results of this idea as they have inn

the individuals who have made the.
pledge and honestly tried to be true to
it. Those results are, as 7 have said. n
part OF individual history and cannot
be told in detail. Some OF them / can
give you, so that, you may see,that this
form Of discipleship is not merely SEN
timeIt or fine posing for effect.
''For instance, take the case of Alex
ander Powers. who was superintendent
of the machine shops of tho L. and r.
x. r: here. When ho acted upon tho
evidence that incriminated the road. he
lost his position, and more than that.

nrd social relations have become so
changed that the family no longer ap-

were SO prominent. By the way, Cax-
ton. understand in this connection
that the commission, fer one reason
and another. postponed action on this
case. and it is now rumored. that the
L. and 7. r. r. will pass into @ receiv-
I Ell s hands very soon. The president of
the road. who, according TO the cvi-
dence submitted by Powers. was the
! principal offender, has resigned. and
J complications which have arisen since
point to the reccivership. Meanwhile
, the superintendent has gone baci: to lis

of the first century. when the disciples
had all things in common.

so far above the ordinary conception Of
a daily paper that am amazed at the
result He tells me that the paper Is
beginning to be read more and more by
the Christian people Of the city. He is
very confident of its final success

election in Raymond. when the question
or license will again be an issue. Both
PARTICLES are Of the best from this point
Of view. He says he never begins an
editorial or in fact any part Of his
newspaper work without first asking,

certainly apparent.
Then there is Milton Wright. the
merchant. He has, I am told, so revo.

During the winter, while he was lying
