and orders then very soon from him
will be taken even that which he
seemed to have. Now, we do not own
our bodies-these engines. We are the
engineers, but not the owners. My
body Is mine only in relative sense.
I am to give account for 1t. You say,
"May not man do what he will with
his own?' Certainly. II you own any
thing. What is the engine for? TO
look at? No, for use. Is 1t made to
be destroyed? If so 1t might just as
we'll be made of wood and paint or a
chrome engine. Some men are such
they look like the real thing, but they
do not act like 1t. You have seen
model engine under glass case; that
you wind up. The wheels go. but the
engine does not. The wheels work
easily because they don't touch the
track. I have seen some men and l
suppose there are some women, who
are wound up with keys. The wheels
buzz, but there is nothing done. There
are people who sit in theatre, and the
tears run down their checks, and they
think they are good because they can
cry. They pay $3.50 for the privilege
of weeping. We all know how we
smooth ourselves when tear comes.
We feel penitent and say, 1--WE are
not so bad ms we thought 1t Is a toy
engine, the wheels 20, but 1t does not
advance. A perfect engine Is meant
to do something in the world. and so
are we II coupled to the task that God
gives us. Some people don't want to
pull they want to be pulled. You
always see dead engine in the middle
of a train. Which end of the train
do YOU like, the front or somewhere
in the middle? God give us the front,
with all its dangers and perils and
Joys.
Perfect engines get hold of the track.
Orders come with lightning rapidity
to the engineer, and they must he
obpyed without question. The respon-
sibility for the orders Is not with him,
his responsibility is to execute them.
Gsd can run this world, but He has
put it into your hands to run your
self. When you stop ut the end of the
road you can be perfectly certain that
IL the passengers are too busy to take
notice Of you, you will not be forgotten
by the manager. Well, have mixed
IT. The engineer and the engine to-
gether-that is the way we are. We
are the engines? Yes. We are engi-
neers? Yes. said at the outset. "iou
preach the sermon" l think there is
n great analogy in 1t. I think there
is a living parable for those who have
eyes and ears. Responsibility Yes,
lots of it. But, then, who will shrk
that? Danger? Plenty, but you arc

engine is worn out, you will get a

Railway Accidents.

Railway experts are continually
seeking means to avoid accidents by
insuring thoroughness of construction
A device just coming into use on the
English railways is screw used for
fastening the rails to the ties. These
are supposed to be screwed home with
a spanner, but the workmen were &C.
customed to hammering them home,
saving labor, but decreasing the eili.
cheney of the screw. Now screws are
made capped by cone OF soft metal
Two or three blows Of hammer will
flatten this cone and result in the de-
lection of the careless employe.-New

Pearls Found In Cocoanuts.

pearls are not found in oysters
alone. Sometimes" says lapidary,
they are found in cocoanuts.
81 once cut cocoanut pearl. 1t
was the size of pea, and its quality
was good. 1t resembled an oyster
pearl, only it was little duller.
"Cocoanut pearls are found in the
heart of the nut. 1t is thought that
they are formed by the hardening of
the nuts flesh. They are, so to speak,
a kind of crystalized tumor or wart
"These pearls are rare. They are
rarer than oyster pearls. They are
also cheaper than oyster pearls, being
less hard and less translucent"

SPENCER COMING TO GEORGIA

President Samuel Spencer, of the
Southern railroad, has written that
he will be glad to appear before
the Georgia railroad commission
sometime in November and be ex-
amined with regard to the South
ern's ownership of the Central of
Georgia railroad.
1t will be remembered that the
Augusta Southern road, through
its counsel Hon. William HI. Elem
ing, filed petition with the com
mission alleging that the Southern
railroad is the real owner of the
Central of Georgia, which fact. it
was alleged, works to the prejudice
of the petitioning road, majority
of the stock of which is owned by
the Southern.
Acting under the instructions
of the commission Secretary George
f. Montgomery wrote to President
Spencer and President Hanson, of
the Central, asking them to appear
before the commission on October
10Th next.
President Spencer has been in
Europe recently and has just re-
turned. On this account, he stated
in the reply received by Secretary
Montgomery yesterday he, would
be unable to comply with the re
quest of the commission on Octo-
| Der 10, but said he would be glad
to do so some day in November.

each tunnel is to be more than a

congested that the surface and
elevated cars have been reinforced
by underground or subway cars,
and even these are not sufficient.
