SAID IN THE CHURCHES
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT
WORD BUT POWER
Mi IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT
Dean Phillips at Simpson—Religious
Outlook—What Righteousness
Says and Mcar.s
Key. J. H. Garrison of St. Louis preached
at the First Christian church last night
upon "The Religious Outlook." "There is
a general expectation," said tho speaker,
"of events of great importance that will
tnke place very soon, of great changes that
will soon be brought about, and the most
important of Ihcse changes*la that which
is connected with religious life and thought.
The whole trend of the literary thought of
this age emphasizes that truth. The great
books of tho age are religious. This Is
necessary because man is a worshiping
being. Great changes are being wrought in
the theology of the age. which is becoming
more rational and Christian.
"The proper place of theology as a con
ception of God and not a test of fellowship.
Is being recognized. The outlook for the
Ulb'.e in its eventual dominance of hatnan
thought wns never so great cr it
holds its supremo place i:i the world's
thought ns never before. Christianity, too.
Is more vigorous than at any time in its
history, it goes forth for conquering and
Subjugating the world to Its dominance.
"What is the outlook concerning the
disciples of Christ? Is this great religious
body tn go on to greatness or to crumble
into Insignificance? Xo religious bony is
growing in this country so rapidly. There
must be some reasons for this fact. They
may be found In its pica lor Christian
union, v standing together of all Christians
against sectarianism. This body exalts
Christ and not dogma or doctrine as su
preme in the Christian system and as the
confession of faith of the children of God.
"This people gives great prominence to
the word of God us i:s rule of faith, and
doctrine, and life. This truth Is a great
element of power and growth. Then the
emphasis this body has given to ,he plain
conditions of salvation, its definite answer
as to what men must do to be saved, has
largely contributed to the rapid growth
of tills religious body. This people stand
ready for any new truth and are unfettt red
in their desire for new truth. They are
ever ready for Its incoming power."
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Not in Word, But in Power. Subject of
a Sermon by Rev. Howard
The Rev. Kurt llstes Howard preached
yesterday morning in the First Presbyte
rian church from for. 1. lv:S0 "For the
kingdom of Clod Is not in word, hot in
power." Mr. Howard said in parti "Noth
ing work:- longer hours and for shorter pay
than the tongue, it Is a trite savins hut
a true one that 'talk Is cheap.' Tin re Is
an economic reason for It. Talk is cheap
because there Is an overproduction of
Oheap talk.
"Speeches and preaching get their power
from the spirit of the man behind them:
the force is not in declamation. Put ln in
spiration. The result of overmuch speech
is an exaltation of opinions and id as. It
is a shifting of the stress from principles
to mere forms; from life to he lived to the
dogmas to he believed.
"The kingdom of Qod Is not a schemi —
not a legislation, but an inspiration. The
mistake in much of the reform movements
is that it begins at the wrong end. For,
unless you Inspire men with tbe power of
moral purpose unless you plant at the
of our social life, integrity, truth, the love
of Justice and the uplifting of a righteous
Ideal, you have not secured the kingdom of
God.
"Society is not an Institution, it is tin or
ganism, it is not a thine that is hnllt from
Without! it grows from within. The
way to increase an institution la to add
to it from the outalde; the way to develop
an organism la to enlarge its life. Society
needs inspiration more than legislation.
Not that legislation is not efficient it is
efficient, hot it is not sufficient
"Our social problem is vital rather than
legislative. We no not need better laws
so much as we need better men; given
them, life will manifest Itself by its own in
herent laws, (live us honest, just, Chrlstly
men and the problems of society will settle
themselves.
"If the world is to be redeemed into a
righteous kingdom, and I believe it Is. It
will not be redeemed by political i conomics
or social theories or religious creeds and
confessions, but by living men who are the
agents of a living spirit that makes for
righteousness. It Is the pentecoatlng of
our dally life that we want.
"Tho world is foil enough of opinions and
Ideas. It is scant of power. The earth is
crammed with notions and conceptions and
theories of God, but no great living spirit
of God Is Inspiring Its business and Its
polities. There 'synergy enough expended
In the wagging .if tongues well nigh to run
the world's machinery If it croud be util
ized, but What we n< ed is fewer words and
more divine impulse.
"We have played at Christianity long
enough; it Is lire we need—the burning,
glowing inspiration of the spirit of truth
and love and righteousness. Let us be
better men and wo shall have a better
world" .
