CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
The First Sermon of the New Pastor,
the Rev. J. R. Jones

At the Central Presbyterian church
yesterday Rev. j. r. Jones preached his
initial sermon from the text John, X:10},
Il am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abund-
antlyf' He said in part:
"Many- is the idea of that which
Christ does for the soul To him who is
wearied of the stern struggle for exist

questions of the soul's relation to God.

be still;" upon him who in the darkness
is as the child crying in the night ana
with no language but a cry" he flashes
the light of his presence: to him who
hungers and thirsts after Righteousness
he is the bread and water Of life. No
need, however deep, no righteous desire.
however weak, no struggle upward,
however feeble, but he reaches the hand
of sympathy and helpfulness.
Christ gives to man primarily life and
all the blessings Of Christianity flow
from this life. Life and immortality are
brought to light throgh the gospel. I'M
mortality is not gift by virtue of
Christs life or death, but by reason Of
Christs dictatorship; it is the inalienabla
birthriSht of the soul; it is the mark of
Gods ownership. We shall live beyond
the grave because we are created in the

image of God-it is a natural endowment
of the soul. No existence ends at death
The man passes to life of blessedness
or of misery.
But we fail to grasp the full meaning
of Christianity if we lay stress on the
life to come at the expense of the life
that now is. Christianity is no day
dream-it is actual living. 1t gives
strength to the arm, clearness to the
eye, iron to the blood, brilliancy to the
brain. 1t endows manhood with all vital
energies.
Pagan arms exalt the warrior Brutus
falling on his sword, earthly wisdom ap-
plauds the noble Socrates drinking the
death cup, but for the Christian the su-
preme example must be Jesus Christ,
who lived to teach us the fine art of liv-
ing, and died that we might have life
and might have it more abundantly."

UNIVERSALIST CHURCH
The Gospel of Christ Without Pagan
Garb

| Rev. L. NJ. Andrews of Santa Paula
spoke yesterday in the Universalist
church on THE Gospel of Christ With
out Pagan Garb," finding his text in
Mark t.. Is: Repent We and believe the
Gospel" In brief, he said:
1T is not strange that the half-con-
verted Christian fathers of the third
fourth and fifth centuries should retain
much of paganism in their creeds and
forms of worship for they were born and
reared with those ideas, and an imperial
proclamation could not very thoroughly
convert them. But the high tides of
modern thought have lifted the Chris
tian world off those old pagan sand
bars, and the myths are swept away.
I'VE come, then. back to the plain New
Testament for the Gospel. We find that
our Savior presented it as a science, as
thoroughly classified as is geometry
based on aXioms. postulates and five
books. The first was Introductory to
spiritual manhood. The kingdom of
heaven is at hand, not distant dream
but here; not in boundaries, but in you.
The second is Fundamental Gospel-the
Sermon on the Mount The keynote of
the first chapter is the nine beatitudes;
of the second chapter is the Lords Pray
er, or worship; of the third the Golden
Rule, mans moral duties, his system of
government.
This sermon declares Gods father
hood seventeen times; defines manhood
above the brute creation, and makes
the gauge of duty and justice. The third
book is the school of the kingdom, teach
ing what heaven is like, in twelve para
bles. The fourth book advances into the
kingdom by the new birth of the spirit.
The fifth books is the gospel of immor-
tality"

Good Words For Arizona

Leo Won Rosenberg of New York has
Just returned from a visit to Prescott,
Arz., to examine mine in that district
for New York company, says the Phoe-
nix Republican. Arizona is destined to
become a good mining state" said he.
"The mines are located from twenty to
forty miles south of Prescott and are all
working and turning out large quanti-
ties of ore. l was in the district three
weeks, but the weather was so bad tha t
l could not get over the district as much
as l would have liked. Some of the
time the thermometer was 10 degrees
below, and / lost so much time on ac-
count of the weather that I could do lit
tie more than the work l was sent to
perform. One of the principal mines in
the district is the Congress, which is
really a great mine and employs a large
force of men. The mines that l saw are
all good and if some of them were in Col
orado they would be held at much higher
figures than they are. Everywhere that
| went saw indications of great activity
in mining and I think that the present
year will develop some extraordinary
developments in the territory"

