T. WILSON Secretary Interior Furnishing. Committee When the new building had reached the stage where the chapel, assembly rooms, class rooms, secretaries' offices, kitchen and kitchenettes could be recognized, the committee on arrangements and furnishings called to buy and arrange the necessary equipment. To make the building pleasant, harmonious and at the same time practical for the children and young people and to give it a worshipful atmosphere, was our task. Spiritual Keynote The chapel strikes the spiritual keynote of the building.

Shedding soft, subdued shadows, the art glass windows carry their message from the of in the rear window, through the symbols leading up to the central window of the Christ. They were made by the Judson studios of Los Angeles. Walter Judson and J. L. Judson are recognized as leaders of art glass men, coming from a family of artists.

Their late father was dean of the school of arts at the University of Southern California. The dark beamed ceiling, decorated in soft colored stencils, symbolic and full of interest, with the rich brown pews and grey velvet carpet, all add their bit to make this a quiet, peaceful place for reverent thinking. One is inclined to stop and rest awhile In this sacred chapel. The stencils and designing is the work of Lucile Lloyd, of Glendale, eminent mural decorator. Drapes of figured linen arranged in the study, which is furnished with walnut desk and chairs.

The gray carpet is also used in the offices and the drapes here are gray. In Grey Velvet The seven assembly rooms are carpeted in gray velvet. The social hall has stenciled celling and beams. The senior hall has decorations depicting the Four Evangelists and symbolic scroll designed by Lucile Lloyd. Pianos are provided for each group and reed furniture and chairs are used for the assembly rooms.

Drapes in these rooms are gray and hung on wrought iron rods for the older groups and for the little children the drapes are on wooden poles and brightened by soft pastel braid. Hall floors are covered with linoleum in three shades of gray with splash of rose color. Firm. Assisted Local managers of the Southern California Edison Company, through P. H.

Booth of the Edison Electric Appliance Company, appreciating the work this educational plant would do for the boys and girls of the community, displayed their interest by presenting two Hot Point electric ranges as a gift. These furnish all the cooking equipment for the kitchen. This church is the only one so equipped in Southern California. It has two steam tables, electric coffee urns and cooking utensils, in fact, all articles needed to serve ro large a membership were placed in the kitchen. The light, spacious dining room is arranged to accommodate 600 persons.

Three Kitchenette. On each of the three floors are kitchenettes equipped to serve light refreshments. New chairs were purchased for the assembly rooms. The ueed chairs were repaired and painted for use in the class rooms. Supervision of the tints for walls and woodwork took thought and time.

As written the unsigned poem reads: "We bring this lovely temple Lord, and dedicate to thee, This stately pile of masonry, a spiritual home to be, Where Bill and Bob and Besa and Sue, and many more as well May learn the way of life aright and of its riches tell.

Where sainted souls may teach Thy word to Thy dear little ones And by Thy grace may show their love akin to Thy dear In building up in Christian life the youth of this great day And help to make It easier the Master to obey. Where all may truly learn of Thee and walk the narrow way That leads to everlasting life in eternal day. Accept this mite; it may be more than others give From out their rich abundant store where favored ones may live." Choice Plate Lunch, 50; Dinner 60. Peerless Cafeteria. 308 W.

CHURCH UHIT Bishop William Burt, who was born in England, delivered the evening sermon yesterday at the dedicatory serv.ee of the First Methodist church. Ike Bishop was knighted by Victor Emanuel for 20 years of service in rekgious and philanthropic activities at Rome.

His address in part ollows. The present is an age of material civilization the most wonderful In the history of the world, and the temptations which it offers to spend life in self-indulgence and the pursuit of pleasure are manifold. of sense and of a sense governed are brought within the reach of all classes to an extent unknown in any previous age. The marvelous discoveries in electricity and the surprising application to human needs, the swiftness with which thought flies around the world, the new methods of locomotion, the multiplication of labor saving machines, and the cheapening of art products and of so- called luxuries, all conspire to tempt the senses and to call off attention from things unseen and common consent thought has been centered mainly upon physical comfort, material advantages, industrial progress and social being. have every reason to expect that the multiplication of these material resources and of these pleasures will advance with increasing ratio, for one invention leads to another and the latest miracle of science and of human ingenuity is soon surpassed by something still more wonderful.

