The action of the Delaware and Hudson
Company. in laying a new piece Of track
across the tracks OF the Rutland road, in
Rutland. was it seems wholly unauthorized
by the les-ees Of the Rutland road, and, to
characterized very mildly was Certainly
strange proceeding The Delaware and
Hudson were enabled by this trespass to
run out their engine and cars which were
blockaded in their yard and perhaps this
is all they expected to accomplish. The
following letter, addressed by GOV. Smith
to the president OF the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal Company puts the transaction in
avery clear light, ana was followed by the
prompt restoration Of the tracks and yard
to their firmer condition. Whether the
latter will now accept the olive branch ten

Subject: The Child Jesus.
Matthew II 1-lO.
Matthew II 1-lO.

L. Now when jesus was born in Bethlehem of
,iudea i'll the days OF Herod the king behold
there came wise men from the east 20 Jcrusa-
lem.
2. Saying. Where IS he that is born King of
the Jews? for we l;aye seen his star in the east,
and are come TO worship him.
B. When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him.
4. And when he had gathered al the chief
priests and scribeS Of the people together he de-
mandetl of them where Christ should be born.
5. And they said unto him. In Bethlehem of
Judea for thus it is written by the prophet,
6. AMI thou Bethlehem, in the land of Ju1a,
o,ft OF thee shall come Governor that shalf
rule MY people Israel. Afcah V, 2: R.u. ii, Y.
7. Then HcroI, when he had privily callec the
wise men inquired Of them diligently what
time the star appeared.
8. And he sent them to Bethlem, and said,
Go and search diligently for the young child
and when ye have found him bring me word
again, that l may come and worship him also.
9. When they ha heard the king; they de
parted and, 10. the star, which they saw
In the east, vent before them, till it cane and

religion the one class will do it if they
feel like 1t, the other class, if they
take it as suggestion Of the spirit,
will DO 1t if they don't feel like it.,
The same will b. true in all business
affairs, in all the home life, in ali the
social life; the one class will do as
they feel-the' strongest impulse will
move them !: the other class will obey
the spirit. that is, viii obey their own
convictions of right and duty, which
Gods spirit is ever persuading men to
do.
Now the Apostle in our text says,
'1f we live ir the spirit let us also
walk in the spirit which is the same
as to say ; If we do in fact mean our
profession of religion, let US make ii
appear in our life each day, that we
are what We professor this-If we live
in tho spirit, that llie aoiU be manifest
in outward conduct, let US see to it
then that our external life is such as
truly manifests a life in the spirit
within US.
What nov are some of the things
involved in walking in the spirit---or
what will surely appear in the external
life of one who lives in the spirit?
1t is to be understood of course. that
varieties Of temperament, education,
and circumstances, will necessitate va
rieties IN the conduct Of people who
are equally good who equally live in
the spirit but these will always be
Indifferent matters.
There are few things that will in
e0itadiy appear in the lives Of those
who live in the spirit.
1st. Selt-control.
ID. Love for and JOY in the truth
in discovering and knowing it.
3rd. Loyalty to Jesus Christ and
sympathy with him.
4th. Love for the churches Of Christ
in the world.
9th. The spirit service. He who
lives in the spirit. will surely make il
appear that he is a servant of God, a
servant of Jesus, a servant Of tn,
church, servant Of his fellow mel
and that he chooses and enjoys th
service.

Our Free Lunch.

THE CRIME OF SUICIDE.-Now how
can the act Of suicide lead an immor
tai soul to heaven? Does perjury dc
it? Does robbery do it? Docs for.
gerry do it? Does arson do it? Does
blasphemy do it? Does libertinage do
it? Does ordinary murder do it? 1t
is clear that none of these crimes lead
| to heaven, for if they are crimes, how
can they lead to heaven? 1t is impos-
sible. But none Of these acts is so
heinous as suicide. 1t is said that
mans life is his own, and, therefore,
that he has right to destroy it like
any other kind Of property he possesses F.;
an, consequently, the act being thus
lawful, leads to heaven. But it is false
that man owns his own life His life
is not given to him by himself; it is
not conserved in its existence by HIM
self; and the natural law Of right and
wrong tells every man that suicide is a
crime which is as wicked against di-
vine justice as it is abhorrent to the hu-
man family Suicide, therefore, must
be crime. Nay, it must be of neccs-
sity a crime of the worst degree.
For, as life is the highest good, SO the
wanton destruction of it is of logical
aud moral necessity, the most wicked
of acts. But how can the most wicked
of acts lead to heaven? If the most
wicked of acts leads to heaven, heaven
can be nothing but place of wicked
ness. That is natural common sense
1t will be said that God is infinitely
merciful. So He Is, for He is an min
ite being--the Creator, the Eternal
Father, the source of all good. But
how can God be merciful to suicides ?
Is His justice eternal? It must be
that, or He has no justice at all for
to give an eternal God justice which
is not eternal is absurd. The Creator
must be allowed to be consistent with
Himself in His eternal nature. But
suicide is the most wicked act man
can do. Therefore it has against it the
absolute, eternal justice--that is, it is
under eternal condemnation, which
means that there can be no pardon for
it. Therefore, there can be no mercy
for it. We are not here curtalling the
power, the mercy Of the Creator.
The Creator Himself, by His natural
] law, which He has implanted in every
human soul, and by His Christ declares
and has always declared that His ma,
ture has an infinitely perfect consisten
cy in it in all its attributes that self
murder Is the worst Of deeds, and that
there can be no mercy for it. Every
crime can be repentel for but one
suicide, When a man kills himself he
has terminated his power to repent, to
do reparation to the Almighty, and the
consequences must be taken. And let
not the tongue of Blasphemy break
out in ribald language against God tor
His eternal justice, for there is no in
justice. in Him, 10 impertectlonj but He
IS infinitely perfect in all good, ana
this he could not be if selt-muraer
were parlonabls dso1'-N ~ Her.
