# Chapters From the New Apocrypha/God's Presence With His People

Published in the October 5, 1893 edition of The Open Court.
While they tarried by the seaside a certain Pharisee saith unto him, Master, we know that God is gracious and doeth all things well. Because we have heard with our ears and our fathers have told unto us His loving kindness of old; How He led His people out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; How He fed them with manna in the wilderness, and gave them water to drink out of the rock; How He sent His ravens with food unto Elijah, the Tishbite; And commanded in the house of the widow of
Zarephath that the barrel of meal should not waste nor the cruse of oil fail. But as it was in the days of old it is not now; For the flood cometh alike upon the evil and the good; And the pestilence walketh in darkness, upon the righteous man and the sinner; And the lightning smiteth, and the hail stones, and the stormy wind, both him that doeth good and him that doeth evil. Where now is the Lord our God that He hath not caused His face to shine upon us? Hath He forgotten His people? Hath He remembered them no more in mercy? Jesus, answering, saith unto the Pharisee, There was a man espoused a wife, and she conceived, and bare children; And while they were yet little children both the man and his wife served them and ministered unto them; But when they came to man's estate they went into the fields and fed their flocks; And some went into far countries. Tell me, I pray thee, do the shepherds who feed their flocks see the face of their father at noonday? Nay, but rather they wait until the even. And do they who have journeyed behold their mother while they are yet journeying? Nay, rather they wait until the end of the journey. And then shall they behold the face of both father and mother. Verily I say unto you, even as a father sendeth his children who are no longer of tender years into his fields and upon long journeys, So doth now the Lord thy God deal with His people Israel. Who now shall say unto the shepherd, Thy father hath forgotten thee? Or who shall say unto him that journeyeth, Thy mother hath forsaken thee? Behold I say unto thee: Feed thy flocks, and go thy way on thy journey; for there is a time for all things, but love endureth forever.
# Chapters From the New Apocrypha/The Light

Published in the October 5, 1893 edition of The Open Court.
Now it was nightfall as Jesus drew near unto a strange city; And there were with him Peter, and James, and John, and certain others of the disciples. And they were overtaken by darkness at the gate of the city, and there was none to guide them unto the house of that disciple with whom they purposed to abide. Then Peter saith unto Jesus, Master, show us the way. But Jesus, answering, saith unto him, Tarry here a while till we find some man to guide us. Then murmured the disciples among themselves, and Peter saith unto him, Master, thou art the way; canst thou not show us the way? Jesus, answering, saith again unto Peter, Tarry here a while. Now while they tarried by the gate of the city, there drew nigh unto them a man bearing a torch. And Jesus saith unto the disciples, Behold, this man shall guide us. But when he was come unto them the disciples perceived that he was a publican. And when Jesus saith unto them, Follow on, they murmured yet again among themselves; And Peter saith unto Jesus, Master, seest thou what manner of man this is to guide thee? Jesus saith unto him, I see. Peter saith again, Master, is it meet that this man should guide us who is a publican and a sinner? Jesus saith unto Peter, Follow on; for it is not the man we follow, but the light. And while they sat at meat in the house of this disciple, Jesus saith unto them: Not every one that beareth the light is of the light; but he that followeth the light, he it is who is of the light.
# Chapters From the New Apocrypha/The Little Box

Published in the September 28, 1893 edition of The Open Court.
Paul, being at Athens, when he had come down from Mars' Hill, certain of the philosophers who had heard him came unto him, saying, Show us a miracle! Then Paul, minded to show forth the power committed unto him answered and said, What sign will ye that I show? They say unto him, Make the dumb to speak. And Paul answered them straightway, saying, Go to now, fetch hither a man born dumb. And while they yet sought among the throng gathered about him if peradventure any such might be found, Paul lifted up his voice, saying: Which of the twain is the greater miracle, to make a dumb man speak, or this little box? With one accord they answered him: The little box. Then Paul, having taken from beneath his cloak the little box, set it on the ground in the midst of the multitude. And again he lifted up his voice, saying, What will ye that the little box shall speak unto you? They answer him, Let it testify of those things whereof thou hast spoken even this day upon yonder hill. And Paul (having laid in previously with the little box) touched it gently in the right place, and the box spake, saying, Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship him declare I unto you. Then were the multitudes amazed and confounded. Some said, This indeed testifieth of the truth; but others said that the Devil was in the little box. And one of the philosophers questioned Paul concerning what had happened, demanding of him whence came the voice and whose was the voice thereof. And Paul answered and said, Truly, the voice is the voice of God; and hath to-day spoken unto you by the mouth of his holy prophet which hath been since the world began. And when he was questioned further concerning the name of this prophet, he answered them, saying,
There is but one name given unto men worthy of the kingdom of heaven, and that name is Truth. But the name of the little box is Archetypeofthephonograph. Then were the multitude still more amazed. And they said one to another, This is a big name, sure enough. Verily, verily, the name is bigger than the box. But they wist not,—neither they nor the philosophers,—how much bigger was the idea than the name. And as it was with the little box so with little facts, it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

