Parsons, of Portland, who is holding evangel istic services nt the Presbyterian Dr. William Parsons, now holding meetings in the l'rcMiytoritm elnnvii. is the man that you want to hoar. He was born on u farm iiml knows what thai kind life i. lie crew up in KmiMis thai state that lut Mnijj gled ns few state.-, have for lilioity and high moral principles. He )m labored among the miners of IVnti svlvania, that state which is sur passed by none in the greatness of its mining interests, lie is identified with the great world movements of today. To hear Dr. Parsons is to henr a man that can speak out of a large experience. Last night he spoke of Hie love of God. A large audience heard him. Interest was great, and the feeling was that to give expres sion of this love in the life daily vii.- tho greatest thing that man ever at tempted. Dr. Parsons is here for two weeks only, and if you hear him you cannot put it off, for if you hear him once you must hear him npim. mid there may not be time.

The grandstand and paddocks of the famous Sunta Anita race track on the "Lucky" Baldwin ranch arc a. mass of smoldering ruins todny, nixed by n ilro believed to have been started by shelter seeking trumps. The loss is $73,000. The buildings were constructed on Baldwin's land in 1907, the funds be ing furnished by Barney Schreibcr and George Rose of racing fame. These men sold their holding to John Brink, II. A. Unroll and James Hol land three weeks uiro. nnd of his message? Hear him be fore yon attempt an answer. This i: what he said in part last night: "God lias made laws in the spir itunl life mid he thinks enough of his Inws to enforce them. On a man-of-war there nrc laws, and when the ship is cleared for action every mnn is expected to obey the com mands nnd the laws of the vessel, nnd if anyone obeys not, the com manding officer will enforce the InwK and commands with severity if need be. God thinks ns much of his laws as any commanding officer. "Many things in the personality of Jesus attract us. His simplicity, wholcsomcness, purity and manliness all appeal to us'. When we look through the word we find his love emphasized above nil. It is difficult to find an exact analogy to the love o Jesus.

Emily have been suggested. To my mind Maud Billiugtou Booth is1 one of the hot illustrations of it. "That wo ought to love him goes without argument. Paul wrete: 'if any man love not tho Iird Jesus let him be necurscd.' It is the evidence of u bad heart. Not only should we love him, but our love should be em bodied in the right vvnv a disem bodied love is incapable of existence in this world. Here this text gives us a hint. Walk in love as Christ also hnth loved us. IBs expression of love should bo the measure rod pattern for ours. "His love took the form of trusting us. He trusted to us, his name, fame and work. We otisjht to trust him without doubt, jir,jnrry to do all that ho has promised to do for us. Hit. love took tho form of seeking vury clo.-e and intimate relations with his people.
