Honor and Glory "

Church Notes
i
Bishop Montgomery preached at ths |
cathedral yesterday morning from tho j
text, "But when tlie fulness of the lime ;
was como God sent His Mm . . . tbat
He might redeem them who wcro under
the law, that we might receive tho atlop- j
tion of Hons."—Gal. lv-5.
The bishop s >id: "Every one knows the
power for good that there is iv a proper
knowledge of one's own importance, ol
one's real powers and of a noble purpose.
"It is only ignoble minds that place no
value upon pure blood and an honorable
ancestry: and it is only the Christian faith
that teaches man at the same time a true
humility and the veal dignity of his being,
the noble destiny to which he should
aspire and for which he should strive to li".
himself. There arc those who seem satis
fled with no nobler ancestry than a mere
animal or earthly fatherhood, and with no
higher purpose in life than a merely
natural one that is presumed to end with
this earthly existence. For Christians
there are higher ideals.
"The few words ol' the inspired epistle
just read furnish these ideals. They
teach the divine sons! Ip of Jesus Christ,
and tell us that we are his brethren, and
that consequently we. too, are sons of God
—by adoption. Those arc the lessons
which the holy season of Christmas presses
upon man's consideration! and for one
WnO understands tbe spirit and tiie genius
of the church, this holy season is one of
tho most fruitiul of tho whole ecclesiasti
cal year.
"The church teaches not alone by her
eatechetica' instructions and by her clear
dogmatic and moral truths,but she teaches
most effectively these same truths by
means of her ritual, by her ceremonial in
the cycle of her liturgical feasts.
"For the Christian, Jesus Christ, true
God and true man. stands as tlie central
figure in the world's history. For the
Christian this world itself has a higher pur
pose than that of a mere theater for ani
mal or even intellectual life. Regarded as
that alone it is a great mistake, and life"s
riddles are interminable.
"All tilings were created for Cod's honor
nnd glory, und in his beneficent will that
honor and that glory were to accrue to him
by sharing his own eternal happiness wilh
his rational creatures. And furthermore.
In tlie inscrutable dispensations of God
man was permitted to forfeit that high
destiny, the restoration to which demanded
the incarnation of the .Son of God. There
fore it is that 'there is no other name un
der heaven given to man whereby we must
bo saved;' whereby we may, till who wish
it, share in that restoration.
"These aro the facts which tbe church
teaches her children during this holy sea
son of Christmas time. 'All things are
yours, you are Christ's, and Christ's are
God's.'—l Cor. 11:22.
•lesus Christ is born into the world stir
ded by poverty and privation, but the
- lio choir proclaim him in these sur
j... lings to he king of kings and Lord of
ortls; and in these s'range surroundings
ac draws to himself not alone the humble,
simple-hearted shepherds, but the mtel
lectual world, represented by the magi or
the wise men. He grows to manhood in
obscurity antl unknown to the world. In
the words of his precursor, 'There hath
stood in the midst of you one whom you J
know not.'
"Hut once his public life is begun dis- |
ciples follow him and become tbe fruit of;
bis labors in tbeir own faith and personal
aaiictilicalion and suffering, '.-ons of
adoption' they became 'heirs' indeed and
'co-heirs with Christ of heaven.' The c
then are his crown. He associated with
them when sinners, the church associates
them with hini when saints, and hence it '
is that around the festival of Christmas the
church commemorates the life ami suffer
ings ot such great saints as St. Stephen,
the first martyr lo Christian faith; St.
Stephen, whose blond converted Paul, tiie
persecutor, into Paul the apostle; St.
Stephen, who had learned so well his mas
ter's lesson. On the cross Chris; prayed:
'Father, forgive tbem, tbey know not what
tbey do.' St. Stephen, when being stoned
to death, exclaims: 'Lord, lay not this sin
to their charge.* What a lesson for this
age of ours!
"Near ihe feast of Christmas (he church
commemorates tiie beloved disciple, S:.
John, who wrote bis gospel to prove his
master's divinity. Near it, likewise, she
commemorates the holy innocents, who
through the hatred of Herod,became uncon
scious martyrs to that faith which was aft
erwards to be so fruitful of grace in the
martyr's death.
In preparation for this holy festival she
reveals to us the life of bis precursor, St.
John the Baptist. So do we see that
around tha feast of Christmas, the church
weaves a crown for her divine Master, iv
the memories most sacred in Christian his
tory. Tbls we say, is her spirit and her
genius. If Christ came to save sinners and
associated with them while sinners; if. be
coming saints-, they form a body of adorn
ing spirits around him In heaven, because
tbey are sons, heirs with bim ot heaven;
if we are told to walk before him, lie must
be pleased in onr setting before ourselves i
examples of those who, itt human form
like ours, "have fought the good light and
kept tiie faith," to animate us with hope
that we too may persevere to the end.
Tiius does the church teach, by object
lessons the most powerful, the divinity of
Jesus Christ, the redemption by him and
by him alone, and the fruit of that redemp
tion exemplified in the saints that have
loved and practised his holy precepts.
First M. ii. Church
At the First Methodist Episcopal church
In tlie evening tiie pastor, ilev. Dr. John A.
13. Wilson, discoursed upon Tne Gospel of
the Star, from Matt. II:". "For we havo
seen his star in the east and arc conic hither
to worship bim."
Ho said In part:
Seven hundri tl and fifty years of Roman
eivilizatio i and eout|iient had br.ougnt al
most the whole world under that domina
tion. Her laws, ber civilisation, her roads,
were evt; yw here, highways cast up foi tlie
feel of the coming prince of peace.
The knowledge in the Jewish scriptures
had spread over tbe earth and the proph
ecy of Daniel as to /. on w as so known that
there exUted an universal expectation of a
great king.
Even in for oil' exclusive China, so vivid
was their expectation of the .Messiah, the
great saint whom Confucius 800 years be
fore said was to appear in tie west, tbat,
after waiting umii sixty years after his
coming for him to Und them, they sent out
envoys to tn id him. They on their journey
meeting the disciples of Buddha oomtng
bom India with a story of a divine incar
nation,and mistaking them for the disciples
of tiie one I lirist whom they were seeking,
bore oack as such to their countrymen thb