A Lively Mining Town
Mines at Home

There are in most of the mining coun-
ties of this state several hundred or
more prospects" which only need some
money put into development work to
be turned into mines. Some of these
would pay handsome profits and others
would be without value No man, how
ever, can look into the ground far enough
to tell In advance what kind of a mine
it will be. There Is the same kind of
a chance in this as in any other busi-
ness. These chances have been taken
by the men who now own the rich and
paying mines all over the country. There
is much less of, gamble in trying to
develop to a profitable point one of
these known mines than in going to
the crowded Klondike creeks to find an
INDICATED claim. If those with money
would only seek out and inquire into the
conditions and start work on per cent
of the prospects in this state our gold
yield would be increased % per cent
yearly. These claims need work done
upon them and need hoists, pumps. mills,
ETC., to bring them to a paying basis. The
ordinary common every day miners who
own these claims have no capital to put
them in shape. 1t is the men with
capital who must be depended on to fur
nish the money and take the chances OF
the profit or the loss. There is plenty
of money in the cities, lying idle. which
could be put to good industrial use in
the direction indicated. These mines or
prospects are close at home, in a coun-
try where there is good climate, plenty
of food, good means of communication.

THE LORDS ALMONERS
Rev. David Walk at the Church of
Christ

| Rev. David Walk yesterday in the
church of Christ read John VILLA, con-
| tanning the account of the feeding of
| 5000 with five loaVes and two fishes. Mr..
Walk said in part: THE Importance and
| significance of this incident is seen in
the fact that it is recorded by all four oa
| the evangelists. OF course it is mira
Gle, and men who do not believe in mira
cles will at once reject the story as in
credible and absurd. With such we have
no controversy today. We believe that
the God whom we serve, and whose we
are, can work miracles.
Feeling our utter need and dependence
and realizing that even the insignificant
store in sight is not ours to command,
we must be careful not to set aside faith
in God, nor to disregard the multitude
of unseen spiritual agencies which he
controls and which he can and will eXer.
in our behalf The apostles themselves
furnish a striking illustration of this
great underlying principle which gov
erns in the kingdom of God.
Like the disciples of the narrative,
we may not have a single loaf or fish in
hand, but if we are such as God can use,
if we are willing to become his almoners
he can and will supply our need
Either this is true or the incident is
without meaning or application so far as
we are concerned.
What, now, are some of the unseen
and too often unrecognized agencies at
work with us? % The power of faith.
t2) The assured ultimate triumph Of
truth. CD The charm of the simple gos-
pei. t4) The presence of the Holy Spirit.
1t may he stated as a comprehensive and
unfailing truth that where there is faith
there "an be no failure. Let us hold moth
ing over for next year, but whatever we
can usa today we should use today.

that Of the gravel mines. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that no other portion of the
world of equal area has produced as
much gold during the past forty-nine
years as has Nevada county, no other
section offers so many inducements to-
day for the safe and remunerative in
vestment of capital in mining.

Cure for Cheap Cotton.

Repeal the law in all the South.

the effect will be threefold. First,
it will greatly diminish the amount
of cotton raised. Second it VII

in an increase L. the price OF cot
ton, so that there would be pro-
fit in raising it to the farmer. who
IS not forced to raise it to obtain
a ruinous credit.
1t may be said that the COM
mercial classes would oppose the
repeal of the law. Why would
they want to retain law that
does them very little good under
present conditions, and which is
rulnous to so large class of their
customers? We do not think
law is anacted for the exclusive
good of one class; but on the
contrary when a law, although
intended to protect one class, be-
comes oppressive to another and
the larger class, it ought to be
repealed.
A repeal of this law would not
injure the merchant because he
could easily look to other securi-
ties for his advances. Merchants
in other countries thrive.
