Notice to the Public! On and after September 1st, 1907, I will sell no more bread or bread tickets on credit. My reasons for establishing a cash basis are too numerous to men tion, however, will mention a few : First. The material from which bread is made is bought strictly for cash, and must be sold accordingly. Second. Bread is sold lor too small a margin to pay for carrying an entry through the number of books it must go when charged. Last, but not least, purchas ers of tickets frequently receive bread from the driver without giving him a ticket, as they are not convenient, and when bills are presented they are under the impression that tickets have been given in exchange and unpleasant feelings are caused when such bills are presented to both purchaser and collector. 1 trust you will thoroughly understand my position and real'ze it is to the best interest of both purchasers and myself that I establish a cash basis, and always send cash when } T ou want tickets or bread, and I M shall continue to strive to de serve your patronage.

Calmagc Sermon By Rev. Frank De Witt Talmstfe, D. D. I .os Angelos, t’al., Sept. S.—In this sermon ie preacher inculcates the les son that God rules all things and cun turn the apparent trivialities of life into events of the mightiest importance and highest beneficence. The text Is 1 Kings xxil, 34. “And a certain man drew a bow at a venture and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness.” I once held in my hand a little Bible that had been carried by a soldier all through the civil war. It had been given to him when be was a young recruit. He always kept it in his breast pocket, just over his heart. In one of the great battles a Confederate bullet plowed its way through three- fourths of that book and knocked the man senseless, but that Bible stopped the bullet on its journey. “And,” said the old soldier. “God saved my life by that book on account of my mother’s prayers.” Do I believe that? Most certainly. Paul tells us in the epistle to the Ephesians that the shield of faith is able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, so in times of bat tle God can direct the course of every bullet and every missile. He can pro tect his children In times of danger as well as save them from destruction after they have become helpless. During the late civil war the two armies were being concentrated near Hawk’s Nest Bluff in West Virginia. One day an Ohio regiment was seen to emerge from the woods. Some sharpshooters were watching it. among whom was William Phillips, afterward General Phillips. No sooner did the Union soldiers appear than young Phil lips borrowed a long range rifle and took steady aim at the colonel riding at the bead of his troops, but the sharpshooter's rifle was aimed just a little too high, and, instead of crushing into tin* brain, the bullet took off one of the plumes of the colonel’s hat. Thirteen years after the war was end ed General Phillips was visiting the White House at Washington. In the presence of Rutherford B. Hayes he was telling of this incident. Presi dent Hayes remarked: “Yes. I remem ber that shot. 1 was that Ohio colonel you shot at.” God had a bigger work f©r Rutherford B. Hayes than to let him be slain in skirmish. He wanted him to live to become the chief execu tive of our nation. God never lets a man die before bis life’s work is fin ished. He can protect his children in times of danger as well as rescue them after they have been overthrown by misfortune and beeome helpless. God's Omnipotent Power. But, though God can protect a man when he wishes, he can also destroy a man when he wills. He can direct the stone from the sling of David to the forehead of Goliath and cause him to die. He can foretell the death of Jezebel by the walls of Jezreel. and, no matter what the recreant queen may do or where she may go, she cannot escaiie. And God could also foretell the fate of King Ahub. When Elijah pointed the huger of condemnation at the murderer of Naboth and said, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine,” he was the messenger of God foretelling bow Ahab was to die. And when three years later King Ahab was in battle and an unknowu soldier put an arrow to his bow and pulled it up to the tip and let it fly God di rected the course of that arrow, and It smote the king In the joints of his armor, and he died, and thus was the prophecy fulfilled. Now, the whole point of my sermon is this—the soldier who shot that ar row did not know where it was going, but God directed its course. And to day 1 want you to be very careful about the random arrows you let fly. It is never safe, for a man to shoot off a gun unless he knows where he is shooting or else he might hurt some- l>ody. There are other injuries, too, that we may do. A heedless word or an inconsistent act may do another an irreparable injury. We may have no malice against him, but casually, inadvertently, we may cause a wound that wiil never heal. “And a certain man drew a bow at a venture and smote the king of Israel between the Joints of bis harness.” A Lesson From a Legend. If this fact be true, then, my broth er, I want you to be very careful how you deal w ith your fellow men in ref erence to j our public profession of faith in Jesus Christ. I start on the