1
to forget God and his . claims in
life." he said, "and the individual j
who forgets the Divine and lives
alone for material benefit lives in a '
fool's palace. Many men and worn- i
en prepare for old age and fail to
make preparations for life ever- i
lasting. The Bible, church and
prayer have become strangers to ;
them.'* he continued.
"Let us return to the simple ,
truths and forsake our shallow
ideas of Christianity. We need to
receive God In Jesus Christ for our
Savious and guide." he said. "But
people continue in their life of for- j
getfulness and are housed in fools' ,
palaces, the covering of which keeps
out the spirit of God."

Kangaroo Pocket
Yields Six Pearls
To Port Officials
The perplexing question of the.
relationship between the Wallaby, a j
small species of kangaroo, and the
oyster, the bivalve pem-maker of I
the ocean, arose when Chu Quong
approached Special Deputy Surveyor j
of Customs Charles Cook and asked
for permission to take his pet from
the vessel on a sight-seeing trip
through Chinatown at San Francisco.
The world knows that kangaroos
carry their young in a belly poi% h
or pocket. So Deputy Cook, being.
aware of the fact, and being also,
instructed by Col. Irby. his chief, to
search all pockets, reached into the
Wallaby's "pocket."
He located a half doxen perfectly i
good oyster pearls.
Chu Quong denied any knowledge!
of how they got there?unless the |
Wallaby placed them there. The |
Wallaby was not questioned.
Now the pearls are in ths safe j
in the customs house seizure room,
and Col. Irby is studying a volume j
of natural history to be sure there
are no pearl-producing Wallabies j
before he confiscates Deputy Cook's
"find."
, Chu Quong was permitted to keep
his "pekrlless" Wallaby.

GERMANS PLAN
CLEANERBOOKS
Land Flooded with Obscene!
Literature May See
Change.
Germany, flooded with obscene
novels, is starting a campaign to
keep such literature out of theji
hands of her youth. '
A law. drafted in the ministry of
Interior, would list all such works,
compel display of the lists in shops,
forbid the sale or loan of books!
thereon to persons under 18 years I
of age. and establish limitations on
their distribution, tl does not. however,
presume to shut them off from
sale completely, and there are limitations
as to inclusion of political
or religious books.
Former Interior Minister Heine
opposes the new law a* a threat
against German "art.- He particularly
believes that the new laws
provisions concerning political and
religious books is a joker which!
could be twisted into censorship
apasnst such publications'. MoreZiZlm
he n'end8 th?t i^Uimaie

board of judge;! in control of the
operation of the law.
That many of the present dav

persons. But there is a wide divergence
of opinion as to just where
the line should be drawn. Govern- I