AN IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT
Rev. David Walk at the Church of
Christ
Rev, David Walk, in the Church of Christ
on Eighth street near Central avenue, yes
terday rend Rom. 12:17-21, and announced
as the subject of his sermon: "An Irrepres
sible Conflict." Irrepressible, therefore of
necessity. The tight lor pr< sent victory
and the consummation of our hope In Jesus
Christ is on. and we must either overcome
or he overcome. The common method i.
to light evil with evil. This stems to be
the easy way because of Its naturalness.
We in ed imt train our children In this
direction. They will take to it as ducks
take to water. Good fur evil Is God-like:
good for good is man-like; evil for good is
devil-like.
To render evil for evil is easy because It
costs neither prayer, watchfulness nor self
abasement; on the contrary, we have the
devil and all the had passions of our soul;
to help us. It Is thought to be manly and
courageous, and mi n, governed by this
principle, talk of the "code of honor." Hut
a duel settles nothing except the folly of
those wlio resort lv it.
Retaliation does not succeed. As Well
pour oil on flames io extinguish them. We
can sustain no injury from an • nemy equal
to that Which we Inflict upon ourselves.
We hold the sharp edge of the blade and
present him with the hilt. It is as true to
day as when the words tell from the Hps
of Christ, that "all liny who lake the
sword shall perish with the sword."
Christ's method Is lo overcome evil with
good, and it is his method to which we
aspire. It Is not merely passive non-re
sistance, but positive benevolence which
Christ inculcates. Evil is to be overcome
with good, and the hungry eni my is to be
fed. This method Is an absolute preserva
tive. To meet curses with blessings can
not hurt. You cannot afford to steal with
the thief. Returning good for evil reflects
honor upon Christ. 11,, prayed tor his mur
derers, and died for them, and we have not
the spirit of Christ, we are none of his.
There is but one right way, and that Is
Christ's. To pursue any other is to Imperii
our souls.
WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS SAYS
Rev. Rico on Nature and Extent of
Salvation
"What Righteousness Says of the Nature
and Extent of Salvation" whs ihe subject
of Rev. A. A. Rice's discourse al Cale
donia ball yesterday, from I. Tim., 11:4;
"Who will have all men to he saved and to
come unto a knowledge of the truth." in
part Mr. Rice said: "Wo conceive that
'truth' ln the text is synonymous with
right, hence the meaning Is that God will
have all men to come unto the knowledge
of the right and be saved.
I ■ l inn.
"Thus the text tells us the character
and extent of salvat lon. The consciousness
or knowledge of the rlßht docs away with
that conception which relegates salvation
to the future life, and to some other clime
than the earthly; and which Widens the
difference between the upper and lower
classes of humanity, perpetuating caste
and discord. Righteousness supplements
the Idea that salvation Is 'belief on the
Lord Jesus Christ' to the exclusion of good
works, by averring that such belief is but
tho beginning l of life and character.
"Our knowledge of the right declares that
righteousness is salvation both here and
now. The principle of right in man has
kept theologians of the past two or three
hundred years at the task of exonerating
God's Justice in dealing with his children.
Today It is believed that the majority of
mankind w Id be saved, and that the minor
ity, and not God. are responsible fur their
lost Condition, Which is a partial vindica
tion only. Righteousness also scouts the
Idea of llxlty of character, prorlalminghell
torments or regret to be the result of trans
gressing the knowledge of what Is right,
and declaring free will to choose. Univer
se 1 salvation Is the great proclamation of
righteousness."
THY WILL BE DONE
Dean Phillips' Sermon Yesterday at
Simpson Tabernacle
The pulpit at Simpson tabernacle was
tilled yesterday morning by Perm Phillips
of the University of Southern California,
who chose for his text the words from
the Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be done."
Ile said ill part:
Man is a creature of law and is sub
ject to law—natural, moral and spiritual.
Men llrst reasoned out rhe theories and
systems of law, and then there came to
them the revelation of law.
It has been only in recent years thai
men have discovered tbe great forces of
power that have for all the past centuries
remained dormant nnd unknown. Cod has
given us the power to overcome our woes
If we will put ourselves in position to do
so. and study Ills divine will.
We cannot overcome our prejudices and
reach out to till that need our aid. yet it
is neeesary fo_\ us to rise above this to
fulfil] our 11111* to man and Cod. When
we are placed In position where we feel
we arc unable to bring to puss what wo
feel is light, and our trust and faith hi
tn God. He will bring it to pass. Our
Father brings ns into common relationship
wttn Him as His children.
