HIDDEN LIVES"
Synopsis of Sermon Delivered on Sum
day by Bishop Holt.

Synopsis of a Sermon Delivered on Sum
day by Bishop Holt.
Bishop Holt preached at the United
Brethren church, on SUI day, from the text
(Colossians iii, 81: "For We are dead, and
your life is hid with Christ in God" No
man can be true Christian until he has
funeral in his soul, for he must bury him
self and take in Christ Now there are
three steps for one to take, said the speaker.
First, we must take a new life-a life OF
devotion to God. The Apostle said, :" IT'S
not me that liveth, but Christ in me-"
Jesus spoke of his coming as a well of
life.'' and John says, "Whosoever will let
him come and Dartake of the water of life
freely" We have but one life; it is life
with many changes. The man of fifty
looks back and sees what change, he is
not like be was twenty or thirty years
before; yet it is the same life.
The year has its changes of seasons yet
il is the same year. This life in US develops
and grows, yet is the same life. In a life of
God we find comfort peace and love. The
secret of our happiness is found IN our COM
munion with God, our close relation to
Him. What is man without God? he
is 6 man without hope. You start out IN
lie, ana YOU see OuO oiNASS.
thing YOU see is manifestation of His
greatness What would you think OF 8
man, who would 90 out into this world OF
grandeur. and with all its manifestations OF
a God, and not recognize God3
Did you notice how much more beautl-
full the stars shone last night after their
being SO long hidden from our sight?
remember when l was little boy, thought
the stars were specSs in the sky. Then, as
l grew older l thought they were other
worlds. bat as I studied l learned that they
were other suns and systems of worlds with
their governing suns.
THE fool has said in his heart there is
no Cod 1t is a good thing he only
Ehispssd it, and didn't tell anybody else.
The second thought, as given by the
Apostle, is a life in Christ. was once
given the beautiful thought BY Theodore
Parker, picturing God as a father. ever
ready to give aid and assistance, or as
mother, with that ready love that calls on
and out of sin. Oh how love to think
of that father and mother thusl
OH thou great Father Of man:
Oh thou Mother, take me 10 your heart.

THE NORTH LEvEE.
Something From Citizen Who is Famil-
lar With its Foundation.

Something From a Citizen Who is Famil-
lar With its Foundation.
EDS. RECORD UNION; By request of sew
eral prominent citizens, and having cor
rect knowledge of the whole subject, l
desire to reply to the article in the SUNDAY
UNION, coming from G. W. Hancock,
through your reporter, concerning our
north levee, lat the point nearest the
American River where it crosses Burns
Slough" Mr. Hancock remarks concern
ing the foundation of our north levee are
erroneous; and if not conradicted will
have a tendency to cause distrust and fear
in the minds of many concerning the main
protection to our city during such times as
the present.
The house where the writer of this article
lived when the levee was built, was but
few hundred yards from the spot men
toned in Sundays article, viz: The point
nearest the American River, where the
leyee crosses Burns Slough" He had
teams at work during the building of the
levee and was on, and about the work of
construction daily, the levee crossing the
slough on his land, and he is fully Compel
ent to give correct account OF the manner
the work was done, which can be verified
by W. f. Knox, who was connected with
that work constantly as superintendent and
contractor from its commencement to its
finish.
The particular point mentioned was
looked upon by the Commissioners as
vital point where great care should be ex-
ercised, and Golfer dam was made to en-
able them to go down and form a connec-
ton with the sub-siratum of rock and
hardpan below The foundation was pud-
died, rock being dug out from the south
bank to make concrete, and at the same
time form an excavation to dovetail the
levee into; rock was taken from the south
bank of the slough, outside the base of the
levee, to strengthen the work at that point,
and, in my opinion. for several hundred
yards each way of the crossing of Burns
slough it is the strongest and safest piece of
levee protecting the city. It's base is about
800 feet wide, hight 40 to so feet at the
slough, so feet wide or more on top.
The whole north leEee is thoroughly well
built on foundation of black alkah soil.
made up of the same material. Most of
the people who were concerned in the
building of that levee are dead. w. f.
Knox, one of the Commissioners at that
time, was on and sboutthe work daily and
constantly, and will substantiate all of the
above, and much more, if necessary.
Since the leyee was originally completed,
it has been twice raised and strengthened,
and after the railroad company laid their
rails upon it they covered the base for sew
eral feet On The outside, from the railroad
bridge to Burns slough, with cobbles and
granite materially improving and strength

