pose that Mary was destitute. 1t is
! likely that she would have been happier
in Johns home than in the home of a
daughter-in-law or of a son-in-law.
Christ's fourth word was Il thirst" He
did not thirst for water, wine. vinegar.
He had spiritual thirst. He refused the
offered drink. The spiritual inflow of
/, divine strength stopped. Then he felt
the awful thirst for the water of life.
He was growing weak, and needed re-
freshment, but 1t did not come to him.
Then there arose from the loneliest
soul in the universe the exclamation that
God had forsaken him. This was his
fifth word. He did not feel the divine
presence He sank into the black
depths of desolation of soul. His sixth
word was a shout of triumph: III Is
finished" He had kept Gods Will ana
done his work. He had planted the
seeds of the new dispensation. He hao
given the divinest example. His gos-
pei would yet win the hearts and con-
sciences of the race. His seventh woro
was the declaration of his inferiorlty 10
God, and of his absolute trust IN MS
father. His death was moral, reiiglous
and glorious. 1t was human, ana IL was
divine. The Roman centurion, VINO wor-
shiped the gods of Rome, regarded the
death of Christ as the death OF goa
son, and of a divine, virtuous man.
Christ's death should inspire the
churches to abandon all their selnsn
schemes of salvation and to preacn
Christ's unselfish gospel whicn ne
brought from heaven. The last woros
of men are solemn, serious ana sug-
gestive. Death approaches and brings
them face to face with eternal realties.
Truth is then spoken, but no pretense
nor living is uttered. Christ's last words
are solemn and suggestive. They have
moral and spiritual meanings. On the
cross he never mentioned one of the
nrominent doctrines of orthodoxy-the
fall of man, inherited sin, total deprav-
itv eternal hell, vicarious suffering.
He attended to the discharge of three du-
ties. He forgave his enemies. he COM
forted the penitent thief. he provided for
his mother. Then he passed through
his last two trials, hunger for the
water of life and the feellng
that God had forsaken him. Then
he realized his grand victories, and'
with the shout of a conqueror he breath
ed his ghost into the hands of God. He
had assembled the seven steps into the
invisible temple of eternal life. His de-
parture was like the setting sun. HIS
smile of victory flashed glory over the
world he was leaving. and communi-
Gated inspiration to the cross-bearing

Y. M. C. Association.

Rev. H. S. Ferrand, pastor of the Boyle
Heights Presbyterian church, addressed
the meeting at o'clock yesterday after
noon. He based his remarks upon the
incident of the healing of the paralytic
recorded in the second chapter of Marks
gospel. He said in part: Had 1t not
been for an association of four men to-
gether, there would not have been this
incident to record. There are three par
ties mentioned in 1t as you readily notice
The four men, the paralytic, and Christ.
All we know of these men is that they
opened the roof of the house and let the
sick man through. 1t was the only way
they could get him to the Savior, and
they did it, They had some special rea-
son for bringing the man there; they
believed that Christ would heal him II
they could only get him where Christ
was He saw their faith and honored
it. Their faith and works wrought to-
gether
Some times Jesus waits before He an
swers our prayers to see If we really
have any faith in Him or not. You re-
member the Syro- -Phoenician woman
who came to Him about her daughter. He
did not at once answer her petition, but
He tested her faith, and when He saw
how great it was He healed her daugh-
ter. We must learn that we cannot do
better for any one than to bring them
to Christ. We cannot heal those who are
paralyzed with sin, but Christ is able
and willing to heal them. Nothing can
give US so much satisfaction as to know
that some soul we have brought to Christ
has been made whole.

