"FORTIFIED CANAL
STRATEGIC FOLLY"
Reynold Blight of the Los Angeles
Fellowship Scores the Plan
for Guns at Panama
LESSON IN THE NEUTRAL SUEZ
Waterway. He Declares, Can Be
Adequately Protected by
Treaties with Nations
PThe question, "Shall America fortify
the Panama canal?" was answered In
the negative by Reynold E. Blight,
minister of the Los Angeles Fellowship,
in a vigorous prelude yesterday morn
ing. His impassioned appeal to Ameri
ca to lead the world ln a movement
toward universal disarmament was re
ceived with applause by the large au
dience. He said in part:
"We are spending over $350,000,000 to
build the Panama canal. It will be a
triumph .of engineering, a splendid
monument to American genius, and it
will be of inestimable value to the
entire world. The opening of the canal
to commerce will be one of the epochal
events of history.
TREATIES ALONE REQI'IRED
"The fortification of the Panama
canal would be a strategic folly. Forti
fied, it would be the shining mark for
attack in case of war. A well-directed
lire from the guns of the enemy would
reduce this magnificent and beneficent
work to a heap of ruins In a few hours.
Unfortified and protected by treaties
among the nations guaranteeing Its
perpetual neutrality, it would be a bul
wark of national strength. We have a
significant and perfect illustration in
the Suez canal, owned by Great Britain.
Although Europe has been shaken
again - and again during the last cen
tury by mighty wars, the great canal
fhas been safe from attack, its neutral
. ization removing it from the war zone.
Whatever danger there may be from
attack by alien enemies, it is greatly
intensified by fortifications on the
canal.
' GUNS WOULD INVITE WAR
"The fortification of the canal would
be an inexcusable waste of money. It
' is time the people of America awakened
to the appalling cost of the present war
fever. James A. Tawney, chairman of
the house committee on appropriations,
recently made the startling declaration
on the floor of congress that 71 per
cent of the federal revenues were being
spent for past wars on ln preparation
for future conflict. For the past eight
years America's 'armed peace,' has cost
the astounding sum of $1,072,000,000, ex
ceeding the national debt by $16.5,000,000.
This is three times the cost of tarrying
out the whole irrigation program con
templated within a generation. Now It
is proposed that we add many millions
for extensive fortifications to the canal,
fifty millions for the initial expenditure
and millions for maintenance. Th«
•canal must be adequately policed, but
maintaining order is a far different
matter from military fortification.
"Europe groans beneath the crushing
burden of militarism. It is a merciless
bondage, clogging the wheels of prog
ress, demoralizing industry, levying a
frightful tribute upon commerce and
reducing the people to the conoltion of
serfs, cowering beneath the whips of
the war lords. The nations of the world
are appealing in agony to the brave,
strong, idealistic, young giant of
America to lead the way toward uni
versal peace and disarmament. This
is her splendid opportunity to prove
her confidence in her sister nations, to
demonstrate the purity of her national
ambitions, to show her true belief in
the principles of justice and brother
hood; and to affirm her faith In the
' future. If she rises to the splendid pos
sibilities %t this test she will set the
cause of peace forward fifty years. May
the blemish of mounted guns never mar
the glorious achievement at Panama.
VISITING PRIEST GIVES
SERMON AT HOLY CROSS
The solemnity of the feast of Exalta
tion of the Holy Cross was observed
with elaborate services yesterday
morning at the Church of the Holy
Cross, which was also the closing ot
a triduum held in the parish in honor
of the patronal feast of the church.
The Rev. T. F. Fahey, the pastor,
was celebrant of the mass. A special
musical program was rendered and the
altars were elaborately decorated with
red American Beauty roses.
The Rev. P. McLaughlin of Hanford,
who has preached the sermons of the
triduum, preached at the solemn mass
yesterday. He said in part:
"The church of God celebrates the
exaltation of him .who died for us on
the cross. By the glorious death on
the cross Christ triumphed over sin
and death and established his kingdom
over all souls and reigns by grace
in the present life and by glory for
all eternity.
"Our religious teachings must be
false if they come from any other
source than Christ on the cross. Our
holy church presents to the faithful
the cross with Christ on it—we dp not
separate Christ and the cross.
"The sentiments of St. Paul preach
ing to the Galatlans, 'with Christ I
am nailed to the cross,' should be our
sentiment today. He warns them
against sensual or worldly minded
people whom he called enemies of the
cross of Christ. How happy are we
today who are devoted followers of
Christ and the teachings of him from j
tho altar of the cross.' How cheerfully
we embrace the trials of life, because
the holy virtues of poverty, obedience,
humility, mortification of the flesh,
as taught by Christ, are the instru
ments of joy in our battles with the
enemies of the cross. What the cross
and its history condemn are pride,
ambition and avarice. The fundamen
tals of our holy religion we find beau
tifully set in the beatitudes, every
one of them defended by you when
practicing what our holy church teach
es."
