in and out amid the crevices. These
flowers in Christ's garden are not, like
the sunaower, gaudy in the light, but
wherever darkness hovers over soul
that needs to be comforted there they
stand, night blooming cereuses.
But in Christ's garden there are
plants that may be better compared
to the Mexican cactus-thorns without,
loyeliness within, men with sharp
points of character. They wound al
most every one that touches them.
They are hard to handle. Men pro-
nounce them nothing but thorns, but
Christ Loves them Notwithstanding all
their sharpness. Many man has had
a very hard ground to cultivate, and
it has only been through severe trial
he has raised even the smallest crop of
grace. A very harsh minister was
talking to a very placid elder, and the
placid elder said to the harsh minister,
Doctor, I do wish you would control
your temper" ''Ah, said the minis
ter to the elder, 81 control more tenn
per in Eve minutes than you do in FIVE
years"
It is harder for some men to do right
than for other men to do right. The
grace that would elevate you to the
seventh heaven might not keep your
brother from knocking man down.
I had a friend who came to me and
said, 81 dare not join the church" l
said, "Why2" "Oh," he said, Il have
such a violent temper! Yesterday
morning I was crossing very early at
the Jersey City ferry, and I saw a
milkman pour large quantity of
water into the milk can, and I said
to him, 7 think that will do and
he insulted me, and I knocked him
down. Do you think I ought to join
the church2" Nevertheless that
very same man. who was so harsh in
his behavior, loved Christ and could
not speak of sacred things without
tears ofemotion and affection. Thorns
without, sweetness within-the best
specimen of the Mexican cactus I ever
saw Thereare others planted in Christ
garden who are always radiant, al
ways impressive, more like the roses
of deep hue that we occasionally find,
called "Glants of Battle" the Martin
Luthers, St. Pauls, Chrysostoms,
Wyclifs, Latimers and Samuel Ruther-
fords. What in other men IS spark
in them isa confagration. When they
sweat great drops of blood. When

when cuts have been made in the appropria-
tons TO have nothing TO say concerning
it for publication, and 1t is his preference
now.
Commissioner Powell had pretty nearly
the same TO say, but he added his regrets
that his department had been so merciIessly
dealt with. Referring 10 the provision for
street lighting. he said 1t would be impos-
slble to give an adequate service for the
amount appropriated.
We are now" he said, 'trying to furnish
light by a schedule that would discredit a
country village.
What Maj. Powell most regrets is the
reduction made in the appropriation for
sewers and permit work. These items he
regards as OF more consequence to the city
than any others.
In commenting upon the bin transmitted
to Congress yesterday providing for the
abolition of grade crossings In the District,
reference To which was made in The Even
ing Times, the Commissioners express the
belief that the proposed measure. If adopted
by Congress. ''will tend to solve the problem
which has so long been under discussion
with regard 10 the grade crossings" and

yesterday to A1essrs. Bernard Leonard, W.
W. Hall, Jr., and James Edward, of the
South Washington Citizens Association,
Informing them in response to their in
quiry, that measures have been already
taken for abatlng the nuisance caused by
the James Creek canal, aud they are re-
quested to aid the board in furthering the
legislation to that end. The steps re-
ferred to are in estimating for appropria-
tons for commencing the work on the
Tiber Greek and New Jersey avenue inter
cepting sewers, with authority to con-
tract for its completion, aud the bill pre-
pared by the Commissioners, known as the
sewer bill, and now before Congress, which.

The Information is given that the District
authorities have in support of the measure
the cooperation OF the committee on steam
railwaysof the Washington Board of Trade
President Ross. Of the board, said last
night that the measure does not conflict
with the bill already introduced by Senator
Mcmillan. Both may therefore be adopted.
Mr.. Ross said there seemed to be a neces-
sity for definitely fixing the date when
grade crossings shall be discontinued, and
the details as to how the change shall be
made can be attended to later. or may be
incorporated in the bill with the order
for abolition, as Congress may elect.
NOTICE TO THE RAILROADS.
The tangible thing about the enactment
proposed by the board, in the estimation OF
President Ross, is that the railroads are
given to understand Just what they viii
have to do and when it is TO be done. and
their engineers can be heard later on as
to the methods.
The bill provides that grade crossings
shall be abolished in the year 1900, or
before.
