ECONOMIC POWER COmpANY.
Its Right to Operate New Plant In
Geneva Is to Be Tested.

Albany, July 1.-THE right of the
Economic Power and Construction
company to operate new plants with
out first securing authority from the
public service commission in the Sec
ond district, is to be tested, accord,
ing to a statement made by the COM
mission.
The commission has served an or
der upon the company to answer
within twenty days a complaint filed
Against it by the Geneva Seneca
Electric company which manufactures
and distributes electricity in Geneva.
1t appears that the Economic Power
and Construction company applied to
the board of public works of Geneva
for franchise to operate in Geneva,
which was granted on March last.
The complaint alleges that the Econ

pany Is constructing its electric light
ing plant in Geneva in violation Of the
public service commissions law.
The Economic Power and Construc-

chapter 459 of the laws of 1898 it has

Mislaid 19 Years.
The diplomatic relations between
America and Venezuela that have
existed uninterruptedly for more than
half century though in recent
years severely strained are complete
ly severed. Senior Veloz Goiticoa, the
Venezuelan charge d'affaires, called at
the state department by appointment
to present to Acting Secretary Bacon
notice from his government that he
was to close up the Venezuelan lega-
tion In Washington.
The charge explained to the acting
secretary that the action of the state
department in withdrawing Jacob
Sleeper, the American charge, from
Caracas made It necessary for his gov
ernment to take similar action in the
case of its own legation in Washing
ton.
Just what took place between Act
Ing Secretary Bacon and the charge
cannot be known beyond the fact that
the latter presented his letters OF re-
call. He made no demand for his
passports nor could he do so consist
entity In view OF the fact that Foreign
Minister Paul had declined to issue
such passports to the American
charge when he withdrew from Cara
cas-. on the ground that there was no
necessity for passports, the country
being in peace and his person not be-
ing threatened.
Senior VeloZ communicated to Mr..
Bacon the fact that files and papers OF
the Venezuelan legation would be
placed in custody of Senor Pimental,
the Venezuelan consul general in New
York. This statement is regarded as
an Indication that the Venezuelan gov
ernment will follow the precedent es-
tablished by the United States in re-
framing from interfering with trade
by closing the consulates, notwith-
standing the hreech in diplomatic re-
| lations.

A Worldly Church.

The present tendency toward
questionable liberalism in the church.
and toward a mere formality in re-
liglon which is devoid of vital godli-
ness, has been sounded at Richmond,
Va, by the Bishop OF London, who
was a visitor at the sessions of the
trlennial session of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. The bishop said:
Il have no means of knowing the
trend of religious thought in the
United States, but from my expert
ence of east, north and west London,
the future lies with no church which
sinks to what Is called the new the
ology.
"After all is said and done. the
most evangelistic, the most catholic,
the most orthodox church on earth
will produce no effect upon the world
IL it has not still one further char
acterlstlc 1t must clearly and un-
mistakably, and before all the world,
be unworldly itself Bear with me,
then, when | say, as my last word,
that the greatest danger to the
church on both sides of the Atlantic
Is worldllness.
In one sense, it is impossible for
the church to mix too freely with
the world. Into the slums of East
London, into the business of Wall
Street, into the mining camps of
Klondike, the church must go, and
no human interest in the world is
outside the interest of the church.
But, on the other hand, to run
q church as a man runs n successful
business, to depend upon cleverness
and management rather than the
grace of God, TO neglect prayer and
intercession in favor Of influence with
he press, to lower the teaching OF
the church on its moral standard, IN
order to suit self indulgent age, Is
! to spell ruin and failure and shame
for the most orthodox church in the
world. In voice which still rings
down the centuries, Jesus Himself

Good Out OF Evil.

Even the results of a mans fail
ures and sins can be turned to good
account in the Lords service when
man in Gods strength has put those
sins behind him. There is rich en-
couragement here for all who are
tempted to discouragement because
of the multitude OF failures with
which their path Is crowded One
who has failed and is striving to live
down that failure can sympathize
with another who has failed, as one
who does not know the meaning OF
failure can never do.
Whatever our sins may have been,
there are sure to be other souls close
by who need help and sympathy in
the struggle with those same sins;
and God in His love permits lis to
minister to them, IL we will with Pc
culiar power because OF the very
scars that we bear. Did yesterday
witness your worst failures of all?
There are others you can help now,
whom you could not help before.
We need not try to understand this
nor to say that 1t Is not 80 because
good can never come frcm evil. II
is one OF the mysteries of the und e.
served blessing of Gods love; tc
which such wrecked and regsnerated
saints as s. II. Hadlcy and John b

the woman telephoned the agent and
asked where she could go to select
papers. He, having much else on his
mind and taking 1t for granted that
she would not ask for anything not
allowed, told her the dealers name
and sent her on an order. The paper
was selected and paid for and the
woman supposed 1t had been hung,

week to see, she found 1t still on the
floor. Investigation proved that no
orders for putting 1t up had been
given and the agents telephone wire
became hot. Why wasn't the apart

books to find out. Then 1t was he

Eph. I. 13, IA.

Rom. 8. 14-17. These words reach
the high water mark of the Pauline
writings. 1t is something that the
discussion of the former chapters has
given a groundwork for-the tri-
umphant fact Of the witness of the
Spirit. This is here stated, and
based on the fundamental al fact of lie,
namely, that a man may know wheth-
er or not he is child Of God, In the
same way that he may know any
other fact. All may know the lead
ing Of the Spirit, and 1t should be
matter of supreme inquiry by every
professed child of God, that he know
Rom. 8. 3S, 80. This is a bold state
ment, and Paul c.>.l never say, or
even think 1t, without the assurance
given to his consciousness by the
Spirit. There is no danger outside
ourselves, either to body or spirit,
that can separate us from Christ, once
the Spirit speaks that word "Adop-
ton"
Eph. I. 13, IA. 1t is here the clear
teaching that the presence OF the
Holy Spirit in the heart is a touch oi
the heavenly life. Indeed, 1t is the
heavenly life. The Christian has q
foretaste of what the heavenly joys
will be, when he has received the
Holy Spirit.
Before my salvation can be OF any
value to any other it must be certain
ly mine. There is much confusion
here. The old song, Am His, ol
Am / Not?" IS echoed at times In al
most every heart. And yet, perhaps
there is nothing that is so assured u
the follower OF Christ as that he ma!
know that he is a child Of God. "Thes'

A careful study of Romans S:23,
26, r. ", clearly shows justification
has twofold aspect. The character
Of God had been questioned through
the ages during which sin had been
apparently allowed to go on un-
checked. and IT was therefore essen
ual that His character should be vim
dicated to the world. This is what
is meant by the Justification of God
to man. At the same time, 1t was
equally necessary that man should be
justified before God In order to be
saved to all eternity, and the New
Testament term righteousness in
cludes Gods personal righteousness
as vindicated by the Cross and God s
justifylng righteousness as provided
through the Cross. Calvary Is at
once the justification of God to man.
and the justification OF man before
God. - Rev. w. H. Griffith Thomas
