Religion's Cost
Not Too High Is
Evangel's Word
Rev. C. W. Cutler gave a very force
ful sermon Thursday evening at the
First Baptist church to the people
who say "There la Jpo much to give
up."
Scripture upon which his sermon
was built was "What shall It profit
a man if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?"
Young people," said Cutler, "are
willing to say that Jesus Is the Son
of Qod and that He calls us to serv
ice for Him but they say, 'There
Is too much to give up.' We are
right in counting the cewt of religion
because It is expensive but it cost
God and His Son Infinitely more than
It will cost us.
We have failed to think that
Christianity calls for the very best
In us. People come into the church
and then find that their member
ship Is going to cost them some
thing that It Isn't free then they
say, 'Oh, there is too much to give
up.' But even though It may cost
us greatly It pays a great deal more
than It costs.
"You will never give Ood an hour
of your time nor a dime of your
money but he returns more than
you gave. He has promised to return
to us a hundred fold."
Again, Mr. Cutler, stressed that fact
that the things we are asked to give
up are nothing compared to what
we have to gain. The real joy and
real thrill In life is that of serving
Jesus.
Being young people's night the
young people were featured in the
program. The chorus choir sang.
"Master, the Tempest Is Raging," and
the young ladles'1 quartet sang,, "List
to the Voice."
The subject for tonight is "What
We Know About the Second Coming
of Christ," without speculation or ex
citement.
Come and enjoy our welcome.

FOR ROSE BOWL
STILL UNKNOWN
PASADENA, Cal., Nov. 34. (AP)
The western representative for the
annual rose tournament football game
here January 1, 1934. positively has
not been selected and probably will
not be named for some weeks to
come. Hal Reynolds of the Rose Bowl
committee said today.
I'm ready to make my annual de
nial," said Reynolds, "that any team
has been selected. No selection will
be made before Saturday and prob
ably not for several weeks to come.
As in other years, the western rep
resentative will be selected from the
Pacific coast conference members at
meeting to be called by the Rose
tournament committee. The vote of
the southern California newspaper
men will decide the selection where
the conference title Is clouded, such
as Is apt to be the case this year.
On the basis of this, Stanford. Cali
fornia and Southern California are
the most outstanding contenders.
Should Stanford bent California to
morrow, the Indians probably will get
the call. Should the Golden Bears
win. any one of five members of the
group have an outside chance or bet
ter, with the three leading California
Institutions still holding the edge.
While the general opinion prevails
that it would be best for the Rose
Bowl game If the Trojans did not get
the bid the third straight yenr. de
feat of Stanford, along with victories
over Notre Dame, Georgia and Wash
ington probably would force the Tro
jans into the picture.
The general opinion here was that
Oregon's 26 to 0 defeat made the
chances of the Webfoots very remote
and a defeat by St. Mary's probably
would eliminate them entirely.

Total precipitation since September

An eerie, spooky motion picture
which for sheer mystery outdoes ell
its predecessors Is "White Zombie,"
which opened at the Studio theater
this afternoon.
This picture may safely be said to
be In a class by Itself. For It deals
with a subject which heretofore has
been little short of superstition, and
a not very well known one at that.
Its story deals with occult practices
in remote sections of Haiti where
Zombies, or dead bodies, are dug from
their graves and, by a process of sor
cery, re-antmated and put to work in
the fields and mills as slaves.
