MISS BLODGETT YESTERDAY.
Plead For Definite Surrender of Individual
Will, to the Perfect Will of God.

Miss Blodgett gave yesterday after
neon at the First Presbyterian church the
second lesson of the series on How to
live a victorious Christian life" Having
in the previous one, taught that the
transformed life was Gods work, that
He is the creator of the divine and spirit
ual life as He is of the bodily and ma
terial life, that faith in the crucified
Christ is the first step, that the gift
and abiding presence of the Holy Ghost
is the next, SO in her lesson of yesterday,
she plead for a definite surrender of the
individual will to the perfect will of God.
No written words can reproduce her
fervent. eloquent appeal to the large au-
Gience or earnest women, whose atten-
ticn she held with an almost breathless
interest, that they open the door and
let in the blessed spirit of God, that
Christ might be its master once for ALL
If the body is called the temple of the
Holy Ghost then let Him have sway
over every part Of the house. Let Him
take charge of your social life, of your
reading, your opinions, your spending,
your appetite, your dressing, your speak
ing. Not now and then, not at one time
and not another, but say, II Will sur
~
Him who only knows how to choose the
best for each life, and who alone has
power to bring that thing to pass.
This definite action of will taken, this
firm decision made, in unfaltering belief
chat all things must work together for
good unto them that love God" simply
because He has said it, there may be no
emotion; emotions are nothing, they come
and go; there may be no unusual feel
ing experienced, that is not promised, but
there will be growth, which is the natural
law of life-and the growth will be up
ward and God-ward which is the thing
to be desired.
There is life in a bulb in cellar but
no growth. Taken out of the cellar
planted in the proper soil, watered by
the rain and the dew, fed by the sun
shine we soon see the green shoot, then
bye and bye, the stately lily and after
awhile, there is shed abroad from it the
delicious fragrance.
So with the life, taken out of the dark
confines of self-rooted in Christ, aye fed
by faith in Him, nurtured by the rich in
fiuences of the blessed spirit of God, it
grows day by day into the lovely flower
and man behold it's fragrance AID beauty.

Of the Great Northern and President Harris

trolled by the Northern Securities Company

they have done more than any other one
thing TO develop the Northwest and that the
plans will be interfered with by the creation
of Railroad Commission.

mission created. but prefers that the roads
shall be left free to spend millions in pro-
viding further terminals for the growing
Oriental trade. While making no threats,

ments will probably he decreased II State

object a diversion Of the immense traffic

roads and transpacifc steamers. Tho di-
rect effect Of this fight is to reduce rates

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 2l.--The men who
were engaged in the recent telephone
ST rike are not yet over their troubles.
Nine Of them have been convicted of con-
tempt Of court in the United States Court
for disobeying its injunction and sentenced
for long terms. Last night Thomas Zeig-
Ter, business manager Of the Union and
manager of the strike. and two other Of
the harassing strikers were indicted for
perjury by the Grand Jury in jefferson
parish, in a case which broke the strike.
The telephone company had complained
that its wires were being cut by the strikers
and appealed to the Mayor for protection,
offering a reward Of 81 900 for the capt
ure of any man engaged in wire cutting
The strikers replied that the company
was cutting its own wires so as to inci'e
public sympathy and get the United States
Court to interfere. Finally through
Zeigler they made charges against John
Schultze. who had formerly been a member
Of the union. but had refused TO 60 out on
strike. Two Of the strikers swore that
they had caught Schultze in the act Of
cutting the wires of the company for which
he worked. According to the strikers,

Zeigler furnished the name Of Schultze
to the company and claimed the $1,000
reward.
The case was tried in jefferson. as the
alleged cutting occurred just across the
parish line. II resulted in an acquittal of
Schultz e, and the plain demonstration that
a job had been put up on him by the strikers.
The affair caused such disgust that the ST rike
failed, and the men returned to work
The men concerned were brought before
