INSPIRED LOGIC.
By Rev. w. w. Weeks


Text.-''If when we were enemies
we We're reconciIed to God by the death
of His Son, much more, being recon
ciled, we shall be saved by His life
Romans 5 10.
There are depths in the ocean which
no tempest ever stirs. Far below the
foaming pillows of the surface there
abides a perpetual calm. And there are
heights in the blue sky above us to
which no cloud ever ascends, where nc
hurricane ever sweeps, and where peace
and sunshine abide. So, too, in the life
Of every child of God, there are depths
and heights untouched by the storms OF
time Fierce waves of trouble may
agitate the surface of the soul, but
far below the surface is the sanctuary
of the Most High, filled with ''the peace
of God which passeth all understand
ing"
In all logical arguments there are
certain great underlying truths accept
ed without discussion. In looking into
this text we find the apostle assumes
that the cross of Christ was not the
cause of Gods love for us, but the Oc-
casion and instrument of its manifeSta-
ton. This truth we need TO carefully
keep in mind, for we are always in
danger of looking to the Son and not
the Father as the great fountain of
love- Christ did not die to change Gods
;n+n h,1t
us, Christ died that we might know and
feel its power Long before the rocks
turned back the sea waves, or the day
star found his place, before the first
angel form circled about Gods throne
when as vet Jehovah alone filled this
universe, He loved US. and His tender
ness moved towards the sons of men.
1t was for us the worlds were made and
the angels created For us the cross
was planned and the Son became a
babe, and every movement of Provi-
dence is specially directed for the bless
ing of His children.
The upward gaze and the radiant
face become the child of God. In the
old dfspensation when the high priest.
clad in spotless white and carrying
the blood of atonement, went within
the veil, the congregation outside wait
ed eagerly for his return, as the real
ization of their hopes, and when at last
they heard the tinkling of the bells on
his garments, and from behind the veil
he appeared in glorious apparel, the
great Jubilee shout was heard. Let
it be ours to wait and watch and listen
for the tinkling of the bells that tell of
the near approach of our great High
Priest. who is now within the veil for
us, knowing that when He appears He
will bring with him all that we have
asked and hoped for.

TRUST AND ROAD
ARE INDICTED,
New York Central and Standard Oil OBJ
ject of True Bills-Charges of
Relating Made.

JAMESTOWN. y. v, Aug. 25.-Thr
federal grand jury investigating alleged
violations of the Elkins rebate law by
the Standard Oil company. the PennSyi-
yana railroad company, and the New
York Central railroad company i'll the
state met here yesterday and returned
TWO indictments, one against the Stand
ara on company, the other against the
New York Central.
The indictment charges the railroad
with carrying oil from Olean, n. y, to
burlington, VT, ut Il rate much lower
imam that given to the general public
without filing with the interstate com
merce commission any schedule showing
the rates charged in these cases for in
terstate commerce business.
126 Counts Against Oil Trust,
There are 126 counts in the indict-
ment against the Standard Oil com
pany. Briefly stated the indictment
charges unlawful discrimination in its
favor by the Pennsylvania railroad
company, the New York Central. and
the Central Vermont railroad company.
The indictment charges the company
received and accepted freight rates on
OIL shipped from Olean, n. Y, to Bur
hngton, Vt, during the year 1904 at
rate of about IS cents per hundred
weight, while the rate ON similar ship
ments from Bradford, Warren, Struth-
ers. Clarendon, Oil City, Titusville,
Ia, to Burlington was So cents.

minds in the country were seeking
some way in which the game could be
beaten. One clover chap conceived the
idea of registering several times under
the same name But this plan was
frustrated when Commissioner Rich
ards devised a card index for filing all
the names after registration. Thus the
together, and the scheme of the willy
one was exposed If a man registered
under false names he courted q long
term in prison, for proof of his right
name had to be made at the time of fill
ing on his homestead. The very sim
plicity of the plan makes detection
easy.
AS to the absolute fairness of the
scheme, many tests have been made.
For instance, at the opening Of the Vim
tab reservation in Utah, there were 3d.
900 soldiers registered by proxy. Mr..
Richards kept careful check of the SOL
diers who drew lands. There was an
exact proportion of soldiers drawings
something like one successful appli-
cant out of every six registered. The
names Of the soldiers were mixed with
the others, so that the exact ratio of
their drawings proved that the chances
Of success run in proportion to the to-
tai number Of claims and the total num-
Der of registrations. When the regis
tration is high, the chances of success
are small. The Crow reservation open
ing offered the greatest chance, as there
were only 10000 registrations against
$500 claims for distribution. So each
mans chances Of drawing something
were between one in two and one in
three. At the Uintah opening last year
there were over $4,000 registrations
against $500 claims, so the chances of
success were much smaller.
Encouraging the Homeseeker
1t Is the aim of the government Off
Gals to keep the registration as low us
possible. This is with the idea of en-
couraging the bona fide homeseeker and
excluding the born gambler, who mere
ly wants to take a chance" IN the
hope of drawing the magic first number
out of the big box The first number
is the prize desired by every one of the
thousands who register in these land
drawings. At the Crow opening there
was a standing offer of $4,000 for the
first number. In the eager crowd that
gathered about the drawing booth or
the opening day there were men of all
walks of life who had taken chances
in the hope of securing No. 1. But the
first name drawn from the box by the
proud youth who had been selected to
act as emissary for the goddess of
chance was that of Owen B. Williams.
of Custer, Mont.-a "squaw man" Tru-
", opportunity never knocked more I'M
expectedly than on the door of the
"squaw mans" shack on the Big Horn.
But that is merely a sample of the
strange freaks of fortune in these land
drawings. 1t is this element Of chance
that makes these government lotteries
such a fascination to SO many people,

TO HONOR AMERICANS.
Statue of George Washington Will Be
Unveiled in Budapest, Hungary,
on September 16.

