IN GREAT LUCK.

A DPOdQs
From the Stockton Mail
Los Angeles is in great luck. Her good for
tune comes from within and without. She has
hardly recovered from her delight at striking
oil when killing frost in Florida warns the
hearts of her orange orchardsts. The Los An
geles HERALD contemplstes the phenomenon
with a spirit of business philosophy, saying
of il:
But it is an ill wind that blows nobody good,
so The adage reads. The fac, that it b ows
somebody harm is no reason why those whom
1t blows good should not take full advantage OF
the benefit The destruction of one-hRlf of
the orange crop in Florida cannot but have
salutary effect upon the market for Southern
California oranges. formidable connection is
thus removed from the field for the rest of the
season-the whole season, in truth, for the
shipment OF California fruit Is Just beginning.
The elimina ion of 100000 to $500 009
boxes of Florida fruit from the market is
bound to enhance prices to marked degree.
Surely Southern California orange growers
should derive handsome revenue from their
crop this year.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The wheat market needed
something to keep il up at the opening today.
The scalpers seemed to have the entire crop for
sale at from 5Sc down to size during the first
ten minutes OF the session. 1t received az a
critical moment all the support II required, and
soon the scalpers were as unanimously trying
TO buy as they had previously been DESTROYS OF

steady. Chicago received Al carloads Mime

corresponding day a year ago. One item of
news was to the effect that the Argentine wheat
crop is anywhere from 10 to 20 per cent smaller
this year than last and of lferior qualitv. Sew
eral cables gave further continuation TO the
above report, and heavy buying orders were re-
ceived from New YORK. The market from be-

afferWard regretted the act and wished
for reunion. One of the things Dr. Coke
brought from Wesley. was a prayer book
but it has never been published by the
book concern or been in use among Me-
thodists.
l have spoken of the past of Methodism.
No fair minded man can doubt the sim
certify and zeal of its people. We cannot
refuse to give them due credit for the
sacrifice and heroism they displayed in
their early history. The rapid growth OF
Methodism in numbers and influence is
phenomenal. But I believe much more
of lasting good might have been accom-
plished if the separation had never taken
place.
A church meeting, the zeal and enthu-
siasm of the Methodists, and steady con-
servatism OF the Episcopaleans, unite a
policy of enough elasticity to give every
man chance TO work. Joined to the
Anglican faith, such church in power
and influence would move like con-
quoring army to the conquest of the
world.
Do you ask what the future of Metho-
dism will be? If it be true so it's early
traditions it's future must be glorious.
Methodism was well born, for it first
saw the light at Oxford University Ne
thodism was we'll bred, for it was Graded
in the Anglican church. John and
Charles Wesley lived and died churchmen
/ believe if Methodism could return to
the ancient fold, the power and influence
of both bodies would be increased one
hundred fold
