ErHRAIm, THE SPOILED OHILD.
A strong Sermon By Rev. DR.. McChes-

A Strong Sermon by Rev. DR.. McChes-
ney as Trinity M. e. Church.
"Ephraim, the Spoiled Child" was the
subject of Rev. DR.. McChesney's last even.
ings sermon. He chose mis- text from Hosea
ri, 8: Chow shall I give thee mp, Ephraimp
propose to traverse the traits of Eph-
marks. Ephraim, the individual, must give
place to the tribe bearing his name. A man
may transmit not only his name but his char
acter to his offspring. Ephraim's name siz-
Mites double fruitfulness. He was not era
died In poverty, but was born In Egypt dur
ing. tbs years of plenty. As Jossph's son he
shared in Joseph's elevation. When Jacob
adopted Ephrsim and Manasseh he reversed
the order of nature and gave to Ephraim the
first born's place. His tribe was given the
place of preferment and power In Canaan.
God said, Ephraim is my first born. His
prosperity became proverbial.
The greatest of all heresies is that which
teaches that q man can disobey God and
prosper. Providence forssaw that Israel's
greatest peril would come from social contact
with the Canaanites. Hence the command
to expel them, o command which has kept
scoffers busy ever since. Ephraim. instead
of expelliug the Canaanites, coddled them,
and the children of Ephraim at length be-
came like the first families of Babylon; Eph-
RAIN became spoiled child, disobedient and
reckless.
Suoh was Ephranus' policy, to disobey God.
Ephraim formed alliances with Lyris. This
question Of alliances can't be ignored. They
once 60 prosperous, became drunken, q sot
and the crown Of his beauty was gone
Hallway work in religion Is destined to q
whole failure. The Psalmist says "The
children of Ephraim being around with
bows, turned back in the day
Of bs .sss .a ESald bow. ; uS.;rune
show which way Ephraim is drifting.
Things are approaching crisis. There was
q good deal Of plain dealing with Ephraim
but It was full of tenderness.
Still It was no avail. Ephraim made
many affairs to sin. His own device be-
came his stumbling block until he became
Joined to his idols.
The iniquity Of Ephraim is found up In
one huge bundle and when that bundle is
unbound, Ephraim goes out of sight, Joined
to his idols still.
Life is exposed to many oalamities. but the
greatest possible calamity which can befall
any mortal as to tempt God by persistent
disobedience until GOO let's him alone. Once
his name was written in the book of life; now
It 10 written "Let him alone" There are
many suggestions full of improvement.
II God has given to us the 6rst-born's
place let us improve 1t. Beware of slack
bows. Lst rs not turn back In the day Of
battle. God Ii . being of heart % well as
thought.
he feels as we'll as DEGREES. How his COM
passion followed Kphraiml That same COM
passion feels for us. If we have been kept
from Ephraims fall We owe to Gods grace.
How many in our day 60 out Of sight after
the manner Of Ephraim!

soUrHBURY's OIL WELL,

Some interest has been aroused among the
Waterbury parties connectedlwith the South
bury oil we'll scheme over the fact that few
days ago petroleum was discovered at GLOW
ersville, N. Y. The well was bring sunk to
discover natural gas, but at depth of geo
feet oil WAS struck. The oil was only tapped,
but It rose to height of 900 feet through :
seven-inch casing. Gloversville il not far
from Albany, and this IL the nearest point to
Connections where oil has yet been disoov-
cred. Operations at the Southbury wsn are
at q standstill, az indeed they have been for
several months. There is no immediate
prospect for q resumption Of boring. although
the project has by no means been abandoned.
Many of those interested in the we'll still
maintain confidence in the probability that
petroleum gas exists In the Southbury re-
gion. When boring operations ceased the
shaft had been sunk to q depth of over 500
feet. 1t lie not infrequently the case that
wells are sunk from 1900 to 5000 feet be-
fore oil 10 struck.

Material for Paving.

Already there has been enough said
about paving material to fill several vol
umes. The greatest objection that has
been raised against asphalt is that it will
not last, and many instances have been
cited by some of Denver's papers as proof
of this supposed fact. Bearing on this
point it will be well to mention that in
London, England, asphalt is almost en-
tirely used as a paving material in that
business part of the city which has the
heaviest traffic, and has not only proved
itself satisfactory, but has been extended
from year to year whenever an occasion for
paving occurred.
According to a statement in the London
Times of March I'd, census was taken by
the city authorities of the number of pc
destrians and wheeled vehicles which
passed Regent Circus on the previous day,
and it was found the number amounted to
somewhat over 250,000 pedestrians and %,
600 vehicles. As it is not likely that any
street in Denver will ever have to bear
such heavy traffic, no objection can be
raised to asphalt on the ground of non-
durability. Asphalt, as rule, proves sat
isfactory when it is properly laid.-Archi.