The star was God's guicta to those east*
Mm inquirers. Nor will the serious seeker
after truth ever be left without a guide.
"The secret of ihe Lord is wilh those that
fear him, and he will show tlieui his cove
nant "
This is the story of the star. Among its
teachings learu that there is an east to the
life of every one in which tbisstarapp are.
I mean, there is a point of life from which
indications of the Master may be recog
nized.

Junction to he tlie true star nf Bethlehem,
Hie analogy holds pood. For, as by the
paralleling ot Mars, Jupiter and Saturn iv
tbeir widely different orbits there was
made an Illumination so splendid as to ar
rest the attention of every one - to portend
some important crisis in the lite of the
world, so there comes into the life of every
one a conjunction of three mighty lumin
aries the revealed word of God, the striv
ings of tlie Holy Spirit and tho workings of
an awakened conscience.
A man, woman, child ! When the word

it to thine heart, arousing thy conscience
into activity, remember it is the sterol

cannot disregard it Without tremendously
unspeakable loss
When the star is recognized it is the part
of true wisdom to follow w here it leatls.
Bow many easterners, yea, even Magi
saw the star antl gazed wondering, awe
stricken ; aye, and saw it in the constella
tion of usees, but alas, only Melcbor, Cas

and devotion to assay the long, wearisome
journey to dud the Christ, and it has ever
been so. Alas, it is so today.
If rejected, the oonditi >ns of guidance

I'ilate. Herod, Felix and Agrippa are
biblical examples.
The terminus of the guiding star is to Hie
acceptance and worship of the Christ.
It d.oes not lead to a creed, tit it to the
Christ; not to a picture, but to a person;

to a theory of science, but to the salvation
of the soul.

