YESTERDAY IN THE CHURCHES. Mrs. Burr Bassell Speaks Betore the Y. W. 0. A. Rev. Bane of Trinity Church Speaks on What Think Ye of Christ? ' The Spa ;lal Sertloe to Be Held at tha I'lkts Chnrcti un Tuesday— Fea tured ot tha Various Services. The gospel meeting yesterday was well attended. It was opened by a service t>f song. Misa Km ma Rider presided at Die piano, and was accompanied by an orchestra of .he following young ladies: Misa Si in.: ns, the Misses Brown, Miss Kadeuiacher. Mre. Burr Bussell read the 121 st •1. .iiin, and after prayer, made the prin cipal address of the meeting. Her sub ject was The Greatest Need—Christ mimeelf. She said many a sinner was discouraged with the examples he sees of Christian living by professed follow ers of Christ, but when his vision is car ried beyond this to the Christ Himself, then he finds satisfaction. Then it is he cornea to Christ and surrenders his life to Him. There is much that iB mysterious and miraculous in tbe birth of Christ, bnt tv the risen Christ we have proof of the incarnate Christ. John, v, 24, says "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that my word," etc. Simply hear ing it fall upon our ears is not hearing it in the sense that Christ meant. Only as we receive it into our hearts and then express it iv our lives do we "hear" tbe word. Life is a sift from God, and our banda must be empty of worldly things, so that they can take this wondrooa gift. Let ub Bee to it tbat nothing interposes. ,From the time that Christ met Paul in that memorable vision, Paul knew only Christ, and presented himself aa a living sacrifice. Romans, xii, 1-2. Mrs. Baasell concluded with an earnest ex.huru.tion to place our lives in Chriat's hands and go patiently on day by day till we gain that eternal life spoken of in John xvii and in Ist John v. Miss Morae aaked the young ladiea to testify of the satisfaction they found in having Christ tor a friend and they re sponded freely. Monday evening ia tha regular Bible study, conducted by the secretary. There will be no aocial Tuesday even ing. At Trinity M. E. Church South. In the morning a large and attentive 'congregation listened to a most interest ing discourse by tbe pastor, Rev. A. C. Ban, from Matthew xxii. 42: What Think Ye of Christ?" Jesus asked this question, which was not answered, and it is never answered satisfactorily to the mind until Christ is received into the heart. Jesus was either a myth, a man, or a god! Was He a myth, having no real existence ? We have rh satisfactory historic proof that he lived in Judea as I that l'lato or Luther lived. Ancient writers refer to Him and quote Him. ■He is historical, not mythical. Was He a mere man? So Bay Unitarians, Jews and the skeptical. It ia a popular theory that Christ was a man whose life rather than his death uplifts and saves humanity. Such doctrine doee not come from tbe Bible. If the Bib'e is not a truthful record in every particular it is unworthy of belief. The Bible says He waa divine. They reject Hia divin ity, but claim that He was one of the , best men who ever lived. A good man will be truthful. Christ eaid He waa divine, and if He waß not He was an impostor—a bad man! He Bays: "I and My Father are one." "Before Abraham was I am." His birth was unlike that of any human being in that He was con ceived of the Holy Ghoat. Hia life and doctrine, Hia death and reaurrection aro without compariaon in all the range of humanity ! How do the "mere man" theorists explain this? They cannot get their doctrine from the Bible, and if they go outside it ia an in vention of man aud without author ity I It was hie death that redeemed ua , and it requirea the sacri fice of life to sustain life in nature, else we could Uveas well on mud as mutton; it ia true also in the spiritual nature. Why revolt at the innocent sufferings for the guilty when we see it every day? Christ waa a willing sacrifice. Waa Christ divine? Yes, perfect man and perfect God, the bridge that planked the chasm between humanity and di vinity. He hungered like a man and fed the 5000 like a Uod I Heweptatthe I rave ac a man, but called the dead azarus to life like a Cod I His cruci ( fiction is authenticated by evidence out side the Bible; the proof of His resur i rection is just as conclusive, and no in telligent person will believe that a mere ■nan could rise from the grave. Hie birthday ia celebrated and the anniver -1 sary of hia death and resurrection are obaerved by tbe Christian world. Mill ions of intelligent persons worship Him as a God, and they all could not be mis taken I Gamaliel truly said: "If this religion be of man it will come to