"Men in Becular life think nothing

that ilios. (lre.it Hod. wake up the
church and make vi rtop thinkinsr of
little things. We musi take Christian
ity to Africa, for, otherwise, wlthlnj
B century it will be a Mohammedan
country."
These were the expressions of Bishop
J. C. Hartzell, Methodist bishop for
the continent of Africa, yesterday
morning at the First Methodist church
In a sermon on his work.
Lons before the hour of the morn
«__ service the eluiwh auditorium,
Sunday school room and galleries
were completely filled and Beveral hun
dred people were turned away, while
many stood throughout the service to
hear the bishop, who was one of the
popular speakers at the general con
ference In Los Angeles six years ago.
In his sermon the bishop gave many
facts about the work in Africa and
paid a hig-h tribute to the well known
officials who have helped In the mis
sion work. The bishop said:
"The eyes of the world have been
opened to Africa and it stands today
as no other continent. It is a large
continent, not simply a country like
the United States or India; it Is a
continent of many countries. Take
China. India and the United States,
and all the countries of Kurope and
place them on the continent of Africa
and you will have room to spare. Fifty
years ago, outside of Egypt, the world
knew little of Africa.
Colonies of Early Rome
"There is a little strip on the Mi l
iterranean whore Rome hart her rich
est colonies. The country Is 6000 miles
from north to smith and BOOT miles
from east to west, and the greater part
of this, with Its millions of people, is
little known.
"In the providence of God In a day
the veil was lifted an,l the world saw
and was amazed. The greatest colonial
empires arc trninc on in Africa today
by more nations than any territory of
the world. France with iis vast terri
tory Is making a new Prance in Al
more wealthy than its Prance in
Europe. Germany is building an em
pire In Africa twenty timea larger
than the Germany In Eui ■ itest
of all. Great Britain has three millions
of square miles In Smith Africa—the
white man's Africa—where a bloody
war has lust been averted by the na
tions. In fifty year- Africa "ill 1"
divided among the nations and without
war There is nothing In the territory
Of the world like It. The best states
men are sent as the governors of
Africa.
Missionary Must Be Statesman

forty millions of people who havi
heard the gospel. In Africa this Sun
day morning there are one hundred
millions of pagan heathen, only a few
of whir hi ard the name of
Jesus Christ —mnre people than there
are in the United States — that conti
nent that gave the Infant Christ a
hiding place; that continent on r
God worked out such wonders: ■■
In *he early years of the Christian
pensatlon, In the second, third and
fourth renturles, 1 11 of
the Christian church was until ■
nut by the Mohammedans, where Cyp
rian, Athanasius and St.
lived.
Hundred Million Pagans
"Men and women, think of It! On
those shores where the early church
thrived, and where the church fathers
lived and died, with all its wealth
and RTrrit future, there ire today more
than a hundred million pagans who
have scarce heard of the name of the
Christ.
"In the mission field the countries
are classed as China first and Africa
second, with Russia third. But there
is an element of emergency in Africa
that places it first In the missionary
field of today. Hear me when I pay
that unless the Christian church ac
cepts the challenge of God that Africa
in fifty or a hundred years, with its
millions of pagans, will be Moham
medan and Africa will be a Moham
medan continent. Do you realize that
there are two hundred and thirty mil
lions of Mohammedans on the earth
taday?
"In the seventh century the Moham
medans went Into Africa and wiped
out the Christian church. Xow you
have the reasons of the misisonary
sattesman and why Africa Is the
greatest point in modern missionary
work."
riislmp Hartzell spoke at length i f
the work already accomplished and
„f thp first missionary conference Uial
will be held on that continent next
Vprll, when lip will preside. Bishop
Hartzell will remain in Los Angeles
until Wednesday.

