providential agent for the Babylonlan
empire. He was a sane magician i'm
the deep things Of God. He was a sue
cessful manager Of his large and i'm
portant province. He became the prime
minister of Babylonia Disraen was
obliged to pass through series of.dis-
appointments, failures and cruel mock
cries before his powers were fully ap-
preciated He felt his genius. he studied
and worked hard for its development,
and he defied his enemies and inspired
his friends, and rose up to be the
greatest prime minister of the British
empire.
THE lives and successes of these
three grand Jews have lessons of inn
portance for us. Each of them was
misunderstood, hated and prosecuted.
Each OF them was free from the spirit
OF revenge. Each of them was in
dustrious. Each was honest, educated,
far-seeing and justly ambitious. They
were also religious and took time to
pray Joseph and Daniel were born in
Palestine Dlsraeli was born in Eng
land. These men were, with one ex-
ception, foreigners in the countries
which raised them to power; and 1t was
in monarchical countries that they were
trusted and honored. Neither David
nor Solomon In Palestine ever exer-
cised such power as these splendid
statesmen did in foreign lands. They
were inspired interpreters of men and
things. All science is just interpreta-
ton OF nature. Christ was the inter-
prefer of human life, of nature and of
the Bible. The gift of Interpretation is
the greatest gift. The interpreter is
the master Of the highest destinies of
our race"

are the atmospheric conditions of the
great southwest of our republic
And what a health resort we have!
Our leading men of the west have, for
the most part, been the great leaders
of the east From overwork In their
eastern homes, they have broken down
physically and have had to seek a
warmer climate. Or they have gone
to Southern California or the great
southwest, because there Is sickness
in their family. Rather than be sep
arated from their loved ones, they
have gone to the southwest to renew
their life's struggles near to the Pa
cific coast The result Is, that some of
the ablest ministers and lawyers and
physicians and engineers and educat-
ors and finsnciers and men of all de-
partments of life have settled in the
great southwest. The successful man
of New York will not change his home

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR
COMES TO A CLOSE
DAY Is OBSERVED IN CATHOLIC
CHURCHES
Rev. Thomas J. Devine breaches Pre-
Advent Sermon at ST. Vincent's
Church and Tells of Signs Of Sec
ond Coming contrasted with First

Yesterday, the twenty-fourth Sunday
Advent, was observed as the closing
of the ecclesiastical year in Catholic
churches. At st. Vincent's church
Rev. Thomas ]. Devine, c. NJ,
preached a pre-Advent sermon yester-
day morning.
Father Devine spoke of the contrast
between the first and second coming
of Christ In an eloquent manner the
speaker pointed to the path of the
faithful. He said in part:
"On this, the last Sunday of the &C.
cleslastical year, the church speaks to
the faithful of the second coming Of
Jesus Christ. In the gospel today she
repeats the words spoken by Christ,
warning his disciples of the signs
which are to accompany his coming to
judge both the living and the dead
What contrast will there be between
the first and the second coming of the
son Of God.
when he first came upon earth he
came as a savior to bring redemption
and mercy to mankind. He came in
weakness, humility and in poverty
shorn of all the marks of his divinity
assuming our humanity that he might
be brought nearer to us and give us
new motives for love and gratitude.
But on the last day when he will
summon all to appear before the trib-
unal of justice he will come in the
power and splendor OF his suffering
and death will be borne before him as
source of joy to the just and of
anguish and remorse to the wicked.
He will again take up the scepter of
his authority and call to himself for
all eternity those who by their lives
have merited the reward of eternal
life. That God will reward the good is
beyond question. That he will punish
the wicked is no less certain.
con the judgment day we Will see the
contrast between tho wicked and the
good. Then they who have lived lives
of virtue reap the fruits of their faith
and patience. They will look up to the
face of Christ with the supremest joy
and confidence and hear their God and
Redeemer invite them into mansions
OF eternal peace and bliss.
But. on the contrary, what shame
and confusion will overcome those who
have not passed their lives In accord
ance with Gods laws. All their sins,
even the most hidden and secret will
appear before the whole world and
punishment, just and rigorous. will be
meted out to them.
"The thought of judgment day
should be to those who are striving to
live according to God, a source OF hope
and trust in Gods mercy. 1t should
fill them with confidence and aid them
I'm overcoming all obstacles in the way
OF salvation. But they who persistent
ly violate Gods law have great reason
to fear the ayenglng justice of the
Almighty They should by sincere re-
pentence ask pardon for their sins
whilst there Is time. lest death find
them in their sins and Gods justice
condemn them to eternal punishment :"

three daughters, besides other rela-
tives, to mourn her loss. Besides
Mr.. Cooke of Brownsville, these
include the following; Lucien
Cooke of Roanoke, Va, Mrs. Hay

Much Smuggling In Holiday Season.

The abolition of the free zone on
the Texas Mexican border has re-
suited in a great increase of Snug
Cling, and both the Mexican and
United States authorities are kept
busy.
This was especially true during
the holiday season just passed, and
deputy collector of customs Fergu-
son OF this city is in receipt of in
formation of many arrests which
were made at Laredo, Eagle Pass,
FL Paso and other border towns.
The smuggling is for the most
part from the United States into
Mexico, and it is up to the Mex
lean authorities to stop this, as
the United States government has
nothing to do with it beyond lend
ing such friendly help as they may
find the opportunity.-San Anto-

For City Drainage.

Work is progressing nicely on
bitches for the drainage of the
northern and western portion of
the city. The work as outlined by
TIE mayer, embraces the following
districts: From Elizabeth to 3rd
and Washington streets; thence
down Washington to 4th: out 4th
to Adams street; down Adams to
9TH washington square,) thence
north on 9TH street to drainage
ditch, which will carry the water
into the resaca near the cemetery.
No one has ever questioned the
necessity of drainage of the above
district, but something else has to
be considered in connection there
with, and the authorities have de-
cided conditions are favorable for
the cousummation of this work, a
fact which THE HERALD IS proud
to state. In addition to this, it has
also been decided to grade, fill and
roll Elizabeth street, beginning at
the garrison wall and extending to
3rd street. Bids for this work have
been advertised for, which will be
seen by reference TO THE HERALD
today. No one is more anxious that
the city be put IL frs class condi-
ton than members of the city coun-
Gil. That such has not been done,
IS due to a lack of facilities rather
than Indifference, and the public is
assured the city will be improved |
as fast as circumstances will allow !
