In absence of suitable trees, then we
can erect some such framework as

of which are firmly set in the ground,
explains Farm and Home. These
posts should be four by four inches,
with cross pleces and braces three

or even twelve, above ground. The
width and length can, of course, be
what anyone may choose. In any

well proportioned to the height to

Marvelous Electric Railroad.
Genoa and Milan are to be con

road, eighty-five miles in length,
which is to cost $47,000,000. The
excessive cost of it is owing to the
nature of the country through which
the line will pass. It will require
nineteen tunnels, one of which will
be twelve miles long. There will be
372 bridges and the road will be six
yvears in the course of construction.
The cost of the line construction
alone will be $500,000 per mile. The
line will be double tracked and there
will be no grade crossings. Trains
will consist of three cars, each ac
commodating fifty persons. It is pro
posed to run twenty trains a day, and
it is estimated that the daily traffic
will be GOOO passengers, A very
complete schedule has been arranged
to take care of the express and local
traflic as well as the freight of that
section of the country. The power
will be derived from a 24,000 horse

A BRILLIANT - SUNDAY SERMON- BY
DR. CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE. .
Theme: Faith's Victories.
o } LS I
i
Brooklyn, N, Y.—The Rev. Dr.
Charles Edward Locke Sunday closed
his pastorate at the Hanson Place
Methodist Episcopal Church. He
leaves to assume charge of the great
First Methodist Episcopal Church of
l.os Angeles, Cal. Large audiences
filled the church at both services: In
the morning Dr. Locke’s subject was
“Faith’s Victories.” The text was 1
John 5:4: “This is the victory that
overcometh the wofld, even _our
faith.” Dr. Locke gaid:
Early in the morning after refresh
ing sleep amid the fragrant bowers
of Bethany, on the second day of our
Lord’s gad and triumphant Passion
Week, Jesus with His disciples was
on His way around the graceful slopes
of Olivet to the great city. All being
hungry, and seeing a fig tree, they ap
proached it, confidently expecting to
enjoy the luscious fruit, forthe season
of the ripening fruit had come, but
the time for the gathering of the har
vest was not yet. 'When they reached
the tree they found mnething but
leaves. Christ thefeupon pronounced
a curse upon the unfruitful and use
less tree, and immediately it withered
away. When the wondering disciples
saw the fig tree withered away they
marveled, but Jesus said: “If ye
have faith and doubt not, ye shall not
only do this which is done to the fig
tree, but, also, if ye shall say unto
this mountain, be thou removed and
be thou cast into the sea, it ghall be
done; and all things whatsoever ye
shall ask in prayer believing ve shall
receive.”
John was the best loved of all the
disciples of Jesus. Our introduction
to him is when he is a young man,
when he and Andrew at the sugges
tion of John the Baptist, “Behold the
Lamb of God!” follow Jesus and in
quire, “Where dwellest Thou?” and
He replies, “Come and see.” Sixty
years have passed; he is now an old
man standing on the mountain top of
expectancy with the light of immor
tality aglow upon his face. Looking
forward into the future he cries, “It
doth not yet appear what we shall
be!” and looking backward upon the
way he has traveled, and upon the
great world struggling for mastery,
he shouts triumphantly, ‘“This is the
victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.”
“Falth is the substance (assurance)
of things hoped for, the evidence
(proving)of things not seen.” It has
been truthfully said that faith is a
higher faculty than reason. Reason
builds laboriously and often fruitless
ly its towers of Babel, but faith quick
ly soars into the very bosom of the
Infinite. Faith is a grateful arch
which spans the chasmn between man
the finite and God the Infinite. Faith
is a gift. “By grace ye are saved
through faith-—it is the gift of God.”
Faith is the subtle force by which
man adjusts himself to God.
Faith is pardon, peace—regenera
tion. “Being justified by faith, we