Christ of God. sit down tn humility with

the critical scholarship of the world was

Young men and maidens, draw near with

who has come to redeem.
Ye who are in the strength and vigor of
maturity look up and behold with vigorous

Then who wants to see any other. "We
have seen this star in the east.'" What arc
worldly attractions after that. 0, world!

immortality and eternal life.
Unity Church
Yesterday morning, tlte pastor of Unity
church, J. S. Thomson, preached a sermon
in answer to the question, Was the Cruci
fixion of Christ a Loss to Humanity. from
the text, Therefore doth my Father love
me. because I lay down my life that I
might take it again. John 10:17.
In part Mr. Thomson said:
After Christ had assumed the moral and
spiritual fune ions of the Messiahship, he
charged his disciples that they should tell
no man that he was Jesus the Christ; but
his dlacip.es antl those whom he cured
published abroad that tie was the Messiah.
Many results followed the publication.
Jo n the Baptist asked Christ if he were
the Messiah. He was requested to be "a
judge and divider" among them. They at
tempted to in ike him a king by fore?. Ho
entered Jerusalem as the son of David. He
cast the traders out of the temple. He
told Pilate that he was the king of tho
Jews, in the religious sense. Some people
dreaded a revolution that might involve
the nation in disaster. The speech of
Caiaphas, die high priest, shows that sue a
a revolution was possible, Ths innocent
people would suffer much, if t'hrist would
not lav down his life for the siieep. He
should die for the nation. Urn he did no',
seem to court tne means of death which
were so frequently offered to him. When
ho saw that the storm of per
secution was gathering fast, and
that loyalty to truth, conscience, and
love would not permit bim to escape any
more, he sought means for protecting him
self. He ordered his disciples to buy
swords, to accompany bim to a secluded
garden, to guard all approaches to it and
to pray for Btrengtb and bravery to do
their duty. He prayed as no man ever
prayed to bave ihe cup of death removed,
lie aroused liis diciples from their slum
bers often, requesting them to watch with
bim an hour, but they slept and the officers
discovered his hiding place and proceed id
to arrest him. Then some of the diciples
smote Malohus with the sword, according
to the orders of Christ. It soon appeared
that it was useless to resist the officers, 1
and t'hrist told them not to use their
SWords any more. Does not all this show
that Christ tlid not insist upon being mur
dered by his enemies? If he came to this
world chiefly to die and if Lhat were Coil's
intention in sending him to earth, why did
Christ pray to escape? Why did he de
fend himself. Why did he depart into
Galilee when John was cast into prison.
Why did he escape when the 'Nazarenea
attempted to kill him. Why did he bide
himself when the Jews took up stones to
cast ut him in tho temple. Why tlid he
keep his Messiahship a secret aud escape
out of the hands of lus ene
mies so often if his object in coming to
our world were to die. If be knew that bis
death were to save a part of the race, why
did he pray to escape his destiny. t'hrist
tlid not come to our earth tube murdered.
He did not wish to die. He never said that
he tlesired to be sacrificed. He regarded
j his death as a misfortune, and he strove
[to avoid it. He was forced to tlie. He was
i a victim. Christ had tlte sanest soul, Ihe
i truest conscience, the purest motives, ihe
. healthiest life, and the highest qu ihfica
-1 tions for enjoying nature, friendships,
j duty, and life. He was not morbid antl un
| natural, coveting to tlie before his time.
■ Catholic anil Protestant martyrs rejoiced
to die; but Christ had no unnatural desire
| for an unnatural death, lie did all tbat
\ wisdom anil conscience had suggested to
j save his iife: but, when loyalty to truth,
justice and love required him to face his
enemies antl the penalties oi his mission,
He tlid not try to evade his position. But
he laid down bis life in order that ho
might take it again. lie surrendered His
lower life for the sake of his higher life.
He lived the doctrine wbicb he preached:
"He tha 1 loveth bis life snail lose it, and
be that batetb bis life ill this wo: Id shall
keep it unto life eternal.' 1 "For the joy
set before him, he endured tin; cross."' if
Christ had had a full and natural old age.
his life might have been another
revelation of human life, in that case, he
could also have risen from tbe dead. If it
were not undignified for him to be a weak,
helpless anil ignorant infant in his mother's

