ALBANY, ~ Y, Feb. 13.-Evidence
saries have for 20 years spied on the
shipments OF oil and axle grease by
the four Hlsgen brothers. bought up
their employees and even attempted to
prove by the use OF fraudulent meas
ures that the independent Arm was
guilty OF short-selling. Will be intro
duced here today by Assistant Attor-
ney-General Morrison In the govern
ments suit To dissolve the world s
greatest monopoly.
Hon. Thomas L. Hisgen. of Spring
field. Mass, concluded his testimony
lat o'clock yesterday afternoon. af-
ter cross-examination by Attorney
John G.. Milburn, for the Standard OH
Co., and redirect questions by the gov
eminent.
Two Witnesses Testify.
So far there have been two wit
nesses, including ex-senator George C..
Dean, OF Cheshire, Mass, who took
the stand late yesterday. He charged
the oil trust with granting him rebates
after Hisgen had pointed out that 1t
was guilty OF discrimination against
him.
The witness told how the trust, even
today, Is guilty of rate discrimination
In the territory where the Hisgens
have given them competition In the
oil and is still intimidating dealers
all over America.
Ex-senator Deane. OF Cheshire,
Mass, created a sensation when he
declared to Attorney Morrison that he
had received close to $50 in rebates
from the oil trust after confronting
its agents with proof that the Stan
dard was selling TO Bowen & Co, q
rival Cheshire merchant, at cent and
half gallon less than to him and
from the same barrels or tanks
Why the Price Dropped.
The reduction In price TO meet the
rate granted to Bowen which follow
ed this expose, was due TO Mr.. His.
gems entry In the field In order to
drive the Hisgens from Cheshire. the
trust dropped the price to- 1-2 cents
per gallon.
Mr. Higsen's recital under cross-ex-
animation OF the burning or the four
brothers Oil plant there In 1904, caused
a stir Ia the corut room. They placed
their loss at $4,000. Milburn asked
II the loss had not been to the insur.
ance adjuster, as $s.432, with a total
insurance OF sl1,S43. The witness
could not cite figures. but said the
result in damage to business was
greater than that TO property alone.

there are goodly number present,

as a Revelation of Ideal Friend
ship" @. .-..s .-..~...-
Philippians is one of the simplest
books in the new testament. It is a
personal letter, consequently not a
doctrinal exposition. In it there is
no word of blame, but it is made
an occasion of thanksgiving for
donations sent to Paul while in
prison at Rome. The Christians in
that city were neglecting Paul. The
pastor at Philippi is sent to call
with a gift from his church, and this
letter is his thank you," and gives
an insight into the Apostles great
heart of love. .-.-s .ss...-=..s~
The Epistle is not subject to
analysis, and is this one of the chief
charms, the outpouring of the warm
heart of the Apostle for their kindly
remembrance. - 49,. -
There are four ideas which mark
every friendship: one, confidence;
two, counsel; three, ideals; four,
gratitude, and these are all found
in this Epistle. Each puts its domi-
mating quality one of the chapters.
First, confidence. We find this
in the first chapter, Paul shows his
confidence in God and in Gods
purpose toward the Philippian
Christians that he who had begun
a good work in them would carry it
on to the end.
Second, counsel. There are two
lets" in this chapter; an inlet and
an outlet. Let this mind be in you
which is also in Christ Jesus" and
LET nothing be done through strife
or vainglory." The Dead Sea has
no outlet, but an inlet. Consequent
lily its waters are bitter: while the
Sea Of Galilee has both inlet and
outlet and it's waters are sweet and
wholesome. .
Some take in all that is possible
and give out nothing. Three ideals:
This quality Of friendship is found
in the third chapter and nowhere is
| Paul shown to greater advantage.
! It is said that Paul grew thee
logically but it did not change hi:
| doctrines.
Four, gratitude. This is clearl,
set forth in the fourth chapter. Pau

! appreciation. It is delightful

thing to know how to be grateful.
The Philippian church was purest
in life, soundest in doctrine, and
most abundant in liberalitY, yet this
foremost church of the Apostolic age
has entirely disappeared. But it
did not live in vain. 1t brought
forth this wonderful letter of friend

Theme: "The Self Revelation of
Jesus as Shown in the Gospel Accord
ing to John.''
In this book we have series of
revelations of Jesus as the incar-
nate word and we have also in
the subject for this morning what
Jesus said of Himself, and how He
reveals Himself that men may know
Him as the Son of God.
In an analysis of this book with
this thought in view, we have first
the prologue, 1:11-18, in which
Jesus is shown as the pre-existance
word, the true light and the incar-
nate word.
From 1:19 to Isl he reveals
himself to His diciples as the Lamb
of God, the Son of God, the Messiah,
the King Of Israel and the Son OF
Man.
In chapters two to twelve, He
reveals Himself to the Jews, Samari
tans and Gentiles as Creator, Give1
of Eternal Life, Messiah, Universe
/ Judge, Bread Of Life, Fountain o.