fremise that you are a Christian. You may be a very poor Christian; I grant that You may be leaving undone those things which you ought to do and may be doing those things which you ought not to do. But if I should ask you today what is your hope of immortality you would emphatically answer, “My only hope of a hereafter is my firm belief in the pardoning and saving power of the atoning blood of Jesus Christ” You are like St. Veronica as de scribed by the legend of old. Accord ing to tradition, St. Veronica was a pious woman of Jerusalem. When Je sus was being led forth to his cmcl- flxlon, staggering under the weight of his cross, the blood and the perspira tion were rolling from his face and body. Christ was tottering along from weakness. Taking pity on him, St. Veronica took her bead cloth to wipe his face and cleanse bis brow. When Jesus gave Veronica back her cloth the lineaments of bis face bad been Imprinted upon It, and the old legend tells us it was from this imprint that the present Idea of Jesus’ features have been copied. Has it not been so with the children of godly parents? The Christian mother has so loved Jesus that his spiritual image has been impressed on her very garments and on the wrappings that she puts around her child. We have seen his face in the garments of our childhood. We see today his face in the mantles of manhood and womanhood, and we shall also see his divine face in the shrouds which shall yet clothe our dead t»odies. Yet if I should come to some of you today and say, “Are you a follower of Jesus Christ? Do you stand before all the world and say, Tie is my Saviour and my Lord?’ ” some of you would have to answer, “No.” You l)elieve in Christ In your heart, but you are not willing to pro fess him with your lips. Now comes the pertinent question: “Why do you not make this public profession? Why not say: ‘Christ is my all In all. He is my only support on this side and my only hope for the other side of the grave. I ask you again. Why do you not do thus? The Worthiest Christian. “Well,” you answer, “what Is the good of my doing it? In the first place, I am not wealthy. If I make, public profession of Christianity and join the church, I cannot afford to give much money, and the church does not want me unless I am able to pay. Then I cannot attend church often. I am so bound down to the store and the home that when Sunday comes I am just too tired to go out. Then I have not any special ability. I cannot sing or pray in public or teach a Bible class. It does not matter much wheth er I join the church or no. I might as well stay out as to go there and be a perfect nonentity.” No, my brother and sister, you may make those ex cuses, but you know deep down in your heart you are not telling the truth. You know that the most influ ential Christian men and women in your life have not been the speakers nor the wealthy men. They were not men and women of great social promi nence, but they were men and women who went to church because they could not stay away. There their gos- pel faith beamed from their eyes and smiled from their lips and greeted you in a warm handshake. Though they did not know it at the time, they were leading you to Christ in spite of your selves. Now. as these humble Chris tians of Hit* past generation led you to Jesus by their public professions, can not you today lead others to Christ In the same way? But we must not stop here. It is im portant for us to make a public pro fession of our faith in Jesus Christ. It is also important for us to lead our fellow men to Jesus by our business dealings as well as by our public prayers. A man cannot be a Christian on Sunday and a sharp, scheming, avaricious, unprincipled business man during the week. He cannot be a true elder of the church and pass the sacred bread at the holy communion and then as a usurer or a produce ex change manipulator cheat the farmer out of his yearly harvestings on week days. He cannot be a servant of God in the church and yet deny him in the store. And It is in the store that our religion is put to its severest test. If we are willing to give to God a con secrated pocketbook, there will be no difficulty about God giving to us many souls for our hire. Christ In Business. Do you see that young man standing over there? Who is he? “Why,” you answer, -“he is one of my new clerks. I have Just hired him. I do not know' who he is, except that he has lately been put upon our payroll.” Is that ail you know about that young man? Well, I will tell you who that young man is. He is one ofj^our spiritual children. As the sculptor can take a lot of soft clay In his hand and mold It and twist it into the figure of the plas ter cast, so you today are molding the spiritual life of that young man. He is as putty in the bauds of the glazier. He comes to you fresh from his moth er’s arms. He knows nothing about the great wide world. You are to be his next teacher. It makes a great deal of difference to him whether you go to church. It also makes a great deal of difference whether you have decreed that honesty and truth shall remain supreme in yonr business es tablishment. If you allow your clerk to sell goods under false pretenses you are going to corrupt him. If you compel your employee to be true and honest in dealing