life and gospel. In the Bible, blood signi

mission which God gave him. He fulfilled
all the dreams and prophecies of tin: race
in his own life and character. He destroyed
the power and fear of death by his resur

soul can gain the sense of immortal life, of

Theosophical
The Theosopbists had a full house at Odd
Fellows' bail last night. Dr. G. F. Molm
gave a very interesting lecture on Sorrow;
Its Cause and Cure, and said in part;
That the eternal and universal reign of
law is not understood by man. Science
seeks for the action of law only in physical
matter and denies its operation on the
planes of soul and spirit. Theology postu
lates the absolute antl then proceeds to de
fine it iv terms of matter. .Man. left thus
ignorant of the knowledge and explanation
of life, with all its variations, its pain and
sorrow, its joys and hopes, naturally bears
his pain and sorrow with piteous com
plaint ami levolts against it and God.
Theosophy shows that in the light of jus
tice, Wbiob reigns universally throughout
nature, man's sorrow and pain are the
effects of causes he alone has generated,
either In this or some previous life: that ho
alone is responsible for his condition. Bad
laws, unequal distribution of wealth, are
not tne cause of man's sorrow. Onr laws
today are the sum total of the thought of
t!i" t me. We violate these: better ones
would be violated. Better men will be
necessary to live up 'o better laws. Social
reform to be effectual must reform the in
dividuals who now violate the laws, else
belter laws would be worse violated.
Self-conscious man endowed with reason
bas the power to choose right from wrong.
If the latter is his choice die effect is pain
antl sorrow. Fins will bring him hack to
the straight line of the law. This he re
peals day by day, life afterlife, until he
learns abd gains the power to live in har
mony With law. i bis is life's great object,
the evolution of the soul. Nature never
compromises, never forgets, never forgives.
Man must pay the price of ins transgres
sions; "ior rigid justice rules the world,"
and man is no exception lo the law. Know
ledge of this, the Karmie law, gives man a
true incentive to do right, without the pro
mise of a golden harp or the threat of a
plunge into a bottomless pit of everlasting
tire. It makes bim responsible for his
thoughts and aota; m ikes him self-reliant;
it gives him strength and nobility of char
acter, instead of making him a sickly,
puny, weakling depending on mercy. No
one can shoulder our burdens for us, any
more than they can enjoy our pleasures for
us. We alone must receive the effects of
the causes we have set in motion, accord
ing to tiie law of cause and effect and abso
lute justice.
Long is tiie task before the soul through
countless lives on earth: no less than to
rase the animal to the divine, to sublimate
matter into spirit, to lead man up the cycle
of evolution bearing with him all the fruits
of wisdom derived from pun and sorrow.
Through thousands of generations the im
mortal thinker, or soul, thus patiently toils
at his mission of leading the animal man
up to the divine. In each life a small ad
vance is made; with many re rogressions
constantly recovered; witii many fai tires
gallantly n ade good: yet on the whole up
wards; the animal lessening, tbe divine in
creasing. Sue iis the story of human evo
lution through pain and sorrow to divinity.
Next Sunday night Mr. A. E. Gibson of
Portland will lecture on "Ihe Genesis oi
Evil."'
Church ot the New Era
At the Church of the New- Era yesterday
Professor Bowman discoursed on the
World's Festival Customs and Their Sig
nificance. In part be said: "Probably no
other phase if human life has been so
closely connected with the charities and
destiny of men and nations as that of
their public amusements, games and fes
tivities. Whatever we may think of the
wisdom or folly of mankind in this respect,
the fact remains that the life and vigor of
ai! nations lias been measured largely by
the character of their public sports antl fes
tivals And if we Btudy these festivals,
not merely as history, but in the light of
tlie philosophy of history, much practical
instruction may be gained.
Festivals, like other historic develop
ments, are ihe offspring of human nature
and environments. At least three elements
of man's nature have combined iv their
production—the religious, the social ami
the dramatic tendencies. Religions myths
have had most to do with ti-.e origin of fes
tivals, which have been celebrated at first
in lienor of fabled gods nnd heroes. Ihe
world has always been controlled more by
Action than by fact, just as the novel and
the drama of todiy are more relished tban
history ami tho actual occurrences of life.
The most aggressive and warlike nations
are those most distinguished for na
tional feasts and spectacles. India,
Egypt and Persia are tame and
peaceful by tlie side of Greece, Macedon
and Koine. Tlie more personal and num
erous tbe gods of the people, the more fes
tivals, and the more fierce and cruel in
character. Happily our modern age of
reason and science is gradually emanci
pating the world from the reign of super
stition. For though most of our own festi
vals are but modifications of pagan feasts,
they have iost their fierceness by ceaßing
to be merely religious orgies, and becom
ing social, secular and humane.

