this sermon the preacher outlines
- in Imagination the dramatic story
of character of the time of Christ who's
experience has a remarkable interest foe
the people of today. The text is Mtthew
xvii. 50. "Truly this was the Son o.
God"
No picture OF the crucifixion is perfect
unless the face of Jesus Christ is the CEN
ter and absorbing theme. All other parts
of the picture must converge toward that
divine face or radiate from it even as the
spoi1c of the wheel branch out from the
hub. There may be three crosses, but
Je-"-' must be the central cross.
There may be soldiers there gambling for
a prize. but that prize must be the gar
ments of Jesus Christ. There may be a
long line of gcoffers and Knockers and
sneerers and blasphemers passing by, but
they must all have their eyes riveted
upon the dying Lord. The heavens may
be black and the rocks riven. but through
the blackness Of that midnoon there must
be some beam of light lowering about the
bleeding brow of the dying Jesus. Ali
parts of the crucifxion scene must con-
ure of the divine tragedy, the death of
of him whose atoning blood was shed that
whatsoever believeth on him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
But, though we would not for one in
slant turn your chief thought of the cruel
hxion from our Divine Lord, yet in order
to bring Christ's saving sacrifice IA little
closer we would this morning have you

What was his past life? Why was he led

would like 10 answer in an imaginative
way, for in all the bible we do not read
one word about him except that he was
captain or petty line officer in the
Roman army and that he was detailed by
his superior officer to see that Christ was
executed according to the Roman law.
And yet in an imaginative way / believe

policy of the government in its dealing
 with corporations and trusts
 Indeed the country las been favored with abundant crops for years and the
 activity oi its industrial enterprises has
 never been eqnallcd. The balance of
 trade has been iu our favor, hundreds
 of millions annually. No business has been disturbed except that of some of
 the predatory corporations and trusts and they alone are the interests that
 talk about the destruction of confidence and panic
 Take the Standard Oil crowd; the
 Hartman crowd. They have the power to unsettle credit and bring on panic by their own operations and they are going to make the prophecy of Rockefel- Ter good. It is like the colored man and the doctor. The doctor was going from visit to sick colored man and was asked by a couple of the sick mans | friends: "liow is Mose?n The doctor said that Nose would die. After he had left them one of them said to the other How he know Nose will die?" and he was answered, Well, guess the doctor know what he glib him." That is the way with Rockefeller's panic. I guess he knows what he has given to the country.
 Is 1t not high time that the Amer ican people took new departure, and shaped government that will deal with the predatory money kings of earth as their forefathers dealt with the predatory power of the Crown in the Eighteenth cen tury? The Rockefellers, Harrimans and Morgans of America exercise power altogether too arbitrary. They are greater than the govern ment: they hesitate not at any means to crush 1t; and by the potent operation of their concen- trated wealth they expect to punish the American people by precipitat- ing upon the public great financial losses, and frighten them into urg- ing the government to wink at grave infractions of its own laws. President Roosevelt is now at the parting of the ways. If he has the courage and tenacity of Andrew Jackson he will go down in history as one greater than Jackson. If he quails before the storm invoked by the magiclans of finance, he will end his great career in a hopeless wreck. 't aeee s

AT THE PARTING OF THE WAYS

When Andrew Jackson boldly declared that the old United States
 Bank was menace to the people of the United States and should be forced out of business by Congress refusing to renew it's charter, in which policy he was eminentlv successful, that bank and its allied interests made desperate effort to discredit the administration of President Jackson by precipitating the crisis of 1887. Then, as now. there was heard great outcry at the government meddling with the business of the country and send ing everything to smash, when all It sought and endeavored to per form was to hold to strict account ability a hostile power within the land which had become so arrogant and tyrranical that it would brook no regulation nor control, and hesitated not at trying conclusions with the general government. It had secured a strangle hold upon the commercial and industrial &C., tivities of the country, and pun ished the people for supporting the government in an honest effort to- ward holding to responsibility power fully as arbitrary and ire sponsible as that exerted by King George, against which the preced- ing generation had rebelled So suc- cessfully.
 In the financial situation now upon the country there appears the operation of the same kind of in- iuences as those employed against the Jackson administration: and there is i'll operation now the same kind of malignant hostility to the just and wise policies of Presi- dent Roosevelt, which hostility is wreaking upon the American peo- pie by precipitating an unnecessary panic its hatred for Roosevelt and a revenge for the effort he has made honestly to bring to an amen ability to the law the irrespon- slble power of wealth that has grown up in America, that is far more unjust and tyrannical than King George ever dreamed of being.
 Even now the organs of that power are boasting that 1t has brought the President to his knees, and forced in his policy, change that will put stop to his effort to enforce the laws enacted by the peoples representatives to check the rapacity of Mammon's worship pers. Read this from the New

RELIEF TOO MUCH
FOR SCHMITz

Enthusiasm exhibited by Mayor
Schmitz to canvass the relief camps
for the purpose Of Determining the
sentiments of the refugees regarding
the plan Of paying rents for cottages
has evidently cooled considerably, for
he has failed TO tell the Relief Cor
poration when he would go with one
OF their members on the proposed can
vass. In compliance with the sugges-
.tion of the Mayor. DR. p c. Brodericx
was appointed to represent the relief
authorities and accompany the Mayor
on his tour of the camps
Broderick is patiently awaiting
Schmitz's pleasure in the matter. It
has been suggested that the Mayor
has come to realize that he was un-
duly hasty in his interference with re-
lief matters. and taat he would like to
get out of his Questionable position in
the matter in a graceful way.
When Schmitz first suggested the
canvass OF the camps at the meeting OF
the Park Commission Saturday after
noon he was anxious TO make the trip
Sunday. Owing to the lateness OF the
hour it was not possible for the relief
committee to make an appointment or
representative to go with the Mayor
until Sunday morning, and when that
time arrived the latter wanted to post
pone the trip a day. Yesterday he was
again informed that Dr. Broderick was
ready to accompany him at any time.