have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ.” We are saved
frgf; sin, not by evolutlo? or by revo
lution, or by works alome, but by
faith-—“believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved!”
Faith is life—“The just shall live
by faith” was Luther's discovery on
the staiygase in the lateran. “The
life whl& I now live in the flesh I
live by the faith of the Son of God.”
Christ is life—He came to interpret
and enlarge life for each of us.
Faith, also, is character. - Faith in
Christ is the foundation of character,
the inspiration of achievement. Char
acter is what a man is doing all the
time. When the disciples asked Jesus
what they should do to work the
works of God, He replied, “Believe on
Him whom He hath sent.” What we
believe will determine what we do.
Great men are great ideas incarnated.
It was said of Abraham, “He believed
God, and it was accounted unto him
for righteousness.”
“Faith is the substance of things
hoped for.” Faith realizes while oth
er men dream and doubt and debate.
Columbus first had a vision of a new
world, and then found it. Morse was
a man of faith and prayer, until in
1844 the first telegraph wire between
Washington and Balttmore carried
the message, “What God hath
wrought?” So of Eads with his jet
ties, Stephenson with his steam en
gine, and Field with his cable. What
these heroic men worked out was
“substance” to them before their dis
coveries and inventions were actyal
ities. The same is true of the work
and faith of our Pilgrim Fathers and
Mothers, the founders of the Wes
leyan movement, Francis Xavier,
William Taylor, William Butler and
Judson. Pioneers of faith have dis
mally discovered that it is more diffi
cult to overcome the unbelief of men
than to master the principles upon
which their deductions and inventions
depended. ~
After all, the stronger argument
for our Christian faith is not what we
say, but what we do.* It has been
thoughtfully remarked that although
the unbeliever may not read the Bi
ble, he does read the life of Chris
tians to see how they live; A truth
incarnated in & consistent Christian
life is the church’s invincible argu
ment for Christianity. bt
Faith is salvation—salvation from
sin and self and sorrow and sickness
and adversity. There is no ill of the
soul for which faith is nat a specific,
and many ills of the body flee away
like the poisonous fogs before the
sunlight .
Dear Chaplain McCabe had a broth
er who, after forty years of thralldom
to strong dring, was finally, through
the faith and love and perseverance
of his hopeful brother.regeq,mod irom
the sad slavery. The chaplain used
to say: “When I get to heaven I am
going to take my brother by the hand
and lead him up to my mother and
say: ‘Mother, here's George; I have
brought him home!’” and nothing
will save a vast multitude of men un
less their fellows, in love and faith,
help them to fight their battles
through to a victory. 3
Abraham Lincoln was a man of
boundless faith in God. .He once said:
“It is not particular whether God is
on our side, but it is all important
whether we are on God's side.” On
one occasion when his pastor desired
R —
to ke a call, the President fizxed the
ho;g at 5 o'clock}n the mk)rp?gg. He
found Mr. Lincoln reading the Bible,
andghe learned that it was the great
eggncipator’s custom to._ spend the
early morning hout each day in Bible
reading and prayer.’ /.. -
My dear friends, if ‘any substantial
v%es have been"v@;fiffiis dear
chdrch during my pag te, which
ends with this sacred Sabbath, they
have been faith victories. Nothing
we have endeavored to do together
during these five happy years has
been worth while unlegs it was what
Ged wanted done. lam thankful fer
the kindly providence which brought
me to this noble church with its mul
titude of devoted and loyal people. I
am deeply grateful to you all for your
love and patience, for your fidelity
and your prayers. I wish I could
have served you better. In the ardu
ous, though happy, lahors of this
great parish 1 havefeen assured of
your earnest and sympathetic sup
port. Without your constant co-oper
ation I should have utterly failed. I
thank you tenderly for your generous
