COUNCIL HOLDS UP
FRANCHISE REQUESTS
BOYLE HEIGHTS LINE ALONE is
CONSIDERED
Committee of the Whole Delays Action
on Many Applications Submitted
Spur Track Builders Are Conn
PEELED to Wait

With the exception of the street rail-
way franchise for East Seventh street
and Boyle Heights the committee of the
whole of the city council yesterday de-
layed action on every franchise that
came up before it and these were
numerous.
L. c. Scheller asked for a franchise
for a street railway line from First to
Third street running along Central
avenue. The council passed an ordi-
nance in February giving Mr.. Seheller
this franchise, but it was vetoed by
Mayor. McAleer and referred by the
council to the committee of the whole.
The Llewellyn Iron works asked for a
spur track franchise across Magdeena
and Railroad streets. Simon Maier
wanted a franchise for a spur on Lyon
street from Macy to Also. Applications
for spur track franchises asked for by
E. C. Cribb and the Santa Fe were
also considered.
All these franchises are old requests
that have been before the committee
of the whole for several months, but
since the riverbed franchise the coun-
ell has been a little slow about grant
ing these requests.

A MESSAGE FOR TO-DAY.

Religious profession should be a guar
antee Of character When the profession
IS based upon real experience of spirit
ual quickening under the influence of the
Holy Ghost, upon sure knowledge of the
forgiveness of ones sins through Jesus
Christ, and upon acceptance into the
family of God the Father character of
high and worthy type will be the out
come. The Christian must be a vast i'm
provement on the unbeliever. If he is
not, he has traduced his Lord. He must
do and be more than the man who rejects
Jesus Christ; ''for if We love them which
love you, what reward have We Do not
even the publicans the same? And if We
salute your brethren only what do We
more than others? Do not even the pnb.
hcans SO? Be We therefore perfect. even
as your Father which is in heaven is ner-
rect" This is high ideal of Christian
aspiration but it is the ideal of Jesus.
ana its attainment is within the reach
OF every one of his professed disciples-

PRAYER.

o Thou who art the TRUTH lead us, we
pray Thee, into that truth which Thou
hast revealed. Show us the Father. Give
us such vision of Thyself, such acquaint-
ance with Thee, that we shall know Thee
we'll and thus know what God is. Re-
veal God to us, not for our condemna-
ton, but that we may be saved. Teach
us to see in Him the God who loved the
world and gave His only begotten Son for
our redemption. So may we turn to
Him, trusting. His grace of pardon, sub
hitting our wills to His. Teach us also
what God would have us be- Manifest
Thyself to us as perfect man, and may
we see in Thee the pattern to which our
lives should be conformed. Hasten the
transformation which by Thy truth and
Spirit Thou dost accomplish in Thy dis
ciples, and let us draw nearer, day by
day, to the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ Amen.

HE KNOWS ME PERFECTLY.

OF His high attributes, beyond the most
thank my God for that omniscient eye
Beneath whose blaze no secret thing can
lie
In His infnitude of being lost
bless my God 1 am not wrecked and
Upon sea of doubt, with power to fly
And hide, somewhither, in immensely,
One single sin out OF His reckoning
crossed.
For even there, self-conscious of it's
thrall,
Would spring the terror: "If He knew
the whole
And tracked this skulking guilt out to it's
goal,
He could not pardon But, or great or
small,
He knows the inmost foldings of my
soul,
And, knowing utterly, forgives me all.

GOADS AND NAILS.

The Rev. Wn1. Carter was instqlled
pastor of the Madison Avenue Reform
ed church, New York, October 7th. By
invitation, the Rev. Henry Van Dyke.
d. D., preached the sermon, taking as
his text Eccles. II: 10-11, "The Preach
er sought to find out acceptable words.
The words of the wise are
as goads; and as nails we'll fastened
are the words of the masters of assem-
blies." A few of the thoughts from
the sermon, which was both eloquent
and appropriate, are: What makes the
= "a o.. So seriou is If
cause it is his duty to speak for God,
as an ambassador a man with a mes
sage. He must not bear false witness
for God. When be breaches he Ist
speak for God. There must be fidelity
in searching the Scriptures. 81 like the
preacher who does not know too mucl"
Secondly, it is because preaching is
speaking about the interests of The
soul. All things which are transient
are none of the preachers business.
He has nothing to do with the pciti-
cal aspects of politics, or the CONNER
c1al aspects of commerce, or the social
aspects of society. 1t is the mora side
of every problem that Christianity
touches. Third, it is because preaching
is speaking to human beings with per-
sOnal responsibilities and eternal des-
TIMES. The preacher does not speak
to lay figures or wax images. He must
make very plain one thing, namely,
that he loves his fellowmen and wants
to do them good.
The difficulties which confront the
preacher are many, and only few
can be specified. Preaching has been
going on for SO long a time that orig
inality is now difficult, if not impossl-
BILE. 1t must be absolutely true ana
genuine. The preacher must seek after
truth and let originality take care Oh
Itself. Another din ulty in the r.a"n.
er's way is the intense competition Oh
other claims upon the interests OF Jne
people. In the social world there Is
prevailing temper Of Indifference to-
ward the things of the spirit.
Therefore, the preacher must use
both goads and nails. The goad Is az
instrument with a sharp point on "
business end, and is intended to secuI0
progress. The nail, on the other ha anu
is intended to secure immobility. i.i,
two together are necessary for VitaIi"
in the church.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-12-05

After the sad studies of the past few
weeks, it is very joyous to exclaim, HE
is risen!" All the agony overall for
which He died, secured. His resurrec-
ton is said to be the best attested fact
in history" as well as the most impor-
tant.. Our last lesson left Jesus on the
cross. Joseph of Aramathea begged His
body and laid it in a tomb hewn out of
the rock in a garden near Calvary; the
women who had been at the cross were
at the hurried burial and knew the place,
and that a large stone formed the door
of the sepulchre. This stone the chief
priests asked Plate to have sealed, and
Roman guard placed there. At six o'clock
on Friday the Jewish Sabbath began, and
the completing of the amounting of the
body could not be done until the Sabbath
had passed. So it is probable that the
women planned together to come to the
tomb as early on the morning after the
Sabbath as possible. Not one of those
who loved and trusted Jesus remembered
the- - 1'~d cold He would rise again.
so al Of their hopes that He was the
Messiah wee dead, and it was a Sabbath
of unutte. able gloom, without ray of
light, to His followers. Our lesson text
gives us an account of the resurrection.
We have recorded ten or eleven of His
appearances during the forty days after
His resurrection; part of these were in
Jerusalem, others in Galiiee; it was af-
ter HIS ascension that He appeared to
Paul and later to John, in Patmos.
We cannot emf hasize too strongly the
value Of His resurrection in the scheme
of redemption lis death on Calvary
left us with dead Christ; His resurrec-
ton was needed to show Him as conquer
or OF death, the Son of God and Saviour
of the world.
"The resurrection of Christ is the GER
tiicate of our Lords mission from hea-
ven, to which He himself pointed as
warrant Of His claims.
If ChIist could rise from the, dead we
who are united to Elm by living faith,
will Iise also. The resurrection of the
body is "a type of spiritual resurrection
Jesus is continually raising men from
the death of sin to a life of righteous
ness
This central fact of all history should
kindle joy in our hearts whenever the
truth is recalled, because our Lords vic
tory over death was completed and de-
mOnstrated at that time. 1t should keep
alive the flame of unhesitating confidence
in our hearts, because the Vanquisher
of death subdues all our foes, as He has
destroyed the last enemy.