Father McLaughlin congratulated
the parish on the work accomplished
and the happy relations of pastor and
people, saying that few parishes en
joyed happier conditions than those
of the Holy Cross, He commented
with fervor on the work being com
pleted for the new parish school and
hall. $2000 having been raised during
September for this new enterprise by
the congregation.
At the close of the mass Father Fa
hey, the pastor, announced that the
Sisters of St. Joseph from St. Mary's
academy would have charge of the
new parochial school which will be
opened one week from today with a
rapacity for more than 200 children.

M'KINLEY'S HOME LIFE
THEME OF DR. LOCKE
Minister Pays Tribute to the Late
President's Home Love and
Religious Character
Dr. Charles Edward Locke, at the
First Methodist Episcopal church, last
evening, delivered the • second section
of a sermon on "A Recent Pilgrimage
to the Home and Tomb' of William
McKinley." Dr. Locke spoke last even
ing of McKinley as "a statesman, a
churchman and a home man." "Nearer,
My God, to Thee," and "Lead, Kindly
Light," and other songs which were
favorites of the lamented president
were sung. The text was, "A devout
man and one that feared God with all
his house," from Acts, 10:2.
"In the magnificent memorial win
dows In McKlnley's home church the
martyred president," said Dr. Locke, "Is
compared to the brave centurion, Cor
nelius," who lived in Caesarea in the
days when It was revealed to Peter
that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was
for the Gentiles as well as for the
Jews.
"When McKinley came to be presi
dent he showed how clear was hi*
knowledge of the deep and abiding
principles of profound statesmanship.
He saw and outlined the policy which
must be pursued with regard to trusts
and great corporations, as well as of
reciprocal relationships with foreign
nations. His honored successor ln
carrying out the McKinley ideas has
made for himself a phenomenal place
in American statecrapt. Mr. Cortelyou,
who was McKlnley's private secretary
1 during all of his term in the White
House, says:
" 'The theory that Mr. McKinley sub
ordinated his judgment to the will of
Senator Hanna or of anybody else is
a delusion. He was always the master.
He had the gentle persistency of Lin
coln. I was with him night and day,
and I know that he was always the
master.'
"McKinley was a home maker, a
home lover, a home defender. As son,
brother, husband and father, he was
dutiful, affectionate and gallant. He
was the product of a happy home, and
his knightly sword was always un
sheathed ln defense of the fireside and
all Its divine associations. And when
at his inauguration he stooped and
kissed his proud and happy mother, he
only gave hack to her the token of
knighthood which she had first given
to him. A mother's kiss! Oh, holy
accolade! ' •
"In his religious life William Mc-
Kinley was an exemplary Christian
gentleman. He reverenced the Sabbath,
he loved to pray and was often at a
throne of grace, he read and studied
the Bible and taught and lived its
beautiful precepts. He was a man of
unbounded faith in Christ and pos
sessed a child-like confidence in the
Father of Nations. In the trying
ordeals of public life the path was
well beaten between his needy heart
and the throne of the infinite.
"In the death of William McKinley
the pulses of a new heroism are throb
bing in the hearts of our countrymen.
This was expressed by a man in the
suburbs of Buffalo, who said, 'William
McKinley died more like Jesus Christ
than any man in history,' and he there
upon, for the first time, forsook his
unbelief and adopted the faith of Mc-
Kinley.
"William McKinley will live forever
In the love and memory of this na
tion The story of his life of achieve
ment, of his tragic death and of raptur
ous ascension will be Immortalized In
song and statue and sermon, but those
memorials will be the most enduring
which consist of human lives emulating
and Imitating the superb Christian
character of our martyred hero.
CLAIMS VITAL TRUTHS
DIVINE REVELATIONS
In his sermon on "Revelations from
God" yesterday morning at the First
Unitarian church, , Rev. E. Stanton
Hodgin said in part: .**,.,
"Every discovery of a vital truth is
a revelation from 3od. Suci revela
tions come as readily to those having
at fcxed conception oi God as to those
who do. The Magna Charts, and the
Declaration of Independence were as
truly revelations from God as the laws
of Moses. Bach in its own time fur
nished humanity with a set of princi
ples around which it could rally and
which filled it with high purpose. Each
furnished a starting point from which
great Institutions have sprung that
have blessed mankind. Charles Darwin
and Herbert Spencer did fqr their time
what the book of Genesis had done
for preceding ages and their writings
were as truly inspired by God as any
tint ever came from the pen of man.
They furnished man with a new point
: of vision from which to Interpret life.
It means a great Impetus forward.