sympathy, for during these five years
my greatest sorrows have come to me.
There was a happy tri-unionate of us;
my sainted father, my only brother,
and myself. My father was a com
rade and congenial companion to his
boys. All uneipectedly, in the morn
tng of his brilliant ecareer, my brother
was stricken, and in a few hours the
eminent young lawyer stood before
the Great Judge.
It was a deadening blow. My
father, advancing in years, bent un
der the chastening. Though it whit
ened his locks, it divinely brightened
his faith. It was your distinguished
honor to know my father and hear
him preach. His last sermon was
preached in this pulpit, his last public
prayer was offered at these holy al
tars. He used to sit beside me here,
and love me into better servige. Oc
casionally, when I urged him to do so,
he would visit the other churches and
listen to my brilliant confreres, who
are widely known for their eminence
and eloquence; and, then, with a par
ent’s fond indulgence and extrava
gance, he would say, “My son, none
of these men preaches better than
you.” I smiled at the fiction, but
nevertheless my father’s opinion was
more to me than any other’s, and his
loving presence furnished tonic and
inspiration to my work; and when, in
that parsonage in the very shadow of
the sanctuary, his soul ascended to
meet his Lord, the noblest and most
exquisite Christian gentleman whom
God ever made, ended his earthly pil
grimage. In my great sorrow you
sustained me with your tender pray
ers and sympathy. But the old world
has been pretty lonesome to me since
the going away of these two dear
men,
I leave you reluctantly, but I turn
my face again to the sunset shore
with happy expectations. Many
friends await our coming. Nine
years ago this very week I laid the
cQrnerstone of that beautiful church;
and a piece of my heart went into the
copper box. I want your prayers that
my ministry theremay be faithful and
fruitful.
A sincere and hearty welcome to
my successor, Dr. Henderson and his
family, will be a token of true love
and loyalty to me. He is most wor
thy of your highest confidence and es
teem. He has won many trophies, is
a man who has been tried and not
found wanting. He is a stalwart;
rugged in body, vigorous in mind
and large of heart. He is capable,
resourceful, victorious. God bless
him and you,.and make his coming
the most notable pastorate in the
eventful history of this church.
And, now, once more, I thank you
one and all—the trustees, the stew
ards, the class leaders, the Sunday
school, the presiding elders, the dea
conesses, the sexton, the Epworth
League, the Men’s 2-3-2 Club, the
missionary societies, the organists
and choirs, the ushers, the children
who have loved me, the young people
who have listened to me, the older
people who have prayed for me; all
who have in any way helped in these
five memorable years of my life, I
thank you with all my heart and pray
for you. To the members of other
churches, and those who have attend
ed upon my ministry who were not
members of this church, I would say,
you have gladdened and encouraged
my heart by your presence and kindly
words; and I thank you, one and all,
again and again. Remember when
you come to California Ishall be there
to warmly welcome you to my church
and to my home,
The Real Cause of Weakness.
The decline in numbers among the
free churches of Great Britain is a
subject for lament. The English pa
pers are filled with anxious discus
sions of the fact. It appears that the
passion for souls is lacking and evan
gelism is discredited. The churches
are doing little more than the ethical
societies are doing. Seventy-five per
cent. of the population are reported
as being either indifferent or hostile
to the churches.
The churches are Sunday clubs,
reform societies or benevolent agen
cies. They are not homes for the
soul. Prayer,is not vital but for
mal. - Conviction is not present.
They have the ethic of religion
without the evangel. This condition
is a warning to all the world. The
primary note in all our preaching
and work should be evangelistic.
Stagnation and death stare us in the
face when we cease to seek the lost.