The hams of our Father is hallowed l>>
every otte who turns to Him: and there is
nothing In the Lord's Braver that cannot
be realised by every Christian. The King
dom of heaven will conn to us vast as
wo. in our actions and faith, help to bring
It about. We must stop sinning: OUT lives
must be clean. We cannot cheat our fel
low-men ami have the kingdom of God 111
SALVATION ARMY
Monster Meetings This Week—Gen
eral Booth Will Spcik
General William Booth, "Father a"«
leader ot' the world-wide Salvation Army,
will reach here Friday morning, and will
speak at Simpson tabernacle that after
noon and at Hazard's pavilion the sam<
evening.
Gen. r.il Booth will be accompanied by
Commander Booth-Tucker, in command of
the Fulled States forces, who is already
well known here; CommissionerKicoll, ed
itor in chief of all Salvation Army publi
cations in Great Brit.tin: Lieutenant Col
onel W. Evans, commander of tho Pacific
coast division: Consul Emma Booth-
Tucker, second oldest daughter of the
general and wife of Commander Booth-
Tucker.
Colonel Lawley, a magnetic singer, and
Brigadier Alice Lewis, the converted Ital
ian opera singer and pianist, will also be
here and add materially to the musical
part of the meetings.
The valuable work nnd widespread good
of the Salvation Army here Is too well
known to need repetition. Within three
months the army has extended its field in
three dire :tlons, all of which are progress
ing as fast as hard work and earnest Inter
est can push them.
Property on the Bast Side which will be
used as a rescue home, under charge of t he
tho army, has already been acquired and
tlie first payment made. Money is being
raised as rapidly as possible tit clear off
the debt, and the home will be put in opera
tion very shortly.
The Flower Festival home, whlcb was
leased to the army about six w< eks ago,
Is in a very satisfactory condll ion: twenty
flve young women are living there and
find it a most homelike and respectable
boarding house.
Down on Upper Slain street is the Work
ingtnan'a Metropole, under the charge of
Ensign C. w. Bourne. Although it is only
two months old it shelters ami feeds over
two hundred some days, on others perhaps
there will not be more than one hundred
and fifty or seventy-live.
Meals are given in this hostelry for five
cents apiece, beds are furnished for five
cents more, and although the Metropole is
on a pretty good paying basis, considerable
money has been spent In plumbing nnd
other Improvements, and pretty soon more
blankets will b.- needed for some that are
now loaned. Therefore any assistance In
the way of blankets, other bedding, or. in
deed, any articles that people I an nnd will
spare will be put to the best use by the
good men and women whose life work Is
that of helping unfortunates to help them
selves In so many ways.

THROOP INSTITUTE WORK
NOVEL DISPLAY'oF MODELS AND
SPECIMENS
Practical Application of Knowledge
to Useful Purposes by Students
in the Shop and Studio
Two windows on Broadway at Third
street and at fifth street are at
tracting spectators hy novel nnd In
teresting spectators. thos of the
Throop Institute of Pasadena. The plan
of a popular exhlhit Is a good one, for It
shows lo the public that Southern Califor
nia possesses a school conducted on the
most advanced principles of manual train
ing. One hears such comments as "I didn't
know that they made those things nt
Throop." Of course not. and the purpose
of the display is to show tho public that
manual training Is not merely a tine edu
cational theory, but a practical applica
tion of knowledge to useful purposes.
ln the window of the Hawley-King car
riage repository are full sets of models of
the Swedish sloyd work, as taught to pu
pils of all ages. Specimens of turning and
Joining from the wood shop and exercises
involving the principles of forging ar.d
w elding In Iron anil steel are on display.
The machine and pattern shops of
Throop. equipped with the finest plant on
the coast outside of San Francisco, con
tribute machine details, designed, pat
terned and finished in the institute. The
drill press on display is one piece of me
chanical construction that gives a slight
idea of the facilities of such a shop for
machine construction. Draftings, blue
prtnts and architectural drawings show the
principles of mechanical drawing as ap
plied to designing, surveying or architec
ture.
The specimens of ornamental Iron work,
a musio rack and a dictionary holder, de
- g-n .1 and forged by students in the iron
Shop, Show the affinity of the beautiful and
the useful.
These represent but a few departments
■:' the School, for photographs and printed
information give an idea of the wider
range of polytechnic courses.
An art display that suggests the studio
rather than the school room includes wood
carving, clay moulding, drawing and
painting'
A massive oak frame and an oak tabouret
■if Moorish design arc striking features, as
also a mahogany hall chair in the style of
the Renaissance.