United States Supreme Court
155 U.S. 102
Chappell v. Waterworth
The question presented by the pleadings considered in the opinion below, and argued at the bar cannot be decided upon this record, because the case was removed into the circuit court of the United States without authority of law. The question of removal is governed by the decision of this court at the last term in Tennessee v. Bank of Commerce, 152 U.S. 454, 14 Sup. Ct. 654, by which, upon full consideration, it was adjudged that under the acts of March 3, 1887, c. 373 (24 Stat. 552), and August 13, 1888, c. 866 (25 Stat. 433), a case (not depending on the citizenship of the parties, nor otherwise specially provided for) cannot be removed from a state court into the circuit court of the United States, as one arising under the constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States, unless that appears by the plaintiff's statement of his own claim; and that, if it does not so appear, the want cannot be supplied by any statement in the petition for removal or in the subsequent pleadings.
In the present case the declaration is in the ordinary form of an action of ejectment between individuals, merely describing the land and alleging the ouster of the plaintiff by the defendant. It does not show that either party claims any right under the constitution or laws of the United States, or that the government of the United States or any third party claims or asserts any title or right to the land in controversy. So far as the declaration shows, the only question in the case might be merely whether the plaintiff has any title, or whether the defendant has taken possession. There was therefore no ground for ousting the jurisdiction of the courts of the state, and removing the case into the courts of the United States for trial.
The case must be remanded to the court in which it was originally brought. If such a defense as was set up in the circuit court of the United States should be hereafter set up in the courts of the state, and overruled by the highest court of the state to which the case can be taken, the judgment of that court may be reviewed by this court on writ of error.
Judgment reversed, with costs, and case remanded to the circuit court of the United States, with directions to remand it to the circuit court of the Fifth judicial circuit of the state of Maryland.

# Chapters From the New Apocrypha/For Jesus' Sake

Published in the November 23, 1893 edition of The Open Court.
Jesus entered into a certain village of the Samaritans; And there were with him Philip and Bartholomew and James, the Lord's brother. Now while they stood in the market-place they were an hungered, and did eat of the fruits of them that sold: Pomegranates and figs and grapes and other fruits and spices also. And while they ate he that kept the tables talked with Jesus and the other disciples. And as the merchant was turned away a lad drew near and stole a fig and a pomegranate from the table. Now the merchant saw him not, nor any other; But Bartholomew saw him, and ran and caught him. And when he would have haled him to the judge that he be cast into prison, Philip saith unto him, Nay, let the Lord rebuke him and let him go. Now Jesus, having heard what was said by his disciples, was exceeding sorry; And he saith unto them, I charge thee, Bartholomew, that thou shouldst not condemn this lad thyself, nor hale him to the judge. For it is not thou but this merchant whose goods he hath stolen whose right it is.
And to Philip he saith, Why should I rebuke the lad? Doth not his own heart reprove him more than my words? Then James, the Lord's brother, seeing that Jesus was very sorrowful, spoke saying, Wist ye not what the Lord said on the mount? If any man take thy coat let him have thy cloak also. Let the lad take whatever he will. And Jesus grieved yet the more, and he saith unto them, Have I been so long a time with you, and hast thou not known me? Then saith he unto the lad, Wast thou an hungered that thou hast stolen the fig and the pomegranate? And the lad wept and answered him, Nay, but I would make merry with my friends. Yet did I never transgress before. Then Jesus gave the lad a penny, and saith unto him, Go and buy the fruits that thou didst steal. And steal no more; and as I have paid the price for thee, remember henceforth to keep the law for my sake. And when the lad had gone away free, Jesus saith unto his disciples, and unto the merchant, and unto all them who were gathered about: What ye have this day seen done by me in a little thing, That also must I do in a greater thing. For what I have done for the lad this hour that must I do for the world, that for my sake the world may be free.
# Chapters From the New Apocrypha/The Kingdom of Heaven