BEHRENDT ASSAULT CASE
It Was Quietly Dropped Under
Peculiar Circumstances
: THE JURY SHOULD INQUIRE
I
Behrendt Was Willing to Pay For
" Squaring " His Case
But WoulJ Not Pay a Fine Under Any Cir
cumstances—Significant Pacts That
May Lead to Something
, -
So much has appeared in THIS Herald
about the "m isterly inactivity"' of the dis
trict attorney"s office that it is a positive
pleasure to be able to state that in somo
j lilies it is just as swift as in others it is
I slow. It is in the dismissal of oritnlnal
1 cases that como up from tbe justices'
courts that the wheels of justice revolve
with lightning-like rapidity, and as somo
;of these cases are comparatively im
portant, it is doubtful whether tho tax
payers who have to foot the bills altogether
approve of this lino of procedure. Of
com se it is conceded that tiie district at
torney's office should exercise reasonable
discretion in the dismiss al of cases when it
is plainly evident that the evidence is so
weak as not to justify proceeding
I with the trial, but it is equally :
' certain tbat this discretion should only be
exercised after the most careful investiga
tion. It is fair, at least, to assume that the
committing magistrate is giftetl with or- j
dlnary common sense; that he is disinter
ested and impartial, and that after hearing
; the evidence he will not put the county to
needless expense in holding over persons
Charged with crime to appear before the
; superior court without there is reasonable
j ground to believe that if prosecuted a cou- j
viction can be secured. An examination i
! entails considerable expense, and after •
| the initial step has bee t taken the prose
cuting officers of the people should be very
| chary about dropping the matter until it
I has been passed unon by a judge and jury.
So much for preliminary'; now as to a few
facts. A Herald reporter has been told a
i story that at least deserves investigation
lat the hands of the grand jury, and as
particulars and names are given it is not be- j
i yond the range of possibilities that some
! thing may be found out. I ho story is a
1 trifle old, but it is seldom that a narrative
of this kind can be given with die particu
larity that this is, and for this reason it is
made public, as an entering wedge for an
official investiga ion of the conduct of the
district attorney's office, which will either
lead to indictments or removals, or the
silencing of a number of ugly rumors that
have been very prevalent for some weeks
past.
But to the story. Some months ago a
j man named Behrendt, with his brother,
! ran a sort of a shoe shop on Los Angeles
i street, near Second. Late one evening a
I bill collector called at the shop to collect a
i bill. A dispute arose, when Behrendt
assaulted the collect >r, striking bim on the
bead with a shoemaker's hammer, cutting
through the hat ami inflicting au ugly
i sea p wound. The man was taken to tne
police station, where his wound was dressed
iv the receiving hospital, ami Behrendt
i was arrested on a charge of assault witb a
I deadly weapon. Behrendt's relatives put
'up a .foOO check as cash bond and be was
released from custody. In due time be
was examined before Justico Morrison, the
hat and the hammer were produced in
court, and the man's bead was ample
proot that an assault bad been committed
as charged. It was a plain, straight case,
and Behrendt was held to answer before
i the superior court.
On being held, Behrendt became very
uneasy and approached the clerk of Justice
Morrison's court to see if something could
not be done to stop further proceedings, or
in other words lo "square" the case. Tbe
eleru told him that there was nothing he
I could do, bu at Behrendt's solicitation, it
:is alleged, ho llnally consented to sec
, Deputy District Attorney James, and see
what could bo done, Mr. James, it is
further alleged, said lhat there was
, nothing: that the best that could possibly
' be hoped for was to plead guilty to a charge
of battery, of an aggravated character,and
\ to pay a tine of one or two hundred dollars.
Behrendt, it is claimed, would not hear to
j this; he did not wish to stand on the
I records as having committed a crime, and
| intimated that he would light it to the last.
Later Behrendt again approached
Justice Morrison's clerk and In
' timated that while be would not
; pay a cent as a fine, there was if Kill in it
if it could be fixed without going to trial.
Again tlie clerk refused to consider such a
proposition, and told Behrendt that the
j case would have to take its course. Beh-
I remit, it is alleged, would not he put oil',
] and again approached tho clerk, saying
' that if ifl-'OO would effect tlie object desired
:it would be forthcoming. Again the pro
i postal was flatly refused. The clerk in the
' meantime had prepared tho papers, and
' sent up the evidence in the shape of the
I crushed hat and the shoemaker's hammer,
: which were duly taken by the clerk in
j charge of criminal exhibits.
And there the matter stopped so far as
! the lower court was concerned. But the
1 case never came to trial. Although tbe
J assauit was committed months ago, noth
-1 I Ins has been heard of it. And now it is
| aileged that it was dismissed on motion of
' | the district attorney's ollieo for want of
| evidence.
• | This is a plain statement of alleged facts
•i as detailed to a Herald reporter. The
■ i grand jury can call witnesses, and die
truth or falsity of the story verified. A
, thorough investigation of this, with other
> cases, is demanded in the interests of all
'. concerned.

