Dr. Doods took his text from the eighth chapter of Job, third verse;- "Doth; God pervert Judg ment? Or doth the Almighty pervert Justice?" : .:.-'. -;':''; , , .-. , The Sermon was a,"trong protest aiid comment, on the acquitting of Merle Fuller; the telegraph operator who shot and killed Conductor Stewart in the de pot here the night of June 10, over the alteration of a clearance card, A Fuller was acquitted October. .--... , Dr. Doods said In part: ' "We who pay the taxes of this county naturally wpect from thOba whom we place in office and a Jury whom we Impanel to , perform, their duties ' as sworn to do, taking-to mind the wel fare of society, of our, young boys and girls. But such an example as we have seen of a young man like Fuller, shoot ing down a fellow workman and after the deed showing no emotion of being sorry "for the deed, and some cltisens and even some presses' writing to up hold and harbor such men and deeds. It brlnps us face to face with the taxt: 'Do4h God , pervert Judgment, i Or doth the Almighty pervert Justice? When 8 young man will return to. the town and as he did the very spot where he took o human life, and dance a Jig for the boys, n'.ake remarks that he had a fine time while in Jail, it is high time that you fathers and mothers were-thinking of your boys and girls. -Such a man at large 1&' a dang-erous character. "Perhaps he may shoot me or try to for Bpeaklng these facts, but God hae given me the message to deliver, and 1 am going to deliver it, come what will Some Juries, some . citizen and some presses may acquit a cold-blooded mur derer. But nevertheless. In God's eyes he Is still the: same murderer, with no repentance in his heart. May God help us all to watch more closely our young boys and girls and keep them far from patterning after such an example." Dr. Doods has many Mends who are with him In the bold sermon and no trouble is expected. LOS ANGELES MAN LOST ON CALIFORNIA DESERT (United Pru Leased Wlr. " San Bernardino, Cat, Oct' 18.
