A subject Of great public Importance

A moving platform from Bowling
Green to the new Williamsburg bridge is
one of the probabilities of intermural
transportation in New York. This plan
of transit, although never before used for
the purpose for which is is now suggest
ed. is perfectly practicable and means the
solution, in a great measure, of the con-
gested condition of traffic down town;
that is, if the city takes kindly TO the
idea of giving the grant for the building
of the subway from Bowling Green
across the new Williamsburg bridge. Be
sides, it is proposed to charge but . cents
fare from Bowling Green to Williams
burg. and the proposed road tapping the
entrances of the Brooklyn and Manhat-
tan bridges will be a desirable adjunct
to the city's transit.

the city of Rome.
II. Paul at Rome.-In Paul's
presence at Rome we find the cul-

Though bound with chains, he was
enabled to testify for the Lord Jesus
Christ, and in his constant activity
we see the manifestation of the true
missionary spirit.

John Wesley's Quarrel.

John Wesley once had a disagree
ment with Joseph Bradford, his
travelling companion of many years,
and they agreed to part. They re-
tired for the night, each firm in his
determination, and each doubtless
deploring in his heart the separation
soon to follow between two friends
who had been so devoted and mutual
ly helpful. In the morning Wesley
asked Bradford if he had considered
during the night their agreement to
part.
eyes, SIR" said Mr.. Bradford.
"And must we partw inquired
Wesley.
"Please yourself, SIR" said Brad
ford, grimly.
"But you will not ask my pardon"
demanded Wesley.
"No, sir"
"You won't?"
"No, sir"
"In that case," said Wesley, gent
ly, II must ask yours"
It was not the ending which Brad
ford had anticipated. A moment
he hesitated, and then, breaking in
to tears, he followed Wesley's ex-
ample, and forgave and was for
given.
1t might almost be laid down as
a safe rule where there has been a
quarrel: eff the other man will not
ask your forgiveness, ask his" 1t
is frequently astonishing to find that
the other man also has a grievance,
real or imaginary; and it is beauti-
full to see how often he will forget
it if the first concession is made to
him.
We pray, "Forgive us our debts, as
we forgive u Debtors" but many a
man remains unfOrgiven because he
is unforgiving. Life is too short and
friends are too precious to justify
one in cherishing anger or resent
ment. Even if the wrong appears
to us to be wholly on the other side,
something may be conceded for loves
sake.
It is Christ's teaching hat the
man who brings his offering to God
and remembers that his brother hath
aught against him shall leave his
gift before the altar, and go and be
reconciled to his brother, and then
| offer his oft. Worship of God is SC
Joined to love toward men that the
forgiving man is sure to be the for
given man.-The Youths Compan-