BISHOP HARTZELL SPEAKS
ON WORK OF MISSIONS
PASADENA, Jan. 16.—Something
the magnitude of the great mission-;
ary work bcin^ done l,y the Metho
dists in Africa was brought homi
people of ['.is ni. N.i this cvi nlng
at a Methodist mass meeting at
First church, which was addresse I by
Bishop .1. ''. Hartzell, in charg
that work "11 the African continent.
Bishop Hartzell told of missionary ef
fort.
In his story the prelate des< 1
the gift of a' trai 1 "i land 1
amount Ing l" a prim ipality to
work by the late Cci II Rhodes, the
South African multi-millionaire. This
land is now improved with bullulngs
which h.r and In which
thousands oi natives are receiving
Christian training and education. He
told of his fund-raising efforts 111
thi L'niti '1 States, from the time when
„ til Roosevell was one of the
speakers al his first public meeting
until the time when President Tafl
cently spoke at a concluding gatl
Ing, tiie president stating thai
wished Bishop Hartzell might take
three million dollars away with him
Instei the J320.000, « hlch wai
tually raised for the work in this
c"t;nt ry.
Something of Hi" magnitude of the
undertaking may be understood from
the fact thai tl ■ dim rent
cts in Africa while the bishop's
printing establishment, in spite of
great effort, is only printing tracts and
. ther literature of the Christian faith,
in eight tongues. The work of reach-
Ing the natives by printer's ink. the
bishop dei tared, is only just begun.
Tiie bishop has been traversing the
dark continent for the past fouri
years, .• initially making a mileage
"which would put many a traveling
man to shame and often going by the
most primitive transportation methods.
In fourteen years it is estimated that
his work has caused him to t:
over 850,000 miles in Africa, often
through brush and jungle.

DREGS OF SOCIETY
SCORED BY PASTOR
VULGAR RICH AND POOR ARE
CLASSED ALIKE
Unitarian Minister Says That Froth
and Dregs Alike Are Respon.
sible for Bitter Evils
of the People
The dregs of society, labeled by the
speaker "the vulgar rich" and "the vul
gar poor," were roundly scored by the
Rev. E. Stanton Hodgln, pastor of the
First Unitarian church, 925 South
Flower street, yesterday in a sermon
on "The One Thing Needful." The
pastor said in part:
"in our social structure today the
two extremes meet in an astonishing
manner, Those who appear to be sep
arated by the entire range of society,
when examined superficially are found
when examined critically to be scarce
ly distinguishable from each other. In
the process of maple sugar making by
boiling down the sweet juice of the
maple tree, the pernicious impurities
are eliminated in two ways. The] Is
a frothy scum 1 1 rises to the surface
and is skimmed off, and there is a sedi
ment that sinks to the bottom
and is strained out, but both are cast
Into tile refuse buckets together.
• "In our human society today the 1 ■!
fish and Irresponsible rich form the
scum that rises to the top because of
its very emptiness and nothingness, as
suming that society exists for the sole
purpose of giving it a surface to float
upon. The Irresponsible and reckless
poor form the social dregs that ill.'
to the bottom by their own Inertia.
These two elements, apparently so far
removed from each other, finally will
find themselves 'mingled indiscrimi
nately in the social refuse piles whither i
they have been cast as useless and
pernicious Impedimenta by a regener
ate society.
"It is a part of the irony of fate that
these two elements should be forced
Into political alliance today. We find
the corporation millionaire who lives in
his gilded palace in the most exclu
sive part of the city fattening on the
special privileges he has wrested from
the state by all kinds of means, polit
ically hobnobbing with the saloon
keeper, dive keeper, gambler and all
the riff-raff, of society. It is a process
of natural selection. They are all par
asites together, and they are being
forced Into each other's company as
they are being slowly but inevitably
sloughed off by the regenerative forces
of society.
"In England today we find the land
lords who have always prided them- I
selves on Ing the very salt of the
earth working cheek by jowl with the
sports, gamblers and vicious elements
of tin country, because they have un
consciously become parasites and must
either mend their ways or take their
places with the other parasites of the
realm*
"The vulgar rich and the vulgar poor
who fancy they are separated by such
a chasm are so much alike and have
BO much in common in the last anal
ysis that it is Impossible to distinguish
the one from the other. They are a
continual source of inspiration and
support to each other. The vulgar poor
live to admire, to envy and to Imitate
the vulgar rich. The vulgar rich live
to be admired, envied and imitated.
They thus encourage and sustain each
other in their folly and superficiality.
"If the poor were not constantly de
moralized by the gilded pageantry and
the vulgar display of wealth that they
si" on all sides of them they would
soon find higher ideals and be actuated
by «obler aims. If the vulgar rich did
not have the constant Inspiration of this
gaping, envious, admiring crowd fol- I
lowing them wherever they go they
would grow sick of tins. 1 and gilding
and would turn their energies and re
sources to more serious ends.
"We need the regenerative power of
a new ideal placed before our youth,
which will enable them to .see that
wealth and business success pursui d
end of Itself leads only to folly
i false life. "When we discover
that the only real satisfaction is the
Ice, of dning the present-day
task as if It v,. re a divine Bervice—an
act of worship—we shall have found
one thing needful."

