TO PAVE MAIN STREET.

At the last session of the City Coun-
Gil, petition from several of the most
prominent properry-owners on the
street was presented, asking that this
street be paved. 1t was at once re-
ferred to the committee on streets, and
there is little question that this work, in
connection with the other that is laid
o1t, will be done. and that the commit
tee will report favorablv on the propo
sition. 1t is not likely that there will
be any opposition to it, and the neces-
sity for action of this kind is recog.
nized by the City Council itself. 1t has
previously been announced in these
columns that one especial reason for
the desire to have the sewer mains
laid down Main Street forthwith
was that the work of paving
that street might not be delayed into
another winter. And as the sewers are
SO soon to be started, it is wise and
economical that The paving be delayed
until the sewer mains are laid along
this street. And so the coed work
rolls on.

Crop Report.

WASHINGTON. April 22.-The weekly
weather crop report says, among other
things: The reports from the northern
States indicate that the week has been
unusually cold and farm work has been
greatly retarded. Reports from the
southern States show that the weather
during the week affected all the crops
favorably, Cotton planting is pro-
crossing rapidly and generally through
out the cotton States. The week is
reported as the most favorable of the
season. Light frosts occurred in
North Carolina on the Goth, which may
prove injurious to the fruit and crops
on the low ground. From the States
south of the Missouri River. including
Kansas, Nebraska spd southern Mis-
souri,, it is stated that the weather has
been generally favorable, and that the
crops are we'll advanced.

PRESBYTERIAN.

There was a large audience at the
First Presbyterian church, yesterday
morning. The subject of DIR. McNiece's
sermon was: Enthusiasm in the
Christian Life" suggested by Luke IA {:
1926: "And there went great multi
tudes with him; and he turned
and said unto them: If any man
come to me, and hate not his
father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea.
and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple" The following is a brief
synopsis of the sermon:
Since we know that Christ came down
from heaven for the express purpose of
securing the salvation of sinners, by
drawing them away from their sins to
Himself as divine Savior. and since we
know that He did have a most tender
love for men, even the worst men, we
are sometimes started by the way in
which He seems to have discouraged
men from becoming His disciples. He
seems to repel them from him often
by the severity of the tests He subjects
them to. To one who proposed to be
His disciple; He said in substance" Yen
better not, for my poverty is greater
than that of the foxes and the birds"
To another He said: You better
not wait to attend your fathers
funeral, but enter into my service
now" And to the great null
titude in the tsnt thronging about
him. he said: "You cannot be my
disciples, unless you turn your backs on
home and kindred !" What interpreta-
ton are we to put upon these and
similar passages? Certainly not a
literal one. Ch.ist's gospel certainly
does not make it our duty to be IN
different to the claims of home and
kindred, for Christianity requires US to
show kindness and love to all. and de-
clares that the Christian who does not
provide for his owns and specially for
those of his own house, is worse than
IN infdel."
The evident meaning of these passages

WATER.
blessing.

a communication in THE HERALD this
morning grapples the water question in
a way we rather like. An idea seem> to
be prevalent that We are at the mercy of
the owners of streams to the south of
US for our water supply. The COM
mupication in question states that at
least three-fourths of City Creek runs to
waste. This is true. There is no need
for US to look for new streams. Let our
City Council brace itself up and grapple
the question of saving this water and
the problem is solved. The work can
be done with perfect safety; it need not
cost so much as the purchase of another
stream, which also will run to waste. 1t
will be of better advantage to the whole
valley, and there are means by which it
can be made of the utmost beauty
and utility. 1t is all very
we'll to pooh, pooh sugges-
ton, but none of our councils, with all
their suggestions, have solved this
problem. With stream of water ample
to supply one-fourth of million people
already controlled by the city, and only
needing to be saved, it does not look as
though We should be wasting time
hunting around for other streams. We
are absolutely independent on the water
question. What we want is that the
Council members, Gf their private bus
mess is so pressing they cannot give the
subject close and immediate attention),
shall use the city money in purchasing
the time and brains of competent per-
sons, and let plan for saving our waste
water be devised, accepted and carried
out. There is neither credit nor profit
in dallying with the subject, and the
city taxpayers will not complain Of
the use of money for this purpose.
Time was when we had ample water.
But our city is growing fast. 1t will
grow faster. We want the water saved
and awaiting the citizen and not the
citizen awaiting the water, as will be the
case II the matter is not acted upon
energetically.
We know that to this subject a vast
amount of time has been devoted and
much thought given, and it may be
even now some plan has been devised.
Let US trust SO; but we do object to any
delay. 1t is not to be expected that
members of the Council shall neglect
the private interests altogether to
grapple with public affairs exclusively,
but our citizens have sufficient conf
dercs in the Council to approve any
expenditure of money that will employ
expert intelligence and energetic men
to bring about definite action on q
subject of such profound Importance.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-04-23

