l'he cross, the beam itself. was not

In the largest sense. thu, cross is not only the revelation of tlfe fact af Gods willingness to for give man and the revelation of the character Of Jesus. hut may. move. it is the medium through which. not the wrath of God. but his holiness ahti divine justice j;is;ttiit..e may he sat!see.. and at the same time justify him that hath faith in Jesus.
 From the true spiritual cross. which the actual cross symbolized. springs the vindication of Divine justice, the manifestations of | Heavens deepest and purest love.

A SUNDAY SERMON.
Delivered by Rev F. B. sapp, of
the Christian Church.

hA'N V CfAA AoNAteAA MI 0ANds
 The following is sermon which which was delivered last Sunday by Rev. F. F. Sapp, of the Christian Church;
 "Be 1t far from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ through which the world hath been erueihed unto me and I unto the world -Gal 6:l4.
 The occasion and purpose of PaHGs letter 10 the churches of tiaIatia was to overcome the infln- en"e of certain Unlocking teachers who ware mistaken respecting the relation of ludeism 10 Christi anity. He did this by first vindieat- ing his divine call to the ministry and second by his strong reasoning powers sanctificd by Inc Holy Spirit argued that salvation was by faith in Christ and not by the law, the keeping of circumcision or the per formance of any legal rights or ccre- monies.
 Paul as q rigid pharisee had tried all of these and found them made quate to meet or satisfy the needs of the soul. His own experiences had led him to that point where he could fully realize the utter hopelcssness of man apart from Christ and the virtue of the cross to merit salvation by his own works.
 My text contains two lending thoughts. The first is implied by the affirmation ofthe,seeond. Under the head of those thing that pertain too often to sell glory may come:
 First. Worldly pleasure:
 The Epicurian. and he is with us today, said, "letu IFS eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. !" He ever continued to sow the wind and reap the whirl vind Like tie Russian wolf seeking his prey, he will venture to siege the lamb or kid that IS tied near the hut where the hunter is concealed to fire the deadly shot, and even though great numbers of his companions may be thns killed he will continue his mad pursuit to satisfy his appetite at the expense of hislie. Often have we seen the lives of promising young men wrecked in chasing the delusiye sirene of pleas- urc until their fortunes have bren wasted, their families disgraced, their intellectual and moral powers dcbauched, their self respect gone nothing left but shifting wreck floating on the drift of tlme. Their wills have become passive to out ward circumstances. That self-di- recting moral power that God has given every man ltas gone and all Is vanity and vexatioH of spirit Again, there are those who are ,ess sensual who set their iisfiits upon the acumnlation Of money and property, and delnde themselves and try to soothe their conscicrces with 1 iiie old war maxim that k only half true, that the end justifies the means
 They talk about their philanthro- phic schemes tosoinyest their money as to bless humanity after they have gone. To such s'the love of money becomes the root of all evil.
 We often hear of such . mans generons will, when in fact. it is only q libel for his epitaph. He is ! like the drowning man who in the ]! jaws of death. lets go the floating Iboard becausc his life is too far spent to recover himself such q mum need not expec. anS reward from God ' lsis me has been spent

THE TRACK
Southern Pacific Passenger Train
Wrecked by the Breaking Of
q Rail at q Switch
NeQr MADEIRA.

FRESNO. Dec. 21.-Train No. GA, the
tween this city and Oakland, was de-
rallied this morning at $50 o'clock near
the Irrigosa switch, about eight miles
this side of MADEIRA, and it was a mir
acle that the accident was not accom-
panied by great loss of life. AS it was
not a person was hurt, although the
wreck was one of the most serious that
has ever occurred in the San Joaquin
valley.
The train left Fresno this morning
at $50 o'clock, on schedule time. 1t
consisted Of the engine, baggage car,
smoker and coach, and was in charge
of Conductor Collins and Engineer
Gray. There were about fifteen pas
sengers aboard. all from this city.
Owing to a leaky engine on the Sunset
Limited, which came through at 4
o'clock, the regular locomotive for the
local had been transferred to that train
and No. GA was sent out with a heavy
freight engine, No. 1719, in its place.
The train was going at the rate of
about thirty-fve miles an hour when
the accident occurred. about 900 yards
north of the switch at Irrigosa- A rail
gave way under the drive wheels Of the
heavy locomotive. causing them to
leave the track.

been poorly supported at the end by
| two rotten ties. The break occurred
| about four feet from the end of the
rail. The metal of the lower part of the
! fracture was clear and bright, but the
upper portion of the rail was coated
with rust, showing that 1t had been
previously cracked.
AS soon as he felt that the drive
wheels were off the track the engineer
applied the air brakes, but they
plowed into the ties for the distance of
about 200 yards before he could bring
| the train to a stop. The wheels of the
cars left the rails and ran on the ties,
cutting deep burrows in them By the
| time the train came to a standStill the
tender was capsiZed and dragging on
! its side. 1t was badly demolished. The
engine remained upright, slanted across
the grade, on the point of overturning.
| The baggage car was nearly upon its
side. and the smoker was tilted at an
angle of about 10 degrees. The last
coach remained upright with the front
trucks on the ties but the rear wheels
still on the rails.
What prevented an awful disaster, in
which the cars would have piled upon
one another with terrible loss OF life
and limb, was the fact that the forward
| trucks of the locomotive remained upon
the track. Had these left the rails the
engine would have torn it's way down
the embankment, carrying with 1t its

connected with the visit there of the
British warship Daphne about a week
ago.
AS proof Of it, it points out that
there was neither a Russian ship nor
a Russian consul at Port Arthur at the
time the Daphne visited the harbor,

Great Britain intends to oppose the
division of China without consulting
her. 1t is reported here that Russia
has offered China a loan to pay off the

it is believed, says the dispatch, that
Japan and England are acting in con-
cert to preserve China from disinte-
grafton, favoring the idea of a protec-
torate over Central China, with a
capital at Marking.
A German-Chinese commission has
been arranged, according to a dis
patch from Shanghai to the Daily
Mail, to settle the boundaries of the
occupied district at Kiao Chau, and it
is evident, therefore, that the occupa-
tion will be permanent. The same dis