Vain Search of Diogenes
"Why Diogenes Couldn't Find a

.-aid ill part:
"The excitement in this oriental city

the devils which poasegsed a poor

Jesus coratnlßstoned his disciples he
gald: In my name shall they cast out
devils. 1
"We are justly proud of our city
beautiful, but just as characters are
defiled and degraded by evil, so is our
home city; and just as devils can !><■
expelled from the natures of nun by
the power of Christ, so can devils be
driven out of communities,
"These devils should be killed, and
that without delay. I observed that
recently a preacher somewhere stated
■The devil is a myth.' Well, he is a
very material and deadly myth. When
ever the devil can get a preacher to
make such a statement it is good SVi

"Then are also devils of poverty.

poverty.
"There are devlli of greed and ava

These devils ought to ho destroyed.
Men and women in this cruel and

These human devils are murderers and
ought to be punished as such."

CRETANS RESOLVED
TO THWART AUTONOMY
Little Island with Its Handful of
People Controls a Peculiar
Situation
ATHENS, Jan. 18.—The Cretan! have
resolved to stand out for union with
Greece and to withstand every attempt
at establishing autonomy on any basis
whatever. On this subject there are
no two opinion*, and although Crete is
a little Island, and its Inhabitants a
mere handful of people, yet they can
effectually thwart every experiment
that the powers may make in the direc
tion of establishing home rule in the
country. No cabinet formed under the
nusplces of the powers of Turkey would
be able to hold Its own for one calendar
month.
a serious danger of the situation is
that Crete will draw Greece after her.
When the writ for general elections to
the Athens chamber is issued the
Cretans will elect representatives of
I heir island and send them to the
Greek capital. This they will do be
cause they still consider their island
as annexed to Greece. No one can
bar the way against the Cretan dep
uties The Greek cabinet, whoever
may be at its head, will not disallow
them to enter the parliament as rep
resentatives of ''retail constituencies.
And then the Turks Will ask for their
Innings. That is another source of
danger.
A third Is this: The Military league
in Greece is deeply dissatisfied With
everything done hitherto, and with its
own sell' especially. The league is
keen to do .something-, haying already
spoken and written so much. It is
preparing for war. and is acting on
the supposition that war will break
out this year. Hence the hurried pur
chase of armed cruisers and other
signs of the times.
Lastly, the Turkish committee ami
tlie Ottoman government are anxious
to have, a safe little war thai would
enable iheni to win cheap some prcs
tlge and to hit hard the Greeks of the
Ottoman empire who pursue their own
political ideals and hinder the realiza
tion of those of the Turkish party.
Lastly, a dictatorship is impending In
Greece.

jury from Earthquake
MOBILE, Ala., .Tan. 10.—Swan Island,
860 miles from this Port in the Carib
bean sea, lias been ripped from one end
to the other by seismic shocks, accord
ing- to statements of passengers of the
steamship Carlnto, arriving he.re.
Captain Olson reported that when his
vessel was midway between Port Li
mon Costa Kiea and Corn island th
sea became suddenly turbulent. Waves
rolled mountain high and for a time it
was believed the vessel would be
swamped.
So severe were the seas that the ves
sel was turned completely around.
The island trembled and the tower of
the wireless station swayed so violently
that operators Roberts and Martin ran
from the building' to safety.
A few of the huts were slightly dam
aged. The wireless station, though
temporarily out of commission, was
said to have withstood the .shock.
Captain Olsen said the sea had a
queer effect on the navigation of the
vessel. While it ordinarily took flve
hours to cover the distance between
Corn and Swan Island during- the dis
turbance it required twenty-five hours.
I'm several hours before the disturb