naught, but if it be of God ye cannot overthrow It," The distinctive features of Christianity, the incarnation of Gbriet, the atonement and tbe new birth, are thoughts that could not have had a human origin. The Bible says: "Whoso receiveth not the Son hath not the Father," so there ia no God in the religion that rejects tbe divinity of Christ. Christ haa given ua civiliza tion, tbe gospel and His church, made us "new creatures," conquered death and prepared for us a home in heaven. "What think ye of Christ?" Let us all say He iB tbe divine son of the living God, the world's Redeemer, my Savior, After the aermon aeveral persona united with the church. Church of the New Era. Tbe morning discussion was upon the topic "How shall each individual se cure the product of his toil." In the evening Prof. W. C. Bowman discoursed on Experimental Religion. There ".re a lot of people who simply make an experiment ot religion, fail and try again. Many people are puzzled and con fused in trying to account for the ex periences claimed by religionists. Are these experiences real or are they • hams? In a general way I must an swer that they are real. In some churches tbe experience necessary for admission ia dreams, to dream of satan and temptations and to overcome them. Lyman Beech.-r was asked: "Would you be willing to he dutnned personally lor the glory of God?'' This question rather stumped the young aspirant for tbe ministry, bnt finally he answered : "Yes, if tbe glory of God required it, he would be perfectly willing to be damned, and to see the entire presbytery damned, also." Revival methods require all sorts of manifestations, sorrow, agony, prostra tions, shoutint, catalepsy, all supposed to be tbe manifestations of a holy spirit. I went through this experience myself. It is a matter of feeling which settles thin question. Of all the evidences brought forward to prove these experiences to be true mental feeling* are tbe least reliable. The fevered patient is given an opiate, and he is asked: "How do you feel?" "Oh, I'm all right." Bnt he is not all right,. Then I want you to consider the mar veloue phenomena of the mind, the wonderful scope of the mind, awake or asleep, mesmerism, hypnotism, this matter of religious experience loses all its mysterioueneoß. We can easily ex plain them without bringing iv any holy ghosts. The concentration of the power of the mind it tho all-powerful lever. That in what accomplishes all these results. You are to be damned. You must concentrate ycur mind on sal vation. You must get it. No matter what your doubts may be. You must have it, and you get it. It is a false remedy of a false disease. It exists only in the mind, aud must be healed by the mind. A real disease requires blue mass or castor oil. Just as long as people believe in mythology they will need revivals. Y. M. C. A. The regular Sunday afternoon eong service was attended by a large crowd. The service was led by A. W. Hare. Miss Garton contributed a fine solo, fol lowed with scripture reading by Captain Creesy. O. W. Moore and Miss Garton then rendered a duet, after which the meeting was addressed by Captain Cres oy, who is prominently connected with Sunday-school work in the First Bap tist church of this city. His subject was l'aul and Silas. He first told of their being confined in tho prison in chains, and how in answer to their prayers the Lord caused their fetters to drop from them and the prison to be rent with an earthquake. Their jailer was greatly alarmed and wanted to kill bimßelf, but Paul told him not to be alarmed, and tbe keeper and his family deserted tbe idolatrous teachings of the period and were saved. The speaker then proceeded to draw a number of excellent lessons from this story and apply them to our daily Uvea. He said that if Christiana would fulfill their life's work successfully they must be as Paul and Silrr were and give all to God and be continuous in prayer. Hia remarks were listened to attent ively and the lessons drawn were ap parently taken home by his hearers. 