"Vision and Service" Matthew II.
rs: 1920. "They saw no nan save
Jesus only" Vision is something tC
pray for. Lord, l pray thee, open
his eyes that he may see," prayed Eli
sha, the prophet, for his servant, land
the Lord opened the eyes of the young
man and he saw" Saw God in this
world able to deliver His own against
all human forces.
Elisha's prayer expresses the need
of souls in every age. Sinful man
needs vision of God, of himself, his re-
lations to God and fellow man. Pray
for the "heavenly vision" The need
is not'so much for sight as for true
sight. There is too much short sight
and sharp sight, too little spiritual
vision. One must see true to be true.
All service done il Christ's name,
and for His sake is high and noble.

New York,s Tunnel Roads.

Boston has an underground railway
In operation and New York has con-
tracted to have one completed within
three years. The tunnel, running
the whole length of Manhattan island
with several lateral branches, will ac-
commodate four tracks. The city
win build and own this subway. The
cost of building as agreed upon be-
tween the city and the contractors is
S35, 0O0, 900, and while the city will pay
for and W the properly, il will not
cost the taxpayers a single penny.
The novel scheme OF getting a prop
erty worth $35, 900, 600 for nothing IS
accomplished in this way:-The city
sells its bonds TO raise the amount or
money required to build the tunnel;
it leases the property to the contract
ors for a term of fifty years at such a
rental as pays not only the interest
on the bonds but the bonds them
selves as they mature. The roads in
the meantime will earn the contract
ors a good income above the rental.
