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.

LHE PUEFET. 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. —Baptist Standard. e ————————— " a———————————— “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.

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.

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.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
