CANNOT ENDURE WITHOUT GOD
Nations and Men Must Seek Substance
in Christianity.

Nations and Men Must Seek Substance
in Christianity.
"a prosperous nation that has forgotten
God cannot endure" said Rev. j. Ran
dolph Smith at Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church Sunday morning God always
came with vengeance and to reconpense.
It is the substance and not the shadow that
is the true foundation of Christianity. The
mirage of worldliness may allure, but to
follow IL means destruction. We should
seek instead of the mirage the living water.
Human life without Christ is like a sandy
desert and Is but the mockery of the mirage
and IN II there is no life-giving waters.
We may be entranced with the iridescent
beauty of tho desert mirage. but the sub
stance is wanting. It may be sweet in APP
pearance. but II is bitter to life. 1t is
mockery and the genius of disappointment.
''Vain have been the efforts of man to
describe the true world l defy Christians
to find in mere externals a definition for
worlds. labels wear out and writing be-
comes indistinct. Worldliness is not
thing, but a spirit 1t is the attitude of tho
soul toward God in dealing in every thing
of life. II your ideas cause you to defect
in the least from God you are lost. The
man who cannot stand the Christianity of
the Sermon on the Mount is deficient in
Christianity. The essence OF Christianity
Is repentance. God cannot find a wanderer,
but He can hear the cry OF a penitent soul.
The scriptures use water the symbol
of God. The spring of Christs love does
for humanity what water does for the
desert, only a thousand times more. Christ
Is the river of God. He is the never falling
spring of all life, for He has said. 4 am the
Water of Life"

Things.

THE secret OF tho power of thought Is
20 hil the minds with things so good and
pure and molly that there will be no room
for the other things, so that when the evil
spirit comes, he will find no place by which
he may enter"
Thus spoke Rev. j. Addison seibert,
pastor OF the Old First church at Kansas
City. in u sermon Sunday morning at st.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church on
",Tho Power OF Thought" Mr. Seibert
illustrated by relating the supposed expert
ences of ar evil spirit which attempted to
corrupt three persons, one after another,
and was repulsed in each case. First he
came to a young man blowing in a field.
ard seeing ne was a man likely to become
n leader in the worlds affairs, approached
him in hope Of implanting in his mind
evil thought, which should finally be his
own destruction and the means of the
destruction of many of his comrades. Hear
ing the young man singing the words of a
psalm the evil spirit despaired of ac-
complishing anything, and passed on. Next
he saw girl walking down the road, in her
hand something he supposed was school
book. IF / can put one thought in her
mind" he said to himself, II shall be able
TO corrupt her and her girl friends, and
the young men who are thier acquaint-
ances" SO he walked up softly behind the
girl, only to find she was reading from the
Bible. and had the book open at one of the
psalms which speaks of Christ as the safe
guard OF young women.
Psalms weapon Against Evil.
He passed the girl and the school house
and came to the church, finding there what
he thought was his best chance In the
manse by the side of the church, the old
minister. who had served the same con-
gregation for thirty years, lay dying. Il
cannot hope to do much with his life so
far spent" he said, but II l can only
implant the seed of doubt in the dying hour,
his people shall know of It, and l can
undo all he has done in these thirty years"
Finding his way unseen into the house. he
saw the old man reading the Twenty-third
psalm, 1.-THE Lord is my Shepherd"
"Then the evil spirit" said the speaker,
took a hurried flight far away from the
school house, and entered the mind of an
idle man."

Mr.. Seibert. further, after telling the story

need is a deeper thought into the mysteries

II has widened out until, perhaps. IT is

anchorage of the soul in divine things.

Rev. Mr.. Hummon's Discourse.
TN the words of the scripture Jesus
Christ himself is the chief cornerstone.
In building 1t is important that we build
well. Whether the structure is material
or otherwise the supremely important
thing is the foundation. This is as true
OF spiritual structures. There must be a
solid, Interchangeable, inf1exible foundation
whether the house be physical, spiritual or
mental
1--WE have met to lay the cornerstone of
a new building. a material structure 1t is
true and yet place for spiritual exercise
and spiritual feeding-a house to which
Gods people will go for mama and for
communion with him.
This cornerstone is meant to symbolic
the invisible. spiritual cornerstones being
laid in the hearts of men. As the corner
stone Is the foundation so every Christian
rests upon Jesus Christ who is indispens-
able in the highest, noblest and best things
of human character Without Christ the
Bible is meaningless. the world a wilder
ness and heaven itself becomes furnished.
Christ is absolutely essential to Christian
life and character. Take Christ away and
Christianity is impossible. Happy is the
man who can say that his hope is based
on Jesus Christ and Christ alone.
Unifying Force.
This foundation is a unifying force.
There may be differences of organization
or administration but there is the same
Lord. There may be differences of opera
ton but it is the same Christ. If you are
founded on the same Christ and believe
In the same Jesus we are one in union with
Christ"
The pastor then read the list OF the
usual articles placed in the stone and pre-
sided at the swinging of the stone In
place with invocation and blessing. The
doxology and benediction followed.

