GREATER NEW YORK.
AN ERA IN THE HISTORY OF
THE METROPOLIS.
Uo0pletton OF the New York CentFArs

New York, Feb. s, 1ss7.-One of the
most remarkable feats Of engineering
on record is nearing completion, and.
beginning Thursday Feb. II, the pas
sen8er entering New York from the
north will ride over one Of the grand
est examples Of steel railway construc-
don yet accomplished in this age Of
marvellous results in that direction.
Going south at 18th street, the tracks
Of the New York Central begin to rise
gradually, and at 135th street they
cross the Harlem river on the new
four-track steel draw-bridge, at an ele-
walton Of "a feet above high tide.
This massive structure is remarka-
bic in being the first four-track draw
bridge ever constructed, and is the
largest bridge Of the kind in the world.
It is 400 feet long and weighs $500
tons. The draw-bridge is So feet 6
inches wide, from center to center of

A VANISHED CIVILIZATION.

Work Done by tho Jesuits In South
America.
The pioneers Of civilization in South
America we're the Jesuits, says Lippir-
colts. Although their influence in
many respects may not always have
been what was most conducive to the
prosperity of the new settlement, yet
their mode of treating the natives was
more humane and their plan for the
development and progress Of the coun-
try more advanced than any other at
tempts Of that period. They sought to
establish a permanent home for their
sect with a wealth and splendor that
would equal that Of the old world and
their work was characterized By pru-
dence. industry and wisdom. Other
settlers came only as fortune hunting
adventures to enslave the natives. pil-
lage the country and then return to
their own land with ill-gotten gains.
Monuments Of the Jesuits still remain
In churches, aqueducts, cities in ruins

Sions: from the Amazon to Bras,l's

have that fullness and perfection of
love which 10 demanded here! Those
who most strenuously insist that they
are fully saved, yea, sanctified, often
have their least of this Christlike
love for men. Millions of nominal
Christians are saying that their
neighbors who have died have in
CURED the endless wrath of God, that
they are to be tormented forever
because they neglected or refused to
believe in particular view of Christ's
atonement before they died. Have
such men this love for their neighbors
which Christ's law requiresi Can a
man love his neighbor as he loves
himself, and still believe that while
he is himself bound for heaven that
his beloved neighbor has gone to an
endless helli Can love bear an end
less separation and still be happy?
Can a man who loves his neighbor as
he loves himself, love God with all
his heart, and soul, and mind, while
he believes that self-same God will
torment his neighbor in hell forevers
Can a man love God if he thinks God
will send him to an endless hell?
Then how can he love God if he will
serve as badly the neighbor whose
comfort and peace and salvation are
just as dear to him as his own?
In closing, l wish to remind you
that this law is not simply means
to an end, that may be dispensed with
when the end is attained. We do
not obey this law in order to go on
and attain eternal life, leaving the law
behind. For obedience to this law is
life eternal. If we cease from our
obedience to it we lose this highest
form of life.
So, if we look upon obedience to
this law as bridge by which we cross
the chasm of divine wrath and reach
the heavenly city, we are cherishing
a false conception. 1t isn't bridge,
for there isn't any such chasm. 1t is
the heavenly city itself. You are al
ready past the gates of pearl. You
are even now within the jasper walls.
pacing the streets of gold; and in
order to remain you must continue to
love as Jesus loved.
There is no heaven of idleness or
selfishness where you will be exempt
from obedience to this highest law of
life and love.
If you desire salvation; if you long
for peace and rest; if your heart
yearns for happiness; if you want to
be in heaven; obey the great COM
mandment: "Love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind; and thy
neighbor as myself"