4 • The Plaza Church. Beginning at 10 a. m. on Tuesday the Feast of Our Lad 7of Guadalupe will be obaerved by a eolemn mass at tbe Church of Our Lady of Angels, opposite tbe plaza. Very Rev. Joaquin Adam, vicar general, will preach the aermon in Spanish. The procession will be in the evening at 7:30 o'clock. A FAST BICYCLIST. Tliob. McAleer, Who Mad* a New Record for Twenty-five Miles. Mr. Thomas McAleer, whose picture is given in this morning's Hbrald, has been more or lees prominently before this section as an athlete for several years past. He now holds the medal for all around amateur champion of Southern Oali- Thoe. McAleer. fornia, winning this event three years ago at Agricultural park. The events consisted of putting the shot, 100 yard, one mile, half mile and quarter mile runs. It was won from a big field com posed of the leading atbleteß ol the sec tion. He is also the champion amateur middleweight boxer of Southern Cali fornia. MoAleer is about 30 years of age and is a native of Ohio. He has been an athlete since he was 17 years of age. His first performance was while at school, where he won a 25-mile go aB you pleaee contest in a little over three hours from a wide field of local talent. He has recently taken to bicycle rid ing, and has succeeded in establishing quite a reputation already. Last Wednesday he went against the coast record for 25 miles, which he made in 1 hour, 7 minutes and 84.. seconds, re ducing Waller's previous record of 1 hour and 19 minutes. This performance was made in the face of great difficulties, as Mr. McAleer has had but little op portunity to train. All of his prepara tory work on the bicycle has been done after 5 o'clock in the evening, aB he in employed in the Baker Iron works and haß been working steadily for five years past. McAleer has also made a number of other excellent records on the bicycle. He has been riding only four months, and as his experience ie extended the public can look for more good work from him. An Obinrved Geography- Fallbrook Observer; The Redlands Oitrograph criticises the new state geo graphy lor placing Redlands in River side county about half way between Riverside and Elslnore, and giving the number of carloads of oranges shipped from South California at 150U when they ought to be (3000. Every move of thia kind only hastens state division, a thing to be deoutly hoped for. The Citro graph concludes bb follows: We are not using this as an argument against the state issuing its own text books. Far from it. We have always upheld the idea, and do now. We are against having a sat of compilers and editors for our text-books that come from the hay region exclusively, aud who do not know any more about North or South California than they do about Persia or Ceylon, men whose range of vision is bounded by tbe confines oi Central California, and know nothing else, not even enough to ask for help on matters of which they are ignorant. LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 11, A BULLDOG'S COURAGE. Ha Saves c Poti«»man'a Wife from the Attack i,f a Uurgl«r. A burglar tried to enter tbe house of Officer Kolle the other night, but left tbe premises with a part of his pants in a bulldog's mouth. That bulldog has been the pride of his master for many months, but his last achievement raises him much higher in his owner's estimation. The officer was absent on duty when the burglar tried tbe door. "Is that you, Charlie?" said his wife. "Yes," responded the burglar. The lady bad scarcely opened the door when the bulldog put in an ap pearances and went immediately into the sauxage business. The burglar's idea of "distance lends enchantment to the view" never pre sented itself stronger, and be made a blue streak for other pastures. Ac a gentle reminder of the occasion, the bulldog nabbed a three-inch patch from the seat of the robber's troueers as he cleared a four-foot hedge. UNHONORED AND UNKNOWN. Aa Inuldent of Kveryday i.ifn In the Far Wast. "Now to glorious burial slowly borne." Thus Tennyson wrote, and it is seldom seen except with the pageant of some nabob who, though born lowly, de scends to the tomb with highest honor. The pedeßtrians on Spring street tbe other afternoon observed a funeral cor tege composed of a single horae and buggy. Not one sympathetic glance was cast in the direction of tbe humble casket which contained clay moulded in the noble form of a once well-known Lob Angeles citizen, who, born in high and affluent circumstances, descended to the grave unhonored and unknown. "Such is life," remarked a bystander, as he was told the man's history by a reporter. THE GUN WOULDN'T FIRE A TRYING EXPERIENCE WITH AN EXIGENT BILL COLLECTOR. Arthur Forrester Telia How He Waa Treated by a Man Who Poked Him In the Kiba With a Gun. The three grey hairs which have lately appeared among the raven locks of Arthur Forrester, the youthful clerk of department one, Superior court, are the results of an experience which Mr. Forrester will doubtless remember for many moons. Forrester is a part ownership in a ranch situated in a lonely part of the country and his duties in Judge Smith's department claiming all hia time the ranch is looked after by a friend who has the haff interest. As a rule