hood, walked seven or eight miles to see
her. But when he came to the gates OF the
castle the guards would not let him in.
Although he pleaded with them and told
them how far he had walked, they would
not listen, so he went away, but came back
a second time and pleaded; but 1t was OF
no avail. Then he went and sat up against
a stone wall. At last the Prince OF Wales,
who is noted for his acts of kindness,
came out and was stopped by the boy, who
told him his trouble. The Prince was
touched by his story, and taking him BY
the hand led him to his mother. the
Queen. So his greatest desire was filled,
and he went away happy.
Do you remember when you sought
God? l remembe when l first sought
Him. 1t was in the back seat in the church,
and when l found Him my heart rejoiced.
Third-Paul tells of a hidden life-a life
hidden or concealed in Christ. A Chris
tian's life is mysteriously covered. But
when Christ shall appear, then shall ye be
manifested by him. What is life? We can
not see it. Take the China lily, we don't
know where the life is; it is mysterious
something that takes something from the
air and out of the water, which keeps it
from dying. Yet no one knows where this
plastic life is. l would like to see the man
who could tell me where my life is. Your
life is hidden in Christ. He has hidden it
from US. He sees fire; they are pouring
water on it; still it burns up; still they pour
more water on, and still higher burns the
fire. Go around behind he fire and there
stands man pouring on oil. Just so with
US. God will hold us up, even if we cannot
see him.
Oh what joy, my brethren, for this hid
den life See the man that tolls all day,
and comes home at night all tired out.
Why does he toll thus? In that home you
will find a mother maybe loving wife,
for whom he finds pleasure in working.
That IS what makes the hands toll on from
day to day. That's what makes the pen
fly, fly on, never ceasing. It's the love for
these that makes all labor sweet. Thus 1t
is with those working for Christ. He
makes all our trials sweet by his promises.
1t is our life in Christ that makes peace,
love and happiness.
have been in homes where all seemed
quiet and peaceful, while others that were
better supplied were not as happy. DR..
Drummond related a circumstance that
happened in Scotland. A little girl from
her earliest days seemed to fill all about
her with happiness by her kindness, and
as she grew every one who knew her
learned to love her more and more. At the
age of twenty-one she died, and on her
neck was found locket, which she had
allowed no one to open. But when she
lay dead, her mother, expecting to see the
portrait of some one dear to her, opened it
and found written on piece of paper:
Whom not having seen, we love."-1
Peter l., IS. This was the secret of her life.
Young man, young woman, it is your
privilege to have this peace. Now, how
many will accept this peace?
Last evening Bishop Holt preached from
the text: Matthew xix, 20, 81. Meetings
are being held each evening during the
week.

Funeral Yesterday of the Late Engineer,
Charles Cox.
The Central NJ. E. Church was filled yes
terday with the relatives and friends of the
late engineer, Charles W. Cox, who was
killed in the wreck near Dsvisville. Friday
night. The funeral services at the church
were conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Beecbgood,
assisted by Revs. McKelyey, Merrill and
Corwin, also by the church choir, and both
the services and the music were of an un-
usually impressive character. The services
at the grave were conducted by the Court
Capitol of Foresters, No. 6,742, a delegs-
ton of whom officisted as pall-hearers,
and further showed the high esteem in
which the deceased was held by contribUt-
ing a handsome floral offering.
Many handsome floral designs were sent
by relatives and friends, and these were
placed about the pulpit at the church with
beautiful effect. The deceased was highly
esteemed by his fellow-workmen, and all
who knew him were impressed by his
many manly Christian qualities.
lie was an active worker in religious
circles. and his loss will be keenly felt in
the church of which he was a member, as
well as in other religious Institutions.

LEyEE WORK.
Trustee Mclaughlin Opposed to What is

Trustee Mclaughlin Opposed to What Is
Being Done on Street.
After the adjournment of the City Board
of Trustees yesterday there was short
and sharp controversy between Mayor
Gregory and Trustee Mclaughlin over the
matter of the work that is being done on
the Y-street levee. The latter commended
that the former was wasting public money
in having the work done.
WELL" replied the Mayor, "the people
know what they want. They declare this
work necessary as q precaution against
possible danger, and l am in favor of hay
ing it done.'
YES" said Mclaughlin, land you might
as well throw the peoples money away"
II am not an obstructionist in times of
emergency" replied the Mayor. There
were at least five hundred citizens viewing
the work done yesterday, and there was
but one person who had any objection to
offer against it, and that person was q
member of the City Board of Trustees, who
went about kicking at the expense. l am
in favor of having the work done, and the
people want and expect it."
YES" growled the Second Trustee, II

until election time"

joined the Mayor, in a very pointed man.
ner, "but 1 am ready to go down in my
pocket and pay my share of the expense as
one of the three Trustees of this city. l
don't go about the streets grunting and
growing about thing of this kind when
an apparent emergency is upon US. Con-
trsst Trustee Wolf s action with yours. He
says he is willing that hundred thousand
dollars be spent, if necessary, to place the
city beyond all possible danger from high
water"
There were some further remarks on
either side of similar import, showing that
Trustee Mclaughlin is opposed to the city
assuming any Indebtedness to raise and
strengthen the southern defenses of the
city-a work for which the leading pro-
perty owners and taxpayers have been
praying, and the immediate expense of
which they are willing to pay and wait for
its return until the city can provide there

had been SO long delayed. He said the
Trustees had been importuned for days
and nights to get the thing a-going, aud
they had repeatedly urged Street Commits
sioner Mclaughlin to do so, but he could
not be prevailed upon to act Finally the
people down that way became desperate
and declared that if the pump were not
started they would take possession of it
themselves. AS matters seemed to be
about coming to a crisis, Commissioner
Mclaughlin was induced to move in the
matter.

pie who have been so long troubled By the

1T was Not a Dream.

An amusing case was heard in the Police
Court, in which John Hyde was the COM
plainant and f. Steinbacher the defendant
Hyde charged that his peace had been
rudely disturbed by Schumacher last
Wednesday. The two occupy rooms il
the same house. On the day mentioned
Schumacher, as Hyde testified, rushed into
the lstter's room while under the influence
of liquor and pointed two pistols at him
and threatened to do murder. Hyde was
positive that he had not dreamed this, and
as Schumacher couldn't remember much
about the transaction, verdict of guilty
was rendered. Schumacher will be SEN
fenced to-day.

Early last evening young man known
as Butch" and an acquaintance got into a
war of words in restaurant on K street,
near the City Hotel. The waiter, Barney
Dean requested them to refrain from quar-

term to him.
Barney is of the auburn haired persua-
sion and not slow about resenting an in
suit. So he sailed into Butch" and they
had it pretty lively for a time. Deans adj
versary tried the glass; throwing business,
but the proprietor took hand, and he was
hustled out upon the sidewalk in short or
