CHRISTIAN
Topic for May 11-Jesus the Living
Bread-John vi, 22-35, 4s-5s.

There Is q story OF a Scotch minister who was
very fond Of talking about the metaphysics Of
the Bible; but the Scotch pronunciation of the
word led an unschooied parishioner to think that
he was talking about the meat and physic'' OF
the Bible.
The parishioners Interpretation was Just. The
Gospel is meat and physic." 1t is curative.
doing away with the old sins that are eating
like cancers; and 1t is strengthening, building
up the enfeebled will into manliness and beauty.
Christ. who is the bread of life. is also the good
physician.
This comparison to bread. brings with Il also
a thought of fullnoss. President Charles Cuth-
bert Hall describes the marvel of food tide up
the Bay OF Fundy: at entered the river bed;
1t filled the empty channel as one fills a pitcher
at the fountain; 1t covered the barren sands with
motion and sparkling life; it lifted the heavy
ships. gave back to them their rights OF buoy
ancy, set them free upon the broad waterway
of worldwide opportunity; it changed the very
face Of the land from sadness and apathy and
dullness to animation and color and glittering
activity" 1t is in that way that Christ comes
into our lives. filling every need. arousing every
power, ~exalting every Joy.
He is the bread OF life. There is a beautiful
legend Of the Christ-child: how He and His
comrades made birds of clay. but their birds
were still clay birds. while His took wings and
new away. This is true OF all that Christ does
or makes-it is instinct with life; and IL we will
receive Him into our hearts dull stagnation and
the Darkness Of death are forever driven out
of our lives.
L have had to confuse comparisons. No one
figure can gather up all that Christ is 10 US
We need at all times to bear in mind all the
promise-symbols He gave US a right to use.
AS Fletcher sang:
He is a path ~ any he ufsIad.
lie Is a robe II any naked be.
II any chance to hunger He is bread.
II any be a bondman He is free:
II any be but weak how strong is He.
10 dead men life he is; 10 sick men health:
TO blind men sight. and TO the needy wealth;
A pleasure without loss, a treasure without
stealth"
But IL is Of no advantage to US that Christ
is the bread Of life If we do not take the bread
and eat IL. The mamma fell from heaven for the
Israelites; but it fell outside the camp, not in
their tents. and they were Obliged 10 20 and
gather IL or do without. The reason why so
many nominal Christians fail TO find in Christ
their bread Of life. the healing Of their sickness.
the satisfaction OF their want. and strength for
their weakness. is because they stand apart
from Him instead Of pressing close to Him. 1t
is as II one should remain outside the dining
room and marvel that he is not fed.

L~OGANSPORT. Ind. May 9.-The trac-
tion fight in Logansport was won by the
McCulloch interests this afternoon when,
at 3 o'clock. Judge Chase. of the Cass Cir
cult Court, dissolved the injunction OF
Fred c. Boyd VS.. the Logansport. Roches-
ter & Northern Traction Company. No
sooner was the decision announced than
the word was passed from the courtroom to
the foremen in charge Of the army OF 300
men. who for days had been awaiting or
ders to go TO work, and in five minutes
Fifth street from Market TO High, and a
portion of High street east, were strewn
with ties and rails which were speedily
spiked together and the tracks laid. The
men laid hold with a willingness and de-
termination that was remarkable. Men and
teams hurried to and fro. almost tumblins
over each other in their efforts to act with
The utmost speed Hundreds of people were
attracted TO the scene and Justify cheered
the men at work. Before shutdown the en-
tire distance from Fifth to Twenty-fourth,
on High street. was covered with track
and the work will be continued day and
night until completed.
In his decision Judge Chase ruled that
the Northern Company had been granted
rights TO use High street two years before
the Boyd company had acquired similar
rights, and that in doing so the latter was
fully aware that the former had been
granted such rights: that the grant to the
Northern Company was a valid contract
and one that the City Council could not
annul except by consent OF the company;
that the action of the Common Council IN
revoking the franchise of the defendant
was void.
The injunction of the city against the
Northern Company was also dissolved,
Judge Chase ruling that Mayor Mckee had
not been empowered by the Common Coun-
Gil to act. The case of Alberta Pilling
against the same defendants was thrown
out of court, Judge Chase declaring that
George Funk. attorney for plaintiff, had
attempted 10 defraud the court. When At
torney Funk arose to defend his position.
Judge Chase, with a wave of his hand, told
him TO keep quiet and that he would not
hear another word from him. In the CASE
of the IOSanspOrt. Rochester s. Northern
VS.. Boyd ct al, defendants asked for a
change Of venue which was granted.
rfre decision of Judge Chase practically
relieves tire situation and is meeting with
popular approval as the people Of LOgans-
port are DISPOSED TO welcome the inter
nrbaps with the sentiment of "the more the
merrier." The anticipated forcible interfer.
ence on the part OF the Boyd people did not
materialize, their men remaining quietly ar
work on the construction of their line on
Erie avenue.

Ruling i'm a wage Scale Case.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, May 9.-Judge Brownlee,
of the Superior Court, to-day. ruled in a
case of interest in labor circles. 1t was
the suit of E. w. Freeman, a printer, VS..
r. L. Williamson, proprietor of the Morn
ing News, of this city. Freeman sued for
recovery of $40 alleged to be due, this
amount being the difference between pay
received by him and the amount estab-
lished by the Typographical Union. Tne
News is a union office. but Freeman, as
was proved, had entered into a contract
to work for $40 per week. Judge BrOwnlee
decided against the plaintiff. holding that
where an employee agrees to work for less
than the scale and accepts payment week
by week such employe is estopped and can
not enforce the union wage scale. Free
man, who was formerly postmaster of Ko-
komo, will enter the State Soldiers Home
at Lafayette next week. He worked sixty
years on a case and is one of the Oldest