Firearms Are Not Toys
Two no>!■•• death's have lately resulted
from "didn't know It was loaded" accidents
—a mother killing her babe, and a boy al
most having his bend blown oil. Revolvers
and guns are dangerous under all circum
stances. Firearms are not toys. It Is also
unsafe to lillle with what uro termed
minor ailments. Insignificant though they
seem at first, they are likely. If precau
tions against their further development arc
neglected, or they are unwisely treated, to
develop into maladies of dangerous anil
complex magnitude. The best way Is to
arrest their progress at tip, start with
Hostetter's Stomach Hitters, which checks
constipation, liver complaint and rheumat
ism, malaria, kidney trouble and nervous
ness. A decline in health is something
we cannot afford to disregard. Nature al
ways exacts a severe penalty for contin
uous heedlessness of her warnings. In
dependently of its sterling efficacy as a
specific for chronic maladies, the Rlttorti
is a superb tonic und promoter of appetite
and sleep.

FROM ALCOHOLIC PARALYSIS
THE MISERABLY BESTIAL DEATH
OE A DRUNKARD
Pablo Pareda, a Ranch Hand, Dies
a Death That Would Dis
grace a Dog
PASADENA, Feb. CO,-<Offlce of The
Herald, 08 Fast Colorado street.) Pablo
l'areda, a Mexican laborer w ho lives on the
Alien ranch, a few miles northeast of this
city, came to his death last night In an ex
traordinary manner. Pareda lived ln an
adobe cottage used for the lodging of tlie
ranch hands and kept by a Mexican named
Coronado. The house is next door to the
one In which Mrs. Juan Orasco. the bride
of seventeen da>s. was found dead a few
weeks ago and with w hose death her hus
band was charged, though the charge did
not hold. Last night Tareda and three
or four companions got two gallons of
wine und became ""beastly drunk. They
turned into their hunks and lay In a stupor.
These bunks are lowly in the extreme.
The one upon which the dead man lay was
composed of two BaW'horses, across which
three ordinary pine board! hud been laid.
Upon this l'areda lay rolled up In his
blanket, having his coat for a pillow. Dur
ing the night one of Pareda'! companions
attempted to awake him and found Ills
body cold and stiff. This di. net seem lo
impress the drunken Mexican much, as
no word was received of tbe case until
S oclock this morning, when Coronado tel
ephoned from Lamanda l ark. The dead
man was found lying on his back In a
horrible condition, ills face was black
and bore every sign of death by strangula
tion. The coroner decided that death was
caused by Pareda'! own vomit, which had
entered his lungs and smothered him while
alcoholic paralysis prevented his turning
over and vomiting naturally. Pareda was
an alvlebodied man und had lived In this
county twelve years, coming here from
Mexico. He was unmarried.

THE INDEPENDENTS
Birth of a New Political Party For
Local Work
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 10.—Ey the
prrs. Nt prospect, there is to he no fusion
in the Ban Bernardino county political
campaign. The Democrats and Populists
and Silver Republicans will each have their
central committees n~d their separate or
ganisation for work ln national and s:ate
polities. A new party, the "Independ
ent." was born last night, christened and
baptised, and this morning can walk alone
and promises to be a "fine broth of ahoy."
It combines. as Its name implies, every
thing outside the ancient Republican or
ganization, and In Its ranks are many sur
prises in the way of proselytes of those
who were supposed to be solid on that
side. The call issued by a meeting last
night composed of the prominent men In
politics nil over the county, of every shade
of tle.ugh*. was adopted unanimously and
is as follows:
"We. the undersigned citizens and voters
of San Bernardino county, California,
hereby declare that It Is our belief that
the welfare of the people of this county
can best be secured by the election of
men to office who are free from the en
tanglements of party obligations and
party rings—men whose obligations ar.: to
the people and not to precinct and party
bosses; men pledged to and upon whom a
constituency can rely for thorough and
economic administration of government.
"And. further, that we recognise in the
single gr.i.l standard for this nation a sub
tle and powerful enemy to the welfare of
our producing masses and a friend only
t'» the aristocracy of wealth as exemplified
tn trusts, banking syndicates ar.d corpora
tions.
"Therefore v. - *- favor the formation of a
county political organisation to ho known
and designated as the Independent
party, and that said party shall rail a
county convent ion for t be purpose or nomi
nating • andidates for oounty and township
officei. to be filled by tho general election
In I^ik.
"All persons shall be eligible to partici
pate In said convention and in all meetings
and primaries preliminary to the forma
tion of the same who shall subscribe to
the following declaration of principles:
