man who, before the change, would
have sacrificed the world for his own
advancement, but who, after the
change, would give his life for prin-
ciple, and esteem 1t privilege to
make the sacrifice for his convictions.
What greater miracle than this that
converts selfish, ,self-centered, human
beisg into o center. from which good
influences flow out in every direc-
ton? And yet this miracle has been
wrought in the heart OF each one Of
us-or may be wrought-and we
have seen 1t wrought IN the hearts
of those about us. No, living in the
midst Of mystery and miracles, 1
shall not allow either to deprive me
Of the benefits of the Christian relig-
ion.
Vicarious Suffering Universal.
Some of those who question the
miracle also question the theory Of
atonement; they assert that 1t does
not accord with their idea of justice
for one to die for another. Let each
bear his own sins and the punishment
due for them, they say. The doctrine
OF vicariouS suffering Is not @ new
one; 1t Is as old as the race. That
one should suffer for others Is one
OF the most familiar of principles.
and We see the principle illustrated
every day Of our lives. Take the
family, for instance; from the day
the mothers first child Is born, for
twenty-five or thirty years they are
scarcely out of her waking thoughts.
She sacrifices for them, she surrend-
ers herself to them. Is it because
she expects them to pay her back?
Fortunate for the parent and fortu-
nate for the child, If the latter has
an opportunity to repay in part the
debt 1T owes. But no child can COM
pensate parent for parents care.
In the course OF nature, the debt is
paid, not to the parent, but to the
next generation, each generation suf-
fering and sacrificing for the one fol-
lowing.
Nor is this confined to the family.
Every step in advance has been made
possible by those who have been will
ing to sacrifice for posterity. Free
dom of speech, freedom of the press,
freedom Of conscience, and free gov
ernment have all been won for the
world by those who We're willing to
make sacrifices for their fellows SO
we'll established is this doctrine that
we do not regard any one as great
unless he recognizes how unimDort-
ant his life is in comparison with the
problems with which he deals.
| find proof that man was made in
the image Of his Creator in the fact,
that, throughout the centuries, man
has been willing to die that blessings
denied to him might be enjoyed by
his children, his children's children,
and the world.
The seeming paradox, "He that
saveth his life shall lose 1t, and he
that loseth his life for my sake shall
find It," has an application wider
than that usually given to it; It is an
epitome Of history. Those who live
only for themselves live little lives,
but those who give themselves for
the advancement of things greater
than themselves find larger life
than the one surrendered. Wendell
Phillips gave expression to the same
idea when he said, How prudently
most men sink into nameless graves,

prayer which He left as model for
our petitions, He made our willing
ness to forgive the measure by which
we may claim forgiveness. He not
only taught forgiveness, but He ex-
emplified his teachings in His life.
When those who prosecuted Him
brought Him to the most disgraceful
of all deaths, His spirit Of forgive
ness rose above His sufferings, and
He prayed, Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they dol"
But love is the foundation Of
Christ's creed. The world had known
love before; parents had loved chill
dren and children, parents; husband
had loved wife, and wife, husband;
and friend had loved friend; but
Jesus gave a new definition of love-
His love was as boundless as the sea;
its limits were so far-fiung that even
an enemy could not travel beyond It,
Other teachers sought to regulate the
lives Of their followers by rule and
formula, but Christ's plan was, first
to purify the heart, and then to leave
love direct the footsteps.
What Think Ye of Christ?
What conclusion Is to be drawn
from the life, the teachings, and the
death of this historic figure? Reared
In carpenter shop; with no knowl-
edge OF literature, save Bible litera-
ture; with no acquaintance with phi
losophers living, or with the writings
OF sages dead, this young man gath
cred disciples about Him, promulgat-
ed higher code of morals than the
world had ever known before, and
proclaimed himself the Messiah. He
taught and performed miracles for
few brief months, and then was cru
Gifted; His disciples were scattered,
and many OF them put to deaSh; His
| claims were disputed, His resurrec-
tion denied, and His followers perse-
cuted, and yet from this beginning
His religion has spread until millions
| take His name with reverence upon
their lips, and thousands have been
willing to die rather than surresder
the faith which He put into their
hearts. How shall We account for
Him? What think ye of Christi"
1t is easier to believe Him divine
than to explain in any other way
what He said and did and was And
have greater faith than ever before
since l have visited the Orient, and
witnessed the successful contest
which christianity is Waging against
the religion and PHILOSOPHERS Of the
East.
l was thinking a few years ago of
the Christmas which was then ap-
preaching, and Of Him in whose hon
or the day is celebrated. I recalled
the message, "Peace on earth, good
will to men, and then my thoughts
ran back to the prophecy uttered CEN
turies before his birth, in which He
was described as the Prince of Peace.
TO reinforce my memory l raread the
prophecy, and found immedia tely fol-
lowing verse which I had forpOtten
"a verse which declares that Of the
increase of His peace and govern
ment there shall be no end, FOR, adds
Isaiah, "He shall Judge His people
with justice and judgment" Think
ing Of the prophecy, l have selected
this theme, that l may present some
of the reasons which lead me to be-
lieve that Christ has fully earned the
title "the Prince of Peace" and that

while now and then q few forget

while now and then few forget
themselves into immortality"
Instead Of being an unnatural plan,
the plan of salvation is in perfect har-
mony with human nature as we un-
derstand 1t. Sacrifice is the language
of love, and Christ, in suffering for
the world, adopted the only means
of reaching the heart, and this can
be demonstrated, not only by theory,
but by experience, for the story of
His life, His teachings, His sufferings
and His death, has been translated
into every language and everywhere
lit has touched the heart.
The Fact Of Christ.
But If l were going to present an
argument in favor Of the divinity of
Christ, l would not begin with mira
cles or mystery or theory of atone
ment. l would begin as Carnegie
Simpson begins in his book, entitled
"TheNFact of Christ" Commencing
with the fact that Christ lived, he
points out that one cannot contem-
plate this undisputed fact without
feeling that in some way this fact is
related to those now living. He says
that one can read of Alexander, of
Caesar, or of Napoleon, and not feel
that IL Is matter of personal con-
Germ; but when one reads that Christ
lived, and how He lived, and how He
died, he feels that somehow there is
a chord that stretches from that life
to his. AZ he studies the character
OF Christ he becomes conscious of
certain virtues which stand out in
bold relief-purity, humility. n for
giving spirit, and an unfathomab1e
love. The author Is correct. Christ
presents an example of purity in
thought and life, and man, conscious
OF his own imperfections, and grieved
over his shortcomings, finds insp!rl-
ton in one who was tempted in all
points like as we are, and yet with
out sin. l am not sure but that we
can find just here way Of determin-
Ing whether one possesses the true
spirit of a Christian. If he finds in
the sinlessness of Christ an inspira-
t!cn and stimulus to greater effort
and higher living, he is indeed a fol-
lower: If, on the other hand, he re-
sents the reproof which the purity of
Christ offers, he is likely to question
the divinity Of Christ in order to ex-
cuse himself for not being a fol-
lower
Humility Is a rare virtue. If one
is rich, he is apt to be proud of his
riches; If he has n distinguished an
cestry, he is apt to be proud of his
lineage; If he Is we'll educated, he Is
apt to be proud Of his learning. Some
one has suggested that If one be-
comes humble, he soon becomes
proud Of his humility. Christ, how
ever, possessed Of all power, was the
very personiflcation of humility.
Love as BOundless rs the Sea.
The most difficult Of all the virtues
to cultivate is the forgiving spirit.
Revenge seems to be natural to the
human heart; to want to get even
with an enemy is a common sin. 1t
has been even popular to boast Of vim
|dictiveness; it was once inscribed on
monument to hero that he had
paid both friends and enemies more
than he had received This was not
the spirit Of Christ. He taught for
giveness, and in that Incompatible

Chas. M. Mexican of Lowell was in

Der of years a resident of Pearce.

his mind 1t meant that another dis
trict is to be developed which will be
the equal Of the Warren district and
sufficient to support city as large
as Bisbee.

MINING NOTES OF
PARADISE DISTRICT
Two Propositions for Erection
of Concentration Are
Set Forth,

Il seems that there are two PROPOSE
tons relative to the erection of a
concentration at Paradise. We have
already told about the efforts being
made to this end by Bernoudy &
Wright Now come Joe Larrieu OF
Benson and G. e. Rule of Tucson with
a similar, though separate, PROPOSE
ton
Mr.. Larieu formerly lived here and
il Is his intention to return when con-
ditions are considered by him favor
able for so doing. He still retains
mining and other property interests
IN the district He has as much faith
in the district as ever, and believes
that a small concentration, besides be
ing a paying proposition, would slim
uIate mining activity throughout the
Chfricahua mountains and be of great
benefit TO the camp. Mr.. Rule, who
has the reputation Of being shrewd
business man and who is not unfamii-
lar with mining and mining conditions
In the southwest, eDtertains a like
opinion and is willing to put some OF
his own money into the proposition
In order to make 1t success. MIR.
Rule makes frequent trips to Paradise
and Is an enthusiast not only on the
subject of the district as mining
camp, but on the possibilities of tne
Chiricahuas as summer resort
On the occasion of his last visit to
Paradise, Mr. Rule consulted some of
our business men I'm regard to the
proposition. Il is proposed to organ
ize a stock company to erect the con-
contractor.