with your customers you will make him true and honest and pure. You did not think you were a city set upon a bill. You did not know your gospel light was shining before men in the store. But today, aa a busi ness man, you are a spiritual archer, and you cannot help yourself. You are fighting for or else you are fighting •gainst Christ in the store, and your arrows are flying every whither. But if it is important that we should use our influence for Christ in onr financial dealings is it not also im portant that we should use that Influ ence for Christ in our social inter course? Indeed, I often think It more Important how we deal with onr fellow men for Christ in our social in tercourse than in business, for then w« are able to study men’s peculiarities and find out “the joints of their har ness.” And every man* has bis vul nerable spot in which be can be reach ed for Christ. When we meet men In social intercourse we find them off their guard. Then it ia so easy to bring them to Jesus If ire can only touch the right spot. I never had this fact so powerfully presented to me as by an old friend, who was telling me an Incident connected with the laying of the Atlantic cable. Some years ago Charlos Kingsley was on a lecturing trip through the United States. He was iu company with Cyrus W. Field, his friend of many years. These two famous men, with a friend of my informant, were traveling together In the same coach. To lighten the tedium of the journey Mr. Field began to tell some of the in cidents of the laying of the cable. He had completely failed to raise enough money for the undertaking in America. Then he went to England for help, but skepticism confronted him every where. The people said an electric current could not be sent a distance of 3,000 miles under the sea. It was an impossibility. At last, completely dis couraged, he was about to come home when he went to bid farewell to Charles Kingsley. “No.” said Mr. Kingsley, “don’t give up yet. I want you to go and call on Lord So-and-so. I believe he will help you out.” “No,” said Mr. Field; “there is no need of go ing. Lord So-and-so cares nothing for a scientific proposition. It would only be wasted time.” But at last, under the persuasion of Kingsley, he decided to go. He found the noble lord in his park surrounded by his dogs. He was so interested in his pack that he gave little attention to Mr. Field’s project He would point out the excellence of this or that animal all the time Mr. Field was explaining his plans. Mr. Field was disappointed, for the noble man had the money, and if be could get him interested it might be the suc cess of the enterprise. He saw that he must reach him through his dogs, so he said: “I am surprised that your lordship should say 1 cannot send an electric current 3,000 miles. Look at that dog,” pointing to a fine grey hound. “How long does it take the nerves of that dog to notify his brain that his tall is being hurt?* Now, I want to stretch such a nerve across the Atlantic, so that when I pinch the dog’s tail in New York he will bark In London.” “Ah, ah!” laughed the lord. “Very good! Lei us hear how you can do it.” When Cyrus Field left the house he had the lord’s order on his bankers for $250,000 in his pocket. The rest of the money raising was easy. So every man has his vulner able spot for Christ as that member of the British nobility had his vulner able spot for the purposes of an At lantic cable. Dare we, can we, afford to fritter away our social moments, which may l>e used for winning souls for the Master? You have no Idea how far your gospel invitations may sink when you deliver them for Christ In the parlor or in the street car or at the dining room table. Mighty Facts. The story is told that many years ago the Genevan evangelist, Caesar Malan, was at a fashionable dinner in the west end of London. He was seated by a beautiful young girl. Dur ing the banquet he quietly said to her, “Are you a Christian?” She flushed up at once and answered sharply, “That is a subject I do not care to have discussed here this evening.” "Well,” answered the minister, with a gentle, earnest voice, “I will not per sist in speaking of it, but I shall pray that you may give your heart to Christ and become a useful worker for him.” That was all Dr. Malan said. A few days later that lady came to Dr. Ma- lan’s study, begging him to show her the way of life. She then and there gave her heart to Jesns. That young lady’s name was Miss Charlotte Elliott, whose memory will be honored as long as the Christian church shall last, for oat of that simple question of a hum ble evangelist there came forth from her pen that matchless hymn which has won multitudes of sinners to Christ: > Just as I am. without one plea But that thy blood was ahed for me And that thou bidst me come to thee. O Lamb of God, I come, I come! My brother, in the face of these two mighty facts which I have enunciated today I would ask. Can you afford to fritter away your sacred moments when you are In social intercourse with your fellow men? Yon may think the hour unpropitious, but sometimes the time that seems to man most in opportune for the presentation of the gospel is the most opportune time for 1 Jesus. O Christian friend, draw your i bow in the parlor, in the banquet hall,, In