“Let the Almighty Steer."
God hath a thousand keys to open
a thousand doors for the deliverance
of His own when it has come to the
greatest extremity. Let us be faith
ful and care for our own part, which
is to do and suffer for Him, and lay
God’s part on Himself, and leave it
there; duties are ours, events are the
Lord’s.
When our faith goes to meddle
with events, and to hold a court (if I
may so speak) upon God's providence,
and beginneth to say, “How wilt Thou
do this or that?” we lose ground, we
have nothing to do there; It is our
part to let the Almighty exercise His
own office and steer His own helm,—
Samuel Rutherford.

Great Toils, Great Rewards. .
Nature is just toward men. It ree

the greatest toils it attaches the
greatest rewards.—Montesquieu,
‘A" Revolutionary Machine,
A ‘revoiutipn .in' the sending and
receiving of tg}eg;aph messages is
gradually taking place throughout the
United States, owing to the telegraph
printing machines which are being
installed in the metropolitan offices ofv
the telegraph companies. o
In sending, the messages are
“punched” or spelled out in the Morse
characters on an endless tape. The
tape is then fed into a sending ma
chine, where 3 wheel moves it along
and in the right direction. The holes
in the tape allow contacts to be made
which control the receiving mechan
ism. The receiving machine is some
what like an electrically controlled
typewriter. Electrical contracts made
through the holes in the tape cause
the proper type bars to be struck, So
fast is this automatic working that
the girl operators can receive and
send from 200 to 400 messages in
nine hours with one machine. The
machines work duplex, two messages
being sent at the same time.—Popu

The Joys of Youth.
A boy in the State School for De
pendent Children wrote his father
thus: “Dear Papa.—We children are
having a gcod time here now. Mr.
Sager broke his leg and can't work.
We went on a picnie, and it rained,
and we all got wet. Many children
here are sick with mumps. Mr. Hig
gins fell off the wagon and broke his
rib, but he can work a little. The
man that is digging the deep well
whipped us boys with a buggy whip
because we threw sand in his ma
chine, and made black and blue
marks on us. Ernest cut his finger
badly. We are all very happy.”—Ar

Summer used to be delightful—
Now it's simply hot and frighttul;
Wine, that once brought joy and
laughter, ]
Gives naught but—the morning after,
Poetizing once was fun—
Now, I'm thankful when I'm done.
Nothing’s like ‘it used to be—
Whom to blame—the world or me?
—Cleveland Leader.

His Lucky Bargain in the Alaska
Purchase.
An obscure paragraph in a recent
government report throws an inter
esting light en Uncle SBam’s peculiar
aptness as a real estate agent invest
ing his own funds. The old gentle
man has made some of the biggest
real estate deals in history, and
though none of these quite equals
the entirely abnormal, if not apoch
ryphal, purchase of Manhattan Is
land for $24, yet he has driven some
very thrifty bargains.
The paragraph referred -to says
that $7,000,000 worth of precious
metals is taken every year out of Se
ward Peninsula, Alaska. Seward
Peninsula is only one of the many
profitable mining districts of the
northern territory, and: the special
significance of the figures lies in the
fact that they represent the entire
original eost of the Alaskan Territory,
That s to say, one district alone re
turns every year the cost price of
the whole fabulously rich country,
whose _regources have hardly been
scratched as yet. Incidentally, it is
& pretty coincidence that Seward Pen
insula should make this showing,
since Secretary Seward, who negotiat
ed the purchase of Alaska from Rus
sia forty years ago, was both ecriti
cised and ridiculed for paying the
“enormous sum” of $7,200,000 for all
of Alaska.—Kansas City Journal.
WANTED TO KNOW
The Truth About Grape-Nuts Food.
It doesn’t matter so much what
you hear about a thing, it’s what you
know that counts. And correct
knowledge is most likely to come
from personal experience.
“About a year age,” writes a N. Y.
man, “I was bothered by indigestion,
especially during the forenoon. I
tried several remedies without any
permanent improvement,
“My breakfast usually consisted of
oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee
and some fruit.
“Hearing so much about Grape-
Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial
and find out if all I had heard of it
was true.
“So I began with Grape-Nuts and
cream, two soft boiled eggs, toast, a
cup of Postum and some fruit. Be
fore 'the end of the first week I was
rid of the acidity of the stomach and
felt much relieved,
“By the end of the second week all
traces of indigestion had disappeared
and T was in first rate health once
more. Before beginming this course
of diet I never had any appetite for
lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty
meal at noon time.” ‘‘There’s a Rea
son.”