There were special services at many
of the churches yesterday appropriate
to Palm Sunday, and at all of them the
audiences were large. AT neither the
cathedral nor st. Vincent's was there
any sermon, but mass was celebrated at
both with all solemnity and attendant
ceremonials. The significance of Palm
Sunday was fully explained and the
congregations were enjoined to observe
the sacred spirit of Holy Week.
At St Vincent's the services began at
10 o'clock with the blessing Of the palms,

tributed through the church. The music
as ST. vincent's was especially elaborate.

by the Revs. F. X Antill, NJ. J. Richard
son and j. McCabe, and Haydn's Mass
in C' was rendered with fine effect by
the choir, the soloists being Herr and
Mime. Rubo, Mines. Josefa Tolhurst,
Collette and A. ott-Chapman, Messrs.
M. Mertens and F. H. Lockyer. For the
offertory Joseph F. Nuene sang the Gu
jus Amman" from Rossini's "Stabat
Mater" and Herr Josef Rubo's rich barry
tone sounded at its best in Faure's
Palms for the benedictus.
At st. Pauls the Rev John Gray's text
for the morning sermon was THE Fail
ure of the Multitude to Discover Essen
tial Truth"
At Christ church the Rev. Alfred
Clark preached on 1.-THE Savior of the

univeralist Church.

At Caledonia hall the pastor. Rev. A.
A, Rice, discoursed on "A powerful
Theology" from Matth. xiii-13 THE
kingdom Of heaven is like unto leaven
which the woman took and hid in three
measures of meal till it was all leaven-
ed" Briefly he said: The kingdom OF
heaven ie the doctrine of the Fatherhood
of God and attendant minor doctrines
with consequent life for mankind.
The idea of fatherhood is today hid
in the wonderful ENHANCEMENT OF dog
mas in modern orthodoxy, in the sweep
ing denials of extreme Christian radical
ism and even behind the doctrine of uni
versal salvation which we preach side
by side with Gods love. Because this
most powerful of all truths has been hid
in the world, it shall remain till all Is
| leavened.
A theology built around the word
father finds no equal in power and goes
steadily on to victory. 1t shall be known
in its fruits, not in the outward growth
of euch a church as espouses it's cause,
| the visible success of the mission of such
body, or the financial condition which
adheres to every institution, but in the
| direct influence it has on the character
and life of men of all classes everywhere.
The fact appears that non-professors
| of Christianity are as ready to ratify
| noble enterprises as those who are
| Christian in name. The power Of such
theology is alec seen in that it develops
the latent forces of humanity, being the
only motive that touches the well-spring
Of character, looking outward to gener-
osity and life and not inwardly to self
ishness and death. In spite of all OBJ
stacles, this theology of heart ehal;
! leaven the world.

Economic Questions Dis
Cussed Openly
BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
THE LIBRARY PROMISES TO BE A
VALUABLE AID
Weekly Review Of City and General
Labor News-An Argument on
the Competitive System

The open meeting Of the Trades Coun-
Gil on Friday evening proved an inter-
esting affair. There was free inter-
change of feeling on economic questions
and the debate was quite animated.
Fred Render Of the Cornice Workers
union presided.
The library committee reported re-
sponses from twenty-five letters which
had been mailed to the different trade
journals. The council in the near future
will certainly have a large collection
of select reading matter of interest to
all unionists.
A. G. Siebert, of the Bricklayers'
union, thought the idea Of a library
where the man with leisure could come
and spend his time and make study OF
his trade was excellent, and would be
productive of much good. Mr.. Siebert
enlarged upon the competitive system.
He thought it was the duty of all work
ingmen to study the great questions OF
the day. AS labor is the creator of all
wealth, he believed 1t should have its
Just share in the enjoyment of the
same.
s. E. Rude also spoke of the COM
petitive system. He illustrated his
speech by pointing to Rockefeller, whose
income was $40 a minute. What, he
asked, has brought about this great in
equality between the rich and the poor
Was it not bad legislation and the pro-
lection of trusts and combines by the
law? Does Rockefeller, with his mil
lions work as hard and produce as much
as 25, 900 workingmen who are represent
cd nv his immense income?
H. E. Dewey thought one trouble was
owing to the low dues paid to unions
by workingmen. He thought the high
er the dues the more benefit to organized
labor.
Henry Hines followed in opposition to
the competitive system. as did Mr..
Grundt, who believed that if labor was
united it could enforce its demands.
One speaker said that he had read q
letter from Mr.. Scott, of the San Fran
cisco iron works. in which it was stated
that there was no desire on his part to
employ cheap labor; that he had not
intended to employ Japanese labor, and
that when laboring men got through
chasing myths" 1t would be better for
them. Mr.. Healey contended that when
selfishness was eradicated then perhaps
the competitive system would be eradi-
Gated.
A. Hetherington thought that as long
as the contract system existed there
would be competition. If that could be
obliterated it would be step in the
right direction.
Harry Casten called attention to the
necessity for organization and increas-
ing the membership of trade unions. He
also pointed out the good results flowing
from organization. Hardly law now
on the statute books in the different
states of the Union for the benefit OF
labor that had not been placed there
through the efforts of organized labor,
notably, the Australian ballot and other
enactments that had been passed for
bettering the condition of workingmen.
without concentration and organiza-
ton these laws never would have been
adopted.
All in all, the open meeting was sue
cess, and the courcil adjourned at
late hour.