the street! Shoot the arrows of gos- pel Invitation everywhere. Yon know not but in the most unexpected of places you may win another Charlotte Elliott for Christ. The Gospel’s Influence. But, lastly, I remark that we should be careful about our gospel Influence over our enemies as well as over onr friends. We should strive to lead those to Christ who are attacking us as well as those who are living with us under the same roof. We should be careful about our Influence over those who hate us as well as over those who love us. As a rule, we deem onr en emies the last people we are likely to have any Influence over when la fact there are no classes of people we can more Influence for God than those who dislike us and are misrepresent- ing us and are trying to destroy ns. Hie story Is told that many years ago Dr. Newman Hall was sharply brought face to face with this troth. Newman Hall, as all know, was one of the greatest preachers London ever produced. He was the author of that celebrated tract called “Come to Jo- ana,” which was printed by the mflr Hon and scattered broadcast over the English speaking world. One day Newman Hall waa moat outragsooaly abased and misrepresented by one of Mb enemies. He was so indignant that ha sat down and wrote the most as- seriating of letters. He called Me en emy almost everything In the criminal calendar. Bat before be sent this bit ter letter he read It to one of Ms friends. "What do yon think of that Dr. HalL "Final Ms Mend. "A aaa aonld not write a more crushing and overpowering letter than that But what are you going to call the letter? Yon must give it a caption.” “What do yon mean?” asked Dr. Hall. “What would you suggest?” “Oh,” answered his friend, “I would suggest you en title that hitter letter. ‘Go to the Dev il/ by the author of ’Come to Jesus.’ ” Dr. Hall looked up in amazement He hesitated a moment; then he said: “My friend, you are right. You have taught me a lesson.” Speak For Christ. Instead of sending that bitter letter, Newman Hall sat down and wrote a loving note to the enemy who had done him such wrong. Brother, can you not do the same to your enemies? You say, “It would do no good.” How do you know’? You say that what your enemy needs is a club. No; I think not. I believe that what your enemy needs is a message of Christian love from you. It may be only a random shot, but by the power of the Lord God Almighty that gospel arrow may strike his heart and bring him, a lov ing penitent, to Jesns. Anyway, It la worth trying. You have shot arrows dipped in poison long enough. Now try to crush your enemies by winning them with gospel love. Yon can do it By the power of the Holy Spirit I feel, I know, you can do it. I am overwhelmed as I think of the opportunities we all have for serving the Master. You may not think your words and deeds amount to much. Bat let us consecrate every- one of them to the utmost of our power, and then he must look after the issue. With the weakest of agents God can achieve the most infinite results. Are you ready today to be one of God’s spiritual agents? Are you ready to do all you can In every way you can, even though all your efforts may seem to be very little? There was a half demented boy who used to be a member of one of my east ern churches. The different members were telling what they would do for Christ during the coming year. When this demented boy’s time came he arose and said: “I cannot do much. I know I am half crazy. But I can al ways be In my place in church, and when the time comes I can hold up my hand for Jesus.” Oh, in the dark hoars of life, when I have felt my own work to amount to but little, I hear ringing in my ears the words, “Can you not hold up your hand for Jesus?” God will look after the results. Can you not under all conditions lift your hand for Christ? Tell me, friend, though your arm may seem to bs weak, can you not under all conditions lift your hand for ChYlst? You most leave the results with him. Your duty Is to raise your baud as high as yoa can for Christ. Will you lift your hand high for him now? [Copyright, 1S07, by Louis Kloptch.] Our First Treasurer. A great many people have wondered why the picture of Michael Hlllegns, first treasurer of the United States, ap pears on the new' yellow ten dollar bills after the many decades during which no recognition of the services of that faithful olficial was forthcoming. It seems that the belated testimonial to the man whose services to his country were admittedly worthy is due to a de scendant, the Kev. Michael Minlch, a Lutheran minister, and to former Sec retary of the Treasury Shaw and the late John Hay. Mr. Hay and Mr. Shaw both interested themselves In the mutter of claims that either Robert Morris or Samuel Meredith and not Hillegas was the first treasurer and from the government archives obtained proof of the correctness of the conten tion of the Rev. Mr. Minich and others who defended the cause of Hillegas. Mr. Hillegas was a sugar refiner. Iron manufacturer and merchant in Phila delphia before the Revolutionary war. He placed his funds and his credit at the disposal of George Washington when that patriot needed assistance, snd it was but natural that he should have been given the post of treasurer when the Infant republic came into be ing.