But what shall be used in the paving
of the streets is another matter entirely;
and in view of the many natural street
making resources of Utah it is likely
to become pretty well discussed ques-
ton as to where the choice shall rest.
We have asphaltum mlnes-perhaps
the most extensive in the world, and
certainly inferior to none. it is OBJ
jected to asphaltum that it has been q
failure here in most cases. Whether
the difficulty can be overcome per
manently is conjeotural, and while
it might have stood chancs in the race
for use On the sidewalks, it is almost q
fore gone conclusion that it is out of the
running for use on the streets. There
are those who favor the Macsdam road
and cobble road is urged by many for
its durability. The slate that exists in
almost limitless quantities up Parley's
canyon and within so few mills of the
city seems rapidly to be gaining in favor,
and for many reasons. By those ia
miliar with its use, the claim is made
that it packs perfectly, becomes
smooth. is not dust producer and will
never get muddy, no matter how wet
the season may be. Then, again, its
proximity to Salt Lake City, the cheap
ness with which it can be mined,
the short distance it has to
be brought, aud the fact that
railroad is likely to run through the
bed in a few months, back up its other
Yirtaes until the arguments of its
urgers are we'll nigh invincible.
Much of this is true as to the sand
and limestone quarries which surround
the city on all sides.
And it is question that will admit of
much discussion and considerable in
vestigatiou before decision is
reached.
Did we share the Poverty of some
cities the matter might more easily be
settled, but out of the abundance of our
resources it becomes difficult to choose.
Riches are, therefore, not an unmi1ed
blessing.

Episcopal

''Blessed are they that have not seen,
and yet have believed"
This quotation from st. John, fur
nished the theme for three-quarters
of an hours thoughtful sermon, by the
Rev. Mr.. Putnam, at st. Marks Cathe-
dral, yesterday morning. Though there
were no direct statements, nor any
mention of names, it was impossible not
to recognize that the discourse was
prompted by, if it was not reply to,
the many recent onslaughts from in
fdel sources upon the tenets Of Christian
beliefs. The speaker first cited the cir
cumstances of Christ's showing Him
self to His apostles, to Mary and to
Thomas, and beautifully instanced how
when some mems minds were less cap
able of grasping divine truths than
others, as in the case of Thomas, the
nationalist, who doubted until his own
hands had felt the Savior-how He
judged not harshly, but adapted Him
self to the different capacities and COM
prehensions of those who saw Him.
But it was then lie had said:
BLESSED are those that seeing
have believed. but more blessed
are they that have not seen, and
yet have believed" And this promise
was not to His disciples only, but it
reached back to the time when Job
endured his untold sufferings and still
believed on, and forward to the very
end of time. 1t applied with equal
force to-day, and great should be our
blessings if, not having seen. we still
maintained our faith. What had faith
in this promise done for the world?
low cnT11o -
sinking through long battles of life,
when assaulted by foes, both to the body
and the soul. And to have the courage
of our convictions and to maintain
them as Job did, is more noble than to
fight through a battle. Many there
were in the world who rejected religion
on account of its so-called mysteries.
What they could not see aud compre-
bend, what they could not measure by
the laws of reason, they would not be-
lieve. Reason, said they, was the only
supreme. But it was not so. 1t is God
only who is supreme. Who could walk
abroad in this season of the year and
witness the spring triumphing
over the death of winter, the
buds bursting, the blossoms send
ing forth their fragrance. the
grass sprlnging up, and not be cogni-
zant OF thatIgreat, silent, voiceless, but
energetic power which is at work over
the earth? We may call it different
names, but we cannot define it.
We cannot see it at work,
but he who therefore said
he would not believe in It
would be laughed to scorn With the
sight of this great force before US, was

Which shall it be?-or what shallit

IT MAY be set down as q fact that
there is not q single railway forging
west that does not look to Salt Lake
City, and it is also noticeable that
Salt Lake City is mentioned in connec-
ton with every railway project from
the west to the east. This fact should
silence all adverse talk and inspire
confidence that Salt Lake has no actual
and no probable rival. Her location,
her resources, climate, every thing,
speak only to- loudly and efiectually
in her behalf.