BUDAPEST, Aug. 25.-The authori-
ties of the city of Budapest have decided
to unveiI on September 16, the Wash
ington statue now under erection and
have sent invitations to the mayors Of
American cities, presidents of Ameri-
can universities and many notable pub
lie men Of the United States to attend.
The idea of raising this statue arose
out of the erection in Cleveland some
years ago of statue to kossuth. The
Observation-Disclosures who were instru-
mental in bringing about the erection
Of the kossuth monument were so cor
daily supported by Americans that they
decided as q mark Of gratitude to raise
Washington monument in the capital
of their native country.
In commemoration of the event, the
street now known as Wiener is to be
renamed Washington street.

RECOGNITION IN HEAVEN.
BY Rev II M VII r


Text: For now we see through a
glass, darkly; but then face to face :;
now l know in part; but then shall
know even as also I am known"-I
Corinthians Kill II.
We are in the habit of thinking
heaven as a floating something-a base
less fabric that has no body or founda
ton, Heaven is a place just as much
as this earth Is a place, and more so,
for heaven is eternal, and this world
shall be destroyed You know heaven
is spoken of as the Eternal City, whose
maker and builder is God. 1t is spoken
of sometimes as a better country, and
we are pilgrims passing through
strange land on our way to that better
country.
The inhabitants Of heaven are people
KNOW Chere are angels there and
blessed spirits, perhaps of whom we
have no account in Gods word, but we
are sure that among the inhabitants of
heaven are people.
| think one of the strongest argu-
ments in favor Of heavenly recognition
is this: Jesus Christ is the first fruits
of the resurrection. Now, if he is the
first fruits of the resurrection, what
do you understand the other fruits to
be? Some of you have lived in the
country. Suppose some one came to
you with bundle Of wheat and said :
This is the first fruit of my harvest"
would you think the balance of the
harvest was oats? No; you would ex-
pect the balance to come pretty we'll
up to the sample.
But look at other things in the scrip
ture Every one of us must give an
account Of himself to God, and don't
you suppose you will be identified when
you stand out and give your account.
Furthermore, he says something like
this is going to happen up there. He
says some Of US are coming before him
and he will say, Il was sick and We
visited me, thirsty and We gave me
drink - and that we in our own proper
persons will say, Lord, when did we
do these things?" and he will answer,
"lnaSmucn as We did 1t unto one of the
least of these my disciples, We have
done it unto me-" Does not that look
as if you would be known? My sister,
l do not believe that you have ever
gi7en cup of water to a pauper child
that Jesus Christ has not treasured it
up and will remember it and tell you
about it that day. o, blessed thought.
Who does not want to love such
Savior, and do everything they can for
him, when these things are true? Il
will not forget a cup Of cold water
given in the name of a DISCIPLE"

mighty small character.
The best training for the golden

From the grind of drudgery comes at
last the glorious divine spark.

Building Inspector Connolly has gone
into detail, in the building ordinance now
pending in City Council, in the matter of
skeleton iron and steel frames in the con-
struction Of buildings. The proposed law
stipulates that girders for the support
Of enclosure walls shall be placed at the
level of the floors except that when there
is floor beam or channel placed along
and anchored to an outer wall having
window openings, the girders may be
placed in any part OF the apron.

avoided as much as possible and as far
as practicable the frames must be so
designed that all connection between col

The use Of cast iron in skeleton or wall
bearing frames viii be limited as fol
lows:
No cast iron lintels over four feet in
span shall be used in buildings No cast
iron columns shall be used in any build
ing lacking in initial stability against
wind pressure. In buildings less than
ten stories in height, cast iron columns
may be used, in which case the column
connections shall be bolted. In buildings
less than ten stories where the skeleton
construction Of the external walls is re-
placed by wall bearings Of proper and
sufficient strength, the interior columns
may be Of cast iron.
No cored cast iron column shall be used
in any building exceeding four stories or
sixty feet in height.
The floor avcfau1 of q aIrn1nfart or .lsn IN

wrought iron or steel floor beams OF
girders so arranged as to spacing and
length of beams that the load to be sup
ported by them, together with the
weight of the materials used in the con-
struction of the floors, shall not cause a
greater detection of the beams than one
thirtieth of an inch per foot of span un-
der the total load, and they shall be tied
together at intervals not exceeding eight
times the depth of the beam and not ex-
ceeding eight feet for all beams under
/ twelve inches high and all columns OF
beams adjoining the outside walls shall
be properly anchored to the walls at
similar distances.
Each panel of a floor system shall have
beams, girders or walls between each cor
ner column or wall bearing and when a