The twentieth century will change the face of the world and the conditions of human life even more surprisingly than the nineteenth did, and that is eaylng a good deal Was it In view of such an age as this that the master asked: the son of man cometh shall he find faith on grace of God hath appeared bringing salvation. Over the precepts of an austere Christian mortality given in the first chapter, the apostle Paul throws a sudden illumination drawn from the motives which the advent of the Gospel inspires in Christian souls. The grace of God has become manifest, bringing salvation to all, young and old, men and women, rich and poor, master and servants, student and professors, teaching all how to live. note that nothing is said here about dogmas, creeds, or ceremonies of the church. It was not to teach these that the grace of God appeared, but to teach folk how to live in the present world.

'by denying ungodliness and worldly They that are have just put off, concerning the former conversation, the old man which is corrupt, and have crucified the flesh with affections and lusts. The old sinful life has come to an end, and henceforth we are to live in present world soberly, righteously and has reference to the duties we owe ourselves; righteously or justly refers to our relations with others; and has to do with our obligations toward God. What does Jesus teach concerning these three words which sum up our duties as Christians toward ourselves, our fellowmen and to God in this present world? Soberly, temperance or self control. Live soberly with respect to ourselves in the government of our and appetites. Some wishing to do this have thought that they must retire from active life and hide themselves in monestarles, convent or a desert because there are troubles in life.

There are dangers in travel, must we therefore never venture from home? There are perils in learning, must we therefore remain in ignorance. certainly Is not in harmony with the Christ thought. In the gospel there is no premium in asceticism, no scorn for the beautiful, no approval of that morbid blindness to innocent pleasures which has sometimes been mistaken for piety. Asceticism Is not a solution, but an invasion of the body. It does not fight the battle but flees from the field.

Jesus did not pray that those disciples might be taken out of the world but that they might be kept from the evil that Is in the world. Then no one escapes by hiding, because the trouble and the storms are in him and he carries them wherever he goes. The problem must be solved not by a change of place but by a change of heart. did not even suggest that there was a deliverance for the body by retreat from the world. On the contrary He came out of peace into trouble, out of the company of saints into a world of sin, into a life of suffering.

Jesus can come Into life as It was and into the whole of life. He met human live. Just where they were, among their natural incidents of pleasure and pain, temptation and Joy. He came down among publicans and sinners and came eating and drinking. "To live soberly is something mors than mere abstinence from intoxicants.

It means bringing ths whole body into subjection to higher powers and for nobler uses. No one lives soberly in the new Testament sense who simply turns the key in some one door of his bad self. Within the serpents of lust and passion turn, wriggle and rage with mad violence and sometimes lift np their heads after having been wounded many times. Shall we simply keep them suppressed within us? does Christ say? If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, it thy right eye lead thee astray, pluck it If we have an tite temper, or something worse we must master it or it will master us. We should take no moral risks.

At any or every cost we must cut off or pluck out that by which we are liable to fall. We must put under foot that which would destroy us. control over ourselves must not be purely negative. Experience shows how beautiful and beneficent when controlled and constrained to their own time, place and function are those lmnts which whn uncontrolld tend most inevitably to corruption and destruction. may be devouring the demon, or a force which carried us and our burdens at the rate of sixty miles an hour.

may uproot sweep away houses and destroy crops or it may drive the wheels of commerce and make fruitful the thirsty land. may be death dealing lightning, or mercury to carry around the globe. the very qualities, which when unregulated, waste and brutalize the life, may when subject to the control of higher self, through the spirit of God become elements of power. Even our bodies must become instruments of righteousness. A cry of fire is hear and the firemen rush to extinguish it.