the friend sends the bills on to Forrester, who acts as auditor and treas urer. One day during the latter part of last week Forrester was busy upon bis min utes when the door swung open and a six foot Mexican entered. Approaching Forrester, he pulled out a paper, and informed him that he had an order from the ranch for $40, and re quested payment, Being busy at the time, Forrester told tbe fellow to call again, and the latter left. About 10 o'clock the aame night the clerk waa on his way home, and had reached a deserted part of Main street, when, in turning a corner, he came upon the Mexican decidedly under the influence of liquor. Fulling out the $40 order, the Mexican six-footer demanded instant payment. Forrester had not tumbled to the exi gencies of tbe caee at tbat time, and, telling the fellow tbat he didn't transact business at tbat time of night, started to continue hia way home. But tbe other fellow didn't want it that way, and, taking Forrester by tbe coat collar, reiterated hia demand. "You no pay me, eh?" be ejaculated. Forrester begau to catch on, and at the aame time to temporize, trying to release himself from the grip on hie collar. "I show you someting," went on bis assailant, and, reaching behind him, drew out a revolver, uttering the most horrible threats meanwhile. When Forrester saw the eix-abooter be realized that he was in a most un pleasant predicament; the Mexican kept on talking, but tbe eight of the weapon bad been too much for For rester, and he didn't know whether his assailant was talking English or San scrit, but the worst was to come. Tightening bis grip on the clerk'a collar, tbe Mexican jabbed the business end of the gun against the bottom but ton of the young man's waiatcoat. For rester staggered back, and saying aa much of "Now I lay me down," etc., as he could remember waited for the gun to go off. But the Mexican jabbed again and, varying the performance, slapped the youth on the aide of the head. The blow knocked of Arthur's new derby hat and sent it flying. In spite of the trying nature of his surroundings, the bewildered young man couldn't help following up the broken hat with his eye, keeping the other, however, steadily fixed upon the ,gun, but he was only allowed a minute's distraction before he received another winder in his waistcoat and another slap in the face. It was no use objecting, for the pro prietor of the revolver was big, and he was small, so for a few minutes the Mexican played ball with him, and tickled his ribs with the aixehooter. Arthur's knees were trembling and life was beginning to become a burden, when three men came along the street, and the Mexican seeing them gave his victim a parting cuff and left him. Forrester waited no longer, but pick ing up his new hat, and without waiting to put it on, went home at a 2:40 gait. The writing on tbe minute book of de partment one has been somewhat shaky since. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standasu. ABOUT HOLES IN THE GROUND. Theories About, the Vanderbilt ' Mines. Fine Prospects Indicated at Coos mau Springs Camp. The Vanderbilt Country tha Scene of a Great Amount or Activity—Arl ious Mining News and Motes. The following item is taken from the Shaft, published at Vanderbilt: A short time since the statement was made that the ore veins in Vanderbilt rested upon beds of cyenite at a depth of about 300 feet. This statement was made by one who wbb supposed to know, but be made one serious mistake, and that mistake was the failure on his part to furnish the proof wherewith to support his theory. Ninety-nine peo ple out of one hundred would at first thought accept his statement without any proof being furnished; but how much would such evidence be worth before a board of experts? For the sake of argument, however, we will grant that be may be correct. What then? Simply this, that the ore in Vanderbilt above that line iB suffi cient to make it alive camp for two or three years. No proepect in this camp has failed, but, instead, all have shown good rock, which grows better as the ebafts are sunk, down to the deepest level yet attained —that of '.200 feet. And this stutement depends on no one mine, or any one thing. The ore ie rich and there iB plenty of it above 300-foot level, and it is yet to be proved that there ie not ore below that level. Crossman Springs and Vicinity. About 20 miles north of Vanderbilt and six miles weßt of Crescent lies the locality known as Croßsman Springs. There ia, at present, a good deal of in terest manifested in the future of this place, as the ore now being taken out runs well, and there seems to be plenty of it. Right