OF the statelier Eden that is to come in

power yet meek and lowly in manner

was no less perfect and no less sublime
IMAM his wisdom; a philosopher who
com Dlned the porch of lofty thinking
Win the sweet hand Of charity; theo-
logan who turned the temple of dogma
INTO an asylum of helpful love; and
norallst who not only portrayed with
lllasster-hand the royal qualities of spirit
ualIty, Dut Himself became to men the
aii-radlant model and fiawless pattern of
al right living. Wherever He went or
Whatever he touched began straightway
TO sclntlllate with God-like possibilities.
Under His impulse how quickly the
seauy oeggar is robbed in jeweled pur-
pies; ana one Matthew, taXgatherer,
turns into sacred biographer; and one
Luke, physician, yields the pen of a
olvlne historian; and one John, fisher
man, rises INTO philosophers; and
one Paul, bigoted tentmaker, flames
INTO an inspired orator and missionary;
and one Peter, a white-livered coward,
towers up into dauntless hero, and a
whole group of ordinarily endowed men
are made Immortality bright. Under the
throb of His fresh lips the atmosphere
forever thrills with the eloquence of love,
ana The once cold, awful, far-otf \ lmighty
becomes to US Il tender bosom friend.
Win his outstretched, pierced hands
on the cross, He teaches the fundamental
oneness OF the race, and 10! discovered
men everywhere spring forth at once to
clasp hands in eternal brotherhood. I'm

The scarlet sinners penitental tear
washes white the vilest dye of guilt, and
the paIlld features of the dying break
forth into heavenly smile.
Touched by his ethics, the marriage tie
assumes the awfulness and glory of holy
sacrament, and the soul mounts into in
comparable worth, and heaven, instead
OF an airy, philosophic dream, becomes a
grand matter-of-tac reality, based on
life OF righteousness. Touched. guarded,
refined and perpetually nodded by such
presence as Christs, how can human
lty fail to reach the highest progress in
the centuries to come? And, i'll fact, the
transforming qualities above mentioned,
are they not the adequate secret and
source of his eyer-growing supremacy
and empire i'll the world?

Increase of Religious Bodies.

EDS. RECORD UNION: In the sermon
delivered yesterday at the Sixteenth
street Lutheran Church. by the pastor, a
statement of the increase of the different
religious bodies was given showing the
per cent. of increase, ranging from 80 per
cent. to 6S per cent. by the last census.
am sorry the brother overlooked in
his census investigation the statement
given of the increase of the Christian
Church or Disciples of Christ, as such
statement would have greatly increased
the net per cent" which is given as II
per cent.
1t is fact not generally known that
the Christian Church has made during
the last decade the greatest per cent. OF
increase of any religious body in the
world, Catholic or Protestant, according
to the United States census report.
append an article published recently
in the New York san, concerning com
parative church growth:
In the last ten years the Methodist
Church increased 30 per cent, the Pres
byterlans 40 per cent, the Congregation
alists IS per cent. These remarkable
figures, however, are exceeded by an
other organization, which is exhibiting
amazing vitality. We refer to the Dis
ciples of Christ, who are congregational
in ecclesiastical polity, Baptist in their
mode. of baptism, and who advocate as
their leading principle the restoration of
the lost unity of believers, and so of the
Church OF Christ. The new census gives
them gain of more than So per cent?
offer also statement made by Rev,
DR.. Agnew in the Bethlehem Presby-
terrain Church in Philadelphia, and pub
lished i'll the Philadelphia Press July II,
1892:
During the last ten years the Method
lists increased 30 per cent, Congregation
alists 80 per cent, Lutherans is per cent,
from large Scandinavian immigration;
the Presbyterians 40 per cent, the Dis
ciples So per cent?

Evans of this city, who is charged by

Bakers story is that Evans called at

he claimed Baker owed him. On Mrs.
Bakers refusal to acknowledge the debt,
or liquidate 1t, Evans made an assault
upon her, but the lady procured a re-

Evans is said to have gone up to Placer

Those Lieu Lands.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: / am not as well
posted on the lieu land subject as might
be, but l would like to ask, "by what
right the Surveyor General keeps those
papers, which are supposed to be filings,
locked up in his safe, and on the strength
OF such papers refusing to allow others to
file on such lands?"
1t appears to me that if he has accepted
those papers with the customary fee of s.,
winch the law says must accompany all
nnngs, then they are public property and
as such open for inspection. On the other
hand, if he has not done so and they are
not public property, as the Surveyor
General claims, then by what right does
ne refuse to allow others to file on the
lands in question?
say refuse, which is not Just exactly
rlght, as my understanding is that he has
no right TO refuse until the land is finally
disposed OF, but he will discourage you in
every possible way by telling you it is
Just waste of your time, as there are
hllngs five or six deep on the land, etc.
1t looks as though he was trying to de-
lay the matter to enable someone to pre-
pare new filings to take the place OF the
ones they are now asking leave to amend

THREE DECISIONS.
Two Judgments Affirmed, and One
New Trial Ordered.
Reversal In a Damage Case From
Fresno County-Placer and Suffer
Judgments to Stand.

The following decisions of the Supreme
Court were filed in Deputy Clerk Govan's
office yesterday:
In the case of Charles c. Lyons VS.. F.
Il. Knowles and others (appellants), an
action brought in Fresno County TO re-
cover damages for a personal injury,
alleged to have been u>ed through the
negligence of defendants, it was alleged
that defendants were engaged as partners
III quarrylng rock and transporting the
same by railroad, and employed one
busy to haul the rock from the quarry to
the railroad station and there load the
same on the cars. That by the terms of
their contract with busy, they agreed to
furnish all necessary and proper ma
chinery and appliances for the purpose of
Loading and unloading the rock and TO
furnish aSsistadce in loading the rock
from the ground onto the cars.
In October, 1888, while busy was en-
gagged in hauling and loading the granite
blocks under the contract, the defendants,
regardl ess of their duty and the lives and
safety of plaintiff and others employed,
carelessly and negligently, it is alleged,
caused TO be attached to a derrick a block
and tackle, for the purpose of loading and
unloading said granite, which block and
tackle was used during all of the times
mentioned i'll the complaint.
1nlS DOCK ana tackle, particularly the
hook OF the upper block, was imperiectly
constructed, defective, weak and unsafe,
and wholly inadequate in strength to
support the weight of particular block
mentioned in the complaint, and that the
defendants knew of the imperfection and
unSafeness.
1t was also alleged that on the lst of
December, lSSS, plaintiff was employed
by busy to load and unload said granite,
and was then and there, with the assist
ance of defendants and employees, en-
gagged in loading from the ground onto a
car Il certain block of granite, and that
while 50 engaged the hook alluded to, by
reason OF its imperfection and made
quacy, broke and gave way, without fault
OF plaintiff, causing the rock to fall,
crushing his foot so that amputation be-
came necessary.
After demurrer had been overruled,
defendants answered, denying that they
were partners, ana in effect all the allega-
tons OF the complaint. The case was
tried by jury, which returned a verdict
tor the plaintiff.
\ motion tor a new trial was made by
defendants, one of the grounds being
that the evidence was insufficient to sup
port the decision. The motion having
been denied the defendants appealed from
the judgment and from the order denying
them a new trial.
The Supreme Court reviews the case at
great length and holds, among other
things, that negligence on the part of de-
PENDANTS could not be reasonably .in-
1erred from the evidence. The Judgment
and order of the lower court is reversed
and new trial ordered.