EAST SIDE PARK
One ol the Popular Sunday Resorts ot the
City
Among the popular Sunday resorts within
easy access from the center of the city,
East Side park is one of the most beauti fill.
Since tne opening of the electric car line
which runs directly to the gates the num
ber of weekly visitors has greatly increased.
Formerly owing to the great distance se
parating it from the west side of the city
the place was not widely known and few
were aware Ilia such a splendid park exist
ed. As a matter of fact no prettier spot
can be found in this vicinity. The variety
of scenery is far superior to that usually
found in ciiy parks. The lake occupying
the central portion of the reservation has
been surrounded with well kept lawns and
walks and tlie stream which furnishes the
supply of water is so directed as to wind
around in separate branches forming little
islands which are oonhected with the main
land by bridges. In its way to the lake the
stream falls over several cascades adding
greatly to the picturesqueness of the scene.
Wide drives penetrate tbe grounds in
every direction and extend along the hills
between long rows of palms backed with
heavy woods of eucalyptus. Flowers
abound in every direction, and in the large
conservatories are many varieties of rare
and beautiful plants.
Outside of the park are several attract
ions in the way of menageries, The chief
Interest In these rests in the fact that they
contain numerous specimens of California
animal life, including the black bear,
coyotes, eagles and other animals. Both of
the institutions are kept in connection with
restaurants and stores, and all purchasers
are admitted free of charge.