at the springs perhaps tbe leading claim is the one owned by Charles R. Hood and W. H. Phelps. A shaft has been run down 30 feet, tbe re sult being a pay streak about 15 inches wide, the ore in which runs very high. A. C. Moorhead, the Los Angeles as eayer, who visited this claim last week, atatee that it iB excellent property. Three miles east of Crossman Springs are located two claims of the Legal Ten der Mining company, which property is composed of two claims, the Legal Ten der and the Iron King. The latter has not yet been worked, but tbe former is being developed by means of two shafts 30 feet apart, which are now 60 feet deep. No drifts have yet been run, but one will soon be commenced on tbe 50 --foot level, and will be run from one shaft to the other. The pay streak ie separated into three parts at present. These, however, seem to be working nearer together and will probably be come joined shortly, the principal Bart being upon tbe hanging wall, and the others are working towards it. Tbe vein pitches about 35 degrees to the south. The ore runs well. About 35 tone have now been taken out. The Legal Tender ledge runs east and weat and the Iron King runs north and south. They cross each other about 450 feet west from the east end of the Legal Tender. Theae properties are on the old road from Ivanpah to El Dorado canon, and have been conaidered good property for yeara, but were not considered bonanzas; ao they have been left till now, when men are more satilied with a good thing, even if it isn't a bonanza. Arizona Mining Notes. Albuquerque Times: Our Bister ter ritory's gold properties, under the im petus given to the search for the yellow metal by the low price of silver, are Bhowing up splendidly and much ac tivity is being manifested both in pros pecting and working of more or less de veloped mines. The region between Prescott and Phoenix seems to be par ticularly fortunate in rich discoveries as well aB in the output of some well known properties. Among the news of mines and miners, which has come to the Times recently, the following notes are the most interesting: Henatsr Jones of Nevada, with hie brother and Alvinza Hayward, has bonded at a high figure the mines of Owen & Austin, or "Chloride Jack" properties, as they are familiarly known. They are situated in the Santa Maria district, southwest of Prescott. More men are working in the Big Bug district than in any other in the south west. It is a rich held and miners are doing well. Tbe Harqua Hala mine, which was sola last year to a London syndicate, is justifying the faith placed in it by pro ducing $25,000 net per month. The cost of producing the bullion is $3.80, leav ing a good margin on the amount of ore taken out. The Gladiator mine in Bradshaw mountain was recently placed under a 22 days' bond for $50,000. One of the very richest mines in the world is the Oopper Verde, 23 miles from Prescott. A careful estimate has recently been made on this great pro ducer, and it ie given out as a fact that it is worth $10,000,000. Acton Mining News. Acton Rooster: The Robartß & Pier eon Uosewell mine iB Bhowing up better rock from daj to day, and is no doubt as.fine and rich gold property as can be found in thia part of California. A company haß taken the contract to run 10,000 tons of tailings through a dry washer for tbe Red Rover mine. These tailings will run four to five dollars per ton, and work is progressing us fast as the water supply will allow. The Hoeewell mine had 10 sacks of tailings assayed at San FrancißCo, which averaged about $4000 to the ton. John Foley struck some very rich rock at the Santa Paula mine. Eugene Nickel and Dr. C. H. Parker struck n very good vein of gold-bearing quartz iv the Sauta Clara mine. Lea Thompson A Co. are running on come very good quartz on Mt. Gh'ason. The New York mine is being worked and the mill run moat of the time now. This is very fine property, only tbe water snpply could be better. Some Bnt placer gold ia being washed out around Acton now. Notes. F. E. Hunter and J. H. Fox have leased from the Qold Bar Mining com pany a portion of the Chippie running claim, and have begun development. They are now taking out some tirst-ciaes rock, aud it looks very much as if tbey bad made a strike. A well-known prospector, who was an entirely disin terested party, made the etaternent early in the week that thny had the prettiest little prospect he had ever seen. Patton A TRggart have men at. work on the ledge tbat Mr. Patton discovered last week. The ore shows much free gold and is remarkably rich, the best by far of anything ever discovered in camp, and, if it goeß down, it