Published in the October 12, 1893 edition of The Open Court.
Now as Jesus tarried by the wayside with his disciples, there came unto him certain of the Pharisees, tempting him and asking him questions. And Peter rebuked the Pharisees because of their importunity. But Jesus saith unto Peter: Suffer them to ask of me what they will. For verily I say unto thee, I am the Truth. And the Truth feareth not, but answereth every man according as He will. Verily it profiteth a man to seek wisdom. And if he come to me the wisdom that I shall give him shall never fail. Then murmured the Pharisees among themselves, saying, How can this be? Is not this man Jesus, the carpenter's son? And yet he saith, I will give ye wisdom. Is not wisdom of the Greeks? Then said they unto Jesus, Master, it is written in the Scriptures by our father Moses that the Lord God made man of the dust of the ground: And again, God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And God called the firmament Heaven; And His throne is established in Heaven of old, even from everlasting. How sayest thou then, the Kingdom of Heaven is within us? Because of their unbelief Jesus looked upon them sorrowing. Now there was a spring of water by the wayside. And Jesus saith unto the Pharisees: Behold the water! Tell me, cometh the water from the earth or from the heavens? Some answering said, From the earth; But others said, From the Heavens; And they disputed among themselves. Then saith Jesus unto them, What did David say unto you? Truth shall spring out of the earth and righteousness shall look down from Heaven. And as the waters are, even so is the Kingdom of Heaven. For it cometh down from the mountains, and it riseth up out of the valleys. And even as the waters rain down from the Heavens, and a pool forms in the hollow of a rock; In the morning it is there; and behold the sun cometh, and at eventide the pool is no more. And thou can'st not tell whither it goeth. Yet in His own way God hideth the waters. As they were in the pool in the morning so shall they be in the clouds of night. And they shall come again upon the mountain tops and upon the sea; And the waters shall be good to drink, or they shall be brine, as God hath ordained. But whether here or there, or above in the Heavens, or in the deep places of the earth, the waters cannot be lost. Even so shall the Kingdom of Heaven be.

United States Supreme Court
157 U.S. 368
Colvin v. Jacksonville
On May 3, 1894, John H. Colvin, describing himself as a citizen of the state of Illinois, filed a bill of complaint in the circuit court of the United States for the Northern district of Florida against the city of Jacksonville, a municipal corporation of the state of Florida, and one D. U. Fletcher, mayor of said city, wherein, alleging that he was the owner of property, real and personal, to the amount of $50,000, within said city, and subject to municipal taxation, he prayed that the defendants should be restrained from issuing and disposing of bonds of the city to the amount of $1,000,000. The grounds of relief stated in the bill were that, after the qualified electors approved the issue of the bonds payable in lawful money, the city council, by ordinance, provided that it should be payable in gold coin, and that the law under which the question of issuing the bonds had been submitted to the electors was illegal and void, because repugnant to the constitution of the United States. The bill was subsequently amended, and an answer was filed, denying that the complainant was a citizen of the state of Illinois and that he had taxable property in the city of Jacksonville to the amount of $50,000.
There was a motion for an injunction and the appointment of a receiver, and on the 3d day of December, 1894, the court denied the motion for an injunction; and thereupon the complainant filed a motion, and asked leave to further amend his bill by joining as parties complainant the names of other owners of property assessable by the city, so that the joint liability of such owners and the complainant would exceed $2,000 for taxes, and thus remove the objection to the jurisdiction of the court that the amount involved in dispute did not exceed the sum of $2,000.
On December 4, 1894, the court denied leave to amend the bill, and made a final decree dismissing the bill for want of jurisdiction. Thereupon the complainant prayed for an appeal to the supreme court, which was allowe by the district judge.
H. Bisbee, for appellant.
A. W. Cockrell and J. C. Cooper, for appellees.
Mr. Justice SHIRAS, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Colvin v. Jacksonville (57 U.S. 368)/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
157 U.S. 368
Colvin v. Jacksonville
It is claimed on behalf of the appellant that the appeal may be sustained in this case because it is one in which the question of the jurisdiction of the court below is in issue, and thus within section 5 of the judiciary act of March 3, 1891.
But that section provides that 'in such case the question of jurisdiction alone shall be certified to the supreme court from the court below for decision,' and this record does not disclose any such certificate.
Accordingly, no course is left open to this court but to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Any discussion of this question of practice is rendered unnecessary by the full treatment it received in the recent case of Maynard v. Hecht, 151 U.S. 324, 14 Sup. Ct. 353, wherein it was held that in the instance of an appeal upon the question of jurisdiction, under the fifth section of the act, a certificate by the circuit court, presenting such question for the determination of this court, is explicitly and in terms required, in order to invoke the exercise by this court of its appellate jurisdiction, and that the absence of such certificate is fatal to the maintenance of the appeal. See, likewise, Shields v. Coleman, 157 U.S. 168, 15 Sup. Ct. 570.
Appeal dismissed.
