CHRIST 5 uALL ID MANKIND OF WORLD Jesus Incarnation on Earth a
 Permanent One WORLDS GREATEST IDEAL Call from the Skies Is To Be the Em- bodiment of Pure, Clean
 and Wholesome
 Soul.
WORLDS GREATEST IDEAL

The Rev. Dr. w. F. Illicit of Nashville, one of the prominent divines of the Meth odist church and dean of the theological department of Vanderbilt university, preached at the First Methodist church last night on the subject of ''The Call Of the Master Upon Mankind and Woman kind of the World" The service was well attended.
 pr. Tillett took his text from John. xi:%: "The Master is come. and calle1n for thee" He spoke in part as follows: T wish to talk to you tonight about the call of the Master upon the mankind and womankind of the world
 T ask first, who is the caller? Second, who is the called? Third. what 8 the calling? First, Christ the Master, s the caller: second, the manhood and woman hood of the world is the called, and. third, the mission of Christian manhood and womanhod in the world is the calling. The three questions must indicate to you something of the answer I shall givt.
 Christ the Leader.
 What does Christ mean to us today :? II tiiNit CNCi was tlillt Whcl iht WI LII wanted leadership, it is today, and the world is ready to follow some leader Have we a king or a master? I think we have.
 "rhe text which l have read was ad- dressed to an individual. and I want to address you as individuals although it can be made a truth in the larger and broader sense. Jesus incarnation on earth is a permanent one, and one Yhich will always remain.
 You ask, what is it that Jesus is leader of, and what kind of people does he leae :? l do not think that the world spells preacher or priest or professor with as big 'p'' as formerly; nor do I think thu the world spells bishop with as big ID" or church with as big ''c'' as it formerly did; but I do believe that the world spells Christ with as big "C" as it ever did and even a bigger one
 Jesus Christ is the worlds great Mas ter and he was not made It's master by any accident, but by virtue of the worth he is to humanity. The reason that Jesrs is King is not because of any accident of
 inheritn@ "a but by the intrinsic

Declares Him the Nest Insulting mad ContemptibIe Perscn Ever Be-
 fore Congressional Committee. Spectators Much Amused

Washington. Jan. 2s.--"You are the most insulting and contemptlbie wit ness I ever saw before a committee, was the retort of Representative Gros- venor to Professor Henry W. Elliott of Cleveland, O., lat a meeting of the House Ways and Means Committee held today to consider the Southard meas ure for regulating sealing in Ais sKah waters.
 You can't shut me up. All this evi- dence is coming. It will go on the floor of the House" Mir Elliott shouted in reply.
 General Grosvenor will interfere whenever he wants to. Take It into the House as soon as you wishs MT. Grosvenor replied, calmly.
 The controversy arose through Fro lessor Elliott's attempting to read the committee much testimony concerning the case of the J. Hamilton Lewis seal ing vessel which was finally sett'ea before The Hague Tribunal.
 General Grosvenor. Chairman Psyne, Representative palzen and other mcnl- bers of the committee, attempted to ex- plain to Mir. Elliott that the documents he was reading were of no value In the hearing. but he resented their inter- ruptjons and attacked the members Of tho committee with vehemence which afforded much amusement to the cen,- mittee and the spectators gathered in the room.
 Mir. Elliott devoted practically the entire morning to a discussion or tho J, Hamilton Lewis case. citing 1t as proof of his claim that tho North American Commercial Company, which holds q concession from the United states to take seals in Alaskan waters, obtained the concession fraudulentiy and should not be permitted to continue in seal fishing. At the conclusion ot the statement of ProfN1sor Elliott, the hearing was declared closed.

HARRIMAN MERGER.
Lane Taking Testimony of Discrimina-
 tion Against JObbers.

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.--Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane today resumed in this city his inquiry into the affairs Of the railroads involved in the so-called Hartman merger and the effect such merger has had upon competition between the lines affected.
 The case today was designated by the Pacific coast jobbers against the Southern Pacific Company. The ship pers complained that they were charSed , cents wharfage on every ton Of freight that entered the city, whether it came across the bay or over the coast line, in which latter case there was no lawful wharfage tax to pay.
 It was claimed that this tax was a discrimination against the commerce of Sn Francisco as compared with other terminal points cn the coast.
 General Freight Agent G. W. Luce of the Southern Pacific was witness. He was asked if the Southern Pacific divided the whole amount received with connecting lines or retaned the wharf age collected and divided the remaind- CT. He replied that the toll charge of cents per ton was not divided. Some statistical testimony and arrangements for filing briefs in the case completed the session.
 Commissioner Lane said that oral ar gument before the Commission sitting en hanc at Washington in June would be heard if the parties desired.

They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief, Gu dIone, and as . conspicuous example of open, frank and honest dealing with the sick and afflicted, are Dr. Pierce's Favortte biiitated, nervous, rundown" pain Eached women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous remedy for weak stomach, indigestion, or dys- pepgiA, torpid liver, or biliousness, all catarrhal affections whether of the passages, throat, bronchiA, or other mu- eous passages, also as an effective remedy for all diseases arising from thin, watery or impure blood, as scrOfulous and skin affections.
 Each bottle of the above medicines bears upon it's wrapper e badge of hon. 3 posing H i0 @pTsntsd ar % tss piasa EHgiisR. This frank and open publicity places these. medicines tp q cLGss 0lL by them eetUes, and Is the best guaranty of their merits. They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither --betng Of kTtO10n composition.
 Dr. Pierce feels that he can afford to take the afflicted Into bis full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medi. cines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores Of the most eminent medical writers as cures tVf tuS QlSGbSSo TUT NAlCH uaGiF eines are recommended. Therefore, the afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the curative value of his medicines for cer' tain easily recognized diseases.
 A glance at the printed formula on each bottle will show that no alcohol and no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter Into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants. These are best and safest for the cure of most lingering, chronic dis eases. Dr. R. V. Pierce can be consulted FREE, by addressing him at Buffalo, N. Y., and all communications are re- garded as sacredly confidential.