HARTMAN GETS NEW ROAD
Sale Of St. Paul to Southern Pacific
10 Confirmed
STANDARD OIL MAGNArE AIDS IN DEAI
Interests That Blocked Hill In
Effort to Get Road Year
Ago Assist the Union
Pacific Man.

The reported sale Of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad to e. H. Harri-
man through the medium OF the Southern
Pacific has been all but officially confirmed
In New York commercial interests. The
deal will, when the st. Paul road is ex-
tended to the coast, give Hartman a north
western as well central and southern
outlet to the Pacific coast 1t is stated
that the deal in no way affects the proposal
to build the st. Paul on to the coast
Rumors that the Union Pacific magnate
had been trying to get control of the st.
Paul have been circulating for some time
Definite information on the subject has
just been given out in New York
The plan was held up. It is stated, by the
refusal of some of the directors Of the
st. Paul to give their consent but now Il is
declared the Standard OIL interests repre-
sented by William Rockefeller have sided
in with the deal, making II a sure go.
There are two methods Of accomplishing
the result and which of the two has been
adopted is not announced One is the leas-
ing of the road to the Southern Pacific and
the other involves the sale of controlling
interest In the stock outright to the South
ern Pacific. The terms Of the latter PROPOSE
ton are said to be the exchange Of 100
shares of the Southern Pacific preferred
stock and $4,000 cash for each 100 shares
OF st. Paul common stock and the exchange
of 100 shares Of Southern Pacific preferred
and $1,000 cash for each 100 shares Of St.
Paul preferred.
Rockefeller Favored the Deal.
1t Is understood Mr.. Rockefeller preferred
the latter proposition, but some NJ the other
stockholders objected to the transfer of the
road and favor the leasing proposition 1t
is understood that Rockefeller and some of
his close associates will sell their stock ON
the above basis.
The securing by the Hartman interests
of a controlling interest in the st. Paul
would involve the purchase of at least $50
100000 of the stock, as there is a little over
$l07, 000,0 900 out. The Southern Pacific has In
its treasury enough preferred to consum-
mate the deal, as s60.0oo.OoO of preferred
stock remains unssued.
The sale of the St. Paul to Hartman, It
is said will do a great deal to clear UP the
western railroad atmosphere, as the road
has been bone OF contention among rival
magnates for a number OF years. Some
time ago J. ]. Hill tried to get possession of
II but blocked, It is asserted, by the
Rockefeller interests.
The original intent is said to have been to
secure the road through the Union Pacific,
but this was found to be in violation of the
federal interstate commerce act
The acquisition of the road will make a
large addition to the Hartman system. The
Union Pacific operates 1857 miles Of road,
the Southern Pacific 1884 miles, the Illinois
Central 4.874 miles and the st. Paul e,s11
miles, total of 6,126 miles under Harri-
mans control.

WRESTLBRS PREPARE
FOR COMING MATCH
HAcKENscHMlDT AND GRIFFIN
OF. OPINION THE MATCH WILL
BE HARD-FoUeHT-MUcH IN
TEREsT is AROUSED.

Secretary Harry Miles of the Birming-
ham Athletic club announced last night
that the second match at wrestling be-
tween Hacl5enschmldt and Griffin was
attracting greater interest than was
evidenced in the first bout between the
two men.
4 believe we will have a crowded
house Monday night said Mr.. Miles,
and ! think the fact that the men have
been seen at work here has much TO do
with the increased interest taken in the
match"
Both of the wrestlers are hard at work.
Each admits that the bout is going to be
hard fought. and both state that the best
man will win. HaclSenschmidt and Grif-
fin are of the one opinion. that the other
is a good and clever man, and for that
reason neither is allowing any oppor-
tunity to escape to make the very best
sort of condition by the time the match
is called.
The arrangements for the prelimnaries
are proceeding in a satisfactory manner,
and there is every indication that those
who attend the entertainment will be
given their full of enjoyment at athletic
sports.

AUBURN WILL PLAY
BIRMINGHAM SQUAD
HOTTEST BASKETBALL GAME OF
THE SEASON ANTICIPATED THIS
EVENING AT THE BIRMINGHAM
ATHLETIC CLUB GYMNASIUM.

The basketball game between Auburn
and the Birmingham Athletic club, which
will be played this evening on the gym
naslum of the Athletic club, promises to
be the best and hardest fought match
at that game since the Yale five visited
this city.
The Auburn squad has among its
players some men who formerly played
on the Athletic club five. and these will
add materially to the strength of the
visiting squad in more ways than one.
The local boys feel that the Auburnltes
will give them the hardest tussle they
have had since the Yale crew passed
through this section. and because of that
feeling they are practicing hard and regu-
larly.
The game is going to be something of
a society event, each of the fives having
appointed sponsors and maids of honor.
1t is expected the lady friends of the
players of both sides will be out in full
force. all of which will add to the in
terest and pleasure of the game and the
spectators.