UNITY CHURCH.
The Seven Last Words of Christ Upon
the Cross.

The pastor, J. S. Thomson, preached
a sermon on THE Seven Last Words of
Christ Upon the Cross" using the two
texts, "Truly this man was a gods son"
Mark 1888, and Really this man was
virtuous. Luke 23:47.
Christ taught that we should love,
pray for and forgive our enemies, and
on the cross he kept his own doctrine,
when his brutal executioners were
causing him the greatest torture. His
first word on the cross was the sub
limest petition that ever rose to heaven
from human lips. He prayed that his
murderers might be forgiven on account
Of their ignorance. God surely heard
and answered that prayer. If they
were forgiven at Christs request, then
II follows that men can be forgiven
without knowing Christ, without un
derstanding his gospel. without feeling
the sinfulness of their evil deeds, and
without repentance.
Paradise is not heaven. 1t is a part
of the intermediate state; and purga-
tory is another part of the same state
of conscious existence. Peter said that
David had not ascended into heaven.
and that Christ, after his death, had gone
into Hades to preach the gospel. The
dead Samuel told King Saul that he
would be with him the next day in the
under world. Christ's second word was
the assertion that the penitent thief
would be with him in paradise. The
thief's repentance was sufficient. Christ
did not say that he was suffering for the
crimes of the thief. The thief suffered
death for his own sins. Christ did not
send the other thief to hell. He did not
realize the sinfulness of his bad deeds.
He had little sense of morality and re-
ligion. He needed to go to purgatory to
be purified, and to learn lessons of re-
ligion and morality. Christ's third
word was his will in favor of his mother.
He taught that children should honor
their parents, and provide for them.
John was to take her to his own home.
Her other children did not provide for
her. Christ did not wear the clothes of
a beggar, nor did he die a beggar. He
taught his disciples to give aims to the
poor, but he did not teach them to be
beggars, and it is not necessary to sup

Must Not Neglect Poultry.

 Neglected poultry, like neglected
 |cows, will not be profitable. We must
 shave a system about the work, and
 hot overlook the matter. An impor- Rant item Tn this respect is regu-
 Rarity in feeding. Have regular hours.
 Fowls look for their feed at certain Itime, and will become fretful and Eworry if it is not given them. Set
 Sapart time for all things; astime to
 Heed. time to water, time to clean |the roosts, time to preform all the chores; many of which, while they l may be sighted for while without Eany serious effect, Swould eventually
 tell in a manner that might be costly. Being mindful of the little things makes one competent to master large matters. What is worth doing at all
 is worth doing we'll. A careful, ener- |getc business man is the onei who makes business profitable. So with the pouilry hdh. "e ha'o P"~
 |age when it was thought poultry could best help themselves, and that to have the bird roost... outdoors was the only way to have hardy stock. In domestication we shave more than trebed the egg yield of poultry. All birds in a wild state are but ordinary
 layers Domestication means the best of housing. the best of feed. and the best of care.
