Greatest Of Future Events

Rev. DR.. John Lee Allison, pastor of the
Gunton-Tempie Memorial Presbyterian
Church, took as his morning theme yester-
day THE Lords Second Coming" and the
text was Matt. xxvi:84. DIR. Allison said in
part: THE greatest event Of all future time
will be the coming of Christ. Faith reveals
a sacrifice for sin in a dying Savior but
hope sweeps with strong and untiring pin
ions to the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Savior, Jesus Christ
The central theme of the New Tesla
ment Is the imminence and emnence OF
the Lords personal second coming. This
sublime fact Is the pole star of the church
and inspires to watchfulness, patience, fidei-
ity, purity Of life and faithful services. It
will be time when there will be the open
manifestation of all the saints, for 1t doth
not yet appear what we shall be; but when
ne shall appear we shall be like Him, for
We shall see Him as He is, and also a
time Of inexpressible joy for the Christians.
II Is the blessed hope Of the church and
the animating principle in the individual
believer"
At the evening services Dr. Allison took
as his theme the Power Of Content" Miss
Grace Beelman rendered two cornet solos,

EXPRESS RATES REDUCED.
Far-Reaching Decision by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

The interstate commerce commission has
rendered its first opinion reducing express
rates. The case in question was brought
by the American Florists Society, and in
volved the rate on cut flowers from New
Jersey points to New York city, but 1t will
incidentally affect the same class of tranfc
outside all the large cities in the country.
Inc express traffic in cut flowers is an ex-
tensive one and steadily growing. The ex-
press companies give a quick delivery serv-
Ice owing to the perishable nature of the
goods.
In the New York-New Jersey case the
rate had been 80 cents per 100 pounds and
was raised suddenly to 81 per 100 pounds.
The excuse OF the express company was that
the quick delivery service was expensive
and that they had to raise the rate largely
to cover 1t, not owing to the inherent ex-
pense OF the service. but because its con-
tract with the railroad called for a pay.
ment of As per cent of the gross receipts
on its traffic.
Commissioner Lane handed down the de-
clsion, ordering that the rate should be re-
duced from 81 to 60 cents per 100 pounds.
and the return rate on empty flower boxes
from u to 80 cents. the regular merchandise
rate.