NEW TRAIN DECEMBER IS

TUCSON, Nov. 20.-It was learned
yesterday at the Randolph offices that
trains on the new road between No
gales and Cananea viii be in opera
ton about the middle of December. It
is expected that the first train win be
run out of Nogales probably on De
cember IS and re gular service will
be continued on the line from that
date on.
At the present time the greater por-
ton of the road has been finished and
nearly all of the difficult work has
been done. The distance from No
gales to Cananea by rail is about sew
enty-five miles, which is considerably
more than the distance directly across
the country. 1t was necessary, how
ever, take a curytng route in order
to get by the mountains between the
two towns.
With the completion of the NogaIes-
Cananea line, direct train service Will
be given between Tucson and Cana
nea and the long and tedious waits
at junction points will be done away
with. At the present time in going
from Tucson to Cananea, 1t is neces-
sary to change cars at Benson and
also at Naco. At Benson the TRANSFER
is from the Southern Pacific to the
FL Paso & Southwestern. At Naeo it
is from the Ell Paso & Southwestern
to the branch of the Cananea, Yaqui
River G Pacific. Trains on the new
line will connect at Nogaies with the
International from Tucson.

MUST EXPLAIN TRACKS
OF THREE FAT COWS
Indian Farmer Near Phoenix
Is Placed in An URcom-
Portable Position
phoenix Democrat1

Believed to know what become of
three fac COWS that disappeared from
the raGch of Thomas Dennis eight
miles southwest of Tempe. sometime
Friday night, if not actually guilty of
stealing them, John Thomas, a Pima
Indian farmer, was brought to the
county jail this morning, by Deputy
Sheriff Jeff Adams. who spent two
whole days trying TO locate the miss
ing cattle.
After covering a large scope of tho
country with four Indian police officers,
assigned to him by Agent Barney Al
eNapder, at Sacaton, Adams was
forced to give up the search, and what
ran have become of the cows Is now
the most mysterious part of the af-
fair.
Dennis reported the loss of the
stock to Sheriff Hayden Saturday, and
that evening Deputy Adams went to
the Dennis ranch. Sunday morning nc
followed a clearly defined trail from
the gate of Denn's' pasture to a small
corral near the home of Thomas.
Adams followed the trail for fifteen
miles over the desert, and when it
ended at the corral of Thomas, charg-
ed the Indian with knowing what HAD
become of the missing animals
Thomas denied absolutely that he had
taken any of Dennis cows, adding,
however, that he had been to Tempe
FRIDAY and brought back with him
several head Of cows, which he claim
ed belonged to him and which he hao
on pasture.
With the four Indian officers Adams
spent the greater part of Sunday and
Monday along the two sides of the
Gila river, from Sacaton to the cross
ing near the junction of the Salt ana
ella rivers. but nowhere could he find
any trace OF the missing stock.
Convinced that Thomas knew more
than he was willing to tell, Deputy
Adams arrested the Indian at Sacaton
last night, and returned with him TO
Phoenix this morning.
Thomas explanation, in view of the
fact that the cattle of Dennis weIe
traced from the pasture gate of the
latter to the corral gate of Thomas,
is not looked upon with much favor
by Deputy Adams, who will continue
his investigation still further,

ever. for silver and lead only, and on
them for sulphur emo silica.
Owing to the fact that Bernoudy &
Wright's expenses were heavy, this
being the first shipment off the prop
erty, and the payment of royalty OF
10 per cent being necessary, they GId
not make any money out of the ship
ment. It was necessary for them to
build a road, to do some development
work, etc, all of which work would De
eliminated should subsequent ship
ments be made.
However, 1874 ore is shipping ore,
and Bernoudy & Wright have thus
demonstrated that the Columbia is a
shipper.
And. with a concentration in the dis
trict for the elimination of waste from
the ore, thus doing away with large
portion of the hauling, freight ara
smelter charges, it will be readily
comprehended that the Columbia
would be a paying proposition. IN
addition to shipping ore, there is an
abundance OF concentrating ore TO
be had, including 20 or 40 tons now
on the dump left from sorting for the
first carload
This shipment also demonstrates r.
G.. Bernoudy's ability as an ore-sort-
er. Ore of this kind is difficult Of
sorting properly, particularly when
Carrying zinc as this ore does, and
many sorters fail in the attempt The
returns from this shipment tend to
show that the sorting done was prac-
tically perfect.
Mr.. Bernoudy is convinced that the
Columbia has the making of a mine.
But for the reasons above stated, and
because of the expenses mentioned, he
has not yet made Up his mind to do
any more shipping. With a concen-
traitor here, 1t would pay, and with a
railroad, too, 1t wodld be a great
field for a custom concentration, is to
state an unvarnished truth, an axiom,
as 1t were. And a paying concentra-
tor would not be long in bringing a
railroad into the district,

SUCCESSFUL DANCE.

(Dougls Observation-Disclosures
In elaborateness OF preparations
and decorations the dance given by
the Brotherhood of Locomtiye Fire
men and Enginemen at the pavilion
In the park last night excelled any
thing which has been attempted IN
Douglas for long time. In many re-
spects these decorations were unique
and always they were singularly ap-
propriate to the occasion
The lighting effect was obtained
from fifty switch signal lamps ana
FIVE immense locomotive headlights
which gave the appropriate surround
ings for a social gathering OF railroad
men. Besides this, flags, banners and
bunting were used prcfusely, over 13g
emblems OF all kinds being artistical-

A pretty feature of the program
was the moonlight dance which ap-