will be nothing short of a bonanza. Taking this and the vein found by Fox A Hunter on the property of Messrs. Pat ton A Taggart, these gentlemen can reckon that they have had a remarkably good week. The Gold. Bar Mining company on Tuesday put a crew of man at work de veloping water at Willow Springs,which ia about three miles,from Vanderbilt, and almost !2UO ieet higher. There is no doubt that a large amount of wat?r can be developed at that point, and as soon as one inch is assured tbe company will lav a pipe from the Bprings trt Vanderbilt, aud will prepare to put in a mill at the Gold Bronze mine. Patton A Taggart at present have teams at work hauling larize quantities of oie to Keystone and also to Manvel, from which latter place it is shipped by rail to different points. Samuel T. Godbe. president of the Keystone Mining company, came down Tuesday to meet Messrs. Foster A dul ler, two mining experts from New York, to look over the country. A. H. Stevens, superintendent of the Legal Tender Mining company, whose property lies between Crescent and Crossman Springs, returned Monday from an extended trip to Loe Angeles. Mrs. Stevens accompanied her husband on bio return. OUTFALL SEWER WOR.i. The Kesnlt of the Kecent Invntlgation. Work Nearlntr Completion. The work of investigating tha tnvnels of the outfall sower is aim., concluded by the sewer committee, City Engineer Dockweiler and Superintendent Vin cent. The resnlt of probing into the work under the Mackey & Young contract | has been to thoroughly establish the \ fact that under one inspector upon that ' work some bad construction was al lowed. The testing of the work showed < that there was no bad work .under other ' inspectors, with one or two slight excep- 1 .tions. The sewer committee will probably have a formal report from the city en gineer today with reference to the mat ter, setting forth in detail all the work done under - ach of tht inspectors. This will be shown by a profile map in which the work of each inspector is shown by colors. The completion of the outfall sewer is now a question of only a short time, and then it will be formally opened as contemplated heretofore by the sewer committee. City Engineer Dockweiler said yester day tbat tbe construction work on tbe sewer has been eminently satisfactory with the exceptions referred to, and that he believes it will stand the test of use and time in good shape. Tbe bad work done on one section of the tunnel has been torn out and put in by the contractors in a manner satis factory to tbe officials. What steps will be taken, if any, in regard to the dere lict inspector has not yet been an nounced. DIED. WRlGHT—December 10, 1893, Grace, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. X.

A Great Amount or Feeling la 1) 'T«lop- Ing;— A Bplilun Tuday. The Seventh regiment is considerably stirred up over the court-martial of Cap tain George (ilowner of company C, which will convene for busine*". today. The determination of the accused to decline to resign and tight tho charges has added to the bitter feeling which exists, and 'he proceedings of the court martial are liable to be very lively. Colonel Fehreibsr claims that ever since Captain (ilowner was elected he has been a .lisorgaiuzing element in the nationHi guar I. Ilia averments are that Captain (ilowner was overbearing, that he attempted to change the rules of the ; company so ue to further bis own ncbemes of persona! ambition, and that ', bia continued presence in the regiment would be a detth blow to tbe company of which he is the commanding officer. : He clainiH that by temperament and 1 training (,'aptain Glcxvner can not bn a ; 3001I commanding officer, and disclaims that he had any other idea in making charges against bim except to eliminate euchan element from the regiment.. On the other hand Captain Glowner and his friends assert that Colonel Schreiber has conspired to get bim out of tbe national guard. It is said by them that Col. Schreiber attempted to keep theculistmentof new men paralyzed, so tliat company Ccould not he brought up to tbe requisite strength and would be mustered out, thus getting rid of Captain Glowner. The latter is not at all backward in I expressing bia opinion about Colonel I Schreiber, and says he will be able to I show that what he claims is true. In the meantime, the trouble is greal- I ly deplored in the regiment, and tbe ! boys will be very glad when the wboie I affair is settled. Quite a number of witnesses will be ; examined, and it ie intimated tbat charges will be preferred against Colonel Schreiber by Captain Glowner. •The Noble Art of B*lf Defense."
