THOSE RAILROADS.

The committee is still sanguine that
Shreveport will secure the Gulf as
well as the Nj. X. e. L. railroad.
True it has nothing to make public,
but still it hes every reason to be-
lieve that the railroad men, as men of
business. will not refuse the offer
made them, if they are sincere in
their desire to build roads at all.
While this is far from satisfactory
and Job has been outdone by the
people of Shreveport in the display
of patience, still there is some con-
ISOLATION in the thought that we have
a chance to get these roads at last
Just why this committee did not
get its written proposition ready fol-
presentment at the last meeting OF
the directory, for this Gulf trust
company is made public
and we suppose it would be a crime
deserving death to enquire into the
matter. Therefore The PRoGREss

TOTHE PRESS OF LOUISIANA.

1t was my intention as President of
the Louisiana Press Association to
issue call for that body to meet

next, as the day for the meeting OF
the Louisiana Press Association, and
trust that date will meet the approval
of all.
Further, in view of the fact that
the date selected may be too late to
permit delegates to reach Chicago BY
the 18th, and not wishing to assume
the responsibility of appointing rep
resentatives, 1 hereby call upon each
and every member of our association
to give expression to his or her views
upon this subject and to state whether
in their opinion the appointments,
should be made by me or deferred
until the meeting on the Sth OF May;

THE FAIR GROUNDS COMMITTEE.

1t is time for that Fair Grounds
committee to make a report. If not
prepared to make full report, then
report progress with an explanation
of what that means. Our people are
growing weary and suspicious of
committees anyway. They are be-
ginning to suspect that matters are
referred to committees to have the
object killed, not to facilitate their
workings. And their suspicious are
well founded. Shreveport has reali-
zed, at heavy cost, the danger to a
project in, its being left to a commit
tee. The writer we'll remembers that
several enterprises seeking lodgment
here, which died with this appoint
ment, the people never hearing of
the matter again.
We don't want this Fair Grounds
matter to suffer like fate, and as far
ac we are able to prevent it, we are
determined that it shall not. We
have no names to shield, no interests
protect, except the city's and we
want the public to know exactly who
is willing to assist the town and who
is not. Therefore let the president
call meeting and then let this com
mittee, without prejudice or partiality,
with a reverence ior the truth and a
high regard for candor, in the fear of
God and to uphold a clear conscience
tell exactly whom it interviewed,
what each said and the spirit in which
each said it.

THE WORLD IN THE CHURCH.

The above is the title of religious
work written by Rev. John L. Saw
yer, pastor of the Avenue Methodist
church of New Orleans. This book
contains only few pages compare
lively, but it is something which
every Christian should have. Its
contents are the collection of thoughts
and teachings which are the extracts
of a heart made humble and a mind
mellowed by divine influence. The
dangers and disasters of worldliness
In the church, and compromises of
Christian and worldly sentiments, are
there pointed out with telling force
Mr.. Sawyer has made an exhaustive
study of this, the most precarious
subject in the life of church mem
ber and is competent authority, capa-
bic of giving clear righteous de-
csion. The majority cf church
workers who err at all, do so from
misguided judgment of the true
separation of worldiness from godli-
ness, are won't to fall without being
able to assign a reason therefor.
Just what is consistency, where
Christian duly lies, it's boundaries
and limits is question over which
many would-be jealous church work
ers stumble, and it is to assist those
that this book is recommended. The
price is extremely moderate, being
only 25 cents, and can be had by
sending that sum to Mr.. Vanvalken-
berg New Orleans. 1t is really a
book that all church members who
desire TO do right should have.

satisfaction and much appreciation
the receipt of copy from our friend
and brother, Rev. John T. Sawyer