"The greatest need of our ago Is a
clear-cut conviction that there Is a
divine plan permeating all things and
the sense of responsibility that such a
conviction carries with it. The worst
symptom of our time is a certain shal
low skeptislsm that causes so many to
feel that this is a sort of easy going,
loose jointed universe, that there Is
nothing in the nature of things that
holds one to any strict account for the
course he pursues, that it doesn't mat
ter much whether one leaJs a partic
ularly straight life or not, so lie avoids
extremes; that to drift along as others
do, to exercise some care not to vio
late many of the superficial conven
tionalities of life, is about the most sat
isfactory life to live. We n.vi more
of the straight up and down conscious
ness that divine law permeates all,
that there is a plan of life that can
not be violated without briigin.^ dis
aster, that 'whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap;' that right
eousness alone exalteth a people. We
need the conviction that our workshops
and places of business are temples of
the living God and that our activities
and transactions there are the only ac
ceptable worship."
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 19, 1910.
DEFINES MEANING
OF WORD H-O-M-E
Dr. Brougher Preaches Last of
Sermons on 'How to Be
Happy Tho' Married'
ILLUSTRATES WITH ACROSTIC
Claims Society Becoming More
and More Insincere and
Inhospitable
Last night Dr. J. Whiteomb F.rough
er preached at the Auditorium to a
crowded house the last sermjii In the
series son "How to He Happy Though
Married." His subject was "Home,
Sweet Home—the Best Place on
Earth."
Dr. Brougher said in part:
"The four letters that spell the little
word 'HOME' mean a vastly different
thing to different people. To one it
stands for unrest, and quarrels, and
wrangles, and nagging, and sin, and
sorrow; to another It stands for all
that Is sacred and sweet, kind and
gentle, loving and holy. To one it is
a hell on earth; to another lt is a
heaven. The home at Bethany was
the vestibule of heaven. Let us try
to catch the' secret of its happiness.
I believe we may flnd them in the let
ters which compose the name
'H-O-M-E.*
SOCIETY IS ICY
"1. The letter 'H' stands for genuine
'Hospitality.' This Is one of the chief
characteristics of all the homes men
tioned in the Bible. In Christ's day
and country all the homes were open
to stranger or friend. This was pre
eminently the characteristic of the
home at Bethany. Here Jesus often
came to rest' and to enjoy the com
pany of Mary, Martha and Lazarus.
But hospitality is not greatly prac
ticed today. As the cities increase In
size, real homes decrease, and many
live in apartments and flats, with no
room to raise children or entertain
their friends. Society is becoming
more and more Inhospitable. Fre
quently it Is a great social sea. in
which Icebergs grind against Iceberg*,
and you feel much like an icicle ln
its swirl. There are places In this
warm climate where any one can be
given a chill in five minutes. A warm
grasp of the hand is an insult, the sin
cere expression of good feeling is rude,
the hearty lough is considered the
sign of an empty head, and all real,
genuine sincerity Is 'out of place.' ■ <
FLATS DECEITFILNESS
"To feel at home there must be sim
ply the smile and the 'E' and the 'Oh'
and the 'Ah,' the 'kangaroo bend' and
the 'monkey handshake,' and the lying
expression that you have had a most
'dee-llghtful' time,' while your hostess
returns the' lie by saying she hopes
that you'll 'come again.' But thank
God there are true homes which give
us' still an expression of genuine hos
pitality. They can be found In all
parts of the country, and many are
still found here in Los Angeles. There
ought to be more of them where Christ
im always welcome, and where his
spirit controls all its activities.
"2. The letter 'O' stands for 'One
ness' of purpose and aim. At the mar
riage altar the preacher pronounces
the couple 'one.' Which one is some
times uncertain. But every true home
should be bound together by the ties
of genuine love. Too much cannot be
said today against marriages made for
money, or the basing of the home life
upon anything but the purest and
truest love. Standing in the divorce
court, or reading the newspapers, one
cannot help but feel that much that
is called love today has no foundation
in fact. A home that is cemented to
gether upon a basis of lust or passion
or money is bound to fail.
"3. The letter 'M' stands for mutual
helpfulness. Home is the place where
every member of the family should find
recuperation and renewed strength for
life's battles. Life is a warfare; home
is where the father and his little army
equip themselves for the day's battle.
What a blessing it is to have some
place to stack your arms, to drop your
knapsack, and flnd rest from life's
cares and struggles. Here Is the place
where we should bear one another's
burdens. Father and mother, son and
daughter, should each be working to
make home happy for the other.
"4. The letter 'E' stands for 'Ever
lasting joy and happiness. The ideal
home, after all, should be a type of
heaven. If it is to be, Jesus Christ
must be the center of that home. The
chief characteristic of heaven will be
the presence of him who died to re
deem a lost world."
NATIVES DESTROY SHOPS
IN CHINESE TURKESTAN
Treasurer Believed to Have Been
Victim in Uprising
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 18.—News
was brought from Peking by the
steamer Empress of China, of a serious
