TEACHINGS OF ST. PAUL.
Theme of Discourse by Rev. Roland
Cotton Smith.

Rev. Roland Cotton Smith rector of ST.
Johns Protestant Episcopal Church. preach
ed yesterday morning on the practical
teachings OF st. Paul He said in part
IF we are to understand ST. Paul we must
always remember that his thought grew
out of an active life of service. The Paul
who wrote the epistles is the same Paul who
was shipwrecked and imprisoned and who
endured hardships for the cause of Christ.
Paul the teacher Paul the worker. He
kept constantly in mind the needs of men
and the duty of the hour, but he brought
the highest speculation and imagination to
bear upon the affairs of Misrepresentation
that was always practical.
Paul looked upon Christ as the head of
humanity. What Christ is humanity is to
grow into. child is constantly talking
about what he has done, meaning what his
father and mother have done, and we our
selves enter into all the deeds of the mem
bers of our family living and dead. 1t is
not the owner of the yacht Atlantic that
wins the ocean race. but America wins the
race. 1t is not Togo alone, but the Jap
anese people who win the fight. The people
of any state have done what their greatest
men have done. And citizens of the
world we claim the great men of the world
of all time and all places AS a result we
are growing up into the measure of the
stature of their fullness And in that way
humanity enters into the head of humanity
which is Christ and thus becomes one with
God. Humanity is holy because Christ is
holy. Humanity Is divine because Christ is
divine
There a great many forces in this
world which are in one way useless until
we come to Il realization that they are
here Electricity has always been about us
and within us, but 1t was necessary to have
that fact revealed to us before we could
make use of it, The life of Christ has al
ways been about and within men from the
foundation of the world, but it was neces-
sary for Jesus to reveal that fact, to show
men what they were, before they could be-
gin to use that truth and grow into their
highest selves. Man is in the image of God;
he is a child of God; he can be like Christ"

OFFICER COMMENDED.
Arrest Of Man for Throwing Banana
Peel in the Street.

Arrest Of Man for Throwing Banana
Peel in the Street.
The bringing into the Police Court Of
man for throwing banana peel on the side
walk was the cause of some commendatory
remarks by Judge Kimball this morning.
He found the prisoner guilty of violating
the police regulations. and for the offense
the prisoner will spend the next fifteen days
on the farm.
officer Boyle stated that the throwing Of
banana peels on the street on 7th street,
where he does duty, is a frequent occur
renee and in order to do something to
break up the nuisance he determined to
make arrests for it. Saturday evening he
saw Christie Johnson, colored, purchase
some bananas, and soon after the sidewalk
about him was used as q garbage can for
the peels. officer Boyle irnmedia tely arrest
ed Johnson and he was brought into the
Police Court today.
II am glad that this officer has arrested a
man for throwing banana peels on the
street. That offense Is one of the most COM
mon in the city, and yet have not had any
cases of that kind in long time, and the
officer should be complimented for doing his
duty. Throwing banana peels on the street
is not only unsghtly. but is dangerous to
life and limb. Frequently I have stopped
and kicked the peels off the street" These
remarks of Judge Kimball were made when
he announced the conviction and fine of S.
or fifteen days.

GRADE MAINTAINED.
Decision Regarding the Extension of
Fourteenth Street.

The present grade of 14th street extended
will be maintained and preserved. A rec
concentration to this effect was made today
by Col John Biddle, Engineer Commission
err, in answer to request by representa-
tives of the Holmead Manor corporation or
syndicate. The representatives Of the Hol-
mead syndicate wanted the street lowered
where it passes their property. arguing that
if this was not done it would be necessary
for them to fill in their property-about ten
acres.
Col. Biddle thinks the grade already
agreed upon Is better for the public inter-
ests, and he thinks that as the property OF
the Holmead syndicate Is in a valley or hol-
low it would be better for the owners of
that property to have it filed In.
