This was the text of the sermon
preached by the Rev. Calvin Thomp-

"Christ's Prayer for Himself" and
DR.. Thompson analysed the petition
in a masterful manner, showing the
perfection of its purpose, the unity
of chrIst's VIII with Gods, and the
mysterious relations Of the trinity.
"There is a certain way in which
Christ is peculiarly the son of God, >

that is actual. and not merely a term
fused by God to accommodate the
great mystery OF divinity to human

WAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

Standard Oil would agree to BEHAVE
like good boy in the future.
No decision has yet been made IN
the matter and the case at Chicago
will continue as If no such offer had
been under contemplation. The prop
|osition for surrender is chiefly sig
|nleant because it indicates the belief
of the ruling powers in Standard Oil
that their case is hopeless the min
lutte it is surrendered to a jury, and
1.-THE best they can do is to compro-
mise, so as to keep the fines down.
May BE Fined Millions.
! have previously SHOWN that If
the United States should win every
case it now mas against the Standard
Ion, and the maximum fine should be
inflicted on every count of every in
dictment, it would wipe out the capI-
tai stock of Standard Oil. On the in
dictments now pending in Illinois,
Tennessee and New York, there is a
possibility of the maximum fine reach
ing the staggering total OF 1881, &c.,
900. There are S,09S counts in the
cases now pending, and the fine pre-
scribed by law ranges from $1,000 to
100000 for each offense. The mini
mum fine on these cases therefore.
| II the government should win on all
of them, would be sS,O9S. 900. Even
the Standard Oil, great as It is, could
not pay these minimum fines without
a tremor.
II plea of guilty should be en-
tered 1t would not be on the basis of
the infliction OF the minimum fine on
each count. but the proposition of
the Standard Oil lawyers probably
would be that the government
should treat each indictment as a
single case, lnflicting if necessary the
maximum fine, but not attempting to
fix separate fine for each count.
Indictments Are Scattered.
In the northern district of Illinois
there are ten Indictments; in the
western district of New York. five in
Idictments and others scattering
Throughout the country. There are
in round numbers about twenty in
idictments against the Standard Oil
company for receiving Illegal rebates
liz the government should accept a
proposition for a plea of guilty and
threat each Indictment as covering one
offense only. the System might
then agree to the inflction of The
maximum fine of $4,000 In eacl
case, or approximately 100000 TO
the batch.

not hope to secure fair trial.

DR.. Group of Walla Walla Meets

J. W. Leslie. of Seattle, aud Dr.

exciting experience Saturday night,
passing over deep ohasms, some of
them so feet wide, ties and rails sus-
pended in midair, rocking to and fro,
the men riding on railroad bicycle,
says Walla Walla paper. The trip
was made from Eureka junction on
the w. & @. R. to Walla Walla where
the men with several others had been
marooned several hours, when ma.
chine was secured and the track in
spected by Leslie for distance If
five miles this side of Eureka juno
tion. He returned and DR.. Group
decided to try and make the trip with
him, Notwithstanding they were
warned by wire not to undertake the
trip by railroad officials.
Seven washouts were encountered
before they reached Lamar, but here
they encountered chasm so feet in
width under which the water was
raging torrent. Rails and ties were
still suspended across the chasm and
as the men crossed the track swung
back and forth, but did not fall, and
the periIous trip was safely made.
They wired back to their friends Of
